Can the Tree Be Cut Down?

Chapter 1483 Can the tree be cut down?

Granny Si saw the dreams shrinking one after another, and the little Qin Mu in the dreams disappeared one after another. Then Qin Mu opened his eyes and couldn't help but feel happy.

Qin Mu’s last dream was about to end. Ma Ye and Zhan Kong Rulai woke up in time, took a step forward, and walked out of his dream.

The dream completely disappeared, and Qin Mu's soul stood behind him, bowing to the two of them to express his gratitude.

Zhan Kong Rulai quickly returned the greeting, pointed at himself, and said, "Brother."

He pointed at Qin Mu again and said, "Brother. Why thank me?"

Qin Mu laughed. Seeing that they were both exhausted, he immediately asked them to go down and rest. Granny Si came forward, returned the divine bow to him, and asked, "Mu'er, is the danger over?"

Qin Mu nodded and said with a smile: "The nine Heavenly Lords of Heaven were so righteous that they took action to kill the Yuansheng of Miro Palace and finally resolved my crisis."

Granny Si breathed a sigh of relief and praised, "Those nine Heavenly Lords are indeed very righteous. You must thank them well in the future."

Qin Mu said quickly: "I will try my best to make their death painless."

"Then I feel relieved." Granny Si breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Mu's spirits were lifted, as if he had seen the light after the clouds had been cleared. He also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Big Brother and Shujun are really efficient. I was worried that they would abandon the Pixiang Hall in Yujing City and leave after activating the seal. If the nine Heavenly Lords do not enter the Pixiang Hall and confront the Miro Palace Yuansheng head-on, I will be in trouble."

He said happily, "I didn't expect them to do so well. Jiu Tianzun also successfully entered the Pixiang Hall and eliminated Yuan Sheng! Have the eldest brother and Shujun returned?"

Granny Si shook her head and said, "They haven't come back yet. Zuting Yujing is quite far from here, so they are probably on their way back. When they arrived at Zuting Yujing City, they caused quite a commotion, and blew a huge hole in the sky. It was really scary!"

Qin Mu walked back and forth, and said with a smile: "I wonder if Jiu Tianzun found anything good when he entered Yujing City. What is the secret of Yujing City..."

Granny Si glared at him and said, "You were ambushed, and you want to run away right now? You have the habit of a roe deer, and you don't even know how to write the word death! You don't know, after the opening of Yujing City, another big thing happened. Yan'er said that your holy land has sprouted, you'd better go and take a look."

Qin Mu immediately put aside the matter of Wei Suifeng and Shujun and asked in surprise: "The holy land has sprouted? What does this mean?"

"I don't know either. I have been guarding here all the time, and I don't know how these 100,000 Holy Mountains sprouted."

As they talked, they walked towards the center of the Hundred Thousand Sacred Mountains.

They had not walked far when they saw a young man named Tai Yi repairing the cracked Big Black Mountain.

The young man put down the bucket and pointed to the center of the Great Black Mountain Holy Land. He said to Qin Mu, "I have been waiting for you there for a long time. Please go over there quickly."

Qin Mu was puzzled and wanted to ask, but the young man Tai Yi went back to his work.

The two of them walked all the way to the center of the Great Black Mountain, and saw a tender green sapling standing tall in the distance. The sapling was hundreds of thousands of feet tall, but had only five or six leaves. On one of the leaves was a palace, which was the temple where Qin Mu guarded this holy land!

Qin Mu and Granny Si had dazed expressions on their faces, and they hurried over. The closer they got, the bigger the sapling seemed, and its branches and leaves were as high as clouds. There was thunder all around, crackling at the leaves.

But even the thunder from the ancestral temple seemed insignificant in front of this sapling. It was as small as a needle and could not hurt the sapling at all.

Qin Mu came under the tree and saw Lan Yutian and Xu Shenghua sitting under the tree meditating, the blind man and the mute were carefully examining a big axe, and the others were busy drawing the Taoist patterns on the branches and leaves of this strange sapling, trying to unravel the mystery of this sapling.

There was also Emperor Ming Huang standing not far away, staring at a burly man under a tree, but the man was looking at him with his eyes and his nose, and ignored him.

Qin Mu stepped forward and asked tentatively, "Brother Taiyi."

Taiyi stood up and said, "Master Mu Tianzun, this piece of land is yours, and the tree growing on this land is also yours, so I waited for you to come and ask you whether this tree should be cut down."

Qin Mu hesitated and asked tentatively: "This sapling is..."

"This tree is the World Tree. From the destruction of one universe after another to the present day, the sacred tree is immortal. It has experienced catastrophes of the destruction of one universe after another. Countless lives, even the saints who have achieved enlightenment, cannot escape death, but this tree is the only one that survived."

Taiyi said, "I cut it down and burned it before, but I didn't expect it to survive. This is already your territory, and I am a guest here. I must ask for your opinion before I cut down your tree."

"World Tree?"

Qin Mu's heart was pounding. He looked up at the incredibly large sapling and murmured, "Is this the magical object that can survive the destruction of the universe?"

His eyes were bright and lively. He had always been bothered by the fact that he had not been able to see this sacred tree with his own eyes, and had always dreamed of seeing this tree with his own eyes.

However, the big tree was cut down too easily, and then it was set on fire, leaving only the black roots. However, he did not expect that the tree would come back to life!

"Master Mu Tianzun, if you leave this tree behind, the immortal parasites from the previous sixteen universes will crawl into this universe. Even I will not be able to resist them."

