Chapter 436: Encountering Black Crystal Again! Finally Obtaining the Undying God Tree!

Compared to other lower planes, the Heavenly Sword Continent is quite special.

In the plane where the Heavenly Sword Continent is located, the vast majority of the area is the ocean, and only the Heavenly Sword Continent stands alone in the center of the ocean.

Due to the special energy of the plane where the Heavenly Sword Continent is located, no creatures can directly absorb it, nor can they practice, until an ancestor-level figure created sword dao, which allowed the creatures on the Heavenly Sword Continent to step into the path of cultivation.

So marine life and the creatures on those islands have always maintained a stable food chain and ecological balance.

After Chu Yang went to sea, he didn't rush to start searching, but dived into the sea, controlled many marine creatures with Soul Force, and sent these marine creatures in all directions.

The energy of this plane is special, but it will not have any impact on him, because the Source Decision can convert all energy into Primordial Qi.

With countless marine creatures as "eyes," the next thing became much easier.

Chu Yang did not let these marine creatures search aimlessly in the sea, but let them be responsible for searching for islands.

Although the Undying God Tree may also appear in the ocean, this probability is negligible.

For half a month, Chu Yang almost didn't stop for a moment.

Constantly relying on the clues fed back by marine creatures, he checked the islands around the Heavenly Sword Continent one by one.

But the final result was nothing, which made him mutter a bit.

Could it be that the Undying God Tree is really in the ocean? In that case, the search area is too large, and the time spent will also increase significantly.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly vaguely found some wrong places.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Chu Yang woke up Pan Gu's spiritual consciousness and said directly, "Count the number of marine creatures I control!"

Pan Gu responded, and after a while, replied, "A total of 135,600 marine creatures, of which 20,000 marine creatures died naturally, and 10,000 marine creatures were hunted by natural enemies."

"There are more than three hundred marine creatures that suddenly disappeared, the specific reason is unknown, it is possible that they were instantly wiped out, or it is possible that they broke away from the soul control."

Chu Yang's eyes narrowed. The number of marine creatures he controlled was too large, so naturally, he couldn't pay attention to the situation of every marine creature at all times.

As Pan Gu said, those non-naturally dead marine creatures that died naturally or were hunted by natural enemies, although Chu Yang could perceive them, he would not care too much about the specific number.

The reason why he felt something was wrong just now was that once the controlled marine creature died, the Soul Force he left in the other party's body would also be extinguished.

But just now, Chu Yang felt a wisp of subtle Soul Force return to his body.

And this wisp of soul is probably from the more than three hundred marine creatures that disappeared for unknown reasons as Pan Gu said.

Thinking of this, Chu Yang decided decisively, "Lock the last position before those marine creatures disappeared!"

Pan Gu soon provided him with a

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Yang stepped through the void, looking down at an island below.

This island was full of vitality, with sturdy, towering trees rising from the ground, any one of which was a hundred meters tall.

One must know that even in the Great Thousand World, where spiritual energy is abundant, such ordinary trees would require a long time to grow to a height of a hundred meters.

Not only that, Chu Yang discovered that the life aura on this island was very rich; usually, this only happens in treasure lands that nurture a large number of heaven-and-earth treasures.

Besides this, there was another anomaly: the marine life! Through the sea surface, one could clearly see that there were large schools of fish gathered in the ocean around the island; they seemed to be attracted by the life aura and were unwilling to leave the area where the island was located.

Most importantly, Chu Yang discovered a nearly hundred-zhang-long... koi fish in that school of fish!?! Chu Yang was stunned for a moment; if this thing appeared in the Great Thousand World or other lower planes, he wouldn't feel the slightest surprise.

But this was the ocean of the Heavenly Sword plane!

Creatures in the ocean cannot cultivate, so even if they possessed powerful recessive bloodlines in their bodies, a koi fish could absolutely not evolve to this extent! Chu Yang's eyes grew brighter and brighter; the more abnormal this place appeared, the more it meant that the Undying God Tree might be right here! His Soul Force swept out, instantly enveloping the entire island.

The next moment, he discovered that his Soul Force was actually bounced back by a strange power within the island.

Although his Soul Force was not damaged by this, it could not advance even an inch.

Narrowing his eyes, Chu Yang's eyes gradually became transparent.

Truth-Breaking!

Scanning the entire island with his gaze, Chu Yang's brows soon furrowed.

No discoveries!

As far as the eye could see, the island was full of towering trees, but these trees were almost indistinguishable from one another, all giving one the feeling that while they were full of vitality, they were essentially unremarkable.

