Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 405 Rootless Tree

The Sanzu Mountain Secret Realm opened its gates wide, and as the appointed time arrived, cultivators from the Xia, Nian, and Yan families began to flood into the secret realm in large numbers, slaying demons and plundering resources.

As time passed, more and more demons fell under the swords of the three cultivators, and the three cultivators occupied more and more resource points.

It must be said that the Sanzu Mountain Secret Realm is extraordinary. Even the outer area produces a lot of resources. Of course, what the three families really value are the second-tier resource points. In order to compete for these resources, the three families have used various means. After all, according to the previous agreement, whoever occupies these resource points first will gain ownership of them.

However, the Sanzu Mountain Secret Realm was not an easy path. As the cultivators from the three families ventured deeper, they encountered more and more dangers.

Just as the three cultivators were working hard to expand their territory, a shadowy figure silently appeared deep within the secret realm.

"We're not far from Mirror Lake, the core area of ​​the Sanzu Mountain Secret Realm. We can't get any closer; it's dangerous there."

With wings spread behind it, the shadowy figure blocked out the colorful rays of light.

The Sanzu Mountain Secret Realm is surrounded by mountains and dense forests, with a large lake in the middle. The most peculiar thing is that the sky is colorful, and sometimes iridescent light falls down. Once a cultivator is enveloped by it, he may be bewitched.

"Now that the cultivators from the three families have gone deep into the inner circle, Jiang Chen has also entered the inner circle. It's time."

With a sudden thought, Youying took out a jade bottle containing a drop of blood, which manifested as the shadow of ten thousand beasts.

"With the True Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts, Jiang Chen is doomed this time."

A murderous glint flashed in his eyes as Youying activated his secret technique.

In the next instant, the blood in the bottle ignited, and wisps of blood energy rose continuously, beginning to merge into the spiritual energy of the secret realm.

Seeing this, Youying revealed a cold smile.

This True Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts was a secret medicine specially created by the Thunder Roc Clan to deal with the Impermanence Sect. Its function is simple: to stimulate the bloodline of demons, causing them to go berserk for a short period of time and unleash power far beyond the ordinary.

As time passed, more and more roars of beasts rang out, filled with savagery.

Taking in all these changes, the smile on Youying's face grew even wider.

"The show has begun."

With a whisper, the shadowy figure spread its wings and swiftly fled into the distance, while the increasingly frenzied demons ignored it completely.

The three cultivators were unaware of all this, and the spread of the True Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts would take some time.

Meanwhile, following the clues provided by the Nian family, Jiang Chen found a special place.

"The underground currents, concealing illusory light, must be this place."

He descended underground and found a flowing underground river. Looking at the place in front of him that was completely shrouded in colorful light, Jiang Chen knew that he had not come to the wrong place.

This is a natural and dangerous place within the Santu Mountain Secret Realm. During the initial exploration, the Nian family cultivators discovered traces of the Rootless Tree here. However, the place is shrouded in illusory light that changes constantly, making it too dangerous, so the Nian family cultivators did not explore it further.

Originally, Jiang Chen was supposed to travel with the Nian family cultivators, but the Nian family's main focus was on competing for resource points. The location of the Rootless Tree was quite deep, and in order to avoid others getting there first, Jiang Chen chose to separate from Nian Hua and search for the Rootless Tree alone.

"I hope you don't disappoint me."

With his spiritual powers activated, his eyes shone brightly, piercing through illusions. He concealed his aura with the Dark Immortal Robe and protected himself with the Pure Spiritual Light, and slowly walked into the depths of the Dark River.

Although these colorful illusions can create illusions and bewitch people's minds, they are not actually dangerous to him. At least, the illusions in front of him do not pose a threat to him.

As they ventured deeper, a vast cave appeared before Jiang Chen's eyes. "Found it already?"

Separating the illusory light, Jiang Chen looked at the spirit tree before him, whose underground roots were hollow but which was still growing lushly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

There were no guardian beasts, no traps, and he simply parted the illusory light outside to find the Rootless Tree. The whole process was incredibly smooth, as if someone had deliberately placed the Rootless Tree there for him to retrieve.

After all, it's not so easy for anyone other than him to get into this place.

"That's quite unexpected."

Looking at the rootless tree so close to him, Jiang Chen had a variety of thoughts flashing through his mind.

Things were going too smoothly; if he hadn't checked several times, he would have suspected that the rootless tree in front of him was an illusion.

"It seems there's more to this trip to the secret realm than meets the eye."

With a sudden thought, Jiang Chen put away the rootless wood. With this rootless wood, he had all the materials needed to refine the money tree.

However, after obtaining the Rootless Wood, Jiang Chen did not rush to leave.

“There seems to be something else mysterious about this place.”

Jiang Chen shifted his gaze to examine the stone walls deep within the cave. In the instant he collected the Rootless Wood, his powerful divine sense detected something unusual.

The next instant, the magical artifact, the Primordial Chaos Banner, appeared. Jiang Chen activated the banner's power to empower himself, pushing the Clear Vision Technique to its limit. In an instant, the cave shone with light, and all the illusory scenes vanished.

"The real and the fake have been switched. It turns out that the upstream of the hidden current is behind this stone wall. On the surface, the upstream of the hidden current is a dead land. I just don't know where this hidden current connects to. Judging from the faint aura it leaks out, it seems to be quite extraordinary."

Having discerned the truth from illusion, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought. For some reason, he felt an inexplicable attraction from the hidden passage.

"Now I'm increasingly convinced that the appearance of the rootless tree here is no coincidence."

His expression was inscrutable, and Jiang Chen began to have some guesses.

"If it's really as I guessed, then we need to go and take a look."

With a sudden thought, without hesitation, Jiang Chen passed through the stone wall and followed the source of the dark current.

While Jiang Chen was exploring the secrets in the underground currents, outside, affected by the True Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts, all the demonic beasts in the Three Paths Mountain Secret Realm went mad. A sudden demonic calamity swept through the entire secret realm, catching the three cultivator families off guard.

These demonic beasts became frenzied and bloodthirsty, their strength greatly increased, and many cultivators from the three families were killed or injured in a short period of time.

"What on earth is going on? Why did the monsters in this secret realm suddenly go berserk?"

Realizing something was wrong, he climbed to a high place and looked into the distance. His expression was extremely solemn. Something about this matter seemed very strange, and there must be a secret hidden inside.

"If there is a conspiracy behind this, then who is he? And what is his purpose? Such methods are not something that ordinary people can do. At least my Nian family does not have such methods."

As the thought raced through his mind, a series of figures flashed through Nianhua's mind.

"Could someone be trying to get rid of him?"

Thinking of a certain possibility, Nianhua's face turned extremely grim.
