"Forget it. I should be content."
Chen Yu shook his head and finally chose to stop.
One had to know when to be content.
Being able to reach this place where the divine fruits grew, collect five divine fruits, and obtain so much Divine Spring water was already an extraordinary opportunity. He could not insist on getting more.
Though he thought this, his hands did not stop. He took a great gulp of Divine Spring water, only stopping when he could drink no more.
As the Divine Spring water entered his mouth, the sensation was exceedingly wondrous, as though something had burst open, leaving him feeling incomparably comfortable.
After drinking the Divine Spring water, Chen Yu felt even the vitality within his body become more active.
Of course, the most crucial part was still his Sea of Bitterness.
Because his Sea of Bitterness had transformed after receiving the Void Emperor's blood, the divine power within his body had always been somewhat insufficient, and his Bitter Sea had felt inherently deficient. Yet now, it instantly expanded considerably. Nourished by the divine power within the Divine Spring water, its previous deficit was replenished in an instant.
Compared to before, the divine power within his body had now more than doubled.
Not only that, even his physique had noticeably improved.
This should have been due to eating the divine fruits.
In the original course of events, after eating the divine fruits, even Ye Fan and Pang Bo, who had yet to set foot on the path of cultivation, had gained divine strength in a single leap. Now the same held true for Chen Yu.
He felt better than ever before.
So he smiled, slowly stepped forward, and touched each of the trees that bore divine fruits.
[Check-in successful. Obtained one block of great Luo essence gold.]
"Not bad."
A smile appeared on Chen Yu's face.
Although great Luo essence gold could not compare to those divine irons and immortal golds, it was still a divine material, more than sufficient for sages to forge artifacts with.
For Chen Yu to obtain a block now, his luck was naturally quite good.
As expected of an offshoot formed after the Nine Marvels Immortal Medicine split apart, the check-in reward was indeed good.
"I just wonder whether I can check in at the other divine herbs."
As he gazed at the divine herb offshoot before him, this thought involuntarily flashed through Chen Yu's mind.
He was somewhat tempted to try, but in the end, he sensibly gave up.
After all, this was the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, one of the most dangerous places on Big Dipper.
They were currently within the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. The reason its dangers had not manifested might have been that the mighty power of the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin still lingered, sheltering them. It was also possible that Ruthless had briefly awakened and was observing Ye Fan, thus deliberately restraining her power.
But once this period passed, the terror of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land would emerge.
When that happened, with Chen Yu's puny frame, he would probably die a violent death on the spot.
He had best forget about setting his sights on the others, but he could not pass up the divine trees right before him.
Once Ye Fan and Pang Bo had left, he immediately began sweeping through the place.
The divine fruits on the small trees had already been picked, but that did not mean the trees had lost their value.
One had to remember that these were offshoots split from an Immortal Medicine, parts of a genuine Immortal Medicine.
Even if they were not its fruits, merely some of its branches and leaves were extraordinary things as well.
Chen Yu kept picking from the small trees, stripping off quite a few branches and leaves.
Of course, he did not dare go too far. He merely gave their branches and leaves a moderate pruning.
Having done this, he did not stop, but continued searching the surrounding area.
According to his memories, it would take some time for Ye Fan and the others to leave the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. Only when they were about to leave would its strange power recover.
Thus, this period was a rare window in which he could search all along the way.
There were quite a few good things within the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.
Medicine kings and divine herbs that were rare in the outside world might not have been everywhere within the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, but they were not hard to find either.
With the Divine Spring as his starting point, Chen Yu explored outward, finding quite a few good things.
Leaving aside the aged spiritual herbs, he found several medicine kings that were a hundred thousand years old.
Only when he reckoned that it was about time did he stop and head back to where he had been before.
When he returned, the place was already deserted, with only a solitary stone stele remaining.
Ye Fan and the others had already left. From the looks of it, they should have headed toward the outskirts.
Not far away, Chen Yu also sensed the presences of Liu Yunzhi and his companions.
They had been dumped at a tiger's den and were now screaming miserably.
From the looks of it, the events of the original course were playing out once again.
"Of all the things you could do, you just had to target someone like this."
Hearing their cries for help, Chen Yu shook his head, with no intention of paying them any attention.
Even before this, he had found their attitude somewhat baffling.
They had clearly all come from the same place. What hatred or grudge did these people have that they insisted on targeting Ye Fan like this, even trying to kill him several times?
They were clearly all modern people.
Now that Ye Fan had dealt with this bunch in return, it did make things quieter.
Chen Yu had no intention of meddling. He merely walked aside and touched the stone stele of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.
"I nearly forgot about you."
He reached out, placed one hand on the stone stele, and chose to check in.
[Obtained one wisp of Divine Body Source.] [Divine Body Source: fifty percent of the source of an Eastern Wasteland Divine Body. Using it can transform one's constitution toward an Eastern Wasteland Divine Body.]
Eastern Wasteland Divine Body?
Wasn't that Ji Haoyue's constitution?
A slightly odd look appeared on Chen Yu's face, but he quickly reacted.
This was good stuff.
Speaking of constitution sources, he had previously obtained a portion of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body's source as well.
In terms of tier alone, the Eastern Wasteland Divine Body undoubtedly could not compare to the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body.
The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body could serve one all the way to the pinnacle. At full mastery, it could rival alternative Dao attainment, making it a truly first-rate constitution.
As for the Eastern Wasteland Divine Body, if it was merely the ordinary version, it would become completely useless after reaching the Saint realm. At most, it could reign supreme within the King realm.
Under normal circumstances, this so-called Eastern Wasteland Divine Body could not even touch the Sacred Body's shadow.
But then again, every patch had its god.
In the current patch, the Eastern Wasteland Divine Body was the most dominant.
One could say that the Sacred Body excelled in the late game, but Big Dipper was currently in a period of suppression by heaven and earth. Ordinary people had no way to become Saints at all.
And below the Saint realm was precisely where the Divine Body was most dominant.
Most importantly, after the great change in heaven and earth, the Sacred Body had suffered a curse, but the Divine Body had not.
For Big Dipper at this moment, this truly was the Divine Body's patch.
"I'll take it!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Yu directly used this wisp of source.
In an instant, a golden light emerged and merged with Chen Yu's body.
Then his body began to change violently, undergoing an extremely powerful transformation.
The first thing to change was his Bitter Sea.
After he gained part of the Divine Body's constitution, a faint trace of silver appeared in his Bitter Sea. It seemed filled with a unique divinity, having gained a certain characteristic.
