At the beginning of the sage cultivation base, the empress became an ex-wife

Chapter 36 Saint, here I come
On the other side, it was also a few moments ago.

Gu Wanqing held the lavender magic sword and crossed the sky. Every time she took a step, lotuses grew under her feet, splashing ripples in the air.

While her dress was fluttering, she arrived at her destination.

In front of her was an ancient tree.

The ancient trees are towering, reaching high into the clouds.

Standing under the tree, Gu Wanqing only felt that the branches and leaves of the ancient tree seemed to cover the entire sky.The torso of the ancient tree looks even more towering like a pillar of heaven.

"It's finally here." Gu Wanqing let out a long sigh of relief.

As Lin Nan said.

Although she has never been here to ask about the secret realm, she has already learned a lot about the secret realm from Shi Yi and other fellow Tianjiao over the years.

And one of them is the ancient tree in front of me.

The ancient tree is called "the tree of life and death".

The tree of life and death will wither and die every 300 years, and after another 300 years, it will become luxuriant again like a dead tree.

And every time "life and death" is experienced, a "life and death fruit" will be formed on the tree of life and death.

Life and death dao fruit, dao level first rank.

Although this fruit is useless to the monks of the four realms of Emperor Zhengdi, but if the monks of the four realms of Tongtian take it, it can strengthen their perception, so that they can improve their cultivation without any future troubles!
In order to temper the Tianjiao Sect of the Holy Sect who entered the secret realm, the Holy Sect set up many challenges around the Tiancaidibao who asked about the secret realm.

But here it is different.

Around the Dao Tree of Life and Death, not only are there no ferocious beasts, slaves, or puppets guarding it, but as long as the timing is right!
No matter what level of cultivation a monk came here, he could reach the top of the tree and obtain the fruit of life and death!

And the reason it's so simple is because...

The fruit of the Dao of Life and Death is not something you can eat if you want to.

Although this thing can improve the cultivation level, it will also allow the monks who obey it, like the tree of life and death, to experience the cycle of life and death!
It's a matter of life and death, how many people dare to mess around?

not to mention!This kind of reincarnation is still based on the situation of subduing the monk with a firm heart!

If one is not firm in the Dao heart, after taking the Dao fruit, there is only death, no life!Even if he was lucky enough to be resurrected, he would not be able to bear the pain of life and death, and thus fall into madness!
"die?"

The moment this word came to mind, Gu Wanqing couldn't help trembling.

Shi Yi has repeatedly warned her that if she has the opportunity to enter the secret realm of asking, she must never take the idea of ​​​​life and death, because the risk is too great.

Gu Wanqing also thought so before.

She is talented and has the appearance of a female emperor, so she naturally does not need to use this life and death path fruit to break through.

But now, she has no choice.

At the moment when Xu Ze showed his astonishing talent and cultivation, not only was her arrogance shattered, but she also felt an unprecedented sense of impatience in her heart.

This sense of impatience told her over and over again.

She is not reconciled.

Unwilling to look up to Xu Ze, unwilling to be left behind by Xu Ze!even more unwilling...

The husband who used to follow her footsteps is now at a height that she can't reach for the time being, looking down at her with unusually indifferent eyes!
Gu Wanqing knew it clearly.

There is only one way to make this unwillingness disappear...

That is to prove yourself!
"Whoo~"

Slowly exhaling a foul breath, Gu Wanqing looked in the direction of the teleportation portal.

After calculating the time, she guessed that Xu Ze and the others should have arrived at the secret realm as well.

Before entering the secret realm, Shi Yi once told her.

The reason why Xu Ze came to the secret realm was because he was worried about her...

At first, Gu Wanqing was a little happy about this, but soon she realized that what Shi Yi said might not be the truth.

Because judging from the past, she is probably just a stranger who turns a blind eye to Xu Ze.

That being the case, why would she bother herself?

After shaking her head, Gu Wanqing stopped thinking about it.

