#1797 - Enter the Skin Tree!

On the way to the Skin Sack Hong Tree, Ji Dongfeng distracted himself by entering the God Mountain and summoning the Peak Master of望月 Peak.

"Are the rat people of the First Heaven your descendants?" Ji Dongfeng asked directly.

The Peak Master of望月 Peak heard this, and nodded with an embarrassed expression, saying, "Ahem, yes."

"Why did you drive them out of the God Mountain?" Ji Dongfeng asked.

"Because... the number of rat people was simply too large, growing explosively. Even the God Mountain couldn't accommodate so many. Therefore, the Lord of the God Mountain at the time ordered that 90% of the rat people be transferred out. To avoid affecting the God Mountain, their memories of the God Mountain were also erased."

"...Next question, what's the deal with that 'Zi Rat'? The name sounds like it's related to the Twelve Zodiacs."

"When the rat people were driven out of the God Mountain, the Lord of the God Mountain at the time left a chance for the rat people to change their fate. A descendant would appear among the rat people of the First Heaven, and this descendant would be born with complete memories of the God Mountain. The timing of this descendant's appearance is completely random. I remember the probability is about... one in ten trillion. This probability has remained unchanged for eternity. I really didn't expect them to actually encounter it with such a low probability," the Peak Master of望月 Peak said in a deep voice.

"As for the name 'Zi Rat,' I really don't know what's going on. Maybe it's a coincidence."

Ji Dongfeng heard this and said in a deep voice, "It's definitely not a coincidence. There was a 'Hai Pig' in the Forging Sect before, and now there's a 'Zi Rat.' There must be some connection between them."

"Last question, if the rat people of the First Heaven return to the God Mountain, will their bloodline be completed?" Ji Dongfeng asked.

"I don't know about that. As far as I know, there's no such saying, but perhaps there are some secrets I don't know about."

"...I understand. There will be a creature called 'Little Zi Rat' coming in a moment. Treat it well, but don't let it leave望月 Peak for the time being."

"Yes."

After a few words, Ji Dongfeng exited the God Mountain.

"Little Zi Rat, you can enter the God Mountain now, but I must remind you, don't run around after entering the God Mountain," Ji Dongfeng said.

Little Zi Rat heard this and shouted excitedly, "Thank you! Thank you! If you ever see any treasures you like! Just tell me! I'll steal them for you! I've mastered four divine abilities now, all related to stealing treasures!"

"Hey, don't call it stealing, call it 'taking without asking,'" Ji Dongfeng chuckled.

"I think we can cooperate in the future," Liao Wushengqu said to Little Zi Rat in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Dongfeng moved his mind and directly took Little Zi Rat into the God Mountain's望月 Peak, then sped up his pace towards the Skin Sack Hong Tree.

Heading east, Ji Dongfeng passed one Hong Tree after another, cleaning up the negative emotions he encountered along the way.

An hour later, Ji Dongfeng arrived at the far east. He fixed his eyes and found that the front was a vast white world. As far as the eye could see, there were no negative emotions and no Hong Trees. Everything here seemed to be reduced to nothingness, with no substance.

Seeing this, Ji Dongfeng frowned slightly, and his left eye trembled slightly. The Divine Eye opened!

"Boom!"

The next moment, under the gaze of the Divine Eye, all the white mist burned, quickly turning into ashes like dense spider webs.

More than ten breaths later, ashes fell from the sky. Ji Dongfeng fixed his eyes and found that a Hong Tree slowly emerged in the distance. This Hong Tree was extremely strange. It looked only a hundred meters tall, but its trunk was extremely twisted, so twisted that the patterns on the bark looked like hideous human faces.

This Hong Tree had no leaves, and all its branches were intertwined to form a huge circular bird's nest.

"It looks... like a lollipop?" Liao Wushengqu said.

"You're quite humorous," Ji Dongfeng chuckled. His figure flickered, and he quickly advanced towards this Hong Tree. But before he could advance far, stone walls appeared in front of him. These stone walls fell from the sky, twelve in total, with a stone carving in the center. The carving was a hideous human face, staring angrily at Ji Dongfeng.

Seeing this, Ji Dongfeng raised his eyebrows, stretched his muscles, and said, "It looks like a good wall to crash into, what a pity..."

"This is not a place you should come to," the human face on the first stone wall slowly opened its mouth.

Ji Dongfeng heard this and chuckled, saying, "I wonder if the Skin Sack Hong Tree is ahead."

"So what if it is."

"If it is, it proves that I've come to the right place. Are you the guardians of this Skin Sack Hong Tree?"

"We are not guarding the Skin Sack Hong Tree. Without proof of identity, you cannot proceed. Turn back immediately."

Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred upon hearing this, and he took out the Skin Sack Diagram.

"Is this the proof you want?" Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice.

The stone wall was stunned at first, then took a deep look at Ji Dongfeng.

"Bang!"

At the same time, every time Ji Dongfeng passed through a stone wall, the stone wall would close with a bang, as if it would never open again.

"Damn it, something feels wrong," Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice, pausing his steps. He took out the Six-Yao Copper Coins and calculated a divination for the creatures in the exclusive space.

"Ding..."

The three copper coins landed on the stone slab road, spinning endlessly, with no result for a long time.

"Do not delay. Since you have made up your mind, why hesitate?"

Listening to the shouts of the stone walls, Ji Dongfeng curled his lips and said, "Damn it, I'll crash through all of you sooner or later. The copper coins are uncertain, the future is unpredictable, interesting. I want to see what's inside this Skin Sack Hong Tree."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Dongfeng put away the copper coins, quickened his pace, quickly passed through the twelve stone walls, and arrived in front of the Skin Sack Hong Tree!

"Welcome, Masked One!"

The next moment, a shout came from inside the Skin Sack Hong Tree. Ji Dongfeng looked up and found that on the trunk of the Skin Sack Hong Tree, countless twisted human faces all turned to look at him. All the faces were smiling, but the smiles looked sinister and eerie. At the same time, at the very bottom of the trunk, a space channel slowly emerged, and a figure wearing a black robe and a white mask slowly walked out.

"Sir, please enter," the figure said in a low voice, making a gesture of invitation.

"Human?" Ji Dongfeng asked.

"My skin sack will automatically change into the race that the Lord trusts the most. I have no shape," the figure said.
