Most of the people present were Firmament Palace disciples. Since they were Firmament Palace disciples, even if they were just outer sect disciples, they naturally had a certain level of insight.
Thus, the crowd quickly recognized the Sacred Source Ancient Tree, just like Yan Chutian.
Even the disciples of the smaller factions were not lacking in insight. When they vaguely realized the identity of the ancient tree in the mirror, all of them were overjoyed, and unconcealable looks of hope emerged on their faces.
The Saint Source Ancient Tree was a mysterious Spirit Root that was only recorded in ancient records. Most of the people present, including Yan Chutian, had only heard of its name and had never seen it before.
However, this did not stop them from knowing the value of the Sacred Source Ancient Tree. Legend had it that the Sacred Source Ancient Tree had different Dao Fruits, and each Dao Fruit had a unique, almost god-like effect.
There were naturally not many such mystical Spirit Roots. In fact, the ancient records said that there was only one Sacred Source Ancient Tree, and it was extremely unique.
"The Sacred Source Ancient Tree. I never expected it to be the Sacred Source Ancient Tree!"
"This is a Spirit Root that even Heaven Completion stage experts want. I never expected it to appear in front of us like this."
"This is great. If we can obtain one of the Sacred Source Ancient Tree's Dao Fruits, our opportunities will be boundless!"
How could the crowd not rush forward with such a great temptation in front of them? Even the Firmament Palace disciples could not help but approach the ancient mirror, let alone the disciples of the smaller factions.
At the same time, even Xuan You and the others did not move, but this did not mean that they were not interested in the Sacred Source Ancient Tree.
However, they were still observing, feeling that the sudden appearance of the legendary Sacred Source Ancient Tree was not as simple as it seemed.
Sure enough, although the Sacred Source Ancient Tree appeared to be right in front of them, no one could touch it.
There was no other reason. The image of the Sacred Source Ancient Tree was displayed in the ancient mirror, so the crowd could only touch the icy surface of the mirror.
Even after repeated attempts, the result was the same. After repeated attempts, many people's originally fiery hearts immediately turned cold.
In their view, the Sacred Source Ancient Tree was merely an image in the ancient mirror. It made sense. How could such a mysterious Spirit Root that only existed in legends appear here?
Thinking of this, the dispirited crowd shifted their gazes away. It would be a waste of time to continue watching. It was better to continue climbing the stairs and obtain other real opportunities.
Some gave up, while others refused to believe that the appearance of the Sacred Source Ancient Tree was just an illusion.
Amongst them were Yan Chutian, Xuan You and even Murong Ting.
The higher one reached, the more one would realize the unimaginable value of these mysterious Spirit Roots.
In this world, there were heavenly and earthly treasures and thousands of spirit herbs. They were all categorized into four grades: Mortal Spirit and Demon Saint. Then, they were further categorized according to the number of spirit marks on them.
However, above the Saint Grade Nine Patterns, it was not the same.
There were no more heavenly materials and earthly treasures. However, heavenly materials and earthly treasures could no longer be described as ordinary spiritual medicines or heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Instead, they had to be described as spiritual roots.
That was because even Heavenly Completion experts wouldn't be willing to let such a spiritual plant of heaven and earth wither away. Even if they obtained one and wanted to use it, they would definitely leave its roots behind.
As such, he was unwilling to leave a Sacred Source Ancient Tree that had already reached the level of a Spirit Root before he could confirm its authenticity.
However, after repeated confirmations, the results they obtained were the same as those of the disciples and cultivators who had left earlier.
Even though the Sacred Source Ancient Tree was vivid and lifelike and existed in the ancient mirror, it was as if one could touch it by raising their hand. However, the only thing one could truly touch was the ice-cold surface of the mirror.
After several fruitless attempts, Xuan You finally withdrew his gaze. His expression gradually turned indifferent as he turned and left without another glance at the ancient mirror or the Sacred Source Ancient Tree.
Not long after Xuan You's departure, Murong Ting also left in a disappointed manner.
More and more people left after these two important figures. In the end, only a few people remained.
However, among these few people were Yan Chutian and Mu Youxue.
