Chapter 515: Divine Osmanthus Tree Enters the Vortex

Fu Young wrapped an arm around Xiao Shou while the osmanthus tree’s branches curled around and lifted up Tushan Shanhe, Yao Heng, Yao Ming, Gou Guangming and Gou Guangyan in the distance, the Water Qilin, and the Dark Night Spirit Sword that had fallen some distance away from Xiao Shou. When it came to Venerable Jian Li, Fu Young hesitated briefly before lifting him as well.

Then, they all flew into the damaged Heaven Origin Realm, which was enclosed and protected by the osmanthus tree’s roots.

For Fu Young, any place where the osmanthus tree grew was less than a step away. He could reach it in the blink of an eye, even while carrying other people. Thus, everyone felt as though only an instant had passed before their feet touched solid ground, and they landed on familiar yet terribly devastated terrain.

Above their heads was the unmistakable barrier of their own mountain protecting formation.

As they came to their senses, familiar voices reached their ears.

“Sect Master! You’ve finally returned!”

“Everything suddenly turned upside down out there today. Mountains and rivers were overturned, and our entire Eternal Prosperity Mountain Range was flipped over!”

“The Heavenly River even fell down below, and all the peaks, including Eternal Spirit Stone Peak, have suffered damage.”

“Fortunately, the barrier protected us. Most of the people inside the sect are unharmed, though a few suffered minor injuries.”

“We’ve already directed the cultivators, ordinary people, and demonic beasts that rolled into the surrounding area to take shelter inside the outer barrier of the great formation.”

“In short, everything is in chaos right now. The ground has only just settled.”

“But the sunlight is extremely dim.”

“The sky has turned the color associated with the Wood element.”

“Please give us your instructions, Sect Master. What should we do?

“Something terrible has happened outside, and it has had an enormous impact on the Heaven Origin Realm. I will deal with it as quickly as possible. Take the weaker and younger disciples to a safe place and keep them there until further notice. Once everything has been dealt with, I will notify you when it is safe to come out.”

Faced with everyone’s panicked, incoherent reports, Xiao Shou took a deep breath before giving his instructions. Then he turned to Fu Young and asked, “Young’er, what should we do next?”

“Master, you should go somewhere safe and wait as well! Leave everything else to me,” Fu Young said confidently.

Seeing his confidence, Xiao Shou furrowed his delicate brows.

He recalled a time when his own cultivation had increased dramatically, leaving him feeling as though he could accomplish anything. Back then, he hadn’t been willing to listen to anyone else’s advice. Presumably, Young’er was in the same state of mind now.

Very well. He also needed some time to carry out the idea that had just occurred to him. Given Young’er’s confidence, he should be able to hold out until Xiao Shou had finished putting his plan into action.

With that thought, Xiao Shou glanced at Tushan Shanhe, who was about to object, signaling him to remain silent.

“Very well. I’ll go recover first. I’ll leave everything here in your hands, Young’er.” ⅇ𝒃𝚗ℴ

“Mm!”

With Fu Young’s intelligence, how could he fail to see what Xiao Shou was thinking? This only made him more frustrated.

Why was it so difficult to make his Master look at him in a new light and see that he had become an incredibly powerful man?

He was simply too blinded by his own perspective. No matter how powerful his cultivation became, with a young boy’s face, it was genuinely difficult for anyone to see him as a grown man!

If he wanted people to change their perception of him, he would have to grow several years older. Better yet, when he ascended to the Immortal Realm, he could reshape his body into that of a fully grown man!

…

Still feeling frustrated, Fu Young flew out of Eternal Prosperity Sect. The moment he left, he merged with the enormous Divine Osmanthus Tree that enveloped the entire Heaven Origin Realm.

He then controlled the Divine Osmanthus Tree to pursue the palaces of the eight major sects, flying straight into the enormous cyan vortex.

The moment the colossal osmanthus tree entered the vortex, the entire cyan vortex trembled violently.

Inside it, eight smaller vortices had originally formed eight separate passages, allowing each of the eight palaces to travel through its own route. Suddenly, all eight vortices exploded with a thunderous crash.

In the next instant, they twisted and rapidly merged, forming an entirely new, enormous blue vortex. It sucked all eight palaces and the colossal Divine Osmanthus Tree into itself.

After sensing that the enormous osmanthus tree had passed through the vortex entrance and entered the passage without sustaining any damage, Xiao Shou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then turned to Yao Heng and asked, “Yaoyao, can you use your internal space now?”

“Of course! My dearest Master, please feel free to enter! Baby has more than enough spiritual jade to support everyone, and after this advancement, the time ratio inside has increased even more!”

Having returned to the familiar Xiao Shou Sect and reached temporary safety, Yao Heng was once again in the mood to act cute.

At those words, Yao Ming, who had just been thoroughly insulted, was left dumbfounded. He flew over to Yao Heng in disbelief and complained, “Beautiful Flower, you’re so unfair! You’re so nice to the great beauty, but you’re always so fierce toward me. Where’s your sense of kinship?”

“Stinky Flower, if you really cared about your kin, you’d offer yourself up for me to eat! Once I eat you, I can grow bigger again,” Yao Heng snapped, glaring at Yao Ming.

“E-Eat me…”

Yao Ming was so frightened that he immediately flew far away. Crossing his arms over his chest, he wailed aggrievedly, “Beautiful Flower, how can you be so cruel? How could you possibly want to eat a handsome flower as beautiful, charming, lovable, and unique as me, a flower with so many virtues that I couldn’t possibly count them all? You’re breaking my heart!”
