Soon, something appeared in front of Zhou Qing.

It was a large colorful ball of light with mist constantly rolling and flowing inside. The source of will was this ball of light.

Zhou Qing asked, "Who are you?"

"The original world tree."

The answer is the same as Zhou Qing's guess.

"Young Holy Spirit, are you here for the Original Realm Fruit?"

"Senior has a keen eye."

The original world tree appeared since the birth of the void and has existed until today, comparable to the Lord of Tao.

Regardless of strength or age, it is reasonable and correct for Zhou Qing to call him a senior.

And this month, the golden finger of [Holy Spirit of Wood] really came into play at this time.

"No Holy Spirit has come to me for many ages, and you are the second Holy Spirit of Wood Dao."

The original world tree had a sense of remembrance in its mind, and it continued:

"Technically speaking, we are the same kind."

The original world tree is certainly not the Holy Spirit, but he was also born with the Tao and has a direct relationship with the Tao. Compared with the Holy Spirit directly conceived by the Tao, it is indeed similar.

If the relationship between the innate gods and demons and the Holy Spirit is almost like "father and son", then the primordial world tree and the Holy Spirit are "cousins".

Zhou Qing asked directly: "I wonder why you invited me here?"

"The original world fruit is useless to me, so I do not prohibit others from taking it in every era of destiny. As long as I am satisfied, it is no problem to give others an opportunity."

The original world tree said: "Every time the world fruit matures, if there is a holy spirit here, I will take care of it, and you are no exception."

The World Tree has spirits, but they are not real life. Perhaps this is the price it pays for its eternal existence. Life will eventually die, but I have never been "alive", so naturally I will not worry about death anymore...

Precisely because it has no life, the Original World Tree does not have any convoluted thoughts and speaks directly.

Zhou Qing was delighted and said quickly:

"Thank you for your care, senior."

"You're welcome." The Primordial World Tree said:

"This primordial world fruit is the same to anyone, so why not give it to you?"

It can only be said that the golden finger never fails at critical moments, and it directly allows Zhou Qing to receive extraordinary treatment at the original world tree.

This also once again verified some of Zhou Qing's ideas.

There is no such thing as completely random.

Zhou Qing asked: "Senior, is there anything I can do for you?"

"No need, I will just send you directly to the Primordial World in the World Fruit."

The original world tree: "The obstacles on the road to the world fruit for others are all set by me. As long as I am satisfied, it's fine."

In other words, if a person can satisfy the original world tree from the beginning, then those obstacles do not have to be experienced and can be completely omitted.

These are the rules set by the original world tree, and naturally it has the final say in everything.

The original world tree said again: "You are very good. You have both pure yang and true martial arts. Your future is limitless. You have the hope of becoming a Taoist master."

"I just hope that if you really take that step in the future, you can take good care of people like you and me when the situation allows."

"Remember the teachings of our predecessors."

Zhou Qing felt respect in his heart; the original world tree was indeed a virtuous "tall tree".

"In the world fruit, the speed of time is different from the outside world. You will be able to come out in ten days in the outside world, so don't worry."

The original world tree continued, "The last time the Holy Spirit of Wood came to me, I not only gave him the world fruit directly, but also gave him some guidance."

"I will not be partial to one and will give you some advice."

"You are now at the peak of the extreme realm. The Realm Fruit can indeed assist your subsequent practice, but it is impossible for you to break through directly."

"I know where another opportunity is. If you can get it, then the combination of the two will surely greatly advance the time it takes for you to condense the Illusionary Dao Fruit."

Zhou Qing didn't expect to have such a harvest, and immediately said: "Please give me some advice, senior."

"In the Nine Netherworlds, there is a secret place where time and space are in chaos and disorder. As long as you have the corresponding method, you can directly touch the origin of time from there and go to the initial point where everything has not yet taken shape."

Zhou Qing was a little surprised: "Reverse time?"

"It doesn't turn back time. It just allows you to personally contact the source of time. It can't make any changes to history."

