Chapter 1409 - 645: Beyond the World Tree_3

"Is this the seed of the Heaven-Reaching Bamboo?"

"Yes, it’s my companion object, which can help me grow rapidly."

"Also, it’s best to use the purple energy in the jar after reaching the Saint Realm, as its effects will be optimal then."

"Oh?!"

Chen Xuan let out a puzzled sound; this was an unexpected gain.

Previously, he had some doubts whether this purple energy might have any adverse effects on him.

He admitted that he was a bit cautious.

However, caution ensures safe passage, and perhaps the old man wasn’t entirely sure either.

But now, it’s fine; even the World Tree says so, and if it’s effective on the Saint Realm, then there should be no problem.

"Boom..."

The Primordial Realm suddenly shook a bit. At that moment, a lush green bamboo beside Xiaoyuan began growing wildly, but it was thin, only as thick as an arm.

In the blink of an eye, it reached the top of Xiaoyuan’s form.

Simultaneously, it emitted dots of green light, drifting towards the World Tree.

"Xiaoyuan!"

Chen Xuan called out in his mind.

"Master!"

"Can you absorb these green dots?" Chen Xuan sensed a pure energy within those dots.

"I can, but..."

Chen Xuan naturally understood its concern, "Don’t worry, go ahead and absorb them. This bamboo has absorbed the energy from the Primordial Realm."

"Alright."

Then, Xiaoyuan began to absorb them slowly.

"How dare you!"

The World Tree suddenly erupted, and an immense pressure instantly appeared.

Chen Xuan waved his hand, isolating the pressure, "Why not use a bit, when you’re enjoying my food and drink?"

"You..."

"Follow the rules; you’ve gained enough benefits from me, don’t refuse a fair deal."

Chen Xuan dismissed it.

He had already planted an imprint within the World Tree, and judging by his sense, this imprint wasn’t easy to erase, which was convenient.

"At most ten percent!"

"Twenty percent! That’s the minimum!"

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort from the World Tree, Chen Xuan emerged victorious in the negotiation.

"This is more like it."

Chen Xuan smiled smugly, "Just absorb it in peace."

...

Several days passed in a flash.

"So, the outside of the World Tree is an endless black space."

Through the World Tree sapling in the Primordial Realm, Chen Xuan perceived the immense World Tree.

It had countless branches, bearing innumerable realms.

It flew rapidly within the boundless space, seemingly without end.

"What exactly is that?"

With just a glance, Chen Xuan felt suffocated and hopeless.

He felt as insignificant as an ant.

Of course, he also saw the Upper Domain, located above the World Tree’s waist.

It’s larger than the Supreme Domain, and there are at least hundreds of such Upper Domains.

As for Lower Domains like the Supreme Domain, there are even more.

"But why is there a thin line-like connection between other Lower Domains and Upper Domains, while there isn’t one between the Supreme Domain and Upper Domain?"

That’s the only distinguishing feature.

"Wonder whether it’s possible to go up?"

This was also a thought in Chen Xuan’s mind since he knew very little about the Upper Domain.

If it was possible to go up...

At that moment, the voice of the body interrupted his thoughts.

"Tonight is the night of the full moon."

"Got it."

Turns out a month has passed.

Chen Xuan shook his head, not knowing why, but since reaching the Emperor Realm, he felt time was passing faster, almost imperceptibly.

In a county below the Jiuyue Mansion.

The ten people from the perilous area were arranged in a small courtyard.

The reason for choosing this place was because it’s a spatial node of the Blood Race’s totem.

Activating this node would weaken the space between the Upper and Lower Domains.

This time, both Chen Xuan and the body were hiding in the space a kilometer away, standing side by side, watching the distant courtyard.

As the full moon approached the center.

The enchanting man in the courtyard started changing slowly, while the space above the sky began to shift.

"Will someone be transmitted down?"

Chen Xuan gazed at the sky and asked the body beside him.

"Probably not."

After observing for a long time, the body replied slowly, "The spatial barrier between the Upper and Lower Domains is too strong; back then, Qin Yu seemingly used the National Spirit of Great Yu to open it."

"Even though a node was activated, it’s still far from transmitting a living person."

"Just passing down some artifacts would be decent."

"Ha ha!"

Chen Xuan chuckled softly, hoping perhaps for a few Emperor Realm beings to be transmitted, allowing the World Tree to grow faster by absorbing their blood essence.

Though it’s only been a month, he had transformed considerably during this time.

Especially regarding rules, he could absorb the rules of the sapling world tree to complete his own now.

He felt his Rule of Time was approaching forty percent, and the Rule of Space had even reached seventy percent, while the Rule of Gold was about eighty percent.

However, due to the World Tree itself, growth had slowed down afterwards.

"Difficult!"

The body thought he was overthinking it.

At that moment, a silver light descended slowly from the sky, targeting the courtyard where the enchanting man was.

"Three items!"

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, seeing three shadows descending from the sky.

In the courtyard.

In the enchanting man’s sea of consciousness, the old man from last time appeared again.

"A bottle of pills, a defensive artifact, and an offensive artifact."

"The pills are enough for you to cultivate to the Peak of Ninth Layer!"

"Moreover, both artifacts were personally refined by the sect’s artifact refining elder, more than sufficient to face a Mid-Stage Emperor Realm!"

"Thank you, Master!"

The enchanting man was extremely excited, "Recently, an Emperor Realm expert from the Eastern Continent has been sweeping through the entire continent; I really didn’t dare to act!"
