Chapter 464 - The Mother Tree

Chi Xue reached the side of the Immortality Peaches Tree, she then sacrificed Feng Qianyi and the phoenix lady vaporized into a bloody mist that the divine tree quickly absorbed. Immediately, the seals around the divine tree then opened up a safe path.

The young lady then plucked a ripe Peaches of Immortality and left without touching the other Peaches of Immortality.

There were only one or two peaches on each tree, and with the three divine trees together, there were only a total of five while the others were still unripe.

At this moment, the sounds of objects crashing into the soil could be heard as the other boats docked at the riverbank. Their arrival triggered the seals Chi Xue left behind and activated the hidden skills. Countless experts were caught off guard, and some died on the spot while another few unlucky ones were blasted into the river.

Screams could be heard from the riverbank, and as Zhong Yue looked back, he saw the experts swarming over.

Shua——

His psyche flowed out, lifting Ying Nu, Husan Weng, and the others into his Yuan Shen secret realm while Chi Xue rushed over quickly.

Zhong Yue then said, “I’m at the critical moment of the seventh revolution, it’s best for us to avoid a conflict against them!”

The two of them then walked into the woods, and Zhong Yue thought in his heart as he watched the incoming Qi Practitioners, There are too many people and too few Peaches of Immortality. Chi Xue took only one so there are four left, this is more than enough to soak the land with blood.

The boats that arrived here were all at the brink of collapse, there were holes everywhere and even the two Black Tortoise Celestial Race experts’ boat sank in the river. Without the boats, no one could turn back, and thus, they were all trapped here.

This was the center of the Peach Garden that was surrounded by the God Burying River, making it like a lone island. That being said, without the golden boat or anything like that, it was impossible to leave.

However, all of the cultivators had only one golden paper boat or the black wooden boat, it wasn’t easy to craft them, and even if they had extra, it’d be useless as well. Because they only have to cross the river once, and there was simply no need to go back again as even if they had left the island, they still wouldn’t be able to leave the Returning Ruins.

There was only one way to leave the Returning Ruins, and that was to wait for the Kun Lun and A’thoer gods to teleport them back.

Hence, those on the island were stuck here, no one could leave, and with there only four Peaches of Immortality left, the development of situation would only go down one way.

The bloody and gory way!

One could easily tell just how many would die from the bloodshed!

As for Zhong Yue and Chi Xue, it was definitely not a good idea to clash with the experts, the best timing to fight for the Peaches of Immortality was, of course, when the experts have eliminated most of themselves.

Furthermore, Zhong Yue was also in the critical moment of his seventh revolution. His strength was now back at the Inner Core level, and it was definitely unwise to fight the experts at this point in time.

Zhong Yue’s eyes flashed, and he furtively took out a golden paper from Chi Yun’er’s Yuan Shen secret realms. He showed it to her, and when she saw it, her eyes lit up as well. Despite them not even saying a single word, they both knew what the other meant.

This golden paper came from Chi Yun’er. After her death, the treasures in her Yuan Shen secret realms belonged to Zhong Yue now.

If there was any danger, the two of them could use the golden paper to leave the island.

The two of them silently moved away from the blood-curdling battlefield and toward the other parts of the island. The island wasn’t small, but most of the places here was just wood and forest. Even though there were peach trees everywhere, they were only ordinary peach trees as the godly soils had degraded to ordinary soil.

Zhong Yue crouched down and picked up a clump of soil in his hand, he then examined it and inspected the roots of the peach trees as well. His brow furrowed, and he said to Chi Xue, “The Returning Ruins isn’t going to hold long, we might be the last batch of visitors here. This continent will not be able to come out from the black hole anymore.”

Chi Xue nodded. The energy in the godly soil had been siphoned away by the black hole over time, and eventually, only a small piece of the god’s land still had the godly soil. This was also the direct cause of the deaths of the other divine peach trees.

The deaths of the Immortality Peach Tree and the great reduction in the number of Peaches of Immortality were omens of the Returning Ruins’ end.

There were many treasures, secrets, and mysteries in the Returning Ruins, and it was a pity they were going to disappear. But there was nothing they could do as they were too weak to change anything.

“Other than these three Immortality Peach Trees, I heard that there is also a mother tree, if that mother tree is to die in the black hole as well, that’ll be real pity.” Chi Xue looked around and said, “But, where can it be?”

The two of them ventured deeper into the woods, and suddenly, a series of loud blasts came from the back. The battle between the Kun Lun and A’thoer experts had started!

The battle would be incredibly gory – the pair felt the intensity from the rumbling of the earth that traveled to their position, in the end, none of it was related to Zhong Yue and Chi Xue anymore.

“If there really is a mother tree, we might just be able to find it!” Zhong Yue’s eyes brightened up, “The Six Paths Fruit Tree is even weaker than the mother tree, but if even it knew how to find a way to escape, then so would the mother tree!”

