#412 - The Treasure Tree and the Big Snake
Two and a half hours later.
Su Chen and his group arrived at a clear and bright lake. In the center of the lake was an island with an exceptionally rich spiritual energy, with wisps rising up, almost liquefying. Ancient trees grew vigorously and verdantly, resembling coiled dragons.
On the island, a mysterious golden sapling grew.
This sapling flowed with a crystal-clear light, its entire body like cast gold, dazzling and absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
The light of this sapling was too intense, like golden flames burning, which was very astonishing.
"This is… an Emperor-Rank Treasure Tree—the Golden Flame Mind-Clearing Tree!"
Upon seeing this, the people from the Cangxuan Holy Land couldn't help but gasp, their hearts shaken with joy!
This was a treasure tree recorded in legends!
Its leaves and branches could be used in medicine to refine Emperor-Rank pills with numerous wonderful uses.
The fruits it bore could even increase the cultivation of Emperor Realm experts and transform their foundations; it was a rare treasure!
This level of treasure tree could only be possessed by a few top-tier Emperor Lineage sects.
Whoosh—
As Su Chen and his group approached the island, the originally calm lake instantly became turbulent, and a purplish-golden serpent rushed out.
It was a hundred zhang long, its scales gleaming, and it even had a pair of jade horns growing on its head, with its abdomen slightly bulging.
"This is… a transforming Flood Dragon!"
The people from the Cangxuan Holy Land and the Su family were all amazed upon seeing this.
This serpent's bloodline was transforming, turning into a Flood Dragon!
The aura on its body was very rich and powerful, and its cultivation had reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm!
Once it successfully transformed into a Flood Dragon, it would leap through the dragon gate and break through to the Emperor Realm in one fell swoop!
The Cangxuan Holy Land was no stranger to such creatures. In history, there was a War God Ancestor whose spiritual pet snake had also reached this stage, half-transformed into a Flood Dragon, and its cultivation had also reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
Unfortunately, its opportunity was insufficient, and in the end, it failed to take the final step and transform into a Flood Dragon.
"Humans, get lost!"
"This is my territory!"
The serpent spoke in human language, its eyes cold, guarding the Golden Flame Mind-Clearing Treasure Tree, and its terrifying power of laws locked onto Su Chen and his group.
But to its surprise.
Not only were these humans not afraid, but they became even more excited, their burning gazes fixed on it, as if looking at a rare treasure.
"Hiss—"
"An Emperor-Rank Treasure Tree! The Golden Flame Mind-Clearing Tree!"
"And a serpent about to transform into a Flood Dragon!"
"Hahaha… We're rich! We're rich!!"
Just then, a joyful voice rang out.
A cloud ship arrived, with dozens of martial artists standing on it, each with an extraordinary aura and outstanding talent.
The leader was a woman in purple, with a powerful Quasi-Emperor Realm aura surrounding her.
These martial artists now had expressions of surprise and excitement on their faces, staring intently at the treasure tree and the serpent on the island, directly ignoring Su Chen and his group.
"Fellow Daoists, everything should be done in order of arrival. We discovered the treasure tree here first."
An elder from the Cangxuan Holy Land frowned, somewhat displeased.
"Oh… you?"
"A mere newly promoted Emperor Lineage sect. I don't think you can even beat this serpent, right?"
"Without even a Quasi-Emperor, do you really think you can contend with my Tianguang Pavilion?"
The woman in purple sneered, glancing at Su Chen and his group with contempt and disdain.
She naturally recognized the identities of Su Chen and his group, knowing that they came from the Cangxuan Holy Land and the Su family, which was why she didn't take them seriously.
"Tianguang Pavilion?"
The people from the Cangxuan Holy Land were stunned for a moment, and some of the martial artists had strange expressions, taking a deep look at the other party.
In the Nine Heavens Divine Realm, the people from Tianguang Pavilion had secretly attacked Martial Ancestor Wu Ling and others, and were eventually killed by Su Chen and Chen Lezhang!
With the Town Heaven Divine Pillar in hand, the secrets of heaven were isolated, and to this day, the people of Tianguang Pavilion still didn't know who the murderer was.
Unexpectedly, the people of Tianguang Pavilion were still as strong and domineering as ever, and they were about to snatch the opportunity and treasure as soon as they saw it!
"You all get lost too!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The serpent's eyes grew colder, and it let out a terrifying roar, with lightning intertwined around it, and a powerful Quasi-Emperor Realm pressure erupted, stirring up monstrous waves.
"I'll deal with this serpent. Elder Wang, you seize the opportunity to collect the treasure tree. Remember to dig up all the soil around the treasure tree, that's the spiritual soil that nourishes the treasure tree!"
"The rest of you, block these trash from the Cangxuan Holy Land. If they don't know what's good for them, then kill them!"
The woman in purple quickly gave the order, then raised her hand and grasped a long saber, and with a loud bang, slashed at the serpent!
The Saint Realm Ninth Heaven expert, called Elder Wang, stepped into the air, holding a gourd, ready to activate it at any time, and uproot the treasure tree.
The other Tianguang Pavilion martial artists didn't say a word, and took out their weapons, erupting with powerful divine powers and spells, and killing Su Chen and his group!
