Chapter 806: Chapter 387: Divine Tree Fusion and Gongyang’s Empty Promises

Accompanied by Gongyang Fu’s warning, the atmosphere in the dimly lit cabin instantly dropped to freezing point.

The Golden Core Zhenren were fine, but the relatives they brought along were mostly only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, turning pale upon hearing the news.

Gongyang Fu did not comfort everyone, as leaving the West Mountain Floating Domain was only the difficult first step.

This departure from the territory of the Demon Dao, no matter how meticulously planned, was bound to encounter unforeseen events.

And once something unexpected happened, it would probably be a road to death.

At this moment, a few Golden Core Zhenren familiar with Pei Wuxing successively communicated via Divine Sense, all of which were intercepted by the East Spring Undying Bone.

This is also why Gongyang Fu did not allow communication below the Golden Core; once Divine Sense Communication is intercepted,

what is said is no different from whispering in the enemy’s ear.

"Brother Gongyang, from where shall we enter the Lifeless Abyss on this journey?"

"Brother Gongyang, I’m truly puzzled. We were originally set to depart on the seventh day, so why are we moving in such a rush this night?"

The Golden Core Zhenren who spoke all had concerns.

Gongyang Fu hesitated several times, then transmitted to them, "As for where to enter the Lifeless Abyss, I am also unaware. Fellow Daoist Lei only communicated with Master Du and their mentor. However, I can tell you why we set off in such a hurry tonight."

A few Golden Cores fixed their gaze on Gongyang Fu.

Gongyang Fu did not rush to speak but first transmitted to remind the East Spring Undying Bone, indicating to listen together.

"All of you are people whom I, Gongyang Fu, trust. Why move tonight in haste? Naturally, it is to guard against the Cyan Demon Lineage.

If the plan changes unexpectedly, and we are still intercepted by the Outer Path Hidden Demon Sect, it means there’s a traitor among us.

If nothing goes wrong, it means..."

Gongyang Fu finished speaking, and his calm gaze swept over their faces.

Seemingly intentional observation.

The expressions of a few Golden Core Zhenren tightened, their reactions varied, but mostly grave, especially when the Cyan Demon Lineage was mentioned.

The Cyan Demon Lineage, the most mysterious lineage among the twelve veins of the Outer Hidden Demon Sect, with no one knowing its members.

Nor does anyone know who its Branch Master is.

Deeply hidden!

If the East Splendor Divine Palace truly had cultivators from the Cyan Demon Lineage, the trouble would be significant.

The Golden Core Zhenren exchanged glances, also seemingly scrutinizing those around them like Gongyang Fu, including a few more looks at the East Spring Undying Bone.

Wen Jiu observed everything, remaining silent.

He understood why Gongyang Fu chose to lay it all bare.

Simply probing.

Also an overt strategy.

If there are indeed cultivators of the Cyan Demon Lineage among them, Gongyang Fu is openly telling them that any mistake on this journey means certain death!

No matter what the Cyan Demon Lineage cultivators do, it is likely what the higher-ups of the East Splendor Divine Palace want to see.

If the itinerary is not leaked, everyone can reach the Lifeless Abyss safely.

If the itinerary is leaked, the higher-ups of the East Splendor Divine Palace can take this opportunity to resolve hidden dangers.

As for the situation where the Cyan Demon Lineage takes no action, the higher-ups of the East Splendor Divine Palace probably already have a contingency plan.

Otherwise, how dare they use this overt strategy?

...

The flying ship pierced the clouds, heading east.

Half a day later, it joined several Celestial River Guard flying ships, proceeding without incident toward the eastern border of the West Mountain Floating Domain.

Upon reaching the border, Wen Jiu could clearly feel multiple traces of Divine Sense sweeping over the flying ship, and even the fluctuation of a large array’s spiritual power.

Of course.

Gongyang Fu and the others were also aware of it.

So when facing scrutiny, not a single one dared to breathe heavily.

Although discovery wouldn’t mean death, the plan would fail, making it even harder to leave the Four Domains quietly.

Fortunately, the journey was uneventful.

The flying ship of the Lei-named Zhenren was evidently uninformed in advance, so nothing was discovered.

Even when Golden Cores boarded the ship, they were dismissed with a few words by the Lei-named Zhenren.

The Lei-named Zhenren had been serving in the West Mountain Floating Domain Lord’s Mansion for over seven or eight hundred years, although only at the Early Stage of Golden Core, everyone knew him.

In the Cultivation Realm, everything eventually comes down to human relationships.

Who wouldn’t give face?

After entering the Heaven-Reaching River, for the first three days, the Lei-named cultivator patrolled along the Heaven-Reaching River and the borders of the West Mountain Floating Domain as usual.

On the fourth day, the flying ship left the fleet, traveling alone.

However, on the fifth day, the flying ship took action, plunging into the Heaven-Reaching River Water at midnight.

After a day of continuous descent, it was unknown how deep into the Heaven-Reaching River the flying ship had penetrated.

During this time, the Lei-named cultivator did not open the cabin, nor did Gongyang Fu seem intent on going out.

Other Golden Core Zhenren felt somewhat uneasy, while Wen Jiu focused on controlling the East Spring Undying Bone to absorb the True Spirit Divine Tree.

In these few days, the East Spring Undying Bone had extracted the True Spirit Divine Tree from the Formless Demon Corpse, but the absorption process was not smooth.

When the two True Spirit Divine Trees were genuinely close at hand, the tree erupted with a beast-like intent to hunt.

As if facing a True Spirit Divine Tree of different roots.

When the two trees began to devour each other, it was not as Wen Jiu had predicted, that the second tree would directly refine the first.

Instead, they devoured each other.

Refining each other.

The generated aura fluctuations were no less than a battle of several Late-stage Golden Core Cultivators.

Fortunately, it occurred within the corpse body of the East Spring Undying Bone, where the East Spring Undying Bone could barely isolate it by mobilizing a large amount of Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi.

After two or three days of mutual devourment and refinement, ultimately, the first True Spirit Divine Tree wasn’t inferior.

What was consumed and refined was returned in an instant, yet it also lost itself.

Thus.

The first True Spirit Divine Tree was fully absorbed into the body of the second True Spirit Divine Tree.

Wen Jiu thought the refining process would be lengthy, but didn’t expect it to be surprisingly swift.

It was completed in one day.

After the first True Spirit Divine Tree was defeated, it did not resist, but instead willingly offered everything.
