There are too many promising talents who failed to grow up, like a flock of birds crossing the river. Following Shi Yi, their future might be uncertain.
For the ginseng fruit tree, following a celestial king is the best choice.
"Senior, do you already have a plan? This is the last time the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm will be open. Before long, this secret realm will crack, and at that time, the restrictions that prevent cultivators from entering will no longer exist," Shi Yi asked.
"I've got it! I'll leave this world and find an opportunity to enter the Immortal Realm. There, I have an old acquaintance of Lord Heavenly Horned Ant, someone I can trust," the Ginseng Fruit Tree said frankly.
As an elixir of immortality, although it grants endless lifespan and prevents aging, it lacks combat power and only excels in escape techniques. Therefore, it needs the protection of a powerful figure and should seek refuge with the Immortal King of the Immortal Realm, which is understandable.
"It won't be long before this world falls into oblivion, all things wither, the era comes to an end, and everything returns to silence. Even if a new era begins, it will end in the same way."
"And this world will enter a terrifying end, even an immortal elixir like myself will be struck by the will of Heaven, my spirit will be clouded, my mind will be greatly diminished, and I will become muddled and confused." The ginseng fruit tree sighed and said this.
This is the result deduced by the immortals during the Immortal Ancient Era, and the facts are indeed moving in this direction.
All the immortal medicines in this world are aware of this and will try to escape to the immortal homeland where the immortal path is still flourishing. However, not all immortal medicines have this opportunity, after all, the immortal gate has long been closed.
"Senior, won't you consider a potential high-potential stock?" Shi Yi asked with a smile.
"You are stunning, one of the most stunning people I have ever seen. Those two wisps of immortal energy may not be your final destination, but those stunning beings are no more, buried in the ancient immortal realm." The ginseng fruit tree spoke with a hidden meaning.
Shi Yi knew that it was impossible to persuade this ancient tree of immortality to follow him with his talent alone. This ginseng fruit tree had lived for too long and had seen far too many extraordinary beings.
He sighed slightly.
The ginseng fruit tree thought that this young creature would give up and not persist.
Unexpectedly, Shi Yi not only did not give up, but also wanted to go further and confront it about the cause and effect.
"Explaining cause and effect?"
The ginseng fruit tree was somewhat bewildered. What kind of cause and effect could there be between itself and Shi Yi? As it had anticipated, once it left the Immortal Ancient Realm, it would find an opportunity to enter the Immortal Realm and seek refuge with the old friends of the Heavenly Horn Ant, where it would find some other longevity medicines.
There is absolutely no connection between them and Shi Yi.
However, when the sound of waves emanated from the forbidden sea of suffering above the Stone Yi Cave Heavenly Ring, the Ginseng Fruit Tree couldn't help but tremble.
This energy was so mysterious that even the chronology within its body hummed softly.
It realized that it had underestimated the young monk.
Above the forbidden sea of suffering, Shi Yi, with his spirit and energy, held the Ancient Lamp of Cause and Effect and began to chant a scripture. This scripture, born from the integration of the symbols of cause and effect into the Ancient Lamp of Cause and Effect and its return to the forbidden sea of suffering, could explain the cause and effect between two things.
Now, he uses this scripture to discuss the cause and effect between himself and the ginseng fruit tree, a cause and effect that is not limited by time and can extend from ancient times to the future.
What Shi Yi wanted to tell was the cause and effect between himself and the ginseng fruit tree in the years to come.
When it comes to the unpredictable future, this place immediately changes; mist rises from the void, creating a hazy atmosphere.
The ginseng fruit tree sensed a strange atmosphere. It turned solemn and listened intently to the Daoist sounds resounding in the void.
Symbols fell from the forbidden sea of suffering, arranging themselves in the void to form a scripture, which appeared before the ginseng fruit tree.
At the same time, the power of time and the power of destiny are also flowing out, resonating with the power of cause and effect.
