Chapter 158 A Tree Root

"Yes, the mission she gave me is to find this ancient coffin, take out the contents and give it to her. There is one of this kind of ancient coffin in every major state in the world. Gathering the thirty-six ancient coffins and taking out the contents is my mission. I cannot disobey."

Zhang Qian's expression froze, and he nodded: "You mean there are thirty-six of these ancient bronze coffins? Covering the thirty-six states of the world? Let me see what's inside."

Being able to set up such a magnificent ancient immortal formation in every major state of the 36 states in the world is a huge undertaking, and the manpower and material resources consumed are unimaginable. Zhang Qian vaguely felt that he was about to touch upon a terrible secret.

When his spiritual sense swept over, he found that although the restriction on the ancient bronze coffin was an immortal restriction, after countless years, most of the power of this immortal restriction had been consumed, and even some of the nodes of the immortal restriction had been damaged. But at this moment, Zhang Qian was able to break this immortal restriction.

He stared at the ancient coffin, and after a long while, he finally captured the restriction nodes that were constantly moving in the immortal restriction.

Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi...!
Zhang Qian suddenly stretched out his fingers and pointed randomly, each finger pointed at the node of the immortal ban. After a while, the ancient bronze coffin made a loud noise, and all the immortal bans on it disappeared.

Boom!
As soon as the immortal ban disappeared, the entire ancient bronze coffin shook violently. Before Zhang Qian could take any action, the lid of the ancient bronze coffin was directly shaken away.

Bang!

The coffin lid fell to the ground, and Zhang Qian and Zhan Taixuan looked into the ancient bronze coffin.

"This...this is!"

There was nothing else in the ancient coffin except a winding and twisted tree root!

This tree root is hazy, emitting wisps of chaotic air, and at first glance, one can feel that this tree root is full of vitality and contains infinite power of creation, just like the source of vitality and creation.

"How could it be a tree root?"

Zhang Qian was puzzled, but Zhan Taixuan sighed. Her body shook and she felt her blood boiling. Then an illusory tree root appeared behind her.

This tree root is very similar to the tree root in the ancient coffin, which made Zhang Qian narrow his eyes.

"You...is this your ancient immortal root?"

This illusory tree root is Zhan Taixuan's ancient immortal root, and it is also the reason why she can break through her cultivation so quickly.

And at this moment, when Zhan Taixuan's ancient immortal root appeared, the vitality of the tree roots in the ancient coffin boiled, and infinite chaotic light bloomed, illuminating the entire stone chamber.

At the same time, a pressure far exceeding Zhang Qian's current Golden Immortal pressure broke out. This pressure was terrifying and several times stronger than Zhang Qian's current pressure!
Before Zhang Qian could take a closer look, he saw the tree roots in the ancient coffin fly up directly and then turned into a chaotic light. It flew behind Zhan Taixuan at an incredible speed and directly merged with the ancient immortal roots behind her.

hum!
As soon as the fusion took place, Zhan Taixuan's ancient immortal root vibrated violently, and then it changed its appearance directly. The ancient immortal root was lifeless before, but now it is full of vitality.

Zhan Taixuan involuntarily sat cross-legged on the ground with her eyes closed. Her breath was intermittent and her figure seemed to be between existence and non-existence, making her unpredictable.

A moment later, the ancient immortal root behind Zhan Taixuan underwent a huge change. This hazy ancient immortal root first solidified, and then curled up like a living thing, becoming a hazy ball.

This round ball seemed to be a mysterious egg. After a while, the egg began to swell and shrink. Seeing this, Zhang Qian's heart tightened and he felt a little worried.

Before he could make any move, cracks appeared on the gray egg.

Click, click, click...!
The cracks continued to spread, and finally the gray egg exploded directly, and a magnificent force of life and vitality rose into the sky. The source of this force of life and vitality was a seed the size of a thumb. This strange seed was extremely round, and there was a slightly exposed root under the seed.

The seed slowly rotated, as if showing its birth, and an endless amount of vitality from creation bloomed. After a long while, the vitality from creation that had surged into the sky dissipated, and the seed also calmed down.

At this moment, the tiny roots under the seed suddenly shook, pierced through the void directly, and took root in the depths of an unknown void, as if drawing some power from the depths of the void!
Zhang Qian was confused by this change. Zhan Taixuan had a frown on his face, as if he was going through something. After half an hour, Zhan Taixuan's aura suddenly increased, and he became more ethereal, as if he would disappear with the wind at any time.

"Xuan'er!"

Zhang Qian called out, and Zhan Taixuan gave him a reassuring look. Without her moving, the seed behind her disappeared.

"How are you? What's up with this seed?"

Zhang Qian had countless questions at this moment, but he didn't know where to start.

Zhan Taixuan calmed down and said slowly, "I have gained a great benefit this time. My ancient immortal root has now merged with the tree root and turned into an ancient immortal seed. This immortal seed now has only one root, which can take root in the void and absorb the endless power of the void to turn into pure spiritual energy to help me practice."

Zhang Qian narrowed his eyes and said in surprise: "So, with this immortal seed, doesn't it mean that you are practicing in seclusion all the time!"

"That's right! And with this immortal seed, I can practice freely even in a remote place without any spiritual energy, but..."

Seeing the worry on Zhan Taixuan's face, Zhang Qian hurriedly asked: "Who is the one who gave you the mission?"

After hearing Zhang Qianxiang's question, Zhan Taixuan hesitated. She said slowly, "The name of that being cannot be told. As long as I tell her the name, no matter how far away she is, she will know it immediately. You see!"

Having said that, Zhan Taixuan suddenly manifested the ancient immortal seed, then pointed at the tiny roots underneath the immortal seed and gave Zhang Qian a look.

Zhang Qian was shocked, and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes. He now knew who had given Zhan Taixuan the mission.

After knowing this, Zhang Qian felt relieved but also felt a sense of fear.

"I see. You mean that being is not a human, but..."

Zhang Qian pointed and a light appeared. The light turned into an illusory giant tree. Zhang Qian pointed at the illusory giant tree and looked at Zhan Taixuan with a questioning look.

There was fear in Zhan Taixuan's eyes and he nodded slowly.

“I see! It turns out to be…!”

Zhang Qian suddenly realized. Combined with the fact that after Zhan Taixuan opened the Sword Gourd Cave Heaven that day, the towering tree that appeared from the Pearl's Yuantai, Zhang Qian understood that the one who gave Zhan Taixuan the mission was the legendary world tree that stood tall and straight!

It is incredible that Zhan Taixuan was born from the split soul of the World Tree.

"Didn't they say that the tree was destroyed in ancient times? Why..."

At this point, Zhang Qian suddenly stopped talking. After a while, he murmured, "Yes, that tree is a towering thing, similar to the Buzhou Divine Mountain. How can it be destroyed just like that? Legends are just legends after all. A root of that tree is sealed in the bronze coffin in this secret realm, and there are a total of thirty-six such secret realms. So..."
