Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Seeing that the python was about to die under Xue Yao's sword, if there were any bystanders, they would probably feel sad for it.

If nothing unexpected happened, the next scene would be that, with a shrill roar, the python's movements gradually became slower, and finally it collapsed to the ground, curled up in pain...

However, at the most critical moment, something unexpected happened. A fearless bystander actually jumped out and released a burst of energy, changing everything.

The python escaped death, and although it was still frightened, it was happy in its heart.

Xue Yao felt even colder all over, as if the entire mountain was about to be frozen.

"Since you are here, please show yourself." After stabilizing her body, Xue Yao narrowed her eyes and said coldly in the direction of the energy.

The energy he released could so accurately deflect her sword, so the person coming here must be extraordinary. But she was not afraid. The more she was afraid, the more she wanted to see who the person was.

Moreover, the reason why her way was blocked was still unclear, and now another troublemaker had appeared, making her want to find out the truth even more.

In an instant, the air flow surged, and a white-haired old man appeared in front of Xue Yao.

"Girl, you are quite skilled." The old man had white beard and eyebrows, but a ruddy complexion, truly a man with a youthful face and white hair.

He held a whisk in his hand, his tone was kind and he smiled, but he carried a sense of oppression.

"Senior, why did you take action?" Xue Yao was not moved by his kind tone and continued to speak coldly.

"Haha, little girl, are you still angry?" The old man looked at Xueyao, nodded slightly, almost imperceptibly, and asked instead of answering.

angry?

Xue Yao instinctively mobilized her spiritual power, but found that it was no longer suppressed. She tried to release her spiritual consciousness again, and her sea of consciousness also broke through the restriction.

When he released his spiritual sense, he discovered that the old man's cultivation was unfathomable.

Xue Yao was shocked, but remained alert and asked coldly, "Senior, why did you remove my restrictions?"

The old man was stunned, thinking, this girl is really smart. He smiled and said, "Little girl, don't misunderstand me. I just saw that you were in trouble and wanted to help you."

Xue Yao looked at the old man in confusion, "What exactly is this senior's intention?"

She couldn't win in a fight, but she couldn't just give up.

The old man seemed to see through Xueyao's thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have no other intentions. I just want to use your hand to settle a cause and effect."

What karma still concerns her?

Xue Yao still had doubts in her heart when she heard this, but she knew that she couldn't argue any further at this moment, so she clasped her fists and said, "Oh, in that case, I'm all ears."

The old man smiled and shook his head. "You're welcome. This is a matter of fate. You and I are both involved in this."

Is this really related to me? This is too bizarre.

Although Xue Yao was puzzled, she felt relieved after hearing this, so she said, "Since that's the case, please explain clearly, Senior, what exactly is the cause and effect of this?"

The old man's expression was solemn. "Little girl, do you know that the technique you are practicing is a relic left behind from a forgotten past?"

Xue Yao was shocked. "I am a foolish young man. I hope you can explain it in detail."

The old man smiled and said, "This matter involves a wide range of issues and requires further consideration. However, since you and I have a connection, why not work together to uncover the secrets behind this?"

This matter involves many people?

Xue Yao was puzzled. The skills she practiced were all taught by her mother. What secrets could be behind this?

The old man's profound gaze seemed to travel through time and space. "Legend has it that the technique you practice is a legacy left by an unparalleled genius. This person is the subject of many legends in the martial arts world, but no one knows his true identity."

Xue Yao became increasingly curious and asked, "So, what is the causal relationship between this genius and me?"

The old man shook his head gently. "You need to explore this cause and effect relationship yourself. However, at this moment, you and I are like walking in a fog. Only by helping each other can we find the truth."

A hint of determination flashed in Xue Yao's eyes. She nodded slightly and said, "I understand. I am willing to work with you to uncover this mystery and follow the footsteps of that peerless genius."

The old man nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. "Since you are so determined, then we will set off in three days."

