Chapter 481: Entering the Undying Divine Tree Space

This old courtyard that Gu Xing had been guarding was mottled with traces of time, and the layout was very simple; it was just a one-entry courtyard.

Hua Changxi's fingertips slid across the wall, her toes stepped carefully on every inch of the ground, and her gaze was like a ruler, measuring every corner inch by inch.

Unfortunately, after circling the courtyard several times, she gained nothing.

Gu Xing watched silently from the sidelines, not blocking Hua Changxi's behavior in the slightest.

He had long been accustomed to this kind of investigation—before Hua Changxi, countless people had come in to investigate, and some people without awe had even tried to find secrets by tearing down walls and destroying houses.

He originally thought that Hua Changxi would also leave in disappointment like those before her. Who would have thought that she would walk straight to the courtyard gate, reach out to hold the door, and close the gate with force.

"What are you doing?"

Gu Xing could no longer stay calm, looking at Hua Changxi with surprise and doubt.

You know, ever since Hua Changxi pushed open the gate of the old courtyard at the beginning, this door had never been closed again.

Hua Changxi crossed her arms, looked at Gu Xing, and thought for a while before speaking: "I actually wanted to lock you outside the courtyard too, but you are a senior after all, and you have been guarding this courtyard, so doing that seems a bit disrespectful to the old."

Mainly, if she really found that this old courtyard connected to the Divine Tree space, she couldn't drive Gu Xing out every time she entered and exited in the future.

In this way, it was better to let him know from the beginning.

Gu Xing looked at her, his brows full of doubt: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Hua Changxi: "I want to verify an idea of mine in the courtyard." As she said this, her expression became solemn, and she looked at Gu Xing seriously, "Senior Gu, no matter what you see me do later, please don't leak it out."

Gu Xing remained silent, just staring at her deeply.

Hua Changxi knew that this person was tight-lipped, so she took it as his tacit approval. In an instant, her right hand flipped, and the seven-colored exotic fire jumped out of thin air.

The temperature of the originally cold old courtyard soared instantly, with rolling heat waves.

Immediately after, the seven-colored flames intertwined and fused madly, finally turning into a dazzling "Great Sun Divine Flame."

Around the Divine Flame, there was a chain of light condensed from the "Crack" character runes, circulating endlessly.

The heat wave rose again, and the air seemed to be about to be ignited.

Under Gu Xing's astonished and wide-eyed gaze, Hua Changxi held this mass of "scorching sun" and walked through the courtyard again.

She wanted to use the "Great Sun Divine Flame" to explore whether there was a space crack in the old courtyard.

The Great Sun Divine Flame was like a divine lamp reaching the sky, ruthlessly sweeping across every inch of the void.

When she walked to a wall, the divine flame in her palm suddenly swayed violently.

Hua Changxi stopped abruptly, focused her eyes on the wall, and soon, an almost imperceptible trace appeared in her line of sight.

That was not an ordinary crack, but a gap as thin as a thread but straight as a line.

Before this, she had seen countless space cracks, most of which were hideous and twisted, spreading like spider webs. This was the first time she had seen a crack so regular like a knife cut and as smooth as a mirror polish.

This crack was too straight, perfect not like natural, but rather like...

Hua Changxi's brows furrowed, her thoughts flying. Her gaze inadvertently swept over the courtyard gate facing the wall, and a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed her mind—the door gap!

This straight crack was like a door gap!

This wall... could it be hiding a door?

Thinking of this, Hua Changxi did not hesitate, pressed her palm against the wall, secretly operated her spiritual energy, and pushed hard.

It didn't move at all.

Hua Changxi paused for a moment, gritted her teeth, her spiritual energy surged, and she pushed again with force.

However, the wall seemed to be rooted in the earth; let alone pushing it open, it didn't even tremble in the slightest.

Seeing this, Hua Changxi took a deep breath and slowly approached the wall while holding the "Great Sun Divine Flame" in her palm.

Above the Divine Flame, that circle of light chains composed of "Crack" character runes began to rotate madly, emitting a domineering aura that wanted to tear the void.

She wanted to use the law of "Crack" to forcibly pry open this door gap, even if it was just to tear open a gap!

The moment the Divine Flame touched that straight gap—

"Hum—!"

The Shennong Cauldron in her sea of consciousness suddenly vibrated.

Immediately after, under Gu Xing's dumbfounded gaze, dazzling green light escaped from Hua Changxi's body.

The next moment, heaven and earth turned upside down, and light and shadow were confused.

Hua Changxi, who was in the mottled and dilapidated old courtyard a moment ago, felt the heat waves around her disappear instantly in the next moment, replaced by being wrapped in thick, almost liquefied emerald vitality.

Hua Changxi only felt a blur before her eyes, and her figure had involuntarily fallen into a vast and boundless emerald world.

There was no distinction between sky and earth here, only endless verdant filling her vision.

And in the center of this world, a towering giant tree stood majestically.

Its root system was deeply rooted in the void earth like a dragon or snake, the trunk was thick enough to accommodate ten thousand cities, and the years of flowing light flowed on the bark; the canopy spread out like a sea of clouds, obscuring the sky, and every leaf was like a floating island, emitting a heart-palpitating ancient Dao rhyme.

In front of this towering divine tree, Hua Changxi felt that she was as small as a speck of dust.

The moment Hua Changxi's figure disappeared, Gu Xing shot out like an arrow from a bow, pouncing straight at the wall.

Because the impact was too urgent, he had no time to collect his strength, and with a muffled "thud," he hit the wall solidly.

Severe pain struck, Gu Xing bared his teeth and sucked in air, but his palms instinctively rubbed back and forth on the wall.

What came from his fingertips was only the rough, cold, and hard touch of bricks and stones.

This feeling was exactly the same as when he had wandered and touched here countless times in the past, as if that magical scene just now had never happened, and the wall was still as dead silent as before.

"How... how did she get in?"

"What was that just now..."

Gu Xing's pupils vibrated violently, and a stormy sea was set off in his heart.

Although that moment was as short as a flash of lightning, he saw it clearly—before the gap of space conversion closed, he caught a glimpse of an emerald green that filled the world.

It was the Divine Tree!

Hua Changxi entered the Divine Tree space!

How on earth did she do it?

Gu Xing was puzzled, and outside the old courtyard, the various forces of the Pill Saint Hall were also thinking—why did Hua Changxi close the courtyard gate?

"Could it be... Hua Changxi discovered some secret in the old courtyard?"

Once this thought arose, everyone couldn't sit still.

Xia Zhen took the lead, walked quickly to the gate of the old courtyard, and raised his hand to knock on the door. The "thud thud" sound was particularly clear on the square.

Hearing the movement, Gu Xing looked at the wall that was still the same, steadied his mind, and walked slowly to the courtyard gate.

He subconsciously went to pull the door bolt, but when his palm really held the door and pulled hard, he was surprised to find that it didn't move at all.

Uh...

Gu Xing's expression stiffened. He had forgotten that this door could not be opened by just anyone. He then let go of his hand and said in a deep voice through the door panel: "The door is not bolted, you can just push it."

Hearing this, Xia Zhen was also stunned, and really reached out to push the door.

Unfortunately, the door didn't move at all!

Others who heard the news and rushed over also stepped forward to push the door one after another.

Gu Jinfan looked at the unconvinced crowd and said loudly: "Don't waste your efforts, this courtyard gate cannot be opened by ordinary people."

Hearing this, the old people of the original Medical Department remembered that the gate of the old courtyard had been closed for a long time, and it was only opened later.

By the way, who was the person who opened the courtyard gate at the beginning?
