Jin Ling Xian Xia investigates the truth in deep space

"Whoosh, whoosh..." The wind and rain grew stronger and stronger, as if the heavens were angry and wanted to destroy everything in the world. Everyone struggled to hold on in the wind and rain, but in the end, they could not withstand the violent force of nature.

"Everyone be careful!" Lin Feng shouted loudly, but his voice was instantly drowned out by the wind and rain.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, forming a huge vortex that sucked them all in. Lin Feng felt that he had lost control of his body and was rolling in the turbulent flood.

"Help!" Lin Feng struggled desperately, but the fierce flood hit him mercilessly, making his consciousness gradually blurred.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Feng was washed to the foot of the mountain by the flood and trapped in a large tree fork. He slowly opened his eyes and found himself in danger. He was soaked and the pain from his wounds made him groan.

"Oh, poor child." A gentle voice came. Lin Feng looked at the big tree in front of him in surprise. He saw its branches and leaves swaying gently, and it turned into a human shape.

"Are you talking?" Lin Feng asked weakly.

"It was me who saved you." The tree spirit replied with a smile.

Lin Feng was filled with gratitude: "Thank you, fairy, for saving my life."

The tree spirit rescued Lin Feng and carried him to a cave not far away. The flickering fire in the cave warmed Lin Feng's cold body.

"You should rest for a while and recover some strength." said the tree spirit.

Lin Feng nodded, closed his eyes and began to adjust his breathing. After a while, he felt much better and asked, "Fairy, why did you save me?"

The tree spirit smiled softly: "Friends of mankind, I have a deep bond with humans, so I will not stand by and watch them die."

Lin Feng asked curiously, "I've heard that when people brew fine wine, they give you the first glass to taste, the first pot of tea they brew, they let you drink first, and when they raise the first chicken, the first fish they catch in the river, and the first pig they raise, they all offer you first. Why is that?"

A trace of memory flashed in the tree spirit's eyes. "Long ago, the people of this land were kind and simple. They respected nature and revered life. And I have always protected them. When they harvested, they were always grateful and shared their joy with me."

Lin Feng sighed: "So that's how it is. It's really a beautiful friendship."

The tree spirit looked at Lin Feng and said, "Child, you don't look like an ordinary mortal. Are you cultivating immortality?"

Lin Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Fairy, you have a keen eye. I am indeed on the path to becoming an immortal, but now I have encountered this difficulty and I don't know what to do."

The tree spirit pondered for a moment: "The path to immortality is difficult and requires firm belief and an unyielding will. This may be a test for you."

Lin Feng's eyes were firm: "Fairy, what you said is absolutely right. I will never give up."

At this moment, a sinister laugh came from outside the cave: "Haha, I didn't expect to meet an immortal cultivator here, and a tree spirit!"

Lin Feng and the tree spirit's expressions changed, and they saw an old man in a black robe appear at the entrance of the cave.

"Who are you?" Lin Feng asked vigilantly.

The old man in black robe said sinisterly: "I am here specifically to seize your spiritual power to help me practice!"

After saying that, the old man waved his hands and a powerful black mist rushed towards them.

Lin Feng and the tree spirit quickly cast spells to resist, but the old man's skills were too strong and they gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"What should I do?" Lin Feng was anxious.

The tree spirit gritted its teeth and said, "I'll hold him back, and you take this opportunity to escape!"

Lin Feng shouted, "No, how can I abandon you and escape alone!"

"Stop talking nonsense and go!" The tree spirit used all its strength to push Lin Feng out of the cave.

Lin Feng looked at the scene in the cave, his heart filled with unwillingness, but he knew that he could not act impulsively at this time, so he turned around and ran into the mountains.

While escaping, Lin Feng kept thinking about countermeasures. Suddenly, he remembered that he had seen a formation in an ancient book that could restrain evil spells.

Lin Feng stopped and began to set up a formation on the ground.

At this time, the tree spirit was seriously injured and fell to the ground.

The old man in black robe said triumphantly: "Today is the day you die!"

Just as he was about to deal a fatal blow to the tree spirit, Lin Feng rushed back to the cave.

"Don't even think about hurting her!" Lin Feng shouted and activated the formation.

The formation emitted a dazzling light, trapping the black-robed old man inside.

The old man was horrified and struggled desperately: "Boy, how dare you plot against me!"

