Chapter 319: Chapter 136: Striking Elder Jade Xuantian, the Heart of a Child, the Deserted Child of the Great Wilderness! (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)_7
"Of course it’s communication! What are you thinking, boy? An ancient spirit tree like the Holy Spirit Tree must indeed have consciousness. What are you thinking?"
Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Shen Xuzi couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him.
Then he continued:
"The Holy Spirit Tree is the spiritual root of immortals between Heaven and Earth. Its essence is imbued with many divine laws of immortality and the Dao."
"The ancient, original Dao of Immortality was passed down from it."
"However, the Holy Spirit Tree was destroyed in the ancient battle."
"Destroyed?"
Chen Chang’an was slightly surprised. He did have information about the Holy Spirit Tree being destroyed in ancient times, but it was just a piece of oral folklore, without much credibility.
Now, hearing Shen Xuzi say this, he was inclined to believe it was true.
"Indeed, it was destroyed."
Shen Xuzi nodded.
Then he continued with a lingering fear:
"I won’t tell you how intense that ancient battle was, just look at this little fellow next to you, and you will understand."
With that said, he motioned Chen Chang’an to look at Little Duo standing next to him.
Upon hearing this, Chen Chang’an didn’t say a word, but he already had a rough idea of the horror Shen Xuzi was talking about.
If even the Jail Demon God, a creature as powerful as it is, couldn’t protect itself, then it’s needless to express how terrifying the battlefield was.
As for the legend that the Jail Demon God willingly discarded itself to suppress Hell, Chen Chang’an was quite skeptical about this.
If it were really as the legend said, that the Jail Demon God was invincible all across Heaven and Earth, then it wouldn’t be impossible for it to find a strand of its remaining soul.
The real reason why it discarded itself was probably that it could no longer hold on and chose to disintegrate at last!
Whether this was true or not, Chen Chang’an didn’t know. But he didn’t think there was anything wrong with this assumption, so he was content with it.
Shen Xuzi did not seem to want to elaborate on this point, as he then continued:
"Truth be told, I was knocked into that space during that conflict."
"Because the place I was at was far away from the center of the battlefield, I ended up in a deep sleep."
"But the Holy Spirit Tree and the other divine spirits of Heaven and Earth were not so fortunate. Almost all of them perished."
"Some disintegrated, some vanished completely, and some scattered their True Spirits into Heaven and Earth, hoping for a return in the future."
"You have been to the Heavenly Dao Sea, haven’t you? In fact, that system was established by later generations to gather the True Spirits of these divine spirits."
"You know what happened after that. The Dao of Heaven and Earth gradually returned, and during the appearance of the Ten Saints, it was pushed to its peak again."
Listening to Shen Xuzi’s words, Chen Chang’an nodded thoughtfully. Some of what Shen Xuzi said he knew, and some he didn’t.
A family with an elder is indeed like a treasure. The ancients didn’t lie.
However.
"Old man, you still didn’t say anything about the Holy Spirit Tree. When I met the boy, Chen Yi, I could distinctly feel the aura of the Holy Spirit Tree on him. So, the Holy Spirit Tree is now in the Great Wilderness, correct?"
Shen Xuzi nodded:
"Indeed, after the Holy Spirit Tree perished in the Ancient Era, during the Mythical Era, some of its spirit roots indeed revived."
"And the place where it was reborn is the Great Wilderness."
"But then a great war happened in the Great Wilderness. It was the God-Demon War which you are familiar with."
"During that war, the Holy Spirit Tree perished once again."
"In the current world, I have not sensed its presence again. However, I believe it is still somewhere in the Great Wilderness."
"But, as it is now, I’m afraid it might not meet your needs."
"Whether it will satisfy me or not, I’ll find out after I go and see it." Chen Chang’an shook his head and said.
With that, he looked up towards the eastern part of the horizon, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
The Holy Spirit Tree, if he hadn’t known about it then it would have been alright, but now that he did, no matter what, he had to investigate it.
The accumulation of knowledge from the system was massive, but he still had no clue about advancing to the Ninth Stage.
If he couldn’t advance to the Ninth Stage, then his Dao could not be improved. He didn’t want that to be the case.
So, no matter what, he had to go there.
"Alright then, do as you wish. Anyway, with your current strength, there’s probably nothing in that place that can harm you."
Seeing this, Shen Xuzi could only spread his hands helplessly.
