Su Fang was able to fully grasp the cultivation base and strength of the more than twenty powerhouses under the perception of Great Perfection.
All of them had the strength of two Calamity Realm Ascension Immortals. Only a few of them had the strength of one Calamity Realm Ascension Immortals. Together with the old man, the combined strength of these twenty plus experts was truly astonishing.
All of them were old antiques of large factions.
The old man led everyone along the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree and the Origin Source Spirit Stone Spirit Vein Seal. They circled around a few times and carefully examined every corner.
After a while, everyone arrived at the Origin Source Spirit Vein Seal and floated in the middle of countless spirit roots. They saluted the old man: "Elder Gou."
The old man's voice was imposing: "This is one of the most famous spirit items of Zhuo Tian Domain, the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree."
An expert replied: "Compared to the spirit items of my Eternal Heaven Domain, it is indeed on par."
"How can it be compared to the treasures of my Eternal Heaven Domain?" Immediately, another expert disagreed.
Just like that, these experts spoke one after another, but Su Fang heard the information that he wanted to know clearly.
"So these experts are from Eternal Heaven Domain."
Su Fang naturally knew about Eternal Heaven Domain. It was about the same distance from Zhuo Tian Domain and Wu Tan Domain. It was also a famous cultivation holy land.
Back then, when he was in Celestial Sealing Sect, he learned from the sect's books that Celestial Sealing Sect had established a chamber of commerce in Eternal Heaven Domain and had connections with some factions there.
"I remember now. Among the countless factions that chased me into Xianzha Gate, I suppressed more than a hundred experts. They were experts from Eternal Heaven Domain."
"Then it can be explained immediately. At that time, there were also experts from Eternal Heaven Domain who escaped the barrier set up by Venerable Hei Yun. When they returned to Eternal Heaven Domain, they spread the news of Xianzha Gate. In the end, Eternal Heaven Domain sent experts to kill them."
"They did not come with good intentions. With so many experts, they are definitely the elites of the elites. Maybe there are Immortals hiding in the dark. Especially that old man surnamed Gou, he should also have a Dao Artifact."
After understanding the origins of these people, he naturally understood their purpose in coming here.
Su Fang frowned again, "These people came to the Zhuo Tian Realm to openly seize resources. Zhuo Tian Realm obviously started to have undercurrents not long after I left. Maybe the Zhuo Tian Realm is even more complicated than I imagined."
At this moment, Elder Gou spoke again in a dignified tone, "We came to the Heavenly Gourd Domain this time to seize the Heavenly Gourd Spiritual Tree. I reckon there are experts under the Realm Lord guarding this spiritual tree. However, Realm Lord Zhuo Tian can't take care of the Heavenly Gourd Spiritual Tree now. He should be guarding the Xianzha Gate with all his might. Therefore, we can spend some time to uproot the Heavenly Gourd Spiritual Tree and dig out the nearby Origin Source Gems, such as Origin Source Stones and Origin Source Essences."
"We will listen to Elder Gou. When the time comes, Elder Gou, please guide us in front of the Realm Lord and the unmatched immortals." The experts immediately expressed their stance, rushing towards the elder like a flock of bees.
"I, Gou Tianshuo, represent the Realm Master. The Realm Master also wants the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree. He wants us to seize the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree before the other forces come."
Elder Gou stroked his beard. "Everyone, form hand seals with me. Let's see if we can break this seal and think of a way to take the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree."
With Su Fangda's full power, the elder led the experts down below to form a huge Origin Source Vein.
They surrounded the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree.
The Origin Source Vein merged with the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree's Origin Source Vein. This Origin Source Vein had already transformed into the shape of a tree root. Adding on the seal, it caused the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree to take root in the core.
Tut tut.
Everyone followed Gou Tianshuo's lead. Their hand seals merged together, forming a large number of finger seals that grabbed at the ancient seal.
The ancient seal constantly trembled, causing the core to tremble. Their combined strength was not to be underestimated. They were actually able to break some of the seal's power.
However, compared to the entire seal, this bit of damage was nothing.
Gou Tianshuo led the experts and used this kind of violent method to continuously attack the seal. The shockwaves from their attacks also struck some of the smaller Spirit Roots. However, the huge Spirit Roots were extremely tough, and they still took root in the core.
A few days later, the core region gradually calmed down.
"Gou Tianshuo brought these experts to destroy the Zhuo Tian Realm. These bandits are starting to plunder resources. They're destroying the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree and the Zhuo Tian Realm's core."
Su Fangda, who had been secretly sensing this, was furious. He wanted to attack.
Gou Tianshuo continued, "The World Lord's power truly is extraordinary. Because too much time has passed, the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree has merged with the core. If we continue like this, it might take a few hundred years before we can collect the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree. During that time, the core will collapse. We have to think of a new method."
"Elder Gou, didn't you tell us to prepare beforehand?"
"We cultivate the Wood Dao. We can use our wood energy and magical treasures to collect the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree."
"With so many of us working together, we can first absorb the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree's essence and store it in our magical treasures. Once the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree wilts, we can pull it up by the roots and take it away. Otherwise, we'll be affected by the core's collapse."
"We can try."
Quite a few experts gave suggestions to Gou Tianshuo.
So these people had long since made many preparations. Just for the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree, they had even found several experts who cultivated the Wood Dao.
Suddenly, Su Fang heard a few people talking about something, and his eyes shone brightly.
At this moment, several experts flew over and brought them into the depths.
Everyone followed the experts to seal the Yuan Stone spirit vein. Gou Tianshuo sent out a set of hand seals for a formation.