This gave Chu Yang a headache for a moment, because this clone of his only carried a wisp of soul origin, and the soul power he possessed was limited.

If his main body were here in person, he could completely rely on his Soul Force to contend with that strange power, forcibly investigate the situation of the entire island, and find the Undying God Tree.

Yet, he was now almost certain the Undying God Tree was here, but he could not find its specific location.

Just at this moment, Chu Yang suddenly thought of a key question.

That is, why would the Undying God Tree act against its nature and appear in a lower plane?

In the records regarding the Undying God Tree, every time it has appeared in history, it was in the Great Thousand World; this was the first time it had appeared in a lower plane.

Moreover, the Undying God Tree only condenses one Undying God Leaf every thousand years, yet in the original plot, it appeared again after only a few hundred years.

Combining this with the time the Green-Shirt Sword Saint obtained the Undying God Leaf, the Undying God Tree condensed the Undying God Leaf twice in succession, but the interval was not a thousand years long.

In other words, there must be something special here that attracted the Undying God Tree to come.

It is precisely because of this that the Undying God Tree was able to shorten the time to condense the Undying God Leaf!

As for why no one paid attention to this time difference after a few hundred years?

Actually, this is easy to understand, because the Undying God Leaf has limitations; for true top-tier powerhouses, the Undying God Leaf has almost no value.

Those who regard the Undying God Leaf as a supreme treasure, or even a second life, cannot reach the level of the Undying God Tree at all.

To put it bluntly, the strong don't look down on it, and the weak, even if they have ideas, are powerless to do anything.

After all, the Undying God Tree is too mysterious, and for countless years, apart from the Immortal Emperor, no one has been able to obtain any benefits from this ancient tree other than the Undying God Leaf.

No one knows what happened with the Immortal Emperor back then, and if it weren't for Wuming still being around, Chu Yang could only rely on his God's-eye view as a transmigrator to make some guesses.

"Pan Gu, communicate with the Undying God Tree..." Chu Yang narrowed his eyes and handed this task directly to Pan Gu.

Pan Gu began to get busy, while Chu Yang came to the edge of the island, observing the schools of fish with great interest.

These marine creatures all had some recessive bloodlines in their bodies to varying degrees, and now they were all fully stimulated; if they could step onto the path of cultivation, they would all achieve something because of this.

This could absolutely not be achieved by the power of the Undying God Tree alone, otherwise, for countless years, this ancient tree would have long been targeted by powerful figures of various eras.

After a long time, Pan Gu suddenly said, "Master, it wants to see you!"

Chu Yang's eyes brightened slightly, and then, under Pan Gu's guidance, he came to the center of the island. He looked at the ground beneath his feet, feeling slightly surprised.

No wonder he hadn't noticed anything just now; it turned out that this Undying God Tree was actually hiding underground! Raising his hand and punching out, Chu Yang easily blasted through the surface layer of the ground and then leaped into it.

This was an underground rock cavern; the interior of the cavern was extremely spacious, as if the entire island had been hollowed out.

A purple-gold small tree, only nine zhang tall, stood in the center of the cavern.

The Undying God Tree looks like this?

Chu Yang felt a bit surprised, but immediately after, his gaze was attracted by the scene beneath the Undying God Tree.

The God Tree was not rooted in the rock layer; its roots were exposed, and at this moment, those dense roots were intertwined and wrapping around a...

Black irregular crystal!

This crystal gave Chu Yang an extremely familiar feeling! He clearly remembered that when he was in the Douqi Continent, he had once obtained a black crystal.

That black crystal was exactly what the dead fetus of the Douqi Continent's plane spirit had transformed into! However, although the two were extremely similar, they were also somewhat different.

Chu Yang felt a very familiar aura on the black crystal, it seemed like...

The Firmament Ranking! Could this be the dead fetus of the Great Thousand World's world will?

As soon as this thought arose in his heart, Chu Yang couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

This is an impossible thing; if the world will of the Great Thousand World had experienced destruction, it would inevitably have led to a dark Dharma-ending period in the Great Thousand World, and it is impossible for there to be no record of it in the history of the Great Thousand World.

After Chu Yang arrived here, the trunk of the Undying God Tree swayed slightly, emitting an aura of affinity.

Pan Gu translated at the right time, "Master, the Undying God Tree does not refuse your conditions, but it is unwilling to give up the opportunity before it."

"So it wants you to wait for a thousand years..."

Chu Yang twitched the corner of his mouth; he came to find the Undying God Tree just for the Qilin True Spirit, so how could he wait for a thousand years?

