With an idea in his mind, Cheng Yu felt a little better, and even a little more expectant. He couldn't wait to take out those books and search for them.
But with so many disciples here, this would definitely be inconvenient.
Moreover, many disciples failed to awaken, and many disciples were quite depressed. As the head of the family, it was naturally necessary to enlighten them.
Although Cheng Yu was basically certain that the number of people who would awaken this time could not be more than half, that is, 20,000 people, the expectation in his heart was not as strong as it was at the beginning.
Just like what Zhenhun told him, even if these disciples are awakened, they actually only serve as auxiliary protection for the Cheng family.
To truly compete with the dynasty, he has to do it himself.
So now he just wants to go back early to find out whether the ancient books of the Holy City in his hand contain any records of how to awaken the bloodline.
Therefore, there were only a few days left, which made Cheng Yu a little unbearable.
But it was just the last few days, and disciples were still coming down from the sacred tree, but he suddenly found that some people had broken into the area within a thousand miles.
It was the twelfth day now. Judging from the distance, it was normal for someone to discover the existence of the sacred tree.
And Cheng Yu could tell from the conversations between these people that it was obviously not the first time that these people had heard of the existence of the sacred tree.
Thousands of miles away!
"Everyone, hurry up, the Tree of Death is just ahead. If we don't get there, it will probably disappear again!" A middle-aged monk in green robes said anxiously.
"Are you sure that the Tree of Death has appeared ahead? And we have been on the road for ten days. I heard that the Tree of Death only appears for three days.
Once three days are up, it will disappear naturally. We have been rushing for so long, and I am afraid that even if we get there, it will have disappeared long ago! "A purple-robed companion said.
"Don't worry. I've told you many times that my divination skills are no joke. Although the Tree of Death only appeared for three days before, it was obviously closer to the city those times. .
But this time it was different. It appeared so far away and obviously wouldn't disappear in three days.
And my divination shows that it is indeed still there. Even if it's not in front, it's definitely around here.
The tree is so tall that as long as we get nearby, we can see it even without divination. "The green-robed monk replied very confidently.
It turned out that this monk had a very powerful divination ability, and he actually predicted that the sacred tree would appear in this area.
I have to say that Cheng Yu admires this divination ability.
After all, if he hadn't had a contractual relationship with Mu Kongjing, he wouldn't have such a powerful monitoring ability.
But this guy was able to know that the sacred tree was nearby just by relying on the divination tree. This ability was indeed amazing.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, your divination skills are so powerful, can you give us all a divination first. Will our search for the tree of death be good or bad this time?" the purple-robed monk said very worriedly.
"Yes! The name of the Tree of Death did not come randomly. It has appeared so many times before. But everyone who came close to the Tree of Death did not survive.
If the Tree of Death is really nearby, can we still survive if we get close to the Tree of Death? "The other companions were obviously very worried.
After all, the Tree of Death has appeared once or twice, but every time it appears, it is accompanied by the death of a large number of people. It is inevitable that everyone will have various worries in their hearts.
"Well...my divination skills may not be able to help. My ability can only be used to find objects, and cannot predict the future." The fortune teller surnamed Jin said with some embarrassment.
He didn't know this group of people at all, but they got to know each other in the nearest city, Black Valley City.
At that time, he had predicted that the sacred tree would appear nearby, but naturally he did not dare to go forward alone.
So he invited these people to go together. In this case, he would not be so worried.
In fact, along the way, these people have expressed doubts about his divination tree more than once.
But after he showed these people how to find an unknown tree several times on the spot, they slowly began to believe in his divination skills.
Otherwise, after traveling for ten days and finding nothing, they would have thought him a liar and ran away.
"If this is the case, then our life and death are also uncertain this time?" Everyone couldn't help but become more worried.
"Don't worry too much, everyone. Since you all want to find this tree of death, why are you so entangled?
Although the tree of death is rumored to be so evil, I think that as long as I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I will never believe that a tree can be so terrifying.
