C379 A Thousand-year-old Dead Tree Sucks up New Branches

"This guy is a bit strange." Gao Pei frowned and glanced at Liu Ye.

Gao Pei also felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what exactly was wrong. He just felt that Liu Ye's behavior was a little strange.

Seeing that Ding Yi had agreed, Ding Xue could only nod his head and said, "Then let's go up and take a look."

"Alright, everyone, follow me." Liu Ye's eyes flashed and a smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand and took the lead to walk up the mountain.

At this moment, the sky had already darkened completely. The dark clouds in the sky were halfway up the mountain, and they were already pressing down on top of it. Purple lightning flashed from the dark clouds, and it landed on the mountain with a rumbling sound.

Logically speaking, there were a lot of trees on the mountain, and after being struck by the lightning, it was easy to set fire to the mountain. However, as the lightning struck down, the mountain didn't seem to be affected at all.

Very quickly, the group of people arrived at the peak of the mountain, and a sense of pressure was felt in everyone's heart.

Dense black clouds covered the sky. Purple lightning flashed like purple snakes as they swam through the dark clouds. From time to time, a lightning as thick as an arm would strike down at lightning speed.

On the summit of the mountain, an ancient tree that had withered away a long time ago was charred black by the lightning. Some parts of it even exploded and emitted a charred smell.

This ancient tree was simply too big. There were around seven to eight people holding it in their arms. The trunk of the tree was twisted and ferocious as bolts of lightning struck down on top of the tree.

Not to mention other people, even Ding Yi could not help but raise his eyebrows at this scene. This scene was really too strange, especially when the lightning accurately landed on the tree trunk, as if the reason for this change was to destroy this ancient tree that had been withered for so many years.

The thousand year old ancient tree's legend was the biggest selling spot of the Tianmen Mountain scenic area. After packaging and advertising, it had already become a landmark here.

This withered tree was filled with a sense of decay. Under the bombardment of the lightning, pieces of the dried up branches either exploded or were charred and broken. However, the lightning in the sky did not seem to have any intention of stopping.

"Heavens, this is simply a miracle!" The tall boy from before could not help but exclaim in surprise at this moment. He took out his camera and began to click it.

This material was simply too rare. Many photographers might not encounter this in their entire lives. This was definitely an opportunity. They might be able to use this material to soar into the skies and become famous!

These thoughts immediately appeared in everyone's mind. Only Liu Ye, who was walking at the front, was looking at the withered tree with an infatuated expression. He did not have any intention of taking a photo.

Ding Yi looked at the dead tree and his eyes gradually became serious. Because with the continuous lightning strikes, not only did the rotten feeling on the dead tree not get washed away by the branches breaking and exploding, it even became stronger.

This aura seemed to anger the dark clouds in the sky. Bolts of even more terrifying lightning fell from the sky and directly struck the trunk, immediately opening a hole in it.

A terrifying aura of decay and death filled the air. Other people might not be able to sense it, but Ding Yi and Gao Pei shared the same feelings.

"That old tree must have embarked on the path of a Demon. It's too bad that it wasn't able to survive the tribulation of the Three Calamities and Six Tribulations." Gao Pei shook his head and sighed.

Plants had their own limitations, making it the hardest race to walk the path of cultivation. If the ancient tree didn't fall within a thousand years, it would have long had its own intelligence.

Hearing this, Ding Yi frowned and shook his head. He said, "Something's wrong. If this ancient tree hasn't even passed the first tribulation, how would it let the Heavenly Dao send down the thunder tribulation?"

"Although this lightning tribulation is only the second of the three calamities, it will not descend for no reason." Speaking up to here, Ding Yi's expression became more and more serious.

Gao Pei's expression also changed. His eyes were filled with shock as he muttered, "Could it be …"

Although it was difficult for plants to break through their own shackles, once they did, their vitality would be unimaginable, just like grass that could break through stones. Although plants would struggle to break through their shackles, once they did, their vitality would be unimaginable, just like grass that could break through rocks.

At that moment, the rotten feeling in the ancient tree suddenly burst forth with a faint but shocking presence. That presence represented life force. It was currently sprouting amidst the rot and death, and although it was weak, it was tenacious!

A twig could be seen growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was as if green leaves were swaying in the air, unable to move even the tiniest bit despite the terrifying lightning strikes!

"The great path of life and death, 'Deadwood Enjoy the Spring'!" Ding Yi squinted his eyes. Just as he expected, this ancient tree relied on the lightning to forcefully condense a hint of life from the decay.

This life was different from ordinary life, it was the life of the Great Way of Life and Death, and that decay and death represented the death of the Great Way of Life and Death. It could be said that even though the ancient tree had only pulled out one new branch, it no longer represented a simple tree.

It could be said that from this moment onwards, the life and death of this ancient tree would no longer be under the control of the Heavenly Dao.

"Such a great Dao!" A trace of greed flashed across Gao Pei's eyes!0

If he could obtain this branch that contained the Great Way of the Life and Death, and master the Great Way of the Life and Death through meditation, then killing Ding Yi would be as easy as crushing an ant!

Even if he couldn't fully comprehend the great Dao of life and death, with this branch that represented life, he could simply borrow its power to circulate the great Dao of life and death. By then, how could the world not leave?

"We're finally here!" Liu Ye muttered to himself. He turned his head and looked at Ding Yi and Gao Pei. A strange smile appeared on his face.

In an instant, Liu Ye suddenly dashed towards the thousand-year-old ancient tree. His speed was so fast that even Ding Yi was shocked. Gao Pei's expression changed as he shouted, "How dare you!"

Gao Pei originally wanted to snatch it later, but didn't expect that the mortal would snatch it first. As he shouted, his black robe fluttered and he rushed out.

Seeing this scene, Ding Yi squinted his eyes. However, he didn't move. Instead, he looked at the figures of Liu Ye and Gao Pei and started to ponder.

It was too late. It was too soon! Although Gao Pei's speed was also very fast, Liu Ye already had the advantage, not to mention he was already closer to Gao Pei. When Gao Pei was still over a hundred meters away from the ancient tree, Liu Ye had already arrived under it.

"Old buddy, long time no see." Liu Ye's eyes flashed with a strange green light. He slowly pressed his palm against the trunk of the ancient tree, "Look at what good thing I've brought you. Enjoy the feast of the Taotie!"
