The Alternative Way of Enlightenment

Chapter 232: Incomplete Stone Man
"It's the ancient tea tree of enlightenment!" Princess Divine Silkworm spoke in a cold voice, and her purple eyes began to look at the little girl in front of her.

Although the Princess of the Divine Silkworm is a great sage, she can only barely discover the elixir of immortality deep in the mountain. After all, this is the Immortal Mountain, and there are all kinds of mysterious forces interfering. But the little girl, who has no cultivation at all, can discover it directly!

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, little Nannan was a little at a loss.

"Little girl is so amazing!" Liu Shan began to praise gently.

"That ancient tree is covered with strange leaves of different colors, and the trunk is still glowing!" Little Nannan blinked her big eyes and said innocently.

After hearing what Xiao Nannan said, everyone started to feel excited. Even Liu Shan couldn't help but feel itchy. Although he still had several thousand pieces of ancient Wudao tea leaves, who would complain about having too much of such a thing!
Ahead was the ancient tea tree of Wudao. Even though they were in a forbidden zone of life, everyone couldn't help but get excited.

"There are countless array patterns engraved here, so everyone should be careful!" Liu Shan couldn't help but remind them that although the elixir of immortality is precious, if you make a mistake, you will really die.

Led by the Princess of the Divine Silkworm, a great sage who was proficient in formation patterns, the group did not encounter any danger and passed through a black mountain safely.

There was a flash of light, and the array patterns on the ground began to glow, and a figure appeared in front of everyone.

Stone man!

A humanoid creature without flesh and blood appeared in front of everyone. It was made of stone and was very burly, but half of its head had been chopped off and only one eye was left.

This is a nine-orifice stone man, just like the one in the stone archway of the Holy City before, who can become a holy spirit in the future.

But it was also discovered by someone. It was born too early, which resulted in its incomplete gestation. Moreover, its body parts were dug out and taken away, so its body was half-destroyed.

Looking at the stone man that was emitting murderous intent towards everyone, Liu Shan felt a little sorry. This stone man was already half-crippled, and had only the cultivation level of a half-step great power. There would not be much use in converting it.

Seeing that Liu Shan was not interested, the Princess of the Divine Silkworm directly attacked the stone man who was running towards the crowd.

With just a simple blow, the stone man, who was full of murderous intent, turned into a pile of stones and fell to the ground.

Unfortunately, this stone fetus, born and raised by nature, could become a peerless holy spirit as long as it continued to grow and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.

Unfortunately, although it was favored by heaven and earth, it was born millions of years earlier due to the difficulty of human disasters.

"Sister Divine Silkworm, are you observing those patterns on the ground?" Little girl's cute voice rang out.

The Princess of Divine Silkworm, who was investigating the formation pattern, couldn't help but look back when she heard what Xiao Nannan said. She didn't dare to neglect this mysterious little girl.

"Little girl, did you see anything?" Liu Shan asked in a gentle voice.

"I see that wherever Sister Divine Silkworm chooses to go, there will be a lot of golden little snakes." Little Nannan replied obediently.

"Can you see the array patterns on the ground!" Princess Divine Silkworm couldn't help but ask.

"It was invisible at first, but following the footsteps of Sister Divine Silkworm, many strange patterns slowly appeared underground, some black, some golden." Little Nannan cutely explained to the Divine Silkworm Princess.

"Where is the golden pattern in front?" Liu Shan asked.

"That! It's so crooked, like a little snake twisting." The little girl pointed to the ground and gestured cutely.

After hearing what Xiao Nannan said, everyone looked at the Princess of the Divine Silkworm, hoping to get her approval.

The Princess of the Divine Silkworm looked at the little girl on the dragon horse's back in disbelief, but still nodded slightly.

"The golden patterns she pointed out are the correct way to survive!" Princess Silkworm said in disbelief. After careful calculation, she figured out that it was the same route that little Nannan had casually pointed out.

"Little girl, where do the golden lines lead to? How far can you see?" Pangbo asked excitedly.

"In the depths of the mountains, very far, very far away, it turned into a huge golden dragon behind it, and passed by the ancient tree we saw before!" said little Nannan cutely.

"We will proceed according to Xiao Nannan's instructions, and Your Highness, you will continue to calculate according to Xiao Nannan's instructions." Liu Shan began to give instructions to everyone.

After hearing Liu Shan's words, Princess Divine Silkworm agreed after a little thought. With clear instructions, she could calculate much faster.

Calculate it again, and even if little Nannan makes a mistake, she can point it out in time.

Everyone continued to move forward. Although there were many ancient trees blocking their way, they could still sense the unique aura of the immortal elixir.

Even as they were getting closer, everyone's hearts gradually became empty, without any worries or joy.

Although they had not practiced, they all seemed to be enlightened, with countless inspirations flowing in their hearts. "It is indeed the legendary immortal medicine!" Pang Bo said excitedly. This was truly a great opportunity.

