"Xiao Chen, are you confident?"
Liu Ruyun asked somewhat worriedly. Although Liu Yuanzong did not say anything, he would not end up well if he offended a Sovereign Personage.
"Don't worry. It's fine."
After Xiao Chen observed the barrier of the herb garden for a long time, he confirmed that it was a formation from the Blood-Soaked Emperor's memories.
This formation was called the Essence Sealing God Locking Formation. If it were at the beginning, even a Faux God would not be able to break it.
However, after so many years, the might of this formation had weakened. Now, one could break it with a Soul Tool.
Xiao Chen did have a Soul Tool and more than one. However, he clearly would not take it out in front of so many people.
It would not be difficult to break this formation.
Xiao Chen looked around and said, "Who has formation flags? Lend me some."
"Damn! I thought that you were really a Formation Master. In the end, you don't even have formation flags."
"Can you do it?"
"With one look, I can tell that he is bragging. We might as well try again. There is no need to trouble him."
These words immediately incited many people's dissatisfaction. To think that Xiao Chen did not even have formation flags.
Liu Yuanzong looked around and asked, "Are there any formation flags? If there are, hand them to him."
Formation flags were one of the tools that Formation Masters used to lay formations. Ordinary cultivators only knew some simple formations and did not need tools.
However, there were many people here, so there were always exceptions. After the Sovereign Personage spoke, Xiao Chen received ten-odd formation flags of various sizes.
Including the dozens of formation flags that Xiao Chen already had, he barely had enough.
When Liu Yuanzong handed the formation flags to Xiao Chen, he revealed a suspicious expression but did not say anything.
Xiao Chen wiped away the Spiritual Mark in the formation flags and infused his Spiritual Sense into them. After familiarizing himself with them, he started.
The main purpose of the Essence Sealing God Locking Formation was not to defend against enemies but to seal the natural essence of the world and lock down the souls of all things.
It was laid here to prevent the Spiritual Energy of the herb garden from leaking out. After some herbs gained spirituality, it would help them stabilize their souls.
As long as one understood its mysteries, it would not be too difficult to break it.
"Whoosh!
As Xiao Chen continued to make hand seals, the array flags turned into rays of light and disappeared into the distant ground.
Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense followed the array flag and spread out on the ground. He instantly sensed a huge array formation.
Spiritual light overflowed in all directions, vast and boundless.
Relying on his knowledge of the formation, he avoided the streams of light and inserted the formation flags into the key nodes.
After everything was done, sweat appeared on Xiao Chen's forehead. He looked at the herb garden's barrier and said, "I have temporarily taken control of the formation. All you need to do is merge your Quintessence with the aura of the herb garden, and you will be able to enter."
Liu Yuanzong remained silent. He took a step forward and placed his hand on the spirit formation barrier.
He closed his eyes and breathed in a wisp of the spiritual energy in the herb garden through the barrier. He was surprised to find that his arm had silently passed through the barrier.
"Success!"
Everyone was pleasantly surprised and cheered.
However, Liu Yuanzong was not in a rush to enter. He looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "How do we come out?"
That's right. This barrier was not forcefully broken. In that case, if they wanted to come out, wouldn't they still be restricted by Xiao Chen?
In the end, a Sovereign Personage was more thorough and meticulous.
Xiao Chen said calmly, "This is an Essence Sealing Formation. It does not affect the physical body. After we enter, we do not need to absorb too much of the herb garden's spiritual energy and can directly walk out. Of course, if you do not listen to my advice and absorb too much of the herb garden's spiritual energy, you will not be able to force it out of your body. Don't blame me if you cannot walk out. "
"I'll trust you one more time."
Liu Yuanzong did not say anything more. He was not too worried.
He also had some trump cards that he could use, but he wasn't willing to use them.
Furthermore, as long as he kept an eye on Xiao Chen, the other party would not be able to play any tricks.
"Please!" Liu Yuanzong smiled playfully and gestured for Xiao Chen and the others to enter first.
"There's no need to worry. Let's go in."
Xiao Chen's expression did not change. He placed his palm on the barrier and sent in a trace of the herb garden's aura through the barrier. Then, he successfully entered.
After stepping into the herb garden, Xiao Chen directly forced out the trace of the herb garden's aura from his body. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
People continuously entered the herb garden. Immediately, they were stunned by the dense spiritual energy and could not help wanting to absorb it.
However, when they thought of Xiao Chen's warning, they swallowed their saliva and forced themselves to resist.
"Damn! This weed actually has spirituality. It is already comparable to a Heaven Ranked herb."
"I wonder how much medicinal dregs are contained in this black soil. If we just casually dig up some, we will be able to grow herbs more efficiently in the future."
"I wonder if there is any way to refine Medicinal Energy from this black soil? That would be unrivaled."
"Just a bunch of useless people. Just casually grab a handful. Let's quickly go to the herb spring."
"Right, right, right."
