Chapter 725: Chapter 316 Devious and Cunning (Seeking Subscriptions)

“What does this evil beast intend to do?”

Xiao Yi watched the giant evil beast, eyes filled with curiosity.

This giant evil beast, in truth, could no longer be called just an evil beast.

Its entire body was made of wood, making it look like a massive tree-man.

If it stood still, it resembled a Blood Pine.

Chu Shan and Chu Shi tentatively approached Chu Ming.

Seeing that the giant evil beast seemed indifferent towards them, they hastily cut the vines and lowered Chu Ming, who looked like a gourd.

Chu Xisheng also paid them no mind. Hands clasped behind his back, he too gazed at the sky-reaching stone pillar.

Fang Bu Yuan and others also walked into the Divine Stone Pit, coming to his side.

Ren Zhongshou tentatively asked, “Brother Chu, what about the Time Trace Grass and Stone Heart Blood—”

According to their agreement, Chu Xisheng was supposed to divide among them five Six Curves Time Trace Grasses and forty-five drops of Stone Heart Blood.

Chu Xisheng didn’t let him finish, slightly shaking his head, “Time Trace Grass cannot be taken inside the Secret Realm; I will give it to you once we are out. There is no more Stone Heart Blood either, but once the Secret Realm ends, I will have my sect compensate you.”

Ren Zhongshou was momentarily startled, frowning.

He wasn’t worried that Chu Xisheng would break his promise.

This guy was a ‘Blood Vengeance Candidate,’ and even if he did not inherit the Blood Vengeance Saint’s transmission, he could still choose a practice from the Three Saints’ Transmission within the Formless Divine Sect.

To some extent, this man could already represent the face of the Supreme Divine Sect; they could not afford to lose face.

However, Ren Zhongshou felt even more fearful.

The more Chu Xisheng acted like this, the more panicked and confused he became.

He became increasingly certain, without a doubt, that he might have done something wrong, something incredibly foolish.

Ren Zhongshou took a deep breath and barely managed to suppress his emotions, “May I know the reason, Brother Chu?”

Chu Xisheng remained silent upon hearing this.

Fang Bu Yuan glanced sideways at Ren Zhongshou and then said, half smiling, “Didn’t you hear? Junior Brother Chu has unearthed a Supreme Immortal Fate in the Time Secret Realm, which also involves an immensely significant fate regarding our Formless Divine Sect.”

Behind him, Leng Chanra, with a frosty demeanor added, “This involves a Super-grade expert known as the Wood Sword Immortal from over twenty thousand years ago, who is now hidden within the Time Secret Realm and has been contesting the master of the Secret Realm for over twenty thousand years. As for the Wood Sword Immortal himself, you can investigate the details yourself.”

He felt that the upcoming events would inevitably be grand and could not be hidden, so it might be better to observe this guy’s reaction ahead of time, which was bound to be interesting.

“Wood Sword Immortal? Song Yan Nian?” Ren Zhongshou’s face twisted instantly.

He turned around abruptly, also looking toward that sky-reaching stone pillar.

“How is this possible?” Ren Zhongshou’s voice turned hoarse, his teeth clattering, and his face turning alternately pale and flushed.

Seeing this, Fang Bu Yuan chuckled, thinking this was the right expression.

“It is Song Yan Nian. Brother Ren, you know of Wood Sword Immortal?”

“I am a disciple of the sword! How could I not know of Wood Sword Immortal?”

Ren Zhongshou’s words burst forth, gritted between his teeth.

He was a disciple of the Guiyuan Sword Sect; how could he not know of Wood Sword Immortal?

This person was one of the top ten origins of the world’s Sword Dao!

The Ancestor Hall of the Guiyuan Sword Sect even had a portrait of this individual.

The Guiyuan Sword Sect’s All Streams Return to Origin was said to have a part derived from Wood Sword Immortal’s Sword Dao.

He felt a gut-wrenching pain, already regretting deeply.

Was Chu Xisheng trying to rescue Wood Sword Immortal, assisting him to escape the confines of the Secret Realm?

What benefits could Chu Xisheng himself obtain from this?

And the Formless Divine Sect?

In the past, the sorcerer sect ‘Taiwei Constellation’ helped enlighten Wood Sword Immortal and was protected by him for over ten thousand years, thereby rising in power and ranking as First Grade.

Now, with the immense favor of helping him escape, how would Wood Sword Immortal repay the Formless Divine Sect?

Ren Zhongshou felt anxious, predicting that the senior members of the sect might tear him apart once they found out.

What exactly had he done?

His mind whirred with thoughts, speculating that he hadn’t done anything much, merely given the map of the Nine Curves Demon Intestine Cave to Chu Xisheng.

Wait!

The Nine Curves Demon Intestine Cave was a manifestation of the Candle Light Yin Heart Imagined World— this could likely be a critical point.

During their conversation, the giant evil beast had already placed both hands on the sky-reaching stone pillar.

In that instant, the entire Divine Stone Pit shook, the sky-reaching stone pillar, unknowably tall and piercing deep into the sky dome, began to shake violently.

A massive amount of rubble and stone chunks dislodged from the stone pillar, falling like rain.

The giant evil beast shook for a while, its strength began to wane. Then, it opened its mouth and inhaled another drop of ‘Stone Heart Blood.’

This shaking continued for almost half a moment, leaving Zhou Liangchen, Xiao Yi, and the others feeling shaken to their core, their qi-blood in disarray, and their eardrums in extreme discomfort.

As time passed, the sky-reaching stone pillar gradually revealed its true form.

It was actually a giant tree, its bark red, rough and weathered, like cracked earth after a long drought.

With just one glance, everyone recognized this tree as a giant Blood Pine.

It originally had no branches, but as the outer layer of stone fell off, new branches and buds started to grow from this giant trunk.

These branches and buds grew wildly, instantly filling the entire sky.

“It’s Wood Sword Immortal!”

Ren Zhongshou’s eyes were filled with despair.

This sky-reaching giant pillar-like Blood Pine clearly contained a powerful and terrifying Sword Intent!

Ren Zhongshou felt the fiery gazes of his three junior brothers behind him.

Xuee Tingyou’s expression was thrilled, his cheeks flushed with a hint of red, “That’s not Stone Heart Blood, but the blood of Wood Sword Immortal.”
