Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 242 The Meeting of Two Generations of Immortal Trees

The Undying Kingdom underwent a strange change; terrifying dust waves, like a sandstorm, blotted out the sky.

The killing formations on the ground were triggered by the dust waves and erupted.

Ancient killing formations have revived, swords flash, wind and rain rage, and all sorts of calamities descend, as if it were the end of the world.

There was no disaster around Li Changsheng; all the attacks avoided him.

The altar shone brightly, and endless resentment emanated from the image of the trees reflected in it.

The figures of devout worshippers turned into darkness at this moment, their expressions crazed, their eyes bloodshot, filled with hatred for the world and for everything.

A strange sense of sorrow welled up in Li Changsheng's heart.

Li Changsheng lightly flicked his fingertips, the tremor in his heart making his soul and body tremble.

In the void, a dark shadow appeared, silently watching him.

The shadowy figure's eyes were bloodshot, filled with resentment and hatred, but only towards him did it show a trace of kindness and respect.

"The Undying Citizen." Li Changsheng stared blankly at the shadowy figure, already understanding its identity.

The citizens of the Immortal Kingdom are believers in the Immortal Tree.

They have long since perished; now they are merely embodiments of resentment and hatred.

The shadowy figure looked at him, waved, and then turned and disappeared into the void.

In the void, an invisible passage appeared, waiting for him to enter.

Li Changsheng hesitated for a moment, then transformed into a stream of light and entered the void passage.

An external formation activated, and all cultivators were now enveloped within it.

With his unparalleled cultivation, the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor blocked the array's attack. No matter how the array was activated, it could not shake the Demon Emperor in the slightest.

The other Dao Integration experts each used their supernatural abilities and treasures to defend against the attacks.

"What exactly happened? Why did this change occur?"

"Could it be that the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor discovered something and triggered the restriction?"

Some cultivators speculated that the most likely explanation was that the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor, who was at the forefront, triggered the restrictions on the Undying Kingdom ruins.

Regardless of who triggered the restriction, the priority now is to resist the formation.

Inside the void passage, Li Changsheng followed the shadowy figure.

The shadowy figure traversed the void using the void passage, which was outside the formation.

If the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor and his group want to find the void passage, they must break through the formation.

The surroundings were pitch black, filled with endless resentment and hatred.

Li Changsheng followed the shadowy figure, not knowing how long he had traveled—perhaps a day, perhaps a month, or even longer.

A bright light appeared ahead, revealing a huge stone cave with various murals carved on its walls.

The shadowy figure arrived, its body transforming into tiny specks of light that vanished into the world.

Li Changsheng looked at the patterns on the cave wall, which recorded the events of that time.

The citizens of the Immortal Kingdom worship the Immortal Tree.

They built temples, worshipped the immortal tree, and provided it with incense offerings.

The immortal tree sheltered them, allowing them to survive in the wilderness.

Everything was peaceful, and life was happy and stable.

Until one day, the world was thrown into turmoil, and ancient immortals entered this world, wreaking havoc.

The people of the Immortal Kingdom ventured out of the Great Wilderness to confront the ancient immortals.

The Immortal Tree emerged from the Great Wilderness, clashed with ancient immortals, and slew a true immortal.

Li Changsheng stared at the pattern, deeply moved.

The previous generation of the Immortal Tree also embarked on the path of cultivation and even attained immortality!

Moreover, the Undying Tree must also be a true immortal to be able to slay a true immortal!

The next scene shows the Immortal Tree leading cultivators from all over the world to fight against the great calamity of heaven and earth.

They stormed into the starry sky, beheading more than one True Immortal and forcing a group of True Immortals to avoid approaching this world.

Could the great calamity of heaven and earth have been resolved by the Immortal Tree?

Li Changsheng continued reading, filled with doubt.

The Immortal Tree repelled the True Immortal, but was also seriously injured and returned to the Great Wilderness to heal.

Unexpectedly, the cultivator betrayed them!

They slaughtered the citizens of the Undying Kingdom, hoping to eat the Tree of Immortality and gain eternal life.

The severely injured Undying Tree was no match for them, and the citizens of the Undying Kingdom were massacred, with none surviving.

The immortal tree left behind their souls, and they were plunged into despair at that moment.

They hate all living beings; they hate this world.

Endless resentment eroded the Immortal Tree, and the severely damaged Immortal Tree also hated this world.

It was they who withstood the great calamity of heaven and earth; it was they who saved this world and a generation.

But those people turned their swords on the Undying Kingdom.

The people of the Undying Kingdom perished, their faith collapsed, and the power of the Undying Tree also plummeted.

Having lost its people, it has lost everything; the life force of the immortal tree is fading.

He chose to commit suicide, depriving everyone of the chance to live forever.

