Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

Li Chuanhe stood in front of the dilapidated building, looking up at the dark clouds in the sky with a frown on his face.

Almost all of the more than 200 monks who had just entered the small world escaped, claiming that the small world was about to collapse.

As for those Demonic Sect monks who escaped, they were controlled by them as soon as they came out. After torture, they still didn't understand what changes had happened in the small world, and their wording was similar to what other monks said.

"Why haven't Yin You and the others come out yet?"

In the Liu family camp, Liu Ningshuang looked towards the direction of the building, feeling a little worried.

All the disciples of the Liu family returned safely, but she had not seen Yin You and the other two for a long time.

If it had happened before, it would have been fine. As disciples of Xuelingxu, Yin You and the other two must have a lot of life-saving items on them. But was the sudden heavenly calamity at this time related to the turmoil in the small world just now?

Such a powerful heavenly tribulation can only be triggered by cultivators who have passed the ninth level of tribulation or above. However, there haven't been any cultivators of the ninth level entering Huacheng recently. In addition, the Taoist Alliance has long stipulated that it is not allowed to undergo the tribulation in places where a large number of mortals gather, such as cities. Otherwise, they will be treated as cultivators of the Demon Sect.

Who is so bold as to ignore the laws of the Taoist Alliance?

"Who is going through the tribulation?"

"Where is the person who has survived the tribulation?"

Not only Li Chuanhe, many cultivators were guessing who the person who was undergoing the tribulation was. However, no matter how they investigated, they could not sense the breath of any cultivator in the tribulation cloud. They only vaguely felt that the heavenly tribulation seemed to be enraged, and its momentum became more and more terrifying.

Chapter 32: Searching for Wood

Suddenly, a dark green figure flew out from the old building and rushed into the calamity cloud at lightning speed.

Rumble…

The long-accumulated heavenly calamity seemed to have finally found a target to vent its anger on, and thick purple lightning bolts kept striking the dark green figure.

All the cultivators in Huacheng looked up, and saw a dark green figure standing proudly in the sky amidst the dark clouds, heavy rain, and thunder. No matter how the thunder struck, it remained as still as a mountain, without any sign of weakness.

"This... this is the Ascension Thunder Tribulation!"

Li Chuanhe looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky, his face full of shock and fear. He shuddered subconsciously and shouted loudly: "Quick! Activate the city defense formation!!"

The Taoist Alliance member who had been standing there in shock finally came to his senses and quickly activated the city defense formation.

In an instant, a ray of emerald green light emerged, enveloping the Flower City.

Even so, there were still a lot of overflowing thunder and lightning that broke out of the calamity clouds and struck the city's defense formation.

This city defense formation, which was set up for Huacheng by the Taoist Alliance's Nine-Turn Formation Master, was said to be able to withstand the attacks of Ninth-Realm cultivators for several hours. However, it was now shaking constantly under the heavenly calamity, and it seemed that it could shatter at any time.

"hateful."

Li Chuanhe and other Huacheng cultivators could only stand on the ground, watching the mysterious cultivator in the sky undergoing the tribulation, and watching the city defense formation tremble more and more, approaching the brink of collapse.

"Hahahahaha."

In the sky, Yin Xingsheng's loud laughter could be heard: "Is this the extent of the Ascension Tribulation?"

The heavenly tribulation was enraged by him and its attack became even more violent.

"boom!"

Among the thousands of purple thunders, there was a thin thunder that was purple to black, and it struck Yin Xingsheng's right arm fiercely.

"what!"

Yin Xingsheng suddenly screamed and his face turned pale instantly.

He lowered his head and looked at his bloody right arm, on which there was a charred scar so deep that the bone was visible.

he got hurt!

This was the first time that Yin Xingsheng had been injured since he had overcome the tribulation, and it was a serious injury that almost split his right arm in two!

Yin Xingsheng's face no longer had the leisurely and confident look it had just now, instead it became gloomy.

But no matter how careful and serious he was, he would still be struck by the purple-black lightning hidden among the thousands of lightnings from time to time. Soon his whole body would be charred, and he was seriously injured and on the verge of death.

"Cough cough cough..."

