"Blessing of the Heavens and Earth!"
Qin Nan waved his hand. Wisps of energy immediately poured down from the sky into the Celestial Tree, causing its aura to skyrocket. Its strength soon surpassed the Celestial Highness Tree's.
"It should be fine now."
Qin Nan murmured.
That being said, with the current strength of the Celestial Tree, it would take a long time for it to claim the Celestial Highness Tree.
"Brother Lin, let's refine the Celestial Highness Tree too!"
Ji Xuan collected his thoughts. His face was filled with excitement.
Those were Celestial Highness Trees!
If he could refine one of them, how much would his strength skyrocket?
Qin Nan exchanged glances with the Mingchu Progenitor and said with a smile, "Sure, let's try."
Qin Nan flew toward one of the Celestial Highness Trees.
As he thought, when he was around a hundred zhang away from the Heaven Highness Tree, a terrifying space-time force loomed over him, immobilizing him.
"Brother Lin, why did you stop?" Ji Xuan was astounded.
"I can't refine the Celestial Highness Tree. It's not suitable for me," Qin Nan shook his head and said.
"Ji Xuan, the Celestial Highness Tree isn't suitable for me either. You should try," the Mingchu Progenitor said.
Ji Xuan was startled. He felt like Qin Nan and the Mingchu Progenitor were acting strange.
Why weren't they interested in the two Celestial Highness Trees?
"Fine, I'll go if you don't want to. Remember to help me later."
Ji Xuan was too lazy to ask. He immediately went up to one of the Celestial Highness Trees and executed a powerful move.
To Ji Xuan's surprise, the Heaven Highness Tree unleashed a tremendous aura as if it had received some kind of provocation. Its branches and leaves lashed at Ji Xuan like God-Whipping Whips. They were densely packed together.
"F * ck!" Ji Xuan immediately cursed. He didn't care so much and ran back.
With his current cultivation, if he was struck by the Celestial Worthy Tree, he would be severely injured even if he didn't die.
"What's the situation with the Celestial Tree? Why is it that when I try to refine it, it's as if I've gone mad? "
Ji Xuan said with lingering fear.
"Ji Xuan, give up on that idea. With your current cultivation base, you won't be able to obtain the Celestial Worthy Tree even with my help."
Qin Nan smiled as he watched.
In the records of later generations, only the Celestial Tree had refined two Celestial Trees. There was no news of anyone else refining them, so Ji Xuan would definitely fail.
"Alright, since we can't refine the Celestial Tree, why don't we try to refine the Golden Red Earth and the Deep Blue Lake together?"
Ji Xuan rolled his eyes and quickly changed his target.
This golden-red earth and deep blue lake were existences that were even more powerful than the Celestial Tree!
"Wait, let me sense it first."
Qin Nan waved his hand. His body turned into crystal as his powerful senses spread downward like a giant net.
A few moments later, Qin Nan's figure shuddered.
"Let's not bother with these two places. Otherwise, it's very likely that we'll die here!"
Qin Nan shook his head.
He had noticed that the sources of the golden-red earth and the Deep Blue Lake were gathered together. In other words, no matter which one they were refining, it was equivalent to refining both of them.
By then, they would surely suffer the retaliation of the golden-red earth and the Deep Blue Lake.
With their current cultivation, there was no way they could survive the counterattack. They would only stand a chance if Qin Nan, the Heavenly God, and Zhou Di teamed up to take on the beasts.
"Doesn't that mean we didn't get anything after all this time?" Ji Xuan said in disappointment.
"Old Ji, since when did you become so stupid?" Mingchu Progenitor snapped, "Do you think this is the end of this mysterious place? Have you forgotten that a huge change happened here, which caused the ten Celestial Venerate Trees to come back early? "
Ji Xuan was startled. He quickly collected his thoughts and slapped his head.
He had been focusing on the Heaven Highness Tree, the golden-red earth, and the Deep Blue Lake.
"Where should we go now? Do you want me to read your fortune? "
Ji Xuan asked immediately. He was eager to try.