The Primordial Realm briefly explained: "To be precise, it was more like a time overlap. At that time, you and the origin of time briefly intersected, but it did not allow you to truly descend into that time."

"That state is extremely helpful for advancing to the Yuan Realm, but apart from practicing, you can't do anything else with the Origin of Time."

"I see." Zhou Qing nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

“So how can I use that place?”

"Just bring one of my leaves with you." The Primordial World Tree said, "I was born in the most ancient time. The leaf can be used as a token to locate the source of time and directly activate that upside-down place."

A leaf of the original world tree is a world, but not all leaves evolve into worlds.

Some leaves still maintain their normal posture.

As a sacred tree of the Dao Lord level, one of its leaves is actually a treasure. Generally, only other Dao Lords can come here in person to obtain it.

But since the World Tree is willing to give it to Zhou Qing, then naturally everything will not be a problem. Besides, for a tree that big, losing a leaf will not cause any damage.

"But it is in the Netherworld, where evil spirits are everywhere. Now that destiny has manifested, there are countless strong men in the Netherworld. I don't know exactly what the situation is like in that upside-down place now." The Primordial Realm Tree reminded:

"Moreover, after normal creatures enter the Nine Netherworld, they will be incompatible with the Nine Netherworld and may even be marked and rejected by the Nine Netherworld. At that time, your existence will be as conspicuous as a candle in the dark night, and will attract countless evil demons from the Nine Netherworld to deal with you."

"The Netherworld is extremely hostile to normal creatures. You should consider whether you want to enter the Netherworld."

"Senior, you have good intentions. How can I let you down? I am determined to go into the Netherworld and take a look." Zhou Qing said:

"Please rest assured, senior. I will be extremely careful."

When such a great opportunity comes before you, how can you just give it up without even trying?

As for the fact that Jiuyou rejects normal creatures, it is not a problem for Zhou Qing.

I, Zhou Qing, can be a human, a holy spirit, or a Nine Nether Demon! "Then I will give you a leaf."

A piece of emerald green leaf appeared out of thin air in front of Zhou Qing. This was the leaf of the original world tree, an extremely miniature version of it.

The World Tree is not a human. After advising Zhou Qing, it won't say anything more.

It takes care of Zhou Qing only because of its identity as a Holy Spirit.

Zhou Qing accepted the leaves and thanked the World Tree again.

"Go ahead and enter the realm directly. No one will disturb you."

"Then I won't bother you anymore, Senior."

Zhou Qing left here and looked at the "egg" in the sky, feeling deeply moved for a moment.

It's so easy! It's not that difficult to "fight" for this primordial fruit. Just chat and it'll be fine.

What's difficult about it? It has always been simple, okay? Zhou Qing suggests that those who find it difficult should reflect on themselves and see if they have worked hard over the years and whether their cultivation has improved.

Zhou Qing took a step forward and arrived next to the Original Realm Fruit.

You see, isn’t this very simple?

Looking at the big "egg" in front of him, Zhou Qing walked in without hesitation.

Inside the world, everything is in chaos and nothing is traceable. It is the most primitive and ancient period.

Here, you can experience the primordial state at the Pure Yang Extreme and the True Martial Extreme.

And later on, the world inside the realm fruit will begin to evolve, imitating the birth of nothingness and the emergence of the Great Dao, which will be of infinite benefit to condensing the illusory Dao fruit.

No longer thinking about anything else, chaos engulfed Zhou Qing, his perception extended infinitely and became one with this place.

Gradually, Zhou Qing felt as if he had disappeared and completely merged with the original world. His body turned into the origin, evolving the great way and transforming all things.

After Zhou Qing entered the original world fruit, from the perspective of nothingness and void, this world fruit disappeared directly into the void and could no longer be seen.

This just represents that the world fruit has been occupied by someone and has entered a state of evolution.

Those Heavenly Masters who had not entered the original world tree were greatly surprised when they saw this scene.

"In less than half a minute, someone has obtained this Primordial Realm Fruit?"

