Chapter 220: Mortal Kingdom

Mentioning this divine tree, Long Dan's eyes became brighter and brighter, showing excitement, and finally said: "Do you know the three great divine woods, four great divine bamboos, five great spirit ginsengs, six great divine Spiritual Wisdom, seven great divine lotuses, eight great divine flowers, nine great divine herbs, and ten great divine trees of heaven and earth?"

Hearing this, Long Xuan was the first to be stunned, showing a thoughtful expression.

The three great divine woods, four great divine bamboos, five great spirit ginsengs, six great divine Spiritual Wisdom, seven great divine lotuses, eight great divine flowers, nine great divine herbs, and ten great divine trees—he certainly knew what they were, and he had even seen them. He had them in his hands right now.

The above-mentioned divine objects are all heaven-defying existences that surpass Heaven Grade spirit herbs, and each has a terrifying ability close to the rules.

Moreover, they are unique in heaven and earth. Each type will only be born once in the world at the same time. Once destroyed, they will refresh randomly in the world, and their lifespan is infinite.

And the Soul Nourishing Wood is one of the three great divine woods. He is simply too familiar with it.

So when Long Dan said it, he reacted for the first time. That divine tree in the Black Wind Kingdom is probably one of the ten great divine trees of heaven and earth.

He was immediately excited in his heart. What he likes most is tree-type spirit herbs. Not only does he like them, but the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm, Medicine Gu, and the rabbit all like them.

A heaven-defying spirit herb that surpasses Heaven Grade spirit herbs—I'm afraid no one can remain calm in front of this treasure, right?

Seeing that everyone showed a blank expression, Long Dan sighed: "There are too few people who have seen things that are unique in heaven and earth, and there are even fewer records in books."

"Don't say you can't recognize it, even all the Gu Cultivators in the Black Wind Kingdom can't recognize it either, otherwise how would we have a chance."

"I won't sell it anymore. That divine tree in the Black Wind Kingdom is the Heaven Mending Tree, ranked tenth among the ten great divine trees of heaven and earth."

"The Heaven Mending Tree is truly too rare. There can only be one in the whole world at the same time, so very few people can research pill formulas related to the Heaven Mending Tree."

"However, even if you eat the fruit on the Heaven Mending Tree raw, you can unconditionally improve your aptitude by one grade, and it is improving your aptitude by one grade without changing your attributes, which also applies to Heaven Grade geniuses."

As soon as Long Dan said this, the whole room was filled with the sound of rapid breathing. Everyone's eyes turned red, and some even stood up, looking crazy, showing a greedy look to the extreme.

A heaven-defying object that can improve aptitude—they had simply never heard of it.

At this time, everyone in the room was crazy. In front of this treasure, no one could remain calm.

Even Long Xuan's mood at this time was not calm. You must know that he was definitely not a genius in the strict sense. His aptitude was very ordinary, which could be said to be a good-for-nothing. He was the one who needed treasures to improve aptitude the most.

Especially improving aptitude without changing the Five Elements attributes, the temptation for him was even greater.

Just eating the Heaven Mending Fruit raw can unconditionally improve aptitude by one grade. What if you research a pill formula with the Heaven Mending Fruit as the main material? How much aptitude would that pill improve?

As soon as this idea popped up, Long Xuan could no longer remain calm.

This temptation was truly too fatal for him. How could he withstand such a great temptation?

After Bai Youran's eyes were red for a while, he was the first to recover his reason and hurriedly shouted: "That's not right, you would think of us with such a heaven-defying treasure? Are you sure you didn't hide anything from us?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone instantly recovered their reason and looked at Long Dan with calm eyes, waiting for his follow-up.

That's right, Long Dan was actually willing to let a group of outsiders participate in sharing such a heaven-defying treasure. This was a bit too generous. Couldn't he call all the people from the Long Clan? This was absolutely not normal.

Long Dan smiled self-deprecatingly and said helplessly: "The reason I said it before, this is the news revealed to me by Qin Tian, whom I killed, before he died."

"Didn't you suspect that this might be a trap he set for me before he died?"

Hearing this, everyone was silent, showing a thoughtful expression. That's right, Long Dan's worry was not impossible.

It is too normal for someone to want to trap the enemy who killed them before they die and set up a trap.

In this situation, who can guarantee that the news revealed by Qin Tian is 100% true? No one dares to be sure.

Everyone now understood Long Dan's meaning.

It is just that the truth of this news is difficult to distinguish, and the risk of rashly going to snatch the Heaven Mending Tree is truly too great.

If all the people from the Long Clan were called, then if it was discovered that this was truly a trap, the number of Essence Refining Stage experts from the Long Clan who would die would be too many, enough to cause the Long Clan to suffer heavy damage.

So Long Dan wanted to transfer the risk, let the geniuses of various clans in the Western Lands contribute, share the benefits together, and if there was danger, bear it together.

A group of geniuses in the private room looked at each other, all showing tangled expressions, their expressions changing back and forth.

This was truly a difficult multiple-choice question. If you choose correctly, your aptitude will be improved by one grade. If you choose incorrectly, you will lose your life directly.

People die for wealth, birds die for food. People often die from greed. Everyone understands this truth, but they simply cannot suppress the temptation in their hearts.

The room was silent for a long time, so quiet that only the rapid breathing of the crowd could be heard. After a long while, Lei Shun said with a ferocious face: "I need more detailed information."

"For example, what kind of country is the Black Wind Kingdom, where is it located? Why have I never heard of it."

"And what is the defensive power there? What is our winning percentage? You should explain it clearly, right?"

"And, whether there is truly a Heaven Mending Tree there, you must confirm this news!"

