79: Chapter 79: Under the Great Dao Tree, vie for opportunity; those who block my way shall be slain!

"Sigh, I am truly poor..." Xie Wushang glanced at the coffins hidden within the Chaos Sea, whispering and shaking his head.

With dozens of Great Emperors waiting to be fed, he also felt immense pressure.

Because of this, he did not choose to go to the auction house to look for Quasi-Emperor gold and stones.

Only by coming to the Secret Realm would there be an Opportunity to search for more Heaven And Earth Treasures.

Go to the auction house?

It would only make him even poorer.

"Young Lord, do not worry about the retaliation of the Tianyang Holy Land. I will send a message right now to have the Family send a Quasi-Emperor over to protect you."

Seeing the look of worry on Xie Wushang's face and thinking that he was afraid the Tianyang Holy Land would come looking for trouble, Jiang Mo immediately spoke up.

"Retaliation?" Xie Wushang looked stunned, then said with a straight face.

"There is no need to trouble the Family. This time I have come for experiential training to temper myself; everything must rely on myself."

What a joke, if he let the Jiang Clan send people over, how else was he supposed to fish?

"Rely on yourself?" Jiang Mo frowned.

"Although the Tianyang Holy Land does not have a Great Emperor presiding over it... it still has quite a few Great Saints. If a powerhouse truly comes out of seclusion, it is not something we can handle!" Jiang Xun said with some concern, quickly reminding him that when a powerhouse makes a move, they can annihilate low-level Cultivators with a flick of their hand.

If he was even slightly careless, he would lose his life!

Even Jiang Xun, a Saint of the Ninth Realm, did not dare to be arrogant.

"Great Saints... are they strong?" Xie Wushang turned his head, glanced indifferently at Jiang Xun, and then strode forward.

He walked toward the fire pool in the valley ahead.

Behind him, Jiang Xun's two subordinates looked at each other in dismay.

Are Great Saints not strong?

Such figures could instantly kill a Ninth Realm Saint with a wave of their hand.

"Let us go!" Jiang Mo glanced at Jiang Xun and the other two, then immediately followed after Xie Wushang.

The flames under Xie Wushang's feet extended downward, directly connecting to the fire pool below.

He saw that the huge fire pool in the valley had a churning vortex, manifesting a spatial passage.

Inside, it was unexpectedly another world of its own.

That was a vast sea of fire.

At the center of the sea of fire was a ten-thousand-meter-high Peak.

On the Peak of the mountain, there was actually an ancient tree towering a thousand zhang high.

This tree was like a tree reaching to the heavens, every single leaf flowing with the patterns of the Dao, and within them seemed to evolve a world.

As the leaves swayed, a wisp of Dao rhyme permeated the air.

Causing anyone to feel as though they were about to comprehend the Dao just by slightly sensing it.

Only, the mountain and the entire ancient tree were completely isolated by a sealed light barrier, making it impossible for people to approach.

There was only a divine ladder to the heavens extending down from the Peak ahead, allowing people to enter the mountain.

At this moment, two old men wearing sun-fire robes stood tall at the bottom of the heavenly ladder.

Both of them possessed the cultivation of the Saint King Realm.

Besides this, on the heavenly ladder, a young man was working hard to climb.

He had already stepped onto the thirty-third step, moving forward with difficulty as he wanted to tread the heavenly ladder and ascend that mountain reaching to the heavens.

Xie Wushang, Jiang Mo, Jiang Xun, and the others stepped into this place, and at a glance, they saw the ten-thousand-meter giant Peak ahead.

As well as that thousand-zhang-tall tree reaching to the heavens.

"That tree actually emits the Aura of the Great Dao!" Jiang Zhen's gaze narrowed.

"I didn't expect there to be such a Secret Realm in this place." Jiang Xun's eyes lit up.

He also did not expect this place to have such an extraordinary Secret Realm.

They had come to the Abyss of the Fallen Sun for quite some time.

This place had also only suddenly manifested; previously it was folded by a Formation and existed within the Void Realm, with no one knowing about it.

Following that, for half a month, the people of the Tianyang Holy Land controlled the valley and would not allow outsiders to approach.

The various clans only regarded this as an ordinary Secret Realm, and did not conflict with the people of the Tianyang Holy Land.

After all, the Tianyang Holy Land had produced a Great Emperor after all.

Today, it also had a Quasi-Emperor presiding over it, which was incomparable to ordinary Holy Lands.

If there were no major matters, the Emperor Clan did not want to rashly turn hostile with them and add unnecessary trouble.

"This tree is not simple!" Xie Wushang strolled through the air, looking at the ancient tree blooming like the stars in the high sky and said.

