Chapter 255 The Divine Tree of Life
"What! This is impossible! Even the monsters we fought before wouldn't dare take a punch from me like that!"
Dai Dabai stared at Chen Xuan in shock. He hadn't expected that Chen Xuan could grab his fist so easily.
"Hmph, with a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, you dare to bark like that here!" Chen Xuan snorted coldly, exerted force with his palm, and directly broke Dai Dabai's arm, then kicked him in the chest.
Dai Dabai screamed and flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.
"You're clearly only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, how could you be so strong?" Dai Dabai got up and looked at Chen Xuan in disbelief.
"Hmph, this is the difference between you and me!" Chen Xuan sneered. "You are nothing but an ant in front of me!"
"Impossible! You're only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. If I were to use my full strength, I could put up a fight. How could you be so powerful!" Dai Dabai shouted.
"Hmph, why should I tell you?" Chen Xuan snorted coldly, walked directly to Dai Dabai's side, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him up.
"What, what do you want to do!" Dai Dabai looked at Chen Xuan in horror. He already felt that he was no match for Chen Xuan at all, and he could only let Chen Xuan slaughter him.
"What am I going to do? Of course, I'm going to take back the treasure you have!"
"White Tiger Mad God!"
Dai Dabai shouted, and his body began to grow even larger. Chen Xuan could not hold him with one hand and had to let go.
The moment Chen Xuan let go, Dai Dabai took out a teleportation talisman, trying to escape the scene. However, Chen Xuan flicked his finger, and the teleportation talisman turned into ashes.
"You White Tiger, you're nothing special!" Chen Xuan sneered, then swung out a palm and flung Dai Dabai aside.
Immediately afterwards, he made a clenching motion in the air with his right hand, and a long sword appeared in his hand.
"Fellow Daoist, I'm taking this piece of wood. If you know what's good for you, hand it over obediently! Otherwise..."
"Pah, don't even think about it!" Dai Dabai spat and charged at Chen Xuan again.
Chen Xuan shook his head, then swung his sword.
The sword strike was so fast that even Dai Dabai didn't have time to react.
With a muffled "thud," a bloody gash appeared on Dai Dabai's chest, and he flew backward, crashing to the ground.
"Still unwilling to hand it over?" Chen Xuan asked.
Dai Dabai took a breath and then struggled to get up.
"I...I refuse to accept this!" he said through gritted teeth.
"You're not convinced? Fine! I'll beat you until you submit!" Chen Xuan sneered and raised his longsword again.
Although playing with Dai Dabai and Zhu Zhu might be somewhat entertaining, given his tactlessness, it's not that I necessarily want to spare his life.
Meanwhile, seeing the intense killing intent emanating from Chen Xuan, Dai Dabai quickly begged for mercy:
"No! I'll give it to you! I'll hand it over!" Dai Dabai shouted immediately upon seeing this. He knew that if he didn't hand it over, he might die here.
"You're smart to know what's good for you!" Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
Then, Dai Dabai reluctantly took out a wooden box from his pocket and threw it to Chen Xuan.
"Take it!"
Chen Xuan took the wooden box, opened it, and found a piece of wood inside that emitted a faint green light.
"What...what kind of wood is this?" Chen Xuan asked in confusion.
"I'm not quite sure, but I can feel a lot of life energy inside, which is extremely useful to me."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan carefully examined the piece of wood in his hand.
The piece of wood was entirely black with a smooth, mirror-like surface, making it look like an ordinary piece of wood.
Although the wood looked ordinary, Chen Xuan could sense that it contained a rich life force, as if it contained endless vitality.
"Madam, can you tell anything from this piece of wood?" Chen Xuan asked Qing Lanyu.
"This is... the heart of the Tree of Life?" Qinglan Yu's tone was extremely shocked, and even unintentionally, a trace of her original voice, that of Fairy Qinglan, was revealed.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the wood in Chen Xuan's hand, and they did not notice Qinglan Yu's unusual behavior.
"The Tree of Life? Never heard of it!" Chen Xuan was a little confused. He had read all the medical books in the cultivation world, but he had never heard of this so-called Tree of Life!
"I also saw the record by chance, and now I'll tell you its function!" Qing Lanyu directly transmitted her voice to Chen Xuan, informing him of the origin and function of the Tree of Life.
The Tree of Life is an extremely rare spiritual tree. It is said that it was transformed from a branch left behind by the Immortal King of Life when he ascended to the Immortal Realm in the ancient world of cultivation, and it became the Tree of Life we know today.
The Tree of Life is a treasure trove; its leaves, branches, and roots are all potential sources of power for cultivators to reach the summit. And now... the heart of the Tree of Life has appeared here!
As for the heart of the Tree of Life, it is even more extraordinary. It contains all the essence of the Tree of Life and possesses infinite vitality, which can greatly increase a cultivator's lifespan and may even break through the limit of lifespan!
"I never expected to find the heart of the Tree of Life here. It seems we've made quite a haul this time!" Chen Xuan thought to himself with delight.
Upon seeing this, Qing Lanyu pursed her lips slightly.
She felt like she was going crazy. Her first reaction to seeing Chen Xuan acquire the treasure was genuine happiness for him, not to seize it and pave the way for the Green Mountain Ancestor!
Did he call himself "wife"? I...
Compared to Qinglan Yu, Chen Xuan was much happier. He held the newly acquired Tree Heart of Life in his hands and played with it, reluctant to put it down.
What he didn't know was that deep within the tree's heart, there was a strange tremor.
"No, the heart of this Tree of Life seems a bit strange, as if it's sealed by something!" Chen Xuan pulled Qing Lanyu over and transmitted his voice to her. After careful observation, the two of them did indeed discover a clue.
"Try channeling your spiritual energy into it!" Qing Lanyu suggested.
After hearing this, Chen Xuan tried to channel his spiritual power into the heart of the Tree of Life in an attempt to break the seal.
However, the moment Chen Xuan's spiritual power touched the heart of the Tree of Life, it was rebounded by a powerful force, causing his arm to go numb.
"What a powerful seal!" Chen Xuan was shocked.
This seal seemed to be even more powerful than he had imagined, and he couldn't break it with his spiritual power at all.
“I have studied sealing techniques in my family, let me try it!” Qing Lanyu suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan didn't think twice and simply tossed it to Qing Lanyu.
