Magic Treasure Tree
"Junior Brother E is here too, what a coincidence."
One of the people who came in greeted Yue Zutao and then greeted E Yun.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Zhou."
Although he had never met him, Chen Mobai already had a guess in his mind who this handsome young man with a swallow's jaw, tiger's beard, broad shoulders, and thick waist was.
"Junior Brother Chen, although this is our first meeting, I have long admired you."
Zhou Wangshen smiled and greeted Chen Mobai at the end. The latter pretended not to know him, but after E Yun's introduction, he suddenly realized and stood up to respond.
"This is Wu Zeyang. He's not in the Twelve Departments, but he's had good luck this year and successfully Foundation Establishment."
The young man who followed Zhou Wangshen in greeted the three people present with a respectful expression.
"Senior Brother Yue, Senior Brother E, Senior Brother Chen...
Finally, when facing Chen Mobai, he hesitated for a moment. After all, he was True Disciple of the same generation as Zhou Wangshen E Yun. But thinking of the rules of the Sky River Realm, that those who are accomplished first, he finally addressed him as senior brother.
"You two junior brothers are too kind. Please have a seat."
As the host, Yue Zutao brought out two more chairs, and the five of them sat in his courtyard, which was filled with clutter, and began to talk in a harmonious atmosphere.
Zhou Wangshen brought Wu Zeyang here for the same reason: to have Yue Zutao, who had been through it all, persuade those who wanted to choose the Longevity Tree Fruit.
"Junior Brother Chen, if you can obtain the Longevity Tree Sap after entering the Divine Tree Secret Realm, I am willing to exchange it for a thousand Spirit Stone for every drop."
As they were leaving, Chen Mobai was still wondering why Zhou Wangshen would say those words, while E Yun looked surprised and muttered to himself.
"It seems he's cultivating the ' Longevity Dao Body '!"
What is the Longevity Dao Body?
E Yun led Chen Mobai to his courtyard, where Yuan Chiye was already waiting.
After the three of them sat down, he began to talk about the "Longevity Dao Body".
"Our Divine Wood Sect's Longevity Sutra actually evolved from an ancient great sect's magic technique called the ' Longevity Technique,' a supreme and wondrous technique that even the True Monarch Yi Yuan had to cultivate for a hundred years to master."
"Once this Longevity Technique is mastered, not only can one maintain eternal youth, but it can also increase one-third of one's lifespan at the current cultivation level. The higher the cultivation level, the longer the lifespan will be increased."
"But the most mysterious thing about the Longevity Technique is that once it is mastered, even if your head is cut off and your heart is shattered, as long as you still have a breath of life, you will not die. It is said that at the highest level, you can even Blood Drop Rebirth and become immortal."
After hearing this, Chen Mobai and Yuan Chiye looked at each other in bewilderment; they really didn't know this secret.
"But what does this have to do with the Longevity Dao Body?"
Upon hearing this, E Yun picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then sighed softly.
"We, the descendants, do not possess the extraordinary talent of the True Monarch Yi Yuan and are unable to master the ' Longevity Technique,' so the sages of the past broke it down into the ' Longevity Sutra ' and the ' Longevity Dao Body.'"
"The former Qi Refining, while the latter strengthens the body. Once both are cultivated to their highest level, they can attempt to merge them and recreate the ' Longevity Technique '."
"However, this is just speculation. After all, no one in my Divine Wood Sect has even cultivated the ' Longevity Sutra ' to the highest level, let alone the even more difficult ' Longevity Dao Body '."
Chen Mobai knew that the Longevity Sutra had twenty levels, and the highest achiever in the Divine Wood Sect, Old Ancestor Zhou, was only at the seventeenth level.
"Does the Longevity Dao Body also have twenty layers?"
E Yun shook his head and held up three fingers.
"The Longevity Dao Body has only three realms: Ageless, Immortality, and Longevity, which correspond to Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul, respectively."
This is indeed simple, clear, and easy to understand. However, Chen Mobai suspects that the sage who broke down the Longevity Technique may have had a deeper understanding of Qi Refining, but perhaps not enough understanding of body tempering, so he just made this hasty division.
"The Longevity Tree Sap is the best spiritual substance to Auxiliary Cultivation of the Longevity Dao Body. Wu Zeyang's successful Foundation Establishment this time was probably due to Zhou Wangshen's support, which was likely to allow him to enter the Divine Tree Secret Realm and obtain the Longevity Tree Sap."
After listening to E Yun's words, Chen Mobai finally understood.
However, he shook his head. Although he liked Spirit Stone very much, he couldn't let such an opportunity as the Divine Tree Secret Realm benefit others.
"In the Divine Tree Secret Realm, almost everyone can obtain a spiritual item under the Magic Treasure Tree. As for the Talent Tree and the Great Dao Tree, it depends on individual opportunities. Although everyone who goes in is a sect disciple, if you happen to meet someone, please look out for each other."
