Chapter 1414: Chapter 1414: Pretending to Be a God and Playing Tricks

The branches and leaves of the ancient tree gradually settled down.

"So Hua Chen, didn’t you just leave? Why are you back again?"

An aged voice came from the trunk of the ancient tree.

Yun Mengyao and the others widened their eyes in surprise.

"This tree has become a spirit," Yun Mengyao exclaimed in shock.

Hua Chen’s expression slightly changed, "Fairy Yun, please don’t speak recklessly. Quickly apologize to the Holy Tree, sir."

Yun Mengyao quickly said, "Senior Holy Tree, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. Please forgive my careless words."

Qin Yi looked at Yun Mengyao in surprise, this woman was quite sensible.

"No problem, I’ve seen plenty of ignorant little kids like you, so I’m not surprised," said the Holy Tree.

"Are these humans?"

Hua Chen hurriedly said, "Holy Tree, sir, they are friends of the Elf Clan. Please allow us to enter."

"No way, those who are not of the Elf Clan cannot enter the Elf Clan."

Hua Chen’s face stiffened, the Holy Tree may be a tree, but it held a high position in the Elf Clan, even the Clan Leader had to be respectful when facing it, and no one could refute its words.

"Pretending to be gods and spirits," Qin Yi suddenly said.

Hua Chen’s face changed drastically, Yun Mengyao was unintentional before, but Qin Yi was blatantly insulting the Holy Tree.

"Young master Qin, be cautious with your words. Quickly apologize to the Holy Tree."

Qin Yi’s lips curled slightly as he stepped forward toward the Holy Tree, "Do you plan to let us in, or should I tear you down and then go in?"

"Impudent, how dare you show disrespect to the Holy Tree," Jin Wen said angrily.

Qin Yi glanced at him, "All beings can cultivate, flowers, grass, and trees can develop spirituality. This ancient tree is at least a thousand years old, but it’s much more difficult for flowers, grass, and trees to cultivate than humans, a thousand years is not enough. Moreover, any plant that can cultivate Lingzhi is a rare treasure of nature. But this ancient tree is just an ordinary tree, nothing strange other than being large. Claiming it’s cultivated Spiritual Wisdom is just fooling the ignorant."

"Little kid, you dare disrespect this Holy Tree, today I’ll teach you a lesson,"

The Holy Tree seemed enraged.

Suddenly, a tree vine as thick as a thigh, like an iron whip, came sweeping toward Qin Yi with a terrifying sound.

Qin Yi quickly evaded with a swift move.

"Bang!"

The ground was cracked open by the vine.

Then, like a snake, the vine shot toward Qin Yi aggressively.

Qin Yi raised his hand, fingers like knives, slashing out a purple light that sliced the vine into several segments with a hiss.

"Crack..."

The ground exploded, and several tree vines burst forth.

Qin Yi’s lips curled, sealing with one hand. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Wind Blade."

A sudden gust turned into countless wind blades, sweeping out, the vines were ground into dust before completely emerging from the ground.

Qin Yi looked at the ancient tree indifferently and said, "Do you want me to uproot you?"

The Holy Tree angrily said, "You little kid have some skills, but threatening this Holy Tree will lead to a miserable end."

Qin Yi sneered, a purple flame emerging in his palm, the surrounding temperature rising sharply, the white mist quickly evaporated, the air around Qin Yi distorted from the heat.

"This is the Chaotic Purple Flames that can burn everything in the world, do you want to try it?"

"Wait." The Holy Tree suddenly said.

Everyone was stunned. Was the Holy Tree afraid?

"Little kid, we are all civilized, no need for violence. We elves love peace, are peace envoys, easy to talk to. Tell me, why do you want to enter the Elf Clan? If the reason is valid, I might let you in."

Everyone: "..."

Especially the elves, eyes wide like an ox, the Holy Tree’s words seemed a bit cowardly.

Qin Yi lowered his hand, extinguishing the Chaotic Purple Flames, looked at the ancient tree and said, "I have something important that is beneficial to the Elf Clan without harm."

"Why should I believe you?" asked the ancient tree.

Qin Yi laughed, "Because I could uproot and burn you to ashes but didn’t."

The ancient tree was silent for a long time, then said, "That’s a sufficient reason, this Holy Tree will let you in."

Saying this, the tree’s branches and leaves shook rapidly, and a large hole slowly appeared that people could pass through.

Hua Chen and others’ lips twitched, it was their first time seeing the Holy Tree behaving so shamelessly.

However, it was the Holy Tree’s decision, and they had no right to interfere.

"Young master Qin, please."

The group entered the tree hole one by one.

After a brief darkness, their vision opened wide, leaving Yun Mengyao and others completely stunned.

Here was a different world compared to the outer Mist Forest. Outside was misty, cold, and damp. Here, though the trees formed a forest with dense foliage, they were far apart, the ground covered in green grass and colorful wildflowers, with bridges, flowing streams, blue skies, and pleasant bird songs uplifting the spirit.

In the distance, there was a waterfall like the Milky Way.

The most curious were the houses, built entirely in trees, like a world from a tale.

Countless elves flew back and forth, some busy, some playing, it was a veritable paradise.

After coming to his senses, Qin Yi exclaimed, "No wonder people on the outside don’t know the Elf Clan’s habitat. You live within a heavenly-level array."

Hua Chen looked at Qin Yi in shock, not expecting Qin Yi to notice the entire Elf Clan was within a heavenly-level array upon arrival.

Qin Yi glanced at him, smiling, "Don’t be surprised, Qin has some research into array arts. A heavenly-level array is rare in the world, this is a completely independent realm."

Yun Mengyao and others were astonished, this place was incredibly beautiful.

"The dense forest outside and here are completely different worlds, outside like the mortal world, here like the heavenly realm, the earthly realm is better, life here is worthwhile."

Qin Yi glared at her, using all sorts of nonsense words here.

Little Ye Zi beamed with happiness, "Big brother, isn’t Little Ye Zi’s home pretty?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "It is very pretty, only such a pretty place is worthy of Little Ye Zi, such a pretty little fairy."

"Hehe..." Little Ye Zi was very pleased, "Big brother, I’ll take you to Little Ye Zi’s home, I’ll tell you, my room is very pretty."

"Okay." The group walked forward.

"This Elf Clan is truly beautiful, but the Holy Tree guard was disappointingly scared by a mere threat from Qin Yi. If confronted by someone stronger and malicious, wouldn’t the Elf Clan be in danger?" Yun Mengyao said quietly to Qin Yi on the way.

Qin Yi smiled, "You’re wrong, the Holy Tree at the entrance is just a facade, the real way to enter here is very special, only elves know. This is a heavenly-level array, even peak experts may not break through. Also, the ancient tree at the entrance is not a Holy Tree at all, but someone pretending to be mysterious inside the tree trunk."