Long Dan soon said: "It's a big matter concerning my own life, how could I not investigate it clearly, how could I not make full preparations?"

"I have already investigated it clearly. The Black Wind Kingdom is a mortal kingdom controlled by the Great Yin Dynasty, and it is unremarkable. It's just that it is very, very far from our current location."

"To tell you the truth, if we walk there, it's impossible to arrive at that place without a few years."

"However, my Extreme Gu has added a quota for breaking the limit some time ago, and I have already given this quota to the Straw Gu."

Long Dan's mouth curled up, slowly revealing a look of pride.

"Under the influence of spatial turbulence, normal Straw Gu cannot use teleportation capabilities anymore, except for my Straw Gu that has already broken the limit."

"However, given that my Straw Gu has only undergone metamorphosis once, it can only complete the teleportation of Essence Refining Stage Gu Cultivators."

"I had already arranged one of the Straw Gu Huts in the Imperial City of the Black Wind Kingdom before the Great Yin Dynasty detonated the Realm Bead. We can teleport directly there at any time now."

"After we kill all the defensive forces guarding the Imperial City and snatch the Heaven Mending Tree, we can teleport back on the same day, doing it without anyone knowing."

A flash of light flashed in Long Dan's eyes.

At this time, Long Xuan interrupted and asked: "I have never understood mortal kingdoms. Can you introduce mortal kingdoms to me? What power do mortal kingdoms have? Could they threaten Essence Refining Peak Gu Cultivators?"

After Long Dan looked at him, he patiently explained: "As everyone knows, the heaven and earth spiritual power in this world is unevenly distributed."

"And places where the heaven and earth spiritual power is most sparse cannot be cultivated at all."

"So that barren land has no Gu Cultivators, no spirit beasts, and without spirit beast meat, naturally there will be no body cultivators."

"So in regions where there is almost no spiritual power, one mortal kingdom after another was formed. In mortal kingdoms, one cannot cultivate, so almost everyone there is a mortal."

"Remember, I said almost. Gu Cultivators cannot cultivate there, but it doesn't mean there are none at all."

"There are many Gu Cultivators in this world who cannot mix well and have completely given up the path of the strong, so they walk into the mortal world to covet enjoyment and become offerings in the hands of those mortal nobles."

"Gu Cultivators who cannot mix well in the Gu World are almost all scum with a combat power of five, belonging to the weakest existence, bullied by others."

"But in the Gu World they are scum, but in the mortal world they are gods, so they are addicted to the glory and wealth of the mortal world and have completely become running dogs in the hands of mortal power holders, losing the dignity of a strong person."

Long Dan showed a look of disdain and continued: "So the few I said is a matter of proportion. The Gu Cultivators and body cultivators in the Imperial City of the Black Wind Kingdom are very numerous."

"After all, it is the Imperial City. If you throw a brick, you can hit a noble. Every noble raises some guards. The total number of Gu Cultivators and body cultivators in the entire Imperial City is a huge number."

"The quantity is enough to be a hundred times our number."

"You don't need to be anxious, listen to me finish first." Long Dan used his hand to stop several geniuses who wanted to speak and continued: "I went there once through the Straw Gu Hut today."

"Because of this war, the major vassal states of the Great Yin Dynasty have sent people to support, so the Black Wind Kingdom is currently in a state of empty troops, and the defensive power of the Imperial Palace is very weak."

"No matter what level of Gu Cultivators are there, they can't hide from my eyes."

"Under my probing, there is only one Spirit Sea Late Stage Gu Cultivator in the entire Imperial City, but this person's temperament is not like a Gu Cultivator of a mortal kingdom. He is currently staying in an inn far from the Imperial Palace with a teenager. It is very likely that he is passing by."

"And according to the rules, high-realm people cannot attack low-realm people. This rule restricts us, but isn't it also restricting them?"

"Not to mention that that Spirit Sea Late Stage Gu Cultivator is not a person of the Imperial Family, and it is highly probable that he will not meddle in other people's business. Even if he has old ties with the Imperial Family, he can only watch from the sidelines. This is the rule of this war, so this person can basically be ignored."

"And there are about a hundred Gu Cultivators and body cultivators in the Imperial Palace, but I said that Gu Cultivators who can give up their dignity to be dogs for mortals are all waste who cannot mix in the Gu World, and their combat power is terrible. It is enough for our dozens of people to sweep through them."

"However, there are 200,000 Forbidden Army outside the Imperial Palace, as well as nearly 10,000 body cultivators and Gu Cultivators raised by major nobles."

"This force is truly too huge, enough to surround us to death."

"So I prepared the array disk of the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Great Formation for this."

"This formation was accidentally obtained by my clan from a powerful female thief when they were besieging her with other clans."

"This formation is terrifyingly incomparable. It can completely cover the Imperial Palace and can completely isolate the fighting sounds inside, without being noticed by anyone."

"Even if it is accidentally noticed, it doesn't matter. The defensive power of this formation is truly too terrifying, and the more people who die in the formation, the stronger the defensive power."

"It is no exaggeration to say that this formation is enough to withstand the attacks of 10,000 Gu Cultivators plus that Spirit Sea Late Stage Gu Cultivator."

"However, the evil thing about this formation is that the energy used is human souls. Even if we kill everyone in the Imperial Palace, it is already the limit for this formation to withstand for half an hour for us."

"So our action time is only half an hour. We must kill all the defensive forces in the Imperial Palace within half an hour, find the Heaven Mending Tree in the Imperial Garden, divide the Heaven Mending Fruits, and evacuate in time through the Straw Gu Hut."

"This is my plan. If you feel anything is inappropriate, you can supplement it now."

Long Dan finished speaking in one breath, took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, and looked at the geniuses of various clans below with burning eyes.