E Yun concluded by sharing his experience, and Chen Mobai and Yuan Chiye both nodded, indicating that if they encountered anything inside, they would stand together through thick and thin.
Time flies.
Before we knew it, the time for the Divine Tree Secret Realm to open had arrived.
That day, Chen Mobai bid farewell to E Yun and Zhuo Ming, and together with Yuan Chiye, they arrived at the Divine Wood Hall to wait.
Wu Zeyang arrived early as well.
There is another newly promoted Foundation Establishment, a true disciple of the previous Alchemy Department, named Yan Jinye, a junior sister who seems a bit carefree.
She seemed to have a good relationship with Wu Zeyang; after arriving at the Divine Wood Hall, the two stood together and talked.
"Perhaps Senior Brother Zhou also contacted her."
Yuan Chiye made a guess, after all, as Alchemy, Yan Jinye was more likely to obtain the Longevity Tree Sap.
"Now that everyone's here, come with me."
After waiting for a while, the sect leader Meng Hong appeared with Lu Yi, the Minister of the Transmission Department. Without saying a word, he led the way and flew towards the back of the Divine Wood Hall, towards the three Divine Tree that reached straight into the clouds.
Chen Mobai and the other three immediately followed.
The group of six, like six streaks of azure light, rose from the ground and, after leaping over the Divine Wood Hall, quickly arrived at the very center of Giant Wood Ridge, where the three Longevity Wood stood.
Meng Hong led them to one of the Divine Tree, which was so large that it would take ten people to encircle it, and they landed slowly.
Chen Mobai and the other three immediately stopped and landed at the same time.
"After the Divine Tree Secret Realm opens, you will see three Heavenly Divine Wood inside. Each Divine Wood holds different opportunities, and what you obtain depends entirely on yourselves."
After Meng Hong finished speaking, he handed a Wooden Sword to Lu Yi, who was standing next to him.
The latter bowed deeply, his face solemn, and accepted the gift with both hands.
"Next, I will open the portal to the secret realm. Enter as soon as possible and don't waste time. After it's over, you will appear here. We two old men will not wait for you. Come to the Divine Wood Hall to find me then."
After saying this, Lu Yi sat upright on the ground, his hands loosely clenched, holding the Wooden Sword to his chest, chanting incantations, and activating a spell to release the seal.
A jet-black light burst forth from the Wooden Sword and landed in a certain void between the Three Divine Trees.
A tearing sound, like cloth being ripped, rang out, and a vertical crack about two meters wide appeared in the void.
"Go!"
At this moment, Lu Yi had already filled the Wooden Sword in his hand with spiritual power. He seemed to be struggling, and sweat was seeping from his forehead. He flung the Wooden Sword out of his palm, and it pierced into the void rift.
Then the Wooden Sword got stuck in the gap, and with a twist and turn, the vertical gap seemed to be torn open by two hands, creating a doorway just big enough for a person to pass through.
"Hurry up and go inside, this door won't be open for long."
Meng Hong urged them on immediately, Yuan Chiye and the other two did not hesitate at all. They transformed into azure light and rushed towards the void portal, almost meeting each other in mid-air.
Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, then rushed in after Yan Jinye.
Huff! Huff! After all four of them had gone inside, Lu Yi immediately sheathed his Wooden Sword, sat down on the ground, and breathed heavily.
"Every time I open the door, my spiritual power is exhausted. It's a good thing that I only open it once every few years, otherwise, whoever wants to be the Minister of the Transmission Department can be anyone."
Lu Yi tossed the Wooden Sword in his hand to Meng Hong in a bad mood. The Key to this secret realm was to be kept by the Sect Leader leader, but the task of opening the door was assigned to the Transmission Department.
"Let's go, I caught a Black Loach. You've worked hard today, so I'll treat you to a good meal."
After Meng Hong sheathed the Wooden Sword, he smiled and helped Lu Yi up from the ground. The two old men left the Three Divine Trees chatting and laughing.
"I wonder what kind of opportunities those four will get inside."
"The other three should be able to get a magic weapon or spiritual item, but Chen Guixian might be able to get an extra cultivation technique."
With the Divine Tree Secret Realm opening so many times, the Divine Wood Sect has basically figured out the patterns of the Three Great Divine Trees.
The Magic Treasure Tree provides a safety net, while the Talent Tree depends on aptitude.
The Great Dao Tree is extremely mysterious. Because very few people have benefited from it, or most of them keep it a secret, no pattern has been found yet.
After passing through the void portal, Chen Mobai felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, followed by a sky full of blue light.
He opened his eyes and found himself in mid-air, plummeting straight towards the ground.
