Chapter 482: Pill Spring

In the Undying Divine Tree space, Hua Changxi knew nothing about the commotion caused by the closing of the old courtyard gate. At this moment, all her mind was occupied by the towering emerald tree in front of her.

Between breaths, a massive vitality, thick to the point of being almost liquefied, rushed toward her. Every time she inhaled and exhaled, it seemed that ten thousand tiny emerald light spots penetrated her pores, seeping into her limbs and bones like sweet rain, carefully washing every inch of flesh and bone.

If in the Fusang Divine Tree space, the whole body's cells were domineeringly ignited, boiling and burning like fire cooking oil; then at this moment, under the shroud of the Undying Divine Tree, every cell was like a seed that had drunk enough spring rain, no longer restless, but full of moist vitality and surging power ready to go.

At this moment, Hua Changxi only felt that her body had undergone a baptism of rebirth, glowing with a crystal-like luster from the inside out, and her whole person was so light that she felt as if she were about to feather and ascend to immortality.

At the same time, the Undying Divine Tree space was also filled with an indescribable pressure, not the kind of suffocating oppression, but a kind of awe stemming from the origin of life.

This was the second Divine Tree space Hua Changxi had entered. She had long seen and experienced the strangeness and magnificence of the Divine Tree space, so the shock and comfort of the first arrival did not let her indulge for too long, and her mind returned to clarity in an instant.

"Where is the Soul River?"

Entering the Undying Divine Tree space, the main purpose was to take Soul River water. After her mind returned, Hua Changxi immediately began to look for the Soul River.

She raised her head to peek at the canopy that obscured the sky, but her gaze was like a mud cow entering the sea, dissipating in the endless emerald depths, with no way to reach the end.

Her line of sight was blocked by layers of branches and leaves that covered the sky and sun, so she had to try to fly up.

At first, the flight was smooth, but once she crossed the thick trunk and broke into that vast branch and leaf domain, an invisible heavy pressure rushed toward her.

The higher she went, the greater the resistance.

Hua Changxi gritted her teeth and struggled through the first layer of leaf barriers like overlapping mountains.

The moment she broke through the leaf barrier, her vision suddenly opened up—she saw at the peak of the sky, a long river flowing with dazzling white light spanning the sky, like a plain silk transformed from a falling Milky Way, and also like a ribbon left by a god in the world, quietly floating above the divine tree, emitting a heart-palpitating pure brilliance.

Soul River!

Hua Changxi could not hide her excitement, the spiritual energy around her body circulated madly, and her figure was like an arrow from a bow, speeding toward the high place.

However, when she penetrated the fourth layer of leaf barriers overlapping like mountains, an unprecedented sense of heaviness pressed on her body. Hua Changxi felt a bit powerless, and could only lie on a divine tree leaf and gasp for breath—at this moment, the circulation of spiritual energy was no longer enough to resist the heavy pressure emitted by the divine tree.

But fortunately, the Soul River was already close at hand. As long as she flew over the fifth layer of divine tree leaf barriers, she could touch the Soul River.

Hua Changxi adjusted her breath for a moment and flew up again, but this time, no matter how she urged her spiritual energy, that invisible barrier was like a copper wall and iron wall, blocking her firmly under the fifth layer of leaf barriers.

After several attempts without success, she hardened her heart, no longer relying on spiritual energy, but suddenly erupted the blood and Qi in her body!

Boom!

The surging and boiling blood and Qi power swept through her whole body, actually forcing her to tear open the barrier that spiritual energy could not overcome, and she rushed out of the fifth layer of leaf barriers.

"Spiritual energy is blocked, but blood and Qi can pass?"

Hua Changxi stood on the fifth layer of leaf barriers, thoughtful. With the circulation of blood and Qi, she was surprised to find that the pressure that had made her unable to breathe had actually receded like a tide.

"Could it be that crossing the leaf barriers is related to the level of the realm?"

She was only in the Nascent Soul stage. When spiritual energy circulated, it could only support her to cross the fourth layer; and her physical body had been cultivated to the seventh layer of body refining, and even touched the threshold of the eighth layer, so after erupting the blood and Qi power, not only could she break through the fifth layer, but even the pressure she endured was reduced.

Thinking of this, Hua Changxi immediately began to verify.

Sure enough, relying on pure physical strength, she was like a broken bamboo, rushing all the way to the seventh layer of leaf barriers!

However, when she tried to cross the eighth layer, the resistance increased sharply, like a natural chasm.

Even if she unleashed the "Law Heaven and Earth" divine ability and turned into a giant, she was still ruthlessly bounced back by that vast force.