In the void, the will of a celestial master spread across the sky, expressing his surprise.

"The Holy Spirit didn't come this time. Logically, it will take at least several days to get the results."

Every Heavenly Master found this very strange. They didn't know the situation inside the World Tree, but this was undoubtedly very abnormal.

Many people know that the Holy Spirit will receive preferential treatment here at the Original World Tree. After all, more than one Holy Spirit has been here in history, and its special features have long been discovered by others.

But these Heavenly Lords were extremely certain that this group of people who entered the World Tree did not have the Holy Spirit at all.

What's going on? "Who got the original fruit?"

While several Heavenly Masters were puzzled, the Heavenly Masters of the Ultimate Realm who had just entered the Original World Tree also came out.

The first world fruit already had an owner, so there was naturally no need for them to continue fighting for it. The world tree simply released them.

"Is it over? I just took action."

"How come it's over so soon?"

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

“…”

The various Heavenly Lords were also unable to remain calm, as they felt it was very sudden. They glanced around and soon everyone knew who had not come out. Everyone looked towards Qingshou Heavenly Lord.

Someone asked, "Fellow Daoist Qingshou, what's going on with your fellow Daoist from the Supreme Daoist Palace?"

"I see that he is a human, not a holy spirit. How did he do it?"

I don’t know.

Qing Shou was also a little confused. What did Zhou Qing do? But Qing Shou looked calm. He said calmly, "The battle for the original world fruit depends on each person's ability. Everything is decided by the world tree. What? Do you want to question Senior World Tree? "Everyone should prepare well and wait for the next world fruit."

Qing Shou, who came from the Tai Shang Taoist Palace, would naturally not be intimidated by others at this time.

Seeing his attitude, the other Heavenly Lords stopped talking.

However, Zhu Tianzun's mood was still somewhat complicated.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, we hadn't even started yet, but it was already over.

Some people sighed, some were angry, and some didn't care. After all, the World Tree would produce at least three World Fruits, and there would be opportunities later.

However, all the Heavenly Masters present really remembered Zhou Qing and were deeply impressed.

In the void, time passes.

Within the world, chaos evolves.

The speed of time flow in the two places is quite different, especially in the primordial state, which greatly delays the perception of time, as if tens of millions of years have passed.

After ten days had passed in the void outside, the world inside the boundary fruit had come to an end.

The sky collapsed, the earth cracked, everything came to an end and was being destroyed.

Each original world fruit will start from the beginning of all things and evolve all the way to the end of the world, forming a complete cycle.

Zhou Qing, whose body has merged with the world fruit, can naturally experience this cycle perfectly.

When the world was destroyed, this primordial world fruit turned into black ash, completely dissipated, and merged into the nothingness and void.

Zhou Qing appeared before the eyes of all the Heavenly Lords. His aura was rising and falling, so majestic that it caused waves even in the boundless void.

It can be seen that he has indeed made some progress, which makes some Tianzuns envious.

As for the identity of the Holy Spirit of Wood, these Heavenly Lords were unable to detect it. After all, Zhou Qing was in the same realm as them, so how could such a secret matter be easily leaked?

The surging power of the void brought Zhou Qing back to his senses. Feeling that gaze, Zhou Qing was very calm.

People like him are like the sun. No matter where they go, they will not be ignored. It is normal for them to be in the spotlight.

Zhou Qing came to Qing Shou and the others. Qing Shou looked at him and said:

"You really are...always surprising and unexpected."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "It was just luck."

Qing Shou shook his head and did not ask Zhou Qing how he did it. Everyone has secrets, and it is not a good habit to ask about something.

What's more, Zhou Qing's identity is special and Tai Chi Tu personally recognizes him, so it's normal to be a little strange.

"I didn't expect that the ownership of the first original world fruit would be determined so quickly. And since each person can only get one world fruit, the second one is of little use."

Qing Shou: "Let's go back to Xuanhuang Realm first."

Zhou Qing said, "I have one more thing to do, so maybe you should go back first."

