Chapter 2343: Such a Supreme Treasure
Tianlin and Miao Qianqian did not come together with the others, because the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree has appeared in the world, and Ye Zhangqing and the others will surely become the focus of this chaos.
At that time, the various powers of the Immortal Realm will surely surge like a tide, all wanting to seize this treasure.
In such a situation, if we go together with Ye Zhangqing and them, isn't that just courting death?
Therefore, the Heavenly Family's elder and Miao Cuihua wisely did not let the two of them go together.
In the void, Huang Lao led Ye Zhangqing and a few others to change direction and continue forward.
As the journey progressed, the surrounding void storms became increasingly violent, their power continually growing.
Even Ye Zhangqing, who possesses the cultivation of an Immortal Venerable, began to gradually feel the pressure.
After an unknown amount of time walking, in the distance Ye Zhangqing seemed to faintly see a piece of land floating in the void.
Although that piece of land is not large, upon it stands a tree of immense size.
The tree's size is truly enormous, beyond imagination; even compared to mountains, it is not lacking.
This Azure Sky Great Tree towers into the clouds, resembling a massive black fortress; its trunk is dark black, as if soaked in ink, yet faintly emits a faint light, giving a mysterious and solemn feeling.
The leaves on its trunk are a stunning pink, like a bashful maiden's face, tender and dewy.
These pink leaves sway gently in the breeze, as if dancing gracefully, exceedingly beautiful.
Beneath the leaves hang golden fruits, each like a radiant pearl, emitting an alluring luster.
The golden fruits, black trunk, and pink leaves complement each other, forming a splendid picture that leaves one in awe.
When Huang Lao saw this giant tree, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he spoke in a low voice.
"Found it, indeed it is the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree."
Although his voice was not loud, the excitement within could not be concealed.
Even Zuo Fu at the rear of the group now showed a look of astonishment and delight, his gaze fixed on the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree as he silently pondered.
"For me, this Nine Heavens Treasure Tree is naturally useless, but for Zuo Jue that lad, it is truly a tremendous opportunity; with this Nine Heavens Treasure Tree, he would be able to directly reach the Ancient Immortal Realm."
Zuo Fu thought of this, and a smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth; he was full of confidence in Zuo Jue's future.
As for whether the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree could be allocated to Zuo Jue, Zuo Fu was not worried at all, after all he is Zuo Jue's father; with him present, the tree will surely have a share for Zuo Jue, so Zuo Jue need not worry himself.
Having finally seen the legendary treasure tree, everyone's hearts were filled with excitement and anticipation, as if the tree had already opened the gate to the immortal realm for them.
As for Zuo Jue, it was even worse; upon seeing the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree for the first time, his whole body seemed to be struck by a paralysis spell, completely frozen.
Although he was still far from the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree at that moment, the immense aura and pressure emanating from it were like a surging torrent, instantly overwhelming him.
This Nine Heavens Treasure Tree is like a towering giant tree that reaches the heavens and stands firm on the earth, its crown piercing the clouds as if it could support the entire universe.
Its thick trunk would require dozens of people to encircle, and its branches and leaves are lush like a green ocean; when the breeze passes, they rustle, as if recounting its long history and endless mystery.
"My goodness, this is the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree, indeed a legendary treasure."
Zuo Jue could not help but exclaim in astonishment.
Although he has seen quite a bit of the world and encountered many treasures, none of those treasures could compare to the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree before him.
The gap between them is simply a chasm of clouds and mud; they are not even on the same level.
However, before Zuo Jue could have more time to sigh, Huang Lao beside him suddenly spoke, interrupting his thoughts.
"Now is not the time for sighs; first we must take this treasure tree, then there will be plenty of time to marvel. Let's go."
Although Huang Lao's voice was not loud, it carried an undeniable authority.
Having said that, Huang Lao took the lead, stepping toward the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree; the others followed suit.
Although the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree seemed within reach, they walked for nearly a quarter of an hour yet still had not reached its base.
However, as the distance gradually shortened, the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree became increasingly clear and real in their sight.
Zuo Jue could not help but lament.
"This truly fits the saying 'seeing the mountain runs the horse to death'."
They have walked for so long, yet the treasure tree seems unattainable, as if it is right before their eyes yet they cannot reach it.
After another arduous quarter‑hour trek, finally several people stepped onto what appeared to be a piece of land.
But when they truly stood beneath the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree, they suddenly realized that this was not land at all, but a network woven from the tree's roots.
These roots are intricately intertwined; from afar they resemble a vast expanse of land.
Standing beneath the ancient Nine Heavens Tree, everyone for the first time truly felt that immense pressure.
Each leaf of this ancient tree is as huge as a star, and compared to this colossal being, humans appear utterly insignificant.
Both leaves and fruits emit a faint glow, splendid and magnificent, intoxicating to behold.
More astonishingly, the void storms that had been raging around them have now vanished without a trace.
It seems as if the ancient Nine Heavens Tree has isolated them; they cannot approach even half a step, only able to howl in the distance, yet they have no effect here.
All four raised their heads, gazing at the legendary Nine Heavens Treasure Tree before them, each becoming entranced.
In their hearts they could not help but marvel, that such a supreme treasure exists in the world; no wonder whenever a legendary treasure manifests, it causes a great upheaval for the Immortal Realm.
After all, when such a treasure is present, who could remain calm? Even if they know the odds are slim, people will still strive to contend for it.
Faced with such a supreme treasure, it is hard for anyone to remain calm; it is too difficult, too difficult.
After standing dazed beneath the tree for a long while, Huang Lao and Zuo Fu were the first to regain their senses; they glanced at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.
Now one can imagine that when this Nine Heavens Treasure Tree emerges, they will have to face tremendous pressure.
This truly is an object capable of driving everyone mad; and the more extraordinary the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree is, the greater the pressure on Huang Lao and Zuo Fu.
