The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"Stop beating around the bush, what happened?" Chen Xuan asked directly, seeing that the unknown mature woman was still beating around the bush.

"Alas! What does it matter if you know or not? You'll never get out..." After saying this, the soul consciousness fell silent and went into stillness.

"Hey, I'm so angry..." Chen Xuan slapped the piece of wood in his hand twice in anger.

"Waaah, stop, stop hitting me! I, I'll tell you!"

Chen Xuan: "......"

This world is insane! He just attacked a piece of wood?!

Subsequently, through the explanation of the soul entity, Chen Xuan learned everything.

It turns out that this soul was the original soul of the Tree of Life. Later, it was oppressed by the Heavenly Dao of this place, which made it constantly use the Tree of Life to give birth to countless geniuses of all races. After each golden age, it would sacrifice them all to the heavens and plunder all the energy of the world.

Then, after the Tree of Life recovers, it will continue to give birth to a golden age, continue to offer sacrifices to the heavens and devour all races, and so on, in an endless cycle.

After hearing this, Chen Xuan was completely stunned.

Damn it, Bixiao, where the hell did you get here?! This is usually a scene that only appears at the end of a novel, right? How come I'm already playing in a high-level match when I'm only at the Nascent Soul stage? I want to go home!

"Husband, what's wrong? Why is your face so pale!" Qing Lanyu, who was standing nearby, noticed that Chen Xuan's complexion was not right and immediately came over to ask him with concern.

However, Chen Xuan did not react at all, which terrified Qing Lanyu.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" Qing Lanyu was so anxious she was almost crying.

Hearing Qing Lanyu's voice, Chen Xuan came back to his senses and reassured her, "It's okay, I'm just a little shocked."

"Shocked? Shocked about what?" Qing Lanyu asked, puzzled.

"It's just that the truth of this world is hard to accept right now," Chen Xuan said, holding Qing Lanyu's hand to comfort her.

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Qing Lanyu immediately stopped crying. She looked up at Chen Xuan with excitement, as if to confirm that he was really alright.

"Husband, are you really alright?"

Chen Xuan nodded and said with a smile, "Of course, how could I be in trouble? Don't forget, I'm a Nascent Soul cultivator, this little thing is no problem for me!"

"Hmm, then, what is the truth about the world that you mentioned, my husband? Isn't this a secret realm?" Qing Lanyu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Chen Xuan was really alright, and then asked.

"The secret realm is just the surface. The real truth is that this place is a huge prison, imprisoning all the creatures in the secret realm, waiting to be harvested." Chen Xuan told Qing Lanyu the information that the unknown mature woman had given him.

"What!?" Qing Lanyu exclaimed in shock, "This, how is this possible!?"

Chen Xuan sighed and said, "That's probably true. Didn't you see that there's not a soul in this world? This is the recovery period after it was harvested, and no living beings have been introduced yet! We just happened to visit this place."

"Then, does that mean we'll never be able to get out?" Qing Lanyu asked anxiously.

Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Although this is a prison, there may be a way out, but we don't know how to do it yet."

"Then, what should we do?" Qing Lanyu asked, completely at a loss.

Chen Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Right now, we can only try to find a way to leave this place first, and then look for an opportunity to save this world."

"it's useless!"

The mature woman in the wood suddenly appeared, but her face was a little red, and it was unclear whether she had been hit earlier.

Chen Xuan turned his head and was also taken aback.

The woman was tall and slender, with long, glossy black hair cascading over her shoulders. Her eyes, like sparkling stars, shone with intelligence. Her skin was as white as jade, revealing an innate noble air.

In terms of appearance, she has delicate features, with long and thick eyebrows that form a beautiful arc. She has a high nose bridge, rosy lips, and a smooth chin, making her look dignified and elegant.

The mature woman wore a long, emerald-green dress, the hem of which swayed gently as she walked. The dress was embroidered with exquisite patterns, making her look like a fairy.

Yes, it's completely different from that willow tree.

But that's not the most crucial point. The most crucial point is that US stocks surged!

林柔

The mature woman clearly didn't notice Chen Xuan's gaze; she continued speaking to herself:

"I've seen plenty of geniuses, and none of them managed to get out. With your two mediocre talents, there's no way you'll ever leave here!"

"However, you're quite lucky. Right now, the Heavenly Dao is in a period of rest and recuperation. You little fish and shrimps are no match for it. You should be able to live a little longer, right? Until the next golden age!"

"Is there really no way to leave?"

"Impossible! Every move you make cannot escape the gaze of Heaven!"

"But even after we lifted your seal, the Heavenly Dao didn't come!"

"This... I don't know why either. No one has ever been able to break my seal before. Perhaps Heaven thinks you are too..." The older sister didn't finish her sentence; such words were a bit hurtful.

"..."

"System, can you find out about that woman, Bixiao? Is she still watching me?"

"Ding! Detection indicates that the host is being watched by an unknown entity!"

"Damn it, can you tell me who this unknown entity is? It's not the Heavenly Dao of this world, is it? You little bitch Bixiao, I didn't do anything to you, and you're so petty, just sending me here to be someone's snack!"

Chen Xuan mentally ranted.

Qing Lanyu, on the other hand, remained relatively calm, since with her cultivation level, she theoretically still had a chance to break through the barrier and escape.

"Hehe, I know what you're thinking. Don't think I can't see through your hiding your cultivation level. I've seen plenty of people stronger than you, and they won't get away!" The unknown mature woman seemed to have seen through something and said to the two of them.

This despicable man, how dare he treat his mother, the mother of his life, like this! He must be taught a lesson!

"Can't we leave?" Qing Lanyu was shocked. She never expected that her ability to conceal her cultivation level would be seen through!

She then secretly glanced at Chen Xuan and found that he was also thinking. She guessed that he was talking about hiding his cultivation level.

*Smack!* Chen Xuan picked up the piece of wood in his hand and struck it again.

"Stop... your hand!"

The mature woman immediately wilted. This time, Chen Xuan's actions were even more outrageous, although he didn't even know where he hit her...

"Alright, alright, stop wasting time. You actually believe what she says? Maybe she's just trying to fool us. Let's try to see if we can get out!"

After saying that, Chen Xuan, with the tree heartwood in one hand and the Qinglan Jade in the other, was about to go down the mountain to find the weak points of this small world.

"My husband, I... I can walk by myself!"

"That's more imposing, it feels like I'm kidnapping a virtuous woman to be my bandit queen, hahaha!"