Lin Feng sneered: "Those who do evil will eventually perish!"

As the power of the formation continued to grow, the old man in black robe was eventually completely eliminated.

Lin Feng ran to the tree spirit and helped her up: "Fairy, are you okay?"

The tree spirit said weakly, "Thanks to you, we are all safe."

After this ordeal, Lin Feng's relationship with the tree spirit deepened. The tree spirit decided to teach Lin Feng some secrets of cultivating immortals to help him improve his cultivation.

Under the guidance of the tree spirit, Lin Feng practiced hard and his skills improved day by day.

However, the peaceful days did not last long. One day, a strange light suddenly appeared in the sky, and then a mysterious voice sounded in Lin Feng's mind: "Go to Xianmen Mountain and find your opportunity."

Lin Feng knew that new challenges were coming.

He bid farewell to the tree spirit and embarked on a journey to Xianmen Mountain. Along the way, Lin Feng encountered attacks from various demons and monsters, but with his strong will and superb magic, he escaped danger time and time again.

Finally, he arrived at the foot of Xianmen Mountain. Looking at the towering peak, Lin Feng took a deep breath and began to climb.

The mountain road was rugged and shrouded in mist. Lin Feng walked forward cautiously. Suddenly, a huge white tiger jumped out from the nearby woods and blocked his way.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into Xianmen Mountain!" Baihu roared.

Lin Feng bowed and said, "I am Lin Feng, and I have come here to seek opportunities according to the mysterious voice."

Baihu looked him up and down and said, "If you want to pass, you must take three of my moves first!"

Lin Feng was not afraid: "Please teach me!"

The white tiger suddenly pounced at Lin Feng, but Lin Feng dodged to the side and quickly fought back. A fierce battle ensued between the man and the tiger.

After three moves, Baihu stopped and said: "Yes, you are qualified to go up the mountain."

Lin Feng continued to move forward and finally arrived at a palace on the top of the mountain.

The palace gate slowly opened, and an old man with an immortal look appeared before him.

"Lin Feng, your coming is within my expectations." said the old man.

Lin Feng bowed respectfully: "May I ask, Senior, what opportunity is there here?"

The old man smiled slightly: "The opportunity lies within you. Whether you can comprehend it depends on your luck."

After saying this, the old man disappeared, and a shining stone door appeared in the palace.

Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, and suddenly it started to rain heavily, then he resolutely walked into the stone gate.

Inside the stone gate is a space filled with mysterious power. Lin Feng experienced various illusions and tests here, and his mind was greatly tempered.

He walked into the stone door carefully. The cave was dark and damp, exuding a mysterious atmosphere. Lin Feng was a little scared, but thinking of the heavy rain outside, he had no choice but to go in.

As he walked, Lin Feng suddenly noticed a strange light flickering on the cave wall. He walked closer and saw some strange patterns and words. Although Lin Feng could not read, these patterns seemed to have a magical power that attracted his attention.

Just when Lin Feng was watching intently, a voice sounded in his ear: "Boy, you are finally here."

Lin Feng was startled and looked around, but he couldn't see anyone. "Who? Who's talking?" Lin Feng asked tremblingly.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I am the owner of this cave. The fact that you can come here means that you are destined to be with me." The voice sounded again.

Lin Feng calmed himself down and asked, "Senior, what does the pattern in this cave mean?"

"This is the plant cultivation method—the five-step method for awakening plant spirits. If you can comprehend its secrets, you can embark on the path of cultivation and change your destiny."

Lin Feng was overjoyed and quickly said, "Senior, please give me some advice."

"Listen up, kid. Plant evolution has gone through four major stages: the fungus-algae era, the fern era, the gymnosperm era, and the angiosperm era. Each of these four stages has its own characteristics and representative plants, which are the foundation of immortal cultivation."

"During the Age of Fungi and Algae, from 35 billion years ago to 4 million years ago, Earth's plants were primarily primitive, lower fungi and algae. This period encompassed the period when bacteria and cyanobacteria dominated, and later, eukaryotic algae such as red algae and green algae emerged. Although simple, plants during this period were the source of all life. From them, you must understand the primordial power of life."

Lin Feng asked doubtfully, "Senior, how do I comprehend the primordial power of life?"

"Close your eyes and feel with your heart. Imagine yourself in ancient times, surrounded by a chaotic ocean where bacteria and algae are thriving and growing. Feel their faint breath, which is the primordial force of life."

