C2671 Ancient Tree of Life

Even with Lin Bai's current abilities, he could not find out why Leng Zhan was still unable to give birth even though she was two years pregnant.

Just like how Chen Baian and Zhang SanKuang had spent a lot of effort to investigate the nature of the world, but in the end, they could only deduce the nature of the world in a hazy manner, and could only deduce a few words. According to his deductions, the child in Leng Yanyan's womb was involved in an extremely important and extraordinary manner. It involved some secrets that even he was unable to reach.

But what made Lin Bai happy was that after he circulated his Fa Li and entered Leng Zhan's stomach, he began to investigate the little fellow. He discovered that even though the little guy was abnormally mysterious, he had developed extremely well. Right now, he was sleeping soundly in his womb, and was extremely well-built.

Although he was perplexed, the results of his investigation still caused Lin Bai's anxious heart to calm down slightly. He then rejected Leng Zhan Yan's proposal to undergo caesarean section that he had previously discussed with He Jia Ruidao and the other girls. According to his thinking, since this little guy wanted to stay in his womb, there must be a hidden agenda.

Seeing how serious Lin Bai was, how could Leng Zhan possibly have any doubts? Although she didn't know the reason, she still agreed to Lin Bai's decision. In fact, deep down, she didn't approve of having a caesarean section either. Although being pregnant was a long time and the little guy was very big, it was still a burden for her. However, under the urging of her maternal love, although she felt it was hard, she was also very happy.

Time flew by quickly after their reunion. During this time in Karakorum, besides spending time with a few girls and his family, Lin Bai also had Shen Lingfeng gather the members of the pillar stone of the country and analyze the doubts in their hearts. He explained the profound insights he had gained on the main road, and every sentence he spoke was like a sharp dagger.

It was one thing for those old members of the Pillar of State who were already accustomed to Lin Bai's mysticality to do so, but for those newly joined members of the pillar stone pillar, after Lin Bai had explained his teachings to them, their faces were filled with reverence and respect. Today, they finally understood why when the old members mentioned Lin Bai, they would look at him with reverence and treat him as a god.

While these people had expressions of reverence on their faces, Lin Bai also felt gratified in his heart as he stared at Lin Bai. He discovered that among the members that Shen Lingfeng had chosen, there were indeed quite a few who had a deep understanding of the Great Way. Although the cultivation base of these people might not be that high, but in the future, their names would definitely spread far and wide.

Furthermore, at this time, Lin Bai was even more certain that once all of the mundane affairs were over and he returned to the Celestial Realm, he would bring these good seedlings to the Celestial Realm to cultivate. The first reason was because the Celestial Realm was filled with spiritual energy and was extremely useful for their cultivation. The second reason was that the Celestial Realm was in chaos and could not be stopped. If a person wanted to become talented, they would need to train with fire and blood.

After spending a month with his family at Kunlun, Lin Bai had a few words with the girls and then left on his own on the sword. He wanted to go into seclusion again, because there were still some doubts hidden in his heart.

The Sword Pavilion, Mount Fang, the Pill Talisman Sect, and even the Spirit Spring Sect had all left Lin Bai's mark. Every time he appeared, he would be greeted with a tsunami of kowtows.

All the grudges from the past were already like passing clouds to the current Lin Bai. The current him only had one thought left, and that was to completely solve the perplexities that he was unable to discover in the past.

The first place he went to was the Sword Pavilion's fiery domain. This was what Qing Yizi had warned him before his death. According to what he said, the fiery domain was extremely mysterious. Other than refining artifacts, there were even rumors of creatures walking out from the depths of the fiery domain.

With his current cultivation level of the Avici Realm, even though the flames in the fiery domain were extraordinary, they could no longer harm him. Without much effort, he arrived at the deepest part of the fiery domain.

What was going on? But after entering the deepest part of the fiery domain, Lin Bai's heart couldn't help but shiver and his eyes filled with confusion.

As far as he could see, in the deepest part of the fiery domain, there was actually a barren land. The ground was bare and cracked, without the slightest bit of life, but in the deepest part of the fiery domain, there was a type of flame. That flame was like a miniature ancient tree.

Not only that, as the flames flickered, it was as if the runes were constantly being reborn and destroyed. That strange situation was as if the worlds were constantly collapsing one after another before regaining a new life. Even this strange scene made Lin Bai wonder if this weak fire tree could burn the heavens and the earth, and even destroy eternity.

