Chapter 36 Ancient Ruins Secret News (Second Update)

  Thanks for the rewards from book friends "Chen QiQi" and "Zhong You Zhi"!

  The second watch is here, and the third watch will likely arrive around 11 o'clock. Everyone can get up early tomorrow to see it. Staying up late is not good for your body.

  ————

  The power of the Longevity Tree, he had just witnessed it, and the five-headed behemoth was powerless to resist.

  And now, it seems that he has to take action against himself. Jiang Xiaoyu's heart is almost in his throat. He wants to escape from this place, but finds that his body seems to be restrained and can't move at all!

  Jiang Xiaoyu's breathing grew heavier, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead. Since coming to this world, this was the first time he felt the breath of death so close to himself. On a day before coming to this world, he had also had such a feeling.

  At that time, he fell from the high-rise building and faced the earth's gravity, he had no way to break it. But now, that feeling of powerlessness has appeared again. If one can live, who would want to die?

  "Don't panic, I don't have malicious intent."

  A faint voice that couldn't be distinguished as male or female appeared in Jiang Xiaoyu's mind. That's right, just like the system's prompt tone, it was floating in her mind, not something she heard with her ears.

  Looking at the ancient wisteria in front of her, Jiang Xiaoyu widened her eyes and asked, "Are you talking to me?"

  "It is I who am transmitting sound to you." The tone remained flat, making it impossible to detect any emotional fluctuations.

  Jiang Xiaoyu turned his head, looking at the Longevity Tree. On the surface, he was calm and collected, but in his heart, a huge storm was brewing. This guy could actually communicate with humans, it was really unbelievable!

  The branches and leaves of the Long Life Tree were swaying, making a soft rustling sound that was crisp and pleasant to hear.

  "He did so in order to avoid being harassed by this group of people." Changsheng Shu explained.

  These people in its mouth are naturally those who are secretly watching. This also shows that it has something to discuss with Jiang Xiaoyu.

  At this point, Jiang Xiaoyu looked puzzled and asked: "What's going on that you need my help?"

  "I'm going to die..."

  Jiang Xiaoyu furrowed his brow, this tree was evergreen for thousands of years, now it's clearly full of vitality, why did it say it's about to die? Moreover, even if it is dying, what use is finding him? He wasn't a tree planter, how could he help it?

  Affected by the green light, outsiders could only see Jiang Xiaoyu standing still on the spot, seemingly thinking about something. This was a kind of divine ability that disturbed others' vision, and even that ancient wisteria they couldn't see!

  "What's wrong with him? Could it be... has he received the teachings of the Longevity Tree?"

  "Can the Long Life Tree preach?"

  "An ancient existence that has been preserved since antiquity always has some mysterious aspects that others cannot understand, even saints may not know everything."

  Everyone began to argue, some of whom looked at the dark-skinned giant with envy, wondering where this guy's luck came from, and received the favor of the Longevity Tree, the Divine Fruit, I'm afraid he can get one!

  All kinds of envy, admiration and hatred! Could it be that the Longevity Tree saw through the true state of the dark-skinned giant, so it passed on its teachings to him? As everyone knows, no cultivator at the Divine Bridge realm has ever come in, yet this dark-skinned giant is suspected to be a Divine Bridge existence.

  Not to mention the Divine Bridge, even the strong ones above the Fifth Heaven of the Dragon Transformation Realm haven't entered! The few strong ones who have entered are mostly from below the Fifth Heaven of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and they're all old and frail.

  The crowd did not disperse, but instead waited quietly. The Longevity Tree was right in front of them, and the Divine Fruit was on the tree, how could they leave? Wasn't the purpose of this trip to obtain the Divine Fruit? Some were for themselves, while others were laying the foundation for future generations.

  Even if neither of them is, after getting it out and selling it, they can sell for an astronomical figure! Cultivation is a way to cultivate, besides cultivation, also need a large amount of resources, heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Without these resources, cultivation is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

  Jin Chi Da Peng Niao, Xiao Hou Ye these people, although they are among the best of humans, it can't be denied that they also have corresponding backgrounds and are being heavily supported by powerful forces behind them! Think about Fang Hen again, they have natural talent and enlightenment.

  At the beginning, he had offended a big shot on Xuanfeng Mountain. If it wasn't for meeting Jiang Xiaoyu, he would probably be hiding in the village now and wouldn't have been able to formally enter the ranks of cultivators this lifetime!

  Get rid of your useless treasures and sell them, use the obtained spirit stones to buy what you need, this is also a compulsory course in cultivation.

  ……

  ……

  Jiang Xiaoyu fell silent for a moment before asking: "What can I do for you?"

  The Longevity Tree didn't rush to respond, instead saying something unrelated, "Do you know the origin of this ancient relic?"

  Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head, he didn't know much about many things, let alone this mysterious world. Many people had speculated that it was a cave opened by a legendary figure from ancient times, but who exactly, no one knew.

  "This world was created by five top-notch individuals in ancient times."

