CapĂtulo 1980: Chapter 1979: Hope for Lin Ruhuâs Rescue
The Old Tree can be said to be the origin of the Immortal Island.
His body transformed into the Immortal Island, and eventually life began to dwell upon it.
This massive tree island gradually developed.
Until nearly a thousand years ago, the Immortal Island became one of the four major territories of the Robbery Immortal Domain.
Their strength is also unfathomable.
Because the Immortal Island does not communicate with the outside world, few people can ascertain their true strength.
âThe image of the Old Tree, could this be the Immortal Token,â the young man exclaimed.
Seemingly recalling some legend.
Then quickly shook his head.
âImpossible, the Immortal Token is just a legend, how could it truly exist.
And how could this thing be in my fatherâs hands.â
The young man was deeply puzzled.
âWhat is the Immortal Token?â Xu Zimei asked.
âThisâŠâ The young man hesitated for a while.
He explained, âIn ancient times, our Immortal Island had a rumor.
It is said that in those years, the Old Tree was one of the most powerful existences between heaven and earth.
Before he died, he left behind his inheritance and everything he had.
And if one wanted to obtain this inheritance, they must acquire a piece of the Old Treeâs bark.â
âPeople of our later generations generally refer to the bark as the Immortal Token.
This was left by the Old Tree.â
âBut this matter is just a very ancient legend, as no one has truly seen the Immortal Token.
So everyone doesnât believe it.â
âHow did the Old Tree die?â Xu Zimei asked.
âLegend has it that he died under the heavenly punishment, the specifics Iâm not sure of,â the young man replied.
âAfter all, I have no contact with these matters.
Only my fatherâŠâ
The deceased father suddenly seemed mysterious in the young manâs eyes.
âYour father provoked enemies, which is why he took you away from the Immortal Island,â Xu Zimei said.
âDo you know who the enemies are?â
The young man still shook his head.
âI was young back then, I remember nothing.
After growing up, my father didnât want to bring up the past.â
âDo you want this Immortal Token?â Xu Zimei asked with interest.
He looked at the Token, indeed it was like a piece of bark, although smooth on the surface, it was rough inside upon closer inspection.
âI want it, but I donât want it,â the young man shook his head.
âWhy?â Xu Zimei asked.
âThe Old Tree is the origin of our Immortal Island, if I could get his inheritance.
I would become very strong,â the young man said longingly.
But then his expression darkened.
He replied, âBut I know, a common man is innocent, but cherishing a treasure can bring guilt.â
âRegardless of whether youâre willing to give me the Token or not, even if I obtained it, Iâm afraid I wouldnât be able to protect it.â
âIf the Token appeared, the entire Immortal Island would be engulfed in a tumultuous storm.
Even if I had a hundred lives, it wouldnât be enough to survive.â
âYou do have self-awareness,â Xu Zimei laughed.
âIt is important to have self-awareness, itâs something my father taught me,â the young man said.
âI really have to thank you.
Although it wasnât your intention, killing Ancestor Qiankun avenged my father.â
âActually, Iâm not really interested in the Old Treeâs inheritance,â Xu Zimei suddenly said.
At his level.
Indeed, following oneâs own path is the best.
No matter how strong others are, they are on their own path, unrelated to him.
âNot interested?â The young man was surprised.
âEven if I explained, you wouldnât understand,â Xu Zimei didnât want to elaborate.
So he asked, âTell me about the Old Tree.
If heâs so strong, how did he die?â
âThisâŠâ The young man hesitated, seemingly unwilling to say.
âWhy, is it something you canât talk about?â Xu Zimei asked.
âNot exactly, itâs just that the Old Tree is the origin of our Immortal Island; we respect him greatly.
However, the Old Treeâs reputation is actually not good.â
The young man said.
âMy father once told me that the Old Tree was a malevolent tree.
In ancient times.
The Old Tree stood tall above the ocean.
His roots connected the four directions: southeast, northwest, the entire Robbery Immortal Domain was under his shroud.
This Old Tree was extremely lascivious.
It is said that every year, people from the Robbery Immortal Domain had to worship him.
And the way to worship was to send ten thousand beautiful women on a giant ship to him.â
âOtherwise, it would get angry, call the wind and summon rain, lightning flashes and thunder roars, enveloping all creatures in the Robbery Immortal Domain in fear.â
âMoreover, aside from the worship, numerous women disappeared every year in the Robbery Immortal Domain.
After investigation, all signs pointed to the Old Tree.â
âLater, the Old Tree aroused public anger, but it was too strong, even if everyone united, they were no match for it.â
âUntil the Holy Court appeared.â
âIt is said that the Old Tree was destroyed by the Holy Court; it was uprooted and burned for a whole ten years, forming the current Immortal Island.â
The young manâs voice was much lower when speaking of this matter.
As if afraid of being overheard.
âWe people of the Immortal Island live on the Old Tree generation after generation.
So we are unwilling to speak ill of the Old Tree, nor do we allow others to do so.
But history proves that those things are true.â
As the young man spoke, Xu Zimeiâs mind felt like a thunderbolt.
He was somewhat excited, taking several deep breaths.
âLascivious Old Tree,
Lascivious?
Could it be it?â
Previously, he saved Lin Ruhu in the burial ground, but unfortunately had to absorb the Three Corpses Qi to survive.
Upper Corpse is fond of food, Middle Corpse loves luxury.
These were already defeated by Xu Zimei.
Only the Inferior Corpse remained, Xu Zimei couldnât find its trace for a long time.
Inferior Corpse is lascivious.
Xu Zimei didnât know if it was.
But inside, he was excited, he had to go and see.
Lin Ruhu could be saved.
He excitedly grabbed the young man, saying, âTake me to the Immortal Island.
Do you know the way?â
It seemed that Xu Zimeiâs demeanor shocked him, and the young man was stunned in place.
âHelp me find the Old Tree,â Xu Zimei took out the inheritance of Emperor Lu.
âThis thing will be yours.â
âIs this⊠Emperor Luâs bone knife?â The young man gasped.
Outside Victory City, that bone knife was quite famous, many people went there to eradicate the killing aura as a reward.
Naturally, the young man knew about it.
âThatâs right, as long as you find the Old Tree, this thing is yours,â Xu Zimei said.
He wasnât familiar with the Immortal Island, and now looking at the young manâs expression, it seemed the other party knew quite a bit.
âReally?â the young man asked.
âJust a small inheritance, I wouldnât deceive you,â Xu Zimei waved his hand.
âThe Immortal Island is in the east of the Robbery Immortal Domain, while our East Hundred City is in the west.
From east to west, itâs quite a long journey,â the young man said.
Xu Zimei took out the Time-Space Shuttle.
As for the journey, the young man didnât need to worry.
This was when he asked for the young manâs name.
The other party was called âLu Ling.â
Before leaving, the young man went home to retrieve a black box.
Then he boarded the Time-Space Shuttle and disappeared above Victory City.
The speed of this Time-Space Shuttle was indeed too fast; even Xu Zimei took a while to adapt.
