Chapter 341: Chapter 293: Heaven Origin Divine Tree_1
As the elder conveyed the message, a silhouette soon appeared out of thin air.
“I pay my respects to the Leader!”
Everyone bowed in unison, as the apparition in front of them was a projection of Xiao Changting, the Leader, as if he were personally present.
Xiao Changting’s gaze swept over the crowd, and he nodded slightly, stroking his beard as he spoke, “The Withered Bone Demon Monarch was once a twin soul, both souls and bodies belonging to one person, one of whom was a Demon-suppressing Envoy, and the other the Withered Bone Demon Monarch himself.”
“Later, the Withered Bone Demon Monarch merged his twin bodies. The task was issued before the merger, and now, I hereby declare his dismissal from the position of Demon-suppressing Envoy!”
With those words, the projection dissipated.
Li Cheng and the other two exchanged glances. Twin souls?
“You three must have heard as well, since the position of Demon-suppressing Envoy has been revoked, the mission is naturally still valid, and cannot be changed within ten thousand years,” the elder said.
Wushuang frowned, but then her expression relaxed again. It seemed she still needed to find the Withered Bone Demon Monarch!
“The Demon Suppression Order of the Withered Bone Demon Monarch is still with us. I would trouble the senior to help me extract a strand of Qi for tracking purposes,” Wushuang said.
The elder nodded. “Naturally!”
Soon, the matter was settled, and the three left the Affairs Hall side by side. Kong Lianqing finally spoke, “No need for my help this time, right?”
“Hmph! With your strength, what help could you provide? Goodbye!”
After saying so, Wushuang strode away.
“Getting all high and mighty…” Kong Lianqing muttered to herself and turned to Li Cheng, “Are you going into seclusion again?”
Li Cheng nodded.
He had been eager to explore the Blunt Empty Residence, and then he would need to practice the Vermillion Seal and enhance his Cultivation. He was unlikely to emerge from seclusion anytime soon.
“Well, good luck to you. I’m going to ask my friend about the Vermillion Bird Essence and Blood and the Xuanwu Essence Blood,” said Kong Lianqing as she left.
Li Cheng returned to the courtyard to find that Yin Yue and Ao Qing were both absent.
Ao Jiugai floated out of the Storage Ring, looking around with concern, “Judging from the residual Qi, they have left the house for a day. Could something have happened?”
“They’re not children, what’s there to worry about?” Li Cheng shook his head and walked towards the house.
After several years, nothing in the house had changed.
Ao Jiugai followed, “Are you going into the Blunt Empty Residence? I will join.”
Li Cheng nodded, took out the Blunt Empty Residence, and flew inside.
The Blunt Empty Residence was a manor, but the central building had restrictions that Divine Sense could not penetrate, so it was unknown what was inside.
“With divine Qi more than a hundred times denser than outside, if Divine Medicine were planted in these vacant lands, they would certainly thrive,” remarked Ao Jiugai, surveying the fertile land surrounding the building, satisfied.
“That’s not the point. The main thing is to see if the Blunt Empty Residence has a different rate of time flow from the outside world,” Li Cheng said as he walked towards the courtyard, noticing that while the protective barrier surrounding it blocked Divine Sense, it did not stop him from stepping in.
Once inside the courtyard, he saw a Divine Tree, ten meters tall, thriving with lush branches and leaves, each leaf resembling jade and slowly releasing Divine Qi.
“Heaven Origin Divine Tree!” Ao Jiugai’s eyes widened at the sight of the tree.
Li Cheng had read about the Heaven Origin Divine Tree in books. This type of Divine Tree was strategic material for powerful factions, as it could continuously attract Heaven and Earth Divine Qi to gather, and it also released Divine Qi itself.
If any sect could acquire such a Divine Tree, it would undoubtedly turn their grounds into a place of exceptional Cultivation.
Moreover, as the Divine Tree grew, the Divine Qi it released would become even more majestic.
This tree, nearly one meter thick and ten meters tall, could only be considered small, for when the Heaven Origin Divine Tree fully matured, it could form a realm of its own, according to the records.
“The Heaven Origin Divine Tree has a very strong nourishing effect on Remnant Souls. Senior, wouldn’t you like to try?” Li Cheng asked with a smile.
“Haha, then I shall not be polite!” Ao Jiugai laughed heartily and floated into the trunk of the Divine Tree.
The life force and Divine Qi inside the Divine Tree were incredibly robust, greatly benefiting him.
Below the Heaven Origin Divine Tree, there was a stone table and four stone stools. Li Cheng approached the stone table, astonished to find that it was not an ordinary table but was carved from the Time Divine Jade!
The Time Divine Jade harbored an abundance of Time Laws and had been refined to integrate with the Blunt Empty Residence.
“So it seems, the Blunt Empty Residence indeed is a Time Artifact!” Li Cheng nodded satisfactorily, then turned his attention to the main house. Now all he needed to do was to locate the core of the Blunt Empty Residence, refine and claim it, and then he could activate it to exploit its time-accelerating abilities.
Inside the main house was a simple layout, with a table and a chair by the window and a meditation cushion placed in the center of the room on the floor, atop of which rested a fist-sized crystal ball, and beyond that, there was nothing else.
Li Cheng was captivated by the crystal ball, which more closely resembled a tangible shield of light that reflected the Blunt Empty Residence itself inside it.
Without a doubt, this was the core object of the Blunt Empty Residence, and once it was refined, he would have full control over it.
“It seems we are indeed fated!”
At that moment, an ethereal voice sounded.
Li Cheng was not surprised and followed the voice to see that a ghostly figure had already taken a seat at the table.
It was an old man with white hair and a youthful face, radiating a soft white light in the illumination by the window.
The last time they met in Blunt Empty City, Li Cheng could not discern his face clearly, but he was certain that this was the Blunt Empty Venerable!
The very Blunt Empty Venerable who was one of the top ten marvels of the Kunlun Realm!
“Junior Li Cheng pays his respects to Blunt Empty Senior!” Li Cheng regained his composure and bowed to the apparition.
Back then, it was the same respectful bow, the same courteous address.
