Chapter 2241 Breaking Free and Arranging Thoughts

Chen Qingyuan's body was trembling slightly, and the pain was getting worse.

He struggled, trying to break free from his cage and return to the real world. If he continued like this, his mind would be devoured by the laws of time, with disastrous consequences.

Another half hour passed, and Chen Qingyuan found an opportunity. He mobilized all his profound power and slammed hard into the invisible barrier.

Boom!

The invisible barrier wrapped around Chen Qingyuan's body and soul was shattered at this moment.

Chen Qingyuan broke free from his restraints, his body shook violently, he opened his mouth and gasped.

Blood and cold sweat mixed together, soaking the clothes.

His brows were furrowed, his expression solemn, and his deep red eyes, thickly bloodshot, were quite frightening.

It is rare to see someone in such a miserable state.

It took several breaths for Chen Qingyuan to come back to his senses.

The wounds all over his body were still bleeding, and his chest was heaving violently. Although he had escaped that strange feeling, the pain still persisted and would not disappear in an instant.

"What were those noises just now?"

Chen Qingyuan was no longer calm, his expression was shocked, and there was a hint of doubt in the depths of his eyes.

"The Origin Mother Tree withered. They failed. What does this mean?"

Through the words of the emperors he had just heard, Chen Qingyuan captured a lot of key information.

"One world, one master; one leaf, one eternity."

Chen Qingyuan ignored his injuries for the time being and pondered these ancient words.

This sentence is easy to understand. It should mean that only one master can be born in a realm.

The so-called master is probably the immortal in the rumors.

Why did the original mother tree wither?

They failed? Who were they?

Many questions lingered in Chen Qingyuan's mind, closely connected and lingering.

After a while, Chen Qingyuan swallowed several top-grade precious pills he carried with him and refined them. The wound healed visibly and his complexion also improved significantly.

An Xieruo was still staring at the ancient monument, unaware that Chen Qingyuan had experienced a crisis.

"Xiruo shouldn't be able to sense the changes in her surroundings. She's not in danger."

Chen Qingyuan carefully observed An Xiruo for a few times to make sure that her condition was still the same as before, and then he felt relieved.

As long as he knew that An Xi was safe and sound, Chen Qingyuan would not disturb her for the time being.

She changed into a clean and neat purple dress and tidied her appearance.

Chen Qingyuan took a short breath to adjust his breathing, and there was no visible injury on his body.

The pain will gradually subside, so don't worry about it.

"What on earth is this ancient stele?"

Looking up at the nine hundred-foot-tall ancient monument, Chen Qingyuan felt a sense of awe.

Chen Qingyuan took the emperors' words to heart, gaining a lot of information from them. At the same time, he also had many questions.

"One leaf, one world. How vast is the real world?"

The rumored origin tree has countless leaves, which means that there are countless universes similar to Shenzhou.

When Chen Qingyuan stepped into the ancient Yuanchu Road, he saw the shadow of the Origin Mother Tree, and his consciousness even entered a brand new chaotic universe.

Later, through the narration of Emperor Taiwei, Chen Qingyuan learned that the trace of innate chaotic energy in the Chaos Treasure Medicine was transformed from the Origin Dao Leaf, confirming the existence of the Origin Mother Tree.

What is even more shocking is that the Origin Mother Tree is located in the afterlife world and was sealed off by Mu Cangyan in order to seek the way to immortality.

"Why did the mother tree wither? The fragments of the immortal bone from tens of millions of years ago transformed into the ancient forbidden area today. Is this related to this incident?"

"Perhaps Emperor Qiheng knew something, which is why he fell at the peak of his power."

"He didn't really die. Later, he used special means to walk in the mortal world, guiding Senior Zhixi and becoming a benefactor in her life."

"A few years ago, it was suspected that it was the will of the Qiheng Emperor, who, with the help of the body of the Sword God Li Jinzhou, entered the Zangheng restricted area and has not returned since."

"Perhaps, all these secrets are hidden in the Zangheng restricted area."

Chen Qingyuan sorted out his thoughts, and a complete historical context appeared before him.

If all this information is correct, after piecing it together, the inferred thread is very close to the truth.

"Is this item left by the Ancient Emperor, or is it... related to immortals?"

After thinking for a long time, Chen Qingyuan looked at the ancient monument again. His heart tightened, his eyes were burning, and he was full of yearning for the imperial realm and even higher levels.

Hey!

The next moment, Chen Qingyuan stepped into the sky.

Standing high above, overlooking the ancient monument.

There is nothing special about the top of the ancient monument. Apart from the traces of time, there is nothing else.

Without reaching the realm of imperial way, one cannot glimpse the historical shadows of the emperors pursuing the supreme way.

The reason why Chen Qingyuan was able to hear the words of the emperors just now was because he used the Secret Book of the Wheel of Destiny of All Things and accidentally touched the power of high-dimensional prohibition. It was an accident.

After many unsuccessful searches, Chen Qingyuan returned to his original position.

He watched An Xiruo maintain her elegant and dignified demeanor, patiently waiting without interfering. At the same time, he recalled some details and continued to ponder.

A few days later, An Xiruo woke up.

Consciousness is no longer bound by the ancient monument and returns to its original state.

An Xiruo was not hurt at all, but only saw some fragmented historical scenes. She could not piece together a complete story line, and it was very messy.

However, An Xiruo still gained a lot, touching upon the Dao traces of some ancient emperors, which helped her own practice.

"Brother, have you...changed your clothes?"

The first thing An Xiruo did when she woke up was to look at Chen Qingyuan standing beside her. She noticed something unusual at first glance, and a hint of suspicion crossed her face as she asked.

"Well, a little thing happened."

Chen Qingyuan looked at the beauty and spoke softly.

"what's up?"

An Xiruo was very perceptive and predicted that there would be twists and turns.

Out of concern for Chen Qingyuan, An Xiruo wanted to know more and asked further questions.

"Just now......"

Since An Xiruo asked, Chen Qingyuan certainly wouldn't hide anything. He explained everything that had happened to him, glossing over the injury briefly as nothing serious and nothing to worry about.

An Xiruo knew Chen Qingyuan's temperament well, and she knew he must have run into some serious trouble. Although she had a worried look on her face, she didn't ask any more questions. She stepped forward and held Chen Qingyuan's hand tightly, saying, "Just be safe!"

The two of them faced each other, holding hands and smiling. Some words don't need to be said, a glance is enough.

"We are getting closer and closer to that forbidden history."

Chen Qingyuan felt an invisible pressure falling on his shoulders, feeling a little heavy and looking solemn.

"Original Mother Tree, the Path to Immortality..."

An Xiruo lowered her brows and murmured, as if she was thinking about something.

"Is there something similar to this stone tablet in the deepest part of the ice field?"

Chen Qingyuan gazed into the deeper depths of the ice field. There was no end in sight, it was full of unknowns, and it made people feel uneasy.