"This is the tree of great dao..." Inside the disaster prison bead, Great Emperor Jiuyang stroked his beard and spoke leisurely.

"Oh, the tree of great dao?" Xie Wushang's gaze narrowed.

"Back then, when Revered Master was impacting the Six-Calamity Realm, I had once come here to comprehend the Dao," Great Emperor Jiuyang said.

"Revered Master had once comprehended the Dao here?" Xie Wushang's eyes lit up, and he said, "In that case, the value of this tree far surpasses an Emperor Weapon?"

"Mn!" Great Emperor Jiuyang said, "If you can ascend the mountain and comprehend the Dao under the tree, you might be able to break through the Bottleneck and step into the Ninth Realm."

"Since Revered Master has said so, Disciple has no choice but to give it a try." Xie Wushang touched the bridge of his nose, glanced at the heavenly ladder ahead, and then strode forward, walking toward the bottom of the heavenly ladder, preparing to climb it.

Jiang Mo, Jiang Xun, and the others followed after him.

At the base of the mountain.

In the vast drill grounds.

The entrance of the heavenly ladder.

Xie Wushang landed gracefully.

Before Xie Wushang had even landed, a cold voice rang out.

"Who are you people, daring to come here? Quickly retreat from this seat!"

Only to see on the left side of the heavenly ladder, an aged Saint King wearing a fire robe with a stern gaze looked over with a gloomy expression.

This person was an Elder of the Tianyang Holy Land, Zhou Tai.

Behind him, flames rolled and transformed into a fire Luan, flying toward Xie Wushang.

As this fire Luan flew over, its wings spread to span a hundred meters. When its wings churned, waves of fire rolled over angrily, and streaks of feathers like sharp blades assaulted Xie Wushang as well as Jiang Mo and Jiang Xun behind him, while the Aura of the Saint King suppressed downward.

Immediately, layers of ripples stirred in the Void Realm.

Jiang Mo, Jiang Xun, and the others only felt their breathing stagnate.

Jiang Mo immediately moved his palm and conjured a Saint King-grade sun precious bead.

The bead bloomed with brilliance, transforming to a size of a hundred zhang, enveloping Jiang Mo and the others within.

Only in this way was the Saint King might coming from ahead able to be weakened.

However, just as Jiang Xun and the others breathed a sigh of relief, they saw Xie Wushang stride forward.

With a single step of a hundred meters, he walked toward the Saint King ahead.

"Young Lord..." Seeing this, Jiang Xun felt worried in his heart and hurriedly reached out to shout.

The other two half-step Saint Realm iron guards felt even more panic in their hearts.

Their Realm was the same as Xie Wushang's.

Facing the might of the Saint King, they all felt their Primordial Spirit tremble, as if the heavenly vault was pressing down on their heads, and they simply could not breathe.

Even their bodies seemed as though they were about to be crushed to pieces; how could they have any strength to fight?

Yet the Young Lord right now actually went to meet it head-on.

This was going to forcefully resist a Saint King!

While terrified, they were also incomparably shocked, the blood within their bodies churning.

"Forcefully resisting the pressure of a Saint King... The Young Lord must be crazy!" one iron guard thought to himself.

His heart was trembling, and his words were suppressed by that terrifying Aura to the point where he couldn't spit them out.

"If the Young Lord meets with any misfortune, we are afraid we will be expelled from the Jiang Clan!" the other iron guard said with a worried expression.

"I have come to comprehend the Dao... Bystanders step aside, otherwise... death!" Xie Wushang strolled away, his gaze indifferent and merciless.

Those cold words spat out from his mouth were like the sound of the Great Dao, ethereal and carrying an unquestionable flavor.

At the same time, he slowly raised his hand and pointed toward the Void Realm ahead. A cold light bloomed at his fingertips, and the majestic Qi of Taiyin was like a long river, rolling angrily forward, directly freezing all the flames rolled out by that fire Luan ahead.

The chilling Aura at his fingertips arrived in an instant, filling the Void Realm.

In just an instant, that fire Luan was sealed in ice, and shattered to pieces by the impact of a majestic wave of chilling Aura.

"This power, is it the Peak of the Saint King Realm?"

Opposite him, the Saint King of the Tianyang Holy Land, Zhou Tai, felt a chill in his heart as he felt the flames around his body extinguishing.

A wave rolled over, but it carried the power of a domain field, as if it wanted to freeze the heaven and earth, causing even his Primordial Spirit to tremble.

Zhou Tai hurriedly retreated at extreme speed, but his body was still frozen by the power of ice.
