Chapter 2885

In the Immortal Realm, everyone knows that Beyond the Heavens is full of opportunities; once one reaches a certain cultivation level, if they still aspire and wish to advance further, the best choice is to go to Beyond the Heavens and give it their all.

But only after truly going to Beyond the Heavens does one know that, although Beyond the Heavens is full of opportunities, to obtain them you must fight with your life, snatch, and strive.

With the same cultivation, in the Immortal Realm perhaps you could settle in a corner, enjoy life with your descendants; even if progress is hard, at least you can live carefree.

But in Beyond the Heavens, it is completely different.

Beyond the Heavens is vast, but the territory occupied by the Human Race is only that large; adding the many extraterrestrial races of Beyond the Heavens, including the newly contacted innate races, it is fraught with danger.

Compared to those immortal races of the Immortal Realm, these immortal races of the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens are more like struggling to survive in the cracks.

First, the population of the clan is inherently limited; its scale cannot compare to those immortal races in the Immortal Realm.

Second, the development of the entire family is even harder than ascending to heaven.

The simplest path is that someone in the family joins the Heavenly Palace, survives, and can climb step by step.

Otherwise, one can only risk their life.

Therefore, facing this opportunity before him, although the old man understood everything in his heart, he could not refuse; he wanted to contend and had to contend.

Watching the old man step out of the crowd, no one present stopped him.

The old man also had no nonsense; he strode straight into Yuàn zhōng, not even glancing at the Heavenly Palace's heavenly officials, knowing they would not stop him.

As the old man entered the courtyard, everyone's gaze was fixed on him, including many heavenly officials.

As the old man entered Yuàn zhōng, those several Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts showed no movement.

"No attack?"

Seeing this, a heavenly official's eyes lit up; since there was no immediate attack, it proved that the hostility of these few tree ghosts was not great, at least entering Yuàn zhōng should be safe.

However, they did not act rashly, but continued to watch what followed.

Not being instantly killed in the first moment, the old man couldn't help but sigh in relief, then raised his head to look at those several tree ghosts in Yuàn zhōng.

He naturally could not tell the strength of these tree ghosts, nor did he know that these few tree ghosts were the strongest in the entire Black Mist Forest, even the Dao One Immortal Sect's people could not subdue them.

After looking him up and down, the old man then deeply kowtowed and said.

"Tree God above, please accept this old man's bow; I earnestly pray the Tree God blesses my clan, my clan up and down is willing to generationally worship the Tree God…………………"

They dared not say the two words "tree pet", but used the term "worship", treating these several tree ghosts as deities.

However, the old man's attitude was normal, after all, having strength comparable to the Heavenly Palace's Palace Master, how could just anyone subdue him?

Rather than saying subdue, worshiping offers a greater chance.

However, facing the old man's words, these several tree ghosts had no intention of paying attention, still showing no movement, basically too lazy to bother.

The old man muttered a lot, but these several tree ghosts remained completely unresponsive.

This approach clearly wouldn't work, and the old man had no other ideas in his heart.

He had just tried every possible means to communicate with these several tree ghosts.

After all, whether treating them as deities to worship or as tree pets, the first step is certainly to figure out how to communicate.

Only after communicating can one know the other's needs and then prescribe the right remedy.

But the problem is that the old man exhausted all his efforts, yet could not establish even the slightest connection with these tree ghosts.

This made the old man somewhat anxious.

Completely ignored, at this point if the old man obediently gave up, he would face no danger; quietly withdrawing from the courtyard would be enough.

But having already prepared to fight with his life, in the end he gained nothing, and the old man was unwilling.

Filled with resentment, the old man did something that made everyone go crazy.

Seeing these several tree ghosts completely ignoring him, the old man stood up, his gaze turning to the nearest tree ghost.

Then, with a fierce punch he blasted out, directly striking the trunk of that tree ghost.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Family's forefather was dumbfounded, Miao Cuihua was dumbfounded, and the Heavenly Palace's heavenly officials were dumbfounded.

Who is this person? So brave? He dares to attack the Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts—does he wish for a longer life?

You know, even they, when facing these several tree ghosts, tremble deep down; otherwise they wouldn't even dare to enter the courtyard.

Moreover, they needed others to come test.

Yet this old man, upon a disagreement, lashed out—what boldness! He also shouted loudly.

"Please, Tree God, answer me."

His strike was fierce, but his tone was extremely respectful; however, for this tree ghost, a respectful tone is useless.

The next second, only saw a tree branch lightly lash out, and immediately the old man was instantly blown apart on the spot.

Before everyone's eyes, he turned into a cloud of blood mist, leaving no corpse or bones, his spirit completely undetectable; clearly, under this blow, both body and spirit were annihilated.

"This…………………"

Watching the old man so easily be whipped to death by a tree branch, those who had been eager to try suddenly felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them from head to toe.

This is completely not on the same level; it feels as easy as swatting a fly.

Although the opportunity is good, can such an opportunity really be grasped by them?

More than half of the people immediately chose to give up, weighing themselves clearly, knowing that such an opportunity was no longer something they could meddle with.

Just as everyone stood stunned and silent, a wail rose from the crowd; we saw a young man and a girl weeping bitterly.

Grandfather..........

Obviously they are the descendants of that old man just now; the two youths, one male and one female, were crying in extreme grief.

But at this moment, no one paid them any mind; the heavenly officials of the Heavenly Palace, the elders of the Heavenly Family, and Miao Cuihua and the others furrowed their brows, not knowing what they were thinking, while everyone else wore indifferent expressions.

Did they completely ignore them?

How bleak the hope is!

Everyone couldn't help but sigh inwardly; in such a situation, how could we subdue these few tree ghosts? Just how did the people of the Dao One Immortal Sect manage it?

Everyone wanted to go directly ask the people of the Dao One Immortal Sect, but it was likely they would get no answer, and besides, they dared not use force.

But watching the opportunity placed right before their eyes, they let everyone just give it up like that—yet they were unwilling.

This is a Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts—even if you obtained just one stalk, even if you placed it inside the Heavenly Palace, it could serve as a foundation.

Previously, saying they could rival the Palace Master was already an understatement; anyway, Zhao Tianqing and Tianhe themselves wouldn't dare say they could contend with these Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts.

The more this happened, the more unwilling everyone became.

And just then, Xu Jie appeared with Liu Shuang, Lu Youyou, and Zhao Zhengping.

"Everyone, listen to a junior's word: just give up."
