Yang Zhen has gone mad. She has truly gone mad.
The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers is already nearing the end of his life; anyone can see that his lifespan is almost over. He's about to die, yet Yang Zhen is defying fate?
How is that possible?
The Holy Maiden Tianxuan's life force had been severed, but her soul remained. Using the Yang Life True Rune and Yin Palace True Rune, she risked her life to use the power of the Heavenly Secret Lock's Principle and the power of the blood-colored demonic energy to transform life force. This was not successful. If it weren't for Yang Zhen's Heavenly Mystery Essence-Transferring Formation, the Holy Maiden Tianxuan might not have been able to be resurrected.
However, Yang Zhen's Heavenly Mystery Essence-Transferring Formation cannot convert all kinds of power into life force.
After tens of thousands of years of preparation, with all the right timing and circumstances taken into account, the Holy Maiden Tianxuan still almost failed. The Heavenly Mystery Essence-Transferring Formation was merely a catalyst, which just happened to be able to be used on the Yang Life True Rune and the Yin Palace True Rune.
Now that the Holy Maiden Tianxuan has left, the Yang Life True Rune and Yin Palace True Rune were refined by the Holy Maiden Tianxuan. Even if she hadn't left, it would have been impossible for the Old Man of Mountains and Rivers to use them.
Under such circumstances, Yang Zhen's Heavenly Mystery Essence-Transferring Formation is completely ineffective.
Even experts at the Emperor Realm would be at a loss in dealing with Old Man of Mountains and Rivers's situation, let alone Yang Zhen.
Seeing the terrifying thunderclouds roaring in mid-air, the Old Man of Mountains and Rivers showed a hint of fear on his face, shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "Young friend Yang, I am like this not because I want anything from you. I know you have many methods and can do what others cannot, but given my condition, you don't need to waste your efforts."
As he said this, a look of despair appeared on the Old Man of Mountains and Rivers's face.
Clearly, the Old Man of Mountains and Rivers did not have high hopes for Yang Zhen's words, but... hope is still hope. When Yang Zhen said those words, he had already cut off the Old Man of Mountains and Rivers ' life force.
An angry look appeared on the Elder Huang's face as he stared at Yang Zhen and said, " Yang Zhen, what... what can I say to you? The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers could have had a good fight, but you gave him unrealistic hopes. He... he... he's completely incapable of helping you suppress the Devil Seed now. You'd better watch yourself!"
The people around him looked indignant upon hearing this, but since Yang Zhen Yang Zhen too much.
Que Ling approached Yang Zhen, bowing her head, and said, " Yang Zhen, your actions... were truly inappropriate. Senior Shanhe..."
Yang Zhen smiled. Over the years, had Yang Zhen ever cared about what others thought?
Seeing the relieved smile on Han Yan'er's face, Yang Zhen chuckled, walked up to the Old Man of Mountains and Rivers, and said, "You old man, it seems you have some misunderstanding about this 'Sage of Saunter '."
The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers had come to terms with it, and said with a smile, "Perhaps so, but I know perfectly well that even if Emperor Venerable expert came, he wouldn't be able to help me."
The terrifying thunder continued to rumble in mid-air.
Yang Zhen ignored the Old Man of Mountains and Rivers, gave the heavens the middle finger, and said irritably, "What are you yelling about? This Sage of Saunter is just prolonging the life of a dying man, don't be so petty."
After saying that, Yang Zhen poked hard, then turned to the Old Man of Mountains and Rivers and said, "Come with me. If this ' Sage of Saunter' says he can do it, he can do it. For so many years, this ' Sage of Saunter' has kept a low profile. Now that I'm finally going to be high-profile, are you going to refuse me?"
The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers wore only a bitter smile. Finally, he shook his head and said, "So be it. In the end, everything returns to dust. If you're willing to try, then try. Consider this my last favor to you... what is this?"
As he continued, the Old Man of Mountains and Rivers's eyes widened suddenly, and he took a deep breath, as if he wanted to suck in everything Yang Zhen was about to reveal.