Yin Xingsheng's expression became even more excited and crazy, and he shouted: "Holy Vine Return!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark green light suddenly appeared around him, enveloping him.

The next moment, the light faded and Yin Xingsheng's figure appeared again.

All the injuries on his body disappeared at this moment, his aura was strong, his spiritual power was surging, and he returned to his peak period.

"Come on, come on, let's fight again!"

He continued to fight against the heavenly tribulation. Although the purple-black lightning tribulation could still burn him to a crisp, every time he was injured, a dark green light would emanate from his body and cover the wound. The next moment, the light would dissipate and the injury would disappear without a trace.

Over time, the attack of the heavenly calamity gradually slowed down.

Yin Xingsheng was still full of energy and spirit. When he was about to speak again, his expression suddenly changed. He looked in the direction of the old building and shouted in surprise:

"Who are you, little thief!"

The next moment, he turned around and rushed towards Huacheng, regardless of the heavenly tribulation that was about to end. With a casual blow, he shattered Huacheng's city defense formation and flew into the small world in an instant.

……

Let's slowly pull back the timeline.

When Yin Xingsheng passed the tribulation and left, only Yin You, Zhu Yingqiu and Xue Qingyou were left in the entire small world.

After Yin You heard from his master that the alliance reinforcements were on the way, he felt relieved and prepared to leave this small world with his two nephews.

"Junior..."

A faint sound was heard.

Yin You stopped and looked around, but didn't see anyone. He looked at his two nephews and asked, "Did you hear any sound?"

Zhu Yingqiu and Xue Qingyou both shook their heads.

Yin You thought it was just an illusion, but just after taking a few steps, he heard the voice again: "Youngster..."

The sound became clearer and clearer. Yin You turned around and his eyes suddenly fixed on the towering tree.

"You are... Xunmu?"

An idea flashed through Yin You's mind, and he asked tentatively in his heart.

"Xunmu...well, I am Xunmu." The voice sounded in Yin You's heart, and at the same time, an extremely pure wood spiritual energy emerged faintly.

"Aren't you still sleeping?" Yin You was shocked after hearing it admit it personally and sensing the extremely pure wood spiritual energy.

Yin Xingsheng had said before that Xunmu's consciousness had already fallen into the eternal dream. What was the eternal dream? It was the final resting place of the soul. Once you fell into the eternal dream, it was equivalent to being dead!

Yin Xingsheng was a cultivator who had ascended to the tenth realm, so Yin You didn’t think that he couldn’t see Xunmu’s condition at that time.

But at this moment, Xunmu's consciousness suddenly woke up and was still communicating with him. How could he not be shocked?

"Let's not talk about these minor details for now," the voice seemed to have sensed what he was thinking, and said slowly: "I already know the cause and effect of this matter. Yin Xingsheng borrowed my body to cultivate the 'Holy Vine', which is equivalent to having a part of the original characteristics of my body. He can absorb the essence of my body at will, so he can treat the heavenly tribulation as nothing."

“If he were to survive the heavenly tribulation and find that his path to ascension was destroyed, his mind would surely collapse, he would go astray and become a great calamity that endangers the world.”

Yin You nodded quickly: "I thought so too, I have already informed the alliance, and reinforcements are on the way now."

The voice said calmly: "This move is too unstable. Yin Xingsheng may survive the catastrophe at any time and then discover the truth. By the time reinforcements arrive, Huacheng will probably have already turned into ruins."

Yin You understood that since Xun Mu had woken up at this time, he must have a way to deal with it, so he asked seriously: "Then according to your opinion, how can we break the deadlock?"

It smiled faintly and said, "It's very simple. You just need to eliminate this hidden danger."

Yin You was stunned when he heard this: "Junior...Junior?"

"Yes, it's you," the voice said calmly, "I can see that you have practiced the Five Internal Organs Divine Method, and the Wood Dao's rare treasures have not yet been refined. This is the opportunity to eliminate Yin Xingsheng."

When Yin You heard this, he had a vague guess in his mind: "Could it be that you want this junior to refine your true body?"

But unexpectedly, the voice immediately denied it: "No."

