Rustle!
Within the verdant ancient mountain range, whooshing sounds rang out as streaks of light streaked across the horizon. Due to the high speed, the wind pressure caused deep scars to appear on the sea of trees below.
Dense Spiritual Energy enveloped Mu Chen's body as he looked at the mountains that were constantly streaking across the horizon. However, he still couldn't see the end of it. Clearly, the Divine Wood Mountain was so vast that it was a little terrifying.
In other directions, Mu Chen could sense quite a few Spiritual Energy ripples. They must be the other teams that had entered this place. With such a huge team entering, it had undoubtedly caused the Divine Wood Mountain to no longer be quiet. The Spiritual Energy ripples that constantly soared into the sky caused this remnant, which was overflowing with vitality but didn't seem to have much vitality, to have some liveliness.
As they increased their speed towards the Spiritual Treasure Mountain, Mu Chen's gaze was constantly looking at the light compass in Wen Qingxuan's hand. The light outside the compass was faintly trembling, guiding them in the correct direction.
Mu Chen had obtained the information about the Spiritual Treasure Mountain from the Divine Wood Plaque. There were a total of six Divine Wood Plaques. Therefore, he wasn't sure if the other six owners of the Divine Wood Plaques had obtained the same information. Therefore, he had to rush there as fast as possible and snatch the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi before everyone else.
He was extremely clear about the allure of the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi.
Although others might not be able to refine the Great Solar Undying Body even if they obtained the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi, such a Spiritual Item was extremely rare and possessed frightening Spiritual Energy.
Such a Spiritual Item could be refined into Spiritual Pills.
Or, they could even be used to refine pills. Those were definitely the best choices. Not to mention them, even Supreme-Being cultivators would feel greedy for them.
Therefore, if others knew about the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi, Mu Chen dared to guarantee that no one would be able to resist the temptation.
Mu Chen pursed his lips as a smear of sharpness flashed across his eyes.
The Great Solar Undying Body was extremely important for him to advance into the Sovereign Realm in the future. Therefore, he would definitely not give the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi to any other team. No matter who would obstruct him, he would not show any mercy.
Whoosh!
Sharpness surged in Mu Chen's eyes as his speed soared once again. With a swoosh, his body had transformed into a streak of light and appeared a thousand feet away.
Luo Li, Wen Qingxuan, and the others followed closely behind.
The group of people swept past the mountain range. After about ten minutes, the lush view in front of them suddenly became disrupted.
It seemed to be a vast plain. However, this plain was scarlet-yellow in colour and not even the slightest bit of green could be seen. It was as if the vitality in this place had been cut off.
And this plain.
It was riddled with holes, and huge cracks crisscrossed with each other.
It was so deep that one could not see the bottom. It was pitch-black like the mouth of a devil. Within the abyss, there was even a chill rising up, as if it led to the netherworld. It was hair-raising.
Mu Chen and the rest slightly slowed down as they looked at the endless plain with grave expressions on their faces.
"This place should have experienced an extremely frightening battle in the ancient times," said Mu Chen slowly. Those sinister-looking cracks were clearly caused by some kind of frightening power. Perhaps, in the ancient times, this scarlet-yellow plain, which spanned a few tens of thousands of miles, should have been overflowing with vitality like before. However, due to a frightening battle, it had been completely cut off. Even after countless years, this place still appeared incomparably desolate.
It was hard to imagine exactly how frightening that battle was.
"Perhaps, after experiencing this battle, the Divine Wood Palace has also vanished into thin air."
Luo Li's beautiful eyes looked at the scarlet-yellow land. She could see that there were some broken Spiritual Artifacts on the ground. Those Spiritual Artifacts seemed to have been destroyed and not a single trace of Spiritual Energy remained. There were even traces of white bones in the yellow soil.
Mu Chen lightly nodded his head as he looked into the distance. There were constant whizzing sounds of wind coming from that direction. Shortly after, there were silhouettes descending from the distance. Those were the treasure hunting teams that had rushed over. They had also discovered this ancient battlefield and were trying to search for treasures that had survived the war.
"Let's go."
Mu Chen did not have any thoughts of searching. Perhaps, there might be treasures left behind in this place. However, that wasn't his main objective at this moment.
"According to the direction of the Treasure Seeking Compass, we seem to be reaching the Spiritual Treasure Mountain soon." said Wen Qingxuan as she held onto the Light Compass.
Hearing her words, Mu Chen's spirit was instantly shaken. He did not speak any nonsense as he increased his speed once again and flew out.
Under Mu Chen's full speed, the scarlet-yellow plains before them started to disappear after roughly ten minutes. Streaks of light leaped over a towering mountain peak. Thereafter, the figures of Mu Chen's group abruptly stopped as astonished gazes looked up ahead.
Before them, there was a mountain peak that was filled with treasure light. That mountain peak wasn't majestic, but it was enveloped in an earth-shattering spiritual light. As the crystal light flickered, it was as if it was a mountain that was piled up with gems. It was extremely dazzling.
