According to the Dark Blade, the Burial Earth was very dangerous.
Its level of danger was second only to the Kingdom of the Nine States' Boundless North Sea.
Even someone as powerful as Li Yazi had to work together with the Dark Blade to explore it.
If it wasn't for Li Yazi's immortal sense, Xie Tian wouldn't have dared to step foot on it.
Just the outer region of the Burial Earth was a land paved with the corpses of immortals.
There were even shamans who ran amok in ancient times.
As for the origin of the Burial Earth, the Dark Blade didn't mention it.
But now, Xie Tian had returned to the Burial Earth.
"It's different from the Burial Earth of the Kingdom of the Nine States. The Burial Earth here doesn't seem to be as dangerous as the outer region of the Burial Earth of the Nine States …"
It was because of this that the Heavenly Fusion Stage body refinement cultivators were able to walk on it.
"Strange, why would a place similar to the Burial Earth appear in broad daylight in the Immortal Realm …"
Xie Tian remembered very clearly that he had passed through a gray vortex to get to the Burial Earth from the Kingdom of the Nine States.
This meant that the Burial Earth was in another space.
"Could it be that this Burial Earth came out on its own …"
Although he couldn't figure it out, Xie Tian was slightly relieved.
At least he knew what this place was.
He continued forward and finally saw the old man in the mining area.
The old man was frail and walked with difficulty. His eyes were hollow, and he was like a walking corpse, but he was still struggling for his last breath.
As he continued forward, his life force flowed away more rapidly.
"It's indeed different. The Burial Earth of the Nine States is filled with the aura of death, but this place directly devours life force …"
This was the reason why body refinement cultivators with strong blood essence became old men.
But there were exceptions.
When he saw the sparse blood-colored mountains in the distance, Xie Tian saw the high-spirited body refinement cultivators.
Being able to have such strong blood essence in the mining area was enough to prove that they were powerful.
Even if they weren't powerful, there must be someone powerful behind them.
Being sized up by these experts as if they were food, everyone shivered in fear.
Even the elder who had used some unknown method to escape the mining area trembled slightly.
"Humph!"
The giant tree showed its might.
A cold snort exploded like thunder, blasting the old men into a dignified expression, and the naked look in their eyes gradually disappeared.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The reverence in their eyes toward the tree was even more sincere.
Relying on his experience, the elder came to the tree and whispered something.
The giant tree listened intently and nodded from time to time.
After the elder finished speaking, the giant tree scanned the crowd. His voice sounded more authoritative.
"When I'm not around, listen to Leng Le."
Leng Le was the name of an elder.
With that, the giant tree walked towards the group of old people.
Seeing this, Xie Tian walked over.
"What is he doing there?"
Leng Le glanced at Xie Tian. She didn't want to say it, but in the end, she said, "Go tell the old man that there's a newcomer."
Xie Tian nodded.
Seeing this, Leng Le smiled and said, "Lord Tree, you are qualified to say that."
Xie Tian nodded.
Leng Le furrowed his brows and shook his head. "The mining area is different from the outside world. It's a place where the strong prey on the weak. That's not a description. The weak will really be eaten. There's no fighting over personal feelings, nor is there any grudges.
"Thank you for your guidance."
Xie Tian said with a smile and left.
Looking at Xie Tian's back, Leng Le sighed to himself.
He did not feel the slightest bit of remorse for his actions, which were close to changing his allegiance.
He also knew that it was very sad for him to do so.
"But you're in the Heavenly Breaking Realm and Lord Tree is in the Illusionary Divine Realm …"
With a sigh, Leng Le looked at Man Chun. However, Man Chun was looking at Xie Tian with a pitiful look.
"There's no such thing as pity in the mining area …"
Shaking his head, Leng Le walked to Man Chun's side. Although he was smiling, his words made Man Chun's face turn pale.
Not long after, a few thunderous sounds could be heard from afar.
After a while, the giant tree, whose fighting intent was slowly dissipating, appeared with a smile.
Leng Le smiled as well. His voice became more forceful as he said, "Lord Tree has fought for a place for us. From today onwards, we will follow Lord Tree's orders!"
"Greetings, Lord Tree!"
"Greetings, Lord Tree!"
…
The giant tree, who had been punched in the chest, smiled and nodded his head. His gaze swept across Xie Tian's face.
He could tell that Xie Tian was curious about him.