Actually, when he saw that black crystal, he had already vaguely understood why the Undying God Tree had run to the Heavenly Sword plane.

Thinking of this, Chu Yang pointed to the black crystal and said softly, "If you continue to obsess over this thing, you will be targeted by the world will sooner or later."

"When that time comes, no one can save you!"

"Let go now, and it will be a win-win for both of us; weigh the pros and cons yourself."

The Undying God Tree has existed for countless years after all, and even if its intelligence is chaotic, it possesses a certain ability for independent thought.

After hearing Chu Yang's words, the Undying God Tree, which had been swaying slightly, suddenly stopped, its branches drooping slightly, as if it were somewhat disappointed.

After a long time, the Undying God Tree trembled slightly, and Pan Gu said, "Master, it is willing to fuse with the Qilin True Spirit!"

Chu Yang nodded, smiling with satisfaction.

He was not surprised by this result; as the saying goes, for such an existence with an extremely long lifespan, the temptation to be able to escape chaos and successfully gather spirits is almost impossible to refuse.

Moreover, apart from this, fusing with the Qilin True Spirit would also allow it to witness the splendor of the All Heavens Myriad Realms, which was also a condition the Undying God Tree could not refuse.

"Then let's go! Let's leave here first!"

Chu Yang waved his hand; he was only a clone now, so naturally, he could not summon the Qilin True Spirit.

The Undying God Tree did not move, and Pan Gu said softly, "Master, it says that once that crystal leaves the Heavenly Sword Continent, it will be discovered by the world will."

As expected!

Chu Yang felt a bit strange in his heart; it turns out the Green-Shirt Sword Saint went to such great lengths to make the Heavenly Sword plane a pure land, only for this Undying God Tree to pick up a bargain.

Clearly, the reason the Undying God Tree came to the Heavenly Sword plane was entirely to rely on the many arrangements of the Green-Shirt Sword Saint to hide here and quietly absorb the power within that black crystal, while avoiding being discovered by the world will.

The methods of the Green-Shirt Sword Saint naturally could not completely circumvent the world will.

But if the Undying God Tree were careful, at least in the short term, it would not be noticed by the world will.

Chu Yang frowned; this was indeed a troublesome matter.

If the black crystal fell into the hands of others, perhaps the world will wouldn't care, but he was different!

He had dealt with the world will more than once and had long since become a key target of attention.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "No matter, I have my own ways!"

Hearing him say this, the Undying God Tree no longer hesitated; its roots reluctantly let go of the black crystal, and then, as if it were a tree-man, it walked straight to Chu Yang's side.

Chu Yang, without hesitation, grabbed the black crystal in one hand, and his main body, far away in the Purgatory Space, quickly opened a Spatial Rift.

Chu Yang raised his hand to grab a branch of the Undying God Tree, and then leaped directly into the Spatial Rift.

…………

Purgatory Space, underground world.

Chu Yang, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes; the Spatial Rift in front of him trembled violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.

After only a few breaths, the clone rushed out with the Undying God Tree.

At the same time, the entire Purgatory Space began to tremble violently, as if the world were about to end; the powerhouses of the Great Thousand World and the Outer Evil Tribe were terrified and fled toward the exit one after another.

Chu Yang, however, had a calm expression, keeping himself out of everything, took the black crystal from his clone's hand, and was quickly enveloped by black mist.

The next moment, Chu Yang's eyes regained clarity, the black crystal in his mouth had long since disappeared, and the trembling of the Purgatory Space suddenly intensified.

The world will descended, but Chu Yang did not change his expression, as if nothing had happened, and directly summoned the Qilin True Spirit, ordering it to begin fusing with the Undying God Tree.

After another quarter of an hour, until the Purgatory Space began to be unable to bear the burden and showed signs of collapse, the world will finally retreated.

It was naturally impossible to completely deceive the world will, but don't forget the uniqueness of the Soul Palace! Chu Yang sent the black crystal directly into the Soul Palace; even if the world will sensed something, it could not discover any clues.

At the same time, he was certain that the world will would not fall out with him over this!

Operating the Spirit-Raising Art, the fusion of the Qilin True Spirit and the Undying God Tree went smoothly, but wanting to gather spirits in one go was not that easy.

In the magma, that Fire Demon King had already shrunk into a corner, shivering, its eyes full of fear as it looked at Chu Yang.

Too terrifying!

The aura just now had almost suppressed and destroyed it alive, but this person remained completely unmoved, which made its dull brain have a rare flash of brilliance, and it decided that it must never be an enemy of this person! (End of chapter)
