128: Cangling Ancient Tree

Luo Chen looked at the Ancient Wood Spirit Realm Shuttle Card in the system store; he had been curious about this item for a long time.

Now that he had enough points, he definitely had to try it.

“System, buy me an Ancient Wood Spirit Realm Shuttle Card.”

Five hundred and fifty points were deducted by the system, and a card, made of an unknown material, appeared in Luo Chen’s hand.

In the very center of the card, a giant tree, outlined by wisps of silk threads, occupied the entire card face.

Both sides of the card were identical. Luo Chen turned it over and over several times but couldn’t discern anything special about it.

He had to cautiously ask the system in his mind first,

“System, if I use this card to enter the Ancient Wood Spirit Realm, will there be any danger to my life?”

System: “No, you can think of that place as another Illusion World. However, all your gains inside will be brought back for you by me through a special method.”

Luo Chen then relaxed, “So, is it also like the Illusion World, where I can bring my contracted beasts with me?”

“Yes, otherwise, how would you, a helpless individual, survive in the Ancient Wood Spirit Realm? Though, even with those two, you wouldn’t last very long.”

The system’s blatant sarcasm left Luo Chen speechless. Even though he was a King Rank existence now, in the system’s eyes, he still seemed like cannon fodder.

“How do I use this?”

“Cover the card with your spiritual power and activate the ancient wood.”

The system paused, then chose to remind Luo Chen, “An Ancient Wood Spirit Realm Shuttle Card has only one use.

Whether you choose to exit yourself or return due to death, this Ancient Wood Spirit Realm Shuttle Card will be consumed.”

Luo Chen held the Ancient Wood Spirit Realm Shuttle Card in front of him,

“No worries, it’s just five hundred and fifty points. I can afford to waste it. Now, I’m going to shuttle.”

Ever since the daily tasks allowed him to earn points, Luo Chen could finally say this with confidence.

His spiritual power clung to the card, and then he saw the ancient wood on the card light up inch by inch.

Luo Chen’s consciousness seemed to pass through a door, arriving at an upper layer of space-time.

He ‘saw’ distorted space constantly receding around him, and stars cycling through extinction and rebirth under the shifting sands of time.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Chen once again felt a physical body.

When he opened his eyes, the surroundings had already changed completely.

Luo Chen composed himself and carefully examined the space he was in. Luo Chen pushed aside the branches and leaves obstructing his view and noticed that his vantage point was quite high.

He seemed to be on a tree trunk, but the trunk was so wide that he initially thought he was on flat ground.

Luo Chen slowly scanned his surroundings and found that it was relatively quiet, not appearing to be dangerous.

It seemed the system was quite reliable and hadn’t directly thrown him into some perilous place.

Just like in the Illusion World, he successfully summoned the two little ones here as well.

The little furball sat on Little Dot’s back, curiously observing the surroundings with synchronized eyes, but without any confusion.

It seemed that by frequently entering the Illusion World, the two little ones probably thought they had come to the Illusion World this time too, only with a significant change in environment.

Luo Chen patted the heads of the two little ones, “You two, treat this place as an unknown secret realm where terrifying dangers can appear at any moment, so we must proceed cautiously.”

Seeing that both little ones nodded carefully, understanding the meaning of his words, Luo Chen continued to examine the surroundings.

First, he looked up at the sun in the sky.

Goodness, there were three here: one red, one green, and one white.

These three suns formed a tripod-like stance, casting all their light down.

Then, Luo Chen stood on this ancient tree and strained to look into the distance. Besides seeing endless varieties of lush green branches and leaves, he also noticed that the surrounding ancient trees were not uniform in height.

Their appearances also varied; some shot straight up into the sky, while others twisted and turned as if imitating other animals.

Of course, there weren’t only plants here. Luo Chen also saw various birds and monkeys occasionally flying or leaping through the trees.

Everything looked peaceful until Luo Chen suddenly noticed a reddish-brown vine shoot up, piercing a bird.

The bird instantly turned into withered bones, and Luo Chen suddenly realized that this place was probably not as peaceful and safe as it appeared on the surface.

Luo Chen leaned his hand on the branch and used his Eye of Truth talent to look at the towering ancient tree he was standing on.

The bad news was that he couldn’t see anything. It was highly likely that this ancient wood far exceeded Luo Chen’s current observation limit, meaning it should now be at a realm above Wild Rank beasts.

The good news was that he had been standing on it for so long, and it had no desire to attack, so perhaps this ancient wood was the kind that was gentle and reclusive.

