Chapter 484 Five Spirits
Is this a living spirit tree?
No, it's not possible.
The tree of life already has a mother soul. If it is a tree of life, the Immortal Lord from Heaven and others would not say that a tree spirit has been produced.
Xu Qiuqian hesitated for a moment, then took another half step forward, until there was only a small distance between him and the tree. Then he rested his head against the trunk, with his hot eyebrows touching the trunk.
"Who are you?"
She heard a male voice.
Xu Qiuqian was stunned.
It was not because she heard a male voice, nor because the voice seemed to have discovered her and asked who she was, but because the voice was very similar to the voice of the Immortal Lord from Heaven.
Did she hear it wrong? "Why are you following me?" the voice sounded again.
Apart from the voice that sounded very much like the Immortal Lord from Heaven, there was no other voice at all.
There was a long silence.
"Forget it, if you want to follow me, just follow me." The voice was helpless.
"Do you want to see the Five Flower Pond?"
After hearing the three words "Wuhuachi", Xu Qiuqian finally confirmed that the voice came from Tianwai Xianjun. Based on the content of the voice, Xu Qiuqian guessed that these words were most likely what the tree spirit said when it first met Tianwai Xianjun.
Then she continued to listen and confirmed her guess.
She had not heard the voice of the tree spirit, but she could still learn what had happened through the voice of the Immortal Lord from Heaven.
The existence of the tree spirit was told to the Immortal Emperor by the Immortal Lord from outer space.
The Immortal Emperor was very happy about this, and he agreed to the request of the Heavenly Immortal King to see the tree spirit.
"Do you blame me? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be locked up here and unable to get out again."
I don’t know what the tree spirit answered.
"Why?"
"You don't know what resentment is?" Tianwai Xianjun chuckled, "That's right, how can a tree spirit know what resentment is?"
Then his voice became erratic.
"So do you want to run around like you used to?"
"I can help you leave here, but I have one condition. You take the things in this storage bag and leave. Put these five flowers and magic weapons on the Jedi Island. After that, no one can restrain you from doing anything you want and going wherever you want."
Then the tree spirit seemed to agree without hesitation for long.
"Don't be so hasty to agree. I have something else to say. Once you leave here, you can't come back. And if you go down there, even if you encounter danger, no one will protect you. Think it over before you answer me."
Then there was silence again for a while.
Tianwai Xianjun said: "Okay, if that's the case, then I will help you leave here... Me? Of course I want to leave, but I'm different from you, I can't leave..."
His voice lowered and he sounded lost.
But soon, he returned to his original indifferent voice.
"Okay, go away and don't come back. Even if you come back, don't come back alone."
The tree spirit was sent out of Xiandu by him.
Xu Qiuqian thought that this was the end.
The voice of the Immortal Lord from Heaven sounded again.
"I was whipped with the Immortal Whip, but they only knew that I let you go, not that you took Wuhua away. They didn't dare to kill me, after all, I was still useful... It's ridiculous, do they really think Xiandu is the immortal world after ascending?"
His voice became extremely low, as if he was whispering.
"It's up to you, Mu Ling..."
The sound was so soft that Xu Qiuqian couldn't hear it even though she was concentrating.
She stayed there for a while but heard no more sound, and the burning sensation on her forehead faded away.
Xu Qiuqian opened her eyes, lifted her head away from the tree trunk, and looked at the small tree in front of her.
After a while, he turned and left.
She came to Tianwai Pavilion again.
Zou Xianshi saw her, but he didn't show any surprise.
"The Immortal said he was waiting for you at the Five Flower Pond."
Xu Qiuqian responded.
She came to the Five Flower Pond.
The Immortal King from Heaven was still staring at the Five Flower Pond in a trance.
This time, Xu Qiuqian did not wait for the Immortal King to speak first.
"You let the tree spirit go, so that those people will find out that the tree spirit can leave here and start a war?"
"Provoke a war? No." Tianwai Xianjun denied calmly, "I have never thought about it. The people in Xiandu really don't know that only humans cannot leave Xiandu. If I do this, it will indeed cause turmoil in Xiandu, but that's all."
After all, people really can't leave Xiandu.
No matter how he manages this matter, in the end it will be nothing more than a lot of noise with little results, and it will instead expose his true purpose.
Xu Qiuqian was puzzled.
"Then why did you help it leave? Also, why did you let it put Wuhua and those magic weapons on the Jedi Island? What exactly do you want to do?"
The Immortal Lord sighed.
"So you even know all this."
Xu Qiuqian said calmly: "So all this is true. What are you planning? What do you know?"
She had just found out about all this when the Immortal Lord from Heaven had already sent Zou Xianshi to wait for her.
He expected her to come, so Xu Qiuqian didn't want to beat around the bush anymore.
"It's true."
Then, the Immortal Lord from Heaven recounted what happened at that time.
Although Xu Qiuqian had learned most of the information from the tree before, there were still some small parts he didn't know, such as why the Immortal Emperor only whipped the tree spirit a few times with the Immortal Whip after learning that the Immortal Lord from Beyond Heaven had released it. That was because the Immortal Lord from Beyond Heaven was still useful, and the Immortal Emperor wanted to obtain his lifespan, so he didn't kill him.
For example, why did he let the tree spirit go, and why did he let the tree spirit put the five flowers and the magic weapon on the Jedi Island.
"The Immortal Emperor wants your life span?"
The Immortal Lord from Heaven hummed.
His voice was still calm, but it revealed an inexplicable sarcasm: "He calls himself the Immortal Emperor, but in fact he does not have an endless lifespan. If he is really an immortal, how could he want to steal my lifespan?"
"So... has he already started?"
"I've already started, but I was delayed by something."
"What is it?"
Xu Qiuqian was quite curious, what could be more important than life span?
"Five spirits."
Five Spirits, could it be the Five Spirits she was thinking of?
Then, the words of the Immortal Lord from Heaven confirmed her guess.
"He calculated that the Immortal City would be destroyed by the Five Spirits."
Xu Qiuqian was stunned again.
"So he wanted to kill us because he calculated that Xiandu would be destroyed by the Five Spirits, not because we posed a threat to him?"
"A threat? In a way, that is true. Once the Immortal Capital is destroyed, he will no longer be able to be the Immortal Emperor."
Xu Qiuqian was very confused.
With the cultivation of the Immortal Emperor, without the Immortal Capital, wouldn't he be able to ascend to heaven and have an infinite lifespan without having to steal the lifespan of others? So he did all this just to continue to be the Immortal Emperor?
At this time, the Immortal Lord from Heaven looked at Xu Qiuqian.
"Do you know the true identity of the tree spirit?"
Xu Qiuqian's heart moved, and she couldn't help but think of the words she heard at the beginning.
Wood Spirit...
Could it be——
"The tree spirit is Mu Lingzi?"
I've been having a serious writer's block these days. This is the first time I've reached a million words. But I spent a day yesterday sorting out the plot, so it should be fine. Sorry again!!
