Chapter 2328: Discussing Plans

After taking over the Wu family, he obtained news of the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree.

Since he knew of the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree's existence, Ye Zhangqing naturally did not want to miss it and had to find a way to obtain it.

However, this matter still needs to be discussed with Huang Lao; without Huang Lao's help, he could not handle this Nine Heavens Treasure Tree himself.

After arranging matters here, the next day Ye Zhangqing decided to rush back to Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng.

Upon hearing the news, the head of the Wu family personally came to see him off.

However, upon seeing the head of the Wu family, the girl clearly showed fear, her whole body involuntarily shrinking behind Hongyue.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing smiled and comforted her.

"Don't be afraid; from now on the Wu family will no longer cause you trouble."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Wu family beside him also repeatedly smiled and nodded, appearing extremely amiable.

However, the girl obviously could not recover that quickly, so she remained timid, not daring to come out.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing did not insist, waiting for her to gradually get better over time.

Hongyue stayed behind temporarily, while Ye Zhangqing alone boarded the immortal vessel and soon disappeared into the horizon.

He rushed straight back to Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng; Ye Zhangqing's sudden return startled Bai Hua Xianzi and the other girls, who thought something had happened.

Facing the girls' worries, Ye Zhangqing smiled and said.

"I have something to discuss with Huang Lao, but it's a good thing."

"As long as it's nothing serious."

They did not press further about what it was; Ye Zhangqing would naturally tell them when he wanted to.

After returning to the Heavenly Family, Ye Zhangqing immediately contacted Huang Lao; during this period, Huang Lao had been together with the Heavenly Family Patriarch.

Anyway, Ye Zhangqing had nothing else to do, so he took some leisure time amidst his busyness.

However, after receiving Ye Zhangqing's message, Huang Lao quickly rushed to the courtyard.

The two sat down in the courtyard; Huang Lao looked at Ye Zhangqing and asked suspiciously.

"What's wrong? You're in such a hurry—did something happen?"

Ye Zhangqing's urgent request to see him made Huang Lao instinctively think something had happened.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing did not conceal anything and immediately informed him of the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree matter.

"Huang Lao, I happened to obtain some news about the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree.................."

"Nine Heavens Treasure Tree? Is the news reliable?"

Upon hearing this, even Huang Lao couldn't help but stare for a moment, his expression turning serious.

Although such a legendary treasure, due to the nature of the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree, is already useless to Huang Lao, its heaven-defying quality cannot be denied.

The most crucial point is that this item is extremely scarce; any legendary treasure possesses uniqueness.

Within the Immortal Realm, there can only be one such tree; a second Nine Heavens Treasure Tree cannot appear.

This is a limitation of world law, which no one can change.

Therefore, when hearing Ye Zhangqing utter the four words 'Nine Heavens Treasure Tree,' Huang Lao was stunned.

This kid, after going out for a while, actually managed to gather news of the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree.

But is this kid reliable?

Facing Huang Lao's inquiry, Ye Zhangqing nodded, indicating the information was absolutely reliable, and then told Huang Lao the location of the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree.

As for Huang Lao, Ye Zhangqing naturally trusted him and was not afraid that, after obtaining the exact location, Huang Lao would appropriate it for himself.

Huang Lao is a lone solitary; having the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree would be useless to him.

Moreover, even if Huang Lao had selfish motives, Ye Zhangqing could not stop him.

Furthermore, after all these years of association, Ye Zhangqing naturally senses Huang Lao's sincere intentions toward him, so there is no suspicion.

Ye Zhangqing spoke frankly, without the slightest concealment; after hearing this, Huang Lao first fell silent for a while, then slowly spoke.

"If the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree is truly as you say, I could personally intervene and obtain it; however, the most crucial matter is what to do after obtaining it."

"For a legendary treasure like the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree, once it appears, even I cannot completely conceal its manifestation; it will inevitably become known to others, and such treasures attract many covetous individuals—even with me present, I cannot guarantee absolute safety."

This is Huang Lao's concern.

If it were an ordinary treasure, with Huang Lao stepping forward, those old fellows might still give him face.

After all, offending an existence like Huang Lao over a mere trinket is not worth it.

But if it were the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree, Huang Lao's face would not be so sure.

By then, those old fellows of the same standing as him would likely not let go easily.

Not to mention far off, just saying the Heavenly Family Patriarch would also be envious.

He himself has no use for it, but Tianlin can; obtaining the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree would allow Tianlin to directly reach Immortal Sovereign Perfection, saving countless years.

Therefore, even Huang Lao feels immense pressure trying to protect the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree.

Indeed, this item is too precious; within the Immortal Realm, only one can exist at a time, leaving no alternative.

Thus, once it appears, it will inevitably provoke a frenzied scramble among many.

And how many can Huang Lao hold off?

Huang Lao's worries, Ye Zhangqing naturally considered as well; at this point he spoke up.

"I plan to divide the fruit of the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree, giving some to Tianlin and Miao Qianqian, enough for them to break through to Immortal Sovereign Perfection."

"That should stabilize the Heavenly Family and the Wushen Palace."

Ye Zhangqing also understood that, having consumed it all at once this time, he would inevitably need to take out a portion to share with others.

However, if the recipients are Tianlin and Miao Qianqian, Ye Zhangqing feels somewhat better about it, after all they are friends.

Give the two enough fruit to reach Immortal Sovereign Perfection; the remainder can be considered for distribution later.

Upon hearing that, Huang Lao silently nodded.

He agrees with Ye Zhangqing's idea, and this is also the best choice.

Since he can't eat it alone, then he can only bleed.

Moreover, as long as we can stabilize the Heavenly Family and the Wushen Palace, then Huang Lao plus Zuo Fu should be able to protect this Nine Heavens Treasure Tree.

After all, without the Heavenly Family and the Wushen Palace, the only ones putting pressure on Huang Lao and them are those two old things, the Ultimate Bliss Palace and the Ten Thousand Stars Island.

Two versus two, Huang Lao and Zuo Fu are naturally unafraid.

Furthermore, with the Heavenly Family and the Wushen Palace having gained benefits, at that time even if they don't directly intervene, they should at least lean toward Huang Lao and them.

By then, as long as the Ten Thousand Stars Island and the Ultimate Bliss Palace are not stubborn, they ought to choose to retreat when faced with difficulty.

However, for now this is merely Ye Zhangqing and their speculation; the specifics still need to be probed.

After thinking, Huang Lao opened his mouth and said.

"This matter, let me first sound out the Heavenly Family's old geezer's tone to see what he means."

"I, the junior, also think the same."

"Hmm, then for now don't leave; wait for my news."

"Okay."

Huang Lao went to seek the Heavenly Family Patriarch, first to feel things out; Ye Zhangqing stayed peacefully within Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng, temporarily not to leave.

After the discussion, Huang Lao left; that Heavenly Family old thing is not easy to deal with, all are old and crafty fellows.

According to Ye Zhangqing's proposed division, he probably won't agree; we'll definitely have to add some other conditions as well.
