The gods had taken the lead and named this ancient land of life the fifth divine planet. This made people wonder if there was a special meaning behind it. Could it be that there were four other ancient planets?
None of the major powers retreated. All of them rushed forward. The journey from Tan Mou Star Region to the fifth divine planet was long and many people had died along the way. Now that they were about to see the tree of life, who would give up?
"This planet isn't big. It seems to be about to wither up. The life fluctuations are very weak."
Even after approaching, the ripples on the life detector were very faint. This made people somewhat disappointed. This wasn't a huge planet.
"It's shrouded in leaden clouds, blocking our line of sight. It's difficult to scan the scenery on the ground."
Everyone was astonished. How could ordinary clouds obstruct the exploration of the cosmic mothership? However, this dark gray mist cut off all kinds of senses.
The planet was really small, of course, compared to the Eternal Lord Planet.
Ye Fan stared at the large screen and looked at the various scanned data. He learned that this planet was similar in size to Earth, but its life aura was very weak.
The dusky mist shrouded the planet, making the place look bleak. No one knew what the situation on the ground was like.
"Descend and prepare for battle!"
The first cosmic mothership rushed into the mist and landed on the ground, drawing out a silver-gray luster. The other organizations saw this and followed suit.
Very soon, people cried out in surprise. Their disappointment was greater than their joy. This was a gloomy planet. There were high hills, huge mountains, ravines, and other places. Withered trees had taken root and stretched towards the sky. There was almost no greenery, and there were withered plants everywhere. It was as if it had suffered a calamity and the entire planet had lost its vitality.
Ye Fan revealed a strange expression. In that instant, he had the illusion that this ancient planet used to be very big. However, it had withered, causing it to become smaller and smaller. It was a bit like Earth.
"This is a planet approaching the end of its life. The last vitality should have disappeared in the past few thousand years," the old mercenary Huo Bai said.
The lakes on the ground had all dried up. Many majestic mountains were no longer magnificent and lifeless. Old trees had lost all their leaves and were about to fall at any time. There were also many cliff scars of broken waterfalls.
This was disappointing. When a place of life was approaching its end, what kind of divine tree could there be? It had most likely been taken away.
"Eh, look, there's some green life there."
Inside Ye Fan's battleship, a mercenary stared at a cliff on the screen. The life force there was very weak, and a green light flickered.
The flying ship drew a beautiful trajectory and descended from the sky. The old trees and vines on the cliff were all tangled up and withered. Amidst the yellow grass, there was a medicinal plant with a dozen or so green leaves, releasing the last of its spiritual energy.
The cabin door opened and everyone walked out.
"An old herb that's half the height of a person. This is … a Jade Unicorn Orchid. To be able to grow to such an extent, it must be at least fifty thousand years old. It's a Young King Herb!"
Everyone sighed in amazement. This was a precious medicine, but unfortunately, the world changed, and it also declined. It relied on its original spiritual essence to support itself until now, but now, its value was completely lost.
The old mercenary Huo Bai dug up the ground and found the dried up dragon vein. He nodded. Old Yao had relied on this to survive.
"What a pity. We finally found a life star. But it was a wasted trip." The other mercenaries were dispirited.
In the distance, a spaceship streaked past and rushed in another direction. There seemed to be a new discovery there. They also went on their way. Someone found a giant tablet and broke a restriction. Then, an ancient building complex appeared.
Soon after, people took action. Many abandoned cities appeared from the seal and towered on the ground.
"There really are traces of life. There used to be a group of natives here, but I don't know where they are now."
People rushed into the city and searched the buildings. Unfortunately, the useless items were mostly left behind by mortals.
"The cultivators of this star moved most of their sects away. That's why it's difficult to find their inheritance."
This was because, on those majestic mountains and the extraordinary valleys, there were clearly many traces of buildings that had been uprooted from the ground.
"The entire clan migrated. Where did they go?"
"It should be something that happened in the last ten thousand years."
"This planet still has slight life fluctuations. There should still be a part of the dragon vein underground that hasn't withered."
