Without a heroic spirit, I can only end it myself.

"Jianmu Shuxin?"

What Taoists call building wood and ladder to heaven.

Jiang He knew something about it. During his several lives in the Taixuan world, he had heard many legends about the ancient heaven...

In the legendary era, Taixuan did not divide the world into states, but had two extremely vast continents that nurtured endless creatures.

Surrounding the two continents, there are not only countless large and small islands.

There is also the Heavenly Court of Immortals and Gods that governs the East, and the Buddha Spiritual Mountains that transform the West.

According to legend, the Eastern Heaven is built on the sky and is isolated from the mortal world.

Those immortal gods live in the fairy world and do not personally manage the mortal clans. Instead, they select some creatures and name them emperors to act as their agents in the mortal world.

As the son of the immortal gods, the emperor traveled to and from the mortal world through the ladder to heaven.

The sacred tree named Jianmu is the ladder that connects heaven and earth.

Until the end of the legend, the Immortal Courtyard collapsed, the Lingshan Mountain disappeared, and the wooden ladder to heaven also shattered and disappeared into the legend.

Since then, Taixuan has gone from legend to dynasty. The spiritual energy has declined, the path to immortality has been cut off, and the immortal gods have also disappeared.

Only the emperor who was ordered by the former heaven and the mortal gods who were ordered by the emperor were left in the mortal world.

Therefore, the jianmu was called the "immortal ladder" by later generations. Legend has it that as long as you can climb to the top of the jianmu, you can cross the gap between immortals and mortals and become an immortal.

Jiang He stared at the piece of wood closely.

It is about three people tall and as thick as two people holding it together. It looks like a broken piece of wood after a broken tree trunk. There is no bark on the surface, but rather rough cracks.

Apart from the size and lavender material, there is nothing unique about it.

"Is this the fragment of the fairy ladder that supported the heaven in the legendary era?"

"It's [Ladder to Heaven], not [Ladder to Immortal]."

White-browed Immortal corrected Ega's statement.

"Building wood is called the Immortal Ladder, which is just a legend passed down by later generations. It is actually just a pillar supporting the Immortal World and a ladder leading to the Immortal World. Even a mortal can reach the Immortal World as long as he climbs it."

"Moreover, from the collapse of the Heavenly Court to the establishment of the Qi Dynasty, it is not a short process, but a long history of tens of thousands of years..."

"By the time I become an immortal, Heaven has been in ruins for countless thousands of years, let alone the Ladder to Heaven."

Jiang He suddenly realized.

The White-Eyebrowed Immortal was right. Even a dynasty that could only last for a few thousand years would cause chaos when it collapsed and would last for hundreds of years.

The chaotic world caused by the collapse of the ancient heaven cannot calm down in a short period of time, and directly transition from the legendary era to the dynastic era.

As the last immortal to become an immortal before the establishment of the first dynasty, the White-Eyed Immortal became an immortal long after the collapse of Heaven.

According to this logic, Jianmu cannot be the [Immortal Road] itself.

Even so, as a sacred tree supporting the heaven and a ladder between heaven and earth, it should be a legendary divine object and has long since been lost in the legendary era.

At this time, it actually appeared in a strange place deep in the time world?

"Is it really Jianmu Shuxin?"

"This is the time realm. How can we be sure that it comes from the Taixuan world?"

The white-browed immortal obviously couldn't give Jiang He an answer.

When he became an immortal, Jianmu had already been destroyed and he had never seen it.

But it was the Taoist priest with a Taoist crown who answered.

"Jianmu is a ladder to heaven and a sacred tree. It is also just a kind of fairy tree."

"I have witnessed with my own eyes the process of its branches falling off and being refined into magic weapons... This is definitely the heart of a tree."

"As for how I am sure it comes from the Taixuan world..."

There was a trace of fluctuation in the voice of the Taoist priest who was wearing a Taoist crown.

He raised his right hand, and a sword made of purple wood appeared in the sky above his palm.

"This is a magic sword made from the heart of Jianmu tree. The refining material is the Jianmu fragments that I found from a Taixuan ruins that contained fragments of heaven, and were reproduced by the power of time..."

The Taoist paused.

Jiang He looked at this magic sword, his eyes slightly condensed, and he said in disbelief.

"The piece of building wood you found couldn't be..."

"That's it."

The Taoist looked at the Jianmu tree in front of him with a complicated expression.

"I personally refined it into a time magic weapon, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with it..."

"It comes from Taixuan."

"..."

Silence fell in the tree hole.

Jiang He, like the three heroic spirits, stared at the fragment of building wood with a myriad of thoughts.

Obviously, Jianmu Yidi was born because of the power of Jianmu fragments.

But as a building fragment of Taixuan World, why did it appear in the time realm and become the core of the Gray Tribe in a foreign land?

