Holding the sword and holding the sister away

In Shenshu Palace, just as Fu Yan and Bai Yueli came out of the Xu Youyu Seal for double cultivation, Fairy Zixi finally received news——

After nearly ten years, Chu Lingling is finally about to leave the customs.

Originally, I thought it would only be five or six years at most, but I never thought that Chu Lingling's retreat this time would take another four or five years to come out. I heard from Fairy Xuefu earlier that something unexpected happened inside.

However, staying in Shenshu Palace for another four or five years will not have much impact on Fu Yan and Bai Yueli. After all, the two of them have indeed gained a lot from their cultivation during this period of time.

Except for Bai Yueli who forcibly suppressed and broke through the catastrophe, the two of them also had a prosperous life.

When she heard that something unexpected happened in Chu Lingling's seclusion, for some reason, Fu Yan inexplicably thought of crossing the catastrophe. Thinking about it carefully, after reincarnation, Chu Lingling ascended to immortality earlier than Lu Xiaowen.

Just like that, Fu Yan guessed that Chu Lingling had been locked up for so long this time, probably for the purpose of crossing the catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Fu Yan couldn't help but suppress the look in her eyes, paused for a moment, and fell into deep thought, until Bai Yueli who came from behind came over and yelled, she pulled her thoughts back again .

"What's wrong?" Bai Yueli looked at the figure in front of her and asked involuntarily.

After saying that, Fu Yan slowly raised her eyes, her face returned to her original expression, she shook her head naturally, and said casually, "Fairy Zixi said, Senior Chu finally left the gate last night."

Hearing this, Bai Yueli couldn't help being slightly startled.

"It's good to get out of the customs smoothly." Bai Yueli didn't think too much, but said with a smile instead.

Although she is not familiar with Chu Lingling and has never met a few times, but the other party is kind to Fu Yan. When she heard that Chu Lingling had an accident in retreat, Bai Yueli was also a little worried about it. Fortunately, she did not show up. What a big surprise.

Fu Yan nodded, and said again, "Since Senior Chu has left the customs, we should pack up and prepare to leave Shenshu Palace."

Bai Yueli nodded slightly in response.

It didn't take much effort before there was a knock on the door. Fu Yan, who had already tidied up simply, raised her foot and pushed open the door first, then walked out quickly, followed closely by Bai Yueli.

It was Fairy Zixi standing outside the door.

"You two, please come with me, the divine master is in the main hall." Fairy Zixi didn't say much, and directly expressed her intention to the two people in front of her.

"Okay." Fu Yan nodded respectfully and politely, and said, "Thank you Fairy Zixi."

After finishing speaking, she and Bai Yueli followed Fairy Zixi all the way to the main hall of Shenshu Palace. It was still the same as before. When entering the hall, Fu Yan couldn't help but casually glanced at the top, but quickly retracted it. own line of sight.

The hall was very empty and quiet, and soon, the figures of Fu Yan and Bai Yueli stood straight in the middle hall.

The last time when I stood here, Fu Yan deliberately asked Chu Lingling for help. After decades, when I stood here again, Fu Yan came to fulfill her original promise.

"God, they are here."

After Zixi brought him here, she respectfully reported to Chu Lingling above.

As soon as the words were finished, Fu Yan raised her eyes and looked at Chu Lingling above. The figure sitting on the chair had a stern expression, and she seemed to be the same as before.

However, Fu Yan inexplicably sensed that something was wrong with Chu Lingling's aura, as if it hadn't completely stabilized yet.

After a short pause, Fu Yan suddenly felt that her guess was probably right. Chu Lingling's retreat this time was indeed to overcome the tribulation. As for whether she succeeded, it is hard to say, but she must have suffered serious injuries.

"You guys go down first." Chu Lingling didn't have any superfluous emotions on her face, she looked down at Zi Xi and Xue Fu faintly, and said quietly,

The two of them had no doubts, and answered "Yes."

