Chapter 460: Fragment of the World Tree, Finally I See You!

Fang Yu's gaze shifted to the piece of wood ahead; even though his Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Art had now been cultivated to the Great Perfection realm, he still could not sense any wood Qi within it.

In an instant, Fang Yu's expression shifted, and he knew exactly what this piece of wood was.

A fragment of the World Tree!

"A fragment of the World Tree…"

Fang Yu knew that in the past, on the Xuanhuang Great World, there grew a World Tree—a sapling that had been spewed out by the Yongshengzhi Sect and grown into an invincible, terrifying existence. That World Tree could draw upon the boundless Xu Yuan Qi of all the myriad heavens and worlds; with the slightest movement it could bring countless immortal spirit Qi and primordial Qi to the entire Xuanhuang Great World. This was also the reason why, in the primordial era, the Xuanhuang Great World could rival the Immortal Realm.

But later, the great powers of the God Race took action and personally chopped down the World Tree. The World Tree was shattered into pieces; its main trunk was seized by the God Race, while the other fragments scattered across the myriad heavens and worlds.

Because the Xuanhuang Great World lost the World Tree, it could no longer draw Xu Yuan Qi from the myriad heavens and worlds, and gradually reached its present state, sliding toward decline.

And now Fang Yu had encountered a fragment of the World Tree here.

Even as a fragment, it was still an unimaginable supreme treasure; this tiny piece of the World Tree was far more precious than any mid-grade Dao artifact Fang Yu had obtained.

It was only a pity that the fragment of the World Tree capable of taking root and sprouting had already been obtained by Fang Han.

"This is a nameless divine wood; even treasure artifacts cannot cleave it, true fire cannot burn it, and water cannot soak into it. It is a top-grade treasure of heaven and earth. The opening bid is one hundred thousand White Yang Pills."

At that moment, the auctioneer spoke in a bleak, desolate voice. "This piece of divine wood was found by an expert in the Ruins Land. It may be a fragment of a primordial Dao artifact, or perhaps some other treasure. If it can be refined, it can greatly increase one's strength."

"This is—!"

Beside Fang Yu, Fang Han's eyes went blank, his heart pounding violently, his entire body's blood boiling over.

Fang Yu could clearly sense that at this moment, his junior brother Fang Han had failed to control his emotions; the pounding of his heart betrayed his thoughts.

Thinking about it, this was only natural.

A World Tree fragment the height of a person.

If it could be combined with the World Tree sapling, to what heights could that sapling develop?

Now Fang Han was already able to refine large quantities of Nascent Soul Pills, relying on the World Tree's ability to absorb Xu Yuan Qi from the Immortal Realm. If his World Tree sapling merged with this World Tree fragment, the quantity of Nascent Soul Pills he could refine in the future would increase dramatically—this was an unimaginable fortune.

"This ancient wood does look rather wondrous. I am quite interested in studying it. Any ancient wood that my Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Art cannot control must have quite an origin."

At that moment, Fang Yu thought for a moment, then spoke.

The moment these words left his mouth, Fang Han's face showed a stunned expression, as if he had not expected his senior brother Fang Yu to also be interested in this piece of divine wood.

In terms of wealth, he really might not be a match for his senior brother Fang Yu, yet this ancient wood was something he absolutely had to compete for.

He absolutely could not give it up.

On Fang Han's face, a tangled, conflicted emotion appeared.

"What, junior brother Fang Han, you're also interested in this ancient wood? Then let's buy it first, and study it carefully later. If you truly need it, your elder brother can give it to you."

Fang Yu's gaze turned toward Fang Han as he spoke.

He was asking deliberately, knowing the answer.

"Ah, thank you, senior brother. This piece of ancient wood, I truly do need it very much."

Fang Han hesitated briefly, then spoke.

"Oh? Could it be that junior brother Fang Han has recognized its origins? With your elder brother's current knowledge, I don't know it too clearly either, but ancient wood in heaven and earth that my Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Art cannot control is exceedingly rare—it must be a supreme treasure."

Fang Yu spoke directly to Fang Han through transmitted voice.

"I won't hide it from senior brother. I once obtained a fragment of this kind of divine wood, and it is precisely because of this divine wood fragment that I have been able to refine large quantities of Nascent Soul Pills, so this piece of divine wood is extremely important to me. If I obtain this piece of divine wood, my ability to refine Nascent Soul Pills will be greatly enhanced, and at that time I will certainly not forget senior brother's kindness."

Fang Han hesitated for a moment, then told his senior brother Fang Yu a few more things.

"Since that is the case, then I shall lend junior brother Fang Han a helping hand. The fact that you can refine large quantities of Nascent Soul Pills—I had long suspected you must possess a supreme treasure capable of absorbing Xu Yuan Qi from the Immortal Realm; otherwise, even the cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice—how could so many Nascent Soul Pills simply appear from thin air? However, that is your own opportunity; even though I now know, I will not seize it. Just like this Yellow Spring Diagram, your elder brother will not seize it either; your elder brother naturally has his own opportunities."

Fang Yu said with a smile.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Listening to Fang Yu's words, a warm current rose in Fang Han's heart. Among the people he knew, the Zhang Sect Supreme was truly possessed of a benevolent bearing, and his senior brother Fang Yu also possessed a benevolent bearing, treating him extremely well.
