Chapter 686

"It's..." Li Fan frowned slightly, as if he was trying to remember.

Ximen Yu stared at him intently, listening attentively.

"I can't remember." After a long time, Li Fan shrugged and said helplessly.

"You..." Ximen Yu's face froze, "How can you forget such a strange thing so easily?"

He looked at Li Fan with disbelief.

"Fellow Taoist Ximen, why don't you tell me what this dead branch is. Maybe I'll remember it while you're talking." Li Fan suggested with a smile.

Ximen Yu narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, and his gaze swept back and forth on Li Fan.

Li Fan, on the other hand, was not afraid at all, and looked at him calmly.

Seemingly uncertain of Li Fan's strength, Ximen Yu finally chose not to act rashly.

Turning his body, he redisplayed the dead branch behind him in front of Li Fan.

After a moment of silence, he said, "In fact, I don't know the origin of this thing. At that time, my progress in researching the leylines hit a bottleneck."

"Under the rule of the Ten Thousand Immortals League, the power of the earth veins is firmly locked by the protective magic circle covering the whole territory. It is extremely difficult to use and research without authorization. After trying many methods, it is still difficult to find a breakthrough point. Just when I was about to change my research direction..."

"About more than two years ago, the power of the leylines here suddenly rioted for some reason. It seems that a leyline disaster that could destroy a state occurred thousands of miles away. The chain reaction caused. The opportunity to absorb the overflowing power of the earth's veins."

"And this dead branch is what I discovered from the power of the earth's veins."

Ximen Yu spoke slowly, but Li Fan was thoughtful after hearing this.

"Two years ago, it seemed to be the time point when the scarlet flames burned the sea. Is it Hongxi who forcibly extracted the influence of the earth veins in order to force out the red flames hidden in the earth veins?"

The mysterious and yellow veins are connected as one.Even though they are thousands of miles apart, they may affect each other.Previously in Congyunhai, there was a sunken island, which surfaced from the bottom of the sea under the influence of "Hundred Mountains Turning into Flat Rivers" in the distance.

And the abnormal movement of the earth veins observed by Ximen Yu here may be caused by the aftermath of the battle with Chi Yan.

Li Fan looked at the dead branches that were still spraying out the power of the earth veins, and asked a little puzzled: "The power of the earth veins is extremely pure. How could there be dead branches caught in it? There are only a few ordinary trees in the depths of the earth veins." After a while, it will be crushed into dust by strong pressure. Where does this dead branch come from, not only can it last forever in the earth veins, but it can also attract and absorb the power of the imprisoned earth veins?"

Li Fanfu looked at Ximen Yu again: "The ground veins here are changing, presumably the Ten Thousand Immortals League has not noticed it yet. Otherwise, it is about the safety of the protection formation, and they will definitely send people to solve the hidden dangers here."

Ximen Yu's face changed slightly, but he didn't refute.

"This dead branch does have some kind of magical power. It seems to have the same root as the earth veins, so I'll take a small sample here for research, and it will only be regarded as the normal fluctuations of the earth veins themselves."

The power of the earth veins erupting from the dead branches seems to be intermittent and contains a certain pattern.At this moment, it gradually weakened, and finally no energy from the earth veins flowed out.

Ximen Yu carefully put away the jade bottle.

"Same origin as the earth's veins?" Li Fan savored this sentence carefully.

Ximen Yu took out a stone slab from the storage ring.It seems to be peeled off from a certain rock wall, and the traces are extremely ancient.

The lines are also quite abstract, but you can roughly understand the content it depicts.

Many small dots represent human beings.Worship and live on the earth.

In the ground, there is a big fallen tree growing.

Tree roots are densely packed and take root in every corner of the earth.

The crown of the tree goes deep into the ground, reaching the center of the earth.

"This is what I found in a geological fault when I was studying the changes in the ancient and modern terrain. It should be left by the ancient mortal race."

"It's not just this mural. I have found similar records of ancient people in various places in the Xuanhuang world."

"I suspect that the so-called earth veins are derived from the roots of this ancient tree. And my dead branch belongs to that ancient tree."

Ximen Yu explained.

"Although the information left behind by mortals is extremely crude, and it is seen by mortals, it may not be the whole picture. But because it belongs to mortals, we cultivators tend to ignore it by default. Therefore, it should be erased The records can survive." Ximen Yu said with a sneer.

"A tree of earth veins..." Li Fan touched his chin.

"No." Suddenly, he shook his head.

"Although it is very similar to what I saw in the illusion back then, it was still a little different." Li Fan said firmly.

Ximen Yu was not surprised either.After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's possible that the ancient tree you saw was even older."

"It may be the source of the tree of the earth's veins."

Li Fan was surprised: "The tree of the earth's veins also has a source?"

Ximen Yu took out black stones from nowhere and crushed the dead branches that were scattered on the ground.The black powder was quickly absorbed by the dead branches, and it seemed to become more vibrant.

"It is said that in the beginning of the world, there was only one mother tree, which was in charge of the life of the world."

"Great changes happened later, and the mother tree was severely damaged. Some branches fell from it. It fell into the world."

"One of them turned into an ancient tree."

Ximen Yu looked at the carefully cared for withered branches lovingly, and said slowly.

A gleam flashed in Li Fan's eyes: "How did fellow Taoist Ximen know about this? It's really unheard of."

Ximen Yu's eyes were fixed on the dead branch, but he didn't answer.

Li Fan froze for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Ah, after fellow daoist said this, I seem to remember it. It was here at the beginning, and I met that dead branch."

After drawing the terrain of Tianling Prefecture casually, Li Fan marked a location.

Only then did Ximen Yu withdraw his gaze from looking at the dead branch, keeping the location firmly in his mind.Then erase the map.

"Times have changed. I have returned to my hometown several times over the years, but I have never seen that dead tree again. So fellow Taoist Ximen, don't get your hopes up too much." Li Fan warned.

Ximen Yu smiled: "Of course such rare objects are hard to find. But I have always been lucky. After I finish the research on the theory of terrestrial veins, I will definitely try my luck."

"Then wish fellow Taoist Ximen success in advance!" Li Fan cupped his fists and was about to leave.

"Fellow Daoist Han Wuyou, right?" Ximen Yu threw a communication talisman over, "I feel like you and I are destined for each other. Keep this thing, maybe we will meet again in the future."

Li Fan put away the talisman and didn't stay any longer.

After his figure disappeared, the cave gate was closed again.

Ximen Yu frowned deeply: "There are trees in the world, and life is sold day and night..."

"Is it possible that it still exists in the world?"
