Fifth-Order Soul-Nourishing Wood

Having decided to forge the Stargazing Tower, Chen Nianzhi didn't delay and set off the next day to purchase Tier 5 spirit wood.

The information about the Tier 5 spirit wood was provided by Lingxu Fairy, and the other party was the Tianhuang Sect, a major Nascent Soul Heavenly Desolation Sect in the Wild Continent.

The Heavenly Desolation Sect was Sixth Nascent Soul Layer cultivator and had been an old acquaintance of Lingxu Fairy for many years. After learning that the Chen Clan wanted to purchase Tier 5 spirit wood, he also wanted to make the deal.

Wild Continent is not far from the Ji Continent; one only needs to cross the Heaven's Spine Mountains and then traverse Heavenly Hut Continent to reach it.

After crossing the Heaven's Spine Mountains, Chen Nianzhi and his wife arrived in the territory of the Heavenly Hut Continent and found that the cultivators of the Heavenly Hut Continent were in a state of panic, and the number of cultivators in the major Marketplace was much less than in previous years.

So they stopped a Foundation Establishment cultivator and casually asked, "What's going on in the Heavenly Hut Continent? It seems like there are more than half fewer cultivators."

"Senior, are you from outside the Heavenly Hut Continent?"

The Foundation Establishment cultivator was somewhat surprised and quickly said respectfully, "Not long ago, a member of the Flame Demon Race emerged from the Infernal Flame Sea, and it is said that there are several Flame Demon True Lord whose strength is no weaker than that of Nascent Soul Nascent Soul."

"Heavenly Hut Sect has issued Summons Order, deciding to mobilize the entire continent to resist the Flame Demon Race."

"I see."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, signaling the person to leave, and then said to Jiang Linglong, "Could that Flame Demon Race be related to the Scarlet Flame True Lord that you and I killed back then?"

"It's hard to say," Jiang Linglong shook her head, then added, "We'll have to see it in person to be sure."

Chen Nianzhi nodded upon hearing this. The Scarlet Flame True Lord was a primordial being. Although he could not compare to the Innate Divine Spirit in Myth, he was still an existence with extraordinary origins.

The Flame Demon, however, is Heavenly Demon born from demonic flames, making the two fundamentally different.

Although they are different, they are both born from flames and may have similarities.

"If it truly is Heavenly Demon, I fear the Heavenly Hut Sect may not be able to quell this calamity."

After pondering for a while, Chen Nianzhi sighed and said that it was not appropriate for him to interfere in this matter.

Wherever innate beings can be born, there are usually great treasures, whether they give birth to fire demons or Scarlet Flame Demon Spirit.

Since the other party has reached the level of True Lord, there is likely a priceless treasure hidden behind this, which would be invaluable even to True Lord.

Therefore, although the Flame Demon Race is a calamity, it may also be an extraordinary fortuitous opportunity. Since the Heavenly Hut Sect did not seek their help, it probably did not want to share this fortuitous opportunity with everyone.

With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi said, "Our most urgent task is to complete the Stargazing Tower as soon as possible."

"As for this Flame Demon Tribulation, if the Heavenly Hut Sect cannot quell it, they will naturally seek our help."

"Alright." Jiang Linglong nodded, then smiled and said, "Heavenly Hut Sect's Law Power was impure, and he failed to break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage last time. He is currently short of resources for one last gamble. If we interfere rashly, it will only make things worse."

After they finished speaking, the two urged the Azure Jade Phoenix Plume Boat to continue flying towards the Wild Continent, and soon they arrived at the territory of the Wild Continent.

As one of the Hundred Continents of the Three Vein Ancient Region, Wild Continent is a large continent, stretching for tens of millions of miles, with six Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein residing there.

These six Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein were divided among three Nascent Soul forces: the Lin Clan Ying Clan clans, Nascent Soul Immortal Clan, and the Tianhuang Heavenly Desolation Sect, the overlord of the Wild Continent.