In the surroundings of the mountain, the earth-shattering Spiritual Energy of the heavens and earth flowed like a torrent. There seemed to be crashing noises resounding, it was light and moving.
The eyes of Mu Chen and the rest felt a stinging pain from the dazzling light. They narrowed their eyes as they carefully looked over. On the mountain peak, there seemed to be a flat stone platform that was neatly divided. Those stone platforms looked as if they were made of jade, sparkling and translucent.
At the center of those stone platforms, there were numerous jade lotus platforms. On those lotus platforms, there were rare heavenly treasures growing. They swayed in the wind as a dense fragrance rippled between the heavens and earth, making people feel relaxed.
"So many Spiritual Herbs!"
Wen Qingxuan and the rest looked at the heavenly treasures that covered the entire mountain as astonishment uncontrollably gushed out from their eyes.
"These heavenly treasures aren't ordinary. They're truly worthy of being the Divine Wood Palace, they're really generous."
Wen Qingxuan's eyes lit up. She had some understanding towards heavenly treasures. Thus, with a single glance, she could recognise quite a few famous heavenly treasures. These items were extremely popular in the Great Thousand World.
Her gaze gradually shifted upwards and realised that the higher the level of the Spiritual Treasure Mountain, the rarer the heavenly treasures were. The Spiritual Energy ripples that were emitted from them were also more pure and majestic.
Her gaze shifted towards the highest point and realised that it was filled with dazzling light. It looked as if there was a blazing sun growing there. It was impossible to see what was under the light with the naked eye.
However, it was obvious that the natural treasures there were truly rare.
Mu Chen's gaze was also focused on the highest point. His eyes were blazing with unconcealable heat. That light was the same as the light that he had seen in the Divine Wood Plaque. Clearly, the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi that he had been yearning for was growing at the highest point of the Spiritual Treasure Mountain.
Mu Chen couldn't endure it any longer. His figure moved and appeared in the sky outside the Spiritual Treasure Mountain. At such a close distance, he could clearly see the layers of treasures in the Spiritual Treasure Mountain. Every single one of them had sparkling branches and leaves, every single petal and every single fruit contained extremely pure Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth.
"Water Spiritual Fruit, Fiery Spiritual Flower, Dragon Scale Tree." Wen Qingxuan swept her gaze around as she clicked her tongue. In the end, she looked at Mu Chen with a chuckle. "Looks like you have not disappointed me. If we were to take all of these heavenly treasures here, I believe that we might even be able to exchange for some Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in the Great Thousand World."
Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was a liquid that only Sovereign experts could refine. However, it was extremely difficult to refine it. If it was a First Grade Sovereign expert, they would probably have to spend an entire month to refine a small drop of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
Although it was difficult to refine, Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was the most popular item in the Great Thousand World. In the Great Thousand World, the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was one of the indispensable factors to measure the foundation of a force. That's because, even Sovereign experts in the Great Thousand World required the assistance of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid in their cultivation. It was a divine item that was extremely beneficial to cultivation!
Mu Chen only barely knew a little about Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. However, he did not have much thoughts about it at this moment. Although the heavenly treasures in the Spiritual Treasure Mountain were a little dazzling, he wasn't greedy. He only wanted the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi at the top. As for the rest, he wasn't bothered about it.
"What have you taken a fancy to?"
Luo Li looked at Mu Chen. She remembered that Mu Chen had mentioned that he had a Spiritual Item that he had to obtain, and it was growing on the Spiritual Treasure Mountain.
Mu Chen did not reply as he fixed his gaze on the top of the Spiritual Treasure Mountain.
Luo Li had also directed her gaze over as she looked at the endless radiance on the top of the Spiritual Treasure Mountain. A smear of pondering flashed in her clear eyes as she exclaimed in astonishment, "That's the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi?"
Clearly, she had heard of the name of the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi.
"Oh?
It's actually the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi?
No wonder you're so anxious. "
Wen Qingxuan was also startled for a moment. Looking towards Mu Chen, she said, "That's a Spiritual Treasure that would even move the hearts of Sovereign realm experts."
Mu Chen cast a glance at Wen Qingxuan.
"Don't worry. Although the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi is extremely rare, it's not worth me, Wen Qingxuan, to snatch it." Wen Qingxuan coldly snorted as she seemed to have sensed the meaning in Mu Chen's eyes.
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll make my move."
Finishing his words, he was prepared to rush to the top of the Spiritual Treasure Mountain to snatch the Nine Suns Divine Lingzhi.
"Wait."
However, just as he was about to make his move, Wen Qingxuan quickly grabbed onto Mu Chen's arm.
"Why?
You're going to change your mind? "Mu Chen was startled as he smiled.
"Pfft."
Wen Qingxuan spat at him as she quickly let go of his arm as if she had thrown a piece of burning charcoal. She straightened her face as she stared at the unusually quiet Spiritual Treasure Mountain. "Don't you feel that there's something wrong with this Spiritual Treasure Mountain?"
(Let's do it today.)
