The Immortal Spirit Tree had not yet fully matured, but it had already borne more than a dozen plump fruits.
Mu Chen put away the Immortal Spirit Tree, intending to leave it for Mu Spirit Academy.
He left four fruits behind and didn't take any for himself. After all, they wouldn't do him much good.
The team members who each received an Immortal Spirit Fruit beamed with delight. The spiritual energy contained within was so pure that they were sure they could soon attempt the Spiritual Power Tribulation.
Mu Chen toyed with an ancient, jade-green leaf in his hand, lost in thought.
He had discovered the nameless treasure inside the tree when he collected the Immortal Spirit Tree. Its surface was covered in obscure patterns, and it emanated an ancient aura. "Let's go. We're heading to the main hall."
The towering, dark-green hall was vast and magnificent.
Huge pillars, so thick that several people linking arms couldn't encircle them, rose like Heaven-Supporting Pillars. Dense vines crawled over them, helping support the ancient palace.
Dozens of teams had gathered there, their eyes burning with excitement.
At the far end of their gaze stood a particularly striking statue, several hundred zhang tall and emerald green.
Compared with the Wood Spirit Puppet Zhen Qing had summoned, this statue was far larger and more ancient.
An immense frame was clad in dark-green armor covered in ancient patterns.
In its left hand, it held aloft a green wooden stele inscribed with intricate runes.
In its right, it gripped a massive green wooden spear, its tip planted on the ground.
"That's a Wood God Guard, a battle puppet made by an ancient sect to protect its Spirit Treasury."
"Even the weakest Wood God Guard has terrifying strength comparable to someone facing the Spirit Soul Tribulation."
