"Such a huge Tree of Enlightenment, I've never heard of it before!"
Wang Shenxu's voice trembled. "According to its height, this Tree of Enlightenment is at least a million years old!"
Qi Shaoxuan's eyes were also filled with shock. He stared at the tea leaves on the tree, his eyes filled with the purest desire and yearning.
That was Dao Comprehension Tea, a supreme treasure that was rumored to be able to permanently increase a cultivator's comprehension ability. It could be said to be a rare treasure.
Even the leaves on the tea tree in Middle Ground's Jixia Academy could be exchanged for a low-grade Spirit artifact.
This tea tree was much older than the one in Jixia Academy. Its tea leaves were at least ten times more effective than the Jixia Dao Enlightenment Tea.
Such a Enlightenment Tea Leaf was enough to exchange for a supreme-grade Spirit Artifact. If a Sage was in urgent need of enlightenment, it could even be exchanged for a Quasi-Sage Artifact.
After all, the rarer something was, the greater its value. The Enlightenment tea leaf was a supreme-grade enlightenment treasure that was hard to come by in the five regions. Furthermore, it was so old.
Out of all the supplementary treasures in the five regions' market in the past tens of thousands of years, there were very few at this level.
Its preciousness was self-evident!
Of course, although the Tree of Enlightenment was covered in tea leaves, not every leaf had miraculous effects.
Most of the Divine Inscriptions on the Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves had yet to be fully formed, and their Daos were still lacking. Even if they consumed it, the effects would be greatly reduced.
Only when the divine markings were completely perfected and the patterns of the bell, the cauldron, the bottle, the dragon, the phoenix, the unicorn, and so on would the Dao Comprehension Tea have the supreme power to surpass creation.
And those Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves were all over 100,000 years old. They were old leaves that had accumulated over the years, so their medicinal effects were immeasurable!
Even as they hung on the Tree of Enlightenment, they emitted a resplendent silver glow, as bright as the stars.
Of course, there wouldn't be too many of these tea leaves.
According to Shen Tian's rough estimate, there were only a few thousand leaves on the entire Tree of Enlightenment!
Don't think that a few thousand was a lot. One had to know that this Tree of Enlightenment was several thousand zhang tall, like a mountain.
Thousands of silver Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves were distributed on this gigantic trunk. On average, there was only one leaf for every ten feet of height.
In other words, the ratio of mature tea leaves to unripe tea leaves was more than one to several thousand!
At the same time, the matured Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves seemed to be divided into different grades.
The higher the Divine Inscriptions on the Enlightenment Tea Leaves, the more complex and mysterious they were, and the more dazzling the light of the Dao they emitted was.
The matured tea leaves on the lowest layer were very sparsely distributed, and their light was relatively dim. It was obvious that they were new leaves that had not been nurtured for many years.
The tea leaves above 10,000 feet were of higher quality. They were translucent like jade and exuded a dense aura of the Dao. Just looking at them would make one's mind clear.
As for the tea leaves that were two to three kilometers tall, they were simply not tea leaves anymore. They were completely miniature bells, zithers, phoenixes, and kongs that were lifelike.

Around the tea leaves, there were various strange phenomena, as if they were performing all sorts of profound and mysterious techniques.
It was obvious that these Enlightenment Tea Leaves were of the highest quality. After being nurtured by the Tea Tree's Source Energy for hundreds of thousands of years, they possessed shocking effects.
If ordinary geniuses could drink a cup of tea brewed from the Tree of Enlightenment, their comprehension ability would increase by several levels, and they would become top-notch geniuses.
At the very top of the Tree of Enlightenment was a round tea leaf.
It was like a white jade plate, emitting an incomparably cold radiance, like the moon hanging in the nine heavens.
Cold, noble, and untouchable!
...
This was the divine tree on the Yin and Yang Eye of the Yin-Yang Eye.
On the other side of the Yin and Yang Eye, there was also a gigantic tree.
This tree was as tall as the Tree of Enlightenment. It was exceptionally sturdy, and it was even covered in scales.
Its trunk stretched out like many divine dragons coiling around the tree, exuding an extremely dense dragon aura.
There were also fruits growing on this tree. They were shaped like giant eggs, and there were even faint dragon patterns on the surface.
When the wind blew past the tree, the fruits swayed, and a faint dragon roar could be heard. Although the roar was soft, it carried with it a terrifying aura that made one's soul tremble.
These fruits emitted a reddish-gold glow, and the higher they were, the more dazzling they became. They were like little suns.
The light from the fruit at the very top was so bright that no one could look directly at it.
"Wow, could this be the Dragon Source Divine Tree!?"
Ao Wu's mouth formed an 'O' shape as he gazed at the tree.
The term Dragon Source Divine Tree might not be very famous among the other races in the five regions.
But to the Black Dragons of the North Sea, this was definitely a peerless divine tree. It was even more important than the Tree of Enlightenment.
This was because the Dragon Source Fruit on this divine tree could greatly increase the purity of the Dragon race's bloodline, allowing them to advance to a higher level.
It was said that the number one prodigy of the Dragon race, Ao Bing, had obtained a superior-grade Dragon Source Fruit from this Dragon Source Divine Tree tens of thousands of years ago and used it to complete the final leap to a Rank-9 bloodline.
Before that, Ao Bing's bloodline was only at the peak of Rank-8. She was still a step away from Rank-9.
It was obvious how important this Dragon Source Fruit was to the Black Dragons of the North Sea if it could help Ao Bing, who was at the peak of Rank-8, complete the final leap.
Of course, the Dragon Source Fruit was also useful to cultivators of other races. It could greatly strengthen their physical bodies.
