Chapter 14: Fusang Divine Wood, Ye Chen's Emotional Breakdown

In Nan Gong Qiyue's hand was a golden branch, about ten feet long, imbued with unimaginable Fire-Wood Spiritual Qi and an extremely rich aura of the sun, as if it were an Incarnation of the sun!

Gu Shengge, with his vast knowledge, recognized the true identity of this golden branch at a glance.

It was actually a branch from the Fusang Divine Wood, the Sun Divine Tree.

A long time ago, in the Qiongsang Domain, there was a Fusang Divine Wood as tall as the heavens. Its branches extended into the boundless Void Realm, and legend had it that they had reached the Immortal Realm, feeding on Immortal Spiritual Qi. The Great Sun Golden Crow clan resided on its branches.

But for some unknown reason, perhaps because the Fusang Divine Wood absorbed too much Immortal Spiritual Qi, it provoked the wrath of the Immortal Realm. Five Immortals descended to the Lower Realm, intending to chop down the Fusang.

The five Immortals and the Great Sun Golden Crow clan, who guarded the Fusang, engaged in a prolonged great battle.

However, even the Great Sun Golden Crows, empowered by the Fusang, were no match for the Immortals from the Upper Realm.

Ultimately, the Great Sun Golden Crow clan was almost annihilated, and two Immortals on the Immortal side also perished. The Fusang was still chopped down by the remaining three Immortals, and its trunk was taken back to the Immortal Realm.

Gu Shengge had not expected that a Fusang Divine Wood still existed in the world, which was a pleasant surprise.

This was a supreme treasure of Fire-Wood spiritual objects!

While Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves were precious, they had a price; one could still buy them if they were willing to spend Spirit Stones.

But the Fusang Divine Wood was a priceless treasure, rarely found in the world!

Ye Chen, hiding behind Nan Gong Qiyue, did not recognize what the golden branch was, but seeing Gu Shengge's surprised expression, he knew it was an extraordinary treasure.

This made Ye Chen grit his teeth in hatred; that treasure should have been his!

“Is this Fusang Divine Wood enough to compensate you for your loss?”

Nan Gong Qiyue's face showed a pained expression. If it weren't to save Ye Chen, she would never have been willing to take out such a supreme treasure.

Gu Shengge nodded in satisfaction: “Naturally, it is enough.”

He took the Fusang Divine Wood into his hand, unable to put it down. The displeasure he felt from his Spiritual Field being ruined and his Immortal Cave being occupied vanished into thin air.

With this Fusang Divine Wood, Gu Shengge had a seventy percent chance of transforming the Zhurong Sacred Pill and the Gou Mang Sacred Pill into Divine Nascent Souls.

At that time, with three Ancestral Witch Divine Nascent Souls in his body, he would be able to steadily win even against a stronger Soul Transformation Celestial Being.

“I'm sorry, Senior Sister Qiyue, I made you lose a supreme treasure.”

Ye Chen looked at Gu Shengge, who couldn't suppress his smile. On the surface, he showed an apologetic expression to Nan Gong Qiyue, but inwardly, he hated Gu Shengge to death, while also continuing to transmit his thoughts to Nan Gong Qiyue.

[I truly deserve to die, to have caused Senior Sister Qiyue to lose a supreme treasure. Such great kindness, I have no way to repay it. Senior Sister Qiyue, rest assured, once I fully comprehend the Heavenly Book, I will surely secure a glorious future for you and help you achieve Dao Immortal Ascension!]

After hearing Ye Chen's thoughts, Nan Gong Qiyue felt quite relieved. She lightly waved her jade hand: “It's nothing. Although the Fusang Divine Wood is precious, it cannot compare to your life.”

Gu Shengge put away the Fusang Divine Wood. Seeing Ye Chen and Nan Gong Qiyue so intimate, his confusion deepened.

From Ye Chen's self-introduction to Nan Gong Qiyue earlier, it was clear they were meeting for the first time.

Yet, after only a short period, Nan Gong Qiyue had even taken out the Fusang Divine Wood for Ye Chen.

It seemed he had underestimated the strangeness surrounding Ye Chen.

Gu Shengge glanced at the Immortal Cave. He figured everything inside had already been ruined by Ye Chen, so there was no need to go in again. It was better to return to Daozi Peak.

The most urgent task now was to quickly refine the Fusang Divine Wood and Breakthrough to three Divine Nascent Souls.

