154: Starry Sky Divine Tree! A frenzied resonance!
The banquet proceeded as usual.
From time to time, people would come over to converse with Gu Chen.
However, no one came to cause trouble for him.
Those present were all Young Men of status and reputation.
Everyone had their own sense of dignity.
After Ye Qingxuan finished toasting with everyone, she came to Gu Chen's side to share her joy. This scene made many young men grit their teeth in envy.
"By the way, whatever you do, don't leave early. The highlight of this banquet is still to come," Ye Qingxuan said to Gu Chen with a mysterious air. Gu Chen didn't know what she was up to, so he could only nod.
After Ye Qingxuan left to find Ye Xiao on the first floor,
Jiang Hui, who had been chatting with Gu Chen earlier, walked over with a sheepish expression.
"You fellow..." Jiang Hui marveled at his own eye for talent.
With one pick,
he had actually selected Gu Chen, who was hailed as the strongest Genius in the history of the Xia Kingdom.
After all, he never could have imagined that Gu Chen would appear at Ye Qingxuan's celebration banquet.
To anyone else,
these two people should have been two parallel lines that would never intersect.
He felt that he should have already passed his father's test. As for whether he could rank first, that was uncertain, but at least Gu Chen was already very dazzling, and he had been able to pick the seemingly ordinary Gu Chen out from the entire banquet hall.
He felt that he was definitely in the clear.
Right at that moment, the lights in the entire hall suddenly brightened.
Gu Chen realized that the highlight Ye Qingxuan mentioned was about to begin.
"Tsk tsk, I wonder what the highlight prepared by the Ye family is. Among the Five Great Noble Families, these four are all very mysterious. After all, they are families that reaped massive benefits from the starry sky right at the start of the Xia Kingdom's Martial Artist era. I wonder what good stuff they're bringing out this time." Even Jiang Hui, who was standing nearby, was filled with anticipation.
At this moment, Ye Xiao clapped his hands.
He spoke softly.
"Thank you all for attending my daughter's celebration banquet today. The Ye family is deeply honored. Naturally, our Ye family has prepared a grand gift for everyone today." Ye Xiao's voice was thick and deep. As soon as he finished speaking, whispers broke out throughout the venue.
Everyone seemed to be guessing what the Ye family had prepared.
To make it so mysterious.
"Today, the third floor of the Kong Can Restaurant is a stage for the youth. Among those here today, there are many top-tier talented Martial Artists who have unlocked their genes. The highlight our Ye family has prepared is a starry sky divine wood discovered thirteen years ago in the starry sky."
"starry sky divine wood?"
As soon as these words were spoken,
it immediately caused a massive stir in the hall.
Even the high-level big shots on the first floor could no longer sit still.
"The starry sky divine wood... so the sight of a giant tree covering the stars that was seen in the starry sky back then really was a divine object appearing. It turns out it fell into the hands of the Ye family. The Ye family, 'one tree covering the heavens,' it truly is a perfect match."
"It's said that when the starry sky divine wood first appeared with its anomalies, it gave the Xia Kingdom's Starry Sky Observation Department quite a scare. Some desolate and dead stars grew green vegetation and regained their vitality."
"What exactly is the starry sky divine wood? I've only heard the name, but I don't know its specific effects. The Ye family is playing it this big today? They're bringing out the starry sky divine wood directly?"
Just then,
suddenly, from somewhere within the Kong Can Restaurant, a rustling sound echoed, as if some mysterious organism was growing rapidly. In the blink of an eye, this visual pavilion in the sky was wrapped in branches. Emerald green leaves shimmered with green light, scattering starlight in a magnificent display, making the entire Kong Can Restaurant look as if it had transformed into a brilliant starry curtain.
Everyone was enveloped within it.
Is this the starry sky divine wood?
Gu Chen felt his Divine Prison Gene stirring, as if it had resonated in an instant with the leaves of the starry sky divine wood rustling in the air.
Could the effect of this starry sky divine wood be targeted at genes?
Gu Chen showed a look of pleasant surprise.
"The starry sky divine wood is a divine tree from the starry sky that contains mysterious substances. The starlight shed by its leaves can stimulate the latent power within the human body. Simply put, when a Gene Warrior stands beneath the starry sky divine wood, they can achieve resonance with it, and it will rain down mysterious substances to enhance the Gene Warrior's genes."
starry sky divine wood.
Stimulating genes!
The Ye family had no small number of Gene Warriors.
It likely had everything to do with this starry sky divine wood!
Everyone present showed fervent gazes; this was simply a divine object!
This was a Starry Sky Divine Treasure.
"The more Gene Warriors standing under the starry sky divine wood, the greater the degree to which it is activated. Currently, when activated within the Ye family, the starry sky divine wood has reached a maximum activation of thirteen percent."
Everyone looked at the starry sky divine wood. On its trunk, one could see some bright, blazing runes spreading upward from the roots.
Boom!
As Ye Xiao and the others initiated it,
the starry sky divine wood suddenly began to vibrate.
Countless leaves on it trembled violently, and a sky full of starlight came rustling down.
Crack, crack, crack!
And on that trunk,
runes as brilliant as stars began to light up, like burning lamps, becoming clear in an instant. Swish, swish, swish!
Ye Xiao watched this scene quietly.
However, very quickly,
he suddenly noticed something wrong.
Those runes began to spread upward.
The speed of the spread seemed much faster than before.
Rustle, rustle!
After reaching the ten percent limit, it actually continued to spread upward!
"What's going on?"
"The activation level of the starry sky divine wood has already exceeded fifteen percent!"
"It's still continuing?"
At this moment, members of the Ye family showed looks of astonishment. All the Gene Warriors of their Ye family could only activate the divine wood to thirteen percent at most, yet now it had already reached fifteen percent, and those runes were still being lit and activated like stars, looking exceptionally dazzling and piercing to the eye.
What was happening?
Could it be that there were a huge number of Gene Warriors present today?
That wasn't right!
The Ye family had naturally kept statistics on the Gene Warriors present today; there were seven in total. This wasn't even as many as the Ye family's own Gene Warriors. It should be impossible to cause such a terrifying commotion from the starry sky divine wood!
However, they didn't have time to think further!
Boom, boom, boom!
The starry sky divine wood shook violently.
Star-like runes lit up the entire trunk of the divine wood!
Twenty-five percent!
Thirty percent!
Forty percent!
Swish, swish, swish!
The starry sky divine wood continuously rained down sheets of starlight, and everyone could feel their Physical Bodies frantically absorbing the energy.
And at this moment, Ye Xiao finally reacted.
"No, it's not the quantity."
"It's the quality!"
"There is someone here whose gene has triggered a frenzied resonance from the starry sky divine wood!"