The ginseng fruit tree listened intently, and in a daze, he seemed to see Shi Yi standing high in the heavens, looking down on the past and present.
After a long while, everything calmed down. The scriptures disappeared, and the power of time and destiny vanished into nothingness, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
The ginseng fruit tree remained silent for a moment, for it foresaw a future where Shi Yi would soar to great heights and ultimately become a legend.
If I were to follow Shi Yi, I might witness this miracle and become a part of it, perhaps even receiving unimaginable benefits that go beyond the scope of the elixir of immortality.
However, this is only a possibility, not a definitive conclusion.
"Senior, would you be willing to come with me? I can find you a place to live called 'All-Encompassing Soil'." At this moment, Shi Yi asked again.
The ginseng fruit tree was clearly hesitant. The future it had just seen was so beautiful that it was quite tempted and became indecisive.
"This future seems bright, but if something unexpected happens, it will all be just a mirage." It sighed, still wavering.
At this moment, Shi Yi spoke up and revealed a startling fact.
"Previously, when I was exploring an ancient immortal ruin, I ascended to an Ascension Platform and went to a strange world. There, I drank the immortal wine that symbolized an entire ancient immortal law. When I touched the wine pot, an immortal giant from another realm, sitting cross-legged for thousands of years, attacked me. But in the end, he failed and returned wounded."
This means that even if this era is incredibly dark and cruel, I still have one way to survive.
Upon hearing this, the ginseng fruit tree was moved.
It knew some of the contingency plans left to future generations by these ancient immortal eras, and Shi Yi's experience was one of them.
Thinking back to some of the things the Ten Fierce Horned Ants had said, the Ginseng Fruit Tree couldn't help but begin to believe everything Shi Yi had said.
After much hesitation, the ginseng fruit tree finally made up its mind to take a gamble and follow Shi Yi. At worst, it would lose all its intelligence and be reduced to ashes.
"Alright, I'll go with you," the ginseng fruit tree said, sighing as if this choice was a blessing or a curse.
Having obtained the answer he wanted, Shi Yi smiled. This was a complete elixir of immortality, and it was laden with fruit, its branches and leaves filled with ginseng fruits that looked like babies. Its value was immeasurable.
"One day in the future, the seniors will surely feel fortunate for the decisions they made today."
"I hope so," the ginseng fruit tree sighed softly.
"You can take these divine medicines and holy herbs as well. If it weren't for my protection, they would have followed in the footsteps of other great medicines long ago."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yi nodded. This was also a benefit, and he had no reason to refuse. Who would refuse a divine medicine given away for free?
Then, Shi Yi opened his own chaotic little world. The ginseng fruit tree did not hesitate. Its two trunks, like two arms, directly uprooted its roots and then stood upright, albeit in a somewhat comical posture, stepping into Shi Yi's little world.
Behind it, several divine herbs and dozens of sacred herbs followed the ginseng fruit tree into Shi Yi's chaotic little world.
There were so many good things here, all kinds of things, that even the ginseng fruit tree that had just entered was quite surprised.
"A Celestial Spring? There weren't many even in the Ancient Celestial Era, but this one is a bit incomplete."
A complete corpse of a true immortal?
It was amazed and sighed inwardly. No wonder Shi Yi was so extraordinary. With such profound luck and fortune, how many people in the world could have it?
Shi Yi took action, digging out the divine soil where the ginseng fruit tree was rooted and placing it into the Chaos Small World as the ginseng fruit tree's rooting place.
He promised to find the renowned Wanwu Soil for the ginseng fruit tree.
"This kind of soil is extremely rare, and it's basically all controlled by those supreme experts. However, it exists within the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm; it just depends on whether you have the fortune to possess it," the ginseng fruit tree said.
Shi Yi naturally knew that the "All Things Soil" it was referring to was located in two known places within the Immortal Ancient Realm. One was the rooting place of the second longevity medicine, the White Turtle Carrying Immortal, and the other was the place where the Blood of Transformation was buried in the original work.
