At the back of the mountain, there were red peach blossoms and green willows. It was simply like a paradise. All kinds of flowers and trees were flourishing, and the buds that were about to bloom were clustered together. Lustrous dewdrops rolled on the flowers and leaves. There were also wisps of white mist that couldn't block out the golden sunlight. They were like dancing beauties that fluttered gracefully here, adding a bit of the otherworldly feeling of an immortal mansion.
Pavilions dotted the waterfall and spring, situated beside a small bridge over a flowing stream.
Chu Feng stood there, admiring the beautiful scenery that seemed to be reflected in a painting. Every breath he took was filled with fragrance, making him feel carefree and relaxed. This was a good place for self-cultivation.
He paused for a moment and passed through the lush greenery of the back mountain, arriving at a paradise full of vitality.
Mount Pan was definitely not an ordinary place. Otherwise, the old weasel wouldn't have been able to break through two shackles and master the Imperial Sword Technique.
"Mutant trees!"
Chu Feng immediately saw a number of extraordinary saplings rooted in the fenced garden. This was the most important area of Mount Pan, a place where mysterious plants that could evolve humans, birds, and beasts grew.
One, two …
Chu Feng was astonished. There were five mysterious saplings here, not to mention the mutant herbs. There were no less than fifty of them, all fresh and tender as if carved from jade.
"Is this the spiritual essence nurtured by a famed mountain?"
He sighed in admiration. It was already amazing to find one in other places, but to find a whole field of them in a famed mountain range was like a priceless immortal's medicinal field!
To ordinary people, this could indeed be considered an immortal's medicinal herb. That was because the fruits produced here could allow one to evolve into a mutant with extraordinary strength in a short period of time.
The saplings were all two to three feet tall and were of different colors. One of them was especially special — it was almost two meters tall and its entire body was as red as agate. Even its leaves were as red as fiery jade. It could be considered a "big tree".
Chu Feng guessed that the old weasel's ability to break through two shackles had something to do with this tree. The other plants shouldn't have such great medicinal effects.
Unfortunately, there were no fruits on the mutant trees; they had all been picked clean.
Chu Feng had no regrets. There was a beast king, two quasi beast kings, and close to a hundred mutated beasts on Mount Pan. It would be strange if there were any mutated fruits left; they had long since been consumed.
Among the dozens of strange plants, two of them were still blooming and emitting a refreshing fragrance. Chu Feng crouched down and circulated his special breathing technique in an attempt to absorb the pollen.
However, a moment later, he was disappointed. This level of strange grass had no effect on him.
It could be expected that after he became a king-class entity, ordinary plants that could promote human evolution would no longer be of any use to him.
Only the nearly two-meter-tall bright red "tree" was useful to him, but it was empty now. He could only wait for next year.
This was the advantage of a famous mountain. All the plants could grow again in the next year, blossom and bear fruit, and it wasn't limited to just one time.
Why did the major corporations attack the famed mountains with all their might, even if they had to bleed and pile up corpses to occupy one of them? It was for this reason that he wanted to establish himself.
As long as he could control a famed mountain, he could ensure that his men and horses would evolve continuously. In the end, it would become a never-ending inheritance.
"Where's the underground palace?" Chu Feng searched. He had long since learned from Huang Xiaoxian that the inheritance of Mount Pan was located at the back of the mountain.
However, he couldn't find any clues even after searching the entire place. There wasn't even a shadow of the so-called underground palace.
Suddenly, he raised his head and gazed into the distance. Even further away, there was a mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist. Moreover, there was an indistinct colossus standing there.
Chu Feng was fearless. He had even killed a beast king with two severed shackles. What else did he have to worry about? He walked forward in large strides.
"A giant tree?!"
His heart trembled. The majestic shadow in the mist was actually a terrifying tree. It was rooted at the base of the mountain, but it was so tall that it reached into the air.
It was at least 800 meters tall, with luxuriant branches and luxuriant foliage. Its leaves were like jade, suffused with a luster.
Most importantly, the place where it was rooted had completely split open. One could clearly see that there was an underground palace within. It was old and emitted an aura of vicissitudes.
Chu Feng was overjoyed. He had finally found it.
However, this ancient tree was simply too huge. It gave off a sense of danger as it took root there.
Chu Feng was certain that his senses weren't wrong. There was a will hidden within the body of the tree.
He had already learned from the Hollow Jade Temple that the country had used a large number of guided missiles to clear away the plants in outer space, as well as the giant vines that covered the sky.
