259: The Tree of Life

“What! This is impossible! Even the Yao Beast we fought earlier wouldn’t dare to take a punch from me like this!”

Dai Dabai looked at Chen Xuan in horror. He hadn’t expected Chen Xuan to be able to grasp his fist so easily.

“Hmph, a mere Early Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator dares to bark here!” Chen Xuan snorted, exerted force with his palm, directly twisted Dai Dabai’s arm, and then kicked him in the chest.

Dai Dabai screamed, his body flew backward, heavily hitting the ground, and a trace of fresh blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

“You’re clearly only at the Early Stage Soul Transformation, how could you be so strong?” Dai Dabai got up, looking at Chen Xuan with disbelief.

“Hmph, this is the gap between you and me!” Chen Xuan sneered, “In front of me, you are nothing but an ant!”

“Impossible! You are only at the Early Stage Soul Transformation. If I used my full strength, I would still have the power to fight. How could you be so powerful!” Dai Dabai shouted loudly.

“Hmph, why should I tell you?” Chen Xuan snorted, walked directly to Dai Dabai’s side, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up.

“You, what do you want to do!” Dai Dabai looked at Chen Xuan in horror. He already felt that he was no match for Chen Xuan at all. He could only be at Chen Xuan’s mercy now.

“What do I want to do? Of course, it’s to retrieve the treasures on your body!”

“White Tiger Mad God!”

Dai Dabai shouted, and his body began to grow larger again. Chen Xuan couldn’t hold him with one hand, so he had to let go.

The moment Chen Xuan let go, Dai Dabai pulled out a Teleportation Talisman, wanting to escape the scene. However, unfortunately, Chen Xuan flicked his finger slightly, and the Teleportation Talisman turned into ashes.

“Your White Tiger is nothing more than this!” Chen Xuan sneered, then he swung his palm, exerted force, and threw Dai Dabai to the side.

Immediately after, he clenched his right hand in the Void Realm, and a long sword appeared in his hand.

“Fellow Daoist, I’ve decided to take this piece of wood. If you know what’s good for you, hand it over obediently! Otherwise...”

“Bah, you wish!” Dai Dabai spat and charged at Chen Xuan again.

Chen Xuan shook his head, then swung a sword.

This sword was extremely fast, so much so that even Dai Dabai didn’t react in time.

“Puff!” With a muffled sound, a bloodstain appeared on Dai Dabai’s chest, and his entire body flew backward, falling to the ground.

“Still not going to hand it over?” Chen Xuan asked.

Dai Dabai gasped for a while, then struggled to get up.

“I… I’m not convinced!” He said through gritted teeth.

“Not convinced? Alright then! I’ll beat you until you are!” Chen Xuan sneered, raising his long sword again.

Although playing with Dai Dabai and Zhu Zhu could be fun, if he was so uncooperative, Chen Xuan wasn't necessarily going to spare his life.

As for Dai Dabai, seeing Chen Xuan’s strong killing intent, he quickly begged for mercy:

“No! I’ll give it! I’ll hand it over!” Dai Dabai saw the situation and quickly shouted. He knew that if he didn’t hand it over, he would likely die here.

“Consider yourself sensible!” Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

Afterward, Dai Dabai endured the pain and took out a wooden box from his Pregnant, throwing it to Chen Xuan.

“You can have it!”

Chen Xuan took the wooden box, opened it, and found a piece of wood emitting a faint green light inside.

“This… What kind of wood is this?” Chen Xuan asked in confusion.

“I’m not quite sure, but I can feel a lot of life energy inside, which is extremely useful to me.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan carefully observed the wood in his hand.

This piece of wood was entirely black, with a smooth, mirror-like surface, looking like an ordinary piece of wood.

However, although this wood looked ordinary, Chen Xuan could feel that it contained a rich vitality, as if it held endless life force.

“Madam, can you tell anything about this wood?” Chen Xuan looked at Qinglan Jade.

“This is… the heart of the Life Divine Tree?” Qinglan Jade’s tone was extremely shocked, and inadvertently, a trace of Qinglan Fairy’s voice was revealed.

Fortunately, everyone’s attention was on the wood in Chen Xuan’s hand, and they didn’t notice Qinglan Jade’s abnormality.

“Life Divine Tree? Never heard of it!” Chen Xuan was a bit confused. He had read all the medical books in the Cultivation World, but he had never heard of this so-called Life Divine Tree!

“I only came across a record of it by chance. Now I will tell you its function!” Qinglan Jade directly transmitted her voice to Chen Xuan, informing him of the origin and function of the Life Divine Tree.

The Life Divine Tree is an extremely rare spiritual tree. It is said that in the ancient Cultivation World, when the Life Immortal King Ascended to the Immortal Realm, a branch he left behind transformed into the current Life Divine Tree.

Every part of the Life Divine Tree is a treasure; its leaves, branches, and roots are all existences that can help Cultivators reach the peak. And now… the heart of the Life Divine Tree has appeared here!

As for the heart of the Life Divine Tree, it is even more extraordinary. It contains all the essence of the Life Divine Tree, possessing infinite vitality, which can greatly increase a Cultivator’s Lifespan, and even potentially allow them to Breakthrough the limits of their Lifespan!

“I didn’t expect to encounter the heart of the Life Divine Tree here. It seems our harvest this time is not small!” Chen Xuan secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Qinglan Jade saw this and slightly pursed her lips.

She felt like she was going crazy. Her first reaction upon seeing Chen Xuan acquire such a treasure was genuine happiness for him! Instead of seizing this treasure to pave the way for Old Ancestor Qingshan!

Did he call her ‘madam’? I...

Compared to Qinglan Jade, Chen Xuan was much happier. He held the newly acquired Life Divine Tree heart in his hand, playing with it, unable to put it down.

He just didn’t know that deep within the heart, there was a strange tremor.

“No, this piece of the Life Divine Tree’s heart seems a bit strange, as if it’s been Sealed by something!” Chen Xuan pulled Qinglan Jade over and transmitted his voice to her. After they carefully observed it, they indeed discovered a clue.

“Try pouring your spiritual Qi into it!” Qinglan Jade suggested.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan attempted to input his spiritual Qi into the heart of the Life Divine Tree, trying to unseal it.

However, as soon as Chen Xuan’s spiritual Qi touched the heart of the Life Divine Tree, it was repelled by a powerful force, making his arm numb.

“Such a strong Seal!” Chen Xuan was startled.

This Seal seemed even stronger than he had imagined, and his spiritual Qi was simply unable to break it.

“I’ve studied Sealing arts in my Family. Let me give it a try!” Qinglan Jade suddenly said.

Chen Xuan heard this and, without much thought, directly tossed it to Qinglan Jade.