Before committing suicide, the Immortal Tree left the Great Wilderness and, with its own Great Dao, forcibly changed the destiny of its birth in the Great Wilderness.

This is why Li Changsheng came to this world and became the Immortal Tree, not in the Great Wilderness, but in a human sect.

The story of the Immortal Tree in the Great Wilderness has already spread far and wide; staying here would only mean waiting to die.

Li Changsheng silently read through the contents, feeling incredibly fortunate that he hadn't been exposed.

The world?

He's not that great!

The previous immortal tree was great, but what happened?

The kingdom of God collapsed, and none of its citizens escaped unscathed!

In the end, the great calamity of heaven and earth could not be resolved. When the great calamity struck again, all cultivators paid the price for their actions.

Li Changsheng wanted to go deep into the stone cave; that inner calling was right there inside the cave.

Deep inside the cave, there was a faint light.

A thick aura of resentment filled the interior of the cave.

After a moment's thought, Li Changsheng released the aura of the Undying Tree.

The resentment dissipated and had no effect on him, allowing him to enter the cave.

At the end of the cave, there is a wooden coffin made from the trunk of the immortal tree.

Unfortunately, the trunk of this immortal tree has little life left; it is filled with resentment.

Buzz

A beam of emerald light shone from inside the stone coffin, and a banyan tree emerged, its branches swaying.

"The previous Immortal Tree." Li Changsheng looked calmly at the Immortal Tree.

"Yes," the banyan tree replied calmly, as if it had come to terms with everything. "This is also the first time that two immortal trees have met."

Li Changsheng sighed softly, "One tree dies, one tree lives, generation after generation never to meet again. But this rule has been broken since the Immortal Tree gained sentience."

"The law of one tree dying and one tree living can never be broken."

The banyan tree trembled: "I died long ago, which is why you were born. The immortal tree is formed by gathering the life force of heaven and earth; it is a product of the Great Dao."

"You left behind a lingering remnant; is there anything you need to explain?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Even the immortal tree is weakening," the banyan tree said. "It took me tens of thousands of years to develop sentience and for my original spiritual power to be so immense that I was able to quickly become an immortal."

"After becoming an immortal, I glimpsed the laws of the Great Dao. The laws of immortality collapsed, and apart from the Tree of Immortality, there is no longer any immortality in the world."

"I know that the Great Dao has its flaws," Li Changsheng nodded.

"I have condensed the Law of Longevity, which was originally your Law Dao Fruit, only so that I can meet you."

The banyan tree said, "Remember, you must not expose yourself, otherwise, immortals, demons, monsters, and humans will all chase after you and devour you."

"I understand," Li Changsheng nodded.

"Live well. The Great Dao of Immortality has collapsed, and the other Great Daos are incomplete. If you die, it is uncertain whether a new Immortal Tree can be born again."

The banyan tree said, "Every death of a tree of immortality is a severe blow to the Great Dao of Immortality. If the Great Dao is flawless, the life and death of us immortal trees are nothing..."

Li Changsheng listened quietly. Now that the Great Dao is flawed, it is difficult to gather vitality again.

The power of the Law of Immortality is already insufficient, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to nurture a new Immortal Tree.

He may very well be the last generation of the immortal tree!

"Do you know why the Great Dao is flawed?" Li Changsheng asked.

"I don't know," the banyan tree said bitterly. "I also want to find out the reason, but this world doesn't give me the chance."

Li Changsheng lamented that the previous Immortal Tree was great; he came out of seclusion for the sake of the world.

He repelled the great calamity of heaven and earth, but was forced to his death by his own people.

How ironic!

"There are no more true immortals in the outside world now, but the great calamity of heaven and earth has still descended, and the entire world has been cleansed..."

Li Changsheng recounted.

The banyan tree sneered, "Serves them right, they deserved it! If they hadn't taken advantage of my serious injuries to enter, I could have easily dealt with those True Immortals once I recovered. They were too stupid; they deserved to be wiped out!"

"He certainly deserved it." Li Changsheng nodded and said, "If you had been able to resolve the great calamity of heaven and earth, I might not have had the chance to be born."

If the previous immortal tree doesn't die, a new immortal tree won't be born.

"Yes, without my death, you could not have been born." The banyan tree sighed and said, "The law of immortality is within the coffin, which also contains my legacy. Take it with you."

"What else is inside?" Li Changsheng asked. "Such resentment and hatred—has your legacy already undergone some change?"

"No, they still have reverence; they will not betray me."

The banyan tree said, "What is sealed inside are the people of the Undying Kingdom. I nurtured them with the Law of Longevity, and they will not be affected even after countless years."

"Once it's opened, will it release them?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Yes, they will kill everything except you," the banyan tree said. "After so many years of nurturing, they have long since transformed and now hate everything in this world."