As the words fell, Fairy Zixi and Fairy Xuefu turned around very neatly, and walked out of the main hall of Shenshu Palace without looking sideways.

It was only a moment's work, and the surroundings were restored to the previous empty silence.

"I've met Senior Chu." Fu Yan stepped forward and said hello politely.

Hearing this, Chu Lingling from above turned her gaze on Fu Yan, and seemed to feel the strength emanating from Fu Yan in an instant, and couldn't help being a little stunned.

However, in just a few decades, Fu Yan's strength is almost the same as her peak period, which is indeed a bit surprising.

"Cough cough..."

Perhaps it was because the injuries in her body broke out again, Chu Lingling who was sitting on the seat couldn't help coughing softly, but her face didn't change at all.

The next moment, I saw Chu Lingling holding the edge of the seat slightly, stood up slowly, and then, under the watchful eyes of Fu Yan and Bai Yueli, walked down from the top step by step. In the blink of an eye, she had already stopped at the seat. in front of the two of them.

Although Chu Lingling seemed to be injured, there was no trace of weakness on her face.

Fu Yan did not bring up the topic of crossing the catastrophe. She collected herself and continued to ask, "The last time before the Immortal Gate Ceremony, Senior Chu asked me to do something. I don't know...what is it?"

Hearing this, Bai Yueli at the side couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at the two of them.

"Life fruit." Chu Lingling had already calmed down her aura. At this time, her eyes were dim, and she suddenly said three sonorous words.

After the words fell, Fu Yan couldn't help but pause slightly.

Life fruit?

It sounds like a very rare and rare fruit, but Fu Yan came here all the way from the Northern Territory, but she has never heard of this "life fruit", what exactly is it.

While thinking, Fu Yan subconsciously looked at Bai Yueli from the corner of her eye, who also shook her head slightly.

Obviously, Bai Yueli didn't know about this "life fruit".

Chu Lingling didn't have the idea of ​​deviating. Her expression didn't change, and she quickly continued to explain, "It is said that on this continent, there is a tree of life. This tree blooms once every thousand years and bears fruit once every ten thousand years. It is the fruit of life."

For a moment, both Fu Yan and Bai Yueli opened their eyes wide in surprise, obviously they had never heard of the legend of the tree of life.

However, after hearing Chu Lingling's words, Fu Yan also instantly realized how precious this life fruit is. After all, it takes ten thousand years to bear a fruit. If it wasn't for Chu Lingling's words, she would have thought that the other party was deceiving on purpose. Own.

"However, no one knows exactly where the tree of life grows, and what the fruit of life it bears looks like." Chu Lingling didn't care about the surprise of the two, but continued to speak out, "maybe , it doesn’t really exist.”

"But..." At this point, Chu Lingling changed the topic in an instant, raised her eyes to stare at Fu Yan in front of her again, and said calmly, "I hope you can bring the life fruit back."

As for why Chu Lingling was so attached to this life fruit, she never said much.

After slowly digesting the statement about the fruit of life, Fu Yan finally came back to her senses, and for a while, she couldn't help frowning slightly.

According to what Chu Lingling said, the tree of life may not even exist, but now she is asked to bring back the fruit of life. It sounds like she is deliberately making things difficult for herself, but Fu Yan is also very clear that the other party does not Will deliberately make fun of myself.

Chu Lingling really needed this life fruit very much.

"Over the years, I have searched almost all the four major domains and the central capital, but I found nothing." Chu Lingling's eyes moved slightly, as if a flash of pain flashed past, but it was fleeting, and soon returned to normal. "Even I have been in the vast and boundless primeval forest, but..."

It's just that she never thought that she would soon usher in her own catastrophe. Chu Lingling inexplicably felt that this catastrophe was not easy, so she had to come back and retreat quickly.

And the reason why Chu Lingling chose to ask Fu Yan to help was not because she had the idea of ​​having one more person and more strength.

