Qin Lang originally thought that in the nothingness at the edge of his mind, there was just an endless chaotic space. He never thought that there was such a space hidden in his mind.
The whole world was covered in golden light, and it took Qin Lang's eyes a few minutes to adjust. Looking around, a big golden tree appeared in Qin Lang's eyes.
This big tree is extremely huge, tall and towering into the sky, its branches cover all directions like it blocks out the sky and the sun, and its roots are rooted in the boundless nothingness, spreading to no one knows where.
There were nine golden fruits hanging on the huge branches, and what really surprised Qin Lang was that there were only nine fruits on such a huge tree?
These nine fruits are of different sizes. The largest one hangs on the top of the tree, while the other eight smaller ones are hung in various corners of the branches of the big tree. Some are hung higher, while others are
In a very low position.
"What kind of tree is this? Can the fruits on the tree be eaten?" Qin Lang's foodie nature showed up again and he flew towards the big tree.
Since it exists in my own mind, there must be no danger.
Qin Lang thought about this and flew all the way. Soon, he flew under the big tree.
After getting closer, Qin Lang was once again amazed by the hugeness of the tree. Only by standing under its trunk could he feel its hugeness.
Not to mention the branches and leaves that cover it like a canopy, the thick trunk alone is like a wall, no, it should be a city wall.
The trunk of this big tree was almost as huge as a small city, and looking up, with Qin Lang's eyesight, he couldn't even see the top of the big tree.
"My dear, I don't know it until I see it. I'm shocked to see that there is such a big guy in my mind." Qin Lang sighed as he approached the big tree, walked up to it, and slowly walked towards it.
He stretched out his hand and touched the trunk of the big tree.
A feeling of extreme intimacy arose from Qin Lang's heart, like a child touching his mother's face. It was extremely warm and reassuring. At the same time, all the vitality in his body became restless.
It was an indescribable joy, and there was also a deep sense of belonging contained in it.
"It seems that the power that protects me is derived from this big tree. Perhaps my special golden energy is also due to this big tree." Qin Lang murmured, he liked this very much.
The feeling made him feel like he wanted to stay here forever and never go out again.
"Hahaha, little guy, I really saw you right. In just a few years, you were able to find this place. It's really beyond my expectation."
Just when Qin Lang was enjoying this feeling with peace of mind, an old voice sounded, with a hint of relief in the vicissitudes of life.
"Who are you?" Qin Lang followed the sound and saw an old man with a golden body floating down from the tree. He looked very strange, but his voice sounded familiar.
"What? Even I forgot? If it weren't for me, would you be here today?" The old man said to Qin Lang with a smile, looking at Qin Lang online, his eyes unabashedly showing satisfaction.
"You, you are, you are that mysterious old man at the bottom of the lake? Oh no, old man?" Qin Lang suddenly remembered such a person, and the two voices gradually overlapped, and the surprise on his face became more and more intense.
"Hey, little guy, it seems you are not a white-eyed wolf." The old man nodded happily. If he had forgotten about it, then Qin Lang would be too heartless.
Qin Lang took a deep breath to soothe his restless emotions, and the scenes at the bottom of the lake came to his mind. It was precisely because of this old man that he changed everything about him and gave him unparalleled talent and strength.
, what the old man said just now is right. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be where I am today.
"Master, please bow to me, disciple." Qin Lang bent his knees and knelt on the ground, then kowtowed heavily towards the old man.
"Hahaha!" The old man looked up to the sky and laughed. He quickly took a few steps forward, helped Qin Lang up, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect that I could accept such a disciple? This feeling is really amazing. Okay.
Okay, I trained you, I can afford your worship, so what if I accept you as my disciple?"
Perhaps because he was too excited, there was an obvious tremor in the old man's voice, and his eyes were a little moist, but the unabashed smile on his face fully revealed his emotions.
"Master..." Qin Lang called softly, "This disciple still doesn't know the master's surname."
"Haha, it doesn't matter." The old man patted Qin Lang on the shoulder, then turned around quietly, wiped his eyes inadvertently, and then turned back to Qin Lang and said: "I am the ninth in the ranking, so you can call me Master Ninth.
alright."
"Nine, Master Ninth." Qin Lang called out awkwardly. What's going on? He recognizes a master and doesn't even know his name, but he knows he is the ninth master? But it doesn't matter. The name is just a code name. Master
He is always the master. Although Master Ninth did not teach him any powerful martial arts skills, the grace of cultivation is greater than any kind of kindness.
"Master Ninth, why are you in my mind? Where is this place? What's going on with this big tree?" Qin Lang's mind is now filled with ten thousand whys, and he urgently needs someone to help him.
answer.
"Haha, don't worry. Since you are here, it means you are qualified to know all this. Listen to me and tell you slowly." Master Ninth patted Qin Lang on the shoulder, indicating that he should not be anxious, and then grabbed him directly.
