Peacock Peak, this is the place where the ancestor of the Peacock Tree sat and transformed. The Peacock Tree that the ancestor of the Tree Kong Tree transformed into is here.
The peacock tree is very tall, reaching into the sky and into the sky. The whole peacock tree looks like a giant standing on this continent, protecting the entire peacock land.
Peacock Peak is not a place that everyone can climb up to. Only monks who are strong enough to withstand the power of Peacock Peak can climb up to Peacock Peak.
After climbing the Peacock Peak, we saw that the top of the peak was extremely flat, like a small school ground. It could even be said that the stones on the top of the peak had been polished until they shined.
In the past, especially when the peacock tree was still very vigorous, countless disciples of the tree clan came here and fell into the Tao here, hoping to understand the Tao through the power of the peacock tree.
Over millions of years, people have come and gone, and countless people have left their footprints here. Eventually, the stones here were polished until they were shiny.
Li Qiye came to pay homage to the peacock tree early. In fact, for him, it was also the last journey to give one to this great ancestor of the tree.
It is only a matter of time before the peacock tree dies. When the peacock tree dies, everything will disappear and there will be no trace of the ancestor of the peacock tree in the world.
When Li Qiye and Kong Qinru came to the peak to worship the peacock tree, there were already people worshiping the peacock tree.
The peacock tree does not look tall, just over three feet tall. The trunk is old, and the bark is old and hard. The cracked bark is like dragon scales. Although it has lost its luster, people can still feel its hardness.
There are not many branches on the peacock tree, only three or five branches are stretched. On the branches, some leaves are scattered and growing. Although the leaves are still green, they still give people a withered feeling.
At this time, green smoke was curling up in front of the peacock tree. Someone lit incense and worshiped the peacock tree.
The person who came to pay homage was a young man. This young man was dressed in a ge robe. Although this young man did not show any powerful aura, when he rolled his eyes, he felt an incomparable power.
This young man exudes the aura of trees. As soon as people get close, they will know that he is from the tree tribe.
This young man was followed by three old men. These three old men all had vast blood and extremely powerful auras. It didn't take much to see that they were truly strong men.
With such three old men accompanying him, one can imagine how noble this young man's status is.
It's not that this young man or Li Qiye are the only ones worshiping the peacock tree today. In fact, from the fragrant bamboo planted on the ground, we know that people have always worshiped the peacock tree.
In fact, over the years, many human monks, whether from the Peacock Land or elsewhere, have come to worship the peacock tree, because everyone knows that the peacock tree will slowly die in the near future.
The human monks in the Tianling Realm are all grateful to the Peacock Tree Ancestor for protecting the human race from era to era. In this Peacock Land, people have a place to live and work in peace and contentment.
After the young man paid his respects, he stood in front of the peacock tree and watched the green smoke rising. He remained silent for a long time.
When Li Qiye and Kong Qinru climbed the mountain, the young man stood there, was silent for a moment, bowed, and said, "Let's go." After saying that, he turned around and left with the three old men.
Before leaving, the young man bowed to Li Qiye and Kong Qinru very politely, which was regarded as a greeting to each other.
In response to this young man's greeting, Kong Qinru nodded in return. Li Qiye just glanced at him and said nothing.
After the young man left with the three old men, Li Qiye said lightly: "What a pair of wooden eyes. The Tree Clan has not had such a person for a long time."
When Kong Qinru heard Li Qiye's words, he couldn't help but feel shocked. Li Qiye could tell the other person's secret just by looking at him. This was really scary.
"He is Teng Qifun, one of the descendants of Tianteng City. He entered the realm of great sages a few years ago and is a very powerful young generation." Kong Qinru couldn't help but say.
Kong Qinru covered his true body. The young man just now did not see Kong Qinru's origin. However, as the owner of Jinxiu Valley, Kong Qinru could be said to know all the famous people in the world.
Li Qiye said nothing, walked directly to the peacock tree, put down the incense, looked at the withered peacock tree in front of him, and fell silent for a long time.
After a while, Li Qiye sighed softly and said: "Immortality is too far away. Even for Tree Ancestor, it is inevitable in the end. It is time to go back."
After speaking, Li Qiye lit the incense and bowed to the Peacock Tree Ancestor. Even for him, the Peacock Tree Ancestor was a very remarkable existence, not to mention that he had protected the human race here for one era after another.
Kong Qinru also bowed, respectfully and respectfully, coming from the bottom of his heart.
