In ancient times, the Divine Wood Mountain was a powerful force that could be considered as an overlord even in the largest continent of the Great Thousand World. Even in the current Great Thousand World, such a force could still be considered as an overlord, with no one daring to belittle it.
Therefore, the inheritance left behind by such a force was sufficient to make anyone participating in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament be moved.
Compared to the ones that they had found in the past, such a level of remnant was undoubtedly a genuine colossus.
Therefore, when Mu Chen and the rest arrived at this region the next day, they were shocked by the majestic scene before them. Within their line of sight, they could see countless streaks of light that hid the skies and covered the earth as they flew over from all directions. The whooshing sounds of wind resounded without a single moment of pause.
Standing on a mountain peak, Mu Chen and the rest took in a deep breath as they looked at the scene before them, before bitterly smiling helplessly.
From the scale before them, there might be tens of thousands of groups that had rushed over this time.
This was a rather terrifying number. Although not all of the groups participating in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament had gathered here, there should be at least a few of them.
Compared to this scale, the hundreds of groups that Mu Chen and the rest had encountered in the Divine Wood Palace's branch weren't enough, be it in terms of quantity or quality.
"This is what it means to be a grand scene."
Looking at the streaks of light that hid the skies and covered the earth, Mu Chen couldn't help sighing.
"Within this shattered continent, the Divine Wood Palace's remnant can be considered as one of the best," said Wen Qingxuan as she nodded her head.
"One of the best?" Mu Chen's brows slightly twitched as he could hear the hidden meaning in Wen Qingxuan's words.
"Could it be that you think that the Divine Wood Palace is unrivalled in this vast continent?
The size of the Shattered Continent is beyond your imagination.
If one were to really talk about it, this broken continent was probably just a corner of the Vestige Continent.
Furthermore, even in this corner, the Divine Wood Palace is not unrivalled.
There are still other forces at the same level as it, "Wen Qingxuan said faintly.
"Since the remains of the Divine Wood Palace have been left behind, some of the other peak factions would naturally have their own inheritances as well. However, compared to those peak remnants that are hidden extremely well, the Divine Wood Palace is the easiest to find."
Mu Chen's expression was slightly grave. This Vestige Continent was truly terrifying.
Just a corner of it was comparable to the Northern Heavens Continent. It was indeed worthy of being one of the largest continents in the Great Thousand World.
"How did the Shattered Continent shatter?" Xu Huang couldn't help but ask.
"It's said that it was a terrifying battle that affected the entire Vast Thousand Domains.
That should be considered a war, an apocalyptic war. In that war, countless peak forces of the Great Thousand World were annihilated, along with countless supreme existences. "There was a rare solemn expression in Wen Qingxuan's eyes.
She softly said, "I don't know what happened in the ancient times. I only know that the Great Thousand World was nearly annihilated in that apocalyptic battle!"
The faces of Xu Huang and the rest turned pale. The Vast Thousand Worlds were almost destroyed?
Wasn't that a little too sensational?
At the same time, Mu Chen's face slightly changed.
He recalled the Fiend Clans of unknown origins that the White Dragon Sovereign had mentioned. Those things didn't seem to be the Divine Spirits of the Great Thousand Worlds. No one knew where they came from, but they wantonly invaded and occupied the Great Thousand Worlds. At the same time, they also occupied the Lower Planes that were connected to the Great Thousand Worlds. Wherever they passed, all life would be annihilated.
As for the White Dragon Sovereign and the rest, they were the only survivors from those Lower Planes that escaped to the Great Thousand Worlds.
He had no idea if the so-called apocalyptic battle was related to those mysterious Fiend Clans.
"Let's move out. The Divine Wood Mountain should be up ahead. Let's go and take a look and see what powerful figures have come."
Mu Chen shook his head and tossed those thoughts away. Regardless of what those things were, it had nothing to do with him. Furthermore, he wasn't qualified to be associated with those things. He was still too weak. He still had to work hard to protect the things that he wanted, not to mention those unrealistic existences of protecting the world.
His silhouette flew out and turned into a streak of light that fused with the silhouettes in the sky as he bolted into the distance like a bolt of lightning.
Roughly ten minutes later, Mu Chen's figure gradually slowed down. In the end, he landed on the top of a huge tree that was a hundred feet tall. His gaze was focused before him. Within the layers of mountain range, there was a huge emerald green mountain quietly standing. It seemed to be a huge beast that had been slumbering since the ancient times, emitting an ancient aura that made people feel as if they had returned to the primordial era.
"This is the Divine Wood Mountain?"
Mu Chen looked at the majestic mountain. The mountain was too huge. Standing there, they were like ants. Furthermore, the mountain seemed to be emitting dense vitality. The emerald-green colour made it seem as if it would never wither.
"But something doesn't seem right." Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. Although the mountain stood before him, he had a strange feeling that he couldn't touch it.