A rich vitality emanated from Yang Zhen's hand, instantly enveloping an area of about a hundred feet in radius.
Yang Zhen grinned and opened his palm, saying, "Have you ever heard of the seed of the Ageless Tree?"
"The seeds of the Ageless Tree?"
The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers and the Elder Huang both exclaimed in surprise and rushed to Yang Zhen's side. Perhaps because they were too excited and horrified, they both leaned their heads toward Yang Zhen's hand, but they bumped into each other with a loud bang, almost giving the two old men a concussion, which startled Yang Zhen.
It wasn't that the two old men Old Man of Mountains and Rivers and Elder Huang, were ignorant; it was simply that there was only one Ageless Tree in the entire world, and no one had ever imagined that this Ageless Tree would be in Yang Zhen's hands.
In reality, Yang Zhen's "Tree of Ageless Tree" is not a true Ageless Tree, because the real Ageless Tree has already been given to Hua Youyue. The tree in Yang Zhen's mind is another tree that has grown from the seed of the original Ageless Tree, and it has nothing to do with the Ageless Tree anymore.
If it really had to be named, Yang Zhen would prefer to call it the Immortal Tree!
Upon hearing the name "Seed of the Ageless Tree," everyone present gasped, their faces lighting up with ecstatic joy.
Although the seeds of the Ageless Tree cannot directly extend the life of the Old Man of Mountains and Rivers, there is a way. Whether it can be done depends on how many tricks Yang Zhen has up his sleeve.
Only then did the Old Man of Mountains and Rivers's face truly show a look of hope.
At this moment, Yang Zhen suddenly frowned and said, "Damn it, that doesn't seem quite right. This isn't a seed from the Ageless Tree."
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, the Old Man of Mountains and Rivers almost fainted.
The others also stared at Yang Zhen with fury, disgusted that he was being mocked like this.
But seeing the puzzled look on Yang Zhen's face, it didn't seem like he was deliberately teasing anyone, leaving everyone momentarily stunned.
The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers gave a bitter smile and said, "Young friend Yang, I am already a dying man, so please don't make me feel so anxious and distressed."
Yang Zhen was taken aback, and explained, "But this really isn't the seed of the Ageless Tree, it... how about we call it the fruit of the Immortal Tree?"
"The fruit of the Immortal Tree?" The Elder Huang's face showed a hint of surprise as he asked, "What's the difference between the Ageless Tree and the Immortal Tree?"
Yang Zhen for a moment and said, " Ageless Tree in the world, Immortal Tree... This Sage of Saunter can plant as many as he wants."
As for its effects, the Immortal Tree is probably slightly less effective than the Ageless Tree, but it can be mass-produced after all; it even bears fruit, so how could it not be mass-produced?
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone around gasped.
The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers looked at Yang Zhen with hope and asked, "Can the seed of this Immortal Tree prolong my life?"
"Able!"
Yang Zhen said with certainty.
The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers almost jumped up in excitement, but Yang Zhen continued, "However, it's not enough to just use fruit to prolong life; we also need to use other methods."
"Go on, go on, I'll fully cooperate with you today." The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers's face even turned rosy.
Yang Zhen curled his lip and glanced sideways at the Old Man of Mountains and Rivers, saying, "Why don't you take a walk if you have nothing else to do?"
The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers was stunned, took a few steps with a bewildered look on his face, and asked, "Is... that so?"
Yang Zhen: "..."
It seems that the Old Man of Mountains and Rivers is truly cooperating completely; even when Yang Zhen asked him to jump, he did not hesitate at all.
Rumble!
The terrifying thunderclouds roared continuously in mid-air, becoming even more turbulent after Yang Zhen took out the seed of the Immortal Tree.
Many cultivators hurriedly retreated, staring in shock at the sky.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, chuckled, looked up at the sky, and muttered to himself, "Here comes my little brother. This Sage of Saunter is going to take your life. You'd better cooperate."
