"Yes, the tree spirit is Mu Lingzi, one of the five spirits."
Although she had had this idea in her mind before, Xu Qiuqian still found it a bit unbelievable when she actually heard the Heavenly Immortal Lord admit it in person.
She always thought that the five spirits were all monks.
Unexpectedly, Mu Lingzi turned out to be a tree spirit.
"Are you surprised?"
"It's a bit." Xu Qiuqian admitted honestly.
The corners of Tianwai Immortal Lord's mouth are slightly curved, but the arc is so small that it is almost invisible. However, there is less indifference and more warmth in his eyes, as if he is reminiscing about something.
"All things have animism. If you see him, you will know that no one is more suitable for the title Mu Lingzi than him."
Xu Qiuqian was thoughtful.
She had previously felt that from the very beginning when the Heavenly Immortal Lord knew that the tree spirit was not a human being and reported it to the Immortal Emperor, and later when he made a deal with the tree spirit, everything was for his own plan, so he used the tree spirit without any emotion.
Now it seems that she may have gone astray.
"So when you let him go, do you really want to give him freedom?"
"No." Tianwai Immortal Lord denied without any hesitation.
He looked at Xu Qiuqian.
"I think you should understand the current situation."
Xu Qiuqian looked at him but didn't answer.
She didn't know what Tianwai Xianjun wanted to express.
"I want to protect the Five Spirits."
"Protect the Five Spirits?" This time, Xu Qiuqian was really stunned.
"Yes, if the Immortal Emperor finds out that the tree spirit is a wood spirit, he will definitely not keep him, so I let him go and asked him to help me put Wuhua and those magic weapons on Jedi Island."
Xu Qiuqian was puzzled.
"But, why? Why do you want to protect the Five Spirits? You just said that the reason why the Immortal Emperor did not kill you is because you are still useful. When you did this, didn't you think about how you would be treated?"
In this Immortal City, the Immortal Emperor has absolute rights.
To protect the Five Spirits is to go against the Immortal Emperor.
Why do this?
"If I don't do this, will the Immortal Emperor spare me?" Tianwai Immortal Lord asked her.
Xu Qiuqian was speechless.
"Protecting the Five Spirits is because only the Five Spirits can destroy the Immortal City and allow the monks in the remaining world to ascend to the real Immortal World."
"So you are doing it for the entire Yujie."
Xu Qiuqian did not expect that the Heavenly Immortal Lord would have this idea.
She suddenly remembered that the illusion formed by Wuhua now was the fairy capital two thousand years ago.
Two thousand years ago, the Immortal Lord Tianwai was targeted by the Immortal Emperor, but what about now?
Is he, the Heavenly Immortal Lord, still alive?
Xu Qiuqian didn't dare to ask this question for a while.
Compared with Xu Qiuqian's confused thoughts, Tianwai Immortal Lord's expression was particularly calm and indifferent, as if the person who said those words was not him.
"My life doesn't matter, but I don't want my own descendants, and I don't want the monks in Xiyue Continent or even the rest of the world to be unable to ascend to the real immortal world."
Xu Qiuqian was shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time.
After a long time, she said slowly: "So you asked Mu Lingzi to take Wuhua to Jedi Island for the sake of Wuling."
A smile flashed across Tianwai Immortal Lord's eyes, and then he nodded.
Xu Qiuqian reacted completely.
In other words, Tianwai Immortal Lord may have known that they would come to Jedi Island, so he asked Mu Lingzi to bring Wuhua to Jedi Island in advance.
The purpose is to let any one of the five spirits notice this place, enter here to learn about the Immortal City, and prepare for the future.
He is using another method, hoping that the Five Spirits can notice and learn the truth of all this, and destroy Xiandu.
Everything is according to his plan.
She came here with Senior Jin Ling and Shan Miaomiao, and indeed learned about part of the Immortal City through here.
"You have to be careful." I heard Tianwai Immortal Lord continue: "Your qualifications are too high, Guiyuan Immortal Emperor is probably ready to take action against you."
Xu Qiuqian was startled.
Then I remembered one thing, in Xiandu, qualifications can be transferred.
This was what she heard in those voices after she fell into the Wuhua Pond.
She looked at the Heavenly Immortal Lord and felt confused.
"Why?"
"what why?"
"Why do you want to help me?"
The Heavenly Immortal Lord blinked his eyes, and Xu Qiuqian actually saw a hint of narrow-mindedness in it: "I said, I want to protect the Five Spirits."
"So you knew I was one of the Five Spirits from the beginning?"
"right."
"But you later explained that you felt the Wuhua aura from me, so this was just an excuse on your part?"
"Yes, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. What I can do is to do my best to open up a real path to the immortal world for them and even the rest of the world, even if it costs my own life."
Xu Qiuqian was shocked.
People who cultivate immortality have always been selfish, and many people who cultivate immortality often think that if others do not serve themselves, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth.
This was the first time she had seen someone like the Heavenly Immortal Lord, who had spent thousands of years, even sacrificing his own life, just for the sake of the entire world of immortality.
It would be a lie to say it wasn’t shocking or moving.
However, just when she was thinking about how to reply, Tianwai Immortal Lord said again: "What's more, I am doing this for myself. Once the Immortal City is destroyed, I will be able to ascend."
Xu Qiuqian looked at him blankly.
She really wanted to ask, are you still alive now?
But I felt that it was too rash to ask this.
The Heavenly Immortal Lord seemed to see the doubts in her heart, and said again: "Don't worry, I have attained Mahayana after all, and I will not die so easily."
Xu Qiuqian was silent for a moment, and then laughed.
"That's right. You, the Heavenly Immortal Lord, are a powerful person in the Mahayana period."
In this world of immortality, the highest level is the Mahayana stage.
Immediately, she changed the topic: "Does the Foreign Immortal Lord know who the last person was that day and where he is now?"
The Heavenly Immortal Lord smiled.
This time, it's more obvious than before.
"When you find Mu Lingzi, the next one will naturally appear." After a pause, he added, "But the distant mountains should stop you, so you have to be careful."
Xu Qiuqian was a little disappointed when she didn't get any news about the last one.
However, she did not continue to ask questions and thanked the Immortal Lord Tianwai.
Before leaving, Tianwaixianjun asked her: "So are you willing?"
"What do you want?"
"Destroy Xiandu."
Xu Qiu smiled slightly.
"certainly."
She and Senior Jin Ling had planned to deal with this group of people before, but now they just changed their target to a slightly bigger target.
The Heavenly Immortal Lord also laughed.
"Then I'll leave it to you. I'd like to thank you on behalf of all the monks in the rest of the world."
"No need, I am also a monk from Yujie."
The Heavenly Immortal Lord nodded slightly when he heard this.
"But...where is Mu Lingzi now? How can the Immortal City be destroyed?" Xu Qiuqian asked doubtfully.
It's impossible for her to just destroy the fairy capital with millions of explosive beads, right?
Although the blasting bead was useful, it was not so powerful. Most of the monks in the Immortal City were at least in the god transformation stage. By then, she would have been stopped before she even threw the blasting bead.
Tianwai Xianjun said that only Wuhua can destroy Xiandu, so how to destroy it?
