Chapter 165: Divine Tree
Divine Tree!
Divine Tree!!
Chen Yan's eyes sparkled as he looked at the giant tree and gently swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
If this giant tree is truly the Divine Tree...
He once drank diluted Divine Tree Juice from a Wooden Bowl, and that stuff had extraordinary effects, enhancing the body in a miraculous way—even in its diluted form!
The most crucial point is that the Divine Tree Juice enhances the physique without any hidden dangers or side effects!
There are two paths for cultivators in the Domain Realm: for those who walk the path of Body Cultivation, they must introduce external Yin Sha into their bodies to enhance their physique. For instance, Young Lady Gu Gu Qingyi cultivates the way of killing through Combat Technique to refine her body and increase her strength.
However, once external Yin Sha enters the body, the Primordial Spirit inevitably becomes impure, ultimately resulting in a situation where one has to choose either Body Cultivation or Divine Cultivation.
Chen Yan clearly has both Body Cultivation Techniques and Divine Cultivation Techniques, but he has not practiced them, not wanting to take such a crippled cultivation path.
Back when he drank the Divine Tree Juice from the Wooden Bowl and learned its origins intermittently from there, Chen Yan had already started to have some imaginations and subtly had some ideas.
And now, this mythical Divine Tree might just be right in front of him!!
Beside him, Big White lay on the ground, gently nudging Chen Yan with its head. Chen Yan's heart skipped a beat, quickly placing a hand on Big White's head and another hand over Big White's mouth, shaking his head slowly.
Big White was very understanding, lying quietly without making any noise.
Chen Yan lay on the ground, staring intently at the giant tree in the mountain's core for who knows how long.
·
The clinking sounds of chiseling were constant, suggesting that the Fierce Beast Race below should be mining minerals.
And the minerals seemed to be things derived from the roots and stems of the giant tree.
Chen Yan observed for a long time, noticing nearby monsters from the Fierce Beast Race wielding weapons, walking around to patrol. More Fierce Beast Race miners pushed carts, loading and transporting the minerals chiseled from the bulges.
With his keen eyesight, Chen Yan could see that the things chiseled from the bulges were blocks of stone, black and shiny, seemingly containing some kind of crystalline structure.
They should be the Yin Sha Spirit Crystals he had collected before.
Chen Yan pondered for a while, gently patted Big White, and then turned around to crawl back. Big White also crawled close to the ground, carefully following Chen Yan's lead.
Man and beast moved away from the mountain's belly through the cave passage, crawling for several dozen meters before Chen Yan finally stood up, briskly moving away with Big White.
Hours later, Chen Yan and Big White emerged from the cave, returning to the exit on the cliff of the canyon's rock wall.
Chen Yan sat at the cave entrance on the slightly protruding rock ledge, quietly pondering before gently slapping his thigh.
"Let's do it!"
Chen Yan's eyes flickered as he gritted his teeth and muttered, "Returning empty-handed from a treasure mountain is not my style."
Such a treasure, having encountered it, how can it be let go?
But...
Executing a plan is necessary, but it must not be done recklessly.
This time, he didn't intend to undertake a big operation; he wasn't heavily equipped or sufficiently prepared.
And there's only two days left in the transmission time, making it quite rushed.
It would be better to return this time, make all necessary preparations, gather a large batch of equipment, and come back next time!
Hmm, there are at least hundreds of Fierce Beast Race miners and armed overseer warriors in the mountain's core space—and this might only be the mining worksite; the entire mining area could have even more Fierce Beast Race members.
His Spells are suppressed here; if he wants to charge down alone now, he would have to transform into a Super Saiyan...
Better to go back, make full preparations, get a bunch of heavy weapons, then stand at the cave entrance and throw down dozens of grenades, blowing everything up into chaos before jumping down with a Gatling gun and tearing apart anyone in front of him!
Right, also the Divine Tree Juice, to figure out how it is extracted, must be clarified first.
Having thought so much, Chen Yan suppressed these tumultuous thoughts, striving to stabilize his emotions.
He hugged Big White's neck, "You stay here, don't come in with me! Keep watch at the cave entrance, if anyone finds this place, notify me."
After saying this, he grabbed a mountaineering bag, picked some supplies, stuffed them into his pockets, took up the recurve bow again, and walked into the depths of the cave.
·
For the next two days, Chen Yan did nothing but lay at the cave entrance in the mountain's core space, quietly observing, trying to gather more useful information.
Especially regarding how the Divine Tree Juice is extracted, which was crucial for Chen Yan—there's no chance he could rush down and dig up a hundred-meter-tall giant tree to carry it away, right?
Perhaps it was truly good luck, or maybe heaven favors those who keep trying because after waiting for two days, Chen Yan really did encounter success!
Just when there were only a few hours left on his transmission countdown, Chen Yan was lying at the cave entrance, with a piece of chocolate in his mouth, not chewing but letting the saliva slowly melt the chocolate, swallowing it bit by bit.
This way, he could minimize noise and conserve energy, extending his time in hiding.
Suddenly, Chen Yan heard a sound of blaring horns from below!
