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

Watching Chen Xuan rush down the mountain, the azure sky above...

"..."

"Why? Why did things turn out this way? Huh? Is it so hard for me to give you a little bit of good fortune?! That lucky kid over there has already gotten a lot of good stuff, really!"

Then, Chen Xuan, who was descending the mountain, froze, because he received another telepathic message from Bi Xiao:

"You are not allowed to go down the mountain!"

Chen Xuan stared blankly at the sky.

"Grandma, what exactly do you mean? Please spare my life!"

"Get back here right now! That thing is a blessing I gave you, and I've already taken care of it. It's just waiting for you to take it, and then you come out right now! I have a 'small' thing to talk to you about!" Bixiao gritted her teeth in anger.

"Oh, you should have said so earlier! If you had, I would have gone without worry! Really!"

Chen Xuan shrugged and then carried the two women up the mountain.

Mysterious mature woman: "???"

Qinglan Yu: "???!!"

"Husband, he really does have some issues with his head. No, once we get out of here, I'll definitely find someone to teach him a lesson! Let's go up the mountain then. We've never been to the summit before, so maybe there are some clues there!"

"Little Wood, do you know what's on the mountaintop?"

"Who is this little wooden block! I am the Tree of Life, who has nurtured countless geniuses, and everyone respectfully calls me the Mother of Life!"

"Snapped!"

"Are you being dishonest?"

"You...you're too despicable! There's absolutely no way I'll submit to you!" the illusory figure of the mature woman roared.

"Snapped!"

"I'm already honest, please let me go!"

The unknown mature woman gritted her teeth in anger, yet was utterly helpless. If she weren't so weak, she would have slapped this disrespectful brat to death long ago!

'I never imagined that I, the mother of all life, would face such a day. How tragic!!!!'

"Tell me, what's your name?"

"Mother of Life".

Chen Xuan: "......"

"So you don't have a name? That won't do. How about I give you one?"

"Hehe, I don't need it!"

"Since you are a tree, the surname Lin suits you very well. Hmm, you look so gentle and delicate. From now on, you will be called Lin Rou!"

"Pah! Who wants you, little brat, to name them!"

"Huh? Little one!!!!??"

"I have an almost limitless lifespan, while you are just a little brat, nothing more!"

"Fine, fine, fine!" Chen Xuan laughed in anger.

"You should be glad you don't have a physical form right now, otherwise I would have shown you why flowers are so red!"

"Hmph, who said I don't have a physical body? Isn't what you're holding in your hand the one?" Lin Rou was even more disdainful. No matter how heaven-defying Chen Xuan was, he couldn't possibly destroy his true body. Besides, the Heavenly Dao was watching from above!

"Oh, so this is your true form!" Chen Xuan said, then hugged the piece of wood in his arms.

"You... I have never seen such a shameless person as you!" Lin Rou's face was flushed.

Suddenly, Chen Xuan had a flash of inspiration and directly summoned his peach blossom tree immortal soul.

"Is this... your immortal soul, my husband? The peach tree is so beautiful!" Qing Lanyu exclaimed.

However, she soon noticed something amiss with the tree.

Why does this tree look a bit improper? Why are all the stunning beauties reflected in it? Wait, why am I even up there?

Just as she was about to ask Chen Xuan, she realized that Lin Rou was also reflected in the image, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

Could it be... that my husband is a heretical cultivator? Does he specifically target stunningly beautiful women?!

"Alright, you stay here and protect me. I'm about to do something big!"

"Wh-what big thing?" Qing Lanyu already had a slight premonition. Chen Xuan's immortal soul was a peach tree, and the life tree in front of him seemed to be just right for his immortal soul... In other words, Lin Rou's life was not long to come!

"What else could it be but a big deal? It's simply to show this stupid woman what I'm capable of!"

After saying that, Chen Xuan immediately activated his cultivation technique and began to refine Lin Rou, intending to make her his immortal spirit. In this way, under his influence, she could reveal her true form and then transform into human form!

That way, she'll beg for mercy, hehehe!

"You!!!" Lin Rou finally understood Chen Xuan's plan and was filled with shock and anger.

"Despicable! You shameless bastard!" Lin Rou was completely panicked at this point. She never expected that Chen Xuan would actually dare to refine her.

"Haha, who told you to be so arrogant before!" Chen Xuan laughed loudly, his peach blossom fairy soul dancing around Lin Rou, as beautiful as an elf.

"Boy, do you know what you're doing? I am the true form of the Tree of Life. Once you refine me, you will be condemned by the Heavenly Dao!" Lin Rou roared.

"What's there to be afraid of? We're not without backing!" Chen Xuan said nonchalantly.

"You!!" Lin Rou was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

At this moment, she was gripped by deep fear. She felt her life force rapidly draining away, drawing her towards the peach tree in front of her.

"No!!!!" Lin Rou screamed in terror, but her voice was completely drowned out by Chen Xuan's technique and could not be heard.

I never imagined that she, a mere avatar of a Celestial King, would die at the hands of such a junior! It's all the fault of this damned Heavenly Dao, which drained too much of her energy!

"Husband, are you really going to refine the Tree of Life?" Qing Lanyu asked worriedly. Chen Xuan's image seemed to have been somewhat tarnished in her eyes.

Chen Xuan keenly noticed the change in Qing Lanyu's expression.

"Alright, alright, I won't kill her. I'm just letting her become one with me!"

"Merged into one?" Qing Lanyu's cheeks flushed instantly before she realized what she meant.

"Isn't this still making her a sacrifice?"

"No, no, no, I made a tiny improvement to that technique. None of my sacrifices will die. Instead, they will become part of my immortal spirits and be used by me."

"Wha, what?!"

Chen Xuan was too lazy to say more and tossed a cultivation manual to Qing Lanyu.

"And you, stop yelling. You're scaring yourself. Take a good look at yourself and see if you're going to die! This is an opportunity I'm giving you so I can take you away from this world!"

Unfortunately, Lin Rou didn't listen and continued to do things her own way.

Fortunately, she had no ability to resist and was quickly absorbed by Chen Xuan. The entire tree heart disappeared, and Lin Rou's voice came to an abrupt end.

Chen Xuan's own aura also began to erupt, and in an instant, his cultivation level reached the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage!