"Just like how I looked at my father in the past. Beneath the curiosity, there's admiration and dissatisfaction …"
The giant tree smiled and led the group towards the place he had just fought for.
"Illusionary Divine Realm, I really want to fight with him …"
Xie Tian did not like to fight.
Unless he met a physical cultivator.
This was because he considered himself as a physical cultivator.
Walking at the back, Xie Tian recalled the battle that Xie Qing had seen.
Although he knew that this was not a suitable place to fight, he could not help but feel the urge to fight.
"A god's body is as strong as an Illusionary Divine Realm cultivator. However, they are not purely physical cultivators …"
The place he was staying at was a large, gloomy hole that had been dug out.
"This is not a mine. No one dares to stay in a mine."
Leng Le explained to the group before starting to discuss important matters with the newly elected higher-ups.
Seeing the giant tree walk out, Xie Tian thought for a moment and followed.
Leng Le, who was in the middle of a discussion, looked at Xie Tian's back and frowned. He seemed to have muttered to himself that Xie Tian was young and aggressive.
He did not need to worry about the giant tree.
A distance away from the cave, the giant tree finally stopped and smiled.
He felt that he was like his father now.
And the young man following him was like himself.
Feeling the battle intent in his eyes, the giant tree sighed. "Young and aggressive …"
Young and aggressive and prideful.
As the giant tree knew that the young man was prideful, he took a few more steps forward.
He hoped that the young man would be prideful in the upcoming battle so that he could make use of him.
"Are you in the Illusionary Divine Realm?"
Xie Tian did not think as deeply as the giant tree and asked softly.
The giant tree turned around and smiled. "Breaking through the void and becoming a saint is the Illusionary Divine Realm. Young man, you are only in Heavenly Breaking Realm Level 2. You are far from it …"
Xie Tian agreed and sighed. "Yes, the path of physical cultivation is difficult. It was not easy for me to reach the Heavenly Breaking Realm, so …"
"So you want to see the techniques of the Illusionary Divine Realm?" The giant tree shook his head. "Your courage is commendable, but …"
Before he could finish, Xie Tian cupped his fists. "Please enlighten me."
"If that's the case, alright." The giant tree sighed. "But the mine is cut off from the energy of heaven and earth. Let's just spar and not fight."
Xie Tian smiled. "Thank you."
"Come on." The giant tree placed his left hand behind his back and gestured with his right. "Come on, don't be afraid. It's not embarrassing to lose."
"Bang!
Bang bang!
Bang bang bang! "
…
The muffled sound of thunder from afar interrupted the discussion of the important figures in the cave.
"Young and aggressive …"
Leng Le shook his head. He thought that the battle would not happen due to the disparity in strength but it still happened.
"Vice Leader Leng, what young and aggressive?" One of the important figures asked.
Leng Le smiled. "Nothing, a Heavenly Breaking Realm genius wants to challenge the leader."
Everyone understood.
"So it's the leader fighting …"
"Heavenly Breaking Realm genius? I'm afraid he's been … Eh, there's no more movement? "
"The leader is already giving him face by fighting for five breaths …"
"Vice Leader didn't say anything. He's indeed young and aggressive. He doesn't know the difference between the Heavenly Breaking Realm and the Illusionary Divine Stage …"
…
At this moment.
Outside the cave, the battle had stopped.
Xie Tian stood there quietly as he tried to comprehend the Illusionary Divine Stage.
The giant tree sat on the ground and stared at Xie Tian blankly. As he recalled the battle that lasted for five breaths, he started to doubt his life.
"I … I felt like I was … defeated by a Heavenly Breaking Realm Level 2 cultivator …"
…
"Breaking through the void and becoming a sage. The inner and outer heavens are one. The heavens and earth are me, and I am the heavens and earth. The Illusionary Divine Stage is indeed much more powerful than an immortal …"
Xie Tian finally understood the force of the giant tree's attack on his chest and could not help but exclaim in admiration.
The giant tree regained his senses and recalled what he had just said …
Heavenly Breaking Realm Level 2?
Too weak?
Courageous?
Come at me?
Don't be afraid?
Wouldn't it be embarrassing if I lost?
The giant tree's face was as red as a monkey's butt. Just as he was about to start digging and bury himself, Xie Tian cupped his fists and smiled at him.
His smile was as sincere as ever.
"Thank you, leader, for your teachings. I am very grateful."