At this time, he inquired about the whereabouts of the white tortoise carrying the immortal from the ginseng fruit tree.
"I've seen this creature before, but it was in the previous era. If I'm not mistaken, it should be locked up in a medicinal garden," the ginseng fruit tree revealed.
Then it continued, "Back then, the Celestial Kings left a contingency plan, laying out the Immortal Bud. The White Tortoise Carrying Immortal did not want to become part of the Celestial Kings' contingency plan, so it tried to sneak across, but it was discovered and was eventually locked up by chains made of celestial gold."
"I see," Shi Yi said, suddenly understanding.
Unfortunately, the Ginseng Fruit Tree was unaware of the layout inside the Immortal Ancient City, as the beings who built this place intentionally concealed it.
Shi Yi nodded. He was already very satisfied with the ginseng fruit tree, the Heavenly Horn Ant Treasure Technique, and many divine medicines, demigod fruits, and holy medicines. One should be content; it's impossible for him to encounter all good things.
Thus, Shi Yi's agreement with the Immortal was fulfilled. He had successfully persuaded the Ginseng Fruit Tree to follow him. According to the agreement, Shi Yi should leave the evil nest immediately and not interfere with the Immortal's net-closing.
So he immediately set off, following the path the immortal had shown him, heading out into the world.
At this very moment, the Ten Fiends' lair was in turmoil, with one deadly trap after another being activated, and chaotic sword energy crisscrossing, mercilessly reaping the lives of the cultivators.
Even the most powerful ancient freaks fell in resentment, unable to defeat him.
Only a few exceptionally powerful beings managed to escape the deadly trap thanks to their keen intuition and strength.
Among them were Shi Hao and Qin Hao, who were still shaken, having almost been tricked and made into sacrifices. This made them both furious and horrified.
Among those who escaped with them were the ancient freakish dragon girl, Chang Gongyan, and others.
However, they were not yet truly out of danger. Above the sky, a peerless immortal stood gracefully atop a volcano, a jade flute lying across his lips.
Under the blood moon, the banished immortal possessed an indescribable otherworldly grace, like a true celestial being descended to earth.
"A flute melody sends off the heroes."
The immortal spoke, his voice gentle, yet chilling to the bone.
The next moment, a flute melody flowed down from the heavens, and countless crystal petals fell from the sky, bringing with them screams and wails of the heroes.
"devil!"
Someone roared, their face filled with terror, and was ultimately chopped to pieces by the flower petals.
The immortal being wore a smile, while one after another, demons and gods crawled out of the volcano behind him. Above his head, black divine insects formed clouds that blotted out the sky and the sun. This terrifying scene formed a stark contrast with his immortal appearance.
He showed no mercy, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of cultivators, all for the sake of unlocking that pool of immortal blood.
At the same time, the Immortal also wanted to keep Shi Hao, Qin Hao, the Dragon Girl, Chang Gongyan, and others. However, after a chase, the Immortal gave up. These beings were extremely powerful, especially Shi Hao, who had already cultivated a wisp of immortal energy. He could not keep them just because he wanted to.
Finally, the immortal stopped the pursuit and bid farewell to Shi Hao and the others.
"Farewell, everyone." The immortal whispered, playing his flute once more. This time, the flute music was exceptionally gentle, fading into the distance under the moonlight.
"What a terrifying figure." The survivors were all filled with lingering fear. Even Shi Hao, who had cultivated a wisp of immortal energy, broke out in a cold sweat. If he had been caught in the Black God Insect Sea and the Ghost Demon God Swarm, even someone as powerful as him would have perished.
"Huh? Why didn't he come out? With his strength, it's impossible for him to be trapped inside and become someone else's stepping stone." Qin Hao glanced at the few remaining survivors around him, looking surprised and uncertain.
Chapter 259 Perfection
"Who are you referring to, fellow Daoist?"
The Dragon Girl, Chang Gongyan, and the others asked with puzzled expressions.
