Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Next to Plum Blossom Valley, a cliff towered into the clouds, and above it lay a cave entrance, shrouded in a faint mist, appearing only to be indistinct, as if hiding endless secrets. Xue Yao stood at the cave entrance, her gaze deep and far-reaching, as if she could penetrate the layers of mist and discern the mysteries of time and space.

Recalling the scene when she passed by a wide area behind the cave, Xueyao felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.

In Xueyao's mind, pictures flooded in like a tide.

She saw herself back then, traveling here with Yun Duoduo, Ren Hu, Xue Yu and other companions, and accidentally broke into this mysterious place.

Here, they met the old man playing the flute, whose sound was like a plaintive lament and enchanting. His figure appeared and disappeared in the mist, like an immortal.

Xue Yao never imagined that this mysterious old man was actually the chief steward of the Nine Heavens Goddess Temple, named Xun Zhongze. What shocked her even more was that Xun Zhongze had come to the human world to follow her soul.

After following Xueyao's spirit to Plum Blossom Mountain, Xun Zhongze lived in seclusion in an open area behind a cave on the cliff. He often played the flute here, as if waiting for something.

When Xinglan was attacked by Old Man Xuanfeng in Meihua Mountain, Xun Zhongze took action in time, rescued Xinglan, and sealed him in Biyun Cave.

Old Man Xuanfeng was originally a demon from heaven, and came to the human world to track down Xueyao's soul.

Before sealing Xinglan, Xun Zhongze specifically instructed: "Xinglan, just wait here for your destined one."

During Xue Yao's retreat in Biyun Cave, just when she was about to go crazy, Xun Zhongze, who was in a state of cultivation, suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, and his originally calm face was instantly covered with tension.

His breathing became rapid, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, as if he could sense a huge crisis approaching. However, at this thrilling moment, his perception suddenly told him that Xueyao was not in danger of death.

He nodded slightly, indicating that he was quite satisfied with his judgment, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then, he took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing rhythm, slowly closed his eyes, and re-entered the state of cultivation, as if isolating himself from the whole world.

Xue Yao set out from Liancheng with Su Xin, Xue Yu and others. During their travels, when they came near Jingkou Village, they accidentally met an old man.

The old man looked quite mysterious, his beard and eyebrows were all white, and his face revealed an air of having experienced many hardships. He was actually Xun Zhongze's clone.

Not only that, Xue Yao later met the old man with white hair and beard several times, and these old men were all clones of Xun Zhongze without exception.

There is also the guardian of the hall in the Yaolin Secret Garden, who only exists as a shadow and is also Xun Zhongze's clone.

When Xue Yao first saw the phantom, he secretly made a decision in his heart that he would find a way to heal its soul.

Xue Yao found many rare treasures, mobilized the power of revelation, and refined an energy ball filled with spiritual energy, which she wrapped around the phantom and continuously nourished it. Gradually, the phantom became clearer and clearer, and even began to feel solid.

On the eve of Xue Yao's ascension, the phantom had been raised to be as real as a real person.

Memories of the past kept flooding into Xueyao's mind like a tide, and her thoughts became clearer and clearer.

She recalled every moment she had spent with Xun Zhongze. He always looked calm, as if nothing in the world could stir up any ripples in his heart. However, whenever a critical moment came, Xun Zhongze would always step forward silently to help her and her companions solve their problems.

Xueyao began to realize that Xun Zhongze seemed to have known her identity and mission from the beginning and had been protecting her in secret. This silent care and support made Xueyao feel warm in her heart.

Just as Xueyao was immersed in her memories, suddenly, a melodious flute sound reached her ears. Xueyao's heart was suddenly shocked. Wasn't this familiar tune played by Xun Zhongze?

Her consciousness was like a wild horse, galloping in the direction of the flute sound. Passing through layers of clouds and mist, finally, in a place shrouded in mist, Xue Yao saw the familiar figure.

Xun Zhongze was still holding the bamboo flute, standing in the clouds and mist, playing it slowly.

In fact, before this, Xue Yao had already understood the situation within a thousand miles through the Tianxin Mirror, a divine artifact that could see through the heavens and earth and predict the future. So when she saw Xun Zhongze, she was not too surprised.

"Mr. Xun..." Xue Yao called softly, her voice very kind.

Xun Zhongze stopped playing the instrument after hearing Xueyao's call and slowly turned around. A faint smile appeared on his face, and that smile was as warm as the spring sunshine.

"God, you remember everything, right?" Xun Zhongze's voice was calm and gentle.

Xueyao nodded, her eyes full of gratitude.

Xun Zhongze then said with emotion: "Thank you for your hard work, God. You have gone through so many hardships along the way, but you are finally back."

Xue Yao looked at him with a smile and nodded heavily, "Master Xun, you have worked hard too. Thank you for your protection along the way!"

By this time, Xue Yao already knew that her previous life was the renowned Nine Heavens Goddess. Yaolin Secret Garden was originally the Nine Heavens Goddess's personal space.

Above the Nine Heavens, in that ice-carved and jade-built house, the woman who once lay on the cold jade bed was the Mother of Heaven, and the handsome man who always silently guarded her was the Way of Heaven.

While Xueyao was in seclusion, her spirit traveled to Longhua Mountain. The man and woman she saw in the scene on Longhua Mountain were actually them. And the python's father was actually one of the guards of the Goddess Temple.

The blue sea and deep abyss that Xue Yao and her companions once traveled to, the guardian of the ocean was herself, the Nine Heavens Goddess of that year.

The treasure chests that the old turtle handed over to her were all entrusted to the Sea God by an old friend 20,000 years ago. That old friend was also the Nine Heavens Goddess.

The cultivation of Yun Duoduo, Xue Yu, Su Xin and others has reached the primary god level. Although they are in the Yaolin Secret Garden, their hearts are always on Xue Yao.

At this time, they already knew that Xue Yao, who was originally the goddess of the Nine Heavens, had returned to the Nine Heavens after experiencing hardships in life after life, and was about to return to the position of goddess.

Pictures continued to flash through Xueyao's mind.

In the Plum Blossom Mountain of the human world, when Hong Feng'er was captured by Xue Yao and the man in black came to challenge her, Hong Feng'er suddenly disappeared. In fact, it was Ling Ziqian who let her go.

On Yunfeng Mountain, Xueyao's ancestor left behind a secret manual. That ancestor was Xueyao's mother.

The one who broke into the Secret Garden several times was not some shadow from the heavens. It was all Ling Ziqian's doing.

When Xue Yao ascended to heaven, countless creatures in heaven and on earth were looking up at her.

In the sky, Luo Yuheng, Zi Ling, Xue Qingchen, Ling Yun, and Nan Wuji were all very moved, not to mention Luo Feng.

In the cinema, Yunyouzi and everyone present were all in awe.

In the human world, the fifth day of the third lunar month has long been designated the Goddess Festival. On this day, every household holds a special ceremony in their own way to pay tribute to Xue Yao. Statues of the goddess everywhere emit a faint golden glow, and wherever there is a statue of the goddess, a sea of kneeling worshippers fills the air.
