560: The heritage of worshipping celebrities

The last time Yang Dian left Canglan Star, he had Zero deploy many nanobots to collect information on the Great Azure and Chongmings.

Unfortunately, the harvest was meager.

On Chongming Star, the Heavenly Saint, Yin Demon, and Destroy God Sects dominated the Realm. Apart from their disciples, all other Cultivators were considered Loose Cultivators.

Their Legacies were limited, not to mention that these Loose Cultivators didn't even know there was such a towering tree on Chongming Star.

As for the three Sects...

They had protective Sect formations, and the nanobots tried every method but couldn't get inside.

Furthermore, the Cultivators who left the Sects all communicated via Divine Sense.

Therefore, Yang Dian's knowledge of Chongming Star was limited to a map of Chongming Star and a few words and characters.

As for Taichu Star, the situation was slightly better than Chongming Star, but not by much.

All in all, to obtain information about both stars, they still had to pry open the mouths of the local Sect Cultivators.

Now that someone had delivered themselves to his doorstep, Yang Dian naturally wanted to ask for a clear explanation first.

Liu Qiaoer, who was beside him, heard Yang Dian ask about the towering giant tree, and her expression changed slightly.

But thinking of her current predicament, she still honestly said:

"That is the shantong tree, a shantong tree that was born with the Realm when heaven and earth first opened. It is the Origin of our Chongming Cultivation world."

Yang Dian raised an eyebrow:

"I didn't ask you its name. I want to know its purpose."

Undoubtedly, anything targeted by the Little Star God must be a good thing.

For example, the World Tree on Lingwen Star, which could nurture Star-Patrolling Realm level life forms.

Now that it had targeted the shantong tree, Yang Dian naturally wanted to know its purpose.

If he could find a way to transplant the shantong tree and secretly move it to Earth, that would be even better.

Liu Qiaoer heard Yang Dian suddenly speak, and she flinched as if startled. Then she secretly glanced at Yang Dian before speaking:

"The shantong tree is the divine tree of my Chongming Realm. Its branches, leaves, and fruits all have divine effects."

"Every year in spring and summer, the shantong tree's leaves turn green. At this time, the leaves are called qingtong leaves. When steeped in water and consumed, they can strengthen the Soul."

Hearing the words "strengthen the Soul," Yang Dian subconsciously raised an eyebrow:

"Strengthen the Soul?"

"Strengthen the Divine Soul?"

Liu Qiaoer secretly glanced at Yang Dian again, then nodded:

"Yes, it has the effect of strengthening the Divine Soul."

"When I first stepped into Cultivation, I received a qingtong leaf from my Sect. After steeping it in water and consuming it, I only felt my senses sharpen."

"From my current perspective, it means that after I consumed the qingtong leaf, my Divine Soul strength increased by more than double."

As she spoke, she said with a hint of nostalgia:

"It's a pity that since then, I have never obtained a second qingtong leaf."

Yang Dian made a decision in his heart.

'This kind of treasure that can enhance the foundation of an entire populace must be transplanted to Huaxia…'

'If qingtong leaves can only be monopolized by some powerful individuals on Chongming Star, or moved by the Little Star God to its own head as a hair ornament, that would be too wasteful.'

Just as Yang Dian was pondering how to move the shantong tree, Liu Qiaoer continued:

"In autumn and winter, the shantong tree's leaves turn bronze. If picked at this time and steeped in water for consumption, they can strengthen the body and are a supreme treasure for Body Cultivators to improve their strength."

As another reason to transplant the shantong tree arose, Liu Qiaoer's words were not yet finished:

"Besides the green and yellow leaves, the shantong tree occasionally grows leaves of other colors. Each color of leaf has unique miraculous effects, and some special leaves can even help people comprehend the Dao and understand Divine Abilities."

"In addition to the leaves, the shantong tree also bears shantong fruits. The fruits are top-grade Artifact Refining Materials."

"When refining an artifact, just adding one shantong fruit, or even just a little fruit peel powder, can elevate the quality of the Magical Artifact to a higher level."