Chi Xue’s eyes brightened up as well, and she said, “That mother tree is most probably in this Peach Garden. There were no Qi Practitioners that could have found it because it doesn’t let people find her. But now, the Returning Ruins is dying, it must have been trying to find ways to leave. And that gives us a chance to track on its traces and find it!”

The other Immortality Peach Tree was pinned on the ground by the seals of the Peach Garden, but the mother tree was incredibly strong, even stronger than the Six Paths Fruit Tree, it might just be able to breakthrough the seals of the imperial court!

If they could find the mother tree, any Peaches of Immortality it had would be ten times better than those out there!

Zhong Yue and Chi Xue searched for a long time, but there were still no signs of it. While the battle on the other end of the island was still on-going, it was also slowly settling down. Most of the experts would have been killed with only the stronger ones remaining.

Suddenly, Zhong Yue abruptly stopped, and Chi Xue walked right into his back, “What is it?”

“The soil... it isn’t the same here.” Zhong Yue stared at the soil and squatted down, taking up and examining a small clump of it and. He said, “The other godly soils have degraded into ordinary soil, but here, they still have a slight surge of godly energy in them…”

He stood up and walked around, the godly soil around covered a circle of thirty feet in radius.

“Why, why haven’t the godly soil here degraded yet?”, Zhong Yue mumbled.

Chi Xue then suddenly bowed down and said reverently, “The Returning Ruins is dying, mother tree, please tell us what we can do to bring you out of the Returning Ruins.”

She waited, but there was no response to her pleas.

Chi Xue stood up and walked into the circle of godly soils, scanning the ground and air but to no avail.

“Innate Golden Eye, open!” Chi Xue mumbled, and her divine eyes emerged on her forehead. However, even the young lady with her divine eye shook her head moments later and said, “I see nothing.”

“Divine third eye!” Zhong Yue mumbled and he looked around, he saw nothing odd as well.

Suddenly, Chi Xue said, “Divine third eye? If you have a third eye, doesn’t it mean you have a divine first eye and divine second eye? Why don’t you use all and look at it? You might be able to see anything.”

Zhong Yue shook his head and replied, “I’ve only awakened the divine third eye, the first and second are yet to … wait, I might be able to cast them out temporarily…”

The divine first eye was in his left eye and the second on his right, both were unresponsive and had yet to reveal signs of awakening. Even after Zhong Yue cultivated the sun and moon pupils, fusing them with his eyes, they only had improved his eyes but still doesn’t trigger anything on the divine eyes.

But now, he suddenly had an idea, he took out the divine herb Angelica and sliced a root from it. The divine herb then cried in pain and Zhong Yue quickly offered compensations to it, “I will give you more soil.”

Immediately, the divine herb stopped crying and returned to his Yuan Shen secret realms in high spirits.

Zhong Yue consumed the Angelica root, and his blood essence burst out through the sky, the divine herb’s medicinal effect then started to compress his blood essence and refine the Fuxi blood in his body!

Zhong Yue then quickly surged his arcane energy to concentrate the medicinal efficacies into his eyes, refining the Fuxi blood in the eyes!

He then opened all three eyes together, his vision was blurrier than before and although the godly were still the godly soils, he could clearly tell what was in front of him. It was vague, faint, and imperceptible, huge and tall like a tree, while emanating a very warm sensation.

Beneath the tree was an altar, and above them were the leaves and branches. Its tree crown glimmered in godly rays and covered the whole sky.

A path extended from the altar out to him and away. The pathway was hidden in another dimension and was composed of totem patterns that were blurred in mystery.

Zhong Yue took a step forward but his legs just phazed through the ground.

With the three divine eyes, he saw the pathway right in front of him but couldn’t walk on it.

“Um… Angelica, can I have more… more of your roots…”, Zhong Yue stammered as he asked.

“More soil!” the divine herb bargained.

Zhong Yue quickly agreed and the other divine herbs could only stare at their friend at Angelica with envious eyes. Zhong Yue consumed the Angelica roots, and his eyes flared out. The left eye turned into a blazing sun, with the sunfire burning in it, while his right eye brightened up like a round moon, with the icy-cold moonlights flowing in it.

Three godly rays were shot out from his divine eyes, the pathway before him turned clearer as if it was coming into realization!

Zhong Yue then took another step, and this time, he was able to walk onto the hidden path in the other dimension.

Krong————

An ear deafening sound of explosion blasted in his ears. Everything else, including Chi Xue and the Peach Garden, disappeared from his vision, and all he could see around him now was the endless darkness and a jade stair which connected to an altar in mid-air where the mother tree grew on.

Zhong Yue calmed his thoughts, and he walked onto the jade stair and reached for the altar.

While in the Peach Garden, Chi Xue’s eyes flared out, and her jaws dropped on the ground, she couldn’t even collect her thoughts from the fact that Zhong Yue had just disappeared!

She tried stepping forward like Zhong Yue did, but there was nothing at all. Her heart then pounded in shock as she thought, What is this? Is his divine eye really stronger than my Innate Golden Eye?
