Chapter 1601 The Tree of Life
"Master, I really want to know more about the Boundary. Although I don't have the idea of ​​immortality, I have been very curious since I learned about this Paradise in the Murongchui Underground Palace. Boundary."

"That's right, you, I, and Ghost Ancestor have mentioned many times that you want to come to the Broken Realm, but the timing has never been ripe," said the sect master.

"Actually, the time isn't ripe yet, is it? Because you don't want me to see the scene in front of you, Ghost Ancestor and Sect Master, right?" I asked tentatively.

"That's right, who told you that you have been unwilling to carry out Gui Zu's plan, and even colluded with outsiders secretly, trying to destroy our Gui Clan's plan." The sect master looked at me and said.

I lowered my head and sighed, "I don't want to either, but..."

"You don't have to be too embarrassing and guilty. I know that you, like all the clansmen, want to unravel the curse and bad luck of our clan. It's just that your method is different from that of the ghost ancestor, but why did the ghost ancestor want to harm ordinary people in the first place? Man, the reason why Ghost Ancestor chose this method to save his clansmen was because he was forced to do nothing..." The door master said with a sigh.

"I understand all this."

"Actually, Changsheng, you don't have to pity these people. Their hands are covered with blood in order to live forever. The reason why they can enter the broken world is because they slaughtered all their opponents. And I guess you can't understand why we don't All the people who participated in the battle of becoming immortals were arrested, because the tree of life can only bear fruit if it absorbs powerful experts." The door master said, staring at the person under the tree of life who was entangled by vines.

"But there are many people who are innocent, right? For example, Elder Baili, and I remember that there shouldn't be so many people who entered the boundary in the last battle of ascension, right?" I asked, staring into the eyes of the sect master.

"You guessed right, there will be some powerful people in the Tongtian Palace who tried to gain the power of the sky, entered the Waterfall of Despair, and eventually became the fertilizer of the Tree of Life..." the door owner said.

"Chemical fertilizer... I think these people must be very desperate after learning the truth. The name of this waterfall of despair is really good." I said with a wry smile.

I have never been able to accept the ghost clan's indifference and hatred towards ordinary people. When the head of the sect compared these masters of the spiritual world to fertilizers, I felt even more disobedient and resentful.

"Changsheng, I know you're upset. But don't forget how those ordinary people treated us, treated us like laboratory mice for vivisection, and burned us alive as disaster stars. Everything they did was even more insane. !” said the door owner excitedly.

"This..." Hearing what the sect master said, I recalled the clips that Ghost Ancestor showed me back then. I sighed and my mood became very complicated.

"Changsheng, don't think too much, I will take you to the ancient town of our Gui clan to meet the elders of Baili. I will tell you about the origin of our clan along the way..." The head of the door clapped My shoulders lead me to the quaint town in the distance.

The head of the sect first recounted to me the formation of our ghost clan at the beginning. It was the era of the Five Husbands and China, and four fifths of the Han people died in the war in the Central Plains, and even the underworld was in chaos.

So at that time, the ghosts who were all over the place mistakenly took the ancestors who went south as undead and brought them into the underworld. But halfway through, the ghosts suddenly realized that something was wrong, so they simply left the ancestors in a mysterious space between the world and the underworld, that is, The boundary where I am.

While the door master was talking, he took me to the river next to the tree of life. Looking at the river shining with white light, the door master said to me: "Actually, the broken boundary more than 600 years ago is not what you see now. It looks like, except for this river and the huge tree of life, there are deserts everywhere, and there is no edible thing at all. But fortunately, there is such a river, after drinking the water in this river, the ancestors not only I feel thirsty and I feel full.”

"Can you really satisfy your hunger by drinking this river water?" I was hungry for a while, looking at the cold and white river water in front of me, it really seemed to fill my stomach with a sip.

But the door master shook his head slightly at this time, "Satiety is just an illusion. In the end, our ancestors still need to eat some real food."

"But isn't there any food in the broken world?"

"Yes, in the end, the ancestors ate the branches and bark of the tree of life for a living. Although these things are difficult to swallow, they can support the ancestors just like this river. So later, the ancestors took this huge tree The towering ancient tree is called the tree of life, and the river emitting white light is called the river of hope, which symbolizes bright hope, and the tree of life symbolizes the continuation of life. Changsheng, you didn’t eat anything along the way, drink Take a sip of water, why not taste the water of the Hope River." The gatekeeper said to me with a smile.

I nodded and prostrated myself on the bank to take a sip of the river water.After drinking the cold and sweet river water, I really felt a sense of fullness, and my whole body was indescribably comfortable, and the unhappiness and haze in my heart were swept away.

"This river water is really amazing, everything in the broken world looks so incredible." I said excitedly looking at all the new things around me.

"There is something that surprises you even more and makes you feel even more miraculous. Changsheng, don't you think that something I just said is not quite right?" asked.

"Something's not right?" I thought about it carefully, and suddenly thought of something, and said quickly, "By the way, just now, Sect Master, you said that when the ancestors first came to the boundary, there was nothing here except the Tree of Life and the River of Hope. Desert, but now there are tall and lush trees everywhere around here. The Temple of the Underworld and the ancient town are easy to understand, and they must have been built later, but these trees are strange in shape and are not human species, and they certainly did not get saplings from the world and plant them. Right? Then where did these trees come from?"

"You will be surprised when I say it. These small trees of life are actually every ancestor of our ghost clan, every clansman who lost their lives..." The door master sighed looking at the lush trees around him.
