Charm God Cherry Tree

Xu Yuan continued to walk forward, jokingly saying:

"So, Old Man Luo, do you still want to fly over there?"

The Saint's Remnant Soul pondered for a moment:

"Dealing with leeches of this size is indeed somewhat troublesome, but young Xu, how did you know? If your Prime Minister's Estate knew about this Dome Palace, there's no reason for you to sit idly by."

"Oh? You want to know?"

"Nature."

Even if you want to know, I won't tell you.

"."

Xu Yuan chuckled softly and shook his head.

Enjoy being a riddle solver? Then let's all do it together and annoy each other!

As they walked along the corridor, the giant leeches, seeing that Xu Yuan had stopped feeding them, all dived back into the water.

For a time, the beautiful scenery on the lake remained unchanged, and the autumn waters once again blended Changtian.

The corridor was silent, with only Xu Yuan's footsteps echoing softly, the Saint's Remnant Soul floating beside him.

The further they walked, the more solemn the Saint's Remnant Soul's gaze became.

He had already discerned that the redwood-built waterway was equipped with some kind of hallucinatory and mysterious array.

With their senses blocked by the Chaos Lineage Array, they could easily get lost in this illusory array and never be able to get out. But the kid in front of them acted as if he were going home, turning directly at the fork in the road without even looking.

After walking for another fifteen minutes,

The huge cherry tree that was previously in the middle of the pool is now less than 100 meters in diameter from them, and the glistening cherry blossoms falling on the azure water are clearly visible.

After reorganizing his thoughts, the Saint's Remnant Soul suddenly said:

"Young Xu, I think we need to talk."

Xu Yuan understood immediately. Without stopping, he checked his direction and replied with a light laugh:

What do you want to talk about?

"Actually, I don't think we need to make our relationship so strained."

The Saint's Remnant Soul showed no embarrassment, still smiling broadly, "If it weren't for your elder brother tripping me up, I would have genuinely intended to cooperate with you sincerely."

"I know."

Xu Yuan shrugged.

He had no doubt about the truth of the other party's words, because he knew what kind of person this remnant soul was.

However, from Xu Changge's perspective, this matter is not entirely wrong.

Because of information asymmetry, Xu Changge was unaware of the things that Xu Yuan knew.

Although the Saint's Remnant Soul said he wouldn't hold his disciple's death against him, who would believe the enemy's one-sided story?

All he knew was that the Prime Minister's Estate had killed the precious disciple that Old Man Luo had been willing to sacrifice his Source Soul to protect.

What if Xu Yuan's third brother goes out to travel, and this old man is willing to risk the backlash of the restrictions to avenge his disciple?

After a slight pause, Xu Yuan continued:

How do you want to cooperate?

The saint's soul grinned:

"It's very simple. I will tell you about the Yantian Art Technique, and you will tell me about this secret realm."

Xu Yuan frowned slightly, glancing at the Saint's Remnant Soul:

What do you mean by this?

The information about the Yantian Art is undoubtedly a godsend for Xu Yuan right now, since the Tianyan is still chasing after him.

However, the information about this Dome Palace was of little help to the Saint's Remnant Soul.

This is a completely unfair deal.

The Saint's Remnant Soul stared into Xu Yuan's eyes and said with a chuckle:

You can interpret this as a sign of sincerity.

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, then chuckled softly:

"Sincerity? It's more like a test, isn't it? But since you've shown your sincerity, it would be impolite not to accept it. Ask whatever you want, and I'll tell you if I know the answer."

This conversation made Xu Yuan feel like he was the old man.

The Saint's Remnant Soul pondered for a moment, glanced at the giant cherry tree a hundred meters away, and asked in a low voice:

Why did you go to that cherry tree?

"Because there's a teleportation array there that can take you to any part of this Dome Palace."

Xu Yuan pointed to the area under the cherry tree, paused, and then suddenly grinned. "And you don't know what this Charm God Ancient Cherry can produce, do you?"

The Saint's Remnant Soul spoke with a hint of surprise, "This cherry tree is the Charm God Cherry?"

Xu Yuan was equally surprised. "You can't tell?"

The Saint's Remnant Soul shook his head slightly. "Although I have read relevant documents in ancient texts, I have never seen this tree in my life, and my Will Soul is restricted here, so I cannot perceive it. However, the fact that such a divine tree can be planted here is quite something."

Xu Yuan nodded upon hearing this and said in a low voice:

"The Qionghua Sect and the once-powerful Joyous Union Sect have a close relationship; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are from the same lineage. Old Man Luo, you didn't know about this?"

The Saint's Remnant Soul fell silent for a moment, then looked at Xu Yuan with even more seriousness, and shook his head:

"I don't know. Whether it's the Qionghua Sect or the Joyous Union Sect, they were both destroyed long ago back in my time."

"Is that so?" Xu Yuan remained noncommittal.

As they spoke, Xu Yuan and the Saint's Remnant Soul had already arrived at a crossroads.

Looking to the left, an open-air boardwalk over the water leading to the towering cherry blossoms comes into view.

Xu Yuan walked directly to his right without even thinking.

The Saint's Remnant Soul frowned slightly upon seeing this, but remained silent.

Xu Yuan explained softly:

"This is the final section of the Soul-Bewildering Corridor. If you go left, you will get lost, and it will be impossible to get back."

"."

The Saint's Remnant Soul sighed:

"It is this old man who is somewhat ignorant."

"It's just that the formation is strange," Xu Yuan replied with a smile.

The Saint's Remnant Soul suddenly used its soul power to stop Xu Yuan's figure;

"Hey kid, wait a minute."

Xu Yuan remained calm and asked:

"How?"

"I remember the Charm God Cherry Tree seemed to require a blood sacrifice?"

"Certainly."

"At such an advanced age, I may not be able to protect you, Enchantress Sakura."

"Don't worry, I'm confident in my abilities."

The Saint's Remnant Soul gave Xu Yuan a deep look before releasing him.

Xu Yuan stepped through a thin layer of light, and the scene before him suddenly opened up. A towering cherry tree came into view, and humans standing in front of it looked like ants.

I haven't had time to look at it much yet.

A female voice, as ethereal as a nightingale's, suddenly rang in their ears:

"Who are you?"

The Saint's Remnant Soul's eyes narrowed upon hearing this voice.

Tree Spirit

She went back into the Soul Ring, ready to run away with Xu Yuan at any time.

Xu Yuan simply took a deep breath, said nothing, and quietly walked to a small mound under the cherry tree. He then whispered to the mound:

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"Jing He?"

A cherry blossom fell from the towering cherry tree, and a voice seemed to carry a hint of surprise. "You're back?"

Xu Yuan didn't speak, but took out a pot of Huadiao Wine wine from his Sumeru Ring.

He sat down, took out two porcelain cups, filled them, and poured one cup onto the mound of earth.

"Sorry."

He downed the glass in one gulp and whispered:

"Yuchu... I'm back."

"."

The towering cherry tree swayed, as if trying to say something, but its last vestige of hope had vanished, and its voice was lost in the rustling of falling blossoms.

And amidst the falling blossoms...

A cherry blossom quietly landed between Xu Yuan's eyebrows and disappeared in an instant.

That year, the flowers bloomed, the beauty was buried, and her soul merged with the divine cherry blossoms.