  The words "Changsheng Tree" were like a heavy bomb, striking Jiang Xiaoyu's heart. He stared with wide eyes, looking at Changsheng Tree with an unbelievable face. Many people have speculated, but they all suspected that it was created by one person!

  About this small world, it is generally the strong who open up their own territory and will not cooperate with others. As for how, he doesn't know, just hearsay.

  "I don't remember the specifics very clearly, I suffered a severe setback in ancient times and my memory was fragmented. Some memories are also very vague, only remembering that many gods fell, saints were slaughtered like pigs and dogs, and blood rained from the sky..." The Longevity Tree remained indifferent.

  This... Jiang Xiaoyu took a deep breath, and in the ancient era, there were still such secrets. What exactly happened? Even powerful gods fell from the sky, and saints were slaughtered like pigs and dogs. What exactly happened in the ancient times?

  Jiang Xiaoyu couldn't help but start thinking, remembering that someone had once said that the ancient times were a prosperous and flourishing era for humanity, but now some traditions have been interrupted and haven't been passed down to the present. Could it be that there's some connection between this matter?

  "I don't know what happened either, my memories are vague." Before Jiang Xiaoyu could ask a question, the Long Life Tree had already guessed her thoughts.

  If the ancient legacy were to be passed down to this day, and one were to promote their own methods, it would not be so easy. This is a declining prosperous era, where geniuses gather, but there are no powerful magical techniques or divine abilities.

  In such an era, Shi Huangli pulled out the ancient relics of the early years. Even so, it won't make much difference, the main one is still Jiang Xiaoyu! Gongfa, Shentong, he has them all! It's just that they were promoted by different people.

  "Why tell me this?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked in puzzlement.

  "I can sense that there's a strange curse within you. Logically, with such a curse, you shouldn't be able to cultivate and your life wouldn't be long-lived either. Your body seems to have something very strange." The Longevity Tree's words were astonishing.

  Jiang Xiaoyu's face changed color, and it was only when Xu Rou was in close proximity to her, examining her body, that she vaguely discovered the system's damn rule. But now this ancient tree seems to have no contact with her at all? Moreover, its discovery is even more thorough than Xu Rou's!

  What else could be the strange thing in his body? It must be a publicity stunt!

  "I have no interest in your secrets, I just vaguely feel that you are a key figure." said the Long Life Tree.

  "What key figure, and how did you see it?" Jiang Xiaoyu didn't say this sentence, but put down the stone in her heart.

  "I don't know, but you're the key figure, it's just a hunch. As for why I can see through it, it's because I'm the core of this world, guarding this land, from the moment you entered, I've been paying attention to you." Longsheng Tree replied.

  The five great ancient peak powers joined forces, with the Longevity Tree as the center, to establish this realm. What exactly do they plan to do? Jiang Xiaoyu's heart was shocked. He seemed to have been drawn into a massive whirlpool, or perhaps he had always been within it and only just realized it now.

  "I was heavily damaged in the ancient times, and it's already a blessing that I can survive until now. In this world, there are still many secrets you don't know about. The primordial ferocious beasts, the ancient remnants... these are just the tip of the iceberg. There are even some places where, as the center of the world, I am unable to explore."

  "If I die, this world will be devoid of any vitality. I'm telling you this so that you can prepare yourself and not fall here."

  The Longevity Tree finally stated the purpose of this conversation.

  Its language is plain and seems to have seen through life and death, fearless of everything. Death in its eyes is just like eating and drinking water, without any place worth panicking about.

  The ancient relics are just the tip of the iceberg, and Jiang Xiaoyu can fully understand this. But even the ferocious beasts of the Taigu era, are they also just the tip of the iceberg? Even the Longevity Tree, which is incredibly powerful, has some places that cannot be explored, so what else is hidden inside?

  "What's going on outside?" asked the Longevity Tree abruptly.

  Although it was powerful and unmatched, it couldn't perceive everything outside. After saying some things about the ancient ruins, it opened its mouth to ask questions.

  As for some things outside, Jiang Xiaoyu only knew a rough idea, and said: "The outside world has no saints, let alone gods. For thousands of years, not one person can reach the position of saint, the strongest is only the Divine Bridge cultivator."

  It can be summed up in one sentence how it is outside.

  "After all, it's still fallen... Alas!" The tone of the Longevity Tree finally changed, seemingly helpless and regretful.

  This sigh crossed the river of years, penetrating ancient and modern times, and was emitted from this ancient long-lived tree.

  It originally guessed that there should be one or two saints in the outside world, but unexpectedly none of them existed, let alone powerful gods. Although it is not in the outside world, it can feel a catastrophe coming.

  If the outside world is really as Jiang Xiaoyu said, it will be difficult to resist.

  For some reason, after the long-lived tree's sigh fell, Jiang Xiaoyu's mood also became heavy, as if something bad was really going to happen. This feeling is similar to that of a cultivator's intuition, with a special sense of foreboding in the darkness.

  At this time, Jiang Xiaoyu's face turned very colorful.

  "Hint: Found promoter, Chang Lingqing, Main Body: Longevity Tree, Can Promote Cultivation Method: Qing Emperor's Spiritual Incantation, Special Information: ???"
