Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

Xiao Lian's voice trembled as she murmured in terror, "I didn't see wrong... there really are immortals in this world!"

The female ghosts, including Qiuyue, finally came to their senses, their faces showing confusion and disorientation.

They thought Xiao Lian had mistaken someone for someone else, but who would have thought!

Could it be that immortals and gods have truly descended upon such a remote place as Guobei County?!

And this moment.

Under the oppressive force of terrifying power, the last shred of hope in the Tree Demon Granny's heart completely collapsed.

The young man before me is either an immortal or an enlightened being!

If I had known this would happen, I should have believed Xiaolian's words back then.

Xiao Lian told her what had happened, but she didn't recognize it at all. She just assumed that Xiao Lian had made a mistake and mistook the expert or Taoist priest who came to Guo Bei County for an immortal.

After all, spiritual energy has dissipated these days. Not to mention humans, even demons find it difficult to cultivate. How could immortals possibly appear?

If gods truly existed, the world wouldn't have become like this...

But things turned out to be completely different from what she had imagined; there really were immortals?!

Just as she was filled with horror.

Su Chen floated in the air above Lanruo Temple, his expression calm, looking down at the tree demon Granny, Yan Chixia, Ning Caichen, and others who were all horrified.

The tree demon grandmother's expression turned terrified, and her tone changed drastically, "Immortal... Immortal Master, please forgive me!"

"You little demon, you're blind and ignorant, unaware of the celestial presence!"

She immediately humbled herself and pleaded, "I am a tree spirit who has become an immortal; cultivation is not easy."

"May the immortals remember my thousand years of arduous cultivation and spare this lowly demon's life..."

Su Chen shook his head, his expression indifferent.

It was as if the tree demon's pleas and terror were nothing more than noise in the wind to him.

He couldn't even be bothered to listen to another word she said.

The next moment, he lightly waved his sleeve.

The white sleeves fluttered in the night wind, the movements seemingly casual, yet as if they stirred some invisible force between heaven and earth.

A vast and pure aura emanated from his sleeve.

This contains the immense power of nearly three thousand years of magical cultivation!

It is beyond the comprehension of ordinary demons and monsters, and even more so than the Tree Demon Granny can contend with!

The terror on her face intensified instantly, and she didn't even have time to think about escaping.

"what!"

A piercing scream ripped through the night sky.

Yan Chixia and the others were horrified to see that the Tree Demon Granny's illusory body, formed from demonic power, yin energy, and Taoist cultivation, was rapidly twisting and shrinking beneath that sleeve.

No matter how much she struggled, or how much the yin energy surged, she could not stop the force of attraction.

In the blink of an eye.

Her figure was completely swept into the seemingly ordinary white sleeves and disappeared without a trace.

It's as if it never existed.

For a moment, there was a deathly silence in front of Lanruo Temple.

Yan Chixia stood there, stunned, his Adam's apple bobbing, feeling a chill run down his spine and straight to the top of his head.

Ning Caichen felt his scalp tingle and his mind went completely blank.

This is a thousand-year-old tree demon, a tree demon with at least several hundred years of cultivation, and it was just taken away with a flick of her sleeve?

Is this the power of immortals?!

Xuan Qingzi's eyes shone with fervor and adoration, wishing he could immediately become a Daoist attendant and serve this immortal on his left.

Just as their emotions were fluctuating.

Su Chen swept away the Tree Demon Granny with a flick of his sleeve, glanced at Yan Chixia and the others, then turned and rose into the air.

What we just captured was merely an incarnation of the Tree Demon Granny; her true form is still in the back mountain of Lanruo Temple. If we don't eliminate her now, the Tree Demon Granny will be resurrected within a hundred years at most.

Su Chen naturally wouldn't let go of the tree demon grandmother herself, who possessed a great deal of cultivation.

In less than a few breaths, he floated to the back mountain.

The back mountain of Lanruo Temple.

A gloomy place filled with desolate graves.

The dilapidated tombstones are crooked and overgrown with weeds, and a gloomy atmosphere lingers year-round.

And in the very center of this dead land.

A thousand-year-old locust tree, its branches reaching to the sky, perches atop it.

The ancient tree's branches grow horizontally, twisting and winding, with thick twigs like countless withered and ferocious arms reaching towards the night sky, as if trying to seize the last bit of life.

The branches were bare of leaves, with only a few withered vines hanging down, swaying in the night wind, rubbing against each other and making a faint but piercing sound, like low groans and sobs.

The trunk is as thick as a palace pillar, its bark mottled and cracked, the crisscrossing textures outlining an aged face eroded by time.

now.

His old face was filled with terror.

"Please spare my life, Immortal!"

The sound came from deep within the tree trunk, trembling and filled with despair.

She wanted to say something more.

Su Chen ignored her and directly used the perfected version of the Flower Blooming Moment on her.

A thought flickered in my mind.

next moment.

It was as if withered trees had come back to life.

On the trunk of this thousand-year-old locust tree, a huge pale red flower slowly blooms.

The petals unfold layer by layer, their patterns seemingly formed by nature, exuding a pure and ethereal aura that seems otherworldly.

But that wasn't life; it was plunder!

The moment the flowers bloomed, the demonic power and cultivation accumulated within the locust tree over hundreds of years were frantically absorbed like a flood bursting its banks!

"what!"

The tree demon grandmother let out a shrill scream, her voice filled with terror and loss of control.

"What is this?!"

"My demonic power... my cultivation!"

She immediately sensed something was wrong and struggled frantically, causing the branches to tremble and the yin energy to surge as she tried to break free.

Unfortunately, how could a mere thousand years of cultivation possibly withstand the power of a Daoist flower that has been cultivated for nearly three thousand years?

Struggling is futile.

Amidst her wails, fear, pleas, curses, and despair.

One by one, peaches glowing with a faint red light condensed and then flew into Su Chen's sleeve.

Su Chen sat cross-legged and began refining the peaches that contained a great deal of Dao power.

A slightly cool, tea-flavored peach melted in his mouth.

After a while.

In the dimly lit, shady mountains behind Lanruo Temple.

Su Chen opened his eyes and looked at the panel.

[Realm: True Person (33%) 3,359 years of cultivation]

Feeling the increasingly powerful aura of cultivation and the pure spiritual energy within him, Su Chen's face flashed with satisfaction as he murmured, "My cultivation has finally truly broken through to over three thousand years..."

He is not far from achieving the realm of a True Person after ten thousand years of cultivation!

He looked up and down.

The thousand-year-old locust tree that once perched atop the desolate tomb is no longer there.

As the flower bloomed and was completely refined, the demonic tree that had borne countless wronged souls and blood debts was left without even a remnant, leaving only a bottomless pit in its place.

Near the edge of the pit, there were scattered skeletons.

Su Chen glanced at it, but didn't look at it much, and gently shook his head.

Then.

After taking one last look at the place, he moved and drifted towards the side hall of Lanruo Temple, where Ning Caichen and the others were.

now.

A dimly lit side hall of Lanruo Temple.

"Young man...where did the immortal go?"

"have no idea……"

Ning Caichen and the others were discussing it with awe.

suddenly.

A ray of bright moonlight shone down from the night sky.

Everyone instinctively looked up.

All I saw was...

In the darkness of night, a boy who seemed like a god or an immortal slowly drifted down.
