Chapter 590: Changsheng Millennium Change
The trees that were originally lush and green began to age visibly as the green light faded.
During this period, Ruomu had thought about counterattacking.
The trees trembled, and countless monsters evolved from them, attacking the monks fearlessly.
Even the trees themselves threw out their branches and stabbed like swords.
But the cultivation levels of those monks who came here were truly terrifying.
All resistance was futile and was suppressed in an instant.
Lian Ruomu's final blow, which dealt a heavy loss to both sides, caused all the purple-gold fruits on the top of the tree to wither.
They were all saved by this group of people.
Unable to resist, Ruomu could only watch as his life essence was being extracted at will.
The leaves slowly turned yellow and fell like rain.
Amidst the thunderous sound, many tree branches broke.
Cracks began to appear on the trunk of the Ruomu tree.
However, this group of people had no intention of giving up.
He looked like he would not stop until it was completely drained.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, it seemed that another group of monks arrived.
A scuffle broke out between the two sides and the extraction was forced to stop.
They successfully took out the green light ball condensed in the air, and when they evacuated, they did not forget to launch a joint attack on the already devastated [Ruomu].
The damage caused to Ruomu by this attack seemed to be greater than the forced extraction of his life energy just now.
A huge crack extended upward from the bottom of the trunk, and branches fell in large pieces, going nowhere.
Seeing this, the monks who came to rescue gave up the pursuit and hurriedly treated Ruomu.
Through their efforts, they finally managed to avoid Ruomu's fate of complete death.
But the damage it has suffered is too great to be reversed.
Since then, withering and aging have always accompanied it.
It was not until several years later that a human-shaped monk appeared in Ruomu.
…
The scenes seen in [Jian Renshou] are just broken pictures.
But the amount of information is enormous.
Li Fan watched it over and over again through the continuous replay of the Huadao Stone.
Combined with the information collected before, I gradually came up with some guesses.
"The group of cultivators who harmed Ruomu are probably the ones who advocated abandoning the Xuanhuang Realm and escaping far away when the catastrophe came."
"From the power they displayed, there are many immortal realm masters among them."
"Five hundred years ago, this group of people wanted to return to the Xuanhuang Realm for unknown reasons, which led to a great war."
"Sima Changkong once said that the heaven and earth showed extreme hatred towards these cultivators. They are even more hateful than those of us who plunder the heavens and earth."
"Traitor, what did you steal..."
"Could it be this Ruomu tree that can condense the [Immortal Fruit]?"
"Well... judging from the way these people act, I'm afraid there might be something else."
"Thousands of years have passed, and he has returned. Was it because he was unable to escape the Immortal Ruins after all? Or is there another reason?"
Li Fan frowned slightly.
The existence of Xianxu is no secret to the ten sects of the Immortal Path.
This group of people are so ruthless and leave no room for mercy.
Obviously, he was confident that he could successfully escape from the Xuanhuang Realm.
But no one knew what had happened that forced them to turn back.
There is too little known information, so let's ignore it for now.
No matter what, Li Fan finally understood why Ruomu was so resentful towards cultivators.
Whether it was the fruits being wantonly plundered by humans, or the fact that it was almost killed later.
The feud between it and the monks can be described as a fight to the death.
If Li Fan were treated like this, the means of revenge would probably be several times more cruel.
"After the Heavenly Venerable preached and established a new law, the Longevity Fruit no longer has the ability to prolong life."
"This may be a good thing for Ruomu."
"In a sense, spreading the Dharma can be considered its lifesaver."
"Otherwise, no matter how strong the tree is, it will probably still be plundered."
"From the fact that it wants to reverse [Injury to One's Kind], it should not have reached the realm of immortality yet. However, I don't know how long it has lived, and its body is such an incredible creation. Its strength cannot be measured by simple harmony with the Dao."
"It's above the Hedao level, but it doesn't prove immortality..."
"The gap between the Hedao and the Changsheng realm is a bit too wide."
The three strong men that Li Fan met, the Heavenly Doctor, the Fisherman, and this Rotten Wood, were all in this state.
Although this is just a coincidence, it can also illustrate from a certain perspective the difficulty of "going against the laws of heaven and earth and achieving immortality."
Although there are many heroes and talents in the world, there are only a few who can achieve longevity through new methods.
Li Fan had a dim look in his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
After summarizing what he had gained this time, Li Fan began to reflect.
"I was caught by Kuchiki this time and nearly lost my life. Overall, I was really unlucky."
"If I say that I have just made a breakthrough, I can't help but feel a little complacent..."
“That’s not the case.”
"This is Tianlingzhou City, and this is also a villa rented by Lundao Building. Safety is absolutely guaranteed."
"Who would have thought that a cultivator who does despicable business and sells golden elixirs would actually be a powerful being full of malice towards humans?"
Thinking of this, Li Fan couldn't help feeling helpless.
It's impossible for the real person to keep hiding and rely solely on the clone to act, right?
After all, a clone is just a clone, and many of its magical powers cannot be used.
He is still one small realm lower than me. It is nothing but a foolish dream to rely on him to cultivate to the realm of immortality.
"It's like being struck by lightning while walking down the street. It's a completely low-probability event, so don't throw the baby out with the bathwater."
"For many things, only I can do it without leaving any trace."
"However, we still need to find a way to prevent Taoist Xiumu's ability to distort and change people's thoughts."
"If it hadn't hated the monks, it would have let me go if it hadn't seen what I would do in the future and wanted to use me to take revenge on the monks."
"I'm afraid I don't know how long I'll be lost in the treetops before I wake up."
"I pride myself on being resolute enough, but I still don't have the ability to resist..."
"But in the world of immortal cultivation, there are endless strange objects and techniques, so we will definitely find a way to crack it."
"I don't ask for a complete block, as long as it can keep me a little awake, it will be enough to make up for my shortcomings."
Li Fan kept this matter firmly in mind and placed it at the top priority.
I plan to start looking for information in this area next.
After a long time, when his thoughts had calmed down, Li Fan finally picked up the dead branch that had been placed on the table.
Touching it carefully, Li Fan suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
It’s not because he had ever had close contact with Ruomu’s real body.
But because...
This branch seems to be somewhat similar to the material Jiao Xiuyuan used to make his clone.
