#1907 - Spirit Tree
Lan Lan stopped, and Jun Wu Xie turned back to look at those prodigies.
He couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
However, this smile, in the eyes of those prodigies, made them feel uneasy.
Because they didn't know what Jun Shen's smile meant or what it represented.
"You have made the right choice. Only those with principles can gain my approval.
Facing the competition for divine-grade resources, you were able to inform me of the vortex's danger, which is quite commendable.
I will grant you a life-saving charm, which may be useful in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, before those prodigies could react, he waved his hand, and a dozen or so military talismans shimmering with chaotic golden light pierced through the air, each entering the body of a prodigy.
"Remember, the military talisman I grant you can only be activated once. After activation, it will only last for a very short time. Use it sparingly unless you are in a life-or-death situation."
Upon hearing this, the prodigies immediately carefully sensed the military talisman within their bodies, feeling within it a power and killing intent that made their minds tremble, and they were both shocked and delighted.
"Thank you, Jun Shen, for bestowing the talisman. May I ask why Jun Shen would grant us this life-saving charm?"
They were very puzzled and full of doubts.
After all, they had never interacted with Jun Shen before, let alone have any friendship with him.
Receiving a talisman from Jun Shen for no reason made them feel somewhat surprised.
Could it be simply because they had just informed Jun Shen of the vortex's danger?
"This is a great era unprecedented in history, the most ferocious era of the apocalyptic torrent predicted, and it needs strong individuals like you.
I don't want to see you die in the Ninth Hengguan.
Reaching the Ninth Hengguan will inevitably be extremely dangerous.
Therefore, I am giving you a chance to turn the tables in adversity.
Are there any other questions?"
"Ah? No, we thank Jun Shen for the talisman and will surely remember Jun Shen's kindness!"
The chaotic golden talisman within their bodies made them realize that Jun Shen was far more powerful than they had imagined.
The power of that military talisman alone was enough to kill them all.
What kind of power was this?
Too terrifying!
No wonder the world calls him a contemporary legend!
"Continue to guard outside and obtain divine-grade energy.
You don't actually need to fight each other. Just distribute it well.
The energy that continuously bursts out intermittently is completely sufficient for your cultivation.
If you want to determine a winner, wouldn't it be better to fight to your heart's content when you have leisure time?"
"Jun Shen is absolutely right. We won't fight anymore."
They hurriedly agreed.
Jun Wu Xie didn't say anything more and immediately rode Lan Lan into the vortex.
The moment he stepped into the vortex, the powerful spatial force came crushing down, but it was blocked by the chaotic golden blood energy sphere he erected, emitting a clangorous tremor and sparks flying everywhere.
The prodigies watched with wide eyes.
A barrier constructed solely from blood energy could easily withstand the vortex's crushing force without even changing its shape!
This freakish defensive power left them dumbfounded and filled with envy.
Jun Shen is indeed a legend!
Too powerful, so powerful that the world can only look up to his back!
They couldn't help but exclaim, developing an endless yearning for his powerful strength.
… …
Inside the vortex, Jun Wu Xie and the others had already disappeared.
In a short while, they passed through the vortex and entered the cave world of the Ancestral God powerhouse.
The world inside was very vast.
However, what surprised Ling Fei, Long Xi, and Shu Yuan was that.
They could not see the sea of stars in the cave of this Ancestral God powerhouse. It was not a boundless starry sky, but a world.
Beneath their feet was a vast land, and above them was an endless sky.
The world inside was very dim, and not a single star could be seen in the sky.
"How could this be? Where has his sea of stars gone?"
Shu Yuan was filled with doubts.
Just then, a streak of dazzling light pierced through the air, streaked across the sky, rushed towards the vortex location, and disappeared.
A tidal wave of the sound of laws followed.
"The essence energy has disappeared, and the sea of stars has long since degenerated.
Now, this cave is more like a sea of energy.
The original divine energy that condensed into stars has all degenerated into liquid, forming an ocean.
It's just ahead. The energy that flew out just now came from that sea of divine energy."