Lin Feng followed his instructions and closed his eyes, trying to feel. At first, he felt nothing, but under the guidance of the sound, he gradually seemed to see the tiny lives in the ocean beating.

"Very good, son. Next comes the Age of Ferns. Starting 4 million years ago, some green algae evolved into primitive land-dwelling vascular plants, the ferns. Although these plants lack true roots and leaves, they possess vascular tissue and are capable of living on land. Learn from them the power of resilience and adaptability."

"Senior, how can I understand this power of tenacity and adaptability?"

“Imagine the naked fern growing tenaciously on the barren land, braving wind and rain, yet still standing. Feel their indomitable spirit.”

Lin Feng closed his eyes again, and the scene of the naked fern surviving in a difficult environment emerged in his mind, and a feeling of admiration surged in his heart.

"Now, we enter the age of gymnosperms. From the Permian to the early Cretaceous, about 1.4 million years, gymnosperms replaced ferns as the dominant land plant. Gymnosperms are the earliest seed plants and possess complex reproductive structures. You need to understand the power of reproduction and inheritance from them."

Lin Feng asked: "Senior, how can we comprehend the power of reproduction and inheritance?"

"Imagine the seeds of gymnosperms carried by the wind, taking root, and reproducing. They pass on their life, and the cycle continues."

Lin Feng was immersed in his imagination, as if he saw countless seeds blooming with new life on the earth.

"Finally, there's the age of angiosperms. Starting from the Cretaceous period, angiosperms developed rapidly and replaced gymnosperms as the dominant group of plants. Angiosperms are the most diverse, widely distributed, and adaptable plant group on Earth. You need to understand the power of diversity and integration from this."

Lin Feng frowned: "The power of diversity and integration? This is too difficult to understand."

"Don't worry, kid. Imagine the myriad forms of angiosperms, how they blend in with their environment and coexist harmoniously with other organisms. Feel that tolerance and change."

Lin Feng pondered for a long time and finally had some insights.

"Okay, kid. You have already gained a preliminary understanding of the secret of the five-step method of awakening plants. From now on, it depends on your own luck." The voice gradually disappeared.

Lin Feng opened his eyes and found that the light on the cave wall had also dimmed. He took a deep breath and walked out of the cave.

The rain outside had stopped, and the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves onto the ground. Lin Feng looked at the mountains and forests before him, his heart filled with hope.

From then on, Lin Feng came to this cave every day to practice. He communicated with the plants and felt their power. As time went by, Lin Feng's cultivation gradually improved.

However, the road to becoming an immortal is not always smooth. One day, Lin Feng encountered a powerful monster in the mountains.

The monster lunged at Lin Feng with its fangs bared, and he was startled, but soon calmed down. He used the power he had learned from the Five Steps of Plant Spiritual Awakening to engage in a fierce battle with the monster.

Lin Feng cast various spells, summoning vines to restrain the monster and commanding flowers and plants to attack the monster's weaknesses. However, the monster was too powerful and broke through Lin Feng's attacks again and again.

At the critical moment, Lin Feng remembered the tenacity and perseverance of plants during their evolution. He gritted his teeth and persisted, constantly adjusting his tactics. Finally, Lin Feng found the monster's fatal flaw and defeated it in one fell swoop.

After this battle, Lin Feng realized that his cultivation was far from enough. He practiced even harder, constantly exploring the deeper mysteries of the Five-Step Plant Spiritual Awakening Method.

During a training session, Lin Feng suddenly fell into trouble. The spiritual power in his body became disordered, as if it was going to devour him.

"Am I going to go crazy like this?" Lin Feng's heart was filled with despair.

At this moment, a familiar voice rang in his ears: "Boy, stay calm, recall the evolution of plants, and feel the power of life."

Lin Feng followed the guidance of the voice, reorganized his spiritual power, and finally successfully survived the crisis.

After a long period of training, Lin Feng finally became a powerful immortal cultivator. He walked out of the mountains and forests and used his own strength to protect the peace of the area.

The five-step method of awakening the plants in the cave also became an eternal secret and treasure in his heart.

When he walked out of the stone gate, the aura on his body had undergone a drastic change.

Suddenly, the scene of his senior brothers and sisters struggling in the fierce flood flashed through his mind. Their whereabouts are now unknown...
