[Fantasy: I, the first Heavenly Dao Tree]

Great Qin Empire, Sun City, Chu Clan Dungeon.

"Am I going to die?"

In the depths of the dungeon, Chu Li muttered to himself as his hands were chained.

He was originally the Chu Family's heir, a young genius. He stepped into cultivation at the age of five, gathered Qi and tempered his body to perfection at the age of ten, and opened up the Dantian Spirit Sea at the age of sixteen, becoming the youngest Sea Transformation Realm cultivator in Sun City's history.

Half a month ago, the largest beast tide in the history of Yang City had broken out. The people of the city had suffered heavy casualties. Even his father, Chu Tianba, had been bedridden because he had been seriously injured by a great demon while trying to save him.

In order to make up for his mistake, he took on the task of taking care of his father.

However, he did not expect that his father, who was gradually getting better, would suddenly die from poisoning.

What was even more tragic was that his second uncle, Chu Tianwu, had identified him as his father's murderer. His second uncle did not even investigate and directly locked him up in prison for torture. He even crippled his dantian.

"Brother Chu!"

At this moment, a girl in red appeared outside the cell door.

"Yao 'er?"

Chu Li, who was still in a daze, slowly raised his head. Although he could not see the girl's face clearly, he knew that the person who had come was definitely Ye Yao.

Ye Yao was a pitiful person. Not only was her family destroyed by the demonic beasts, but even her parents died in the great beast tide.

When he first met Ye Yao, she was already unconscious on the ground and on the verge of death. In the end, in order to save her, he brought her back to the Chu family.

"Didn't I tell you to leave the Chu Manor?" he asked with difficulty.

"No, Brother Chu, let's go together."

Ye Yao approached the cell door and pulled out the dagger from her waist.

Clang!

Unfortunately, the prison door was made of steel, so it was not something she could break open.

"Don't worry about me. Leave this place quickly, or you'll die."

Chu Li was getting anxious.

He was touched that Ye Yao had come to save him, but Ye Yao wasn't a cultivator. Even if she could break open the prison door, she couldn't bring him out.

" No, I'm not leaving. I must save you."

Ye Yao didn't stop. She slashed at the iron lock even harder.

"I was wondering why I couldn't find her anywhere. So she ran here!"

At this moment, a youth suddenly walked down from the top of the stairs. Because he was wearing a black robe and his tone was cold, it was as if he was not a human but a demon.

"I'm sorry, Brother Chu. I'm useless. I can't save you."

Hearing the voice, Ye Yao knew who it was.

Pa!

Just as she turned around, the man slapped her face.

"Yao…"

Chu Li's eyes widened. The iron chain on his hand kept making a buzzing sound. He scolded," Chu Yang, if you're a man, come at me."

Wuuuu.

Ye Yao cried bitterly.

"Hehe, my good cousin, aren't I here for you?"

Chu Yang looked at Chu Li and smiled. Then, he raised his hand and pinched Ye Yao's neck." Say, if I were to pinch her to death here, would you be sad?" Will he die of anger?"

Chu Yang, you bastard."

Chu Li was in a state of panic. The chain on his wrist was swung by him continuously.

"I'm a bastard?"

Chu Yang's face was gloomy." You still don't know your own situation. If you don't tell me, there will only be one more corpse here."

Chu Yang, let her go. I'll tell you where the secret key is."

Chu Li's eyes were filled with hatred as he stared at the red-robed girl in Chu Yang's hands. He decided to tell her the secret key to the ancestral mansion, which symbolized his authority.

The secret key to the ancestral mansion was not only a key, but also an inheritance of the family.

It could be said that if one wanted to be the head of the family, one had to have the secret key to the ancestral house.

At that time, his father was seriously injured, so he asked him to hide the secret key of the ancestral house.

Now that Chu Yang was pressing him step by step, he had no choice but to hand over the secret key.

"No wonder I couldn't find it. It turns out that you hid it in the ancestral hall!"

After hearing Chu Li's words, Chu Yang relaxed his grip and said," Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Ye. Please forgive me if I offended you just now."

"Miss…?"

Chu Li was shocked. Why did Chu Yang address Yao 'er as Miss?

Ye Yao rubbed her neck and looked at the dying young man. A smile appeared on her face. The gentleness from before was gone. She smiled." Don't forget your promise to me."

Puff.

When Chu Li heard this, he felt a tightness in his chest. Blood gushed out of his mouth uncontrollably. He struggled to lift his head and looked at the girl who had become a completely different person.

"Haha…yes, I've been acting since the beginning."

" Brother Chu," Ye Yao said with a smile," am I very good at acting?"

"Why…?"

Chu Li gradually regained his composure. Although he did not know why Ye Yao would do this, he felt that this matter was not that simple.

" It's for a treasure, and this treasure happens to be in your Chu Clan's ancestral home."

Ye Yao paused for a moment." Initially, I wanted to snatch the treasure directly. However, I was afraid that other forces would find out, so I secretly went to look for Chu Tianwu."

" Chu Tianwu agreed to my plan in order to become the family head."

" We first triggered the Beast Tide, then took the opportunity to seriously injure your father. After that, we wanted to get rid of you, but we didn't expect you to hide the Secret Key. We had no choice but to send you to prison."

Chu Li's eyes were red with anger. The chains on his hands were making a continuous beeping sound. It turned out that Ye Yao was the culprit who killed his father.

He hated the fact that he still foolishly handed over the ancestral mansion's secret key for the other party.

"Evil woman, I should have stabbed you to death back then," he cursed angrily.

Ye Yao smiled and didn't say anything else. She started walking up the stairs.

"Miss Ye, should we get rid of him?"

Chu Yang asked.

"Forget it. He treats me well. Let him spend the rest of his life in prison."

Chu Yang gritted his teeth and followed behind him like a dog.

Weng!

After the two of them left, the transparent crystal hanging around Chu Li's neck suddenly shone.

"This is…?"

Chu Li, who was on the verge of death, opened his eyes again with great difficulty.

This crystal was a gift from his mother when he was five years old. She said that she had obtained it by accident and wanted him to take good care of it.

It was also after that day that his mother never appeared again.

Weng!

The glowing bead suddenly broke free from its restraints and flew into his dantian's spirit sea. After entering the spirit sea, the crystal began to take root and germinate. In the end, it grew into a transparent small tree.

"This…?"

Chu Li was shocked.

Wasn't his dantian shattered? Why could jingshi still enter?

He quickly checked.

Not long after, he discovered that his shattered dantian had already recovered.

Of course, compared to before, his spirit sea was now dry, like a desert without water. Not only was it boundless, but there was also a transparent small tree growing in the center.

The small tree was as thick as an arm and three meters tall. Not only were its branches and leaves lush, but it also had twelve fruits of the same size but different colors.

Weng!

It was also at this moment that a new message appeared in Chu Li's mind.

Through this information, he knew that the transparent small tree was called the Heavenly Dao Tree. It was the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, and the fruit it bore was called the Law Fruit.

The Law Fruit had 12 colors, which corresponded to the power of the 12 Laws of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Ice, Light, and Dark.

The Law Fruit could be given to others.

After others consumed it, they would have the corresponding power of laws.

As the carrier of the Heavenly Dao Tree, he would also obtain the same power.

For example, if someone else ate the fruit of fire, he would also obtain the power of fire.

Moreover, every time the person who ate it broke through, he would also receive 10% of the feedback.

If it was just one person, 10% was indeed nothing, but if it was tens of millions of people, 10% would be terrifying.
