"Oh, failure in the Celestial Tree is a common occurrence, so cousin need not worry about it. How many of the ten Sky Leaves I gave you are left? "Fang Yun asked. Fang Yun did not mind. After all, death in the Celestial Tree would only slightly damage one's spiritual sense. Only the Demonic Barbarians he killed would die completely.
To the vast majority of people, the Celestial Leaf's function was to strengthen themselves through observing the world the first time they entered the Celestial Tree. Their path to the scholarly rank would become smoother, and if nothing unexpected happened, they would almost certainly become a scholar. Although the Sky Leaf could allow one to ascend to a higher level, it was not particularly useful for most people.
"There are eight pieces left. In truth, dying once in the Celestial Trees is not a big deal. When I went to the ranking just now, I discovered that the Barbarians in the Celestial Trees seemed to have gone mad, wantonly surrounding and suppressing the humans. They were either killed by the Barbarians or forced to leave. If I had known this, I would not have entered the Celestial Trees today, "Fang Yingwu said.
Fang Yundao said, "It's been several months since you entered the Celestial Trees for the first time, and there's still half a year until the Grand Scholar Exam. It's the perfect time for you to enter the Celestial Trees for the second time. You can't be blamed, only the demons and barbarians. Mm, leave the document here for now. I'll go take a look at the rankings. If the impact is too great, I'll go take a look at the Celestial Tree. "
"Yes."
After Fang Yingwu left, Fang Yun finished his work and entered the rankings with his official seal. He found that although there were not many topics related to the Celestial Tree, there were many people discussing it. Moreover, most of them were from aristocratic families. It was very difficult for ordinary scholars to climb the Celestial Tree, so they could only look and not speak.
"I was besieged by dozens of Demonic Barbarians. What a pity. I could have stayed longer."
"It is said that a Grand Scholar of the Sun clan tried in vain to cultivate in the fourth layer of the Celestial Tree and become a Child of the Celestial Tree. In the end, he was surrounded and killed by the Demonic Kings, and his path to becoming a Child of the Celestial Tree was cut short."
"The Kong clan is truly worthy of being called the number one clan. They actually managed to invite Hanlin Academy's number one sword, Peng Zaozhao. He's the only son of the Hanlin Academy's Celestial Tree. With him here, the third layer of the Celestial Tree won't be purged by the Monster Barbarians!"
"I heard that Fang Xusheng has already reached the third level. It's a pity that he's just a Jinshi, so he's not that useful. "
"Not necessarily. Fang Xusheng had a fortuitous encounter in the Celestial Trees and obtained a power that even the Demonic Barbarians could not obtain."
"Stop bragging about Fang Xusheng! He was just a scholar, not a saint! In the face of so many Daemon Marquises and Barbarian Marquises from the third layer of the Celestial Tree, even the armless Hanlin Academy was only able to put up a slight resistance. No matter how powerful Fang Xusheng is, he can't reach the level of the Seventh Hall Hanlin Academy, much less the level of the Hanlin Academy's Ten Elders. Just what can he use to challenge the third layer? "
The rankings were all based on real names. Fang Yun looked at the last name carefully. It was Jia Guo, surnamed Lei.
However, Fang Yun wasn't provoked by the Lei family's words. Instead, he seriously considered his own strength.
Although he was strong, those old Han Lin Scholars were not to be outdone. As for the Demon Marquises and Barbarian Marquises, they were not weak either. From the ordinary Demon Marquises to the Royal Clan, the Sacred Clan, the Sacred Clan, the Sacred Clan, the Sacred Clan, the Sacred Clan, the Sacred Clan, the Sacred Clan, the Sacred Clan, the Sacred Clan, the Sacred Clan, the Sacred Clan, and even the Ancestral God Clan. Every time his bloodline increased by one level, his strength would increase tremendously.
The bloodlines of the Demon Marquis and Barbarian Marquis were different. Their strength would gradually increase from one plain to seven plains. The human race's Han Lin Sect was modeled after the Seven Great Plains of the Demon Race. He had created seven Hanlin Academy Halls.
Fang Yun was confident that he could fight against an ordinary Seven Plains Demonic Marquis, but he would just barely be able to deal with a Seven Plains Demonic Marquis. If he ran into a Seven Plains Demonic Marquis, he would find it difficult to even protect himself.
