Chapter 1505

Hum!

The ancient tree seemed to sense danger; in an instant, its branches danced and runes condensed, attempting to resist that golden palm.

However...

Pfft!

That golden palm completely ignored these runes, landing directly upon the ancient tree, and then tore off a handful of branches.

Hum!

The ancient tree shuddered, as if having received some massive impact, and then, with a flash of spiritual light, it vanished from where it stood.

"Hm? It escaped?" Luo Tian watched this scene, slightly stunned.

But after thinking about it, it wasn't strange for an ancient tree capable of self-cultivation to run away.

He carefully observed the branches he had snatched, and his brows immediately furrowed.

"How come there are no fruits? Where did that fragrance come from..."

Luo Tian looked for another moment, then suddenly realized: "The fragrance is on the leaves... So it was a tea tree that had gained sentience?"

In an instant, a look of disappointment appeared on Luo Tian's face.

He had been hungry, but ended up only grabbing a section of tea tree branches; what could he do with this?

It could only fill him up with water!

"Sigh, forget it! Filling up on water it is." Luo Tian shook his head helplessly, took that branch, returned to his small courtyard, and began to boil water to brew tea.

After some fussing, Luo Tian picked up the first cup of tea and brought it to his mouth.

Whoosh!

In an instant, a fragrance that felt like a divine awakening rushed into Luo Tian's limbs and bones.

"Hm? This... is it this fragrant?" Luo Tian stood up abruptly, looking at the tea in his hand and the remaining branches, his eyes going straight for a moment.

The taste of this tea was definitely the best he had ever encountered in his life!

The kind he wouldn't trade even for a pork knuckle!

"A treasure! This is absolutely a treasure!"

Luo Tian looked at the branch in his hand, which only had a dozen leaves left on it, and he immediately began to feel regret.

"Damn! Why did I go soft just now? I should have pulled that ancient tree up by the roots and planted it in the courtyard! Now that the guy has escaped, how am I supposed to find it later?"

Luo Tian used his soul power to scan the surroundings, but discovered that the tea tree's aura had already vanished without a trace.

"Hm? That is..."

Although he didn't find the tea tree's aura, Luo Tian was startled to discover that in this mountain range, two people were heading in his direction.

"Perfect, I can use these two to learn some intelligence about the Upper Realm." Luo Tian secretly made up his mind.

At this moment, in the mountain forest, an old man and a young girl were walking slowly, their faces full of nervousness.

"Grandfather, must you really go? The Tiandang Mountain Range is a forbidden zone of life!" a girl dressed in white, with a stunningly beautiful face, said with tears in her eyes.

The old man in front of her had white hair and beard, and looked haggard, as if he could die at any moment.

The old man glanced at the girl and sighed, saying: "Qing'er, my lifespan has run out; I have at most half a month left!"

"If I were alive, the Blood Moon Sect might still fear the Profound Heaven Sect a little, but if I die, there will be no one who can oppose the Blood Moon Sect Master! By that time, everyone in our sect will die!"

"Right now, the Tiandang Mountain Range is the only chance for me, and for our Profound Heaven Sect, to survive!"

"The only thing that can extend my life right now is the Undying Divine Medicine! And the Undying Divine Medicine can only possibly exist within some super powers or the few great forbidden zones!"

"But those super powers would never give such a precious thing to me, and the other great forbidden zones are either too far away or too dangerous for me to travel to."

"Only this Tiandang Mountain Range—it is rumored that the master of the Tiandang Mountain Range might have already fallen. If he is truly dead, then the Undying Divine Medicine might still be there!"

"Therefore, this Tiandang Mountain Range is the only chance for me, and even our entire sect, to live! No matter what, I must venture in, even if I die inside! You've brought me here, and that is enough! Now, go down the mountain and wait for me. If I succeed in half a month, I will naturally come down to wait for you, but if I fail, you must immediately go far away, never return in this life, and do not seek revenge for me."

When the old man said this, he revealed a look of determination.

Hearing her grandfather's words, a look of sorrow flashed across Qing'er's face and vanished.

A moment later, she also made up her mind, grabbed the old man to support him, and said: "Grandfather, I will go with you!"

"Qing'er, you..." The old man just wanted to persuade her otherwise.

But Qing'er shook her head and said: "Grandfather, the Blood Moon Sect is so cruel; do you think they would let me escape? If you fail, I will die anyway! Rather than that, it's better if I take a gamble with you, Grandfather; perhaps... there is still a glimmer of hope!"

The old man thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Fine, we will go together! May the heavens have eyes and allow my granddaughter and me to see the Undying Divine Medicine alive!"

"Okay!" Qing'er, her face covered in tears, walked up the mountain with the old man in great sorrow.

Not long after...

"Yo, you two have had a hard journey." From afar, the old man heard Luo Tian's voice from ahead.

"What?"

In an instant, the grandfather and granddaughter were terrified to death!

You must know, this is a forbidden zone of life, one of the world's absolute dead zones!

Except for people like them who were forced into a corner, it was impossible for anyone to exist here!

Yet at this moment, they heard someone speaking!

Could it be that they were so unlucky that they had encountered the legendary ominous presence?

Bang!

Qing'er grabbed her grandfather's arm and said while crying: "Grandfather, what should we do?"

The old man gulped hard and said: "Let's see what's going on."

As he spoke, he bowed tremblingly toward Luo Tian and said: "Greetings, my lord. My granddaughter and I, without permission, have rashly entered the mountain. We deserve to die; please, my lord, forgive us!"

Luo Tian was stunned upon hearing this.

What is this situation?

He only decided to establish his own power here today!

But the tone of the other party sounded as if they already knew?

And, the other party's attitude was a bit too polite, wasn't it?

"Uh... no need to be so polite; I just moved into this place myself." Luo Tian laughed dryly.

Moved into this place?

The old man felt a bit strange hearing this term, but seeing that the other party didn't seem to have any intention of blaming them, he felt a sense of relief.

At this moment, Luo Tian spoke up: "The two of you have come from afar; come to my humble abode for a chat."

"Yes!"

The two dared not be slow and could only follow Luo Tian.

Soon, the two arrived at the courtyard Luo Tian had just built, and after just one glance, both were stunned.

"This... what is the situation?"

The grandfather and granddaughter looked at each other, both full of confusion.

This courtyard, who built it?

How could it be ugly to this extent?

Could it be that they were overthinking it?

Qing'er was just about to say something, but saw her grandfather suddenly shudder, his whole body freezing in place.

"Hm? Grandfather, what's wrong?" Qing'er asked, puzzled.

She saw the old man pointing tremblingly at the fence around the courtyard, saying intermittently: "Da... Daluo Immortal Tree!"
