He was also the strongest expert below the Eternal Realm he'd ever met.
Even if he didn't use any treasures refined from the Sovereign's Branch, Zhao Yuande wouldn't necessarily be able to do anything to him.
When the Primeval Thunder Ancestor arrived, he stood by the lake, and no one dared to approach him.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.
No more experts descended. Just as Zhao Yuande was feeling puzzled, he wondered when the changes had started to happen to the lake.
A series of rumbling noises came from the lake.
The dense fog above gradually dissipated, revealing a large lake with a circumference of over ten thousand miles.
It was as if there was an invisible giant hand stirring the water under the lake. The waves on the surface of the lake surged violently, reaching thousands of feet high.
Gradually, a giant whirlpool appeared at the center of the lake. The whirlpool spun nonstop, and the space at the center of the whirlpool grew larger and larger until a dark tunnel was revealed.
"It's finally open!" The Primeval Thunder Ancestor transformed into a bolt of purple lightning and was the first to charge into the dark tunnel.
The Bone Emperor was the second, and then the Third Patriarch.
Clearly, the others didn't dare to surpass them in terms of strength. Once the three of them entered, the rest of the experts began to rush into the tunnel in an uproar.
Zhao Yuande wasn't in a hurry. He waited until all the experts had entered before making his move.
He knew that he wouldn't be able to obtain the Sovereign's Branch by being the first to enter. It would likely take a fierce battle and a bloody massacre.
After entering the tunnel, Zhao Yuande discovered that it was a world of gold.
Just like the golden world he'd explored before, it was filled with golden light.
A surge of soul power surged around him, as viscous as honey.
In the distance, he saw the shadow of a giant tree that reached the heavens. The tree released a boundless power that enveloped the entire world.
In front of this giant tree, everything else was like an ant.
"Rumble!"
An earth-shattering sound rang out in his ears.
Immediately, he saw a golden giant of unfathomable height striding in his direction.
The giant was originally extremely far away from him, but with just one step, it was right in front of him.
Zhao Yuande immediately felt the boundless Soul Power around him being attracted by a powerful force and converging toward the golden giant.
With a thought, he did not resist. Instead, he allowed the huge suction force to take him towards the golden giant.
This was because he had used his Divine Soul to explore before, and at that time, the golden giant did not cause him any harm.
His body suddenly landed on the golden giant's body, as if he was a small ant stuck to it.
With the help of the golden giant's terrifying height, he saw a few figures in the distance that were constantly speeding away.
Among those figures was the Third Patriarch.
They all seemed to be rushing in a certain direction.
He was slightly surprised that these people wanted to go to the side of the giant tree.
Were they not worried about being swallowed by the giant tree?
However, Zhao Yuande quickly realized that the Third Patriarch had been here before, and had even acquired a leaf from the Sovereign Lord.
Otherwise, why would she have that strange statue? Following her was definitely the right choice.
It just so happened that the golden giant's goal was also the giant tree, so he didn't have to waste time chasing after it.
However, when he probed with his spirit, he secretly placed a strand of it in the body of a Deity Race expert behind the third patriarch.
"Let me see if I can absorb this Soul Power. The Soul Power here is as vast as the sea. It shouldn't be a problem for me to absorb a little!" Zhao Yuande suddenly had an idea.
He began to quietly absorb the Soul Power from the golden giant. As expected, the Soul Power was majestically absorbed into his sea of consciousness, constantly tempering his sea of consciousness and nourishing his Divine Soul.
At first, he absorbed it bit by bit, but when he saw that the golden giant was completely unaware, he became bolder.
The void vortex in his body opened and began to absorb large amounts of Soul Power.
In just a breath's time, the golden light in the area where Zhao Yuande was located began to dim.
"Hmm? What's going on?" Zhao Yuande suddenly realized that something was wrong.
This was because the golden giant had originally been walking toward the giant tree, but for some reason, it suddenly changed direction and began to walk back in the same direction it had come from.
Zhao Yuande was startled and hurriedly stopped absorbing the Soul Power.
As the golden giant turned around, the suction force on its body became even stronger, and the Soul Power in the surrounding area began to converge once more.
The area around him suddenly became resplendent with golden light.
Only then did the golden giant turn around.
Zhao Yuande's expression was strange as he began to absorb the vortex's power once more.
When the light in the area dimmed, the golden giant turned around once more.
"I know! This is simply a heavenly opportunity. Trying to snatch the Sovereign Lord's leaf is simply neglecting the essentials! "Zhao Yuande was incomparably excited.
He discovered that the golden giant was like an intricate machine whose parameters had been set by its master.
As long as it collected enough Soul Power, it would turn around. As long as it didn't have enough Soul Power, it would continue to collect.
If it was really as he thought, and he could continuously absorb Soul Power from the golden giant, his Divine Soul should be able to quickly advance to the next realm.
As long as his Divine Soul could break through to the Eternal Realm, his combat strength would increase infinitely.
At that time, even the Third Patriarch with that strange statue wouldn't be a match for him.
Thus, fighting over the Sovereign Lord's leaf was meaningless to him.
He would wait for these people to finish fighting over it, then take it from them.
He abandoned all distracting thoughts and began to absorb Soul Power.
His Divine Soul was also improving at an inconceivable speed. His Sea of Knowledge gradually began to expand, and the giant tree in his Sea of Knowledge became even more majestic.
Could the Heavenspan Realm in my Sea of Knowledge be like this vast world?
Zhao Yuande suddenly had an idea as he continued to absorb Soul Power.
He began to use Soul Power to condense golden giants in his Sea of Knowledge. Then, he poured a bit of his will into the golden giants' bodies, allowing them to continuously absorb the Soul Power he had absorbed.
Then, the golden giants would feed the collected Soul Power to the Heavenspan Tree in the center of his Sea of Knowledge.
However, he didn't dare to condense too much Soul Power. He only condensed twelve golden giants for the time being.
"But if I condense the golden giants now, won't these golden giants be useless once I leave this place?" Zhao Yuande was slightly worried.
"That's a good idea. If you can open up a space in the golden giant's body, I can help you set up a teleportation array in it." The Void Gourd's voice sounded.
