242: Final preparations, guidance from the sacred tree

“I hope he can comprehend it!”

The Jianmu Divine Tree said in a deep voice. Comprehending Divine Abilities is extremely difficult. Even a Peerless Genius would spend a lot of time to fully grasp them.

After all,

this thing is closely related to Reaching Heaven Realm powerhouses.

And a complete Divine Ability, even a minor one, is far beyond what Qiankun martial arts can compare to. Its power is immense, and at the same time, comprehending it is naturally extremely difficult.

However,

he only has one day before the Demon Pú Tree will control his body again. He doesn't know if he'll make it in time.

He can only gamble!

He looked at the ancient hall. Ninety-nine percent of the people were completely lost, with only a few individuals comprehending a few words or half-sentences. Among them, Fu Yunxuan was the most outstanding, but she was still very far from fully comprehending it.

It seems it was still too much to ask.

Suddenly!

The Jianmu Divine Tree's eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

“Hmm?”

“This is—the Five-Wheeled Thunder Fire Method!”

What kind of Peerless Prodigy is this!

It hadn't even been a short while.

Yet, Chu Jiang had already comprehended a Divine Ability.

Did he just see things? Was Chu Jiang a Peerless Genius, and he just hadn't realized it?

“Young friend, your talent is truly unparalleled. Even five thousand years ago, I fear few could compare to you!”

The Jianmu Divine Tree praised. What a pity. If he had been born five thousand years ago, he would have had the potential to reach the Reaching Heaven Realm. Now, the upper limit of heaven and earth has been locked, and the Heaven and Earth Realm is the ultimate.

No matter how Heaven-Defying your talent, there is no way to break the rules.

“Just lucky!”

Chu Jiang responded simply.

Jianmu Divine Tree: “…” ∑(❍ฺд❍ฺlll)

Do you want to see what you're saying? You're making my Divine Ability seem quite cheap.

Fu Yunxuan and the others beside him weren't too surprised. They were already used to seeing their lord create miracles.

“Senior, do you have any Nine Revolutions Golden Pills or Enlightenment Leaves here?”

Chu Jiang's figure came beside the Jianmu Divine Tree and asked.

He originally thought there would be Nine Revolutions Golden Pills here to help his subordinates improve their strength, and Enlightenment Leaves to comprehend the Palm World Divine Ability.

Now, it seemed the Demon Pú Tree was just spouting nonsense again.

“Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, I have one… As for Enlightenment Leaves, I truly do not have any!”

The Jianmu Divine Tree honestly said that Enlightenment Leaves only grow on the Bodhi Ancient Tree and can allow a person to comprehend the Dao in a single day, making them extremely rare.

“One?”

Chu Jiang raised an eyebrow. He had an agreement with Yu Xu Palace back then that no matter the harvest, Yu Xu Palace would only ask for one Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, and all other treasures would belong to him.

This was commonly known as a guaranteed minimum.

Now it seemed, the older the ginger, the spicier it was.

Within the Secret Realm, there were too many variables.

Truth and falsehood were difficult to distinguish.

The barrier-breaking immortal fruit was fake, and Yu Xu Palace's thousand-year plan was also a deception. Whether it was powerful martial artists or demons, there were some cunning and calculating individuals.

They would scheme directly from your ancestors' generation.

“There are a few Eight Revolutions Golden Pills, but only this one Nine Revolutions Golden Pill!”

Over thousands of years, to resist the invasion of the Demon Pú Tree, he had almost depleted everything, leaving only a few scattered resources.

He saw.

The Jianmu Divine Tree lightly waved his palm, and five Eight Revolutions Golden Pills and one Nine Revolutions Golden Pill flew into Chu Jiang's hand.

Soon,

Chu Jiang called Xuan Yi over.

He was preparing to give Yu Xu Palace two Eight Revolutions Golden Pills in exchange for that Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, as a gesture for their help.

“Chu Garrison Envoy, absolutely not! Since this was originally a deception, with no so-called Nine Revolutions Golden Pills or Enlightenment Leaves, then the agreement is naturally void!”

“Please take back these Eight Revolutions Golden Pills!”

Xuan Yi decisively refused. Strictly speaking, it was his Yu Xu Palace that had deceived Chu Jiang, making him come for nothing, even though it wasn't their intention.

Now, how could they accept his Golden Pills? They could only blame fate for playing a joke on Yu Xu Palace.

“If I give it to you, just take it. Don't waste words!”

Chu Jiang waved his hand, and two Eight Revolutions Golden Pills fell into Xuan Yi's hand. If he were dealing with enemies, he would naturally be fickle and torment them however he pleased.

But Yu Xu Palace was not an enemy.

Since he had an agreement with them, he couldn't directly break it.

“This… Alright!”

“Then, on behalf of Yu Xu Palace, I thank Chu Garrison Envoy for his great kindness. If there are any future requests, my Yu Xu Palace will definitely follow Chu Garrison Envoy and the Demon Suppression Division!”

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Xuan Yi also put on a quick display of human etiquette.

“Fu Yunxuan!”

“Subordinate is here!”

“This Nine Revolutions Golden Pill can allow you to directly advance to Transcendent. As for the other Eight Revolutions Golden Pills, you can distribute them as you wish!”

The Eight Revolutions Golden Pills were not bad either. Ordinary people who took them could directly step into the Peerless Grandmaster Realm. If someone with some foundation took them, their improvement would be even more drastic, with a certain probability of breaking through to Transcendent.

Chu Jiang said with a smile.

“My lord, this… My lord should take it himself. It’s too precious!” Fu Yunxuan looked at the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. It was clearly obtained through an agreement with Yu Xu Palace.