Luo Chen went to the edge of the branch and looked down, but the view below was also obscured by dense branches and leaves, making it impossible to accurately determine how high he was from the ground.

He estimated that even if he were to land on the ground now, given the State of the surrounding trees, it would be pitch black and sunless.

He decided to stay at this height, be cautious, and slowly move through.

Luo Chen casually plucked the branches and leaves in front of him and then quietly put them into his storage bracelet.

However, Luo Chen’s actions seemed to have completely failed to attract the attention of this ancient wood.

Luo Chen didn’t dare to be greedy, stopping after picking a few leaves, then his gaze turned to the nearest tree, which didn’t look very tall.

Fortunately, this time he was finally able to see its information.

race: Azure Spirit Ancient Tree

Rank: Wild Rank Three-star

Type: Wood Type

State: Dormant

Aptitude: Excellent

Skills: 1. Rooting (Profound Tier)…

2. Lash (Profound Tier)…

3. Myriad Leaves, Thousand Streams (Earth Tier): The Azure Spirit Ancient Tree controls the branches and leaves on its body to sweep the target.

4. Wood Leaf Shield (Profound Tier): The Azure Spirit Ancient Tree condenses a protective Wood Leaf Shield on the outside of the target’s body, providing defense against energy or physical damage.

5. Guardian Spirit (Earth Tier): The Azure Spirit Ancient Tree will contract a maximum of three different races as its Guardian Spirits. It will protect the growth and reproduction of its Guardian Spirits, and the Guardian Spirits will, in turn, protect its safety.

6. azure spirit fruit (Earth Tier): The Azure Spirit Ancient Tree only produces a batch of azure spirit fruit after a period of time. azure spirit fruit has a very high probability of enabling other contracted beasts to awaken new talent Skills (effective for Wild Rank and below, and a contracted beast can only consume it once in its lifetime).

7. Thousand Wood Prison (Earth Tier): Domain Skill. The Azure Spirit Ancient Tree causes the trees in the target area to grow rapidly. Within the Thousand Wood Prison, Tenacity vines and trees will grow intermittently to attack or bind the target.

8. Myriad Leaves Falling (Earth Tier): Instant Wither and Flourish. The Azure Spirit Ancient Tree causes the Wood Type elements in the target area to fall into dormancy. All Wood Type Skills, except its own, have their effects halved.

9. Wood Spirit Liquid (Profound Tier): The Azure Spirit Ancient Tree secretes a healing sap from its branches, which can greatly enhance the vitality of the target’s body and promote wound repair.

Luo Chen swallowed, looking at the faintly visible fruits among the branches of the Azure Spirit Ancient Tree. Seeing their immense number, he wondered if taking two wouldn’t wake up that Azure Spirit Ancient Tree.

Then, Luo Chen looked back at the ancient tree behind him. Speaking of which, the one next to him looked very similar to that one and should belong to the same race.

So, where were the fruits of the ancient tree he was currently on? Would their effects be even stronger?

Luo Chen patted Overturning Sea Cloud Whale Little Dot’s head and pointed to the fruit of the Azure Spirit Ancient Tree.

Then, he made a series of arrangements in his mind and looked at him inquiringly,

Luo Chen: Did you understand?

Little Dot nodded with firm eyes, indicating that he had understood all of Luo Chen’s arrangements.

Little Dot swayed his body, slowly moving through the branches and leaves of the Azure Spirit Ancient Tree, trying not to make a single sound.

The distance between the two ancient trees was not very far. Little Dot quickly arrived below the oval-shaped fruit, looking left and right like a thief.

After not finding any danger, Little Dot condensed a wisp of Wind Blade and cut towards the stem connecting the azure spirit fruit to the ancient wood.

‘Clang’

A sound like metal striking stone rang out. This stem was much harder than imagined, and Little Dot’s Wind Blade failed to cut it off.

An emotion called Tenacity appeared in Little Dot’s eyes. At the same time, he condensed a larger Wind Blade and fiercely cut down towards the stem.

This time it finally worked. The stem finally broke, and Little Dot took the opportunity to put the fruit into his personal space.

Little Dot’s mouth curved upwards, a silent smile appearing on his face. He then rushed towards another fruit not far from him.

Thus, Little Dot shuttled through the branches and leaves, happily harvesting fruits one by one.

But the good times didn’t last long. The harvested ancient wood seemed to have been awakened by the disappearance of these fruits.

Among the verdant branches and leaves, elongated branches suddenly shot out, lashing towards Little Dot.
