Chapter 169: Fallen Immortals

After walking in, Xiyue found that this was actually a tomb. There was already a thick, thick layer of dust on the ground, and it was clear that no one had been here for a long, long time. There is a very strong immortal atmosphere here, and it is also these breaths that make this place last for a long time.

The passage was not long, and at the end of it there was only a burial chamber, in which there were no burial goods except a coffin. Or maybe there is, but it's just dissipated in the long river of time.

Unlike mortal coffins, this coffin is not made of wood and stone, but of water. That's right, this is a water coffin, made entirely of water. This water Xiyue is also very familiar, it is a yuan heavy water, known as the heaviest water in the world.

Through the water coffin, Xi Yue clearly saw that there was a man lying inside, a dead immortal. He was dressed in an aqua-blue robe, looking as warm as jade, and in addition to a very strong sadness, there was also a unique aura of desolation.

Xi Yue frowned, others may not know too much. But as Xi He, who is in charge of the criminal law of the Heavenly Court, he is very clear. This is an immortal who has been knocked to the dust, and of course it is also an immortal from the wilderness.

There are three kinds of mortal dust, one is to seal and cultivate, and go down to the mortal tribulation, which is what the mortal world calls immortals. One is to eliminate the Tao and immortal bones, retain the immortal body and memory, and exile to the mortal world, and never be an immortal. There is also a way to remove everything and become mortal completely.

Of the three methods, the first is the lightest and the second is the most ruthless. And this immortal here is the second type, the most ruthless one. When Xi He was in charge of the Heavenly Court, this method was generally used to punish traitors and also to deter the immortals.

Although this punishment retains the immortal body, there is no longer any immortal power, and his lifespan will be as short as that of mortals, and he will experience birth, old age, sickness and death like mortals, and then completely disappear, which is even worse than the end of mortals. The most ruthless point is that once the mortal dust is defeated in this way, no one will be able to lead them back to the immortal path unless they are saints.

I don't know what kind of mistake this immortal has made to be punished like this. Even the former Xihe rarely used this method, after all, immortals pursue immortality and power, and there is nothing cruel like making immortals lose their strength and watching themselves die of old age. It's hurtful.

Xi Yue felt the sadness and pure breath around this immortal, he shouldn't be the kind of person who is treacherous and evil, who is doing this?

When Xihe was in charge of the criminal law, not everyone who betrayed was dealt with in this way. Basically, those who are subject to this kind of criminal law are themselves the kind of people who are guilty of serious crimes.

Looking at the situation after the death of this male immortal, the cultivation should not be low, at least there is also the cultivation of the Great Luo Jin Immortal, who can eliminate his Taoism to this extent, at least a small realm higher than this male immortal. What kind of deep hatred and hatred do not hesitate to cause and effect killing, but also torture an immortal like this?

Of course, this has nothing to do with Xiyue. Xi Yue thought more about the immortals who used to be in the flood famine, and those legends about the flood famine were spread like this immortal? Did they write a book like "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" about the flood and famine, or did someone write it based on their oral account?

Xiyue didn't believe that these historical coincidences and myths were spread by Nuwa and them, after all, it was of no use to them, even if they recreated a flood wasteland, it was not such a superficial reconstruction.

It can't be the obsession of these immortals who have been beaten down here, thinking that this is not a flood wilderness, so they create an illusion and pretend that they are still living in the flood wilderness, right?

Thinking of this Xiyue, she is a little embarrassed, will her brain hole be a little too big?

Xi Yue put away her thoughts and prepared to leave, there was nothing worth her stay here. This trip, walking in vain, can also be said to be fruitful, just as a long night pastime.

When Xi Yue was turning around, she saw something out of the corner of her eye. A little black stuff, buried under a thick layer of dirt ash. It's an ordinary thing, but it makes Xiyue can't take her eyes off it.

At that moment, Xiyue didn't know what it was. She subconsciously waved her long sleeves, and a breeze blew, blowing away the dust on the ground. Something in the ash was also revealed, a small black branch, not charred black, but dry black.

As soon as Xi Yue reached out and grabbed it, the black branch flew towards Xi Yue, hovering above her jade hand. The branches of the tree kept turning and turning, like a dead branch in the mortal world.

Of course, Xi Yue didn't believe that this was an ordinary branch, her heart moved, and the wisps of Yuehua rushed towards the branch, and the branch was swallowed without refusal.

After a while, the branches seemed to have enough of it, releasing a wisp of extremely ethereal aura.

"It's... Xi Yue was full of excitement. However, she was not sure yet, and continued to enter Yuehua, and when the breath became stronger and stronger, Xiyue finally determined that this was the thing.

At the beginning of the chaos, there were heaven and earth spirits born together with the father God Pangu. Some have turned into Chaos Demon Gods, while others have become Supreme Treasure Spirit Roots like Chaos Qinglian.

After opening the world, several spiritual roots were born that were comparable to those born in chaos. The immortals of the Flood Desolation called them the Ten Innate Spirit Roots.

These ten spiritual roots are the well-deserved first spiritual root Chaos Qinglian, and the nine spiritual roots that are almost not strong or weak, Huangzhong Li, Pan Peach, Ginseng Fruit Tree, Green Willow, Gourd Vine, Fusang Tree, Laurel Tree, Bitter Bamboo, and Bodhi Tree.

There is also a saying that the Bodhi tree is not one of the ten spiritual roots, but the five-needle pine is.

Both of these statements are true, but they are not all true. Because in the more ancient times, the Renshui Peach, the Wutu Ginseng Fruit Tree, the Gengjin Bodhi Tree, the Yimu Laurel Book, and the Binghuo Fusang Tree were collectively known as the Innate Five Elements Spiritual Root, which was the second spiritual root after the Chaos Blue Lotus.

There is no way to verify who this passed on, but those extremely noble gods, such as Sanqing and Xihe, are the only spiritual roots that can complement and coexist after seeing the five elements become one, and they are definitely more powerful than other spiritual roots. Together with the four lotus flowers that come from one source, they cannot complement each other.

At that time, although the Five Elements Spiritual Root was regarded as a spiritual root, there were also ten spiritual roots, which were the Chaos Star Fruit Tree, the Jianmu, the Banana Tree, and the Five-Needle Pine.

There is also a saying that the immortal apricot is one of the ten spirit roots. Actually, no, just think about it a little and know whose hands the fairy apricot is.

How precious the ten spiritual roots are, they are existences that even Zhen Yuanzi and the Queen Mother of the West regard as life and are coveted by saints, how could they fall into the hands of Yun Zhongzi.

Of course, who is in the hands of Xianxing, Xiyue doesn't know, after all, when Xihe left the wilderness, he had never heard of Yunzhongzi.
