The distant mountains are hazy, always shrouded in darkness, and the clouds linger, as if they are a veil that will never fade away.
There are trees in the mountains, but they are not alive. Those trees all have a towering shape, but the leaves of those trees will fall from time to time.
If a tree looked like this, it wouldn't be a strange sight. But every tree in this mountain is like this.
Here are the deciduous mountains.
The tree in the mountain is called the Burial Tree.
Unlike other trees, the lifespan of a burial tree is extremely long and can easily live for thousands of years.
It contains majestic life essence, but its body is also extremely tough.
It is simply impossible to perfectly utilize the life essence of the Burial Tree using ordinary means.
However, when the burial tree grows to a certain age, it will become easier to refine its life essence.
According to common sense, this age should be 30,000 years old for the burial tree.
But it's different here.
The reason why the Fallen Leaf Mountains have always been a dark and dead image.
Just because it is a dangerous place.
Rumor has it that there was an ancient empire here a long time ago.
That empire was very prosperous and powerful.
It once had glory, but it also disappeared in the long river of time because of a terrible war.
When time passes and everything is forgotten, this place becomes a place of legend.
According to legend, the Fallen Leaf Mountains buried the bones of all the people of that empire.
Because the original war was too brutal, those people still left endless resentment and residual souls after their death.
The remaining soul rests on the remaining bones, dissipating little by little as the years go by.
It's just that the power they left behind in the process of dissipating will mix and blend with the resentment.
They have become a new force.
That is death force, which is extremely terrifying.
At this point, this place has become a dangerous place.
For a long time, ordinary creatures were unwilling to set foot here.
Ordinary creatures simply cannot withstand the erosion of that kind of terrifying power.
And even bone cultivators and desolate beasts would choose to stay away.
Only the bone cultivators from the Hanging Coffin Ancient Sect still like this place.
In their hands were the seeds of the burial tree.
The reason why Burial Tree is called Burial Tree is because of this dead land.
This land is a very dangerous place for other bone cultivators.
However, it is a complete treasure land for the people of the Hanging Coffin Ancient Sect.
By planting the burial tree here, you can use the power here to make the burial tree mature in advance.
Cultivation resources that originally took 30,000 years to obtain can be obtained in this way in only 3,000 years.
When the burial tree matures, they will come here, cut down the burial tree, build a coffin, and take away the coffin to help them practice.
The fallen Hanging Coffin disciples will also be buried here by their fellow disciples after their death.
As long as the corresponding coffin is hung on the extremely ancient burial tree, the burial is complete.
This has never been a geomantic place.
The practice here will be affected by the dead force, and the speed of practice will be infinitely slowed down.
Therefore, no one usually comes here unless they are doing those things.
However, Gu Qingyang was assigned here.
The Fallen Mountains are a scary place.
This was something Gu Qingyang understood at first glance.
Faintly, Gu Qingyang naturally saw the intention of the old man Tianshi.
Nowadays, he is completely broken and can only be regarded as a mortal.
Even if he won't encounter any danger in the Fallen Leaf Mountains.
Just by living in this place, he would die within a period of time.
After all, that kind of power is terrifying.
Every day he lives here, he will be eroded by it.
With his current vitality, it would be a matter of time before he died here.
He once spent a whole day getting to know the entire Fallen Leaf Mountains.
The burial tree impressed him deeply.
Leaves grow from branches.
Fallen leaves return to their roots.
This process should have been extremely long.
But here, it only takes one breath.
Once a breath of time passes, the leaves of those buried trees in the Deciduous Leaf Mountains will be replaced again.
The burial tree is like this, so there is no need to say more about what he will do.
Standing on this land, Gu Qingyang's feeling has always been extremely clear.
It is a feeling of life force being deprived and eroded. It's even more like the feeling of being close to death.
What does it mean that the old man Tianshi arranged himself here?
He wants him dead!
This is the only explanation.
The Ancient Hanging Coffin Sect does not need Gu Qingyang.
Those people just need a genius.
They need this genius to grow into a supreme figure and then lead them to glory.
They decided that Gu Qingyang couldn't do such a thing, but Gu Qingying could.
They wanted Gu Qingying to grow up.
What's more, Gu Qingying's heart should belong to this decadent and dirty land.
Therefore, Gu Qingyang must disappear.
Moreover, it is best for Gu Qingyang to disappear at the right time.
Only in this way can Gu Qingying let go of her brother at a suitable time.
This is the true thought of Old Man Tianshi.
Gu Qingyang also thought of it.
In fact, from the perspective of a sect decision-maker, there is nothing wrong with this idea.
This is just considering the future based on the current conditions.
This idea is realistic and effective.
But he, Gu Qingyang, would definitely not agree.
He will not sit back and wait, waiting to die at the end of his life.
His sister shouldn't be the victim of those old guys trying to expand their sect.
Long before joining the Hanging Coffin Ancient Sect, Gu Qingyang had already seen everything clearly.
So after being assigned to the Luoye Mountains, Gu Qingyang didn't react on the surface.
He was submissive and accepted it all submissively.
His behavior also made him look very depressed.
It was as if he had accepted the reality.
But in his heart, he was laughing wildly.
He smiled, laughing at the fact that the old man didn't understand his sister at all.
He laughed, and laughed even more at the fact that Old Man Tianshi thought he was a mediocre talent.
He was angry and sober.
He accepted the reality.
It's just that what he thinks about is how to grow.
Waiting to die is a choice only a fool would make.
Not to mention, he now has eight thousand years of memory.
