After receiving Zhu Chen's approval, Qian Renxue immediately activated the Soul-Seizing Technique of the Ancient God's Art and began to absorb the Earth Fire Liquid at the bottom of the lake.

However, her absorption speed was not as fast as Zhu Chen's.

According to Zhu Chen's calculations, if he continues to absorb the energy, Qian Renxue will ultimately obtain a very limited amount of Earth Fire Liquid.

"Xiaoxue...you absorb the remaining earth fire liquid here, I'll go look for other resources nearby..."

Zhu Chen rolled his eyes, then decisively stopped his Soul-Seizing Technique.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue quickly stopped her, saying, "Absolutely not! Brother, you've made countless enemies now, you need these resources even more. If you leave all this Earth Fire Liquid to me, what will you do?"

Zhu Chen waved his hand dismissively: "I can afford to give you some meager Earth Fire Liquid. Hurry up and absorb it. After you've absorbed all of this Earth Fire Liquid, I'll take you to the top of the tree to find other resources."

"Thank you, brother."

Qian Renxue was deeply moved once again by Zhu Chen's 'resource concession'.

She did not refuse Zhu Chen's kindness again, but instead activated the Soul-Seizing Technique with all her might, and began to absorb the essence of the surrounding earth fire liquid even faster.

"now it's right."

Zhu Chen nodded with satisfaction, then turned and sped toward the base of the tree roots.

Qian Renxue is now in love with him, and his cultivation will eventually be hers.

Consider these Earth Fire Liquids as an investment.

Zhu Chen descended and soon arrived at the location of the tree roots.

He found a gemstone here that exuded the purest yang energy.

That is the treasure that coexists with the ancient golden tree—the Sunstone!

This stone contains the essence of solar fire, making it a rare fire-attribute treasure in the world.

Without hesitation, Zhu Chen went up and took the sunstone off.

"—Boom!"

However, just as he took the sunstone, a huge golden crow skeleton suddenly emerged from the muddy bottom of the lake and charged towards him with terrifying force.

"Does a skeleton that's been dead for who knows how many years still want to wreak havoc here?"

Zhu Chen formed hand seals and decisively unleashed the True Phoenix Technique to meet the attack.

"--boom!"

Two giant birds collided violently at the bottom of the lake, and the resulting ripples spread out, startling away the fish swimming around them.

"Your tree roots are quite nice. I'll take a few back and try transplanting them..."

While Zhu Chen was using the True Phoenix Treasure Technique to restrain the Golden Crow skeleton, he also took the opportunity to summon his natal soul sword and cut off several thin tree roots.

However, his actions thoroughly enraged the Ancient Tree of the Sun.

"--boom!"

"--boom!"

"--boom!"

The roots of the ancient sun tree began to shake violently, as if to churn through the entire lakebed.

Zhu Chen sensed something was wrong and immediately stopped what he was doing.

"It's just a few of your roots, why are you being so stingy? Once my brother Han Li has cultivated a few Sun God Trees, I'll repay you a hundredfold..."

After saying that, he turned around and swam quickly towards the lake.

"--boom!"

Just then, the golden crow skeleton also crashed through the phantom of the true phoenix and rushed over again at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

The golden crow's remains were nothing more than a wisp of remnant spirit, and Zhu Chen was too lazy to get entangled with it.

During his retreat, he used the Willow God Technique to summon thousands of divine willow branches, firmly binding him to the depths of the lake.

However, just as he restrained the golden crow skeleton, several even larger black shadows rushed out of the mud at the bottom of the lake.

Those dark figures were beings who once dwelled on the Sun Tree. Now buried here, they have become the guardians of this sacred tree.

Zhu Chen even spotted a silver phoenix whose cultivation had reached the Divine Realm among those shadows!
"Are you still going on and on? If I didn't need to find other resources, I would have stayed and given you a good fight!"

Zhu Chen dared not linger and returned to the area where Qian Renxue was as quickly as possible.

At this moment, Qian Renxue had just finished absorbing the essence of the nearby Earth Fire Liquid. Upon seeing Zhu Chen return, she immediately stood up excitedly.

"Brother, it seems my cultivation has broken through again..."

Qian Renxue's words came to an abrupt halt, because she saw several enormous bird skeletons rushing out of the black pool behind Zhu Chen.

"Go first!"

Zhu Chen leaped past Qian Renxue, grabbed her hand as they passed each other, and then accelerated out of the lava lake.

Then the two of them climbed straight up the main trunk of the sacred tree and arrived at the top of the tree in the blink of an eye.

Inside this treetop space is a magnificent palace complex, where many figures are moving back and forth, and the sounds of magical techniques are emanating from it!

It looks like there's a fight going on there!

Zhu Chen landed on a blue stone platform with Qian Renxue.

At this moment, Qian Renxue also noticed the noise coming from the palace in front.

"I didn't expect the fighting here to be so fierce. It seems we've arrived not too late."

Qian Renxue subconsciously looked at Zhu Chen and said.

There are still so many people fighting fiercely here, so the opportunity inside must not have been taken away by anyone.

"Let's go take a look first..."

Zhu Chen flapped his wings and continued to speed forward with Qian Renxue in his arms.

The two crossed the stone platform and soon arrived at a desolate mountain area.

Zhu Chen stopped here.

Because he saw a group of familiar figures ahead.

It was Honghuang and the others who had traveled with them before.

The group was gathered around a golden flower stamen, their eyes fixed on it with anticipation, as if they were waiting for something.

"Gentlemen, we meet again..."

Zhu Chen and Qian Renxue landed behind the group.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu?"

Honghuang was taken aback when she saw Zhu Chen, but then excitedly ran over: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, you've come at just the right time! We've discovered a Sun God Flower here. Every now and then, a few drops of golden liquid fall from the edge of the flower's stamen. That's a rare and precious treasure..."

Honghuang told Zhu Chen about the situation there without reservation.

She hoped that Zhu Chen could stay and help them guard the Sun God Flower.

As for the liquid gold, they were willing to share it.

Lan Yu and Xuan Ming, among others, had no objections.

Within this treetop space, numerous venerable beings are vying for the treasure.

They had finally discovered this Sun God Flower, and naturally they didn't want to give it away so easily.

Zhu Chen's extraordinary strength is just right to help them protect this Sun God Flower.

To show their sincerity, Honghuang and the others also said that if Zhu Chen could stay and protect the Sun God Flower with them, they would be willing to accept the offer.

They were willing to give most of the liquid gold to Zhu Chen, and only needed a small portion for themselves.

It must be said that these cultivators who came down from the upper realm are quite adept at handling things.

Zhu Chen happened to need these golden liquids, so he agreed to their request without much thought.

However, just as Honghuang and the others were cheering because Zhu Chen had agreed to stay, Zhu Chen's gaze suddenly drifted to the back of a nearby hill: "Aren't you all tired of hiding here for so long?" (End of Chapter)