Among the three major powers, the Lin Clan and Ying Clan together only have three True Lord, while the Heavenly Desolation Sect has a full eight Nascent Soul True Lord.

However, although the Heavenly Desolation Sect is powerful, it does not have a single Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, only a single Sixth Nascent Soul Layer cultivator.

The two ascended the Guest-Welcoming Peak and personally presented their visiting cards. Soon, three True Lord from the Heavenly Desolation Sect came to greet them.

The leader was naturally the Heavenly Desolation Sect. He laughed loudly from across the void, "I have long heard of the names of Returning Ruins True Lord and Sky Ruins Fairy. Today, I am truly fortunate to be able to see their true faces."

"You're too polite, fellow Daoist."

Chen Nianzhi returned the greeting with a cupped hand and said humbly.

After exchanging pleasantries, the group took their seats on the Guest-Welcoming Peak. The Heavenly Desolation Sect personally poured tea for the two of them before smiling and saying, "I heard from Fellow Daoist Lingxu that you wish to purchase a Tier 5 spirit tree."

"That's certainly true."

Chen Nianzhi nodded and said directly, "I am preparing to refine a spiritual Spirit Treasure, and I am still missing a Tier 5 spiritual wood."

The Heavenly Desolation Sect smiled, then said seriously, "My Heavenly Desolation Sect does indeed possess a spiritual tree, but its uses are wondrous and mysterious, and may not suit your taste."

"Oh?" Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked, "I wonder what's so special about it?"

"Fellow Daoist, please tell me who I am."

Without speaking directly, the Heavenly Desolation Sect led the two of them out of Wild Continent Mountain.

There are six Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein in the Wild Continent, and Heavenly Desolation Sect occupies four of them. The one we are going to now is Divine Wood Mountain, one of the four Spirit Vein.

After arriving at Divine Wood Mountain, the group went straight to the Tier 5 Wood Vein of Divine Wood Mountain. The moment they entered Divine Wood Mountain, Chen Nianzhi finally understood the origin of the name "Shenmu" (Divine Tree).

At the heart of the Wood Vein, several colossal trees stood tall, their canopies blocking out the sun. The tallest of these trees was a thousand feet high, making it a truly rare and divine tree.

"The Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root Soul-Nourishing Divine Wood."

Chen Nianzhi muttered to himself calmly, recognizing the origin of the divine tree. The Soul-Nourishing Divine Wood possessed the wondrous effect of nourishing the soul and body, making it a rare treasure of the soul.

It is said that if such Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root is of a grade as high as the Tier 6, then it may be of great use even to Primordial Spirit Dao Lord.

The plant before us is only Tier 5 Middle Grade, but it is clearly an extraordinary specimen.

Upon realizing this, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What you wish to sell, sir, is this Soul-Nourishing Divine Wood?"

"Hahaha."

That Heavenly Desolation Sect Huang smiled and said, "This Soul-Nourishing Divine Wood is Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root, its value far surpassing that of Tier 5 spiritual wood. How could I bear to sell it?"

"Too."

Chen Nianzhi shook his head and smiled. This Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root, the Soul-Nourishing Divine Wood, is of immeasurable value. Just breaking off a section of its branch can help a cultivator cultivate Second Primordial Embryo. How could ordinary Tier 5 spiritual wood compare to it?

Seeing this, the Heavenly Desolation Sect pointed to two slightly smaller Tier 5 spirit trees beside him and said, "These Soul-Nourishing Wood are planted from the branches of the Soul-Nourishing Divine Wood. Although they lack the miraculous power of the Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root, they still have the effect of nourishing the soul."

"Therefore, its value is higher than that of ordinary Tier 5 spirit wood. I wonder if you are willing to pay this price."

At this point, the Heavenly Desolation Sect awaited Chen Nianzhi's reply.

Although this Soul-Nourishing Wood is miraculous, its effect on nourishing the soul may not be useful for Chen Nianzhi. If Chen Nianzhi is unwilling to accept the increased price, he may have to miss out on this deal.
