Chapter 656: Chapter 641 Exploration_4

But once the vines disappeared, the figure of that cultivator was gone from the spot...

Only specks of starlight continued to dance tenaciously, like fireflies.

Even though the cultivator had died, he still contributed to Fang Xi...

...

Liu Xu’s expression was somewhat vacant as she gazed at a verdant mountain peak ahead.

The mountain was lush green throughout, as if it were built entirely from the most lucid and translucent jade.

At the summit of the mountain, there was also a magnificent palace.

She had been transported to this place as soon as she entered the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm, and was now somewhat bewildered.

But as a cultivator at the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage, she quickly adjusted and recovered.

"I must take a gamble for Transcendence," she thought.

Liu Xu knew all too well that the Dragon Fish Island’s Lord Master had never truly accepted her as a disciple, only teaching her a Wooden Element cultivation method.

And even as a disciple of the Transcendent God, advancing to Transcendence was incredibly difficult.

Her Heavenly Grade Wooden Spiritual Root was of exceptional quality, but among the many Nascent Soul old monsters in the Mortal Realm, there were still many with better talents than hers, yet they too ultimately stopped before the threshold to Transcendence.

"Without a great opportunity from heaven, Transcendence in this life is hopeless..."

"There’s only one portion of Transcendent God Elixir, which the Island Master could give to Hong Yu or Ling Shu... but instead, it’s been put up as a reward. To attain Transcendence, I must fight with all my might!"

With determination in her eyes, Liu Xu wielded a Green Wood Shield and flew towards that verdant mountain peak.

The vast palace lacked any plaque, and as Liu Xu approached the palace, a gentle voice sounded in her ear, "Heavenly Grade Wood Spiritual Root, Earth Grade Water Spiritual Root, practicing the Wooden-Water Mutual Aid Secret Skill, with an upper-class Spiritual Root aptitude, the official disciple assessment begins..."

Liu Xu was taken aback and then immediately enveloped in a blur, finding herself trapped within an illusion.

This illusion was so lifelike that even she, a Nascent Soul cultivator, couldn’t help but be instantly immersed in it...

...

Outside the Secret Realm.

A group of Transcendent God old monsters also stood on the deck, their moods fluctuating with the fortunes of their chosen candidates.

"Chi Lian... Your red hair is in grave danger..."

Xiao Qing bounced around carelessly and heartlessly.

Fang Xi, however, sat steadily fishing, his face devoid of any expression.

For him, when these Transcendent Gods chose to act was a matter of indifference.

At that moment, his hands formed seals, and beams of light flew out, landing in the sand table before him, glittering like grains of stars.

In the light of these stars, layers upon layers of fog dispersed, revealing the entirety of the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm!

This was also the significance of the many sacrifices made by those Nascent Soul cultivators!

"Overall speaking... so far, no trace of that hidden figure’s involvement has been seen..."

"The entire Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm can be divided into three layers... The outermost is a forest of divine trees... encircled by the Mother Qi of All Woods!"

"The inner layer is a mountain verdant as jade... With luck, one might even encounter inheritances and trials..."

"As for the true core layer... I’m afraid it’s still hidden."

As the master of ’Treasures of All Heavens’, Fang Xi was exceptionally sensitive to the mysteries of such spaces.

Based on the intelligence previously gathered from the sacrifices of many Nascent Soul cultivators, he derived logical conclusions.

Meanwhile, the voice of ’Tai Yi’ joined in:

"Master, after comparison, the phantom of the great tree that appeared in the Secret Realm has a 98.5% probability of being the ’Chunqiu Tree’, a 66.2% probability of being the ’Ten Thousand Spirit Wood’, and a 39.6% probability of being a ’Perennial Green Tree of a different species’..."

"Chunqiu Tree?"

Fang Xi murmured.

This ’Chunqiu Tree’, reportedly subspecies of the ’Big Chun Tree’ that experiences spring for eight thousand years and autumn for another eight thousand, what formidable power did it possess?

"Taoist Master..."

Both Ghost Axe and Demon Exterminator looked towards Fang Xi.

Fang Xi was decisive and immediately began arranging the Array Map according to the geographic information he had about the Secret Realm, "Get ready to set up the Heavenly Refining Array... I intend to thoroughly refine this Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm!"

It was quite disadvantageous to battle in someone else’s home turf; hence, he chose to dismantle it completely!