If there is no great opportunity for a treasure like the tree of life, it may be difficult to meet in a few lifetimes, but she can see that Fu Yan has a lot of luck, maybe... there will be a glimmer of hope.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Chu Lingling is willing to give everything.

As Chu Lingling's words fell, the entire hall fell into silence again, and the three people in the middle hall seemed to have remained silent for a long time.

I don't know how much time has passed, but Fu Yan finally came back to her senses. She looked at Chu Lingling in front of her, and said suddenly, "Okay, I will try my best to help Senior Chu find the life fruit, but... I can't guarantee this matter." It must be done."

After all, it is uncontrollable to find the so-called tree of life.

To be honest, Fu Yan originally planned to continue to hone and improve her strength. Whether it was for Bai Yueli or herself, she must break through the shackles and shackles of the heavenly way. That's why she was naturally going to continue to practice on the mainland. .

The boundless primeval forest is also in her plan.

Thinking about it this way, helping Chu Lingling find the Life Fruit, whether successful or not, is just a incidental matter, and it won't be too difficult, or a waste of energy for no reason.

"There is no deadline." Chu Lingling said again with a slight expression.

So, the matter was settled like this.

It seemed that because she knew that Fu Yan and Bai Yueli were going to the virgin forest, Chu Lingling specially gave them a very rich resource, and Fu Yan didn't hold back, and took them one by one.

After all, if you really go to the primeval forest, there is no certainty about what you can do to get out. Although the resources in the forest are extremely rich, you still need to maintain sufficient wealth at all times.

Soon, Fu Yan and Bai Yueli finally walked out of Shenshu Palace.

At the beginning, Fu Yan wanted to go to the Demon Realm first, and ask the Demon Lord to help protect Bai Yueli's dharma, so that she could survive the catastrophe smoothly, but thinking of the unpredictable nature, Fu Yan still gave up.

In the absence of a foolproof situation, Fu Yan still didn't want Bai Yueli to take risks.

If Bai Yueli suffered any injuries because of this, Fu Yan felt that she couldn't bear it.

Bai Yueli herself took it very seriously, and didn't pay much attention to this matter. After all, her current strength is also not to be underestimated, and she is considered one of the best existences on the mainland. While protecting herself, she can still help Fu Yan.

It is really not very important to survive or not, and it will not have much impact.

……

After leaving Shenshu Palace, Fu Yan and Bai Yueli returned to Shuanghua Palace again.

However, Lu Xiaowen listened to Fu Yan's words, during this period, he did not easily choose to cross the catastrophe, and now he continues to live a leisurely life on his own Wenzhi Peak, and it seems that he has not been greatly affected.

In the past ten years, all kinds of immortal cultivators have more or less problems in crossing the catastrophe.

This news has finally begun to spread among the major immortal cultivators. In a short period of time, several immortals have failed to pass the tribulation one after another. No matter how slow-witted people are, they finally realized that something was wrong.

However, what is the reason, but no one can give an answer.

For a while, this matter could not help sparking heated discussions among the crowd.

In this regard, Fu Yan listened to it and let it go. After all, only when the cultivators themselves have a sense of crisis, will the next tribulation attract everyone's attention, so that they will not proceed blindly.

It can be said that today's Tongxuan Continent is shrouded in a layer of darkness.

In Shuanghua Palace, Fu Yan and Bai Yueli continued to live a carefree life for another year. Sometimes they gave advice to their disciples, and sometimes they practiced together. It didn't seem like people outside were in panic, but the two of them were extraordinarily peaceful.

However, after only one year of cultivation, the two embarked on a journey of training around again.

woohoo-

In the clear blue sky, a spirit ship quickly crossed the sky, and disappeared through a layer of clouds in the blink of an eye, leaving only a long flight path.

On the spirit boat, it was Fu Yan and Bai Yueli who came from the Southern Region.

"Chirp..."

A snow-white figure landed on the table, quietly put away his little wings, then raised his eyes and stared at Fu Yan who was beside him with sparkling eyes.