After Jun Wu Xie finished speaking, he signaled Lan Lan to continue forward.
"So that's how it is."
Shu Yuan understood after hearing his explanation.
Soon, they saw the ocean, shimmering with divine light and surging with waves.
It was like a real ocean scene, with waves rising and crashing against the shore.
"The divine energy in the entire sea is only divine-grade one… …"
They came to the sea of divine energy, and seeing the quality of the divine energy liquid, Shu Yuan and Long Xi couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.
"In the center of the sea, there seems to be a tree?"
It was hazy and not very clear. Because the surface of the sea of divine energy was shrouded in divine light, it affected their vision.
"That's right, it's a tree. It should be a rare and precious divine tree that this powerhouse at the Ancestral God realm obtained in his lifetime. It was cultivated with the sea of stars in the cave, so the divine tree must be extraordinary.
It's just a pity that after he fell, the sea of stars degenerated, and the quality of the energy greatly decreased.
The divine tree was unable to absorb high-quality nutrients, so it's probably degenerating as well.
Let's go take a look."
Jun Wu Xie immediately came down from Lan Lan and walked on the sea.
The area of the sea of divine energy was not large, but the amount of liquid in the sea was still very large.
From time to time, huge waves surged, and then a large amount of divine energy liquid condensed into balls of energy and flew out.
Each ball of condensed energy required more than ten thousand times the amount of divine energy liquid to condense.
Soon, they arrived at the center of the sea of divine energy.
A divine tree was rooted in the sea, the tree was a thousand feet tall, and sparse fruits were hanging on it, like walnuts, flowing with divine light.
Although the fruits were sparse, because the divine tree was large enough, the total amount of its fruits was still very astonishing.
"It's actually a Divine Spirit Tree!"
Yue Yao couldn't help but be surprised when she clearly saw the appearance of this divine tree.
"The Divine Spirit Tree itself is not a high-grade divine tree, but its value far exceeds its grade and is very precious.
This divine tree, although only a grade three divine tree, is extremely rare and a rare treasure.
In the Divine Ancient World, most of the great forces cannot possess this tree.
I didn't expect that an Ancestral God's body would be planted with a Divine Spirit Tree.
Its preciousness lies in the fact that the tree body is huge, so the number of fruits produced is amazing, and the time from flowering to fruiting is much shorter than that required for other resources of the same quality.
In addition, the fruits produced by this tree also have an effect that is more conducive to being refined and absorbed by cultivators, so it is the best resource for people below the Divine Lord realm.
For a force, if they want to make the cultivation realm of each generation walk in front of the contemporaries of other forces, having a Divine Spirit Tree is undoubtedly a small advantage."
"There are really so many Divine Spirit Fruits on it… …"
Ling Fei, Long Xi, and Shu Yuan looked up at the tree and couldn't help but exclaim with slight excitement.
Although the fruits were sparse, the tree was too big, a thousand feet tall, and the entire tree was like a large mountain.
"It's a pity that most of the fruits are only high-grade divine-grade one, and only a small part of the fruits barely reach the early stage of divine-grade two. There are very few fruit kings at the treetop, and the quality is top-grade divine-grade two. There is not even a single divine-grade three Divine Spirit Fruit."
Jun Wu Xie was happy, but also inevitably a little regretful.
The Divine Spirit Tree itself is a divine-grade three divine tree, and under normal circumstances, it can bear divine-grade three divine fruits.
Due to the environmental factors here, it has only produced top-grade divine-grade two fruits at most.
"Jun Shen, you are so greedy."
Shu Yuan said with a smile. In her opinion, this was already an unimaginable huge gain.
On this divine tree, the number of fruits was amazing. Even if most of them were divine-grade one, they were high-grade divine-grade one fruits. Under normal circumstances, they could be given to powerful demigod realm experts as cultivation resources.
There were also a lot of divine-grade two early-stage fruits, but the proportion was small compared to the total number of fruits on the entire tree.
Those were resources that could enable demigods to impact the True God realm.
As for those fruit kings, there was no need to mention them. Top-grade divine-grade two!
