Chapter 1331: The Trunk of Divine Sky-Connecting Tree
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Zhang Ruochen activated his Ten Saints Blood Armor as he got closer to the blue mist. The armor covered his entire body, and meanwhile, he released space domain.
Fiery light threads gushed out of Martial Saint Canglan’s Fiery Phoenix Armor, and they formed fiery feathers that floated around her body. Each feather looked like a shield.
They encountered God-swallowing Bugs a couple of times, and they ran into five of them once. Fortunately, they were powerful enough to kill them all.
Ordinary saint weapons weren’t powerful enough to kill them, yet space cracks could drag them into hollow space, annihilating them.
“There’s natal saint Qi gushing out. The valuables hidden in the mist have got to be invaluable,” Martial Saint Canglan said.
Natal saint Qi was superior to Spiritual Qi.
Before the ancient times, there were two markets, three ways, seven sects, and sixteen ancient races. Under the training places of some of the powerful families, there were saint meridians flowing which could emanate Natal saint Qi.
After the Divine Sky-connecting Tree was cut off, all the saint meridians were dried out. Only the lower-class ground spiritual meridians were still flowing.
There was Spiritual Qi everywhere in Kunlun’s Field, yet Natal Saint Qi was very rare. It only existed in some of the spiritual valuables.
For example, the spiritual holy Qi inside the mercury gourd was one of the Natal Saint Qi.
“It’s wood spiritual holy Qi,” Zhang Ruochen said.
The Universe Spiritual Map in Zhang Ruochen’s lower abdomen was tumbling much more fiercely, and chaos Qi gushed out of some of the new cracks, which exceeded the limit of Zhang Ruochen’s lower abdomen, which were tens of thousands of times larger than those of ordinary monks, gushing toward his meridians and saint meridians.
Zhang Ruochen felt extreme agony as his meridians and saint meridians were bulging.
He had to open all his apertures so that the chaos Qi inside his body gushed out.
Whoosh!
One hundred and forty-four five-colored chaos rivers rushed out of his apertures and floated in the sky, forming a whirlpool.
Marital Saint Canglan was dazed by the changes happening in Zhang Ruochen’s body. “Chaos Qi? How is there so much chaos Qi inside your body?”
Chaos Qi was hundreds of times more precious than Natal Saint Qi. Even though Martial Saint Canglan had seen countless valuables, she was still astounded.
“Do you want it?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
What does he mean?
Martial Saint Canglan rolled her eyes. Before she understood why Zhang Ruochen said that, Zhang Ruochen rushed forward and pressed toward her breasts.
Martial Saint Canglan wasn’t prepared for this at all. Before she realized it, Zhang Ruochen’s hand was already on her breast. This was such hooliganism, and Martial Saint Canglan was furious. Her eyes gleamed with indignation and she clenched her saint sword tightly.
However, a huge force gushed out of Zhang Ruochen’s palm and pushed her back into a cold wall.
“Zhang Ruochen, you’re the first man who’s dared touch me…”
Martial Saint Canglan wielded her sword, wanting to cut off Zhang Ruochen’s arm, however, he saw a large group of God-swallowing Bugs behind her. There were dozens of them.
They were where she was standing.
Apparently, those God-swallowing Bugs were attracted by the chaos Qi, which they were greedily swallowing.
Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen had pushed her away in time, otherwise, she would’ve been killed.
Damn him. Even if he was trying to save me, he should’ve pushed at another spot. Doesn’t he know there’re some areas on a woman’s body he’s never supposed to touch?
However, Martial Saint Canglan’s face started to blush even though she was furious, and she put her saint weapon away.
Zhang Ruochen stared at her and said, “What’re you thinking about? Perform your techniques and absorb more chaos Qi. If the chaos Qi is still permeating, it’ll only attract more God-swallowing Bugs. Do you want to get us both killed?”
Martial Saint Canglan noticed that there was something warm flowing into her body, which was the five-colored chaos Qi.
She knew how precious chaos Qi was, so she immediately started to exercise and absorb the chaos Qi.
After those God-swallowing Bugs absorbed the chaos Qi in the air completely, they flew around before they took off toward the deep area of the blue mist.
After a long time, the Universe Spiritual Map slowed in releasing chaos Qi, only after which did he pull his hand back from the breasts of Martial Saint Canglan.
“How risky was that…”
Zhang Ruochen still had a lingering fear, yet he found out that all his one hundred and forty-four apertures were opened, absorbing the wood spiritual holy Qi from the blue mist.
It was because of this that Universe Spiritual Map slowed down releasing chaos Qi.