Taking a deep breath, she slowly floated up, following the trunk of the Dao of Life and Death Tree.

All the way through the thick and dense, until the surrounding air has become cold, the flourishing branches and leaves of the Taoist tree came into her eyes clearly.

Hovering in the air, Gu Wanqing looked around, and soon her eyes lit up.

I saw a palm-sized fruit in the deepest part of the branches and leaves.

The fruit hangs from the branches and is surrounded by many leaves. The strangely shaped fruit sometimes presents a vibrant green color, and sometimes becomes dark and dead.

This is the fruit of life and death!

Going up and down quickly, Gu Wanqing took off the Dao fruit with his sword, and held it carefully in the palm of his hand.

At the same time, a string of words appeared in front of her eyes.

[Dao-level items detected! 】

[Does the host want to recharge? 】

The moment the words appeared, Gu Wanqing was taken aback!
"No recharge!"

Without the slightest hesitation, she blurted out.

Worried about being forced to recharge by the system like last time, she hastily put the Dao Fruit into the storage ring.

Now Gu Wanqing has thought about it.

Although she thinks that if she continues to watch the memory screen, she should be able to know why Xu Ze has such a cultivation level and talent.

but!
Even if you know this, so what?

Can she and Xu Ze reconcile?Can what happened in the past be erased?

The answer is, no.

In the end, everything is just passing away.

Furthermore.

Every time she watches the memory screen, she will feel strong self-blame and guilt!As a result, my thoughts are disturbed and I do some boring things!
She doesn't want to make the same mistakes again!
more importantly!
Gu Wanqing realized that her system was a pit!
Regardless of the need to recharge the viewing memory, just say a little bit!
The last time she recharged to watch memories, the system clearly stated that there would be special effects after recharging, but what happened?
Nothing happened!
Therefore, Gu Wanqing has already decided that from now on, she will treat this system as if it does not exist. No matter what the system says or does, she will never watch Xu Ze's memory again!
If it weren't for the fact that this place is not suitable for taking the Dao Fruit of Life and Death, she would have eaten the Dao Fruit of Life and Death the moment the system text appeared!
Seeing that after she refused, the system fell into dead silence again, Gu Wanqing let out a long sigh of relief.

She was really worried that the system would force her to recharge directly regardless of her thoughts, and force her to watch the memory screen.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

"Just in case, I still need to find a suitable place as soon as possible to take the fruit of life and death." Gu Wanqing murmured.

After saying that, she sank and quickly reached the ground below.

But the moment she landed on the ground!
bang——

A breath visible to the naked eye suddenly appeared, forming a wave of air, coming from a distance!
Affected by the breath, not only Gu Wanqing's complexion turned pale, but even the Dao Tree of Life and Death behind her couldn't help shaking!

"The power of heaven and earth?!" Gu Wanqing was shocked, and instinctively looked in the direction of the breath.

She soon found out.

That direction is actually where the portal of teleportation is located!That is where Xu Ze and the others should be at this moment!
"Xu Ze, are you crazy?"

Gu Wanqing couldn't help exclaiming.

She guessed that Xu Ze and the others might have encountered some kind of crisis, so Xu Ze released Tianwei and wanted to fight!

Knowing the consequences of this move, she would be strangled by the great array of heaven and earth in the secret realm, Gu Wanqing was instantly anxious.

Things went as she expected.

As the power of heaven and earth became stronger and stronger, a great array of heaven and earth appeared, and a terrifying power was already brewing!
This made Gu Wanqing's complexion pale.

She faintly felt that such a terrifying power, let alone a heavenly being, even a heavenly god would not be able to bear it!
If it was someone else who was in danger at this time, Gu Wanqing would definitely run away because of fear of being affected.

But Xu Ze?
Although the two had separated, she couldn't watch Xu Ze die tragically!

Gu Wanqing knew that with her own cultivation, she couldn't help Xu Ze much.But things are not helpless.

