Peerless Taoist

In front of Lu Yu, there was a spacious hall. The walls around it were resplendent, and it was the golden light emitted by the ancient demonic language engraved on it.    

As soon as he stepped into the center of the hall, he could faintly hear the sound of chanting. It was as if he was really in the ancient era where demons praised and tens of thousands of beasts worshiped.    

In the center of the hall, there was an ancient tree with leaves and branches.    

A single tree formed a forest, and countless branches extended in every direction. There were traces of the Great Dao on the leaves, and they gave off an ancient and mysterious feeling.    

Anyone that stood under this ancient tree would feel tiny, and they would even feel a sense of submission from the bottom of their heart.    

However, what shocked Lu Yu the most was the desolate Qi floating on the ancient tree.    

The boundless desolate Qi.    

This Desolation Qi was even more than the Desolation Qi that Lu Yu had plundered when he destroyed the ancient demon stronghold!    

If he wanted to continue cultivating on the path of the Immortal Dao, he needed this desolate Qi. Even some Immortal Weapons needed this desolate Qi to level up.    

According to Lu Yu's speculation, the path of cultivation of the ancient True Immortals was very likely to be the same as that of the Outer Sky. The desolate Qi was unique to the Outer Sky. It was like how a person could only survive by breathing. If one wanted to walk the path of a True Immortal, only by breathing in such desolate Qi could one continue walking.    

Ever since the ancient calamity, the desolate Qi had become extremely scarce. In order to be able to continue cultivating, future generations had divided the cultivation system into the "Three Steps of Dao Comprehension." From the first step of the Dragon Qi Stage to the last step of the Daolord Realm, one could cultivate without the desolate Qi at all.    

However, it turned out that those who walked the path of a True Immortal were stronger.    

Although Lu Yu had once plundered some desolate Qi from the hands of ancient demons, the amount of desolate Qi he had plundered was nothing more than drinking poison to quench his thirst. Now that he saw such a dense desolate Qi, even Lu Yu was slightly stunned.    

"This is a Bodhi tree. It is said that the ancient True Buddha comprehended the Dao under the Bodhi tree. That tree also received the inheritance of the Great Dao and became the ancient Yao Ancestor. Could it be the legendary tree?"    

Lu Yu came to the front of the giant tree and observed it carefully.    

There were many ravines on the tree, and the old bark was covered with traces of time. It was as if it had really existed since ancient times.    

Lu Yu felt a powerful aura from this tree. Although it was hidden, with Lu Yu's soul power, it was impossible for the other party to hide.    

"Why are you hiding? Come out!" Lu Yu said.    

The ancient tree was silent. The entire palace was tightly sealed, and no wind blew in.    

"It's good that you've continued to remain silent. I treat this place as an ownerless land. Don't blame me for taking away your inheritance." Lu Yu stretched out his hand, and a ball of golden flame was burning on his fingertip.    

The Heavenly Emperor Flame burned fiercely, and the surrounding space began to tremble violently.    

Under this threat, the branches of the ancient tree began to tremble slightly, and the leaves on the tree rustled.    

The whole tree seemed to wake up from a deep sleep, and the aura of a soul came from the trunk. The power was old and decayed, and it also carried a strong will. It was as if all the worlds in the world had to submit to this will.    

Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly blurted out, "I didn't expect that you would still be alive, Demonic Ancestor."
