Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

The shadow was very faint, but Xue Yao could still see clearly that the other person was an old man with beard and eyebrows.

Xue Yao had been transported to a magnificent hall. The walls were inlaid with countless glittering gems, emitting a dazzling light. Looking around, she discovered a large stone platform in the center of the hall, upon which sat an ancient statue.

"Fairy Xueyao, you are finally here." A moment later, a shadow emerged from the statue and spoke slowly, with an ancient and mysterious aura in his voice.

Xue Yao was slightly startled, then bowed respectfully. "Senior, I... who are you?"

After hearing what the phantom said, Xue Yao didn't know what to say for a moment.

She was really surprised. She didn't expect that in addition to the spiritual source, this secret garden also had the existence of this phantom senior.

"I am the guardian of this palace. My surname is Xun and my given name is Zhongze." The shadow said slowly, and there was a sense of the accumulation of time in his voice.

Xue Yao's heart trembled. She knew this secret garden was truly extraordinary, and the shadowy figure before her was undoubtedly a truly extraordinary being. "Senior, my companions and I accidentally triggered the power of an ancient tome while in the Misty Forest, and were transported here. I wonder what you have to offer me, Senior?"

Xun Zhongze smiled slightly, a flicker of approval in his eyes. "Fairy Xueyao, you have a kind heart and a formidable cultivation. I summoned you here to carry out an important mission for you."

"Senior, I wonder what the mission is?" Xue Yao was full of curiosity. She knew that this mission must be not simple.

Xun Zhongze's shadowy figure shifted slightly, as if gazing at Xue Yao. "Inside the Secret Garden lies an ancient secret, a secret that holds the safety of the entire heavens at stake. I need you to find a lost artifact—the Heavenly Heart Mirror."

Xue Yao was shocked upon hearing this. The Heavenly Heart Mirror, a legendary artifact capable of seeing through the heavens and foreseeing the future, was said to have been lost in the great war in the heavens 20,000 years ago.

"Senior, the Tianxin Mirror has been lost for a long time. How can I find it?" Xue Yao asked.

Xun Zhongze's shadow slowly spoke, "The Heavenly Heart Mirror is no ordinary object. It will appear before those destined to receive it. You need to travel to the depths of the Secret Garden, where there lies a mysterious lake called Bibotan. The Heavenly Heart Mirror is hidden within the depths of Bibotan, but there are numerous traps and guardians there, so you must be careful."

Xue Yao nodded, knowing this would be a challenging journey. "Senior, I will do my best, but could you please offer some guidance?"

Xun Zhongze smiled faintly, a faint light emanating from his shadow. "I will grant you a talisman. When you encounter danger, it will guide you to find a way out. But remember, the search for the Heavenly Heart Mirror ultimately depends on your own strength."

Xue Yao took the talisman from Xun Zhongze and felt the powerful force within it. "Thank you, Senior. I will definitely live up to your trust."

Xun Zhongze's shadow gradually faded away. Xue Yao put away the talisman, took a deep breath, and prepared to embark on the journey to find the Tianxin Mirror.

Suddenly thinking of something, she hurriedly called out, "Senior, your soul...how can I help you?"

But the only response she got was the silence in the hall.

It’s not that Xun Zhongze’s shadow didn’t hear what Xue Yao said, but just saying this had already exhausted all his strength.

Even if he wanted to respond, he had no strength left and could only barely shake out a handful of jade slips from his sleeves.

Xun Zhongze, the guardian of this palace within the Secret Garden, has long since exhausted most of his spiritual power and now exists only as a shadow. He places his hopes on Xue Yao, hoping she can successfully find the Heavenly Heart Mirror and rescue the heavens from crisis.

Without receiving a response from Senior Xun, Xue Yao stood quietly in the hall, feeling confused.

She came to her senses when she heard the sound of something falling.

Following the direction of the voice, she picked up the jade slip, and after reading it carefully, she secretly made a decision in her heart.

Xue Yao took a deep breath, walked out of the hall, and headed towards the Bibotan Lake deep in the secret garden.

Walking along a winding path, the surrounding scenery gradually became quiet and mysterious. Xueyao knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and dangers, but she also understood that only by passing these tests could she truly grow and become a strong guardian of the heavens.

Deep within the secret garden, a mysterious scene unfolded before Xueyao. Ancient trees towered, exotic flowers and plants abounded, and all sorts of rare birds and animals darted through the woods. Xueyao moved forward cautiously, constantly alert to any movement around her.

After several days of trekking, Xueyao finally arrived at the Bi Bo Tan that Xun Zhongze had mentioned. A light mist floated on the surface of the lake, and the water was crystal clear, with rippling blue waves, as if waiting for Xueyao's arrival.

Xue Yao took a deep breath and prepared to dive into the lake to look for the Tianxin Mirror.

Just as Xueyao was about to dive into the lake, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. It was a young man dressed in green, with a handsome face and a glint of wisdom in his eyes.

"Fairy Xueyao, I am Xun Zhongze's disciple, my name is Qingyun." The man smiled slightly and bowed to Xueyao. "Master asked me to help you find the Tianxin Mirror."

Xue Yao was delighted. With the help of Xun Zhongze's disciples, she was even more confident in completing the mission. "Master Qingyun, thank you for your help."

Qingyun nodded and pulled out a crystal-clear jade pendant from his bosom. "This is the jade pendant my master left me. It can sense the location of the Heavenly Heart Mirror. Let's go to the depths of Bi Bo Lake together."

The two of them dived into the lake together, the jade pendant emitting a soft light in the water, guiding them forward. The scene in the lake became increasingly bizarre, with all kinds of rare aquatic plants and creatures swimming around them, as if they had entered a mysterious underwater world.

After a difficult exploration, Xueyao and Qingyun finally found an ancient stone gate deep in the Bibo Lake. The stone gate was engraved with complex runes and emitted a faint light.

"This is the portal to where the Heavenly Heart Mirror is located," Qingyun said, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Fairy Xueyao, let's open it together."

Together, they placed the jade pendant into the groove of the stone door. As the jade pendant's light echoed with the runes on the stone door, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a mysterious space.

In the center of that space, a crystal-clear mirror hovered, emitting a soft glow. It was the legendary Tianxin Mirror, a divine artifact capable of perceiving the heavens and earth and foreseeing the future.

After getting the Tianxin Mirror, a ray of light flashed by, and Xue Yao felt dizzy. The next moment, she found herself back in the stone chamber.

In the stone chamber, Yun Duoduo, Xue Yu and others were waiting anxiously.

"Xueyao, you are finally back!" Yun Duoduo said in surprise.

Xue Yao told them about her experience in the hall, but because the matter was of great importance, she omitted the mention of the Tianxin Mirror.

After hearing this, everyone was very surprised.

The power of the ancient book brought them to different fantasy worlds, where each person experienced different tests.