Continuing forward, the ancient tree in front became clearly visible.

The Wudao Ancient Tea Tree is not tall, only about three meters high, but it is very peculiar, like a coiled dragon lying on the ground, with its cracked bark spread out like dragon scales, and each leaf on it is unique, as if carved from jade, crystal clear and sparkling with the glow of the sunset.

"It seems like there is a figure!" Little Nannan suddenly shouted.

After hearing what Xiao Nannan said, everyone started to panic. Is there someone next to the elixir of immortality?
Are they creatures from the Immortal Mountain or strange creatures?
Liu Shan was also a little frightened at this time. Was the figure beside the ancient tea tree an illusion of the emperor or a real living being?

Everyone hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to move forward. After all, this was a life-restricted zone.

After thinking about it, Liu Shan felt that it should be the legendary mark of the emperor. He began to silently sacrifice the Green Lotus Emperor Soldier, walked in front of the crowd, and purple-gold divine light shot out from his eyes.

Sure enough, in the eyes of Yuan Tianshen, there was a human figure among the swaying shadows of the trees, but it was not clear.

Liu Shan wanted to approach slowly, but the Divine Silkworm Princess beside him suddenly reached out and grabbed him. The Immortal Mountain was too dangerous, and even with the protection of the Supreme Emperor's soldiers, it was not safe.

"We'll go together." Princess Shencan looked at Liu Shan and whispered these words. With her protection, he could escape unscathed even in a crisis.

So the two of them slowly approached, and were only a few hundred feet away from the ancient tea tree of enlightenment. Everything in front of them was gradually becoming clear.

Sure enough, there was a blurry figure pacing back and forth in front of the ancient tree. Even though the two were so close, they still couldn't notice the figure.

Liu Shan had completely relaxed at this time, because he had seen a huge bell with thousands of chaotic auras dropping above the figure's head.

It is exactly the same as the Wu Shi Emperor Bell in Zishan Mountain. It is indeed the mark of the Great Emperor.

"Don't worry, it's just the emperor's shadow." Liu Shan said to the Princess of Divine Silkworm.

Now the Princess of the Divine Silkworm has also discovered that the human figure in front of the ancient tea tree of enlightenment does not exist in real life, but is just the mark of an almighty figure.

The two of them slowly returned to the crowd and explained to everyone, and everyone felt relieved.

"It's actually the legendary Wu Shi Emperor." Ye Fan and others exclaimed in amazement. Watching the emperor at such a close distance, even though he was just a phantom from tens of thousands of years ago, was enough to shock people. He seemed to be walking against the long river of time, looking extremely mysterious and hazy.

Jiang Taixu also walked in front of the crowd, staring at the figure with some emotion. He had been trapped in Purple Mountain for four thousand years, but had never really seen the figure of the Wu Shi Great Emperor. Unexpectedly, he had the honor of seeing the mark of the Wu Shi Great Emperor in the Immortal Mountain.

Finally, the figure disappeared, as if nothing existed and everything that had just happened was just a dream.

Before everyone had time to sigh, another figure appeared in front of the ancient enlightenment tree.

She was only a vague shadow, but she seemed to be in a huge black hole with a ghost-faced jar floating inside.

"The ruthless emperor!"

Everyone was a little excited. Liu Shan had previously shared the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art and the Immortal Heaven Art with everyone, so everyone had some insights.

Now the shadow of the emperor was right in front of them, and everyone began to suppress the fear in their hearts and comprehend the emperor's Tao rhyme.

Every move of the ancient emperors contains the rhyme of Tao. To cultivators, these are the traces of the real existence of the Tao.

Even though it was just an illusion, the black hole seemed to exist in reality, as if it would swallow up everyone in the next moment. Just a trace of its energy seemed to be able to cause the heaven and earth to collapse.

Not long after, the shadow of the ruthless emperor disappeared, and the bone-chilling chill also dissipated from everyone's hearts.

Everyone gained a lot, Liu Shan and Long Li gained even more. If they had not been in the Immortal Mountain, they would have wanted to trigger the heavenly tribulation and break through again.

"Great Emperor."

Everyone was deeply moved when they actually saw the Great Emperor's mark. Hundreds of thousands of years had passed, but the Great Emperor's mark was still able to remain indestructible. How amazing it was.

Liu Shan was also thinking at this time, is it because these two figures still exist, so the Dao traces have not dissipated, or is it because the emperor himself possesses the ability to seize the sky.

Everyone moved towards the ancient tree of enlightenment again. Everyone's hearts, at some point, became peaceful, as if they were nourished by the great Dao.

Liu Shan felt neither sad nor happy at this moment. The heart of the enlightenment tree on his chest began to glow slightly, and the halo of light sprinkled on his chest. For a moment, he seemed to forget all his troubles.