"In the end, it's still a line short."

Hua Changxi felt a bit regretful, but she understood in her heart.

Her eighth layer of body refining had just entered the first stage—opening the seven chakras. This was still a long way from being cultivated to perfection, so it was reasonable that she couldn't shake the eighth layer of leaf barriers.

Although she didn't fly over the eighth layer of leaf barriers, she wasn't too disappointed.

Just, in the trance of several impacts on the eighth layer of leaf barriers, she vaguely caught a glimpse that the scene above the eighth layer seemed to be different—immortal mist curled, auspicious energy in thousands of strands, and the ethereal clouds were as solid and flat as the earth carrying all things.

Although Hua Changxi was very curious about the scene above the eighth layer of leaf barriers, she also knew that her current ability could not reach it, so she could only take her heart back and take out the luminous cup to start collecting Soul River water.

"The luminous cup is still too small!"

However, having found a way to enter the Undying Divine Tree space, she didn't care too much. After using it up, she could come in and take it again in the future.

Hua Changxi put away the luminous cup, and her gaze fell on the edge of the divine tree leaf—there were points of emerald flowing light condensing there, which was the overflowing vitality spiritual liquid.

Without delay, she hurriedly took out porcelain bottles and carefully collected dozens of bottles.

Previously, the explosion of the Instrument Saint Palace barrier caused heavy damage, and the firewood branch obtained from the divine tree had exhausted all its vitality to treat the wounded.

At the moment, these spiritual liquids were exactly the best spiritual liquids to nourish the firewood branch and make it regain its vitality.

After collecting the spiritual liquid, Hua Changxi stood on the edge of a divine tree leaf on the outermost periphery of the seventh layer of leaf barriers. She first raised her head, staring at the eighth layer of natural chasm that was still out of reach above her head, and understood that she could not peek at the mysteries of the higher places for the time being, before slowly lowering her eyes to overlook the bottom.

At this moment, the majestic full picture of the Undying Divine Tree was gradually outlined clearly in her heart.

The root system as thick as a dragon pillar was deeply rooted in the void, holding up the towering giant trunk; on the trunk, layers of leaf barriers were like continuous mountains, stacked layer by layer upward.

The higher it went, the more the range of the leaf barriers converged, until it shrank toward the peak of the sky that could not be known.

The whole divine tree was like a green tower reaching the sky.

Hua Changxi did not linger too much in the high place of the divine tree, her figure turned, and she jumped down the layers of leaf barriers, falling rapidly toward the root like a meteor.

In a moment, she landed steadily on the huge tree roots that were intertwined.

Further down, it was the endless void abyss, dark and deep, as if it could swallow everything in the world.

"The divine tree connects to the extreme of the nine heavens above, and connects to the bottom of the nine underworlds below..."

Hua Changxi stared at the bottomless black abyss under the tree roots, and a desire to explore surged in her heart.

The Fusang Divine Tree is rooted in Tang Valley, connecting to the nine underworlds; what kind of place does the depth of the roots of the Undying Divine Tree connect to?

"Should I jump down and take a look?"

Hua Changxi stared at the abyss, her face thoughtful.

The Pill Saint Hall is one of the four array eyes suppressing the Demon Prison. According to the layout of the Instrument Saint Palace, the array eye should be located at the source where the Undying Divine Tree is rooted in the nine underworlds.

The Divine Tree space is safe, and the nine underworld array eye has Demon Suppressing Guards stationed there. Hua Changxi felt that there was no danger in jumping down, so she didn't hesitate, her figure suddenly soared into the air, and she jumped down the tree roots as thick as mountain ranges without looking back, falling straight toward the bottomless darkness.

This fall seemed to span the long river of time.

She sped through the endless darkness, and the concept of time became blurred at this moment—it seemed like an instant, and it seemed like ten thousand years. Until the darkness around her began to twist, a dazzling light pierced through the chaos.

As the light flourished, the sense of weightlessness stopped abruptly.

Hua Changxi tapped her toes lightly and landed lightly like a feather. When she looked around, her breathing couldn't help but stagnate.

What came into view was not the eerie and terrifying nine underworlds.

Under her feet were rare spiritual grasses spread out like brocade, with faint fluorescence flowing between the leaf veins; flowers were blooming all around, competing for beauty, and the air was filled with intoxicating and rich fragrance.

Looking up, spiritual mist filled the air; looking down, emerald spiritual springs wound and flowed.

And in the center of this extreme scenery, a simple and vigorous stone tablet stood quietly.

On the stone tablet, two large characters were striking—Pill Spring.