Since Zhou Qing knew about the upside-down place in Jiuyou, he must go and take a look.

Qing Shou looked at Zhou Qing, pondered for a moment, and said:

"No matter what you do, you must be careful. Don't worry about Xuanhuang Realm. I will take good care of it."

"Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist."

Zhou Qing left alone. He had already got the chance to obtain the Realm Fruit, so there was nothing to be nostalgic about here.

There are other treasures here at the original world tree, but the problem is that the world tree is spiritual. If you want to get those things, you have to see whether the world tree agrees or not.

Zhou Qing had communicated with Jie Shu face to face and had already gained a lot, so he should not be greedy.

The other Heavenly Masters watched Zhou Qing leave, but there was no incident of following him.

…

"Nine Netherworld..."

Zhou Qing walked forward in the void, thinking about what to do after entering the Netherworld. He was surrounded by dead darkness, without any light or life.

He knew where Jiuyou was. To be precise, after reaching the level of Pure Yang God and True Martial Saint, he could sense Jiuyou's existence in the dark as long as he wanted.

This world is extremely special. It is the opposite of the heavens and is closely related to the heavens at the level of fate and cause and effect.

For some normally destroyed worlds, their debris may naturally drift to the vicinity of Jiuyou and then fall into Jiuyou even without any interference.

Over the long years, Jiuyou's size has grown to an unimaginable scale.

After crossing the endless nothingness, evil, darkness, and the combined aura of all negative forces flowed in the void.

Zhou Qing looked far ahead, and a black color that was completely different from the void appeared in front of him. Just looking at it made Zhou Qing subconsciously feel some disgust in his heart.

That darkness is Jiuyou.

In the Nine Netherworld, even the boundaries are black. It is infinite and boundless. No other world can compare to the Nine Netherworld in terms of size.

Within the boundary wall are layers of worlds and universes. The time and space of the Nine Netherworld are so complex that it is unimaginable.

Since ancient times, too many normal worlds have fallen into the Nine Netherworld and become part of the Nine Netherworld. In addition, the gathering of various negative forces will also make the Nine Netherworld stronger. Its growth rate is unimaginable for the normal world.

Jiuyou is like a glutton, devouring everything and accepting no one who comes.

Zhou Qing observed outside for a while, then activated his Wanhua characteristics and transformed into a race inside Jiuyou.

After transforming into an evil demon, Jiuyou, whom Zhou Qing had originally hated from the bottom of his heart, actually began to attract Zhou Qing. The closer he got to Jiuyou, the warmer he felt, as if he was back home.

Obviously, such attraction represents the change of Zhou Qing. Even Jiuyou has recognized his identity as a demon, and no one can see through it.

The characteristics of the soul obtained by visualizing the Great Thousand Immortal Tree are still extremely powerful and seamless even at this stage.

There is no problem for Zhou Qing to maintain his human form. Many masters among the Nine Netherworld monsters also like to maintain their human form.

He entered the Nine Netherworlds, and the boundary wall did not block him.

The appearance of Jiuyou is completely different from the normal world.

There were three black suns and four red moons hanging in the sky of this Netherworld. They coexisted but could not bring any warmth or dazzling light.

Under the shining of three suns and four moons, this layer of the Nine Netherworld is still gray, and black mist is moving in many places between heaven and earth, like a snake.

The earth is barren and silent, and there are many absurd and strange things across it.

At the same time, Zhou Qing could also feel violence and murderous intent brewing in his heart. The devilish charm between heaven and earth was constantly distorting your mind, forcing you to fight and kill.

This is Jiuyou.

Some weak monsters of various shapes are wandering around the earth. Once they meet, they will break out into a fight and stain the earth with blood.

For the Nine Netherworld monsters, killing does not require a reason or logic; they will just start attacking as soon as they meet.

Monsters are inherently brutal and bloodthirsty, even worse than demons, and the environment of the Nine Netherworlds stimulates their nature to the greatest extent.

This is a complete killing field.