Could it be that the Gray Clan caused the collapse of the heaven in Taixuan World and took away a fragment of building wood?

No, the possibility is too low. It's as ridiculous as breaking into someone's house and walking around, only removing the corner of a floor tile when leaving.

Moreover, according to the investigation of the Spirit Control Master Association, these different places in time are similar to the spirit stone deposits in the Taixuan ruins, and are resource locations that cannot be moved.

That's why the Gray Clan competes with the Demon Clan.

Otherwise, when attacked, wouldn't it be better to just take Jianmu Shuxin and escape? Why fight to the death?

Follow this logic.

Jianmu Shuxin doesn't look like he was placed here by the Gray Tribe.

It's more like it appeared here a long time ago and evolved into Jianmu Yidi, until the Gray Tribe appeared and occupied it later...

But the problem is back to the beginning.

Why does Jianmu Shuxin appear in the time realm?

In other words, what is the connection between the time realm and the Taixuan world?

"It would be great if we could know the exact time when Taixuan World was destroyed..."

Jiang He sighed in his heart.

The Yuling World can only learn that Taixuan has been destroyed through the Taixuan ruins that landed on the Blue Star and the summoned heroic spirits.

But when Taixuan was destroyed, there is no way to find out.

Was it hundreds of years ago when the first Taixuan ruins arrived on Blue Star?

Is it thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions of years ago before life on the Blue Star sprouted?

Or earlier?

If we say that the Taixuan World was destroyed, it was earlier than the birth of the Time Realm.

Then, the time realm might be the remains of Taixuan in the past.

The Gray Tribe and the Demon Tribe are scavenging creatures that lie on the Taixuan wreckage to absorb nutrients...

The appearance of Jianmu Shuxin gave Jiang He too many ideas.

While he was deep in thought, the man next to him wearing a green robe with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes finally spoke.

"There is no way to cut off the connection between the heart of the Jianmu tree and heaven and earth. Once the heart of the Jianmu tree is removed, it will inevitably turn into dust."

"Even if we kill the goose to retrieve the eggs and forcibly extract the core power of Jianmu Shuxin, it will take at least a few years."

The three heroic spirits stood in front of the fragment of building wood, not just thinking about its origin.

Rather, he is looking for ways to take it away intact.

It's a pity that it didn't succeed.

The white-browed immortal also spoke.

"The Gray Tribe won't leave us much time...just leave it here."

"Except for the building debris, let's take away everything we can."

The three heroic spirits quickly reached a consensus——

They had completed the goal of this raid, not only wiping out a gathering place of the Gray Tribe, but also mastering a lot of information about other places.

Including the traces of civilization in the tree holes, they plan to take them back to Yuling World and give them to historical scholars for analysis.

Use this method to improve your understanding of your enemy.

As for Jianmu Yiji itself, they have no plans to occupy it by force for the time being.

certainly.

If you don’t occupy it, you won’t occupy it.

But the Taoist sacrificed the Jianmu Magic Sword, and it instantly turned into a purple light, circled around the majestic tree, and then flew back.

The man in green robe waved his sleeves, and saw the majestic tree that was over ten thousand feet tall flew up with its roots, quickly shrunk in size, fell into his sleeves, and disappeared without a trace.

Just a moment.

The previously built-out place has turned into a huge pit.

In the center of the pit is a bare wooden pole, wrapped in fragments of building wood inside, which looks very pitiful.

"The power of the Immortal is so meticulous that even if the giant tree on the surface is pulled out, the building fragments themselves will not be affected in any way."

"In other words, Jianmu should be able to reappear in another place...right?"

Jiang He looked at the deep pit and his heart moved slightly.

The spirit of the immortals is something that you should learn from.

One by one, the heroic spirits returned with their trophies.

Seeing that Jiang He had no intention of leaving, the white-browed immortal asked curiously.

"Master Wan, won't you go back?"

"Senior Baimei is also staying."

The white-browed immortal laughed and shook his head.

"Then let's take a look together."

As they spoke, their bodies changed.

It has appeared in the very high sky, surrounded by a gray atmosphere, and the potholes in the buildings below have turned into small dots.

Even with heroic vision, he couldn't clearly see what was happening below.

At the same time, Jiang He also felt that his power was being consumed rapidly.

It wasn't until the White-browed Immortal popped up a white chess piece and turned into an invisible barrier surrounding him that the loss of power stopped abruptly and the scene below became clear.

The two of them just lurked high in the sky, waiting quietly.

They didn't wait long.

But he saw four gray lines coming from different directions.

This is a gray enemy from other places.

But when they came to Jianmu Yidi, they did not gather together. Instead, they formed four gray clouds, silently confronting each other.

There is no vocal communication.

After a while, the two gray clouds came together to form a larger gray cloud.

The other two gray clouds stayed for a moment and then dispersed.

