Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

"Master, my time is running out. Here is what you want."

As Liu Ling spoke, a stone platform suddenly appeared beside the willow tree.

A black box was placed in the center of the stone platform.

The stone platform was surrounded by intricate rune lines, which occasionally flashed with faint electric light.

Lingyun observed that the flashing of these runes seemed to follow a certain pattern.

“Master, this box was left by you back then. You repeatedly told me that when you returned, I must give it to you. But getting this box will not be easy.”

As you can see, these rune lines around us contain immense power, and these are the seals you set yourself back then. Only when you find the right method can you break these seals.

Liu Ling reminded her.

Ling Yun frowned slightly, staring at the black box and the seals around it.

Indeed, as Liu Ling said, the seals around the area were indeed created by her.

But I have absolutely no memory of it.

but……

Even without those memories, breaking the seal here would be as simple as lifting a hand.

Thinking this way, Ling Yun did just that.

She raised her hand, and spiritual energy swirled around it. She poured the spiritual energy into the runes, and one rune lit up. Then she poured in another rune with spiritual energy, and it lit up again.

The moment she channeled her spiritual power into the final rune, a powerful electric current suddenly surged from the rune's circuitry.

In an instant, all the lightning on the rune lines converged on the black box, which slowly opened, emitting a soft light that illuminated the entire stone platform.

Finally, the light converged on the black box, which slowly opened, releasing a blinding beam of light.

Then, the beam of light dissipated, and a jade pendant flew out from it.

Looking at the jade pendant, a blurry image appeared in Ling Yun's mind.

Even so, she knew very well that the person in the picture was herself.

But what is she saying in the video?

She could neither hear nor see clearly.

Reaching out to take the jade pendant, a warm sensation emanated from it.

"As expected, no matter what, the master is still the master."

Seeing her master break the seal and obtain the jade pendant so easily, Liu Ling was happy for her master.

"you……"

Liu Ling's figure gradually became transparent.

Ling Yun knew that his life force was rapidly disappearing.

But she was powerless to help Liu Ling.

Because Liu Ling is not an ordinary willow tree; he is a tree of life.

The Tree of Life is the source of life force, containing extremely rich and pure life energy.

Even though she was incredibly powerful, she was powerless against the Tree of Life.

For some reason, I felt inexplicably sad.

"Master, don't worry, I haven't really disappeared, I'm just continuing to exist in another way."

As she spoke, Liu Ling's gaze fell on the herb.

Ling Yun understood that the Tree of Life intended for this herb to take on its mission.

Ling Yun followed Liu Ling's gaze.

The herb beside the stone platform emitted a faint glow, as if it sensed the mission that was about to be carried out.

She frowned slightly, knowing that this might be a way for Liu Ling to continue her existence, but she felt inexplicably reluctant to let go.

“Liu Ling, you are the Tree of Life. Even if you can survive as a medicinal herb, it probably cannot bear the burden.”

The inheritance of the Tree of Life is not something that just anyone can bear.

Not to mention a single medicinal herb!

Liu Ling's face was pale and bloodless, and her gaze toward the medicinal herb was very gentle.

The voice gradually weakened, but remained steady as it said:

“Master, the cycle of life will take away some of the past, and a new form will bring a new beginning. I will suppress the power of life and wait for the little grass to grow.”

At that time, perhaps a new opportunity will arise, and he may awaken again.

He didn't say those last words.

Because even he himself couldn't guarantee whether he would eventually awaken.

Ling Yun said nothing.

She knew very well that Liu Ling's time had come to an end.

"Master, I want to ask you for a favor."

Liu Ling pleaded.

"Don't worry, I will protect it until it can stand on its own."

She has no memory of Liu Ling, but she is connected to him.

Without Liu Ling saying anything, she understood what Liu Ling meant and spoke without hesitation.

A relieved smile appeared on Liu Ling's face, and her figure became increasingly transparent, like a candle flickering in the wind.

"Master, thank you. It seems that Liu Ling owes you even more."

Liu Ling smiled as he looked at Ling Yun, as if he were saying many words of thanks to his master.

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Ling gradually dissipated, and the life force around her instantly became much weaker.

Ling Yun stood there, gazing at the spot where Liu Ling had disappeared for a long time, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Then, the surrounding life force swept in like a powerful tornado, and then landed on the herb.

She slowly turned around and looked at the herb, her eyes filled with an unprecedented firmness and tenderness.

She gently crouched down and stretched out her hand to set up a spiritual energy shield around the herbs to prevent external interference and harm.

As he watched the life force slowly flow into the herb, Ling Yun couldn't help but look up.

"It looks like this little guy won't be able to absorb it all in a short time."

As he spoke, Ling Yun built a simple hut next to the lifeless willow tree, resting there while occasionally channeling his spiritual power into the herb to help it absorb life force as quickly as possible.

At the same time, he also studied the jade pendant.

"Little Blackie, is this the treasure you spoke of that's related to me?"

[Yes, sir. It's shown on the system panel; that's the item.]

Ling Yun carefully examined the jade pendant. It resembled something else, but it was not hers.

"What use is this thing to that kid Baili Chengfeng?"

This jade pendant does indeed contain a great deal of power, but she can sense that this power is not something that kid can withstand.

So, ruling out that possibility, she really couldn't think of any use this thing would have for that kid Baili Chengfeng.

"Boss, this jade pendant is the seventh key to the miracle."

"Is this jade pendant the seventh key to that miracle?"

Ling Yun was somewhat surprised.

They collected all six keys, but after combining them, there was no trace of the seventh key.

If it weren't for Xiao Heizi saying that this treasure was...

[Boss, yes and no.]

Hearing Xiao Heizi's answer, Ling Yun was speechless.

What does "yes and no" mean?

Is her question difficult to answer?

This system is getting more and more useless.

Give me a definite answer.

[Dude, I really don't know the answer to this. This is the information the system provided.]

Xiao Heizi was on the verge of tears.

It was clearly an omnipotent system, but after following this powerful figure, it discovered that many things were beyond its comprehension.

It even required this big shot to explain it.

If this gets out and other systems find out, how will they view it?