Not long after, a violent explosion came from the distance. A mothership was sunk, emitting a glaring light. Many spaceships rushed over.
"I found a majestic altar with a sprout of the Tree of Life enshrined on it. It's surging with essence energy!"
The Sacred Light Mercenary Group summoned their mercenaries and gathered there. They wanted to get a share of the delicious soup. Ye Fan, Huo Bai, Dao Yi, and the others rushed over.
This was discovered by the Brahman Race. They opened a sealing scroll and revealed an altar the size of a small mountain. It was made of black crystals and was of a grand scale.
There were many sacrificial items at the center of the altar, such as a few lustrous white holy bones, some dried bloodstains, and scattered artifacts. The most eye-catching item was a jade plate at the center. It was high up in the sky and emitted an astonishing aura of life.
There was a foot long tender branch on the pure white jade plate. There were a dozen or so green sparkling tender eyes on it. Essence energy lingered around them, but it was sealed by the jade plate and couldn't leak out.
"The Ancient Tree of Life!"
The people who rushed over cried out in surprise. The battle just now had started because of this.
"This is the Ancient Tree of Life's most tender divine sprout. It's its essence."
Some people rushed forward and found that the holy bones on the altar, the dried blood trough, and the other artifacts were all emitting light and sweeping them away.
"There are powerful restrictions on the altar. We can't attack it by force. Be careful."
People from all sides attacked together, wanting to destroy the ancient altar. The Tree of Life's tender branch had appeared. This was definitely a divine grade precious medicine that could regenerate flesh and bones from the dead. It also contained great dao fragments.
Ye Fan frowned. He didn't rush forward rashly and watched from afar. The old mercenary Huo Bai was also muttering to himself as he stood behind the crowd.
God's Organization had arrived. The black mothership covered the sky and covered the earth. It shot down a beam of blinding light and destroyed a part of the restrictions.
"The Tree of Life! Heavens, we really found this immortal medicine!"
Suddenly, cries of alarm came from the distance. The mothership was fighting, and experts were flying through the air. They clashed fiercely and all disappeared into a mountain ridge.
Boom!
At the same time, smoke and dust rushed into the sky from the altar. Everyone attacked together, and in the chaos, someone snatched away the Tree of Life's tender branch.
In the depths of the mountain range a hundred li away, multicolored light rushed into the heavens. Auspicious colors flourished and could be seen even from far away. Many people turned around and rushed over. Compared to the true Ancient Tree of Life, a small tender branch was nothing.
In a short hundred li, many people shed blood. In order to reduce the number of competitors, they plotted against each other. Even God's Organization was secretly attacked, and a piece of the cosmic mothership was damaged.
People rushed into the mountain range amidst the chaos, leaving behind many corpses and bloodstains. The value of an immortal tree could even move great emperors, let alone these people.
"Ah …"
Miserable cries sounded one after another. Tens to hundreds of people lost their lives, but they couldn't get close to the wondrous tree. There was a terrifying formation here.
The majestic mountain range and magnificent peaks should have been a treasured land containing immortal energy. It had the aura of ascending immortals and emperors, but now, it was all dried up.
There were many old trees, and they were all dried up. Most of them had fallen onto the ground, and they would immediately break when stepped on. In the depths of this mountain range, green multicolored light surged. An immortal tree took root in the heart of the forest.
The other plants there had all withered, and the spring water had lost its spiritual essence. Only a meter tall ancient tree by the pond was still releasing spiritual essence.
For a tree, it really was quite short, the tallest being no more than 1.2 meters. However, the trunk was upright and strong, and there were cracks on its old bark. It was as if a horned dragon was hibernating here.
The leaves on its surface flickered with green multicolored light, dancing about like immortal rainbows. The mist of light was hazy, and it looked incomparably wondrous, making people feel close to it.
Meanwhile, dao sounds were rumbling in this place, surrounding the ancient tree. It was as if the primordial sound of heaven and earth being split apart was being released.
"It really is the Ancient Tree of Life. Who would have thought … it was actually left behind!"
