After a while, the sect leader, Meng Hong, came with Lu Yi, the Minister of the Transmission Department. Without wasting any time, he led the way towards the back of the Shenmu Hall, towards the three divine trees that soared into the sky.
Chen Mobai and the others followed immediately.
Like six rays of green light, the group rose from the ground and quickly arrived at the very center of Giant Tree Ridge, right at the three Everlife Trees, after flying over Shenmu Hall.
Meng Hong led them to one of the divine trees that would take ten men to wrap their arms around. He landed gently in front of it.
Chen Mobai and the rest stopped as well, landing at the same time.
“After the Divine Tree Secret Realm is opened, you will see three Heaven-reaching Divine Trees. Each tree offers different opportunities. What you can gain depends on yourselves,” Meng Hong said and handed a wooden sword to Lu Yi next to him.
The latter bowed, received it with both hands, looking very serious.
“Next, I will open the portal to the secret realm. Enter as soon as possible and don’t waste time. Once it ends, you will appear here. The two of us old men won’t wait for you. At that time, come find me at Shenmu Hall,” Lu Yi said. After finishing talking, he sat on the ground, held the wooden sword to his chest, muttered a spell, and initiated a ban-breaking technique.
A pitch-black light burst from the wooden sword and landed in the empty space between the three divine trees.
Zila! Zila!
Like the sound of a tearing cloth, a vertical crack about two meters long appeared in the void.
“Go!”
By this time, Lu Yi had already filled the wooden sword in his hand with spiritual power. He seemed to be struggling, sweat broke out on his forehead. He flung the sword in his palm, and it went straight into the void.
Then the wooden sword jammed into the crack. With a twist and a turn, a door just large enough for a person to pass through opened in the crack.
“Quickly, the door won’t be open for long.”
Meng Hong urged immediately. With no hesitation, Yuan Chiye and the others turned into green light and shot towards the void. They almost collided in mid-air.
Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment before following Yan Jinye into the portal. Whoosh! Whoosh!
Once all four had entered, Lu Yi immediately withdrew the wooden sword and sat on the ground, gasping for air.
“Opening the door once exhausts my spiritual power. Luckily, it only opens once every few years. Otherwise, whoever likes to be the Minister of the Transmission Department can have it.”
Lu Yi grumpily threw the wooden sword to Meng Hong. The key to the secret realm was kept by the sect leader, but the task of opening the door was assigned to the Transmission Department.
Let’s go, I caught a black mud loach. You’ve worked hard today, let’s treat you well.”
After Meng Hong took back the wooden sword, he smiled, pulled Lu Yi, the two old men left the three divine trees laughing and talking.
“I wonder what opportunities they can find inside.”
The other three getting a magic treasure or spiritual object would be just about right. But that Chen Guixian, maybe he could get an extra cultivation technique.”
With so many openings of the Divine Tree Secret Realm, everyone in the Divine Wood Sect had a clear understanding of the three Divine Tree’s patterns.
The Magic Treasure Tree is the baseline, the Talent Tree is up to one’s aptitude.
The Dao Tree is mysterious and difficult. As there were too few who had gained anything under this tree, or most kept their gains secret, no pattern had been discovered yet.
After Chen Mobai crossed the portal, he only felt a moment of darkness before a sky full of green light engulfed him.
As he opened his eyes, he found himself suspended in mid-air, hurtling straight towards the ground.
With a swift invocation of spiritual power to perform the flying technique, he stopped his fall.
Then he floated in the air, scanning in all directions.
To his surprise, it was another endless forest.
Lofty trees flourished in the mist, a sea of green as far as the eye could see. Chen Mobai landed on the ground, took a soft step, and found the soil here covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves.
He landed in front of a large tree, and found it to be a Red-sun Spirit Tree.
Could he still be in Giant Tree Ridge?
With this doubt in mind, Chen Mobai flew to the highest tree nearby. From its crown, he finally saw what was different.