However, there were many rare treasures that could strengthen one's physical body. Compared to the ability to purify the Dragon race's bloodline, strengthening one's physical body could only be considered a bonus.
"Big Brother Shen Tian, you... You have really found a big treasure this time!"
Ao Wu's face was flushed. "If I can obtain the Dragon Source Fruit, you will be the benefactor of the entire Dragon race!"
In fact, the Dragon race had long regarded Shen Tian as their benefactor.
After all, if not for Shen Tian, the strongest prodigy of the Dragon race, Ao Bing, would still be stuck in a sword!
But if Ao Wu could also advance to a Rank-9 Black Dragon bloodline, the North Sea Dragon race would usher in an unprecedented golden age.
And Shen Tian would be the pioneer of this golden age. He was the benefactor of the entire Dragon race!
...
Wang Shenxu looked at the two ancient trees and chuckled. "How should we split these fruits?"
"Brother Shen was the one who found this mystic realm, as well as the Black Tortoise mystic realm. We owe Brother Shen a big favor.
"So we should just keep enough of these fruits for ourselves. The rest should belong to Brother Shen."
Wang Shenxu seemed to be deep in thought. "You may be arrogant, but at least you said something sensible this time.
"No problem. Brother Shen has done me a great favor. I will give him the fruits!"
Shen Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Let's just rely on our own abilities! These two divine trees have been here for so many years, but there are still so many fruits hanging on them. It will not be easy to harvest them. "
Ao Wu also nodded and explained. "Brother Shen Tian is right. These Enlightenment tea leaves and Dragon Source Fruits are very difficult to harvest.
"They are one with the tea tree and Dragon Source Tree. They can even borrow part of the Yin-Yang Two Eyes' domain power to resist our attacks.
"According to our race's ancient records, the Enlightenment tea tree and Dragon Source Tree will only appear on a full moon. Also, after meeting the first fated person, they will immediately disappear.
"So we don't have much time. We only have one night!"
As he spoke, Ao Wu had already started to use his Dragon race's Dharma arts to attract the Dragon Source Fruits.
But just as he had said, these Dragon Source Fruits were not easy to harvest. The dragon inscriptions on their surface contained a miraculous power.
As Ao Wu used his arts to harvest the fruit, a reddish-gold barrier formed on the surface of the Dragon Source Fruit, blocking Ao Wu from harvesting it.
This barrier was extremely tough. Even Ao Wu, who was at the peak of the Golden Body realm, could not break it in a short time.
Qi Shaoxuan's eyes hardened. "Let me help you!"
Qi Shaoxuan had just finished speaking when a huge purple aura suddenly appeared behind him. It formed a huge palm and reached out toward the Dragon Source Fruit.
Boom!
But at that moment, the other Dragon Source Fruits around the first Dragon Source Fruit started to vibrate.
The dragon inscriptions on their bodies shone with a dazzling golden light, transferring energy to the first Dragon Source Fruit through the tree trunk.
In that instant, the Dragon Source Fruit glowed brightly and directly repelled Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu's attacks. The fruit was completely unharmed.
...
"What a powerful defense. I can't break it!"
Qi Shaoxuan was shocked and in disbelief.
Although he had not used his full strength in that purple aura palm, he had still used 80% of it.
That palm strike was powerful enough to knock a normal peak Supremacy to the ground. Yet, it could not even harvest a small fruit?
Shen Tian smiled. "If I am not wrong, these fruits cannot be harvested by working together. This is the rule of the divine tree."
Ao Wu nodded. "Yes. Only when one's strength and talent have reached a sufficiently high level can the divine tree acknowledge them and bestow them with a divine fruit.
"If we work together, the Dragon Source Barrier's defense will also increase exponentially. It will become even more powerful than before.
"Also, the more Dragon Source Fruits you harvest, the more resistant they will be to you."
Ao Wu seemed a little disappointed as he spoke.
That was because the Dragon Source Fruit that he had his eyes on did not seem easy to harvest.
Meanwhile, the Dragon Source Fruits at the lower levels were dim and did not seem to be very old.
It was almost impossible to rely on those ordinary Dragon Source Fruits to break through to the Rank-9 Black Dragon bloodline.
If I had known that I would encounter the Dragon Source Divine Tree this time, I would have worked hard to break through to the Nirvana stage. Sob sob sob sob!
I am just a Golden Body cultivator. I am still too weak!
Ao Wu was on the verge of tears!
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light flashed beside him.
Shen Tian was surrounded by a golden aura. His body looked like it was made of gold.
He slowly reached out his right hand, and a jade-green vine swept toward the Dragon Source Tree.
The Dragon Source Fruit he had chosen was of a higher grade than the one Ao Wu had chosen. The light and dragon aura it exuded were also more intense.
Upon sensing Shen Tian's attack, the Divine Inscriptions around the Dragon Source Fruit shone brightly and formed a thick barrier.
But it was of no use.
The jade-green vine was stained with silver liquid. The force of the whip was more than 10,000 kilograms.
Boom!
The reddish-gold barrier was directly pierced through. Reddish-gold light splattered everywhere like blood. It was unable to stop the whip at all.
The vine wrapped around the Dragon Source Fruit and pulled it off the branch, landing it in Shen Tian's hand.
"Big Brother Shen Tian is so powerful. He successfully plucked the Dragon Source Fruit in one move!"
Ao Wu's eyes were filled with admiration. He was indeed the most powerful prodigy in Eastern Wilderness.
Big Brother Shen Tian is indeed more powerful than Big Brother Shaoxuan!
...
Qi Shaoxuan was a little jealous.
On the other hand, Wang Shenxu was still in a dilemma.
Should I use my life energy to try and harvest one? But what if I can't harvest it after that?
My lifespan is almost up. I really can't afford that!
