Beyond the herb field was a boundless sea of fog.
This fog sea was said to be a land of fortuitous encounters in Paradise. Someone had once discovered a Divine Crystal there.
There were also people who obtained damaged Divine Armaments and Secret Treasures in the fog sea. There were even people who obtained damaged True God Flames.
As for Xiao Chen, he had no intention of continuing to search for opportunities in the sea of fog.
Fortuitous encounters in the fog sea were much more difficult to find than herb fields. Furthermore, they were all broken pieces of weapons. To a Sovereign Personage, they were practically useless.
In this era, it was already impossible to become a True God. Even if one had a Divine Artifact, they would not be able to use it.
Most Faux Gods used Soul Tools. The so-called Divine Weapons were not even as valuable as a Medial Grade Soul Tool.
The research value of the Divine Weapon fragment was greater than its practical value.
Of course, the fragments of the Faux God Flame counted separately. However, the chances of finding the Faux God Flame were even lower than finding the Divine Herb in the herb field.
As Xiao Chen walked through the sea of fog, his Spiritual Sense and Soul Energy were greatly restricted. All he could see was a vast expanse of fog. His field of vision was less than a thousand meters.
On the ground, there was an ancient and dilapidated aura. There was a damaged dao aura lingering about, making one think deeply.
This place should have been one of the battlefields of the Righteous and Demonic Dao when the Heaven Realm shattered.
Xiao Chen was rather satisfied with this Ancient Battlefield. It was a superb hiding place, and it couldn't be any better to use it to refine and absorb the Thundercliff Tree.
"This is it."
Xiao Chen randomly chose a barren mountain and confirmed that it was remote enough that no one would find it.
He took out the 100,000-year-old King Herb, the Thunder Cliff Tree!
Hua!
On the light screen outside the Trial Tower, the image of Xiao Chen in the sea of fog was slightly blurry, but one could still make out a rough outline.
"Thunder Cliff Tree!"
"This is the 100,000-year-old king herb. There hasn't been a 100,000-year-old king herb in that herb field for many years."
"If it were any other 100,000-year-old herb king, it wouldn't have much value, but this Thunder Cliff Tree is really incredible. Even if it's not a thunder-elemental Virtual God, it's great to use it to avoid the Thunder Tribulation! "
"That's right. If we can directly comprehend the principle behind how it absorbs the lightning tribulation and transforms it into our own energy, that would be really powerful."
The Faux God Realm powerhouses of the various factions became excited when they saw Xiao Chen take out the Thunder Cliff Tree.
Mu Zifeng thought for a while. If he really is Xiao Chen, I have to give him a proper warning after I come out.
If he did not handle this hundred-thousand-year-old herb king well, it would bring him endless trouble.
"What is he doing?"
At this moment, a Faux God suddenly exclaimed softly.
"He wants to refine the Thunder Cliff Tree. Is this kid crazy? Refining the Thunder Cliff Tree with his meager cultivation base is a waste of God's gift!"
Seeing Xiao Chen refine this one-hundred-thousand-year-old Herb King by himself, the Faux God powerhouses of the various factions showed somewhat unsightly expressions.
Everyone held the thought that Xiao Chen would definitely bring the Thunder Cliff Tree out.
After all, a Sovereign Personage could not completely refine the Thunder Cliff Tree. Forcibly refining it would result in a great waste.
The best way was to bring it out and trade it with a Faux God expert, exchanging it for a treasure suitable for oneself.
However, no one expected Xiao Chen to directly give up on this fortuitous encounter in the fog sea.
He quietly came to refine the Thunder Cliff Tree.
Many people did not expect such a scene, so they could only watch helplessly.
"Who exactly is this fellow? Does he know that refining the Thunder Cliff Tree like this is a waste? "
Someone muttered. Although they guessed that the other party was Xiao Chen, he was wrapped in bandages and a bedsheet, so they could not be sure.
If they wanted to curse, they would know who to curse.
--- While in the fog sea, Xiao Chen did not think too much. He continued to focus on refining the Thunder Cliff Tree.
He only knew that ten-thousand-year-old Fiend Kings were fine. Faux God experts would not care too much about them.
However, as long as he left, the one-hundred-thousand-year-old Herb King would not be his.
Xiao Chen did not have the ability to resist something that a Faux God wanted.
The Thunder Cliff Tree was very useful to Xiao Chen. If he forcefully refined it, it would be a waste. Xiao Chen could not use it to exchange for other treasures. It was not worth it.
After the cultivators who fled the herb field settled down, they started searching the fog sea.
Compared to the herb field filled with fortuitous encounters, the fortuitous encounters in the fog sea were much more difficult to search for.
However, it was a land of fortuitous encounters, after all. If one was lucky, one would gain something.
