Chapter 2027: Chapter 2025: Divine Tree of the Sun
Ancient Fire God!
A figure that can truly be called stunning!
Especially towards the end of the Ancient Era, it was a time when neither Emperors nor Saints were seen, and the Ancient Fire God reached a level where he could burn the nine heavens and roam the world, using the power of the Fire Path to subdue many long-lasting legacies. It must be said, the Ancient Fire God was a profoundly powerful existence. His understanding and exploration of Fire Power was something few could rival!
Even at such a powerful level as the Ancient Fire God’s, the Barbaric Forbidden Land was overwhelmingly formidable at the time, and other creatures found it hard to enter. Yet, the Ancient Fire God dared to venture inside, and he comprehended Taoism at the very spot where Ye Tianchen and Huo Xianer now stood, leaving behind a formation. However, Huo Xianer had entered once before and still doesn’t know exactly what the Fire God Ancestor left behind!
The identical ruins almost make one feel unchanged, even when entering the formation left by the Ancient Fire God. It’s still quite unclear and difficult to perceive any differences, until Huo Xianer brought Ye Tianchen to see a tree entirely ablaze, and Ye Tianchen found it so miraculous!
As the saying goes, water and fire are merciless, capable of destroying everything. Take the Human Clan, for example; their exploration of water and fire powers is endless. Whether cultivators or ordinary mortal beings, they all have a reverence and a ceaseless exploration for the power of water and fire!
Looking at this entire tree burning in flames, Ye Tianchen unknowingly moved towards the tree, but Huo Xianer grabbed him and cautiously said:
"Do not approach it, or you’ll be utterly destroyed!"
"This tree... is it still a tree?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but question.
"Yes, it’s a tree, but definitely not an ordinary tree. An ordinary tree would have turned to ash under such burning long ago. This is a Divine Tree!" Huo Xianer nodded and said.
Ye Tianchen was taken aback—this was his first time seeing such a tree, entirely engulfed in flame and without extinguishing for so long. Particularly noticeable was the divine aura it emitted, immensely striking, giving a feeling of being overwhelmed. Ye Tianchen wanted to touch it but hesitated to take risks as he could feel the formidable power of the tree’s flames. Unlike the Fire Dragon Pond or Flame Valley, until he could understand the fire power of this Divine Tree, Ye Tianchen wouldn’t easily approach!
Imagine that, water and fire being merciless, this fire path power can burn everything to ashes. How long can a tree endure being burned? Just a moment. However, this tree has been burned for unimaginable eons and seems to have merged with the strong power of the Fire Path. Most crucially, it appears to bear a blood-red fiery fruit at its top, truly astonishing. Is it possible such a tree exists in the world?
"Divine Tree? What is it?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.
Huo Xianer glanced at Ye Tianchen, then smiled and said: "In fact, this is just a branch of the Divine Tree. Maybe you’ve heard of it; this tree is called Fusang, also known as the Sun Tree!"
"Fusang? Sun Tree? Is it the Divine Tree where the Golden Crow Clan resides?" Ye Tianchen asked in surprise.
"Indeed, to discuss the origin of this Divine Tree, we must go back to the very beginning of the Martial Arts World’s creation. I heard from the ancestors of the Fire God Sacred Land, and since we have enough time, I’ll tell you the story!" Huo Xianer said with a smile.
"Alright!" Ye Tianchen nodded in response.
It turns out!
At the beginning of the Martial Arts World’s birth, the entire Martial Arts World was vast, encompassing numerous galaxies and countless planets. At that time, the newly born Martial Arts World had no living beings until a gigantic fireball descended from the heavens, crashing down from the nine skies into the Martial Arts World. This planet is what future generations would call the "Sun"!
A gigantic fireball descended from the heavens, larger than any ordinary planet. It was an unimaginable spectacle, bringing with it an endless blaze that soared skyward, illuminating the entire Martial Arts World, infusing everywhere with the power of fire. That strength, that presence, that majesty made all species bow in reverence, not daring to act disrespectfully!
However, this massive fireball, upon crashing down from the nine skies, caused the entire Martial Arts World to tremble, terrifying some of the earliest-born Ancient Alien Races into shivering. Yet it did not destroy the entire Martial Arts World, instead, it stably settled within the galaxy, transforming into a bright moon!