"Oh, and whenever we initiate a Realm war, the shantong tree will extend its roots into the foreign Realm, extract the foreign Realm's Origin, and condense special divine fruits."

"It's just that the divine fruits are all divided among the Old Ancestors. Without Immortal Ascension, one doesn't even have the chance to come into contact with the divine fruits."

Yang Dian, who had already decided to transplant the shantong tree back to Earth, heard the word 'Immortal' and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What is an Immortal? What great power does an Immortal possess?"

"An Immortal can pluck stars and seize the moon, live as long as the heavens, traverse the starry sky alone, and possess world-destroying power."

Yang Dian understood.

The Immortals on Chongming Star were equivalent to the Star Remains Realm in his Realm division.

'So if I were placed on Chongming Star, I would also be considered an Immortal, big or small?'

As this thought arose, Yang Dian continued to ask:

"How many Immortals are there in your Chongming Realm?"

"I don't know."

Liu Qiaoer answered honestly:

"I only know that our lineage's Old Ancestor is a Human Immortal who has just stepped onto the path of Immortality. The strongest in the Sect, the Grand Elder, is a Heavenly Immortal."

"Besides our Heavenly Saint Sect's Grand Elder, the Grand Elders of the Destroy God Sect and the Yin Demon Sect are also Heavenly Immortal Realm Immortals."

"Between a Heavenly Immortal and a Human Immortal, there is also an Earth Immortal Realm."

As Liu Qiaoer's voice fell, Yang Dian frowned slightly.

This was a bit tricky.

Without a reference point, he didn't know how strong the so-called Heavenly Immortal, Earth Immortal, and Human Immortal truly were.

'It's just that Yu Tian, that guy, clearly knew the coordinates of Chongming Star, but didn't dare to invade. It must be because he wasn't confident in taking down Chongming Star.'

'And Chongming Star didn't discover Yu Tian's prying before, and even had its coordinate information collected by Yu Tian. It suggests that the strongest in the Realm, even if they are stronger than Yu Fei, should only be marginally stronger.'

'Yu Fei is equivalent to the Late Stage Star Remains Realm. Perhaps the Heavenly Immortals are too?'

'They shouldn't possess the combat power of the Stellar Ancestor, right?'

'If they did, they wouldn't be cooped up on Chongming Star with no activity now…'

Thinking of this, Yang Dian simply asked again:

"You are the Saintess of the Heavenly Saint Sect? Then do you know how many Cultivators there are in the Heavenly Saint Sect, and how many of them are Artifact Refiners, Alchemists, Talisman Masters, and other skilled Cultivators?"

Liu Qiaoer quickly shook her head:

"Senior, 'Heavenly Saint Sect Saintess' is just a title I gave myself when I went out to travel."

"My actual identity is a candidate Saintess of Qinghe Peak in the Heavenly Saint Sect."

"There are at least seven or eight hundred Holy Sons and Holy Maidens like me in the Sect."

"To become a true Saintess, I am either Cultivating or doing missions, so how would I know such information."

Indeed, when traveling, one's identity is often self-proclaimed.

However, hearing Liu Qiaoer say that there were at least seven or eight hundred Holy Sons and Holy Maidens like her, Yang Dian couldn't help but be surprised.

"There are at least seven or eight hundred like you in your Heavenly Saint Sect?"

What was Liu Qiaoer's strength?

She was close to the limit of the Star Dome Realm, feeling as if she only needed to take that final step to Breakthrough to the Star Remains Realm and possess star-destroying power.

If all the other Holy Sons and Holy Maidens possessed such strength...

Then Yang Dian would have to re-evaluate the strength of Chongming Star.

After all, the strong are always strong in a cliff-like manner.

If there were so many at the peak of the Star Dome Realm, how strong could the truly powerful individuals of Chongming Star be?

As if guessing Yang Dian's surprise, Liu Qiaoer pondered for a few moments and then honestly said:

"My strength is among the top ten of all the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens."

"Most of the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens are not as strong as I am."