After entering the herb garden, everyone felt dizzy from excitement. Some people even ignored their image and dug up the rotten soil in the herb fields.
They hoped that they would be able to dig out some intact medicinal herbs. Even if they could not, the value of the black soil would be very high.
However, after being reminded, the crowd quickly executed their Movement Techniques and rushed to the herb spring in the center of the herb garden.
"Hahahaha!"
Suddenly, someone laughed loudly. It was the gray-robed old man who did not get along with Xiao Chen. Before him was the tree that Xiao Chen had his eyes on.
When the others saw it, they also laughed loudly.
Only the trunk of that tree remained. It was riddled with holes and rotten beyond repair. There was no sign of life from it.
It was clearly a worthless dead tree.
"Hahaha! Brat, your eyes are indeed unique!" the gray-robed old man mocked as he looked at Xiao Chen.
"I was wondering what it was. After all this time, it turns out to be a rotten tree."
"No, we should thank this tree. If not for this tree, we would not have been able to enter the herb garden!"
The gray-robed old man jeered, eliciting laughter from the crowd.
"What are you saying? Bunch of bastards! If not for Xiao Chen, none of you would have been able to enter this herb garden!"
Murong Yan roared as he pushed away the people surrounding the tree.
His voice was very loud, and it immediately silenced the others. But who would have thought that after this angry shout, the others would be stunned.
However, who could have imagined that after this roar, the rotten, towering tree would crumble and turn into a small mound of ashes, completely crippled?
The others were stunned for a moment before bursting into even louder laughter.
"Hahaha! This won't do. I'm having a stomachache from laughing. Let me take a break. This idiot, he's really stupid to the max. "
"This is great. There is not even a single strand of hair left."
Murong Yan's expression immediately turned extremely unsightly, feeling incredibly embarrassed. He had not expected such a situation. He turned his head and said, "Xiao Chen, what kind of eyes do you have? What tree did you choose?"
Xiao Chen replied calmly, "I remember that your Red Dragon Palace should have one. However, it is normal that you do not recognize it. This tree is of a much higher grade than the one in your Red Dragon Palace. "
"A Coiling Dragon Tree?"
Murong Yan's expression suddenly changed. As he looked at the pile of ashes, he exclaimed, "Red Dragon True Flame!"
"Whoosh!"
Murong Yan sent out a wave of dragon flames. As the dragon flames burned the ashes, they glistened and turned into strands of seven-colored Dragon Qi circling the Dragon True Flame.
"A seven-colored Coiling Dragon Tree!"
"It really is a seven-colored Coiling Dragon Tree, a Coiling Dragon Tree that can bear seven-colored Coiling Dragon Fruits!"
As the ashes burned, a young sapling slowly appeared.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen reacted quickly, grabbing the sapling and placing it in a brocade box to nourish it.
Murong Yan's eyes popped out. "It really is a seven-colored Coiling Dragon Tree. The one in our Red Dragon Palace can only bear red Coiling Dragon Fruits. Xiao Chen, if you offer this tree up, I wonder how the Dragon's Gate will reward you? It is simply unimaginable. "
Xiao Chen retorted indifferently, "I have no intention of handing it up."
"A Coiling Dragon Tree! It is actually a Coiling Dragon Tree!"
The group of people who mocked Xiao Chen earlier were all stupefied. Unexpectedly, it was such a precious sapling.
"Hand over the Coiling Dragon Tree!"
The gray-clad old man's group immediately could not take this lying down. They ferociously charged over and surrounded Xiao Chen and the others.
Many other cultivators became restless, their eyes flickering with murderous intent.
"I gave you face, but you rejected it!"
Xiao Chen had already endured this old man for a long time. Now that this old man jumped out, he snorted coldly and directly attacked.
Xiao Chen immediately threw a palm strike. Firmament's Rage carried a colossal hand that held up the sky. Its fingers were like sabers flickering with electric light as it pressed down.
"What Martial Technique is this?!"
This greatly startled the gray-clad old man. Horror flashed in his eyes as he watched the colossal hand pressing down from the sky. He retreated frantically.
The others nearby hurriedly dodged, one after another.
"Pa!"
However, no matter where the gray-clad old man ran, he could not avoid the colossal hand that approached.
The gray-clad old man fell heavily to the ground. When the hand vanished, his body was riddled with thousands of wounds, all of them flickering with electric light.
The gray-clad old man was already half-dead, completely losing his combat prowess.
With one move, Xiao Chen defeated a peak Holy Venerate, completely shocking the others.
"The Dragon's Gate's Secret Technique, Firmament's Rage! I have not seen it for many years already. Unexpectedly, there is someone in the Divine Dragon Empire's younger generation who can reach the second layer. Are you interested in exploring this medicinal spring with me? It might have one of the five elemental energies you need, the Heavenly Spirit Water. "
Shock flashed in the Sovereign Personage Liu Yuanzong's eyes as he looked at Xiao Chen.