Seeing this, Fu Yan could only sigh helplessly, then reached out and took out a elixir and threw it over. Xiaoyaotuanzi immediately caught it excitedly, ran to the side very wisely, and ate freely, "Chirp... "

Some took the time to look away, and Fu Yan stopped paying attention to it.

When she raised her eyes, she happened to see Bai Yueli who was deep in thought on the opposite side. Fu Yan couldn't help but pause for a while, but she didn't make a sound to disturb her, instead she just watched her quietly.

It took a short while for Bai Yueli to recover from her own thoughts, and as soon as she moved slightly, her gaze met the gaze of the opposite party.

Realizing that Fu Yan had been staring at her so straightly, Bai Yueli suddenly felt a little unnatural, and said with erratic eyes, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at Senior Sister." Fu Yan replied honestly.

Bai Yueli "..."

"I'm wondering if the tree of life that Senior Chu mentioned actually exists on the mainland." Bai Yueli withdrew her mind and could only ignore the other party's joke, pretending to be calm and saying.

During the year in Shuanghua Palace, Bai Yueli searched many ancient books on purpose, but found nothing.

Fu Yan paused, as if she didn't expect that Bai Yueli was worried about this matter, but thinking that she was worrying about herself, she suddenly felt a tingling electric current flow through her heart.

Secretly slowing down, when Fu Yan spoke again, her voice returned to its usual usual level, "For Senior Chu, if she is willing to believe, then it exists."

Hearing this, Bai Yueli couldn't help being slightly startled, but then she understood again.

"I'm a little curious..." Fu Yan sat up straight, her eyes moved slightly, and the corners of her lips suddenly moved, and she continued, "What effect does this life fruit have? Why did Senior Chu search so hard for half a day?" continent."

If the life fruit could only improve strength, Chu Lingling would not be so persistent, let alone ask Fu Yan to help.

Hearing Fu Yan's doubts, Bai Yueli was also a little puzzled for a while, "If it's really for improving strength, there are indeed other better choices."

This point is indeed a bit strange.

Fu Yan originally mentioned it casually, but at the second when her voice fell, a figure suddenly flashed through her mind.

It was the phantom of Ye Xi in the secret realm of the test of the Lord of Shuanghua Palace.

It was Linglong Sword Master.

Thinking of this, Fu Yan in front of him couldn't help being stunned.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yueli asked subconsciously after seeing her, without thinking too much.

After the words fell, Fu Yan on the opposite side slowly came back to her senses, she shook her head helplessly, and then said calmly, "It's nothing, I just thought that there is only one person who can make Senior Chu obsessed."

Although Bai Yueli didn't know Chu Lingling well, but Fu Yan had told her about Ye Xi before, so after hearing this, she naturally realized for a while.

For a while, both of them were a little silent and did not continue talking.

……

Time flies by, but it's just a snap of the fingers, and half a month has passed.

And Fu Yan and Bai Yueli's spirit ship finally passed through the territory of the Eastern Region, and continued to quickly plunder in the direction of the northern primeval forest. The weather was just right this day, and the warm sunshine was shining all over the place.

Fu Yan's figure slowly stepped out of the boat, and the huge forest stretched as far as the eye could see.

It took only a moment, but a somewhat familiar scene suddenly broke into the sight of the two of them. Fu Yan and Bai Yueli on the boat couldn't help but look up.

In a deep forest not far ahead, a slightly collapsed mountain peak stood beside it.

This is where the Land of Dragon's Habitat appeared decades ago.

Looking deeply at the deep forest, Fu Yan couldn't help but smiled and said in detail, "I don't know what has happened to Wujuan in the dragon's habitat these years, she is a purebred black dragon, and she will definitely attract the attention of the dragon clan. "

"Chirp??"

As soon as Fu Yan finished speaking, Xiaoyaotuanzi flew over from behind, staring at her with blinking eyes.

