Chapter 4634 The Origin of the Divine Sea

The appearance of the Supreme Earth Saint caused a stir in the entire auction house, and all the major sects were talking about it.

As soon as the powerful Earth Saint spoke, the surrounding noise quickly disappeared, and the auction continued.

Ke Rong's words warmed Liu Wuxie's heart. No matter what, he would not implicate the Taihe Sect.

"The items to be auctioned next are ones that I believe everyone has heard of, but very few people have actually seen."

Luo Shijun didn't seem too surprised by the appearance of several Supreme Earth Saints. The Brilliant Auction House had naturally received news of the fluctuations in the heavens and earth outside.

Everyone quickly composed themselves, eager to know what kind of treasure it was, as they had only heard of it but never seen it before.

After Luo Shijun finished speaking, two women in red carried a thick tree trunk onto the stage, causing a sensation.

"Why are they even auctioning off tree trunks?!"

Ninety-nine percent of the cultivators present did not recognize the origin of this tree trunk, thinking it was just an ordinary tree trunk.

Liu Wuxie's eyes narrowed suddenly. The Primordial Tree in the Primordial Sacred Realm swayed continuously, with numerous branches piercing through endless space and time, trying to merge this section of the trunk into it.

"Don't worry, I will definitely buy it!"

Liu Wuxie quickly communicated with the Ancestral Tree.

I already knew from the brocade that there was a rare ancestral tree among the items to be auctioned, but I didn't expect it to appear so soon.

Faced with the doubts from all around, Luo Shijun simply smiled.

Only a few old-timers seemed to have figured it out, but remained silent.

"This thing was called the Ancestral Tree in its previous life. I'm sure you all know about its origin from some ancient books. It was the first divine tree in the world, connecting heaven and earth, linking yin and yang, with its branches spreading across three thousand divine realms. Possessing the Ancestral Tree meant being able to freely travel through three thousand realms. However, the Ancestral Tree has long since perished, and now only a large number of its trunks remain scattered throughout the world. It would be extremely difficult to return to the beginning of the world. But the ancestral energy contained in the Ancestral Tree is of great help to cultivators. In addition, the Ancestral Tree contains extremely strong creation of heaven and earth and the origin of chaos. Even if it is very weak, it is a great tonic for cultivators."

Luo Shijun slowly introduced the origin of the ancestral tree.

Upon hearing that this unassuming tree trunk was actually the first divine tree in the world, countless gasps of astonishment echoed throughout the auction hall.

Everyone looked at the trunk of the ancestral tree with burning passion in their eyes.

As Luo Shijun said, even if the Ancestral Tree cannot be restored to its former strength and magnificence, absorbing the creation and primordial chaos within it would be enough for them to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth.

"As far as I know, the Primordial Tree can absorb all things in heaven and earth. Any power in the Three Thousand Realms can make the Primordial Tree grow rapidly. To master the Primordial Tree means to be able to absorb the power of the Three Thousand Realms. How powerful is that?"

The powerful figures from various sects were discussing it animatedly.

The Ancient God Realm is just one of the three thousand realms. Alien races, other worlds, the War Clan, and other unknown races occupy many small realms. Although their strength is not as great as that of the Ancient God Realm, they should not be underestimated.

The Primordial Tree encompasses everything; its branches connect to the Three Thousand Realms, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth from these realms to strengthen itself.

"Strange, since the Primordial Tree is so powerful that it can spread across three thousand realms, who has such great ability to destroy it?"

After listening to the introduction of the Primordial Tree, the confused cultivator asked a question.

The fact that the first divine tree was born in the world is enough to prove the value of the ancestral tree.

The Primordial Tree is the mother of all wood-type plants. All wood-type plants that have been born in the Three Thousand Realms are branches of the Primordial Tree.

Liu Wuxie was able to subdue the Fusang Tree and the Sun God Tree all these years thanks to the Primordial Tree.

Without the suppression of the Primordial Tree, the Fusang Tree, the Sun God Tree, and other divine trees would find it difficult to integrate into the Primordial Sacred Realm.

Over the years, the Ancestral Tree has grown stronger and stronger, its roots already firmly planted in the Primordial Sacred Realm, connecting all the surrounding small worlds together, and showing a faint tendency to return to the beginning of heaven and earth.

Every time a race is killed, a small world will be born in the Primordial Sacred Realm after the essence is refined.

Over the years, Liu Wuxie himself couldn't remember how many small worlds had been born in the Great Wilderness Holy Realm: the Dragon Realm, the Ghost Realm, the Demon Realm, the Elf Realm, the Chiyu Realm, the Faceless Realm, the Yama Realm, the Rakshasa Realm, the Asura Realm, and so on!

"Since the Ancestral Tree was the first living thing born from heaven and earth, do you know who the first race born from heaven and earth was?"

Some cultivators who knew the origins of the Ancestral Tree spoke mysteriously.

Please tell me, brother!

Those cultivators who were unaware of the situation quickly asked questions.

These messages were too far removed from them; only those who had lived for tens of thousands of years, or those top-tier experts, knew about them. Ordinary cultivators would never know such information.

"Haven't you heard of the gods?"

The most bustling area was the rogue cultivators' area. Besides the supreme Earth Saints and Earth Saints, many ordinary rogue cultivators and first- and second-rate sects were also gathered on both sides.

The experts from first-rate and second-rate sects looked at the cultivators who knew with fawning expressions.

"I think I've heard that name before!"

A cultivator at the Void Saint Realm quickly spoke up.

