Wutong knew this was wrong.
Its path deviated somewhat, and it... fell in love with a phoenix. It can't and it shouldn't happen.
Falling in love with a living being as a race of theirs is destined to have no good consequences.
Ask it...how would you know if you haven't tried it?
Of course it knows that this is what the other half of the soul that lives with it tells it. It is advice and a warning.
Yes, not bad. The Wutong Spirit Tree is born with only half a soul, and the remaining half of the soul needs to be cultivated until a certain period of time before it can be fully cultivated. Before this, the soul of the Wutong Spirit Tree was incomplete.
There are various living systems in this world. Every creature has its own characteristics and a determined path for ascent. And the most wonderful ones in this world, with the greatest potential, are not the powerful races, but rather the weak human races in all aspects.
The human race has what can be called the richest emotional system and perceptual cognitive system. They are born with the ability to perceive the seven emotions and six desires. Although their lives are shorter than most living creatures, they can go through a complete set of "birth, old age, illness, death, love, hate, resentment" in their limited life.
Their short life may even be more exciting than those creatures that live for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
But only for them. The lives of most creatures in the world of cultivation are barren. Apart from cultivation, it is cultivation, with very few twists and turns. They even cannot integrate into the wonderful and vast world because they cannot experience lust.
Like the Sycamore Spirit Tree, most living beings have a very long and slow growth period, and the nodes for understanding the truth of the world are also infinitely extended. Therefore, they will habitually feel boring and boring during their extremely long lives.
Therefore, there is a strange thing like monsters and spirits migrating to the human world. Of course, what they covet is not just the fresh human flesh, but the splendor of human society.
It's just that even a race like the Monster Race, which is extremely powerful and notoriously cold-blooded and cunning, often suffers at the hands of the Human Race, let alone other races that are even more ignorant and slow.
Therefore, all intelligent races of all races will bring various examples when educating their cubs to warn them to be careful of the human race, and at the same time, they must be careful of the most common deception trick of the human race - betrayal called "love".
It is said that many powerful demons have lost their lives because of so-called "love". This also makes many beings who have no understanding of this matter fear this emotion, and also fear places where such confusing emotions are rumored to abound.
However, for a tree, the above operations are still too difficult. After all, they cannot leave the place where they are stationed at will, and it is unlikely to produce any different stories in this form. It is said that the Wutong Spirit Tree does not have this trouble. Their path has been set long ago, a bright and spacious but destined fixed path.
However, Wutong Spirit Tree has such a past event.
It is rumored that the first generation of Wutong Spirit Trees practiced cultivation in the human world. At that time, they did not have such a complete cultivation system. Everything was built piece by piece by the ancestors of each generation.
It only took 70,000 years for the ancestors of the sycamore tree to cultivate and ascend, which was nearly half the time for the descendants of the sycamore tree today.
But this ancestor's experience was not so good. In fact, it's nothing, it's just love and love.
I don’t know whether I don’t care or care too much. Regarding that romantic past, it didn’t even leave a few specific words. It only left a warning to future generations not to try to fall in love with another living being, otherwise they will suffer in a thousand ways. .
As Wutong belongs to the Wutong spiritual tree family, it has naturally heard this warning. For so many years, it has never thought of the possibility of falling in love with another living being.
But what can it do? When it was discovered, the ship was already dead and nothing could be taken back.
Only then did Wutong discover that those great demons who had suffered from "love" had fallen under such a strange emotion.
It has no power to resist. Under the influence of this emotion, it cannot even resist, and becomes a prisoner of love.
It was also when Wutong discovered that the name given to him by the person he was once happy with became one of the shackles that trapped him.
Wutong Lingshu struggled and thought about quitting this relationship. Because whether it is inheriting the memory or verifying its own existence, the soul is warning it that nothing will end well, and it will regret it, and it also knows... but it is so difficult.
It looked at the beautiful back infatuatedly, at the way his brows stretched when he was resting, at the melancholy and deep-seated... love hidden under his deep eyes.
Wutong Lingshu knew that his love that had not yet begun would come to a hopeless end.
Because the beautiful creature it loves actually loves another existence. An existence that it does not know and is destined to be impossible to know.
Wutong admitted that he was a coward, and finally he could only hide in the dark and taste the pain of splitting his liver and gallbladder. Because it knows that it has no qualifications and no position from beginning to end.
There seemed to be no difference in his future life. Although his feelings were different, Wutong only dared to hide in the dark and watch silently from beginning to end.
Occasionally we meet each other, listen to a breeze, accompanied by a phoenix, and exchange past events outside from time to time. It seems like nothing has changed, but it seems like everything has changed.
Wutong originally thought that life would go on like this, but it was eventually cursed by fate.
--Don't try to fall in love with another living being.
Wutong, who lived for more than 70,000 years, fell in love with a creature, and then lost him again. It was lost without warning, so suddenly, and it didn't even feel the clear pain - because the heart it gave birth to because of love had died at that moment.
In the end, it waited for a blood-stained feather and a cold corpse.
It hurt so much, it was obviously not him who died. But Wutong felt that he and his dead heart seemed to wither along with the body, heading towards death.
However, in this pain that seemed to tear apart the soul and body, Wutong did not die immediately - it gave birth to the other half of the soul, the complete soul. This was something that should have taken a hundred thousand years to complete, but it ended up like this.
——Don’t try to fall in love with another creature, it will not end well.
Sure enough... nothing good came of it.

"Huh?" The young man's tired voice was full of surprise.
"Is this spiritual tree going to die?"
"I'm afraid so."
"Practice is not easy. We have already reached this point." The other person seemed helpless, as if he meant something.
"Well, not to mention others, we ourselves...should we give it a ride?"
"No, no, no -"
"Perhaps I can... help you? But you may need to sleep for a long time." The young man stroked the dry bark, his eyes far away, and he seemed to be saying warmly to someone.