As for Ye Chen, that could be put aside for now.

As long as Gu Shengge formed three Divine Nascent Souls, even if Ye Chen could find a Soul Transformation Celestial Being as a backer, he would still be able to suppress him with his own strength!

Any backer or helper was ultimately unreliable.

One must be strong oneself.

“It seems we arrived late, did we miss a good show?”

A clear voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears. The next moment, two figures silently appeared before them, none other than Emperor Yang and Sect Leader Yin.

Upon seeing Sect Leader Yin, Nan Gong Qiyue quickly cupped her hands and bowed: “Disciple greets Revered Master.”

Sect Leader Yin smiled at her, her gaze falling on Ye Chen. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She and Emperor Yang had arrived early and witnessed the entire process.

Her own Disciple had taken out the Fusang Divine Wood for a male Disciple she had only recently met.

Sect Leader Yin certainly wouldn't believe there was no problem here.

Originally, she wanted to capture Ye Chen to investigate his peculiarity, but Emperor Yang stopped her.

Emperor Yang also noticed Ye Chen's strangeness, but he considered more factors.

Firstly, this Ye Chen was Tantai Qingxuan's Disciple, and it was up to her, as his Revered Master, to handle the matter.

Secondly, Ye Chen had a conflict with Gu Shengge. Based on his understanding of that child, Ye Chen was bound to die, so there was no need to waste effort on Ye Chen.

“Boy, you came back and didn't even tell me. What, do you think I'm still thinking about your monkey wine and you're afraid to see me?”

Emperor Yang joked with a smile, completely avoiding the topic of the conflict between him and Ye Chen.

Gu Shengge was in a good mood at this time and said magnanimously: “Uncle Mu, what are you saying? Do I look like such a petty person? It's just monkey wine; I'll send you a few jars later.”

Emperor Yang heard this and smiled: “You said it, then I won't be polite.”

Just as the two were chatting happily, Ye Chen looked at Sect Leader Yin and communicated with the thought transmission System, asking it to add Sect Leader Yin as a thought recipient.

[Ding ~ Sect Leader Yin's cultivation has reached Soul Transformation First Heaven, her strength exceeds the host's by three major Realms. Addition failed. Only Cultivators at Golden Core Great Perfection can be added at most. Please improve host's cultivation.]

Ye Chen was greatly shocked: “What! Then why was I able to add Tantai Qingxuan before?”

[Ding ~ The first addition of a thought recipient has no Realm limit.]

“Damn it! Why didn't you remind me! If I had known this, I would never have chosen Tantai Qingxuan even if it killed me!”

Ye Chen completely broke down. He strongly felt that the System had terribly scammed him, wasting a limitless addition and forced interference opportunity for nothing.

Sensing Ye Chen's gaze, Sect Leader Yin was slightly displeased. She sternly instructed Nan Gong Qiyue:

“Qiyue, you are a Saintess. In the future, you can only marry the Daozi. Do not lose your status for irrelevant people.”

“I understand, Revered Master.” Nan Gong Qiyue was startled at first, then indicated that she understood, and her mood became somewhat low.

Seeing this, Ye Chen, regardless of his exasperation, quickly began to transmit his thoughts to her.

[Senior Sister Qiyue is so pitiful, being forced by her Revered Master to marry someone who schemes against her. Senior Sister, wait for me. Give me some time, and I will definitely not let you marry that scoundrel Gu Shengge!]

Upon hearing this, Nan Gong Qiyue's mood gradually improved.

Subsequently, Sect Leader Yin took Nan Gong Qiyue and the others away, while Gu Shengge went with Emperor Yang to his Daozi Peak to get the monkey wine for Emperor Yang.

However, what Gu Shengge didn't expect was that Tantai Qingxuan also followed along.

When Ye Chen saw everyone leave, he quickly went to check on Su Youwei and Lin Wan'er's condition.

But what he touched were two corpses that were still warm. Gu Shengge's Heavy Pupil gaze was not something two ants, who weren't even Nascent Soul Cultivators, could withstand.

Su Youwei and Lin Wan'er's Souls were shattered, and they didn't even have a chance for Reincarnation.

Ye Chen angrily kicked their corpses, cursing incessantly.

“Two pieces of trash! You couldn't even withstand a single glance from that Gu fellow, you deserve to die!”

However, feeling that Su Youwei and Lin Wan'er's corpses still had some residual warmth, Ye Chen had evil thoughts again…