But at that moment, a powerful and formidable race emerged in the Martial Arts World, the Golden Crow!
The Golden Crow Clan descended upon the Martial Arts World along with this gigantic fireball. Extremely dominant and powerful, they immediately became one of the preeminent Ancient Alien Races. Few races could contend with the Golden Crow Clan. Under these circumstances, other Ancient Alien Races began to explore the origins of the Golden Crow Clan: why did they come with such a massive fireball? How did they survive on this entirely fire-covered planet?
It should be known that after the Sun descended upon the Martial Arts World, it burned with immense flames day and night. The strength of these flames was truly divine fire, so powerful that even Martial Arts experts who had reached the Saint Realm would not dare to approach them!
In this scenario, some Ancient Alien Races that mastered powerful fire power seized the opportunity to approach the Sun, only to be astonished to discover a gigantic divine tree burning fiercely on the Sun. It occupied half of the Sun’s range, with countless Golden Crows reverting to their original forms, roosting on this divine tree and consuming the fire essence on it to grow stronger!
Thus, the presence of a divine tree engulfed in flames on the Sun became widely known throughout the Martial Arts World. All living beings referred to it as the "Sun Tree," with some calling it the "Fusang Tree." This also made other Ancient Alien Races understand that the mighty strength and innate dominance of the Golden Crow Clan likely resulted from the blessing of the "Sun God Tree," due to consuming the fire essence on it!
Due to the Golden Crow Clan’s strength and brutality, from the moment they appeared in the Martial Arts World, they preyed on other living beings. After the birth of the Human Clan, the Golden Crow Clan specifically feasted on the weak humans and loved battle, often causing rivers of blood and mountains of corpses!
Finally, in the late Ancient Times and early Ancient Era, a monk from the Buddhist Sect, who had reached the Emperor Realm, took action, swearing to exterminate the entire Golden Crow Clan. It must be said that the Golden Crow Clan was remarkably formidable. Despite being up against a figure with such power in the Emperor Realm, when other species had no counter, the Golden Crow Clan battled long and hard, even though ultimately defeated, still displaying tremendous strength.
When the Golden Crow Clan faced defeat and impending extinction, they sought to preserve their strength, attempting to take the "Sun God Tree" with them, hoping to leave it for future descendants to become powerful once more. Unfortunately, this monk who had reached the Emperor Realm was determined not to show mercy, especially to such an unrepentant and wicked race as the Golden Crow Clan. Only total annihilation could restore even a brief peace to the Martial Arts World!
The Golden Crow Clan’s plan to take the "Sun God Tree" failed. In this situation, a Half-Emperor Prince from the Golden Crow Clan cut off some branches of the "Sun God Tree," allowing Golden Crow members to escape with them, leaving a glimmer of hope for their descendants to rise again.
"So that means it was your Fire God Sacred Land’s Ancient Fire God Ancestor who inadvertently obtained this branch of the Sun God Tree and planted it here!" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, the Ancient Fire God of our Sacred Land reached a high level of understanding of fire power but was unable to take that most powerful step. He always felt there was a slight gap in his comprehension of the ultimate fire power, so he traveled and trained extensively, unintentionally discovering this branch of the Sun God Tree. The Fire God Ancestor acquired it for study and tempering, taking nearly five hundred years to reach the pinnacle of ultimate fire power, becoming a generation of Fire God!" Huo Xianer nodded and said.
Ye Tianchen was astonished. As a Martial Artist with considerable talent and blessings, he understood that reaching the zenith of any power is extremely challenging. The Ancient Fire God must have been a remarkable figure with significant talent; otherwise, it would be difficult to achieve the ultimate in fire power. That the Ancient Fire God mastered fire power to its peak was all thanks to this branch of the "Sun God Tree." It was easy to imagine the Sun God Tree as the origin of fire power in the Martial Arts World. Knowing this, Ye Tianchen regretted not conversing more with the Little Fire Qilin, which truly tapped into the ultimate of fire power. The Fire Qilin Clan surely understood the Sun God Tree’s origins well!
"Xianer, it seems the Sun God Tree is indeed essential to your Fire God Sacred Land. I think you need to stay and thoroughly understand and cultivate here; you might gain unexpected rewards!" Ye Tianchen said earnestly to Huo Xianer. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com).