"There's no rush, let's wait for the Celestial Tree to stabilize the situation first."
Qin Nan waved his hand.
Time gradually passed. Three hours were gone in the blink of an eye.
The battle between the Celestial Tree and the Heaven Highness Tree was still intense, but it was obvious that the Celestial Tree was gradually gaining the upper hand and suppressing the Heaven Highness Tree.
"Mm, it's about time."
Qin Nan rose to his feet and left a mark on the golden ground with a flick of his finger. If the Celestial Tree was in danger, he would know immediately and rush back.
"Cultivator Lin!" Meanwhile, the Heaven-Reaching Dao Tree's voice echoed in their ears, "When I was fighting the Heaven Highness Tree, I noticed that it was constantly channeling its energy to the east. I believe the secret of the unusual change is there. "
It had no interest in the unusual changes in this mysterious land. All it wanted was to refine one or two Celestial Venerate Trees. That was enough. As such, it decided to tell Qin Nan the news.
The eyes of Qin Nan and the others glittered. They immediately brought their fists together and said, "Thank you, senior."
Saying this, the three did not stay any longer. They quickly flew out of the valley and headed east.
In their line of sight, the east was still a vast and boundless golden land. Not even the shadow of a mountain peak could be seen.
However, the three were not in a rush. They did not unleash their full strength. They maintained their speed and flew in that direction.
Around half the time it took an incense stick to burn, the three saw a patch of green.
"The Ancient Forest?"
The three immediately picked up their pace. The patch of green gradually enlarged in their eyes. After around a hundred breaths, they finally saw the original appearance of the forest.
The ancient trees looked as if they had been growing for tens of thousands of years. Their trunks resembling dragons were extremely thick, with countless branches and leaves extending from them. They were like ancient mountains, emitting an enormous pressure.
In terms of appearance, the ancient trees were similar to the Celestial Highness Tree and the Celestial Tree.
More importantly, every single tree here contained a boundless amount of pure energy. Even the exotic flowers and herbs that grew beside these trees contained a significant amount of pure energy.
"These trees … could they be the Dragon Serene Immortal Trees?" Ji Xuan gradually came to a conclusion after inspecting them for a while. His eyes flickered with astonishment. In the Primary Upper World, the Dragon Nether Immortal Tree was an extremely rare ancient Immortal Tree. Each of them had an astonishing value and was extremely valuable. Normally, it was rare to see one or two Dragon Serene Immortal Trees in a year in the auction houses of the Primary Upper Realm. Even if they did, they would only be around a thousand years old.
Dragon Serene Immortal Trees.
However, there were at least a thousand Dragon Serene Immortal Trees in front of them. Judging from their auras, they had all reached the age of ten thousand years old.
On top of that, they were only at the outermost part of the Ancient Forest!
If the Dragon Serene Immortal Trees were already at the outermost part of the Ancient Forest, what kind of resources would they find at the center, or even the deepest part of the Ancient Forest?
"We've come to a land of treasure … ah, no, that's not right, I can't even describe this place as a land of treasure!"
Ji Xuan exclaimed. He was extremely excited. He immediately unleashed wisps of flames of the Rules of Cultivation to refine one of the Dragon Serene Immortal Trees without any hesitation.
If he only refined the Dragon Serene Immortal Trees at the outermost part of the Ancient Forest, the energy he would obtain would be comparable to a Celestial Highness Tree.
"Huh?"
Ji Xuan soon noticed something out of place.
"Every Dragon Serene Immortal Tree here is strengthened by the force of the Heavens and Earth. As a result, your refining speed is at least ten times slower than usual."
Qin Nan immediately realized what was going on.
Normally, Ji Xuan would only need half an hour to completely refine a Dragon Nether Immortal Tree, but now, it would take him at least 40 hours.
"The refining process is so slow? Can I take them with me then? "
Ji Xuan frowned. He immediately summoned a giant hand of the Rules of Cultivation and grabbed at one of the Dragon Serene Immortal Trees.
