Infiltrating the world of cultivation

In the quiet mountain forest, Wang Chao lay on Little Grey's back, feeling as if a million mud horses were galloping through his heart.

He didn't ask where he was, which led to him wandering around in the mountains all morning, surrounded by nothing but trees.

The brick was too large, so the dynasty stored it in the nine-story ancient pagoda. The storage space could not hold the brick, only the nine-story ancient pagoda could.

Wang Chao had been walking around here all morning. Although he wasn't the one who walked, the monotonous trees were still getting on his nerves.

These trees are quite old; they look very ancient.

Judging from the fallen leaves piled up on the ground, these trees are quite old.

Clearly, this is a pristine forest rarely visited by humans.

However, the dynasty did not detect any spiritual energy, indicating that this was just an ordinary diamond forest.

However, Wang Chao felt that the vegetation here seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

It's important to know that different countries and regions have subtle differences in vegetation cover and species.

In the beginning, the dynasty traveled from the Tang Empire through many different regions.

Since I have this sudden feeling, it means I must have seen it somewhere before.

But Wang Chao couldn't remember where he had seen it before, so he simply walked in one direction.

As darkness fell, Wang Chao's expression shifted. He sensed spiritual energy; there were cultivators ahead!

"Fangtang Immortal, we've been walking for so long, where is there any tree that blocks out the sky? Was that villager who reported to the authorities trying to trick us?"

In the crowd, a bearded man shouted loudly, looking somewhat impatient. Clearly, he felt he had been deceived.

"Exactly! How could a villager travel this far? We innate martial artists and powerful cultivators like Immortal Fangtang have taken this long. How could a mere villager possibly be faster than us?"

There was a refined middle-aged man, who also had a slight frown.

"If you take someone's money, you have to do their bidding. Since we've been entrusted by the village chief, we have to do his bidding."

It's getting late, so let's rest here on this mountain for the night.

Tomorrow, we'll circle the mountain again from the east side. If we still don't find it, it's not our fault.

Master Fangtang was a cultivator with a large head and fleshy ears, whose cultivation level was at the fourth stage of Qi Refining.

"Once upon a time, there was a mountain, and on the mountain was a temple, and in the temple lived an old monk. The old monk said to the young monk, 'Once upon a time, there was a mountain, and on the mountain was a temple…'"

As the group continued on their way, a ragged monk appeared, blocking their path. The monk had a square mouth and thick lips, and he did have a somewhat dignified appearance.

"Hey, little monk, have you ever seen a tree so big it blocks out the sky in these mountains?"

Upon seeing the monk, the bearded man stepped forward, called him over, and inquired about the mysteries of the mountain.

"Are you talking nonsense, benefactor? This mountain range is completely visible; where would such a large tree come from? Could it be that you have been deceived?"

The young monk sneered at the crowd, and they felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this, as they also believed they had been deceived.

"We'll go up the mountain tonight and head back tomorrow."

Master Fangtang still insisted on his previous ideas.

In his view, whether or not he found any big trees was not important; what mattered was receiving the village chief's reward.

The main purpose of staying overnight is to buy some time so that the village chief won't use this as an excuse to breach the contract.

Wang Chao had no choice but to follow the others up the mountain.

That's right, this ragged little monk is Wang Chao, who has mastered seventy-two transformations after cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.

It wasn't that he had this perverse sense of humor, but rather that his previous face had already appeared once at Black Mountain Temple, and if it appeared again, it might be detrimental to his future actions.

Upon hearing their conversation, Wang Chao suddenly realized the origin of this place.

The reason it looks so familiar is because the dynasty has been here before. This is the border of the Great Qin Empire, the Black Mountain Temple where the strange Yin-Yang tree and Ling'er are!

Originally, Wang Chao wanted to persuade these people to go back, but after seeing Fang Tang Shangren's appearance, he gave up the idea.

Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem like someone who would listen to advice, so Wang Chao gave up the idea of ​​persuading everyone to go back.

Moreover, with more people around, he is less likely to be exposed.

That strange tree is at most at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. With Wang Chao and Little Grey around, dealing with it shouldn't be too difficult.

“Huh? Master Fangtang, it seems we don’t need to camp tonight. There’s a temple here where we can make do for the night.”

The refined middle-aged man pointed to Heishan Temple and greeted the crowd.

The crowd looked in the direction he was pointing, and there stood a temple on the mountaintop, with three large characters on it: Black Mountain Temple.

"This name is really strange. Black Mountain Temple on Black Mountain, could this place have been prosperous in the past? How did a temple get built in such a remote place?"

Some people have doubts about this.

Upon entering the temple, the group saw that the place was indeed somewhat dilapidated and looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

Everything inside the temple was covered in a thick layer of dust.

Wang Chao thought to himself, "They always do things so meticulously. These days, even monsters are starting to tolerate high-IQ crimes."

Upon entering the main hall, the group saw that many ancient Buddha statues had collapsed and were lying haphazardly on the ground. Cobwebs even hung from the corners of the hall, indicating that they had not been maintained for a long time.

"The other statues have all collapsed, so why is this one intact? And why is there no dust on it?"

This scene was so conspicuous that it was naturally spotted by someone with ulterior motives.

His appearance is also quite unique. His left half is a dark-faced, masculine figure with an imposing and domineering aura between his brows.

On the right, however, she is extremely graceful, with a captivating charm in her eyes and brows, like a fairy descended to earth. These two completely opposite images are blended together so cleverly.

When Wang Chao saw the statue again, he hesitated, wondering whether he should make a move at this moment. After all, he knew that this statue could transform.

This statue should be the original form of that strange tree. The only question is how big that strange tree would actually be if it were fully extended.

After all, although the dynasty knew that this strange tree possessed the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment stage, it had no idea whether it had any special abilities.

In the heart of the dynasty, the plan to take action had already been made. As soon as the time was right, it would strike a fatal blow without giving the enemy a chance to breathe, otherwise, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