“Is Divine Sky-connecting Tree absorbing the wood spiritual holy Qi?”
That was Zhang Ruochen’s assumption.
Meanwhile, Zhang Ruochen sensed that someone was glaring at him with indignation.
How could Martial Saint Canglan not be angry?
Without any warning, her breasts were touched by Zhang Ruochen, and after that, he was whispering to himself as if nothing had happened.
Zhang Ruochen also realized what he did was inappropriate. He said, “That was a vital moment. I didn’t have any other choice.”
“If you do it the next time, I’ll fight you to the death.”
Martial Saint Canglan told Zhang Ruochen the same thing he told her, and then, she turned around and walked forward.
Zhang Ruochen caught up with her and walked side by side with her. He said, “Don’t you want to ask me where my chaos Qi comes from?”
Martial Saint Canglan was indeed curious, however, her mind was in a mess, so she didn’t ask.
She was anxious seeing Zhang Ruochen catch up with her as she didn’t know why. She asked, “Why?”
“What do you mean ‘why?’” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“Ummm…”
Martial Saint Canglan stopped walking, trying to calm herself down, then she said, “I mean why do you have so much chaos Qi inside your body?”
“Everyone has a secret. This is my secret, so I can’t tell others,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Martial Saint Canglan was dazed, and then, her face turned stiff and she said, “Then why did you ask me to ask you?”
“You didn’t understand where I was coming from. I just wish you could help me keep my secret instead of telling others,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Martial Saint Canglan kept grinding her teeth as she realized she couldn’t stay tranquil beside that guy. On the contrary, Zhang Ruochen never showed any emotions on his face, which made people wonder whether he was emotionless or not.
Zhang Ruochen and Martial Saint Canglan were both thrilled as they walked forward, as they found wood-characteristic air that was superior to wood spiritual holy Qi.
“Is this the godly wood Qi?” Martial Saint Canglan asked.
“That’s right.”
Zhang Ruochen looked up at an enormous godly tree standing at the center of the blue mist.
It seemed that the godly tree was growing in a different space instead of that blue palace. The trunk itself was dozens of miles wide.
Most of the trunk of that godly tree was in the mist.
Some of the branches were floating in the sky, and there were yellow leaves on the branches, which looked lifeless compared to the godly wood Qi around them.
“Is that a godly tree?”
Martial Saint Canglan had never seen such a gigantic tree. The forces coming from that tree were ancient but divine as if it were a God. She couldn’t help wanting to kneel down to worship it.
“Divine Sky-connecting Tree.”
“What did you just say?”
Zhang Ruochen said, “That’s the trunk of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree which got cut off. It’s the spiritual root of Kunlun’s Field, the origin of all the living creatures. No wonder that phalange didn’t dare trespass in the blue temple. I should’ve guessed so.” The seedling of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree played a major role in Xuanwu Void World as it cleared the devil death Qi, which meant the Divine Sky-connecting Tree had to be the bane of the death race.
Zhang Ruochen and Martial Saint Canglan kneeled on the ground and worshiped the trunk of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.
The Divine Sky-connecting Tree was the mother of land. It was the start of everything in Kunlun’s Field, including Zhang Ruochen and Martial Saint Canglan.
It was worth worshipping.
Zhang Ruochen had seen the root of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree before, yet the divine wood Qi and divine wood rules were all used to nurture the new seedling.
The tree root was only a special kind of wood. It didn’t have the forces and divine power of a divine tree.
However, the tree trunk was a different thing. It still had the divine wood Qi and divine wood rules, and if it were used to make a weapon, it could totally suppress the death race.
Martial Saint Canglan rushed forward, trying to get the tree trunk of Divine Sky-connecting Tree before Zhang Ruochen did.
Zhang Ruochen stopped her using spatial move. He whispered, “Are you insane. Do you want to die?”
“Don’t stop me. Such a real treasure can only be fully utilized in the hands of the imperial government.”
Martial Saint Canglan swung her sword, trying to force Zhang Ruochen away.
Zhang Ruochen moved his body, and the sword Qi flew toward the trunk of Divine Sky-connecting Tree, shaking the air.
Sizzle!
A weird sound came from the tree trunk, followed by balls of blue fires. Some of the flames were as large as nails, some were as large as fists, and some were large as washbasins. They looked like a blue astral sea, mesmerizing.
However, Zhang Ruochen and Martial Saint Canglan didn’t find them mesmerizing at all. Their faces turned pale, as each of the blue flames was a God-swallowing Bug.