To his surprise, the Dragon Serene Immortal Tree seemed to have come alive from ancient times. It unleashed a shocking Martial Force to resist Ji Xuan's power.
On top of it, the other Dragon Serene Immortal Trees nearby were restless too.
"Damn it, it's going to take a lot of time and effort to refine a Dragon Serene Immortal Tree."
Ji Xuan cursed.
"No wonder the mysterious man said we can stay here for half a year. Now that I think about it, half a year isn't really a long time. "
Mingchu Progenitor said.
With Ji Xuan's current cultivation, it would take him at least three to five years to refine all the Dragon Serene Immortal Trees.
"Since time is limited, there's no need for us to keep an eye on the things at the outermost part of the place. We should go deeper and refine the best resources here."
Qin Nan said.
Ji Xuan and Mingchu Progenitor nodded.
"I'll merge with the Heavens and Earth first. It'll be easier for me to find the rare phenomenon too."
Qin Nan's figure turned transparent as he finished the sentence. He activated the power of his Flesh of Origin.
"Mm?"
Qin Nan's eyes flickered with astonishment.
This world was actually rejecting him, and it was incomparably strong.
Even with his current strength, he could not forcefully merge with the Heavens and Earth.
"Could it be …"
Qin Nan had a hunch. He tried to control the force of the Heavens and Earth while unleashing his sharp senses. He even released his Divine Sense.
He soon discovered that all three of them were greatly suppressed. They were less than one-fiftieth of their usual strength.
Mingchu Progenitor and Ji Xuan immediately speculated when they saw Qin Nan's reaction. They immediately activated their eye-techniques and released their Divine Sense.
As they thought, they were greatly suppressed too. It was even worse than Qin Nan's.
"This place isn't ordinary. It must have merged with a lot of the Origin Force."
Qin Nan said.
His Flesh of Origin was a magical existence. It was able to merge with the Heavens and Earth. If the Heavens and Earth were trying to stop him, they would have to merge with other Origin Forces.
"Fine, let's head inside."
Qin Nan and the others exchanged glances with one another and nodded. They flew into the ancient forest.
Even though they had not encountered any danger in this mysterious place, apart from the trial, as long as they did not provoke it, they did not dare to let their guard down.
The place was too terrifying. It might even trigger the rare phenomenon of the ten Heaven Highness Trees. If any danger were to erupt, it would surely destroy the Heavens and Earth.
Time passed by slowly. The three of them continued to move forward. Ji Xuan's exclamation could be heard from time to time.
Qin Nan and the others had underestimated the ancient forest. Every time they advanced a few hundred thousand zhang, they would discover that the natural resources grew stronger. For example, the Spirit Flower of Three Spirits, the Life-Severing Grass, the Royal Heavenly Sacred Rock, the Martial Arts Ancient Tree, the Spirit Crossing Creek, etc.
There were even many heavenly materials and earthly treasures that were completely extinct in the entire Primary Upper Realm. There were no traces of them.
Three days and three nights were gone just like that.
Ji Xuan's cries of surprise gradually faded away as well. He gradually became like a sage. When he saw the heavenly resources, his heart did not waver at all, nor did he feel any heartache.
Soon, a blue lake with a circumference of around thirty li appeared in his sight. Wisps of white mist floated above it. Every drop of the lake contained a shocking pure force and a mystical force.
"The Blue Spirit Chalcedony Immortal Lake? Rumor has it that after drinking the lake's water, not only will your cultivation improve significantly, it will also grant you an ability similar to Feng Daoshu. It will pull you into a mystical state. It's very beneficial for creating your own Martial Arts. "
Ji Xuan recognized the lake's origin and said, "I've only heard master mention it before. I didn't think it actually existed."
Despite what he said, he did not have any other thoughts.
There was still a long way ahead. Who knew what kind of natural resources there would be ahead?
Qin Nan and Mingchu's thoughts were similar to Ji Xuan's. They glanced at the lake and continued forward.
All of a sudden, he came to a stop as he passed by a white flower.
"What's wrong?"