Fu Yan paused, then realized something, couldn't help laughing out loud, and while stretching out his hand to smooth the snow-white figure's hair, he said slowly, "It's rare that you still remember the name of the scroll, and it's not in vain for her to treat you took good care of."

According to Xiaoyaotuanzi's heartless mind, Fu Yan thought that decades had passed, and it had long since forgotten the scroll.

Now, after hearing Fu Yan casually mentioning the name, it flew over with flapping wings.

Bai Yueli at the side also showed a slight smile when she saw her, then reached out and touched Xiao Yaotuanzi's head, and said, "It seems that we, Xiaotuanzi, miss you a little bit."

"Jiujiu..." Xiaoyaotuanzi yelled softly, but she didn't know what she was expressing.

Before Wujuan entered the land of dragon's habitat, Bai Yueli deliberately broke the relationship between the two of them. Now she naturally can't feel the other party's breath, so they have no way of knowing how Wujuan is doing now.

However, I think everything will be fine.

It's just that it's hard to say whether the Dragon Clan will let Jujuan reappear. After all, they should have expected it in the current world.

Thinking of this, Bai Yueli didn't say much, she just stretched out her hand and touched the little medicine dumpling quietly, as if to comfort her.

"Whoa--"

The spirit ship in the air did not stop, but sailed straight past the peak of the dragon's habitat, and quickly swept towards the real primeval forest ahead.

After another month, the two finally entered the primeval forest.

It's strange to say that there seems to be a strange magnetic field here, and ordinary spirit ships cannot fly over the forest, so Fu Yan took the opportunity to take back the spirit ship, and walked into the deep forest with Bai Yueli.

The Primeval Forest is currently the largest and most mysterious place in the entire Tongxuan Continent. Its area is probably as large as the four major domains combined, and there are many resources and opportunities hidden in it.

Of course, danger also coexists with it.

Basically, those who dare to enter the primeval forest are at least at the peak of the Mahayana stage.

After falling into the deep forest, Fu Yan changed hands and took Xiaoyaotuanzi back. After all, if she encountered any danger later, she might not care about Xiaotuanzi's figure.

The huge deep forest is very quiet, and it is surrounded by all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and uneven trees stand on every piece of soil.

It seems that every flower and plant adds a bit of mystery to this place.

"There will be accidents here at any time, so be careful." After Bai Yueli stabilized her body, she couldn't help but quickly looked around, and then told Fu Yan who was beside her.

Fu Yan nodded naturally, and responded "Yeah."

After finishing speaking, Fu Yan immediately released her mental power to cover the surroundings, and then took the lead to walk forward. When Bai Yueli saw her, she didn't follow closely, instead she purposely dropped a few steps away.

Soon, the figures of the two slowly shuttled through the large forest.

"Shh!"

The next moment, I saw Fu Yan's eyes froze in front of me, and a sword blade shot out of nowhere, and cut off the head of a highly poisonous chameleon without any mistakes.

Don't look at the small poisonous lizards, if they are accidentally bitten, even if they are immortal, it will be very troublesome.

Fortunately, Fu Yan has a strong mental power, otherwise it would be difficult to detect their disguise.

Just as the two stepped over the poisonous lizard's corpse and continued to walk forward, a flower that looked like an ordinary flower beside it slowly approached the corpse, and then began to cannibalize.

In the primeval forest, every plant and tree is a hidden danger.

After traveling for half a day, Fu Yan frowned slightly, and said, "Senior Sister, have you noticed that we haven't seen any large monsters along the way?"

This is indeed very strange in the primeval forest where there are hordes of monsters and beasts.

While speaking, Bai Yueli suddenly raised her eyes to look forward, and said after a long while, "There really seems to be something wrong here."

I saw a huge tree not far ahead, soaring into the sky, but what is strange is that there is no other big tree in its radius of tens of miles, as if the trees in the deep forest avoid it. Not as good as average.

Seeing Fu Yan, she paused for a while.

"rustle……"

In an instant, there was a sudden crackling sound from all around.