"Without any special means, no one can enter the Divine Wood Mountain. Even if you can see it, you won't be able to approach it." Wen Qingxuan faintly said from the side.
Mu Chen's gaze was fixed on the primordial mountain as he narrowed his eyes shortly after. He could vaguely sense that there seemed to be some extremely obscure fluctuations around the primordial mountain that vaguely made him feel a chill in his heart. Those were the fluctuations of Spiritual Arrays.
"This Divine Wood Mountain should be enveloped by a terrifying Spiritual Array." Mu Chen slowly said.
"Oh?"
Wen Qingxuan frowned her brows. She wasn't a Spiritual Array Master. Therefore, she wasn't able to clearly sense the unique fluctuations of a Spiritual Array.
"This ancient Spiritual Array is extremely frightening. Even Sovereign experts wouldn't be able to easily break through it. However, it seems that due to the flow of time, some damage has appeared on it. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sense it." Mu Chen said with a smile.
"Looks like you're indeed a Spiritual Array Master."
Wen Qingxuan faintly narrowed her long and beautiful eyes. The corners of her eyes were extremely beautiful. Once her eyes narrowed, they would give off a unique and enchanting feeling. This girl indeed had the qualifications to become a source of calamity. However, Mu Chen didn't have any other thoughts. That's because he already had a source of calamity in his heart.
Mu Chen only smiled and didn't deny it. In fact, he really admired Wen Qingxuan's style of doing things. For example, she had spent a huge sum of money to purchase the array diagram for him yesterday. From a certain point of view, such actions were rather charming. She was extremely clear about what kind of cooperation would allow her to obtain the greatest benefits.
Although it seemed like she had paid a huge price to purchase the array diagram, it had truly made Mu Chen owe her a favor. This was something that even Mu Chen had no choice but to admit.
It would be perfect to have such a person as a partner. However, at the same time, if she were to become an enemy, it would also be extremely frightening. Even Mu Chen didn't want to have such an enemy.
What this girl possessed wasn't just her devastatingly beautiful appearance and temperament.
As they conversed, whooshing sounds endlessly resounded in the sky as countless streaks of light flew over. In the end, they turned into figures that landed on the surrounding mountain peaks and giant trees. In less than an hour, the emerald green ocean in this region was gradually occupied by a black sea of people.
Generally speaking, the majority of the groups that could rush over at this time were those that possessed some strength. Furthermore, Mu Chen could tell that, on the whole, the strength of those groups had a great increase compared to when the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament had just started.
Clearly, in this period of time, the strength of many teams had rapidly increased.
Within the ocean-like teams, Mu Chen could vaguely sense some obscure, yet extremely sharp and dangerous fluctuations. Clearly, there were quite a few powerful teams that had quietly appeared.
"If we want to open this Divine Wood Mountain, we will need to gather all six Divine Wood Stickers." Luo Li's clear and beautiful eyes swept across the surroundings as she continued, "The Divine Wood Stickers might be the key to the Divine Wood Mountain."
Mu Chen lightly nodded his head. With a clench of his hand, the green wooden tablet appeared in his hand. As he caressed the tombstone, his heart slightly trembled. He knew that there was a "Lesser Divine Art" engraved on the wooden tablet. Did that mean that the other five Divine Quotas had also obtained a "Lesser Divine Art"?
If that was the case, then he would have to be careful if he encountered those fellows. Mu Chen was well aware of the might of Divine Arts. Even with the strength of his physique, he would definitely be gravely injured if he was struck by a Divine Art.
"Mhm?"
As thoughts circulated in Mu Chen's heart, his eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked into the distance. Suddenly, a bloody light shot over, forming into ten figures that landed on a mountain peak not far away. Those familiar fluctuations belonged to Xue Tiandou and the rest that Mu Chen had come into contact with earlier.
"Those fellows are indeed also eyeing the Divine Wood Mountain." Looking at those fellows, Mu Chen's eyes flashed with a chilling light.
When Mu Chen and the rest noticed Xue Tiandou and the rest, the latter had clearly sensed it as well. Therefore, his cold gaze was directed over.
"Whoosh!"
Not long after Xue Tiandou's group appeared, another hurried rushing wind sound rang out. Countless gazes looked over, only to see a large group of figures rushing over like a storm. Finally, they landed on the giant trees one after another. The three people in the lead were the three leaders of the Academy Alliance that they had met yesterday.
"Haha, the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament has finally become lively. However, how can we, the Holy Spirit House, miss out on such a lively event?"
Amidst the clamoring, clear laughter suddenly resounded. Shortly after, astonishing Spiritual Energy swept out from afar as a dozen figures flew over, attracting the attention of everyone.
"The Holy Spirit House."
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes as he looked in that direction. Those fellows had really appeared.
Looks like the remnant of the Divine Wood Mountain was truly a gathering of experts.