In the Holy Spirit World, they were already peerless resources, difficult to find throughout the ages.
"Shu Yuan is right, I am indeed a little greedy.
The most precious thing is not actually the Divine Spirit Fruits on the tree, but this Divine Spirit Tree.
In the future, when there is an environment, planting it can cultivate more demigods, True Gods, and Heavenly God realm people.
Those fruit kings at the treetop, top-grade divine-grade two, for me, after refining them, breaking through to the peak of the demigod is not a problem.
In the future, to impact the extreme realm, when I reach the Ninth Pass, in that ultimate secret realm, there may be the divine-grade three resources I need."
Shu Yuan was stunned after hearing this.
Top-grade divine-grade two Divine Spirit Fruits can only allow Jun Shen to cultivate to the peak of the demigod?
The grade of resources required for his cultivation is too outrageous.
Cultivating like this, the demand for resources is really too harsh.
Only someone like Jun Shen can do it. If it were someone else, the resources required for cultivation would be a whole grade higher than their own realm, which would simply be a nightmare.
Because when the realm is not reached and the ability is insufficient, it is really very difficult to obtain resources that are one grade higher.
After all, for such resources, the competitors faced are basically people who are one major realm higher than themselves.
"An Ancestral God realm powerhouse, after passing away, the scene in the cave is so desolate… …"
Jun Wu Xie sighed.
Immediately, he used Sleeve Universe to prepare to collect the Divine Spirit Tree.
His divine power was used, and the Divine Spirit Tree shook, slowly rising from the sea.
At this moment, the surface of the sea around the Divine Spirit Tree, which originally only had waves of dozens of feet, instantly rolled up to hundreds of feet high.
A powerful and fierce aura came from the sea, as if a terrifying beast was awakening.
Immediately afterward, in the monstrous waves, a monster rushed out.
Half of its body emerged from the sea, its nine hideous heads shaking, emitting roars, its diamond-shaped pupils filled with fierce light.
“A ferocious beast with the bloodline of a Heavenly God, Xiang Liu!”
Long Xi and Shu Yuan exclaimed in shock.
Who would have thought that not only was there a Godly Tree here, but also a primeval ferocious beast with the bloodline of a Heavenly God.
Such a ferocious beast with this level of bloodline would actually appear inside the body of an Ancestral God, and had been slumbering here for who knows how long.
Primeval ferocious beasts with the bloodline of a Heavenly God, after reaching adulthood, if they can continue to grow, have extremely high potential, and their God-forbidden Domain is also terrifying.
Such species are extremely rare even in the Godly Ancient World, and all the major forces dare not provoke them.
How did an Ancestral God obtain it?
Or could it be that this Ancestral God found Xiang Liu's egg and secretly hatched and raised it?
Perhaps only such a reason can explain it.
Otherwise, if this Xiang Liu had parents, who would dare capture their offspring? That would simply be a catastrophe!
At this time, Xiang Liu roared, its nine heads opening their mouths wide, spewing out terrifying liquid, instantly corroding the void into nothingness.
Those liquids were more ferocious and terrifying than a torrent, and in an instant, they seemed to engulf the heavens and the earth.
“Your strength is not bad, but you are not capable of being presumptuous in front of me.
Today, I will take you in. In the future, you will cultivate properly under my command.”
Jun Wuxie flicked his sleeves, and chaotic golden light bloomed from his cuffs, evolving into a Qiankun World, generating terrifying suction, instantly enveloping Xiang Liu.
Xiang Liu roared, its nine heads shaking frantically, its body swaying, shattering the sky, its entire body lighting up with dense divine laws, trying to break free.
However, its struggle was futile, and it could not break free from the suppression of Jun Wuxie's Qiankun in his sleeve at all. Its body was passively shrinking, and it was soon taken into his sleeve.
A ferocious beast in the True God Realm, whose God-forbidden Domain had reached the peak of the Ten Directions Myth, was taken in in an instant.
Even though Shu Yuan and Long Xi knew of his abilities, witnessing this scene, they still felt deeply shocked in their hearts.
