Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

After leaving the illusion, everyone still flew in the direction guided by Qingyi.

However, he wasted a lot of time because of the illusion. Perhaps someone had already reached the place Qing Yi had previously determined. His sense of the place had weakened a lot, so he had to find another place to go.

After two days of flying, the group arrived at a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. The mountains here were rolling and lush green, and a clear stream meandered through the valley like a silver ribbon.

"This is such a wonderful place," Bowring exclaimed. "The air is fresh, the scenery is picturesque, it feels like being in a paradise."

"Yes," Xue Yao also nodded in agreement, "but we can't be fooled by the beautiful scenery before us. We still have to continue looking for the place where Qingyi pointed us."

The group continued on their journey, following the stream upstream, searching for the mysterious place Qing Yi had pointed them to. Along the way, they encountered all sorts of bizarre creatures, some docile and adorable, others ferocious and fierce. But with their strength and wisdom, they were always able to overcome danger.

As they were passing through a dense bamboo forest, they suddenly heard a melodious flute sound coming from the front. The sound was as clear as spring water, as if it could cleanse the soul and make people feel relaxed and happy.

"What's that sound?" Renhu asked curiously.

"It sounds like someone is playing the flute," Su Xin replied, "Let's go over and take a look."

Following the flute's sound, the group walked through the bamboo forest and arrived at an open meadow. There, a woman in white sat on a bluestone, flute in hand, playing a melodious tune. Her face was pure and elegant, seemingly blending seamlessly with the surrounding natural scenery.

"Excuse me, young lady," Xue Yao asked politely, "may I ask who you are and why are you playing the flute here?"

The woman in white stopped playing the flute, smiled slightly, and said, "My name is Youlan, and I am the guardian of this valley. Who are you? Why are you here?"

Everyone introduced themselves and explained their purpose. After Youlan heard this, a strange light flashed in her eyes.

"I see," Youlan said, "It seems you have an indissoluble bond with this valley. However, the place you are looking for is not easy to reach. You will need to pass many tests."

"A test?" Renhu asked, frowning. "What kind of test?"

Youlan smiled faintly and said, "You will face a test of your soul. Only those with a clear mind and firm faith can pass it. Are you ready?"

Everyone looked at each other and nodded firmly.

Youlan stood up and led the group through a misty valley. Strange sights appeared one after another, seemingly testing their courage and wisdom. But with their tacit cooperation and unwavering faith, they overcame these challenges one by one.

Finally, they arrived at a mysterious lake. In the center of the lake stood a small island, and on the island stood an ancient stone tablet. Ancient characters were engraved on the tablet, as if telling a long-lost story.

"This is the place you are looking for," Youlan said. "I hope you can find the answers you seek here."

Everyone looked at the ancient stone tablet, their hearts filled with anticipation and curiosity. Xue Yao walked forward and gently stroked the words on the stone tablet, trying to decipher the mystery within.

"These words seem to have been left by the Star Fairy," Su Xin said after careful observation. "It seems that we have finally found the Star Fairy's remains."

"So, what secrets are hidden in these words?" Renhu asked curiously.

Xueyao closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and tried to resonate with the remains of the Star Fairy. After a moment, she opened her eyes, and a light flashed in them.

"These words record a legend about the Star Fairy," Xue Yao said slowly. "According to the legend, the Star Fairy was once a powerful guardian of the power of the stars. She used her entire life to seal away an evil being, but in doing so, she fell into an eternal sleep."

"An evil existence?" Bao Ling frowned and asked, "What is that?"

"Legend has it that it's a dark creature capable of devouring the power of the stars," Xue Yao explained. "To protect the peace of the heavens, the Star Fairy sacrificed herself and sealed the dark creature at the bottom of Star Lake."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a surge of respect in their hearts. They understood that the Star Fairy's sacrifice had brought peace and tranquility to this continent.

"Then, how can we help the Star Fairy?" Xue Yao asked.

Youlan smiled slightly and said, "The seal of the Star Fairy has gradually loosened. You need to find the Heart of the Star to re-strengthen the seal."

"Heart of the Star?" everyone asked in unison.

"Yes," Youlan nodded, "The Heart of the Stars contains powerful star power. Only by finding it can we seal the dark creatures again."

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with determination. They were willing to search for the Heart of the Stars for the Star Fairy's last wish and for peace in this heavenly realm.

"So, where should we start?" Xue Yao asked.

Youlan smiled slightly and swept her eyes over the crowd, as if she could see through their deepest desires and determination.

She said, "The Heart of the Stars is hidden deep within this secret realm, waiting for those destined to discover it. You must pass the test of wisdom and courage to find the path to the Heart of the Stars."

After hearing this, everyone was filled with a passion for challenge. For the last wish of the Star Fairy and for the peace of the heavens, they were willing to give everything.

Youlan pulled an ancient map from her sleeve and handed it to Xueyao. "This is the map leading to the Heart of the Stars, but it contains many puzzles and traps. You must solve them one by one to find the Heart of the Stars."

Xueyao took the map and carefully observed the symbols and lines on it. She found that the map was marked with many strange places, and it seemed that each place hid a different test.

"We will split up," Xueyao suggested, "so we can solve the puzzle on the map more quickly."

Everyone nodded in agreement. This would be a contest of wisdom and courage. They had to follow the instructions on the map and go to different locations.

Xueyao and Xiaolin'er teamed up to head to the first location marked on the map—an ancient temple. Renhu and Yunduoduo headed to a mysterious forest, while Baoling and Qingyi headed to a treacherous mountain peak. Suxin and Xueyu decided to head to a forgotten ruin.

Everyone was full of anticipation, knowing that this would be a challenging adventure.

Xueyao and Xiaolin'er traversed the dense jungle and finally reached the ancient temple. The temple's stone walls were engraved with mysterious runes, as if telling an ancient story. They cautiously entered the temple, only to discover it was filled with traps and mechanisms.

"Watch your step!" Xue Yao reminded. She found some inconspicuous grooves on the ground, which seemed to hide some danger.

Little Scale nodded, carefully avoiding the grooves. They continued forward, finally reaching the center of the temple. There stood a huge stone statue, holding a shimmering gem in its hands.

"Could this be the Heart of the Star we are looking for?" Xiao Lin'er asked excitedly.