Lin Bai sat cross-legged in front of the fire tree and quietly observed it for a long time. As he stared at the rune, which had once again regained its life, he felt that he had a faint grasp on something. In the end, he suddenly had a bold idea. He released the scarlet red iron piece from the Atlas book and inserted it into the fire tree that was like an illusory image.

The moment it was placed into the fire tree, the red iron piece, which even the Apotheosis Realm was unable to destroy, was melted into a golden liquid that continuously flowed within the fire tree and then slowly dissipated. Like the sap of a tree, it slowly poured into every part of the fire tree.

After the crimson red metal piece had filled every corner of the fire tree, the fire tree, which had originally seemed like a phantom, suddenly became solid. It was as if it had really turned into a real tree. The strangest thing was that even the He Tuoluo book did not stop this transformation.

"I finally understand. What I've been searching for is this Ancient Life Tree …" Just as Lin Bai's heart was filled with suspicion, he suddenly felt that the fire tree was extremely strange. At that moment, a long sigh suddenly sounded out from behind him.

This sudden change of events made Lin Bai feel a chill run down his spine. This was because he had entered the fiery domain alone and no one had followed him. Moreover, he did not believe that there was anyone in this world who was strong enough to enter the deepest parts of the fiery domain and even avoid his detection.

However, when Lin Bai turned his head, he discovered that the person who spoke was actually an illusory figure. However, what made Lin Bai glad was that this elusive figure was currently completely immersed in the fire tree. It did not display any hostility towards him, and there was even a hint of goodwill.

After a long while, the shadow seemed to have awoken from a dream, sighed softly, and then explained the situation to Lin Bai. According to the mysterious man, he had been attached to Lin Bai from the Boneyard.

The words of the mysterious man caused Lin Bai to break out in a cold sweat. If the mysterious man had attached himself to him from that moment onwards, then wouldn't everything that he had experienced would be seen by the mysterious man? More importantly, the shadow had been attached to him for such a long time, yet he had not sensed it at all. In that case, what cultivation level had he reached?

And the next part of the narration of the phantom made Lin Bai feel even more confused. According to what the mysterious man had said, he had already lost all his memories, but now, after the scarlet red metal piece had been smelted into the fire tree, he had regained a portion of his memories.

This phantom was actually the creature that had walked out from the depths of the fiery domain. Furthermore, it was the spirit that had been birthed by the enormous fire tree! Strangely, however, the apparition could not remember how his memories had been erased and why they had become like this.

According to the mysterious man, the fire tree was actually an ancient tree of life. These flames were actually the gathering of the essence energy of heaven and earth. The fire tree was like a phoenix that had been reborn from the fire, seeking hope from its destruction.

In the end, the mysterious man chose to immerse himself in the fire tree and nurture himself with the fire tree's enormous life essence. He wanted to one day be able to completely restore his spirit and recover his most important missing memories.

With regards to this request of the illusionary figure, Lin Bai did not reject it. Moreover, he felt that there were many secrets within the mysterious figure and these secrets had already reached the most primal of this world. He also wanted to one day be able to understand these secrets to the best of his abilities.

Before the shadow entered the fire tree, he took the flying sword from Lin Bai and used a secret technique recorded in the records to borrow the fire tree's power to help Lin Bai refine the flying sword again. After a round of tempering, although the shape of the flying sword remained unchanged, it was still as clear as crystal. However, if one looked carefully, they would discover that there were countless runes within the flying sword that were constantly destroying new life like the flame on a fire tree.

Not only that, the simulacrum even warned Lin Bai, asking him to pay attention to the seed he obtained. This was because in the Pill Symbol Sect's old territory, he felt a power that even he was unable to resist. It was precisely that kind of power that caused Lin Bai and Leng Yanyan to fuse together. Furthermore, it could also be the reason why Leng Yanyan was unable to give birth to a child despite having been pregnant for a long time.

After finishing his explanation, the simulacrum merged with the fire tree and sank into a deep slumber. The only thing left behind was the Fire Tree, which was unceasingly producing the Bright Annihilation Symbol, which had transformed into the reincarnation cycle of life and death. However, all the symbol lines had become much more solid compared to the very beginning.