"I came here only to enter the underground palace. I have no other intentions." Chu Feng spoke, regardless of whether or not the tree could understand him.
Silence reigned. The giant tree didn't seem to have any abnormalities.
Chu Feng took a step forward and approached the underground palace. Suddenly, his body tensed up as he raised his head. The entire tree was moving, and some of its branches were shaking violently.
Following which, a certain fruit fell from the tree, emitting a dazzling radiance as it smashed towards Chu Feng.
"A chestnut tree?!"
Chu Feng was astonished. He hadn't noticed before. This 800-meter tall tree was covered in luxuriant foliage. All the fruits were hidden behind the leaves and only revealed now.
"What's going on?"
Chu Feng retreated rapidly. Those fruits weren't the usual chestnuts. There was also a layer of terrifying "spikes" wrapped around the chestnuts.
Many people liked to eat chestnuts, but they had never seen these hedgehog-like "spikes". These things were as sharp as needles and could easily pierce through flesh.
The fruits falling from the sky were too big. Each one was nine meters long and golden in color. They were like giant hedgehogs smashing down one after another.
Boom!
Moreover, they exploded in mid-air with a deafening noise. The densely packed golden thorns flew over at high speed and pierced through the void towards Chu Feng.
Chu Feng retreated at supersonic speed. He was surprised to find that the golden spikes were more than half a meter long, and some were even more than a meter long. They had all reached the speed of sound and broke through the sound barrier. It was extremely terrifying. It was as if a group of golden short spears were flying towards him.
"Swoosh, swoosh …"
The sound of the flying "short spears" was dense.
In the end, Chu Feng was still able to successfully retreat. He had evaded the golden "short spears" that were raining down from the sky. The power of the Golden Thorns was simply too terrifying. They easily pierced through several meters tall rocks and left numerous densely packed holes on the ground.
The destructive power was huge!
If ordinary beasts were here, they would definitely be nailed to the ground in an instant.
After the fruits disintegrated and the golden spikes flew over, the real chestnuts also fell down. Each of them was as big as a bed and fell where Chu Feng had been standing just now.
Boom!
A huge explosion sounded. The ground cracked open. Rocks as big as millstones shot out in all directions.
Each of the chestnuts was like a heavy bomb. The destructive power was astonishing.
Chu Feng stood in the distance and was dumbfounded. Was this still a chestnut tree? He couldn't believe it. This was too outrageous.
A total of five fruits fell down. After the skin spikes exploded, they were like golden short spears that filled the sky. The destructive power was astonishing. And the chestnuts inside were like big bombs when they fell down!
After a long while, he came back to his senses. What kind of situation was this? After the upheaval, even an old chestnut tree had become so demonic?
"I don't care what you are. If you dare block my way again, don't blame me for being impolite. I'll chop off all your roots!" Chu Feng threatened.
No matter what, he had to enter the underground palace and obtain Mount Pan's inheritance. That was because the Imperial Sword Technique could greatly increase his strength. He couldn't miss it.
Chu Feng's whole body was glowing, especially his right arm. After breaking the shackle, the silvery-white energy released from his body pervaded the air and covered his whole body.
Especially when he started to circulate his special breathing technique, the mysterious energy within his king level body became even more majestic and rapidly increased!
Chu Feng pressed forward and shouted a warning to the ancient tree.
However, just as he approached the shade, the giant tree made its move once again. Its branches and leaves swayed as more than ten fruits fell from the sky.
Within a split second, the entire place was filled with golden spears. The scene was too terrifying; even a quasi beast king wouldn't be able to block it and would most likely be killed.
That was because the golden spikes were too hard and indestructible. Moreover, they surpassed the speed of sound, giving people a sense of fear.
Chu Feng was furious. After killing the beast king, there was actually a giant tree that wanted to make an enemy out of him. He didn't hold anything back and used the Demon Ox Fists. He also activated the divine abilities he had obtained after breaking the shackle.
Moo!
Accompanied by the indistinct roar of the primordial yak, a gigantic beam of silver light flew out and shattered all the spears that were harder than steel.
Chu Feng moved. He traversed the sky and was no different from flying. Every time he moved, he would cover a distance of two to three hundred meters. Then, with a slight stomp, he would fly again.
He used his powerful king level divine instinct to evade the sky full of short spears and those giant bombs. He shouted, "Even the beast king here has been killed by me. Since you insist on making an enemy out of me, you can also die!"