"According to ancient records, the gods were the first race born from heaven and earth. Not long after their birth, the rules of heaven and earth evolved, giving birth to the twelve sorcerer gods. They each governed wind, rain, thunder, lightning, yin and yang, and the five elements. The elements we cultivate today are all inseparable from these. Because the gods were the first to be born, they were naturally in harmony with heaven and earth. Even without cultivation, their lifespan was extremely long. What's even more terrifying is that the divine energy within the gods has a great suppressive effect on us human cultivators. At the same level, we humans are no match for the gods. However, the gods also have a major flaw: their reproductive ability is extremely slow. Over the years, the gods have been lying dormant, working hard to cultivate the next generation."

A powerful near-saint recounted the story in detail.

"What does this have to do with the destruction of the Primordial Tree?"

The surrounding cultivators were completely bewildered; all they wanted to know was how such a powerful ancestral tree could be so easily destroyed.

Do you know where supernatural powers come from?

The quasi-saint powerhouse who had just spoken said mysteriously.

"Hurry up and finish your story. The auction is about to start, and I'm not in the mood to listen to your nonsense anymore."

Seeing that the Quasi-Saint was still keeping them in suspense, the surrounding cultivators glared at him angrily, urging him to get to the point.

"After countless years of evolution, the human race was born. At that time, the human race did not know how to cultivate and suffered daily attacks from demonic beasts. Later, a human discovered a fruit growing on the ancestral tree. He was starving at the time, and he picked and ate it without hesitation. Can you guess what happened after he ate it?"

The near-saint realm expert remained unmoved and continued explaining the story.

Those around them felt an urge to explode, but they were helpless and could only obediently listen.

"How did it go after you ate it?"

Another person asked quickly.

"After that human ate this fruit, a mysterious space-time was created in his soul sea. The human race named it the Divine Power Sea. As time passed, a large amount of divine power was born in the Divine Power Sea. Gradually, the human race mastered the use of divine power and created many powerful divine techniques. They could move mountains, fill seas, and suppress ancient beasts. In this way, the human race slowly developed and drove the demon race that bullied them out of their territory. With the help of divine techniques, the human race rapidly developed and grew stronger. The various techniques we cultivate now actually all come from divine techniques."

The quasi-saint cultivator continued to speak eloquently.

"Since supernatural powers are so powerful, why don't we just cultivate them directly, instead of cultivating the Holy Profound Techniques?"

Another person asked a question.

"How many people here have actually opened up a sea of ​​supernatural powers?"

The sub-saint realm cultivator rolled his eyes. Supernatural abilities require supernatural power to activate. If you can't open up a sea of ​​supernatural power, even if I give you the supernatural ability, you won't be able to cultivate it.

Their discussion was loud and could be heard in most areas. This was naturally no secret to those super sects. In fact, many sects could even refine the Divine Power Pill, which could help cultivators awaken their Sea of ​​Divine Power.

When Liu Wuxie was in the star field, he killed many gods and consumed the Divine Power Fruit, and had already opened up the Divine Power Sea.

"You mean that by consuming the fruit from the Ancestral Tree, one can open up a sea of ​​supernatural powers and cultivate supernatural arts? The reason we cannot open up a sea of ​​supernatural powers now is because we do not have this fruit, and we can only cultivate sacred profound arts."

The people around seemed to understand.

"Consuming the fruit of the Ancestral Tree can indeed directly open up a Sea of ​​Divine Power, but it is not the only way. There are always some cultivators with strong talents who can open up a Sea of ​​Divine Power on their own. In order to commemorate this fruit, the human race named it the Divine Power Fruit. Since the destruction of the Ancestral Tree, it has become difficult to find the Divine Power Fruit in the world. Helplessly, the human race could only find another way and develop new cultivation methods. The various methods we cultivate today were all explored little by little by our ancestors."

The Quasi-Saint Realm expert said with a sigh.

Among countless races, humans may not be the most powerful, but their creativity is definitely among the best.

Countless ancestors used their wisdom to create one powerful spell after another, allowing the human race to continue its lineage.

"Could it be that this Divine Fruit has a great connection with the gods?"

Finally, someone understood: the Divine Fruit, the Divine Race, the Divine Sea, and the Divine Technique—each name contained the character for "god," and the Divine Race was also named after the god.

The word "god" has been firmly imprinted in the minds of humankind since the beginning of the world.

When we talk about God, we think of omnipotence; they are the rulers of heaven and earth.

"That's right, this Divine Fruit is evolved from the essence and blood within the bodies of the gods. The Ancestral Tree and the gods seem to be natural enemies. As long as the branches of the Ancestral Tree penetrate the bodies of the gods, they can instantly drain their essence and eventually give birth to a Divine Fruit. When humans consume the Divine Fruit, they can open up the Sea of ​​Divine Power. After the gods learned of this, they naturally did not allow the Ancestral Tree to exist between heaven and earth. So, for the next few million years, the gods spared no effort and finally cut off the trunk of the Ancestral Tree. Thus, the enmity between humans and the gods was formed. The Ancestral Tree was the foundation of the human race, but it was destroyed by the gods. The gods also did not allow the human race to continue to develop, lest the Ancestral Tree make a comeback. The gods have always wanted to invade the territory of the human race. The two races have been fighting since the ancient times."

After the quasi-saint finished speaking, a look of dejection flashed across his face.

The origin of humankind lies not far from the Ancestral Tree. The Ancestral Tree is like the womb of humankind; it was the creative energy and primordial chaos released by the Ancestral Tree that gave birth to humankind.

Liu Wuxie witnessed their entire conversation. He only knew that the gods wanted to destroy the Ancestral Tree, but he didn't expect there to be so many stories behind it.

Without the Divine Fruit, the human race might have long since vanished into the dust of history. It was the Divine Fruit that helped the human race open up the Divine Sea and cultivate supernatural power, which allowed them to survive the chaotic ancient world.