But speaking of which, it was because of Yan Chutian that Mu Youxue had stayed behind. She had already confirmed that the Sacred Source Ancient Tree was fake and that it was merely an image.
However, she now seemed to regard Yan Chutian as her leader. Therefore, as long as Yan Chutian did not leave, neither did she.
If the other Firmament God Palace disciples knew that the usually cold and arrogant Mu Youxue was silently following a disciple who had just entered the Yuanying Realm, their jaws would have dropped in shock and they would have been extremely jealous.
However, they would not know. Moreover, in the eyes of the crowd, Yan Chutian had been following Mu Youxue the entire time.
He gently touched the ancient mirror and felt that it was icy cold. Even when he spread out his perception, he could not sense anything.
Even after repeated attempts, the results were the same. Yan Chutian could not help but sigh inwardly at such a result.
He naturally sighed because of the illusory Sacred Source Ancient Tree.
However, even if it was not fated, Yan Chutian would not be depressed. After all, a mysterious Spirit Root like the Sacred Source Ancient Tree could not be described as something that could only be found by chance. It could only be described as luck.
Take the Mysterious Yang Scripture for example. How could one obtain it without great luck?
Yan Chutian was already extremely satisfied with obtaining the Mysterious Yang Scripture. As for the Sacred Source Ancient Tree, he did not dare to hope for it.
"Let's go. The ancient mirror only contains an image and not the real Sacred Source Ancient Tree."
Mu Youxue said softly when she saw Yan Chutian's hesitation. Hearing his soft words, Yan Chutian lightly nodded. Then, she followed the latter and walked towards the next floor.
However, after taking a few steps, Yan Chutian seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed.
His expression did not change, but he secretly turned around.
At the same time, a low voice that only Mu Youxue could hear slowly rang out.
"Wait!"
"Hmm?"
Mu Youxue's expression changed slightly, but she was someone who understood the importance of the Saint Source Ancient Tree. Hence, she immediately withdrew her expression, and slowly turned around.
There were only a few people left, and these people were still paying close attention to the ancient mirror. Hence, they did not notice Yan Chutian's movements at all.
Yan Chutian slowly stepped forward, but the direction he was walking towards wasn't the ancient mirror, but the corresponding direction of the ancient mirror.
This was because he suddenly realized that the ancient mirror might not be showing an image, but reflecting something.
Even if there was no Sacred Source Ancient Tree, there might very well be something hidden in the area it was reflecting.
However, what gave Yan Chutian hope was that he could not find anything even when he walked to the area reflected by the ancient mirror and carefully scanned it.
Yan Chutian could not help but feel helpless. It seemed that the situation was not as good as he had imagined.
However, just as Yan Chutian was about to leave in disappointment, an unexpected step caused his body to abruptly freeze.
Although there was clearly nothing strange about this step, and it was clearly the same as before, there was a mysterious feeling that rapidly grew in Yan Chutian's heart.
This feeling could not be described with words, but Yan Chutian had a feeling that if there really was a secret in the area reflected by the ancient mirror, it must be under his feet.
Others might find this extremely absurd, but Yan Chutian was already certain of this.
Hence, the soft voice that only he and Mu Youxue could hear slowly rang out once more.
"Senior sister Youxue, perhaps the thing is here."
Yan Chutian's words were completely illogical. Perhaps if others heard it, they would disdain him and feel that he was simply spouting nonsense.
But Mu Youxue, this woman, did not object at all. She only casually nodded her head. Then, like Yan Chutian, she quietly waited on this floor.
Time continued to pass. Under such circumstances, the few people who had not found anything left one after another, heading to the higher levels.
When the last Firmament God Palace disciple also left, Yan Chutian finally squatted down and stared at the area under his feet.
However, no matter how carefully he looked and how wide his Spiritual Eye was, he could not find anything strange. Even so, he did not hesitate. His foot, which was full of power, immediately stomped down fiercely!
"Bang …!"
A soft muffled sound rang out. When he raised his foot again, he stared at Yan Chutian and Mu Youxue, a look of shock finally appeared on his face.