"What? That weasel is dead?" The chestnut tree sent out a hazy consciousness, seemingly shocked.
Following which, the ground rumbled as some roots uprooted from the ground. It slid along the mountainous terrain and charged into the depths of the mountain range.
Chu Feng was astonished. He had already rushed to the underground palace, but the chestnut tree had escaped. It had actually uprooted itself and slid along the mountain range in order to escape.
Chu Feng ignored it and immediately rushed into the underground palace. The Imperial Sword Technique was too important and he couldn't afford to make any mistakes. He wanted to get to the bottom of things first.
Very soon, he frowned. The underground palace wasn't very big and was simple and unadorned. There were stone beds, stone chairs, and even stone praying mats. However, there were no diagrams carved on them, so he couldn't find the Imperial Sword Technique.
Swoosh!
The next moment, Chu Feng rushed out of the underground palace and chased after the chestnut tree. He traversed the sky at supersonic speed, stepping on the mountain peaks and boulders, passing over all kinds of trees.
"Human, are you going to kill us all? I'll fight it out with you!"
Sliding on the eight-hundred-meter-tall chestnut tree created a huge commotion. No matter what, it had to leave an obvious trail behind. There was no way to shake off its pursuers.
It roared. This time, the fruit that fell wasn't so simple. There was only one, and it was actually almost transparent. It reached the speed of sound as it fell.
When it exploded, the scene was too terrifying.
Chu Feng didn't understand the situation and thus didn't take the attack head-on. This time, he suddenly changed directions and rushed toward another region at his maximum speed.
Boom!
The scene behind him was terrifying. After that transparent chestnut exploded, tens of thousands of sparkling short spears flew out and pierced through a short mountain like a beehive.
This made Chu Feng draw in a breath of cold air. He reckoned that even a beast king like the old weasel would be pierced through if it tried to take the attack head-on. It was too astonishing.
At the same time, the few chestnuts wrapped in the transparent thorns also fell at supersonic speed. After they touched the ground, they exploded with a loud rumble.
Chu Feng felt his hair stand on end. The two short mountains nearby had disappeared. They had been blasted apart and completely disappeared.
However, how could he be frightened by a mere chestnut tree? He shouted, "Even so, you're still not my match. I can kill you with a bit of effort!"
"I didn't provoke you. Come at me if you want to fight!" The chestnut tree spoke. It was very lacking in confidence because there weren't many of those transparent fruits. The most important thing was that if it couldn't hit that human, it would be useless no matter how powerful it was.
"What about the inheritance in the underground palace? Did you take it away?" Chu Feng asked.
The chestnut tree cried out, "The inheritance is in your body!"
"Nonsense. If it was in my body, would you still need to look for that underground palace?" Chu Feng stared at it.
"I once saw that weasel holding a flying sword to his forehead to comprehend it. There was a spiritual imprint inside. I think the so-called inheritance is in the sword," the chestnut tree informed.
Chu Feng took out the flying sword and sensed it with his spiritual energy. He was immediately startled and hurriedly retreated because he had sensed an abnormal spiritual energy. It was somewhat dangerous.
He believed it and looked at the chestnut tree. "Since it's like this, there's no need for you to run. Go back and help me guard Mount Pan."
"I'm not going!" The chestnut tree was extremely afraid of him. After saying this, it immediately fled and glided through the mountain range.
"I won't make things difficult for you." Chu Feng chased after it.
"I'll consider it after you leave. Don't chase after me or I'll fight it out with you." The chestnut tree was flustered.
In the end, Chu Feng turned around and didn't force it. He felt that it was truly miraculous that even a chestnut tree could be like this. It could actually shoot short spears and bombs.
Chu Feng returned to the back of the mountain and buried the seed and the stone box in the medicine field. There were two different colors of strange soil nearby that were sparkling and translucent.
He wanted to see if he could make the seed germinate again!
After that, he sat cross-legged on the ground and carefully examined the palm-sized scarlet flying sword. Finally, he placed it to his forehead and used his spiritual energy to sense it.
"Boom!"
Chu Feng immediately let out a muffled groan. His body swayed and his vision darkened. He almost fainted from the impact of a spiritual imprint.
This shocked him. This imprint was too strong. It was as if an immortal sword had slashed down, wanting to shatter one's will and obliterate one's spiritual energy.
He was sure that even if he had reached the king level, if his spiritual energy was insufficient, he would still die from this impact.