“Take it. Didn't you say you wanted to help this lord? Once you advance to Transcendent, you will be helping me. Moreover, this Nine Revolutions Golden Pill is useless to me now!”

“Taking it would be a waste of heavenly treasures!”

Chu Jiang said with a light smile.

“Thank you, my lord!”

Fu Yunxuan said gratefully. She had only mentioned it casually last time, but she didn't expect her lord to remember.

Although her expression was still calm, it was evident that she was very happy.

“Sit down. I will help you refine this Nine Revolutions Golden Pill!”

“Mm…”

Fu Yunxuan nodded.

As the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill entered her mouth, Fu Yunxuan felt an unimaginably vast and extremely pure energy flow down her throat and into her body.

This Nine Revolutions Golden Pill not only contained immense energy but also a large amount of Concept, equivalent to a Peerless expert imparting cultivation.

The medicinal effect of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill was gentle, not wild. Chu Jiang merely accelerated the refining process.

Fu Yunxuan's cultivation soared.

Golden Core First Level, Golden Core Second Level… Golden Core Tenth Level.

It wasn't until Divine Power Third Level that the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill's energy was completely exhausted.

“Not bad!”

Chu Jiang said with satisfaction.

As expected of a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, it directly advanced her two Realms.

Even an ordinary person taking a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill could advance to Transcendent. Fu Yunxuan was already at the Peerless Grandmaster Realm, so breaking through two Realms was relatively normal.

If Wang Chao, Ma Han, and the others were to use the Demon Refining Liquid to advance to Peerless Grandmaster, and then take an Eight Revolutions Golden Pill, there would be a ninety percent chance of them advancing to Transcendent.

…

After a short while.

The Jianmu Divine Tree took out a Storage Pouch and handed it to Chu Jiang, “Inside is a Fourth-Grade Dragon Blood Pill, which can directly advance you one level, and these dozen or so Third-Grade Spirit Medicines. Take as much as you can!”

“Thank you, Senior!”

Chu Jiang didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it directly.

“You want Enlightenment Leaves to comprehend the Five-Wheeled Thunder Fire Method?” the Jianmu Divine Tree asked.

“You could say that.”

Chu Jiang didn't deny it.

“If your Divine Ability proficiency is higher, your chances will indeed be greater. You refine it first. Before I fall into slumber, I will condense three of my Natal Divine Leaves to give you a final push!”

The Jianmu Divine Tree said in a deep voice.

“This will accelerate your death!” Chu Jiang naturally understood that for the Jianmu Divine Tree, Natal Divine Leaves contained the Divine Tree's Origin, which was infinitely more precious than a Human Race's essence blood.

“I no longer care about life and death. I only hope you can slay the Demon Pú Tree, and then I will have died for a worthy cause!” The Jianmu Divine Tree had already come to terms with life and death. His current persistence was solely to eliminate the great threat of the Demon Pú Tree.

“Time is limited. Deep within the ancient hall, there is a place for secluded cultivation. You go and refine it first!”

Chu Jiang nodded.

“Also, if Senior has time, you could also give some pointers to these few subordinates of mine!”

Chu Jiang turned and said with a smile. The Jianmu Divine Tree had lived for at least five thousand years, a Peerless expert who had once battled Demon King-level powerhouses. His guidance was something that could only be found by chance.

The Jianmu Divine Tree agreed, indicating that Chu Jiang could rest assured. He indeed had several Human Race expert Legacies, and although they couldn't compare to the Five-Wheeled Thunder Fire Method Divine Ability, they were still rare Legacies.

Even if Chu Jiang hadn't mentioned it, he would have passed them down.

After Chu Jiang left.

“Meeting is fate. This is a small parting gift from me to everyone!”

The Jianmu Divine Tree looked at the crowd, waved his hand, and everyone received a Three Revolutions Golden Pill.

“Thank you, Senior!”

Everyone quickly expressed their gratitude. As expected of the legendary Jianmu Divine Tree, he was generous with his gifts.

Although the Three Revolutions Golden Pill couldn't compare to the Eight or Nine Revolutions Golden Pills, breaking through a few minor Realms was effortless.

“You few, follow me!”

The Jianmu Divine Tree looked at Fu Yunxuan, Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhao Hu, and the others.

“Yes, Senior!”

The few of them followed.

…

Soon, the four entered a hazy space.

Each person was separated individually.

“What do you want?”

The Jianmu Divine Tree looked at Wang Chao.

“Senior, whatever you wish. I will learn whatever you impart!”

Wang Chao cupped his hands.

“I have a friend who is skilled in Formations, named Ling Xuzi, Pill King!”

“He left behind a Formation Plate called ‘Ling Xu,’ and a Formation Secret Manual, ‘Ling Xu Formation Diagram.’”

“Today, I will pass it on to you!”

The Jianmu Divine Tree observed his steady character and thus imparted this Dao of Formations to him.

…

“I have a friend… who is skilled in the Dao of Assassination!”

Zhao Hu was imparted the Dao of Assassination, Void Realm Art, to kill invisibly.

“I have a friend… who is skilled in the Dao of Defense, unbreakable!”

Ma Han was imparted the Xuanwu Golden Body, following the path of physical brute force.

…

“What about you? What do you want?”

The Jianmu Divine Tree quietly looked at Fu Yunxuan.

“I want to quickly become stronger and then help my lord. Every time, he faces danger alone. I don't want to always stand behind him. Please, Senior, help me!”

Fu Yunxuan said sincerely.

“There is something, but it will involve enduring pain that ordinary people cannot bear… Your talent is good, and you can become stronger by following the normal progression!” The Jianmu Divine Tree said with a frown.

“No matter what pain, I can bear it!” Fu Yunxuan said decisively.

“Alright!”

“Since you insist, I have an enemy named Tian Du Nu…”