Everyone was moved, and quite a few people couldn't help but roar towards the sky. This was simply a heavenly divine opportunity, an unimaginably great natural luck.
There were many corpses on the ground, and there were even large amounts of blood. It was clear that a struggle had just happened. No one could get close, and they could only watch from afar.
There was a stone tablet here. God Organization had appeared, and they were currently earnestly studying it. There were also people from a few great powers who came forward.
Some secrets were recorded on it. This ancient land had dried up, and they had no choice but to migrate their entire race. Serious internal strife had occurred along the way, and then they were attacked by terrifying cosmic creatures. They were almost completely wiped out, and an old saint risked his life to break out of the encirclement, bringing the Ancient Tree of Life back to their homeland.
Beside the stone tablet, there were traces of dao transformation, and only a piece of lustrous white bone remained. The old saint had long passed away in meditation many years ago.
"So that's how it is. The people of this ancient land of life were killed in the cosmos, and their race was most likely wiped out."
"That tender sprout on the altar was offered by him. Was he praying to the heavens to protect his race?"
Many people came to a sudden realization, and then their expressions became uncertain. They were anxious, but they had no way to go forward.
There was actually a Great Sage level formation here. Several saints attacked it, and all of them were heavily injured. The others died on the spot.
"This is the Great Sage's formation. Even experts of the same level might not be able to break through it. Unless one is wearing a divine mecha, they won't be able to enter."
The group was first delighted, but then despaired. The records of the Sutra Race's divine skin scroll were real, and they had finally found this ancient planet. But in the end, this was the result.
Even if they destroyed this ancient planet, this mountain range could still be preserved. They couldn't obtain the divine tree, and this kind of feeling of guarding a treasure mountain without being able to obtain it made them extremely unwilling.
God Organization was also helpless. They had come with four people, but none of them was a Great Sage. Their eyes flickered with uncertainty.
"The legendary immortal tree has disappeared for countless years, and now it has reappeared, but we can't obtain it." Everyone felt as if there was a bug gnawing on their hearts.
"Return to the Eternal Lord Planet and invite experts with profound dao patterns. I don't believe we can't open this place!"
In the end, after hundreds of attempts, and leaving behind a ground full of corpses, some of the great races rushed towards the Eternal Star Region.
They fought with speed and time, all wanting to be the first to return to the Eternal Lord Planet. They wanted to seize the initiative and have their elders invite experts to destroy this place and seize the immortal medicine.
Great Sage Yan Qi of the Fire Qilin Cave had led the ancient kings to seal the Eternal Lord Planet. They had attacked several times, but they couldn't break through the protection of the Ancient Sovereign Path. They had paid a blood price for nothing.
"There's a star door open there. The Ancient Sovereign Path has sealed this planet, and even they can't enter. Oh, a few more groups of people have appeared. Capture them all. "
Those who had rushed back from the fifth divine planet were immediately discovered. They were instantly captured by the ancient kings who descended from the sky, all of them pale.
"Great Sage, we've discovered a shocking piece of news!" A saint from the Fire Qilin Cave was trembling as he whispered to Great Sage Yan Qi.
"Lord Nine Phoenix King, something big has happened. In the distant starry sky … there's actually an immortal medicine!" On the other side, someone reported to the person in charge of the Blood Phoenix Mountain.
At the same time, the Qilin Heavenly King and the other ancient saints also learned of this. All of them were shocked. They personally interrogated the captives and examined their seas of consciousness.
"It really is an immortal medicine sprout. This is … the Ancient Life Tree!" Great Sage Yan Qi couldn't remain calm. Many cultivators had returned from the fifth divine planet to ask for help, but they were all captured. One of them took advantage of the chaos on the altar to snatch a sprout. Although it was only the size of a fingernail, it was enshrouded in immortal qi, illuminating Yan Qi and Fire Qilin's faces.
"I must obtain this immortal tree. Each immortal medicine contains a secret that even the primordial emperor was obsessed with!" Yan Qi stared at the sprout in his palm and quickly made a decision.
