Following that, just as he had expected, the giant black tree was still shrinking.
Although the shrinking speed was extremely slow, once everyone focused all their attention on it, they could still easily discover the changes.
There was no need for the giant black tree to shrink to its limit. As long as its countless waving tree roots no longer blocked the entire passageway, everyone would be able to slip past the edge of the passageway.
After understanding this, the tens of thousands of cultivators in the passageway were greatly energized.
Time flew by, and everyone would occasionally take pills to replenish their lost Tian Yuan. No matter which sect the Heavenly Monarch came from, they would all make sufficient preparations before they set off. They would bring along many healing or recovery pills, so they wouldn't have to worry about running out of pills in a short period of time.
Unknowingly, the giant tree had shrunk to almost half its original size. Even the longest tree root had only barely touched the side wall of the passageway when it stretched out to its limit.
As long as it shrank by another ten meters, there would be a safe area on both sides of the passageway that was large enough for everyone to pass through.
Everyone looked at the giant black tree with burning eyes, their expressions filled with unconcealable excitement. They had long since discovered that the giant tree was shrinking faster and faster. Before long, everyone would be able to pass through the passageway and truly reach the Immortal Ruins inside.
Amidst their excitement, everyone's gazes would occasionally sweep across the figure at the bottom of the tree, their hearts filled with emotion.
So many fourth, fifth, sixth, and even peak sixth grade Heavenly Lords were helpless against the giant black tree. However, in the end, it was a third grade Heavenly Lord who opened up the path to the "Beginner Immortal Encyclopedia" for everyone. Before entering this passageway, no one had expected such a situation to occur.
"The reason why that tree shrunk is because Gu Ying is absorbing its power."
A white-clothed man with a slightly feminine face squinted his eyes and said slowly, "No matter how strong the flesh body of a third grade Heavenly Lord is, it is impossible for it to contain such a majestic power. Gu Ying must be carrying some sort of treasure that can store power, in order to be able to keep such a huge amount of power for herself."
The dozen or so cultivators who heard this subconsciously nodded their heads.
They had long since thought of this possibility. Only by doing so could they explain the unforeseen event that had happened in front of them. The more they understood the reason, the more envious and jealous the cultivators felt towards Tang Huan.
The black giant tree was ferocious and tyrannical. It had monstrous power and regarded tens of thousands of Heaven Monarchs as nothing. Everyone had already experienced the boundless power it contained. If such a terrifying power was completely refined by one person, how terrifying would his cultivation and strength be?
In the blink of an eye, everyone looked at each other with an indescribable look in their eyes.
Nearly a hundred thousand gazes continued to wander back and forth between Tang Huan and the giant tree, but Tang Huan, who was sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the giant tree, was still as motionless as a boulder. Regardless of whether it was the waves of voices from the crowd, the wailing of the giant tree, or the waves of whistling sounds from the waving of the tree roots, none of them were able to disturb him in the slightest.
The black tree's power continuously entered Tang Huan's body from the roots, and then flowed into the cave.
As time passed, the speed at which Tang Huan absorbed the energy became faster and faster. At first, the energy was like a slowly flowing trickle, but now, it had turned into a surging and roaring river. It was as if it could topple mountains and overturn the seas, flowing for a thousand miles, and the resistance from the giant tree became weaker and weaker.
At this moment, Tang Huan had already split her attention to two things. While frantically absorbing energy, she also activated the "Limitless Sword Formation" within the cave space with all her might, transferring the energy that she had absorbed to various areas of the cave space, and then slowly fusing it into the cave to repair the damaged areas.
Under the close attention of the crowd, the giant tree shrank even more clearly.
"..."
"It's all thanks to Gu Ying. Otherwise, we don't know how long we would have to wait before we can think of a way to safely pass through this passage."
"I wonder how the cultivators who entered the other eight sects are doing? Have we safely passed through? "
"I'm afraid it's very difficult, right? After all, it's impossible for a freak like Gu Ying to appear in every passageway, to be able to absorb such a huge amount of energy. "
"That's hard to say. Those who entered those passageways were all the strongest Heavenly Monarchs from the various sects, and many of them carried the treasures of their respective sects. For example, our Endless City's Senior Sister Hua Qianshuang brought along our sect's' Cloud Absolute Immortal Cover ', which is a defensive treasure."
"..."
The gap between the giant tree and the side wall of the passage grew larger and larger. Everyone's hearts were filled with anticipation, and they forcefully suppressed the urge to immediately pass through the empty space on both sides. At the same time, everyone was extremely curious about the situation behind the other eight arches.
Behind each of the nine arches in the void, there must be a huge danger.
Compared to this passage that only had tens of thousands of cultivators, the other eight passages had even more cultivators. On average, there were more than a hundred thousand people in each passage. Although there was strength in numbers, if they encountered a monster like this giant black tree, no matter how many people they had, it would be useless.
Of course, the ten great sects had countless treasures. If there was someone like "Gu Ying" with a powerful treasure, it was not impossible for them to pass through this passage first.
Thinking of this, many cultivators became anxious.
If the cultivators from the other passageways had entered the "Beginner Immortal Encyclopedia" earlier, the latecomers would probably only be able to pick up the leftovers and eat them. All the good stuff would fall into the hands of others.
"Everyone, it's about time. We can go over now!"
After a long while, a tall and sturdy man could no longer suppress the strong impulse in his chest and shot forward. At this moment, the gap on the right side of the giant tree was already more than ten meters long. As long as he was careful and didn't get too close to the tree roots, he could easily pass through it.
"Hurry up!" "Hurry up!"
"Haha, this moment has finally come. Everyone, let's hurry up!"
"Don't worry, let's wait a little longer."
"..."
As soon as the burly man moved, the rest of the cultivators who were eager to give it a try could no longer hold themselves back. One by one, they flew forward. In just a few short breaths of time, the burly man and the others at the very front had already whizzed past the walls of the passageway on both sides of the giant tree.
The giant black tree was like an enraged ancient beast. Its tree roots danced wildly, wanting to wrap around the figures on both sides and completely crush them. Unfortunately, even though it had extended its tree roots to the furthest point, it was still about ten meters away from the side wall of the passageway, completely touching the bodies of the cultivators that were passing by.
Seeing this, many of the cultivators were extremely excited, and more and more Heavenly Monarchs began to move.