Li Changsheng fell silent.

"You're hesitating. There are things in this era that you cherish," the banyan tree said.

"I have raised several disciples, and they have all become the strongest in this era, and the main force in resisting the great calamity of heaven and earth," Li Changsheng said truthfully.

"You still want to follow the same path as me? You risked everything to save this world, only to be met with their desperate attempts to kill you!" the banyan tree said coldly.

"It's different. Because of you, I have long since left the Great Wilderness and hidden in the human world, never revealing my identity."

Li Changsheng said, "Under the great calamity of heaven and earth, I am not exempt either. I need someone to fight against the calamity and buy me time."

"Time? You have plenty of time!"

"Yes, the one thing I have plenty of is time, but I want to live, to live through the great calamities of heaven and earth, to live through one era after another, in order to seek infinite power."

Li Changsheng said, "Unlike you, I did not accumulate spiritual power for tens of thousands of years, which gave birth to intelligence and led to cultivation. I could only accumulate it slowly."

The previous Immortal Tree had a completely winning start.

Unfortunately, they lost the match.

No one in the world could withstand the great calamity of heaven and earth, except for the Immortal Tree, which swept across the starry sky and beheaded many true immortals.

It can be said that the Tree of Immortality was invincible back then!

However, he has a fatal weakness: the support of his family and friends!

He follows the path of incense offerings; if the incense offerings collapse, the cultivation level of the Immortal Tree will also rapidly decline and be greatly reduced.

So, he lost!

He couldn't possibly fight against the great calamity of heaven and earth; he didn't have the ability.

He only thought that someone needed to fight against the great calamity of heaven and earth to give him a chance to live.

As it trembled, a sliver of emerald light flew out and entered Li Changsheng's body: "The Law of Longevity and its legacy are all yours. I hope you can truly live on."

"Where is the coffin?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Wait for cultivators from all over the world to open it," the banyan tree said. "Leave some of your life force intact, and I will make some arrangements so that they will feel that I have lived until now and have perished in this era."

"Thank you very much," Li Changsheng said, bowing.

"Go, erase all the information on the murals about the Immortal Tree not being in the Great Wilderness," said the banyan tree.

Li Changsheng spared the mural and erased it.

If the previous Immortal Tree did a good enough job, everyone would assume that the Immortal Tree simply died in this era.

They have no chance of immortality unless they wait for the next life!

However, the gestation of the immortal tree requires a very long time. Even if they searched for all the longevity-promoting elixirs, they could not possibly live to see the birth of the next generation of immortal trees.

Li Changsheng left, taking with him the Law of Immortality and the remnants of the Immortal Tree, departing from the ruins of the Immortal Kingdom.

Within the Undying Kingdom, all cultivators were trapped in a great formation.

Some have already perished, while others are still struggling to resist the formation.

Li Changsheng ignored them and felt no pity whatsoever; these people were all here to eat him!

He planned to leave the Immortal Kingdom and the Great Wilderness to go into seclusion in the Great Snow Mountain.

bang

The moment he left the Undying Kingdom, a tremendous tremor resounded once again from the depths of the kingdom.

The ancient voice rang out once more:

"In the vast wilderness, a divine being descended upon Yuanqiu, immortal and ageless, roaming with the three celestial bodies..."

"...The sun, moon, and stars, revolving in unison, the three lights converging, forever together..."

"...Undisputed by the netherworld, untouched by the laws of Heaven, eternally unchanged, unique throughout eternity..."

Ancient divine sounds resounded, and boundless golden light shone above the Immortal Kingdom, as a magnificent divine kingdom descended upon the world.

A gigantic banyan tree stood tall, reaching for the sky. Beneath it lay a crimson spring, its terrifying vitality permeating the entire divine kingdom.

Countless immortal citizens devoutly worship within the divine realm.

"The Immortal Tree!"

"The Kingdom of the Immortal!"

"The Tree of Immortality has appeared! Seize the Tree of Immortality and step into eternal life!"

One by one, the cultivators gazed intently at the dazzling divine kingdom, at the banyan tree—the very tree of immortality they had been so desperately seeking!

Beneath the Tree of Immortality, the Crimson Spring remains eternally young!

All the cultivators went mad. Nothing, not even the Great Dao Integration Formation or the Ascension Killing Formation, could stop their yearning for the Immortal Tree.

Eat a leaf, drink a mouthful of red spring water, and you'll live forever!

At this moment, powerful auras descended from the void, surpassing heaven and earth, supreme and unparalleled.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor's expression turned ugly; this aura—it was celestial!

The carefree immortals eventually descended, and even they couldn't resist the temptation.

Li Changsheng, who was far away, sensed this scene and felt a chill run down his spine.
