Chapter 1481: Ten Branches of the World Tree (First update, requesting all)

Not long after, the Three Emperors and the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas returned together, their gazes fixed with burning intensity upon the void ahead.

That was the entrance to the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm!

"How did it go?"

"Aside from the Thunder Emperor, we did not encounter the Human Emperor or the Blood Emperor, nor do we know where they have gone, or if they have already descended to the lower realms. However, before leaving the habitat of the Ten Great Tribes, we left behind some emergency measures."

Hearing Wendi say this, Li Zhangsheng felt much more at ease, though his heart remained full of vigilance; he decided to reorganize the Heavenly Realm as soon as possible, temporarily leaving only the South Heaven Gate as a portal to prevent the Human Emperor and the others from sneaking in.

"Everyone, get ready; it is time for us to open the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm!"

After finishing his sentence, Li Zhangsheng took a token from his bosom; this token came from the Heavenly Emperor's Space Ring and was the Control Token for the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm.

After inputting sufficient Mental Power, the token buzzed and vibrated, immediately shooting out a ray of light that instantly landed on the void before them.

The next moment, a portal fully several dozen meters high emerged.

"Let's go in!"

Li Zhangsheng did not lower his guard; with the Sun Moon Star Chart, the River Map and Luo Scroll, and the Universe Cauldron hovering above his head, and stepping on the Twelve-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform, several layers of light curtains appeared on his body as he stepped into the portal.

Wendi and the others followed closely behind, stepping into the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm.

Amidst a bout of dizziness, Li Zhangsheng and the others appeared one after another in a spacious and bright Secret Realm.

Even though over ten thousand years had passed, the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm was still a Grotto-Heaven, and its energy was exceptionally abundant.

According to common logic, having been untended for so many years, the area of the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm should not be this large.

"There must be Superior Quality Top-Grade Spiritual Roots, and more than just one!"

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself; he had briefly reviewed the resources of the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm from the Heavenly Emperor Inheritance, so he naturally understood it better than anyone else present.

The Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm consisted of nine landmasses separated by oceans; they were not connected, and the land and oceans each occupied half the area.

Whether it was the nine landmasses or the oceans, each had its own mysteries and possessed many Top-Grade Spiritual Roots.

As the Lord of the Heavenly Realm and the only big shot in history to possess the qualifications for Dao Integration, the number of Top-Grade Spiritual Roots the Heavenly Emperor possessed could be called the best in the world, definitely exceeding two digits.

"Follow me!"

Li Zhangsheng took the lead and flew toward the nearest landmass, with Wendi and the others following behind, curiously observing the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm.

In the span of a few breaths, the group hovered in the center of this continent, looking down at the scene below.

This landmass was quite barren, with a large patch of thunderclouds floating above it; lightning struck down from time to time, causing the area to be filled with rich Thunder Attribute energy.

In the central area of the land stood a bare, giant purple tree, nearly a thousand meters tall, flashing with purple thunder from time to time and containing astonishing Thunder Attribute energy.

"Purple Heaven Thunder Wood!"

The Purple Heaven Thunder Wood was one of the Ten Branches of the World Tree and belonged to the Low-Grade Top-Tier Spirit Root; it did not bear fruit, but its branches and wood were excellent Thunder Attribute materials.

There was only this one Top-Grade Spiritual Root here, the Purple Heaven Thunder Wood; besides this, a large number of Thunder Attribute Spirit Roots were planted, the value of which was immeasurable.

The group did not take the Purple Heaven Thunder Wood, and as for the other Spirit Roots, they did not catch their eyes; they would use them as gifts when making choices later.

Not long after, the group arrived at the second continent.

The second continent was still relatively barren, planted with a large number of Gold Element Spirit Roots, headed by the Geng Metal Bodhi Tree, which was also one of the Ten Branches of the World Tree.

The third continent was the Fire continent, planted with Fire Element Spirit Roots, headed by the Red Fire Dragon Scale Tree, also one of the Ten Branches of the World Tree.

The fourth was the Earth continent... headed by the Xuanhuang Linglong Fruit Tree.

The fifth was the Ice continent... headed by the Snow Soul Ice Crystal Tree.

The sixth was the Wind continent... headed by the Nine Heavens Xun Wind Tree.

The seventh was the Light continent... headed by the Sacred Heaven Tree.

The eighth was the Darkness continent... headed by the Dark Purgatory Tree.

Each of these eight continents had one of the Ten Branches of the World Tree; truly worthy of being the Lord of the Heavenly Realm, he was indeed wealthy and imposing.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng led the group to fly toward the ninth continent.

This was also the landmass located in the very center, with an area reaching 1/3 of the total land area; it was the true core continent and also the most essential part of the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm.

The scene on the central continent was quite comfortable; one could see three suns hanging in the sky.

If one looked carefully, one would find that two of the suns were illusory and relatively close to the land; one could faintly see that there was something unusual within these two suns, likely the image of two birds with their wings folded.

"Three-Legged Golden Crow!"

With just a single glance, Li Zhangsheng identified the truth of these two 'suns'.

From the feedback of his Mental Power, these two Three-Legged Golden Crows had no response at all; they had clearly perished, likely falling during the Heaven and Earth Hegemony.

Li Zhangsheng mobilized the Secret Realm Token, and the corpses of the two Three-Legged Golden Crows fell from the sky.

Both of these Three-Legged Golden Crows were huge, clearly exceeding the Demon Emperor Level Three-Legged Golden Crow that Li Zhangsheng could transform into.

Li Zhangsheng, who possessed the Heavenly Emperor Inheritance, knew very well that these two Three-Legged Golden Crows were both Emperor Rank Demon Pets.

One of the Three-Legged Golden Crows was even the Heavenly Emperor's Life-Bound Demon Pet, which could be seen from the mark on its forehead; there was a huge penetrating wound on its abdomen, and its head was sunken in, which were its two fatal wounds.

The other Three-Legged Golden Crow looked as if it had been almost split in half by a sharp blade, killed in a single strike.

"I will keep them for now and take stock later!"

Li Zhangsheng waved his hand, putting the corpses of the two Three-Legged Golden Crows into his own Secret Realm, then led the group to land in the central area of the central continent.

On the way, Li Zhangsheng and the others discovered several more Demon Emperor Level corpses, basically all of whom had died in battle.

In addition to his Life-Bound and main Demon Pets, the Heavenly Emperor also had many temporary Demon Emperor Level Demon Pets.

Unfortunately, the Xuan Emperor and Xuan Empress had the help of the Phoenix Clan and Qilin Clan, which not only offset the numerical advantage but even surpassed it; this was one of the reasons for the Heavenly Emperor's defeat.

On this central continent, Li Zhangsheng saw ten Energy Pools, each corresponding to one of the ten attributes, and their area far exceeded the Energy Pool obtained from the Hundred Victories King; they could receive energy from various major energy planes at all times, ensuring the lower limit of the Secret Realm's energy.

Of course, this was not the main point.

In the central area, there was a very large Medicine Garden; although it had become quite barren due to lack of care, the number of Spirit Roots was still very considerable, far exceeding the other eight continents.

In the center of the Medicine Garden stood several Spirit Roots of different forms, every one of which was a Top-Grade Spiritual Root.

From the feedback of his Mental Power, there were one Superior Quality, two Mid-grade, and four Low-Grade Top-Tier Spirit Roots, the value of which far exceeded the sum of the other eight continents.

Among them, the two Mid-Grade Top-Grade Spirit Roots naturally included the Tree of Life, one of the Ten Branches of the World Tree, but everyone present had their eyes fixed on that Superior Quality Top-Grade Spirit Root.
