Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 450 Traces of Demons

Xie Changling rolled his eyes at her, "She was just a withered branch of the Chaos God Tree, having lost all the power of the Chaos God Tree!"

"But that doesn't mean it has no vitality. Besides, having absorbed so much divine power, if it can't become the Chaos Divine Tree, can't it develop into an immortal giant tree on its own?"

Fu Siluo: "..."

That makes sense.

She said, "The place closest to the realm of gods...where can we find that nowadays?"

Xie Changling pondered,

"Hmm... My grandfather said that the space where the gods reside is nowhere to be found, but if we talk about which place on the continent once had the most abundant divine power and the longest lifespan of cultivators and common people, it must be one of the sites of the war between gods and demons, Lu Rongtai."

“There was once a town called Yongsheng in Lurongtai. Its people were born unable to cultivate, but they had an average lifespan of 1,500 years.”

"This is the location we have selected that is most suitable for the growth of the Everlasting Tree. Yongsheng is a homonym for Everlasting Life."

Feng Siyue looked up, "Qinghe Yongsheng?"

Xie Changling was somewhat surprised, "You knew?"

Why investigate if this person already knows?

The woman in the black robe clenched her fists slightly.

"Any other news?"

Xie Changling hesitated for a moment, then said, "That's all."

Feng Siyue stood up. "I'll be back in half a month. I'll stay here during this time. You can do your own thing and don't worry about me."

Half a month?

Xie Changling's eyes lit up.

Fu Siluo tilted her head. "Master, are you going to wait for Senior Sister to come back so we can look for the Longevity Wood together?"

Feng Siyue didn't reply to her, turned around and disappeared from the house.

Fu Siluo was a little embarrassed, "Uh... this..."

What did she say wrong?

Gu Zhu, who had been quiet all along, finally spoke.

"Qinghe Yongsheng, which is now Lurongtai, is a sealed place of the site of the war between gods and demons. It is only open on the 20th of March every year, and it is not allowed to enter on ordinary days."

"what?"

Fu Siluo asked, bewildered, "Why?"

Gu Zhu: "Vicious energy. After the war between gods and demons, a large amount of vicious energy arose in Lu Rongtai. For the sake of the stability of the continent, it was sealed by the Chaoyang Holy Palace and various sects and families from different states thousands of years ago."

Xie Changling also said,

"My grandfather said that the powerful beings who sealed the ruins set up an array to absorb the power of heaven and earth for long-term considerations."

“Every year in March, the spiritual energy in the world is most abundant. In addition, the Golden Crow Fire is at its peak, and its malevolent energy dares not run rampant. Therefore, March is the best time for disciples of many sects to train.”

How ferocious is the malevolent energy sealed within Lu Rongtai?

Even if March's ferocity were reduced to only 10% of its former strength, it would be easy for it to instantly kill a Spirit King from the outside.

Not to mention other time periods.

Fu Siluo opened her mouth slightly and exclaimed, "No wonder, March 20th, isn't that almost a month away?"

Xie Changling nodded. "Mm."

Fu Siluo's eyes darted around, and she grinned as she moved closer to Gu Zhu, blinking her eyes as she spoke.

"Since it's a training ground, then we can all go!"

Seeing her attitude, Gu Zhu knew she wasn't up to any good. "Are you sure? Anyone below the Spirit King level would just be cannon fodder."

"Is it that serious?"

Fu Siluo still held onto a sliver of hope.

Xie Changling broke off a plum blossom and gently patted her head, "Don't look down on Lu Rongtai. Even someone like your second senior brother might face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death if he goes in!"

The girl was shocked. "Huh? That's dangerous?"

Xie Changling: "Otherwise what?! You think this is a game of house?"

"Then... let's forget about it."

Even the eldest brother, who is already a Spirit King, is in great danger going in; how much more dangerous would it be for someone like me, who is only a fourth-level Great Spirit Master!?

It's better not to hold anyone back.

Fu Siluo slumped dejectedly onto the table.

If we can't go, won't we have no way of finding out why Senior Sister and Master are looking for the Longevity Wood?

An uninvited guest arrived at the guest room of the residence. When Feng Siyue returned to her room, there was a person standing under the plum tree outside.

The person was dressed in white with no accessories, yet under the moonlight and amidst the snow and ice, he still appeared ethereal and aloof, as if the vast expanse of white snow were merely a backdrop.

The tinkling of wind chimes, seemingly from nowhere, and the slow, steady snowflakes stirred waves in their hearts.

The girl's cold eyes looked at him. "You knew all along that the Everlasting Wood was in the ancient ruins?"

The young man turned around, his eyes shimmering like autumn water. "Yes."

She's become even quieter after a year apart.

They also became more distant.

They were only three meters apart, but in those eyes, it was as if they were facing each other across a vast chasm.

Gongzi Qi's gaze fell on the strands of snow-white hair that occasionally peeked out from under her cloak, and he remained silent for a long time.

"Thank you, take care."

The girl's indifferent words rang out.

The young man sighed inwardly, and then he spoke.

"Since then, there have been signs of demonic activity in various parts of the continent. After investigation, the people of the palace gate discovered that their activities all started from a few ruins."

"Chen Shuye and Bai Sinian split up into two groups, and I plan to send you to Lu Rongtai."

After speaking, the young man paused for a moment, then turned and disappeared.

Only a roll of parchment remained before her eyes.

Time has passed, and everything has changed.

Their interactions only lingered when Cang Li was involved, and they could exchange a few words.

Instead of trying every possible way to miss it.

Not long after the person left, Feng Siyue accepted the gift.

Just as she was about to lie down, a sea-blue array light suddenly flashed on the pouch at her waist, and a refined male voice rang out.

"Xiaoyue, are we getting ready to go to Lurongtai?"

Hearing this voice, Feng Siyue sat on the edge of the bed and murmured, "Yes."

The air was quiet for a while. "The road ahead is fraught with danger. Once you set off to fight against fate, there's no going back."

"Senior, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I will be careful."