The larger gray cloud shrouded the remaining wooden pole in Jianmu's remote location, wrapping it up.

Wrapped by them, the wooden pole began to take root and sprout, growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

It's just that I don't know how long it will take to grow to the previous giant tree size.

Seeing such a scene, the white-browed immortal's eyes lit up.

"Wanshi, how about we harvest them again after they plant another tree?"

"Cut leeks?"

"That's an apt description."

Jiang He was joking with the White-Eyebrowed Immortal, but his eyes kept falling downwards.

He savored the previous scene of the four gray clouds confronting each other, and understood clearly in his heart.

really……

He had doubts when he saw decorations of widely different types and styles in the tree hole.

Leaving aside some anomalies, in a civilization that can directly communicate memories, ordinary decorations should not have such a big difference in style.

Now I finally have an idea.

Although the memory and consciousness of the gray air clone originate from the original body, they are completely the same.

But the Gray Clan is not highly unified within them.

Not only are they not highly unified, they may even use different places as strongholds to form different forces, competing for interests and competing for resources...

However, compared with the confrontation between foreign races, this kind of competition is not fierce.

"No wonder the Gray Tribe is so much more powerful than the Yuling World, but the White-Eyebrowed Immortal and the others are able to cross the time slot and establish a time slot base within the Gray Tribe's forces..."

Jiang He felt relieved a little.

If the Gray tribe is highly unified and highly centralized.

Just like the demon dynasties of the past, the demon emperor can mobilize all demon armies at will.

Then, no matter which time slot the Spirit Master Association comes to the time realm, it will be impossible to establish a stronghold or base due to the gap in strength.

Will be directly blocked in the world of Yuling.

In this current situation, there is still some room for maneuver.

The White-browed Immortal did not completely destroy the Jianmu fragments, but chose to stay and observe, obviously to verify this.

Now that he got the answer, his brows relaxed.

"let's go."

After that, he took Jiang He with him and disappeared into the sky.

…

After the attack on Jianmu's foreign land, Time Slot Base indeed encountered an unprecedented fierce attack.

Endless gray enemies came like a tide, attacking the outer boundary of the time slot base.

This huge number has assembled at least a dozen troops from different places!

Apparently, the attack on Jianmu by the spiritual masters made the Gray tribe in the surrounding remote areas feel threatened, so they united and launched an attack.

The Spiritual Masters Association had already anticipated this.

As soon as the Gray Tribe launched their attack, the spiritual masters retreated back to Time Ruins, leaving only an empty base.

After returning to the time ruins, the White-browed Immortal was still waiting beside the time slot for a long time.

Finally, he shook his head and sighed.

"Sure enough, there was no choice to close the time slot."

"Is it because there is no way to close the time slot, or is it still coveting the world of Yuling..."

The white-browed immortal retracted his gaze, looked at Jiang He next to him, and smiled.

"Master Wan can rest for two days. After a few fellow Taoists and I have reopened a safe area, we can go to the time realm together."

"The merits of this battle have been distributed according to your requirements."

"It's just that there are too many heroic spirits of the Wu Dynasty that you summoned. Cross out your part and divide it evenly. In fact, everyone can't share much..."

"that's it."

Jiang He smiled.

He didn't summon Wu Shishi and the others to come over for fun, but to fight for the world of Yuling.

As long as merit is distributed according to contribution during the battle, it doesn't matter if it's less.

Those spiritual masters should be able to understand this intention.

anyway.

The world of time has to wait for the White Eyebrowed Immortal and the others to reopen the map. The task of clearing the gray enemies in Yuling World is only the last bit, and it will be over in one day.

It seems that I can start preparing for the Luo Dynasty simulation.

…

Kyoto, training room.

Xiao Wu was full of energy and practiced martial arts crazily, sweating profusely.

Brother Fourteen is no longer his own heroic spirit——

In just a few days, he was summoned several times in a row, and each time he disappeared without a trace without the consent of his spiritual master.

When I come back, I always look satisfied.

unacceptable!

What are the secrets of the association and cannot be disclosed...

But they are all excuses.

Since I went to participate in the association's secret battle, I didn't see the association assigning meritorious deeds when I came back!

Moreover, no matter how legendary the heroic spirit Wu Wanshi is, his strength is not much higher than that of Wu Shishi, and he cannot participate in any important battles at all.

A B-level heroic spirit who becomes the Guardian of Time Ruins can obtain fifty meritorious deeds in one day.

Can Wu Shishi earn a hundred meritorious deeds by following Wu Wanshi, an A-level heroic spirit?

At this moment, the phone rang.

Xiao Wu wiped his sweat, picked up the mobile phone beside him, and suddenly stopped.

[Your Spirit Master account has added 7500 points of merit. Thank you for your dedication. 】

"...Brother Fourteen, didn't the emperor call you to fight today?"