Xue Yao's expression was solemn, and she said seriously, "I am ready, and I only wait for your guidance to embark on this unknown journey together."

Her tone softened slightly as she continued, "I'm just a little confused. Why does it have to be three days later?"

The old man laughed loudly, "Girl, don't worry, there are still things to deal with here. You can set off with peace of mind after you finish the things." Then he looked at the python, "Boy, you tell me." After saying that, he turned around and left.

While Xue Yao was dealing with the old man, the python's spirit had recovered.

When he heard the old man mention it, his heart was shocked, but he instantly regained his composure.

It lowered its head and said slowly, "Human, I was reckless just now. I apologize first. I'm sorry!"

Huh? This change is too big. Xue Yao was stunned by its apology.

But she quickly came to her senses and asked, "Why are you blocking my way?"

The python didn't expect her to continue asking this question. After a moment's hesitation, he blurted out, "It's my duty."

This king? My duty? Could it be that this mountain...

Xue Yao was filled with doubts, but remained calm and said with a smile, "Why is this place so mysterious? Could it be that you are the guardian of this mysterious place?"

A light of pride flashed in the python's eyes, and it slowly said: "Yes, it is I who am waiting here. This is where I practice."

"Then what do you want to do that requires you to stop me from going forward?" Xue Yao gritted her teeth, trying to get the reason out of the python's mouth.

The python was displeased to hear her continue to question him. A hint of a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth as he said, "Answer me, why are humans always so greedy and insist on exploring all the unknown things?"

Then, with a sharp gaze, it looked directly at Xue Yao and said earnestly, "Humans are always driven by curiosity, seeking to uncover the mysteries of the world. However, the unknown often hides endless dangers. If you want to know the secrets of this place, you must first pass this king's test."

Xue Yao's heart tightened, wondering if this test would be incredibly difficult. But with a determined glint in her eyes, she responded loudly, "Don't worry, Your Excellency. I will do my best to accept the test."

As soon as the words fell, the python's eyes softened, as if satisfied with Xueyao's firm confidence. It slowly said, "Okay, then please follow me."

"Okay." Xue Yao thought to herself that no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, she would move forward bravely.

So, Xueyao followed closely behind the python, through the winding mountain path, and walked a long way. Along the way, ancient trees towered up to the sky, blocking out the sun, and a mysterious atmosphere filled the air.

The python brought Xueyao to a quiet valley and stopped in front of a stone tablet. The stone tablet was engraved with ancient runes and emitted a strange light.

"This is..." Xue Yao looked at the stone tablet with surprise in her eyes.

The python's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he said in a serious tone, "This is the trial ground of this king. You must accept the test here before you can uncover the secrets of this mysterious place."

Xue Yao took a deep breath, raised her head to face the stone tablet, and prepared to face the upcoming challenge.

In front of the stone tablet, Xueyao straightened her back and said, "Okay, let's get started."

The python looked at her thoughtfully, with mixed feelings.

This stone tablet resembles a bronze mirror, a magical instrument of inspection. No matter who you are, nothing can escape its power. Only those with a righteous mind and upright character can activate its power. Conversely, those who are evil will suffer backlash.

I saw the big python facing the stone tablet, spitting out red letters from its mouth, and after a hissing sound, it muttered something, but no one knew what it said.

The next moment, the runes on the stone tablet burst out with brilliant light, illuminating the entire valley.

The python couldn't help but be shocked. It seemed that what the old man said was true. This human was not an evil person. He had indeed misunderstood her just now.

At this moment, the old man who was witnessing all this in secret couldn't help but nod slightly.

Xue Yao looked up at the stone tablet, her heart filled with determination and courage. Suddenly, the ancient runes on the stone tablet began to slowly flow, transforming into strange rays of light.

She felt a powerful force surging from the stone tablet, as if telling a thousand-year-old secret. Under the influence of this mysterious force, Xue Yao soon felt as if she was in an ancient painting.