Qin Lang's shoulders flew up towards the big tree.
In the blink of an eye, he flew from the bottom of the trunk to a huge branch. On the top of the branch, there was a golden fruit.
"Let's take a look." Master Ninth pointed at the golden fruit and said to Qin Lang.
When Qin Lang heard this, he looked over.
The golden fruit is about the size of a human being. It looks like a human being sitting cross-legged. The surface of the fruit is as smooth as new, shining with dazzling golden light. There is a golden fruit pedicle on the head, which connects the fruit to the branches.
stand up.
Qin Lang looked at it and found nothing special, then turned back and looked at Master Ninth inexplicably.
"What? Didn't you find it? Can you take a closer look?" Master Ninth said with a smile.
Although Qin Lang was surprised, he still followed Master Ninth's instructions and walked into the golden fruit. When he finally saw the true face of the fruit, he was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
At this time, Master Ninth walked up and said with a smile: "Why, have you finally discovered it?"
"What, what, what's going on? Why am I hung on this tree?" Qin Lang said incoherently.
That golden fruit looked exactly like Qin Lang sitting cross-legged. His voice and appearance were exactly the same, and even the faint feeling of wretchedness was lifelike.
"Yes, this is you. Or to put it another way, this represents you now." Master Ninth said in a solemn voice.
"Me now?" Qin Lang became more and more confused.
"This place is not actually in your mind, but another space. You just came here through the void and chaotic space with your spiritual thoughts." Master Ninth said to Qin Lang.
"Well, I've noticed this." Qin Lang nodded secretly.
"Only when your strength has reached a certain level and you can penetrate the void and chaos in your mind, can you come here. After I handed the task to you at the bottom of the lake, I returned here and waited for your arrival." Jiu
The master said slowly, as if talking to himself.
Qin Lang didn't speak anymore, but listened carefully.
"This tree is called the 'Nine Treasure Tree'. It was born in the highest level of the thirty-six heavens, the Great Luotian. It covers all directions, guards the world, and suppresses all evil intentions in the world. I am originally from this tree.
A fruit, Nuo, is the one you see." Master Ninth pointed at the 'Qin Lang' hanging on the branch.
"I am the ninth fruit conceived by the Nine Treasure Tree. This is why I asked you to call me Master Nine."
"And the Nine Treasure Tree also has a more important responsibility, which is to guard the plane passage connecting other worlds." Master Ninth's eyes gradually became sharp.
"You even have the Evil Lord's right hand, so you must have a certain understanding of foreign races. In that unprecedented war, countless strong men fell, and all lives were devastated. At the last moment, the nine strongest men in our world
, at the expense of himself, he transformed into a Nine Treasure Tree, sealed the plane passage, and blocked the alien race at the other end of the plane, thus giving the world a chance to survive." Master Ninth said with emotion.
Qin Lang's blood boiled with excitement when he heard that the nine strongest men actually sacrificed themselves with fearless spirit in order to preserve their lives for eternity. This was simply beyond description as noble.
"The nine strongest people have transformed into nine fruits, absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth, nourishing the nine treasure trees, and sealing the passage of the plane. And I am one of these nine people. However, I can no longer remember the end of my previous life.
Who is it, hahaha, I'm so confused." Master Ninth laughed to himself, with a hint of endless sadness in his words.
When Qin Lang heard this, he was extremely shocked. Master Ninth was actually one of the nine strongest people in the world in ancient times? To what extent?
"Haha, I don't know how many years have passed now. The plane passage that has been silent for countless years has become restless again. The aliens are taking action again. The nine of us are naturally extremely vigilant. It's just that this time, the aliens don't know
What method was used to activate a large amount of evil energy, which overflowed from the plane passage, not only dispersed into the heavens and the world, but even infected the Nine Treasure Tree." Master Ninth said this.
He clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth. He seemed to hate the alien race to the extreme.
"In up to ten thousand years, the Nine Treasure Tree will be completely infected by the evil energy. When the Nine Treasure Tree dies and the seal is broken, aliens will come to the world again, and a great disaster will come again. But this time, there will be no strongest person in the world for all eternity.
." Master Ninth said worriedly.
"So, the nine of us dispersed throughout the ages, looking for successors, and also looking for the nine strongest people of the new generation." Master Ninth looked at Qin Lang and said faintly.
"Then Master Ninth, what happens after you find them? Who are they?" Qin Lang finally asked the biggest question he had ever had.
"I don't know who they are. I only know that the nine of them are the ones most likely to become the strongest. Find them, use their essence and blood to restore the vitality of the Nine Treasures, expel evil spirits, and suppress them permanently.
The evil plane." Master Ninth's eyes flashed and he said in a heavy voice.