Before Yin You could feel disappointed, it said, "What you want to refine is another Xunmu tree."

"The second tree...Xunmu?" Yin You was a little confused.

Since ancient times, the four sacred trees are the only ones in the world and contain the unique laws of heaven and earth. How could there be a second sacred tree?

"I can sense that the essence of my body is being consumed crazily. Yin Xingsheng should be able to successfully overcome the tribulation soon." The voice did not give him time to answer, but quickly said, "Go to the tree quickly, and I will help you refine the wood."

Yin You knew that the matter was urgent, so he quickly walked to the tall tree that reached up to the sky, and asked himself, "What should I do?"

“Just reach out and touch the tree.”

The moment Yin You stretched out his hand to touch the trunk of the Xunmu tree, a green light shot up into the sky and enveloped him.

All of a sudden, all the trees in the small world seemed to smell the breath of the monarch, and they all bent their trunks slightly towards the Xunmu in the center of the small world, as if they were kneeling.

Chapter 33 Seriously Injured

Yin You was unaware of the changes in the outside world at this time. From the moment he touched Xunmu, his consciousness fell into darkness.

"Where is this?" he asked subconsciously.

"This is Xunmu's domain world."

A familiar voice came from the side. Yin You turned around and saw an old man in a green robe with white beard and eyebrows.

He has an ancient face, a gentle expression, a tall stature, and an extremely strong breath of life.

Yin You bowed and saluted: "Junior Yin You, greetings to Senior Xun Mu."

The green-robed old man waved his hand and looked in another direction: "That's the other Xun tree."

Yin You followed his gaze and saw a small tree rooted in the void, emitting a faint fluorescent light.

The green-robed old man smiled gently and said, "Go ahead and refine it into your Muzang God."

Yin You also knew that Yin Xingsheng might come at any time. Not to mention his personal safety, his two nephews were still outside!

He walked forward quickly, activated the Five Internal Organs Divine Power Method, and began to refine it.

Even the top-notch treasure of heaven and earth, such as the Arctic Dark Water, took Yin You nearly half a year to completely refine it, not to mention Xunmu, one of the four sacred trees that were born when the world was first created.

He had searched through all the ancient books but had never seen any record of a cultivator refining the four sacred trees!

Therefore, his refining process was almost as slow as a snail.

The old man in green robe was not surprised to see this. He raised one arm and injected the rich life force in his body into Yin You.

Yin You felt that the source of his life was increasing at an exaggerated speed. Not only that, his body, mind and soul were nourished by that huge life force.

The small tree "Xunmu" in front of him seemed to sense the familiar original breath from him, and actually responded to his Five Internal Organs Divine Method, and the refining speed instantly increased.

The old man in green robe kept one arm raised, continuously infusing the essence of life into Yin You.

The extremely rich life force in his body slowly dissipated, and even a hint of death was revealed behind it.

The green-robed old man didn't care at all. He just stroked his long beard with his other hand, with a smile on his face: "Three Taoist friends, I will go first."

With the support of the green-robed old man's life source, Yin You's speed of refining the wood became faster and faster, and endless insights into the way of wood flooded into his mind at the same time.

"You...you...are..."

Along with the endless understanding of the Way of Wood came a clear, childish, ethereal voice.

……

"Uncle Yin?"

When Zhu Yingqiu and Xue Qingyou saw Yin You suddenly stop, they also stopped. When they were about to ask him something, they saw him suddenly turn around and walk back.

Then the two saw Yin You reaching out to touch the Xunmu tree, and a green light shot up into the sky, and the surrounding trees bowed down in worship, which was a shocking scene.

The two men immediately knew that this was Yin You's opportunity, and they quickly walked to his side to protect him.

The green light was like a protective shield and did not resist Zhu Yingqiu and Xue Qingyou. The two of them walked into the green light easily.

"boom!"

Soon, a loud noise was heard. Zhu Yingqiu and the other person looked up and saw the sky crack open. A figure filled with dark green light walked out from the turbulence of the void.

Yin Xingsheng's eyes immediately looked towards where Xunmu was, and saw Zhu Yingqiu and the other person, and Yin You who was standing behind them with his hand outstretched to touch Xunmu.
