Chapter 1631: Chapter 1651: Under the Divine Wood, Divine Wood Palace_1

"I need a favor from you..."

Fang Wubing was surprised as he looked at Lin Chen: "Why so formal all of a sudden, just tell me what you need!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "For this trip to the Divine Wood Palace, I hope to visit under your name, in short, I don’t want to show up."

Fang Wubing readily agreed, "Of course, that’s not a problem. But can I know why?"

Lin Chen replied, "I have a good relationship with Fairy Xuan Ji and Wijiao is my enemy. She happens to be in charge of the eastern part of the Heavenly Mystery Continent, so I don’t want her to know about me – including the identity of my friends. I’m afraid it might cause trouble for them."

Fang Wubing understood and looked somewhat sly. "It’s a small matter. Of course, there’s no problem. However, seeing how much you value and care about it, is she really just a friend?"

Lin Chen honestly replied, "My wife."

Fang Wubing’s eyes widened in surprise, "Damn, you’ve only been in the Immortal Realm for a few years, and you already have a wife??"

Lin Chen explained somewhat irritably, "What are you talking about? We both came from the mortal world, it’s just that because of differences in spiritual roots, we ended up joining different sects."

Fang Wubing said in surprise, "For those who walk the Immortal Path, indifference is the norm. Yet you two have managed to traverse the Three Realms in such a short amount of time and even entered the Divine Wood Palace. She must have a strong talent, right?"

Lin Chen answered honestly, "She did not cultivate when she was in the mortal world. Because of my serious injury, I managed to send her into a sect in the Barren Wilderness. Who knew that she’d be born with a wood spirit body and attracted the attention of the sect. The Divine Wood Palace also snapped at the chance to recruit her ..."

Fang Wubing exclaimed in astonishment, "A wood spirit body? That’s a top-class spiritual root. Your luck is really formidable."

"Alright, I’ll visit the Divine Wood Palace on your behalf and pay a visit to her. This way, even if there are those with ulterior motives, they won’t know you are involved."

Lin Chen let out a sigh of relief. Having revealed himself at the North Profound Sect, Lin Chen had been worrying that he had been spotted by Weijiao’s people. Therefore, going to the Divine Wood Palace quietly was the best course of action.

Lin Chen didn’t want to cause trouble for Gu Yuexi.

...

"The Divine Wood Palace is located within this continuous mountain range, enveloped by dense primitive forests. Unless a cultivator, it is simply impossible to reach."

Lin Chen and the others rode a flying boat, soaring over the dense jungle.

Lin Chen gazed down at the jungle beneath him, remarking in surprise, "The trees here are so tall and stout! They must be thousands of meters high!"

Fang Wubing laughed, "This may also be a reason why the Divine Wood Sect chose to set up here. Battling in such a place provides them with a unique advantage when it comes to using wood attribute spells."

"These trees are nothing much. The true spectacle is the giant tree inside the Divine Wood Palace..."

Curious, Lin Chen asked, "Is it big?"

Fang Wubing chuckled, "More than just big, it’s super huge! It towers into the sky and can be seen for thousands of miles around."

Soon, Lin Chen saw the giant tree Fang Wubing had been talking about. It was so tall that white clouds encircled only its waist. Its crown stood above the clouds, reaching into the sky. Its branches and leaves spread out from the clouds for hundreds of miles, covering the sky and obscuring the sun.

The Divine Wood Palace was located beneath this enormous tree.

The Divine Wood Palace was built atop these towering mountains. But beneath the towering Divine Tree, these commanding peaks paled into insignificance.

At the mountain gate, Fang Wubing announced his identity and was warmly welcomed into the mountain gate.

The Multi-Treasure Dao Sect was one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, and as a Saint Child of the Multi-Treasure Dao Sect, Fang Wubing certainly held a respectable position.

Though the Divine Wood Palace was also one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, it was somewhat inferior when compared with the Multi-Treasure Dao Sect.

The Elder of the Divine Wood Palace, Zhao Rui, welcomed Fang Wubing. After exchanging greetings, he asked about the purpose of Fang Wubing’s visit.

"Why has the Saint Child graced the Divine Wood Palace with his presence?"

Fang Wubing smiled, "This time, I’m here to visit a friend."

Surprised, Zhao Rui asked, "And who might this friend of the Saint Child be?"

Fang Wubing replied with a smile, "Gu Yuexi. However, I’m not sure which peak’s disciple she is. She has a wood spirit body."

Zhao Rui appeared startled yet somewhat intrigued, "Gu Yuexi hasn’t been in our sect for very long, and she hasn’t ventured out much. How did you become acquainted with her?"

"A mutual friend introduced us."

Fang Wubing replied nonchalantly, then asked with a smile, "May I meet her?"

"Today happens to be the day of the sect’s Grand Competition. She should be at the race field. Please follow me."

Fang Wubing asked curiously, "The Grand Competition?"

With a smile, Zhao Rui explained, "It’s a contest among the disciples to increase their combat experience. It’s held once a year."

Fang Wubing laughed, "That indeed sounds exciting! It seems I am lucky to witness this."

Zhao Rui laughed, "If Saint Fang is interested, you are welcome to join in and guide our Divine Wood disciples."

Fang Wubing shook his head, "That wouldn’t be appropriate."

Zhao Rui chuckled and did not press the matter further. After all, Fang Wubing was a powerhouse in the top ten of the True Immortal List. If he really participated, the true immortals of the sect wouldn’t be able to withstand him.

Lin Chen followed silently beside Fang Wubing, quiet as a personal attendant.

Fang Wubing made no introductions, and Zhao Rui asked no questions.

Together they crossed several mountain peaks, and their vision suddenly brightened.

There was a large lake between the mountains. The mountainsides were filled with the disciples of the Divine Wood Palace, while the wide lake was the scene of an exceptionally fierce battle between two disciples.
