When the private plane landed at the Beijing Airport, Zhang Xiao took the car driven by Yuan Min who came to pick him up and headed towards the courtyard. He couldn't wait to see if the parchment could trigger a reaction from the Tree of Life.

The parchment was placed in Zhang Xiao's study room in the courtyard. Zhang Xiao had opened it countless times and studied it carefully, but he had never figured out the true meaning of the contents. But this time when he picked up the parchment again, something unexpected happened.

reaction.

"I found the bark of Jianmu, do you want to absorb it?" The voice of the Tree of Life sounded in Zhang Xiao's mind.

"Jianmu bark?" Zhang Xiao couldn't help being surprised. He always thought it was a parchment scroll, but he didn't expect it to be Jianmu bark.

You must know that Jianmu, as a legendary sacred tree, has countless legends throughout the ages. Zhang Xiao has also seen many records about Jianmu.

The legendary building tree is born in the heaven and earth, is hundreds of feet high, and is connected to the sky by the gods.

Legend has it that Jianmu is a bridge that communicates between heaven, earth, humans and gods. Emperors such as Fuxi and Huangdi used this sacred ladder to travel up and down between the human world and heaven.

Moreover, on the bronze sacred tree unearthed in Sanxingdui, Guanghan, there are branches and leaves, flowers, fruits, birds, beasts, hanging dragons, divine bells, etc. Some archaeological experts believe that the prototype of this sacred tree may be Jianmu.

The earliest record of building wood is in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Hai Nei Nan Jing", which writes: "There is a tree, its shape is like an ox, its lead has skin, like a tassel, a yellow snake. Its leaves are like Luo, but in fact it is like a tree.

Luan, its wood is like a thorn, and its name is Jianmu."

In "The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Hai Nei Jing", there are also records of building trees. The article says: "There is a tree with green leaves and purple stems, black flowers and yellow fruits, a hundred branches without branches, nine trees under it, and nine cobalt trees underneath. In fact,

Like hemp, its leaves are like awns. The great beauty has passed, and it was the work of the Yellow Emperor."

But Zhang Xiao never imagined that the 'parchment scroll' in his hand would be related to Jianmu. He knew very well that the Tree of Life would not lie to him, because it was meaningless.

But he was a little hesitant about whether to let the Tree of Life absorb the bark of the building tree. After all, the above set of exercises might have been practiced by the ancient people, and he was a little reluctant to part with it.

Perhaps sensing Zhang Xiao's inner thoughts, the voice of the Tree of Life rang again: "You discovered the Nayuan Jue, do you want to learn it?"

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but feel happy. For the first time, he felt the humanity of the Tree of Life. This was something that the Tree of Life had never shown before.

"Study!" Zhang Xiao said immediately.

As soon as Zhang Xiao finished speaking, a scripture suddenly appeared in Zhang Xiao's mind. It seemed to have existed somewhere for a long time, just waiting for Zhang Xiao to look it up. However, the content was completely different from what Zhang Xiao had translated before.

The name is Nayuan Jue, which is exactly the same as Zhang Xiao’s previous guess. This ‘sheepskin scroll’ is the source of Nayuan Jue.

"Introduce the yuan into the body, and use the yuan for one's own use..."

As the scriptures emerged in Zhang Xiao's mind, a diagram of the circulation of tendons also appeared. Zhang Xiao suddenly became excited. It was indeed the tree of life. Not only did he translate the contents on the 'Parchment Scroll',

The complete Nayuan Jue was also restored. It is obvious that this 'Parchment Scroll' is not complete, but only a part.

According to the content of Na Yuan Jue, Zhang Xiao seems to have seen the power of the ancient ancestors. No wonder so many people are so interested in the ancient people's cultivation methods.

Just when Zhang Xiao was excited, the voice of the Tree of Life sounded again: "I found Jianmu bark, do you want to absorb it?"

Although the sound of the Tree of Life was still exactly the same, Zhang Xiao still felt its eagerness. It seemed that the bark of this building tree was extremely important to him!

"What good does it do to me if you absorb Jianmu bark?" Zhang Xiao couldn't help but think so, but it wasn't that he didn't ask, it was just a subconscious thought.

"Jianmu Bark, after absorbing it, I can absorb the vitality in the space and use it for you!" The Tree of Life actually responded to Zhang Xiao's words this time.