After some worship, Li Qiye gently rubbed the hard old bark of the peacock tree. Finally, after hearing a "sizzling" sound, Li Qiye's palm melted like running water and disappeared into the tree.
Li Qiye closed his eyes and stood there quietly, as if he was asleep.
After a while, Li Qiye slowly opened his eyes, and with a "sizzling" sound, he pulled his palm out of the tree.
"Within 50,000 years, the peacock tree will die." Li Qiye concluded calmly.
Li Qiye's words immediately shocked Kong Qinru's heart, which happened faster than she imagined. She believed that the peacock tree could still support at least two or three generations.
"Can it only last fifty thousand years?" Kong Qinru couldn't help but lost consciousness for a moment and murmured.
Li Qiye said calmly: "To be precise, it can barely survive forty thousand years. After forty thousand years, it's hard to say. It will die at any time. After forty thousand years, how long it can last depends on it. He is no longer attached to this land. No matter what, one day, he will let go."
For a moment, Kong Qinru's heart couldn't help but feel heavy, and she was also full of helplessness. Even if she hoped that the ancestor of the peacock tree would not die so early, she could not change anything, and she was powerless.
In the end, Kong Qinru had no choice but to sigh helplessly and said: "The tree ancestor will also die one day. No one can save it. I can only say that I hope this day will come slowly."
"Who said that?" Standing under the peacock tree, Li Qiye just smiled lightly and said, "These things depend on who is going to defy the odds and live longer. This is not impossible."
Li Qiye's words were like a sound that struck Kong Qinru's heart. Kong Qinru was shocked. She raised her head and looked at the calm Li Qiye. They couldn't believe it, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.
"You, you, you mean, you, you, can you extend the life of the peacock tree?" Even Kong Qinru, as the owner of the valley, couldn't help but his voice trembled when he spoke at this time, and he couldn't help but look at Li nervously. Seven nights.
Li Qiye just glanced at Kong Qinru, then looked at the peacock tree, and said lightly: "For the tree ancestors of the tree tribe, even if they return to their ancestors and take root in the earth, they are still like monks The same, there is still a chance to live longer. The peacock tree still has a chance, and since it has never had a longer life, its chance is even greater."
"You, you, are you telling the truth?" Kong Qinru suddenly became energetic and ignited hope in his heart. He couldn't help but look at Li Qiye excitedly.
"What I said is a hundred times more true than pearls." Li Qiye glanced at her and said: "Besides, this is also common sense, isn't it? For a pharmacist, it is the most basic method to extend one's life against the odds. "
If there was a pharmacist present and hearing Li Qiye's words, he would be so angry that he vomited blood and died, or he would be so inferior that he would commit suicide.
Extending life against the odds is an extremely lofty goal for a pharmacist. Only pharmacists who have reached the legendary level can have this strength, and it is difficult to say whether they will succeed or not. Now according to Li Qiye, it has become the most basic method.
"So, so you can extend the life of the peacock tree." Kong Qinru's eyes shone, and he was full of hope and said excitedly.
"Yes." Li Qiye looked at the peacock tree and said, "It has never extended its lifespan. Just like a monk, not only does it have a great chance of extending its lifespan for the first time, but it can also live a long life. Like a peacock It is not a problem for an existence like a tree to continue to live for ten or eight more generations."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and extend the life of the peacock tree." Kong Qinru couldn't help but said excitedly.
Li Qiye glanced at Kong Qinru slowly and said, "Why should I extend his life? He is not my relative or my elder."
"You are a human race -" Kong Qinru couldn't help but said: "The Peacock Tree has protected the human race from time to time. As a human race, it is also right to do something for the Peacock Tree."
Hearing Kong Qinru's words, Li Qiye couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "Little woman, you think too much. There are so many people in the world who have done things for the human race that they can't be counted. Could it be said that I Are they all trying to do something for them or their descendants? How many sages and invincibles have fought for the survival of the human race. It can be said that compared to some people, the Peacock Tree Ancestor did this little thing. , is not enough for the Dao.”
"You——" Kong Qinru's face turned red for a moment. She looked at Li Qiye and didn't know what to say.
Li Qiye glanced at her and said calmly: "Everything is destined, this is everyone's choice. Just like the sages singing and moving forward for the human race, just like the peacock tree ancestors taking root here on the earth, these are all Their choice. When they take this path, they are not asking for rewards from future generations. They are just walking their own path, taking responsibility for their own lives, and persevering to the end for their own pursuits." (To be continued.)
