The perfect world in the eyes of double pupils
Chapter 258 Ginseng Fruit Tree
It is very tall, with ancient roots and bark that resembles a dragon, covered with cracks, exuding the breath of time and a sense of vicissitude. Wisps of mist swirl among the lush branches and leaves, making it verdant and full of vitality.
The medicinal fragrance in the air emanated from among the branches and leaves. You could vaguely see plump, red fruits hanging beneath the leaves, shaped like babies, lifelike.
"Ginseng fruit tree".
Shi Yi was somewhat shocked. This was the first time he had ever seen a complete elixir of immortality. Its astonishing appearance inspired longing in him.
Compared to the ginseng fruit tree in front of him, his incomplete longevity elixir was far inferior, like heaven and earth.
If one could persuade someone to keep such a powerful medicine, symbolizing longevity and eternity, by their side, it would be an unimaginable stroke of luck.
It should be understood that those qualified to possess the elixir of immortality are basically immortal kings and burial kings. In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, even a pool of the elixir of immortality can cause people to fight tooth and nail for it, let alone the elixir itself.
This is an unparalleled elixir that transcends even divine medicine; its efficacy and effects are immeasurable.
Shi Yi composed himself and strode toward the ginseng fruit tree.
During his time there, he saw many miraculous and holy medicines by the roadside. They lingered there because of the longevity aura emanating from the ginseng fruit tree and refused to leave.
As Shi Yi approached, the aura of immortality in the void became increasingly dense. Just a few breaths were enough to give one a feeling of floating on air, as if ascending to heaven.
During this process, the ginseng fruit tree also noticed this uninvited guest.
"You've cultivated two strands of immortal energy? That's quite rare, even in the Immortal Ancient Era, especially given how harsh the cultivation environment has become in this era." Suddenly, an aged voice came from the ginseng fruit tree.
It spared no praise.
"My name is Shi Yi. I greet you, senior." Shi Yi greeted him respectfully.
The ginseng fruit tree chuckled and said, "A descendant of the Stone Clan? I know your purpose in coming here is the same as that little cultivator's. Unfortunately, you will have to leave disappointed."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yi was not discouraged.
In the eyes of the Longevity Elixir, a Divine Fire Realm cultivator who has cultivated two strands of immortal energy is nothing special, and it is perfectly normal for him to refuse.
After all, in that brilliant ancient era, the ginseng fruit tree witnessed many dazzling and unparalleled figures.
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 glimpsed was so beautiful that it had become quite tempted and indecisive. "This future seems wonderful, 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.