The response of the Tree of Life surprised Zhang Xiao. After all, he knew that the Tree of Life was intelligent, otherwise he would not have spoken. However, the Tree of Life could actually communicate, which Zhang Xiao had never thought of.

"Back then, I was still very weak and couldn't sense many thoughts of the symbionts." The voice of the Tree of Life became more anthropomorphic, and it seemed that as time went by, the communication would become smoother and smoother.

"You want to build tree bark, what benefits can you give me?" Zhang Xiao was even more determined. If the Tree of Life wants to absorb any items, it must discuss it with itself instead of acting on its own. There are obviously limitations.

"I absorb Jianmu bark, and I can draw the vitality of heaven and earth from this space for your use. Otherwise, you won't be able to practice it even if you have the Nayuan Art." The Tree of Life said somewhat eagerly.

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but roll his eyes. He didn't believe what the Tree of Life said. He always felt that the Tree of Life was hiding something from him, otherwise he wouldn't be so eager to absorb Jianmu's bark.

Moreover, the three headaches I had in the past must have been caused by the Tree of Life. It was also the Tree of Life’s plan to guide me into the path of cultivation. Otherwise, why would it be such a coincidence? And had the vitality value stored in the Tree of Life been too early?

The light was absorbed by the Tree of Life, leaving only one data for myself.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but said harshly: "What on earth is going on with you? And tell me clearly about the vitality value. Otherwise, don't think about this piece of building wood bark, and I won't provide it in the future."

Give you vitality for you to absorb!"

"You can't do this. We have a symbiotic relationship. If I'm strong, you will naturally become stronger. And without me, you can't absorb the thin vitality in this space." The Tree of Life said anxiously, because he could hear Zhang Zhang.

The meaning behind Xiao's words was that although Zhang Xiao might be trying to scare him, he didn't want to bet and didn't dare to bet, especially since Zhang Xiao controlled his way of absorbing Yuan Energy.

"First explain your origin clearly, and then tell us what the relationship between us is." What Zhang Xiao wants to find out most now is the origin of the Tree of Life, and why he was reborn, and he was reborn with the Tree of Life.

The Tree of Life couldn't help but be a little silent, because he knew that once the reason was revealed, Zhang Xiao's current values ​​would be completely broken, but Zhang Xiao's determination still made him feel helpless. After all, the relationship between Zhang Xiao and him was not symbiotic.

It's so simple. In the final analysis, he still needs Zhang Xiao's cooperation to grow, and the stronger Zhang Xiao is, the more benefits it will bring to him.

This is also the main reason why the Tree of Life has been guiding Zhang Xiao in his cultivation, but now as Zhang Xiao discovers anomalies, the relationship between the two is bound to change, which is something the Tree of Life does not want to see.

As an intelligent life, Tree of Life is very aware of human greed, and he cannot guarantee that Zhang Xiao will still follow his guidance after obtaining his secret.

At this moment, Zhang Xiao seemed to understand that the Tree of Life had become one with him. The reason why he could be reborn seemed to have a lot to do with the origin of the Tree of Life.

However, Zhang Xiao also knows that the stronger the Tree of Life, the more benefits he will get, but this is not the result Zhang Xiao wants. He wants to take the initiative, and the bargaining chip is that he controls the Tree of Life to absorb energy.

channel, which means that if the Tree of Life wants to absorb energy, it must obtain his consent, otherwise it will not be able to absorb energy.

Time passed slowly, and Zhang Xiao did not rush. He knew that whoever spoke first now would inevitably be at a disadvantage. He could not compromise at this moment and could only take the initiative as much as possible.

"Okay, I'll tell you about my origin, but I told you that you will let me absorb Jianmu bark in the future." In the end, it was the Tree of Life who spoke first, because from a status perspective, Zhang Xiao had the upper hand.

of.

Zhang Xiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the Tree of Life would not speak for a long time. In that case, he would be the one who fell into passivity.

"No problem, I can't absorb it anyway. After you tell me what you want to know, I will let you absorb Jianmu bark." After Zhang Xiao thought for a while, he expressed his position. For Zhang Xiao now, Jianmu bark

The bark is really useless. After all, he has already obtained Nayuan Jue, so the carrier is not that important.

"I was originally the Divine Tree of Life in the central world. I could bear the fruit of life to make people live longer, and this was also the main reason why I was destroyed." The Tree of Life began to talk about his origins, and

The reason why he came to earth.