And this method is exactly her "companion emperor source"!
This is her most important hole card. If she uses it, she can generate a trace of the emperor's breath.

Although it is only a trace, it is no exaggeration to say.

As soon as this trace of the emperor's breath comes out, no one under the saint can do anything to her!

Of course, everything has advantages and disadvantages.

The Companion Emperor Source can only be used up to three times!If this limit is exceeded, the source of the emperor will be exhausted, thus losing the possibility of becoming the emperor!

Gu Wanqing was sure.

If she rushed to Xu Ze's side, and then used the emperor's source, affected by the emperor's breath, the heaven and earth formation would definitely cancel the attack on its own!

The only question now is that the number of times Emperor Yuan can be used is limited, is it worth it?

"It's just used once, it won't affect my proof of the emperor. He is my former husband, I can't just sit idly by." Gu Wanqing said to herself.

The moment the words fell, she gritted her teeth and rushed in the direction of the breath.

But she had just soared into the sky, and she actually noticed...

The cultivation level contained in the aura that came out is still constantly rising!
Just in an instant, as if breaking through the shackles of heaven and earth, it transformed into a coercion enough to make all living beings worship!
The moment the coercion appeared, the great array of heaven and earth disappeared instantly, and the surroundings quickly returned to normal.

Affected by the coercion, Gu Wanqing fell from the air by herself and sat paralyzed on the ground.

Her beautiful eyes were wide open, her expression was dull, and she was unable to get up for a long time.

She didn't know that this was Shengwei, but she knew it!

This kind of coercion, even if she is in the body of the current ancestor of the Shengzong, she has never experienced it!
"Saint, saint?" Gu Wanqing murmured after recovering.

After speaking, she was thinking in shock again.

What do you mean?
It means that Xu Ze's real cultivation is a saint?

This is impossible!

That's a saint!Only one person has existed for thousands of years!

"Maybe, maybe the aura didn't come from Xu Ze? It's the remnant of the holy aura of the ancestor of the Sacred Ancestor, which suddenly appeared somewhere in the secret realm?" Gu Wanqing said in her heart.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt so.

Wendao, although the ancestor of the saint has fallen, the power of the saint, even after thousands of years, is still difficult to dissipate.

What's more, asking about the secret realm is about asking about the refinement of the ancestors, so it is reasonable to have the remaining breath!
Gu Wanqing instantly felt a lot more reasonable.

Xu Ze is a monk in the four realms of Emperor Zhengdi. Although she finds it unbelievable, she still accepts it.

But what if Xu Ze is a saint?
Then she wouldn't believe it no matter what!

After all, if Xu Ze was a saint, why would he marry her, a wife who was not only unable to cultivate, but also extremely ugly?
After shaking her head, Gu Wanqing got up from the ground.

Looking around, she planned to find a safe and clean place to take the Fruit of Life and Death.

Soon, her pupils shrank!
The reason for this is not that she found a suitable destination, but that she saw a red-haired maned lion, stepping on fire, coming from a distance!

With just one glance, Gu Wanqing recognized this beast.

It was the contracted monster who asked about the ancestor, the three-tailed lion with purple pupils!Its status in Shengzong is even higher than that of the ancestors of Shengzong today!

Gu Wanqing remembered that Shi Yi had told her.

This purple-eyed three-tailed lion has been staying in the secret realm of Tianyuan since the fall of the ancestor, protecting the inheritance of the ancestor.In the millennium, there has never been a step beyond the abyss of heaven.

But why did he get to the outskirts of the secret realm today?

Really unable to figure it out, Gu Wanqing gave up.

And just when she was considering, as the Saintess of the Holy Clan, if she saw the contract monster of the Holy Ancestor at this time, should she take the initiative to say hello and salute.

"Saint, here I come!" The purple-eyed three-tailed lion roared while running.

"..."

Hearing this, Gu Wanqing was taken aback again.

How can this mean that the aura just now is not the remnant of the holy ancestors of the holy ancestors, but a real saint who has appeared?