This was especially so for the cultivators who could not find any Spirit Herbs in the herb field. They were in high spirits.
After crossing this sea of fog, one would arrive at the final trial ground of Paradise.
There were not many chances left for them.
The fog sea slowly turned lively. However, this excitement had nothing to do with Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen focused on refining the Thunder Cliff Tree, absorbing the Thunder Great Dao Energy within. Xiao Chen could clearly feel his Thunder Dao Domain strengthening rapidly.
Xiao Chen's Veritable Essence Energy continuously condensed, and his cultivation became increasingly stable.
In just one day, Xiao Chen felt that his cultivation was as dense as when he advanced to half-step Sovereign Emperor one hundred years ago.
Xiao Chen continuously absorbed and refined the one-hundred-thousand-year-old Medicinal Energy of the Thunder Cliff Tree.
The Thunder Great Dao Energy contained in the Thunder Cliff Tree was simply too vast. Xiao Chen could only absorb less than one percent of it.
The Medicinal Energy scattered in the surroundings, turning into lightning as it spread out. From a distance, it looked like a sea of lightning.
Bit by bit, the Medicinal Energy sank into the ground, floated in the sky, or merged with the fog sea.
It was indeed a waste. However, even with less than one percent of the Medicinal Energy, the benefits were too great for Xiao Chen.
Seven days later, a loud rumble rang out, and the Thunder Might in Xiao Chen's body soared.
The Thunder Might was as sharp as a sword as it soared into the clouds and tore through the fog sea.
Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and an electric light flashed in them. The electric light in his eyes was like a saber flashing for a moment.
"Boom!"
Loud buzzing sounds came from Xiao Chen's body. His Thunder Dao Domain broke through two layers in a row, directly reaching the third layer.
In a mere seven days, Xiao Chen's Thunder Dao Domain advanced from the first layer to the peak of the third layer.
Xiao Chen thought back to when Mu Yunzhu sat on the Comprehension Platform for a month to break through the bottleneck of his Profound Light Dao Domain.
Now, Xiao Chen broke through the bottleneck of two Dao Domains, reaching the peak of the third layer of the Thunder Dao Domain.
This was simply incredible. However, when he thought about how Xiao Chen absorbed a one-hundred-thousand-year-old Herb King Thunder Cliff Tree, all of this seemed natural.
Furthermore, this was just one percent of the Herb King Thunder Cliff Tree's Medicinal Energy.
"Fortunately, I forcefully absorbed it now. If I went out and traded it with another Faux God expert, I would have suffered a great loss, no matter what treasure I obtained. "
A bright light flickered in Xiao Chen's eyes, revealing a strong sharpness that others did not dare to look at directly.
As far as Xiao Chen knew, no one in the entire Faux God World had broken through to the second layer of the Dao Domain.
Even an outstanding talent like Mu Yunzhu's Profound Light Dao Domain only reached the peak of the second layer.
Without a miracle, it would be impossible for Mu Yunzhu to break through to the third layer without ten years.
Given this, Xiao Chen finally had a trump card to deal with the other false Emperors — the third-layer Thunder Dao Domain.
However, the benefits that the Thunder Cliff Tree brought to Xiao Chen were far from limited to just this.
After Xiao Chen completely refined the Thunder Cliff Tree, his Divine Lightning Eye advanced to peak Consummation.
Xiao Chen vaguely sensed that he could use the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning that he obtained in the Kunlun Realm.
However, many Faux Gods were watching, so it was not good to try.
Compared to the improvement of the Thunder Dao Domain, that Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning excited Xiao Chen even more.
"Whoosh!"
The Thunder Cliff Tree in Xiao Chen's hand lost its Medicinal Energy and immediately turned into ashes, scattering with the wind. Only purple leaves that were as hard as divine metal remained.
Every purple leaf contained tribulation lightning patterns. The patterns were twisted like naturally formed divine characters, looking very profound.
After counting them, there were exactly three hundred and sixty purple leaves. He felt that these purple leaves were very extraordinary.
After observing them for a while, Xiao Chen carefully put them away. His heart surged with excitement, and his entire body felt indescribably carefree.
Xiao Chen could not hide the excitement in his eyes. The opportunity of this Thunder Cliff Tree was simply too startling.
"If that Gu Yuhan meets me again, there is no need for me to play tricks with him."
In the end, Xiao Chen had relied on his scheming to win against Gu Yuhan, allowing him to leave.
Although Xiao Chen acknowledged the other party's strength, he did not feel that he was much weaker than the other party.
Back when Xiao Chen recovered from his internal injuries, he had thought of fighting the other party again.
"After seven days, I wonder if I still have a chance to explore the final trial land of Paradise?"
After Xiao Chen calmed his emotions, a brilliant light flashed in his eyes as he quickly traveled through the fog sea.