Maybe this is just an excuse deliberately made by some people who don't want us to find the Tree of Death.
Moreover, I believe that the Tree of Death is nearby, but don’t we have nothing to do?
So you have to be more confident, not to mention that we are all monks in the Mahayana stage. Who can scare us? "The fortune teller named Jin said with a smile.
"You can't say that. After all, so many people have died. This is definitely not groundless!" Some people did not agree with his point of view.
This incident has happened so many times, and each time the tree of death appears at a very far distance, so the people who are close to the tree of death must not be the rumors created by the same group of people.
So they believe that even if this thing is not 100% true, it may not be 100% false, at least part of it is true.
But if it is true, wouldn't it be very dangerous for them to get close to the tree of death now?
"Since you are so scared, why did you agree to come together in the first place? Is it just to escape from the battlefield?" The fortune teller named Jin said with some dissatisfaction.
When these guys planned to come together in the city, they were not so timid. Now that they are all here, they seem to be retreating, which is really annoying.
"Aren't we all discussing this? If this thing is true, we must be on guard.
Moreover, before we got here, we felt that this matter might not be that complicated. But now that I know that the Tree of Death is nearby, I always feel a gloomy chill in my heart. It always feels like there are countless pairs of eyes staring at us, ready to attack us at any time! " said a young monk wearing a navy blue robe.
"Yes, I feel the same way. It's as if all the flowers, plants and trees here have eyes, which makes people panic." Someone agreed.
“I didn’t expect that you are all Mahayana monks, but you are so timid, which really disappoints me.
Since you think it's so dangerous, go back now. If you are willing to take the risk, please follow me. We have spent so much time on the road, and I don't want to delay my search for the Tree of Death because of you. "The diviner believes in his divination skills, and the tree of death is definitely not far from here.
If you give up at this time, what's the point of working hard these days?
The most important thing is that he doesn't know how long it will take for the tree of death to appear this time. Speaking of which, this is already the tenth day. If it had been before, it would have disappeared long ago.
But this time it didn't disappear. This was the biggest difference from before.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the difference this time that it is their best chance.
If he misses it, he knows where it will appear next. Even if he can divine it again, he may not be able to catch it.
Moreover, they are already here. If some of these people leave on their own, if he really gets the Tree of Death, or the treasures in the Tree of Death, he doesn't have to share it with so many people.
Therefore, he wished that some unsteady-minded people would leave quickly, lest he have to share the treasure with them later.
"Hey! Master Jin, wait for me, I'll go with you!" Seeing that the diviner moved forward without any hesitation, the purple-robed monk became anxious and quickly chased after him with his companions.
Although he also felt that this place seemed a bit weird, he didn't think much about it.
He believed that this fortune teller was really capable, and maybe he could really find the Tree of Death this time!
"What should we do? Are we still going to follow?" The remaining people stood there, not knowing whether to catch up or really turn back.
"Damn it, come on, I don't believe that this tree of death is really that evil. Even if it is really that evil, I still have to see this tree of death with my own eyes!" Some of them thought for a while, and finally agreed. He chose to chase after him, leaving only four or five young monks standing there hesitantly.
"Brother, they are all chasing us. What should we do?" asked a companion next to the young monk.
"Do you think we should follow? We're afraid that if we go, we might not come back alive!" said the young monk.
"Brother, I think sometimes we have to take a chance. If things are not as terrible as we thought, wouldn't we have missed a good opportunity to pick up treasures?
What's more, there are so many of us here. Even if we encounter any danger, I think we should be able to face it. "The companion said.
"Yes, senior brother, didn't the fortune teller say that the Tree of Death is right in front? We must be considered close to the Tree of Death, right? Isn't there nothing happening now?
Maybe this is really just a rumor deliberately spread by some people.
Moreover, we have been walking for so many days, and now the Tree of Death is right in front of us. Isn’t it a pity that we just go back?
I think this Tree of Death is very special. There must be a treasure there, we can’t miss it! "Several other junior brothers also persuaded.
Obviously, the allure of treasure is too great!