In the far distance, there were three divine trees reaching into the sky. Compared to the three divine trees grouped together in the center in Giant Tree Ridge, each tree here stood alone, far in the distance.
Chen Mobai estimated the distance and found the divine tree to the east seemed closer. So he flew towards it first.
As he was flying, he suddenly remembered something.
How does one leave the Divine Tree Secret Realm?
Would it be the same as with E Yun? You faint and when you wake up, you find yourself in the Giant Tree Ridge?
The Divine Tree seemed not too far from him, but Chen Mobai had been flying for three full days and nights before he could finally see the true face of the Divine Tree.
The bark was a dark grey, the tree’s aura was imposing, and the trunk reached straight into the clouds. Looking up at it, you couldn’t see the top, as if it truly reached into the heavenly palace.
Chen Brother, what a coincidence.”
Just as Chen Mobai landed, Yan Jinye also flew over. She greeted him, then circled the Divine Tree, eyeing a crack in the bark. She took out a medicine hoe and started digging in.
“Junior Sister, are you trying to collect the tree juice?”
Chen Mobai asked.
Yes, it seems Brother Zhou has already talked to Brother Chen.”
Yan Jinye was working as she replied, but immediately shook her head and gave up.
Her medicine hoe could not break the spiritual light of the Divine Tree’s body. Not to mention extracting tree juice, she couldn’t even scrape off a piece of the bark.
“It seems this trade won’t work out. Brother Chen, I’ll go up first.”
After saying that, Yan Jinye waved at Chen Mobai, then reached out her right hand to touch the Divine Tree and started injecting her spiritual power.
A flash of silvery light glistened, and she suddenly disappeared.
Chen Mobai rushed over to where she had disappeared, feeling that it was similar to the trace of a teleportation array.
After circling the Divine Tree twice and finding no other way, he also reached out his right hand, touched the bark and injected spiritual power as described in the book.
A familiar sensation came over him. When he opened his eyes again, he felt the howling wind and the sudden thinness of the air around him.
Looking down, he found himself standing on a branch, seemingly at the crown of the Divine Tree.
At the tip of the branch he was standing on, there was a green fruit the size of a fist.
Chen Mobai looked around again and found that not only his own branch, but most of the branches at the top had a fruit of a different color.
Based on his past experience, the opportunity he was looking for was in this fruit.
He had a closer look and sure enough, he saw Yan Jinye who had come up before him. She was already in front of her yellow fruit, joyfully picking it.
“Brother, I’ll go down first.”
After getting her reward, Yan Jinye said to Chen Mobai from afar, then once again put her hand on the branch and injected her spiritual power.
With a sparkle of silver light, she vanished from the Magic Treasure Tree.
Chen Mobai tried his flying technique, but found himself unable to leave the branch beneath him. It seemed that there was a force forbidding flight here.
Which meant, he could only take his own fruit.
However, Chen Mobai wasn’t willing to give up. He took out a glass bead used for practicing spiritual power from his storage bag, hoping to control it to pick the fruit from the neighboring branches.
But as soon as the glass bead left his palm, it and the spiritual power injected into it lost contact with him and fell from the high altitude.
Chen Mobai finally gave up.
He shook his head, picked his own green fruit, then imitated Yan Jinye to leave the top of the Magic Treasure Tree.
When he opened his eyes again, he was standing in the same spot, his hand
still touching the bark of the Magic Treasure Tree.
Chen Mobai tried injecting spiritual power again, but unfortunately it seemed his spiritual power had already left a record in the Magic Treasure Tree and didn’t teleport him back to the top of the tree.
Sighing, Chen Mobai was about to leave when a thought struck him.
Aside from his Longevity Spiritual Power, he also had Pure Yang Spiritual
Power in his Dantian Qi Sea.
He immediately turned back and tried again.
With a flicker of silver light, Chen Mobai was back at the top of the Magic Treasure Tree.
He looked at the purple fruit in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Most of the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect practiced the Two-element
Technique, possessing two kinds of spiritual power.
He s probably not the first one to discover this bug, right?