Tai Yi said: "But even if we cut down this tree, we can't completely block this passage. They will still come, but it will be delayed for a while. Leaving this tree will advance their arrival. Whether to keep this tree or cut it down depends on your decision as the landlord."

Qin Mu hesitated and looked up at the seedling of the World Tree.

The Green Emperor of the East Sky and the Earth Mother Yuanjun were both successful in cultivating sacred trees. The Earth Mother was even a primordial tree that held up the heavens and all the worlds. However, compared with the sacred tree before them, the Earth Mother was far inferior!

This sacred tree is almost a natural, unchanging divine object!

A divine object that can connect all universes!

However, it was precisely because of this sacred tree that prehistoric beings were able to crawl along the roots of the tree to the next universe, escape the catastrophe of destruction, and thus parasitize in the new universe.

This in turn leads to another bad consequence, which is that the lifespan of the new universe is greatly reduced!

"Mass and energy are conserved. The total amount of energy and matter in the universe is fixed. The existence of successful cultivation is equivalent to gathering the energy in the universe."

Taiyi seemed to be able to see through Qin Mu's thoughts. He said beside him, "As more and more powerful people emerge, energy will become more concentrated. The existence of the enlightened ones is the one with the richest energy. The Dao tree of the enlightened ones is placed in the ultimate void, which will become the place with the richest energy. The more enlightened beings squeeze into this universe, the faster the ultimate void will be destroyed. The catastrophe of destruction starts from the ultimate void."

Qin Mu calmed himself down, his eyes still fixed on the sacred tree, and murmured, "Is it impossible to comprehend the mystery of the World Tree and find a method that cannot be erased even by a catastrophe?"

Tai Yi said: "If there is, it would have been found by those powerful people in the previous universe. They still have to rely on the World Tree to survive, so it is obvious that it cannot be found."

Qin Mu pondered.

Suddenly, there was a violent earthquake from underground, and the sapling of this world tree actually grew upward with a rumbling sound!

In just a few breaths, the World Tree grew thousands of feet taller, its trunk became much thicker, and it grew another leaf!

As the underground vibrations disappeared, the growth rate of the World Tree stopped again.

Tai Yi said: "Before you woke up, this tree had already vibrated many times, once a day, and it vibrated during the day. Why did this tree come alive, why did it grow during the day, does Mu Tianzun know the secret?"

Qin Mu shook his head and said sincerely: "Brother Dao, please teach me."

"Someone is nurturing this tree. The resurrection of the world tree, the growth of the world tree, the transformation of the entire ancestral temple into a huge altar to devour the dead lives here, and even Lan Yutian's acquisition of the Pixiang Palace and Wei Suifeng's return of the Pixiang Palace to Yujing City, and the reappearance of the ancestral temple and Yujing City, may all be under the control of that person."

Tai Yi said calmly, "Perhaps, your desire to preserve the World Tree is also in the hands of that person."

Qin Mu's heart was slightly moved: "You mean, the strong man from the first universe era? Has he arrived at the ancestral temple?"

Tai Yi shook his head: "I don't know. I seem to know everything, but in fact there are many things I don't know. For example..."

He hesitated for a moment and did not continue to talk about this topic. He said, "The Zuting Yujing City is also a place I cannot see. It is extremely mysterious. I feel that there is an extremely terrifying existence blocking my sight. Mu Tianzun, after saying so much, do you want to keep this tree or not?"

Qin Mu paced back and forth, stopping from time to time to look up at the World Tree sapling, feeling hesitant.

It's too easy to wait quietly.

After a long time, Qin Mu's disordered mood gradually calmed down and his pace gradually slowed down.

Finally, he stopped, looked at Taiyi with bright eyes, and smiled: "Brother Dao, you have great magical powers and know almost everything, so I want to ask you something. The strong in the prehistoric universe can climb along the roots of the world tree to our universe, so can we also enter the prehistoric universe through the world tree?"

It's too easy to be stunned.

He really hadn't thought about this question.

"What you mean is..." He looked at Qin Mu's bright eyes, a little hesitant.

This was the first time in his life that he felt a little hesitant. This was something he had never experienced before!

"What I mean is, since the arrival of the prehistoric strongmen is inevitable, whether we chop them down or not, they will come to our universe, so why not keep this world tree and wait for it to grow. By then, we can go to their universe first, block these old guys in their universe, or even kill them one by one?"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "When defending, you can never guarantee that you have no loopholes, but when attacking, you will expose the opponent's weaknesses! In this way, the offensive and defensive forces are different!"

Taiyi looked at the sapling behind him for a long time, then said, "Okay. When you become enlightened, I'll take you there!"

The smile on Qin Mu's face froze, and he said hesitantly: "Brother Dao, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run..."

Taiyi reached out and grabbed the axe, shook the blind man and the mute man off the axe, turned around and left, soon disappearing without a trace.

"It's not that the matter of cutting down trees is not negotiable!" Qin Mu said loudly.

However, Taiyi had disappeared.

Qin Mu said angrily: "You usually dawdle, but now you run like crazy!"

He turned and looked at the World Tree, his eyes shining.

At this time, in Yujing City, beside the Chaos River, Wei Suifeng was full of confidence and said to Shujun: "Don't worry, Junior Brother will definitely come to save us!"

————There will be only one update tonight. I am not in a good mood. The baby in my wife's belly has no heartbeat. She is less than three months pregnant. We have been preparing for a second child for two years. I was upset for a long time after hearing the news this afternoon. I couldn't cheer up...
