At that moment, in the divine tree's restricted zone, Yi Yun's body was enveloped in an azure-green luster. His entire being exuded an indescribable ethereal aura, as though he was riding the wind.
Yue Yingsha and Chu He were still outside the Chaos Gem house. They could sense that Yi Yun's aura had undergone a tremendous change. It was no longer just a strengthening, but a qualitative leap. This leap even made Yue Yingsha feel as though Yi Yun was about to ascend to immortality.
"Yi Yun must have manifested his Dao …"
Yue Yingsha could not see Yi Yun's Dao Tree projection, but she could vaguely guess that Yi Yun's Dao Manifestation was likely extraordinary.
At that moment, boundless energy suddenly surged out of the ground like a geyser. All of it was injected into Yi Yun's body. Yi Yun's tendons, flesh, bones, and blood seemed to turn transparent as the energy surged through his body.
As the energy surged up along the divine tree's roots, Yue Yingsha saw a faint layer of light surface on the ground. The light quickly surged to Yi Yun's feet.
The divine tree's roots transmitted the energy to the trunk, and at that moment, Yi Yun had fused with the divine tree. At the instant the energy surged into Yi Yun's body, Yi Yun's body suddenly emitted an ancient and boundless aura.
The clear ringing of the bell continued resounding in the restricted zone. At that moment, Yi Yun gradually opened his eyes.
His gaze was clear and deep. During the process of fusing with the divine tree, Yi Yun's perception extended to every inch of the divine tree's leaves. Through the divine tree, he could sense the entire world.
He saw everything that had happened in the Door to the 33 Skies, including Felicitous Rain Lord's bloody battle, as well as Shi Xuanji and Demonic Eye Divine Lord's escape.
He also saw the restricted zone clearly. He saw everything inside the stone house that was carved out of Chaos Gem.
"This stone house …"
With a thought, Yi Yun was surprised to discover that there was a gray field in the stone house's backyard. It was likely a tiny herbal garden.
Yi Yun was somewhat excited when he first discovered the herbal garden, thinking that he might be able to find some herbs. But soon, Yi Yun was disappointed. The herbal garden might have once planted herbs, but they had all withered.
After hundreds of millions of years, no one had taken care of them. Regardless of the spiritual plants, they would all die.
Upon thinking of this, Yi Yun felt his heart ache. In such a miraculous place, with the addition of a hundred million years, how heaven-defying would the herbs be? Just thinking about it made him go crazy.
But now, the medicinal herbs had already turned into dust, returning to the great earth. There was nothing left, only this gray soil benefiting from it. After absorbing so many spiritual medicines' spiritual energy, it was unknown just how fertile it was.
Yi Yun was even considering if he should bring back some soil to plant herbs. Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly exclaimed softly. He suddenly realized that the gray soil itself was very unusual. The feeling of the soil was actually the same as the Chaos Stones in the stone house.
After rummaging it carefully, Yi Yun saw tiny Chaos Gem particles in the soil.
Could it be that someone had ground the Chaos Stones into powder, added some fertilizer, and finally turned the Chaos Stones into soil?
It was even possible that those elixirs that had withered and decayed were the fertilizer for the soil?
Upon realizing this, Yi Yun held his breath. This was a huge feat. Perhaps only the black-dressed female could do this.
However, for such a good medicinal field to be left uncultivated for hundreds of millions of years was too much of a pity!
Yi Yun could not help but probe the herbal field. If this were any other time, Yi Yun would not have been able to probe the sand that was ground from Chaos Gems. Chaos Gems shielded all senses, so even Divine Lords could not probe the interior of Chaos Gems.
However, after fusing with the divine tree, Yi Yun's perception could penetrate it. This probe left Yi Yun alarmed. In the gray herbal field, he saw an emerald-green ball buried deep within.
The sphere was about the size of a walnut, and its surface was not smooth. It had a walnut-like texture, and within the texture was an indescribable Daoist aura.
What left Yi Yun even more pleasantly surprised was that within this tiny walnut, there was a massive amount of gray mist condensed. After coming into contact with the Chaos Laws, Yi Yun knew that this gray mist was Grandmist energy!
Back when Yi Yun broke through to the Dao Manifestation realm, he had absorbed a portion of Grandmist energy. But now, the amount of Grandmist energy condensed in this tiny sphere was more than ten times what he had absorbed.
Grandmist energy was something that could only be chanced upon in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven. Even Divine Lords coveted it. When refining an artifact, just a tiny bit of Grandmist energy was enough to raise the artifact's quality by several levels. But in fact, nearly no one was willing to use Grandmist energy to refine artifacts. As long as the Grandmist energy was refined into one's body, one's flesh and blood would fuse with the Grandmist energy, resulting in an unimaginable increase in strength.
What was this walnut? How could it condense so much Grandmist energy?
With this thought in mind, Yi Yun carefully observed it. He discovered that it had the same aura as the divine tree that held down the Azure Wood Great World.
Could it be …
A thought flashed across Yi Yun's mind. This thought made him hold his breath slightly. He realized that the walnut was likely a seed produced by the World Tree!
Everything had life and death. Even the Universe was the same. Then, the divine tree naturally had life and death!
After experiencing the long river of time, it would eventually die. And this seed was probably its future rebirth!
The seed produced by the divine tree that held down the world grew in the herbal garden. It used Chaos Gem powder as its soil, while decaying hundred-million-year-old herbs as its fertilizer.
Then its value … was unimaginable!
Yi Yun was momentarily dumbfounded. If that was the case, this was definitely the most heaven-defying treasure he had seen since he began practicing martial arts, other than the Purple Crystal!
Yi Yun could not help but touch the herbal garden's soil. At this moment, Yue Yingsha and Chu He were still outside the stone hut. They did not know what Yi Yun was doing.
"The nutrients in the soil seem to have been completely absorbed by the divine tree's seed …"
The withered divine herbs had long offered their essence to the divine tree's seed. As for the soil made from Chaos Gem powder, the nebulous Primordial Chaos essence contained in it had been gathered by the divine tree's seed. If such a seed were to continue staying in the herbal garden, it would probably not grow again.
Yi Yun took a deep breath and shook his head. He gently pushed aside the soil that had its nutrients sucked dry. Following that, Yi Yun sensed that his bloodline seemed to connect with the divine tree seed buried deep in the soil.
Oh?
Yi Yun pushed aside some more soil. Then, without needing Yi Yun to do anything, the divine tree seed took the initiative to bore through the soil. It floated out of the soil and slowly landed in Yi Yun's palm.
Yi Yun was alarmed as he held the seed. He realized that the seed was willing to be close to him because he had previously awakened the divine tree and had fused with its aura.
Perhaps, he could take the divine tree seed away.
Upon coming to this realization, Yi Yun felt stirred. If the divine tree seed needed to be nurtured in the herbal garden to grow, Yi Yun would not have taken it away. Such a divine item would affect its growth if it was taken away too early.
But the present situation was completely different. The land was already barren, and the divine tree seed had taken the initiative to follow him. This was a peerless opportunity for him!
Yi Yun held the divine tree seed with both hands and had a focused expression. He was extremely careful. He felt that the seed was the most perfect thing in the world. Only the Purple Crystal's mysteries might surpass the seed.
Just as Yi Yun was admiring the seed, Yi Yun suddenly felt a cold killing intent coming at him.
Oh!?
Yi Yun's heart palpitated. His perception was connected to the divine tree. The killing intent came from outside the restricted zone.
