Chapter 2023: Tree Heart Lotus

Chapter 2023: Chapter 2023: Tree Heart Lotus

With the disappearance of the Saint Master, the grey world vanished as well.

Seeing this, Lu Chang’sheng waved his hand and said, "Then I’ll return to my body first."

After speaking, he turned around without any hesitation.

"Hey, hey, hey!" At this moment, the white-bearded elder called out to Lu Chang’sheng, "Leaving already? Aren’t you curious about who I am?"

Lu Chang’sheng didn’t even turn his head, rolled his eyes, and said, "What is there not to know? Do you take me for a fool?

Aren’t you the Dao Ancestor? If I couldn’t guess that, I’d have grown my brain for nothing?"

"Ahem." The Dao Ancestor coughed lightly and said, "So, is there nothing you’d like to ask this old man?"

"Oh, there is."

Lu Chang’sheng’s answer made the corners of the Dao Ancestor’s mouth twitch slightly.

But the next moment made the Dao Ancestor’s eyebrow twitch again and again.

"But anything I ask, you’ll definitely say, ’You will naturally know in the future’ or ’The secrets of heaven cannot be divulged’. Why should I bother to ask?" Lu Chang’sheng waved his hand, looking quite impatient, "I’m leaving first. You, old master, do what you need to do. I still have to prepare, in case those old folks from the Holy Court don’t play fair and stab us in the back."

The Dao Ancestor shook his head, "They won’t. Since they’ve said so, they won’t touch the Wilderness Realm."

"Wilderness Realm?" Lu Chang’sheng turned back.

The Dao Ancestor smiled, "These six worlds are referred to as the Wilderness Realm in the World Tree system. As for the Saint Master... I’ve been fighting him for so many years, and I understand his character.

Moreover, he has more important things to deal with now."

Lu Chang’sheng asked, "That petal?"

"That petal." The Dao Ancestor nodded, "This thing is a petal from the Tree Heart Lotus."

Lu Chang’sheng covered his mouth, eyes wide open, "Oh my, why didn’t you say so earlier!"

The Dao Ancestor: "You know about the Tree Heart Lotus???"

"I don’t."

"..."

The Dao Ancestor took a deep breath, "Is everyone on Earth like you now?"

Lu Chang’sheng nodded, "More exaggerated than me."

The Dao Ancestor’s eyebrow twitched, but fortunately, his Qi Cultivation Technique was quite good, allowing him to regain his composure, "Back then, the Heavenly Court and the Holy Court were mainly competing for the Tree Heart Lotus, aside from the fight over World Tree rights.

For the Holy Court, the existence of the Heavenly Court severely affected their success rate in obtaining the Tree Heart Lotus, as only the strength of the Heavenly Court made them wary."

"So it seems that the Tree Heart Lotus is quite extraordinary?" Lu Chang’sheng interjected.

The Dao Ancestor nodded, "To fight for a petal of the Tree Heart Lotus, the entire World Tree was practically drenched in blood."

Lu Chang’sheng nodded, "I understand, then I won’t compete for it."

The Dao Ancestor laughed, "Some things, even if you don’t want them, you’ll still be forced to that point."

Lu Chang’sheng said angrily, "Who can force me if I don’t want it myself?"

"Then tell me, do you intervene in your disciples’ affairs voluntarily?"

Lu Chang’sheng: "..."

Can we chat properly or not?

Can we still have a normal chat?!

The Dao Ancestor spoke surprisingly, "Look at you, you stop talking when faced with a difficult question."

Lu Chang’sheng glared, "Not sir? How would you, old man, know this phrase?"

It’s like having Emperor Qin Shi Huang sit in front of you and say, "Do you believe him or believe that I’m Qin Shi Huang?" and then pulling out an ID card to prove it.

The Dao Ancestor smiled and didn’t answer, instead shifted the topic, "The Tree Heart Lotus is the ’fruit’ borne from the Power of the World within the World Tree over many ages, containing enough power to allow someone of the Saint Master’s level to make another breakthrough.

Moreover, even placing it in your own sect, it would grow into another World Tree. Such a supreme treasure is unrivaled in the entire World Tree system!"

Lu Chang’sheng was slightly startled internally.

Indeed, if this is true, the Tree Heart Lotus really could be called the greatest treasure through the ages.

However.

For Lu Chang’sheng, its allure wasn’t that great.

He thought to himself, this level of treasure would become a hot potato even if obtained, so let whoever wants it fight for it!

The Dao Ancestor could see through Lu Chang’sheng’s expression and understood.

"Alright, for every other question you want to ask, I truly won’t tell you now. You will naturally know in the future..." The Dao Ancestor’s body began to gradually become transparent, "Besides, even if you knew, it would only prematurely involve you in cause and effect, which you wouldn’t want either, right?"

Lu Chang’sheng laughed, "You do know me well."

The Dao Ancestor faintly smiled, seemingly not having enough time to respond, as his form transformed into glimmers of golden soul light and scattered.

Seeing this.

This wisp of Lu Chang’sheng’s soul power also transformed into a strand of white light and returned to his main body.

Outside.

Almost everyone was staring at Lu Chang’sheng’s motionless figure.

During this time, some speculated that there was too much information, extending the Soul Searching Technique time too long.

Others believed that the Refuse Blue Sky God Pill had left a hidden measure in the Heavenly God’s Soul, causing Lu Chang’sheng to fall into a soul confrontation.

The Xuantian God was staring at Lu Chang’sheng, holding his breath with serious injuries, letting the energy in his body circulate.

But at this moment.

Eleven figures appeared in front of Lu Chang’sheng, separating him from the Xuantian God.

It was Ye Qiubai and the others.

Ye Qiubai said, "Your master left you alive for a purpose. If you insist on acting, I’m afraid you’ll waste your only chance at survival."

The others didn’t speak, just silently adhered the Creation Divine Talisman to their Dantian.

Though they’ve recovered most of their strength, their spiritual depletion isn’t easily remedied.

Forcing it now might even harm their foundation.

But since their master is behind them, even if it meant sacrificing their lives, Ye Qiubai and others wouldn’t hesitate.

The Xuantian God sighed and withdrew his aura.

He knew with his current injuries, this group of monstrous juniors could indeed hold him off for a while.

"Setting aside positions, your talent would be considered top-notch even in the Outer Heaven, in the Holy Court." The Xuantian God looked up, gazing at Ye Qiubai and the others.

Ye Qiubai said lightly, "Senior overpraises us."

The Xuantian God looked at Lu Chang’sheng, his gaze complex, suddenly teasing, "You could even call me your grandmaster."

Grandmaster?

Ye Qiubai and others were stunned.

The Xuantian God then recounted what happened with Lu Chang’sheng in the Immortal Realm, and after hearing it, Ye Qiubai and the others felt helpless.

No wonder the Xuantian God was so angry that he spit blood.

But now, he’s the last one left in the Immortal Realm, perhaps feeling death is unavoidable, so he let it go.

Humans will eventually let go before death.

Facing death, what’s there that can’t be let go?

And just at this moment.

A voice came from behind Ye Qiubai and the others.

"What, starting to build connections now?"

Everyone looked over.

It was Lu Chang’sheng!

They saw Lu Chang’sheng walking over, waving his hand all the while, erasing the flesh of the Cangtian God and the Dan Heavenly God completely, while also erasing the soul marks in those two interspatial rings thoroughly.

The Xuantian God watched this scene, his eye twitched, then said, "Why not search my soul?"

Lu Chang’sheng sighed, "Because I am kind."