Qin Hao's solemn expression remained unchanged as he solemnly uttered a renowned title.
"The one with double pupils is Shi Yi. He entered the haunted house with us, but now we can't find him."
"A person with double pupils?"
Upon hearing this, Long Nu, Chang Gongyan, and the others were also startled, clearly aware of the formidable reputation of Shi Yi, the one with double pupils.
The stories of "the first being to cultivate immortal energy" and "the first person in the ancient immortal realm" have long been circulating in the ancient immortal realm.
"If they still haven't come out by now, then they really can't come out. Even if they cultivate immortal energy, it will be difficult to break through the endless sea of insects and demons." The dragon girl whispered.
"If the legendary number one person of the Immortal Ancient Era were to be schemed against and killed by that celestial being, it would definitely be a major event that shakes the entire Immortal Ancient Era," Chang Gongyan sighed.
At this moment, Shi Hao shook his head, turned around and looked at the terrifying scene at the Ten Fiends' lair, and said, "He won't perish in a place like this. You probably don't know, but he has already cultivated two strands of immortal energy and has double pupils to see through illusions. How could such a person be trapped in a killing trap?"
Shi Yi must still be alive, and he might even have gained more than we have.
As Shi Yi's nemesis, Shi Hao knew his cousin all too well. Thinking back carefully, when entering the three stone gates, Shi Yi stayed behind last. At that time, he might have seen some clues and avoided danger in advance.
At this moment, Shi Yi had already left the territory of the evil nest, but in the opposite direction from Shi Hao and the others.
This direction is a dead end for those who enter the game, so there is no trace of any living creatures.
Shi Yi took a step alone, purple ripples spreading beneath his feet, about to drift away, like a fish entering the sea.
Just then, a commotion came from the horizon. A large cloud of black divine insects drifted over, and tens of thousands of ghosts and demons cleared the way, surrounding the banished immortal as they rapidly approached.
From afar, the immortal's gaze fell upon Shi Yi.
"Brother Shi, why are you leaving in such a hurry? I just had a moment to spare and haven't had a proper chance to say goodbye to you yet," the immortal said, his voice ethereal, like a celestial melody from the heavens.
A pair of Taiyin wings appeared behind Shi Yi, and he used the Kunpeng Extreme Speed to escape at an incredible speed.
He stole the ginseng fruit tree, and the banished immortal must be heartbroken, for it was a complete elixir of immortality, laden with fruit.
Although he has rejected the immortal several times, who can guarantee that he will be rejected again after he has cultivated two strands of immortal energy?
One can imagine that the banished immortal was in great pain at that moment.
That's why he led a swarm of black insects and demons towards this place, clearly indicating that he was up to no good.
"Hehe, that's enough to drop you off here. Go back now." Shi Yi chuckled, casually creating distance between himself and the other person.
"Fellow Daoist, don't you want to know what my seven lifetimes of planning are all about?" The banished immortal was unwilling to give up.
"It's nothing more than a pool of immortal blood. It's of no use to me. Fellow Daoist, you should go back as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the blood sacrifice is delayed, things may change," Shi Yi replied.
Upon hearing this, the immortal's eyes gleamed, and he indeed stopped and abandoned his pursuit.
His expression remained unchanged, still smiling. He held the bone flute horizontally to his lips, and a few strands of glistening hair on his white forehead fluttered in the wind.
"Then let me play a flute tune for Brother Shi," the immortal sighed and said.
Then, a melodious flute sound rang out, pleasant to the ear, gentle and soft, and one could clearly hear the reluctance in the flute's sound.
It was as if two old friends who had shared life-or-death experiences were about to say goodbye.
This left Shi Yi speechless. He had so rudely barged into the other party's plan and forcibly taken away the Ten Fierce Treasures and the Elixir of Immortality. If the Immortal had the chance, he would have wanted to kill him. Yet now he was playing such an emotionally charged flute tune, as if bidding farewell to an old friend. His scheming was far too deep.
