Chapter 465: Chapter 330 Getting the fruit of the Tree of Longevity_1

When Chen Mobai found Mu Yuan, the latter was standing in front of a large tree that would take four to five people to encircle.

This large tree seemed to have experienced a long span of time, its cyan-brown bark had slightly yellowed, its branches were vigorous like dragons. Yet strangely, it didn’t bear any leaves.

In order to avoid being noticed, Chen Mobai stood two kilometers away and then activated his Void Spirit Eye.

With one glance, he realized what was happening.

This was a Qingyang Spirit Tree undergoing transformation.

It was unsure how Mu Yuan had discovered this, considering that during Chen Mobai’s many years in the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he had only ever witnessed Red-sun Spirit Trees and never discovered a Rank-2 Qingyang Spirit Tree.

However, this could also be because he was not on a specific search for it.

The tree before his eyes was the legendary transformation process of a Qingyang Spirit Tree – its three spiritual energies of earth, wood, and fire were imbalanced, triggering its transformation into a Qingyang Spirit Tree before it started to burn its own body with Qingyang Fire.

It was unknown how Mu Yuan managed to find this place. Witnessing this extremely rare scene, he stood still involuntarily.

Through his Void Spirit Eye, Chen Mobai saw that the Qingyang Spirit Tree seemed to have undergone half of its transformation.

The surrounding ground was covered with leaves wilted and fallen note after being burned by the Qingyang Fire. From the vigorous dragon-like branches, tiny red flames had begun to ignite at the tips.

Like a chain reaction, the red flames began to rise in temperature gradually with the help of the Qingyang Spirit Tree’s main body.

When all the branches had been burnt, the red flames had turned a faint purple.

Subsequently, the faint purple flames began to heat the main body of the Qingyang Spirit Tree, a process that started slow but soon quickened.

By the time the flames turned deep purple, there was only a stump of the Qingyang Spirit Tree left that was about as tall as half a person.

All the flames gathered on top of the stump, which began to condense into form, but it seemed to lack a key force and hence could not form into a fire seed.

“For a plant to become spiritual, it’s ultimately quite challenging,”

Mu Yuan sighed, injecting his pure Longevity Spiritual Power into the deep purple flames.

Soon after, the purple flames consumed the remaining stump and even swallowed up all signs of the Qingyang Spirit Tree’s existence down its roots, leaving behind a deep pit layered with ashes and wilted leaves.

Yet even so, the formation of the Qingyang Fire Seed was incomplete and it was unable to take shape.

Chen Mobai watched as Mu Yuan took out a Spirit Stone to absorb before continuously injecting Longevity Spiritual Power into the deep purple flames burning within the pit.

Squeak! Crack!

Accompanied by the sounds of trees snapping, Chen Mobai watched as Mu Yuan felled nearly a thousand Red-sun Spirit Trees within a half-kilometer radius, then swung each one of them into the tree pit like one would throwing firewood into a fire.

Originally waning, the deep purple flames were revitalized by Mu Yuan’s spiritual energy and the seemingly endless Red-sun Spirit Trees as fuel. Ultimately, an hour later, they solidified into a palm-sized “fire seed”.

This was the origin of the Qingyang Fire Seed.

Having seen the entire process, a look of sudden understanding appeared on Chen Mobai’s face.

In the Giant Tree Ridge, Yue Zutao must have also used this method to create a fire seed after a failed transformation attempt by a Qingyang Spirit Tree.

Mu Yuan was indeed fortunate, being able to witness a Qingyang Spirit Tree undergo transformation within the Divine Tree Secret Realm.

It would have been great if the transformation was successful.

In his heart, Chen Mobai sighed. After all, the Divine Tree Secret Realm was now practically his. If this Spirit Tree had successfully advanced to a Rank-3 Golden Sun Spirit Tree, it would be a treasure either kept alive or harvested in the future.

But failure is the norm, with success being an occasional incident.

It served as a reminder for him to possibly find other Qingyang Spirit Trees, or even Golden Sun Spirit Trees, in the Divine Tree Secret Realm in the future.

Thinking of this, Chen Mobai then directed his gaze towards the three Heaven-reaching Divine Woods at the core of the Secret Realm.

He wondered if these three Divine Woods could grow into tree seeds.

By this time, Mu Yuan had stored the newly born and still weak Qingyang Fire Seed into a pot.

Watching him bring out two Spirit Stones to meditate and replenish the spiritual energy he’d lost, Chen Mobai quietly let out a sigh of relief.

You should finally head towards the Magic Treasure Tree now.

Since he’d found Mu Yuan, the guardian puppet at the Talent Tree didn’t need to stay there any longer.

Chen Mobai instructed his Divine Sense to follow Yu Lian, who had seemingly gained some Cultivation Techniques, and moved towards the Divine Tree.

He wanted to see how many steps Yu Lian could take.

A day later, Mu Yuan, who had recuperated his spiritual power, indeed did as he had anticipated and flew towards the Magic Treasure Tree.

Being a man who kept his promises, he took out his Wood Spiritual Talisman and after activating it, entered the tree crown and also picked a yellow fruit.

After that, Mu Yuan visited the Talent Tree.

With his Wood Spirit Root, naturally, he obtained a Secret Technique that seemed extremely useful to him, causing the usually cold him to show a hint of pleasure.

Lastly, it was in front of the Divine Tree.

Yu Lian took seven steps, which was already a highly commendable feat.

Knowing that E Yun also only managed seven steps.

Without using the puppet, Chen Mobai alone also managed to stop at seven.

But for the trial set by the longevity religion, seven steps were far from enough, the divine tree would not even notice.

Chen Mobai wondered what Hong He, who had taken nine steps, managed to achieve here.