It turns out that the Tree of Life is a sacred tree in the central world. It is a unique existence. It took hundreds of millions of years of growth to unlock wisdom, but each of the fruits of life it produces can extend a person's life by 50,000 years.

His lifespan is therefore coveted by martial arts practitioners.

After all, longevity is the ultimate pursuit of countless lives. Even powerful cultivators have to face the end of their lifespan, so the fruit of life has become the pursuit of everyone.

Because of this, the Tree of Life was besieged by countless people. Even though he was not weaker than those powerful practitioners, he could not withstand the siege of these practitioners. In the end, he was destroyed, and his core heart of life also took advantage of the chaos to escape.

came out, and finally came to the earth, the edge of the universe. When he woke up again, it happened to be the moment of Zhang Xiao's death. At this time, Zhang Xiao had already completed the bloody recognition of the master, which forced the Tree of Life to use the remaining

The power opens the space-time channel and sends Zhang Xiao back to the past.

And this was the main reason why Zhang Xiao was able to be reborn. Afterwards, he spent countless efforts to get Zhang Xiao to start practicing, but found that it was not that Zhang Xiao didn't want to practice, but that there was no way to practice in this world, and after all, he himself

It was a tree, and there was no way to practice it. It wasn't until he met the 'Parchment' that he saw hope.

Because the material of the 'Parchment Scroll' is actually the bark of Jianmu tree, you must know that this is a very rare divine object, and the exercises recorded on it are from the same origin as those learned by the Tree of Life.

This is also the main reason why he can complete the Nayuan Jue.

"Are you from the Central World? Are the creatures there mainly based on cultivation?" Zhang Xiao couldn't help but ask.

"How is it possible? After all, there are only a few creatures that can cultivate successfully. Although all creatures can cultivate, the speed of cultivation of each creature is very different due to their physical constitution. Creatures that cultivate quickly can become stronger and even grow longer quickly.

The prosperity never wanes, when most living things are extremely slow to cultivate, and under such circumstances, how many people are willing to pursue such illusory things throughout their lives." The Tree of Life couldn't help but sneer, feeling amused by Zhang Xiao's ignorance.

"What is their world like?" Zhang Xiao was full of curiosity deep in his heart, and he believed that the Tree of Life could give him the answer.

"The end of science is theology, and the level of civilization is divided according to the life span of intelligent life, and nothing else." The tree of life couldn't help but be a little proud. After all, he has lived for hundreds of millions of years. This is

The top civilized individual in the universe.

Zhang Xiao was very shocked, because he thought that the level of civilization was related to the level of science and technology, but he did not expect that the level of civilization was related to the length of life. However, after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Xiao felt that this was understandable, even if it was a

As long as a pig can live for hundreds of millions of years, he can become the most powerful being.

Just like the tree of life, although he lived for hundreds of millions of years before opening his spiritual wisdom, he has experienced countless years of ups and downs and witnessed the rise and decline of countless civilizations. His knowledge reserve is unparalleled. This is

The advantage of the Tree of Life.

"Tell me more about the classification of civilization levels in the universe." Zhang Xiao said with some curiosity. After all, this is something that everyone cares about very much. He wants to see what level the earth's civilization belongs to and what level it belongs to in the universe.

"Zhang Xiao, have you forgotten something?" Tree of Life said excitedly.

"What happened?" Zhang Xiao asked with some confusion. After all, he didn't remember what happened to him.

"Jianmu bark! Didn't you say that you want me to absorb the Jianmu bark? Let me absorb it quickly. Only after I absorb it can I give you more help!" The Tree of Life seemed to be sure.

It caught Zhang Xiao's pulse. When Zhang Xiao wanted to obtain knowledge, he couldn't help but make his own request.

Zhang Xiao suddenly said helplessly: "You haven't told me everything I want to know, so why are you absorbing Jianmu bark now? Aren't you going back on your word?"

"And this is Jianmu bark, the bark of the number one sacred tree in the universe. It doesn't have any magical effects. I wonder if it would be more cost-effective to refine it and make it into armor."

The Tree of Life suddenly became anxious. You must know that Jianmu has disappeared. Some people say that it was cut down, but this is simply ridiculous in the eyes of the Tree of Life. You must know that this is Jianmu, how can it be hurt by ordinary people?

, and the Tree of Life is very clear that this piece of Jianmu bark is the old peeled bark of Jianmu. Although it is unknown how it fell into Zhang Xiao's hands, its value is immeasurable.