As the son of Half-saint. He was also a Demonic Marquis and a Barbarian Marquis, far, far stronger than a mere Grand Scholar like Fang Yun.
A single punch from a Seven Plains Demonic Marquis could reverse rivers and shatter mountains. He treated the human city walls like they were nothing.
Fang Yun quickly skimmed through the rankings, then he sent letters to Ceng Yuan and a few of his friends from the great clans, inquiring about the Celestial Trees.
It turned out that the Demonic Barbarians had begun the 'Celestial Tree Encirclement' operation, intending to completely purge the various levels of the Human race and forbid them from tempering themselves in the Celestial Trees.
After reading the letter, Fang Yun immediately felt that something was wrong. To the Human race, only the first level of the Celestial Trees, the 'Heaven Earth Observation', was useful. The later levels were actually used by the great clans to nurture special fighting talents. People like Peng Zaozhao, who had become a Child of the Celestial Tree while still in the Hanlin Academy, were few and far between. They were definitely not worth the Demonic Barbarians going to war with.
Moreover, the most outstanding geniuses of the Human race would find it very difficult to enter the higher levels. In recent years, only Fang Yun and Peng Zaozhao had managed to enter the Celestial Trees.
"Could it be … that the Celestial Trees have changed?"
Fang Yun did not act rashly. After waiting for a while, he received news from the Kong clan. They also suspected that the Celestial Trees had changed, so they sent even more people to investigate.
Soon after, a few Half-saint clans came to Fang Yun to borrow Celestial Leaves. Although the Half-saint clans could produce Celestial Leaves, their production was very low and the production process was slow, so they did not have many in stock.
Last time, Fang Yun had gone on a killing spree on the second level of the Celestial Tree and obtained several tens of thousands of Celestial Leaves, far surpassing the total stock of all the Half-saint clans.
Since the clans wanted to borrow, they would inevitably owe him a favor. Fang Yun very happily lent them three thousand leaves in one go.
After borrowing the Celestial Leaves, Fang Yun placed the ink tortoise in the Education Palace.
The ink tortoise was a wondrous creature of the world and could be placed in the Education Palace just like the powerful literary treasures.
After making some preparations, Fang Yun lay on his bed and sent his mind into the Education Palace.
Fang Yun's Education Palace was like a divine temple standing in the middle of a primordial era, simple and boundless, grand and majestic. In the sky above the Education Palace, dazzling stars shone, their starlight like water, cleansing all things.
Soon after, Fang Yun activated the power of the Celestial Leaf. The Celestial Tree sapling in the Education Palace exerted a powerful suction force that sucked in Fang Yun's spiritual sense.
The world spun, and Fang Yun opened his eyes. He discovered that he was on a green continent. From a distance, he could see the edge of the continent three hundred li away.
As Fang Yun spun around, he observed his surroundings. Only then did he confirm that he was on a massive leaf with a diameter of around five hundred li. Above the leaf were layers upon layers of massive leaves, the smallest of which was around one hundred li long while the largest was around one thousand li long.
This was the mystical Celestial Tree.
Fang Yun felt a strange object on his left shoulder. Turning his head, he saw a translucent ink tortoise lying on his shoulder, looking around in confusion.
The translucent Ink Lady floated in the air while the mist butterfly grabbed her and slowly flapped its wings. From Fang Yun's perspective, the Ink Lady seemed to have grown a pair of rainbow-colored wings and become a butterfly demoness.
Fang Yun extended a finger and lightly stroked the Ink Lady's head. The Ink Lady immediately obediently rubbed herself against his finger in satisfaction.
The ink tortoise raised its head and stared very seriously at Fang Yun, as if asking how Fang Yun had managed to trick it into coming in.
Fang Yun ignored the ink tortoise. He observed its back and saw that there was a translucent ink on it, so he relaxed. This meant that he could borrow the power of the Ink Lady and the ink tortoise to increase the power of the war poem!
The human scholars had entered with their spiritual senses and had their bodies reconstructed by the Celestial Tree, so they could not bring any external objects with them. The only exception was the powerful wondrous creatures of the world. However, the human race did not have many wondrous creatures like the mist butterfly, the ink tortoise, and the Ink Lady.
Within the Celestial Tree, the human race was completely behind the Demonic Beasts and Barbarians.