Even without these, even if he is really just a young man who is only in his teens.
He would not be willing to become a puppet in the hands of the old man.
What's more, in this young body, there is a soul that is not young.
Some things can only be understood after experiencing them, and Gu Qingyang has experienced such things countless times.
"hiss--"
Big drops of sweat dripped down Gu Qingyang's cheeks. At this moment, he couldn't help but let out a low roar with a ferocious look on his face.
Waves of faint light appeared from Gu Qingyang's body. In the dim forest sea, these lights made Gu Qingyang look very dazzling.
Now Gu Qingyang is practicing, but it is no longer an attempt, but a real practice, and he is constantly getting stronger.
In the northern wasteland, he had almost no effective resources. The conditions of the wasteland were actually a huge restriction for him.
But it's different here.
"Creak, creak, creak—"
Sitting cross-legged in the forest, after a while, those lights began to dim.
As bursts of harsh sounds sounded, Gu Qingyang stopped practicing out of breath.
He gathered up some of the strength he had worked hard to refine, and then tore off a large piece of bark.
Putting the bark in his mouth, Gu Qingyang used his magical power again, and then chewed it.
The magical power he is practicing now is a magical magical power that he has remembered to this day.
Its name is "The Ancient Demon Sutra of Swallowing Gods".
This Dharma is not a Dharma created by Him.
This is what he gets by killing his enemies, and the people he kills are the inheritors of the orthodoxy.
Gu Qingyang remembered clearly that the person he killed back then was named Duan Yantian.
At that time, this person was a new talent in the magic world.
Many people believe that this person has the potential to grow into a giant of magic.
But this person was later killed by him forcefully, which can be regarded as an untimely death.
The Ancient Demon Sutra of Swallowing Gods was created by an old demon named Mo Zizai.
The original Duan Yantian was just the inheritor chosen by the old devil.
Both this old demon and Duan Xiotian are extremely terrifying demon cultivators.
They have a glorious past, have a illustrious and fierce reputation, and have great demonic power. They can be called great demons.
It is precisely because of them that this magical power can be called the number one magical magical power in this wild world.
But Gu Qingyang didn't like those who didn't pass on the inheritance.
What he values is the magical power itself.
After cultivating this magical power, you can refine your natal bones into "god-swallowing demon bones".
Bone cultivation has always been based on the natal bone.
The attributes and characteristics of the natal bone often directly determine the path of bone cultivation.
The God-Swallowing Demon Bone can forcibly swallow other people's life bones, refine the power within them, and even take other people's lives by force.
To put it simply, this ability is devouring.
Such a life bone is extremely terrifying.
The life bone realm is the first realm of bone cultivation.
This realm is divided into nature and nurture.
Like Gu Qingying, who awakened the eternal demon bone and was born with the ultimate supreme physique.
People like her have stepped outside the rules from the beginning.
Nine grades, nine colors.
For her, it no longer works.
She is already at the top level innately, and can break through the shackles at any time.
Even if she suppresses her cultivation in the realm of life bones for a long time, the improvement that acquired practice can bring is very limited.
Gu Qingyang's situation was exactly the opposite of his sister's. Like him, he suffered severe injuries when his life bones were awakened, so he was lucky enough not to die.
But if he wants to practice in the future, he will have to rely on his acquired efforts. His congenital condition can only be said to be extremely bad.
But if Gu Qingyang really cultivates this demon bone, he will definitely be able to soar into the sky and experience a true rebirth, just like a new life.
Nurture is contrary to nature, which is completely contrary to nature.
But, how could it be so easy to practice such heaven-defying supernatural powers?
When he was in the northern wasteland, Gu Qingyang had tried many magical powers including this one.
However, the wasteland spiritual energy was slightly thin, coupled with the lack of suitable training resources, Gu Qingyang kept failing.
But now, in the Luoye Mountains, relying on the Burial Tree, Gu Qingyang directly draws the life force here to practice.
Compared with the aura of the wasteland, the death force is much easier to absorb. However, this kind of power is more difficult to refine than the wasteland aura.
Gu Qingyang is familiar with many ancient methods, and it is not difficult for him to refine this kind of power.
The real difficulty is to keep the body safe while refining these powers.
His body was like a porcelain full of cracks.
As long as he is not careful, death will be the only thing that greets him while practicing.
"Hoo, ho, ho—"
When all the power disappeared from his body like a tide, Gu Qingyang also spit out the bark in his mouth.
He was breathing heavily, and he was also enduring the backlash caused by practicing the God-Devouring Ancient Demon Scripture. This feeling is extremely complicated and painful.
The God-Swallowing Ancient Demon Sutra only has three levels of heaven, and it is a magical power that consolidates the foundation of bone cultivation.
These three heavens are:
Demon body
Demonic heart
The devil is here for eternity and will last forever.
Gu Qingyang needs to start from scratch.
And refining this kind of demon bone is a symbol of achieving the first-level "devil body".
After many days of hard work, Gu Qingyang could feel that he was about to succeed.
However, his body seemed to have reached its limit and could no longer withstand the next impact.
"It's not good if you do it too hastily."
"But some things must be done."
Two hours later, Gu Qingyang's pain finally eased a lot.
After muttering to himself, he exhaled again,
Then, he stood up and walked outside the Fallen Leaf Mountains.
The Ancient Hanging Coffin Sect is not in the northern wilderness. There are countless pairs of eyes paying attention to him here.
He had to gain a foothold here and tell some people in his own way that he should be feared by them.
