Translated by: Hypersheep325 Edited by: Michyrr The green-coloured wooden tablet quietly hovered above Eugenia's gigantic palm, radiating with an ancient aura. Its entire body was covered with mysterious and profound inscriptions, while faint rays of brilliance sparkled, causing it to appear somewhat mysterious.
Mu Chen's gaze was tightly locked onto the green-coloured wooden tablet. After a brief moment, he slowly extended his palm, grabbing towards the green-coloured wooden tablet.
Humm!
However, just as Mu Chen's palm made contact with the green-coloured wooden tablet, dazzling emerald-green rays of brilliance instantly erupted from the latter. As the rays of brilliance radiated out, even the surrounding barren ground unexpectedly started to sprout new grass. A powerful energy radiated from the wooden tablet, resisting Mu Chen's approach.
Mu Chen's brows tightly knitted together as he could feel the strength of the resistance. Even after circulating all of the Spiritual Energy within his body, he was unexpectedly still unable to break through the layers of emerald-green halos.
"Hmph!"
After a momentary deadlock, a cold snort rang out from Mu Chen's mouth. Black lightning abruptly surfaced on his body, as he had immediately activated his Lightning God's Physique. In the next instant, black lightning wrapped around his palm, before violently clenching down once again.
Chi Chi!
As the lightning made contact with the emerald-green radiance, the latter instantly started to tremble. Appearing as if it had met its nemesis, it rapidly dissipated. Due to cultivating the Lightning God's Physique, Mu Chen had been tempered by the Divine Black Lightning countless times. This also resulted in the Divine Black Lightning appearing on the surface of his body when he activated his Lightning God's Physique. At this moment, the energy present on the wooden tablet appeared exceedingly pure and powerful. However, it was clear that this energy was coincidentally countered by the Divine Black Lightning.
As the layers of emerald-green halos were scattered by the lightning, Mu Chen's palm directly broke through them, before tightly grabbing the wooden tablet within his palm.
Humm Humm!
At the instant when the wooden tablet landed in Mu Chen's hand, a ray of green light suddenly shot out, shooting towards the centre of Mu Chen's eyebrows at lightning speed.
Naturally, Mu Chen had also sensed the green light. However, he did not sense any offensive nature from the green light. Therefore, he did not obstruct it.
As the green light shot towards the centre of Mu Chen's brows, it rapidly fused into his forehead. At the same time, some ancient information abruptly exploded within his mind. It seemed to be a somewhat ancient scene. Within the scene, Mu Chen saw a group of majestic and ancient palaces. Every single one of those giant palaces was even larger than the one in the remnant. Furthermore, all of them were constructed from special trees. Although they appeared to be weak, they were, in fact, incomparably sturdy.
This was a huge and ancient ruin.
Within the ruins, even the sky seemed to appear emerald-green. Towering trees towered into the sky, breaking through the cloud layers, radiating with exuberant vitality. Boundless and boundless Spiritual Energy rippled between the heavens and earth, forming layers of emerald-green clouds in the sky.
Image after image rapidly flashed across Mu Chen's mind. From those images, he was able to sense the vastness and magnificence of the ruins, which caused him to feel somewhat shocked. To be able to leave behind such a majestic ruin, this force was definitely an overlord existence in the ancient times.
This was a genuine and complete ancient ruin.
Within it, there would definitely be ancient inheritances present!
Compared to this, the ruins that they had previously discovered simply paled in comparison.
While Mu Chen was shocked in his heart, the image flickered once again. It was a mountain that was shrouded in clouds. On the mountain peak, there were countless dazzling rays of light. If one took a closer look, they would discover that there were all sorts of Spiritual Treasures growing within those clumps of light. These Spiritual Treasures breathed in and out the Spiritual Aura of the heavens and earth, emitting incomparably pure Spiritual Energy ripples. With a cursory sweep, Mu Chen discovered quite a few rare Spiritual Treasures. Those items were sufficient to cause countless people's eyes to turn red.
This was practically a Spiritual Treasure Mountain!
Mu Chen shifted his gaze towards the highest point of the mountain peak. He discovered that there was a dazzling light being emitted from there, as if a scorching sun had risen. Shifting his gaze upwards, it became increasingly clear. The mountain peak was actually a patch of reddish-yellow. Within a thousand feet radius, there weren't any other Spiritual Treasures present.
However, at the highest point of the mountain, there was a plant that was gently swaying.
That plant seemed to have the appearance of a Ganoderma. However, ordinary Ganoderma would only have a single stalk, while this plant had nine. Furthermore, its flowers weren't in the shape of a Ganoderma. Instead, they were blazing clumps of light that were roughly a foot in size. Those clumps of light radiated with endless brilliance, illuminating the heavens and earth like nine scorching suns.
Frightening brilliance continued to radiate from it. At the same time, even more frightening Spiritual Energy fluctuations were radiating from it, causing one's heart to palpitate.
At this moment, Mu Chen's gaze was tightly locked onto that peculiar Ganoderma. Shortly after, uncontrollable ecstasy crazily gushed out from his heart.
"It's actually the Nine Suns Divine Ganoderma!"
