Galuo Ancient Tree

Liya's message made Bai Pu and Dongbo Cheng Zhi exchange a glance. Each saw the meaning in the other's eyes.

Dongbo Cheng Zhi raised an eyebrow. "You called it. What do we do now?"

Bai Pu narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, As expected of a Golden Side Quest...

It seemed the difficulty of this Golden Side Quest did not lie in the two demon guardians of the Root Palace...

But in the Cyan Emperor Barrier before them!

"Dongbo, Liya's feedback shows that the Cyan Emperor Barrier is likely not an isolated barrier. Rather, barrier nodes have been set up at many key locations in the Forest of Corruption, such as the Root Palace and the Miasma Spring, forming a vast barrier network that covers the entire Forest of Corruption!"

Bai Pu calmly laid out his deduction.

Dongbo Cheng Zhi secretly admired him. Bai Pu was under the spiritual pressure of the Azure Emperor Phantom, yet he had calmed down so quickly. As expected of his best friend, the man who had once slain a Demon Emperor.

The Azure Emperor Phantom sneered. "You guessed right. So what? Let me tell you... the source of power for this enormous barrier covering the Forest of Corruption is the roots of the Galuo Ancient Tree!"

"The Galuo Ancient Tree?"

Dongbo Cheng Zhi's expression changed drastically.

"What kind of tree is that?" Bai Pu did not know.

Dongbo Cheng Zhi said, "The Galuo Ancient Tree is the legendary root of all trees... It is said that the countless trees of the Eastern Wilderness Forest Sea all sprouted from the roots of the Galuo Ancient Tree."

After hesitating, Dongbo Cheng Zhi shook his head. "No, I don't believe it... That is merely an ancient legend from a thousand years ago..."

The Azure Emperor sneered.