He immediately channeled his spiritual power and used Flight Art to stop himself in mid-air.
He then floated in the air for a while, looking around in all directions.
They discovered that this place was yet another endless forest.
Towering trees stand lush and green amidst the clouds and mist, a verdant expanse as far as the eye can see.
Chen Mobai landed on the ground and gently stepped on it, discovering that the soil was covered with a thick layer of dead leaves.
He landed in front of one of the large trees and discovered that it was the Crimson Sun Spirit Tree.
Could he still be at Giant Wood Ridge? With this question in mind, Chen Mobai activated his Flight Art and landed on the canopy of the tallest tree nearby. Finally, he saw something different.
In the far reaches of the unknown, there are three enormous Divine Tree that reach the heavens. Unlike the Three Divine Trees that gather in the center on Giant Wood Ridge, the Three Divine Trees here are separate and far away on the horizon.
Chen Mobai estimated the distance and found that the Divine Tree in the east seemed closer, so he flew towards it first.
As he flew, he suddenly remembered something.
How do I get out of this Divine Tree Secret Realm?
Could it be like E Yun, who fell into a coma and woke up to find himself in Giant Wood Ridge?
The Divine Tree seemed not far away, but it took Chen Mobai three days and three nights of flying before he finally saw its true Divine Tree.
Its Bark is entirely gray, and it stands majestically with its trunk reaching straight into the sky, seemingly reaching the heavens.
"Senior Brother Chen, what a coincidence!"
Just as Chen Mobai landed, Yan Jinye flew over. She greeted him, then circled the Divine Tree, found a cracked piece of Bark, took out a medicinal hoe, and started working on it.
"Junior sister, do you want to collect tree sap?"
Chen Mobai asked a question.
"Indeed, it seems that Senior Brother Zhou has also consulted Senior Brother Chen."
Yan Jinye answered while working, but immediately shook her head and gave up.
Her medicinal hoe couldn't even break through the Divine Tree's spiritual light; she couldn't even peel off a piece of Bark, let alone sap.
"It seems this deal can't be done. Senior Brother Chen, I'll go up first."
After speaking, Yan Jinye greeted Chen Mobai, then reached out her right hand and touched the Divine Tree, infusing it with spiritual power.
A flash of silver light, and she suddenly vanished from her spot.
Chen Mobai immediately went to the place where she disappeared, feeling that there were signs of Teleportation Array just now.
He circled the Divine Tree twice more, but finding no other way, he stretched out his right hand, touched the Bark, and infused it with spiritual power as instructed in the book.
A familiar sensation washed over him, and he opened his eyes again, only to feel a howling wind and the surrounding air suddenly becoming thin.
Looking down, I found myself standing on a tree branch, seemingly within the canopy of the Divine Tree.
At the very end of the branch he was standing on, hung a bright green fruit the size of a fist.
Chen Mobai turned his head and looked around again, and found that not only his own branch, but most of the branches had a fruit of a different color at their tips.
Based on past experience, this fruit holds my opportunity.
Upon closer inspection, he indeed spotted Yan Jinye, who had climbed up ahead of him, on a branch in the distance. She had already reached her yellow fruit and was happily picking it.
"Senior brother, I'll go down first."
After receiving her harvest, Yan Jinye said something to Chen Mobai from a distance, and then reached out again to inject spiritual energy into the tree branch beneath her feet.
With a flash of silver light, she vanished from the Magic Treasure Tree.
Chen Mobai tried to use his Flight Art, but found that he could not leave the tree branch beneath his feet, as if there was a force that prohibited flying.
In other words, he can only take his own fruit.
But Chen Mobai was still unwilling to give up. He took out Glass Beads used to train spiritual power from his storage bag, wanting to use it to pick fruit from the tree branch next door.
However, as soon as the Glass Beads left his palm, the little thing and the spiritual energy infused within it lost contact with him and plummeted from the height of ten thousand meters.
Chen Mobai finally gave up.
He shook his head, picked his own emerald green fruit, and then followed Yan Jinye's example and left the canopy of the Magic Treasure Tree.
When she opened her eyes again, she was already standing in the same spot as before, her hand still touching the Bark of the Magic Treasure Tree.
Chen Mobai tried to infuse his spiritual power again, but unfortunately it seemed that his spiritual power had already left a record in this Magic Treasure Tree, and it did not transport him back to the treetop.
With a sigh, Chen Mobai was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.
In addition to the Longevity Spiritual Power, his dantian also contained Pure Yang Spiritual Power.
I immediately turned around and tried it.
With a flash of silver light, Chen Mobai returned to the canopy of the Magic Treasure Tree.
He looked at the Purple Fruit in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Most of the true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect have cultivated the Two Aspects Technique, possessing two kinds of spiritual power.
He probably wasn't the first to discover this bug, was he?