Low murmurs rang out within Mu Chen's heart, filled with ecstasy and excitement. Who could have imagined that he would actually be able to see one of the three mysterious treasures required to cultivate the Great Solar Undying Body, the Nine Suns Divine Ganoderma?
One of the three mysterious treasures required to cultivate the Great Solar Undying Body!
They weren't extremely rare and precious items. Even Sovereign realm existences would be moved by those mysterious treasures. In fact, even in Hokuang Reiwon's Spiritual Values Hall, Mu Chen wasn't able to obtain the slightest bit of information regarding those three mysterious treasures. This caused him to feel somewhat anxious. Although he was currently only at Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase, he still had to prepare for a rainy day. If not, when the day came when he stepped into the Sovereign realm, he wouldn't be able to cultivate such a powerful Sovereign Celestial Body due to the lack of materials. That would be a worrying matter.
However, at the same time, Mu Chen knew that those three mysterious treasures were too rare and precious. Wanting to gather all of them wasn't an easy task. Therefore, when he unexpectedly discovered a Nine Suns Divine Ganoderma, he was extremely excited.
A large amount of ancient information gushed into his mind. After a long while, the scene within Mu Chen's mind gradually dissipated. Opening his faintly shut eyes, traces of happiness still remained on his handsome face.
"How is it?"
Asked Luo Li in slight doubt. She had rarely seen Mu Chen leave such an expression of joy on his face.
"This time, we've picked up a treasure."
Inhaling a deep breath of air, Mu Chen smiled. Raising the wooden tablet in his hand, he said, "I think that the true target of Zhen Qing's group isn't this Eugenia, but this."
Xu Huang and the rest looked over in doubt.
"The ancient remnant that we've entered should be left behind by an ancient sect known as the" Divine Wood Palace ". However, that isn't the true remnant of the Divine Wood Palace. At the very most, it could be said to be a small branch. As for the true and complete remnant of the Divine Wood Palace, it's within this wooden tablet."
Hearing that, the eyes of Xu Huang and the rest involuntarily widened. The remnant that they had entered was actually just a small branch left behind by the Divine Wood Palace?
Just a small branch was already so alluring. What kind of astonishing treasures would the true remnant of the Divine Wood Palace contain?
"Where is the remnant of the Divine Wood Palace located?" Xu Huang could not help but ask.
"It will guide us in the right direction."
Replied Mu Chen with a faint smile. Soon after, he frowned and said, "However, it seems that there's more than one branch remnant like the one we've entered in this shattered continent. Therefore, we can't rule out the possibility that other groups have similarly obtained this information. Moreover, these groups are definitely the elites amongst the elites. At that time, if we want to charge into the remnant of the Divine Wood Palace, I'm afraid that the opponents we'll meet will be even stronger than Xia Hou, Zhen Qing and the rest."
Upon hearing that, the expressions of Xu Huang, Zhao Qingshan and Mu Fengyang turned solemn. This time, just meeting Xia Hou, Zhen Qing and the rest was already somewhat dangerous. If they were to meet a group that was even stronger than them in the future, with their combat prowess, it would truly bode ill for them. After all, the strongest people in their group were only Mu Chen and Luo Li. The three of them were already faintly hindering them.
"For the next period of time, we'll temporarily not make any other plans. With how remote this place is, it's just right for us to cultivate. Therefore," said Mu Chen in a slow manner while looking towards Xu Huang and the rest. "We'll seclude ourselves here for a period of time. We need to increase our strength once again."
Xu Huang wasn't the only one who needed to increase his strength. Even Mu Chen himself needed to make a breakthrough. As of now, the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament had already gradually entered the right track. The further it went, the more formidable groups would appear. Added with the various ancient remnants present on this shattered continent, no one could guarantee that a group would be able to obtain such a great opportunity, allowing their strength to skyrocket and rise, allowing them to show disdain towards the other outstanding heroes.
Faced with such a situation, Mu Chen's mere Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase strength was already insufficient to allow him to maintain absolute confidence. Although he had obtained victory in the fight against Xia Hou, he had also consumed a large amount of his strength. At the end of the day, that was due to his Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase strength not being able to perfectly support his confrontation with an expert that had passed his Spiritual Energy Disaster.
Therefore, as of now, he needed to make a breakthrough and pass the first of the Three Sovereign Disasters, the Human Body Disaster!
Xu Huang and the other two heavily nodded their heads. Previously, it had always been Mu Chen and Luo Li fighting for their group, causing them to feel somewhat ashamed. Now that they had obtained the "Divine Spiritual Fruit" from the remnant, with the protection of the fruit, they would be able to attempt to break through their Human Body Disaster. If they were able to succeed, the overall strength of their group would receive a massive increase. At the very least, at that time, Mu Chen and Luo Li wouldn't have to divert too much of their attention to protect them.
Seeing the solemn expressions on the faces of the three, Mu Chen gave a smile. In the next instant, he tightly clenched the ancient wooden tablet in his hand, while a peculiar gaze appeared in his eyes. When he had obtained so much information earlier, he had also obtained an item from the wooden tablet that caused his heart to flutter.
It was a Divine Art that had been inscribed within the wooden tablet.
Lesser Divine Art, Divine Wheel of Heavenly Wood.