Five experts came to the center and floated below the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree's roots. After forming a few hand seals, they actually managed to sever one of the thick Spirit Roots. Then they used their wood True Qi to form a channel that merged with the Spirit Roots.
After a while, five more Spirit Roots grew out of that Spirit Root and wrapped around the five of them. It seemed that the five experts had merged with the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree.
Without waiting for them to activate the formation, the five experts activated their wood energy first. The Spirit Roots trembled and sent out five streams of life essence that slowly entered their bodies.
After waiting for a while, the speed still didn't increase.
Gou Tianshuo had more than two hundred experts activate the formation together. At this time, the formation's power increased by a shocking amount. When it entered the five experts' bodies, the rate of absorption increased by dozens of times.
But even so, with how big the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree was, it would probably take a very long time for them to absorb a portion of the tree's essence.
The progress was clear, but Gou Tianshuo was in a rush. He suddenly shouted to all the experts, "Which one of you is still a wood cultivator?"
Over two hundred experts trembled with fear. In the end, not a single one of them made a sound.
Just as Gou Tianshuo's expression turned cold, Su Fang walked out. "Sir, this subordinate was originally a cultivator from the Zhuo Tian World. I've come to the Heavenly Gourd Spirit World several times."
"Don't waste words." Gou Tianshuo shot him a domineering glance.
Su Fang trembled in fear. "A few hundred years ago, this subordinate obtained a spirit gourd, as well as a spirit flower from the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree. After I merged with the spirit flower, I was able to form a connection with the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree. As for my Flaming Cloud Spirit Gourd, it was able to absorb a large amount of the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree's essence. This subordinate offered the spirit gourd to you, and it was best for you to absorb the essence. I could also use the ability of the spirit flower to make the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree condense even more energy. That way, it would be easier for the five experts to extract the essence."
Hearing this, Gou Tianshuo's expression immediately changed. "Interesting. Then you came here to absorb more of the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree's essence?"
"Yes, yes. No, no. This subordinate was just temporarily absorbing the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree's essence for you." It seemed Su Fang was also the leader of this group of people.
Gou Tianshuo's smile became even more condescending, as if he had eaten honey.
As he waved his hand, an invisible force lifted Su Fang into the air. Under his control, he slowly floated up.
He suddenly shouted, "If you can really help me, I won't treat you unfairly. I'm an expert under the Eternal Heaven World's Realm Master. I'm a supreme expert in the Eternal Heaven World, and there's nothing I can't do."
"Yes, yes." Su Fang repeatedly nodded in shock.
Whoosh …
Gou Tianshuo flicked his finger, and Su Fang arrived in front of the five experts, closest to the bottom of the spirit root.
"Master, you're taking too much of a risk. That Gou Tianshuo's strength has reached three Calamity Stage, while you're at most one. With this kind of control, it won't be difficult for him to kill you."
"He is powerful, and he probably has a Dao item. He's even stronger than Li Zeqing. Only the Peng King and the Lord of Five Poisons are his opponents. But so what? In his mind, I'm just a Catastrophe Realm weakling who doesn't even have the strength to truss a chicken. This kind of carelessness is the key to turning defeat into victory."
"Yu 'er understands."
"Later, when I activate my ability, you will fuse a portion of the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree's essence with my physical body. I'll have to split my attention and pay attention to everything around me."
After communicating with Yu 'er, the power of a Dao item exploded within his body.
Before Su Fang attacked, he actually took out the Flamecloud Spirit Gourd. But before that, he took out all the treasures within it.
Whoosh.
He took the initiative to toss it to Gou Tianshuo.
"It really is a legendary spirit gourd. Such a treasure has actually reached the King grade. The space within it is also shocking."
At this moment, Gou Tianshuo was full of praise for the Flamecloud Spirit Gourd.
As for Su Fang, he was on edge. He was worried that Gou Tianshuo would take away the energy he had fused with the gourd in front of everyone. That would be equivalent to heavily injuring him.
Fortunately, Gou Tianshuo didn't do such a thing in front of countless experts. Instead, he took out the Flamecloud Spirit Gourd and let it float above the five experts. In other words, behind Su Fang, he began to prepare to absorb the essence that Su Fang had absorbed from the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree.
"Begin!" shouted Gou Tianshuo.
Under the suspicious gazes of many people, Su Fang formed a hand seal and released the same wood-attribute true qi as the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree.
A spirit flower actually grew out of the palm of his left hand.
This spirit flower's aura was eighty percent similar to the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree's aura. This was clearly the spirit flower he had obtained from the Heavenly Gourd Spirit Tree.
After the spirit flower appeared, what shocked everyone was that a large number of tentacles grew out of the flower and touched the bottom of the spirit tree.
"So he really is a cultivator with potential."
Gou Tianshuo smiled deeply. Most likely, he hadn't believed Su Fang before. But now that he saw it with his own eyes, he had no choice but to believe it.
"After breaking through to the tenth Level of Calamity, my physical body's power has greatly changed. My wood-attribute power is the same. The Subduing Dragon Tree's left arm has been baptized by the heavenly tribulation. It's several times stronger than my wood-attribute power."
A large number of tentacles grew out and touched the bottom of the spirit tree. Then they drilled into the spirit tree.
All the experts present let out startled cries.
That was especially true of the five experts. Each of them was a Flying Immortal with one or two Calamity Tribulation Heavenly Dao. But at this moment, they realized that their wood-attribute power was no longer comparable to a Calamity Tribulation cultivator.
