God Emperor Chapter 1125 - Holy Tree

Chapter 1125: Holy Tree

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The first one on the ‘Half-Saint Rank’ was a Sycamore tree, which was a surprise to everyone.
The eyes of Ouyang Huan gleamed, and he looked at the yellow-shirted man in confusion. He said, “Legend has it that five holy trees came into being in Kunlun’s Field a long time ago, and they were the five spirit roots. They were Divine Sky-Connecting Tree in the center, Divine Mulberry-Supporting Tree in the east, Divine Sycamore Tree in the south, Divine Bodhi Tree in the west and Divine Plantain Tree in the north. Is Qiu Yu related to the mythical Divine Sycamore Tree?”
Qiu Yu claimed he was from the south just now, which made people wonder whether he was related to the Divine Sycamore Tree from the south or not.
Qi Feiyu stood beside Ouyang Huan and said, “I heard that Divine Sycamore Tree once tried to fight Divine Sky-Connecting Tree to see who the strongest spirit root is, and that fight was extraordinary. In the end, Divine Sky-Connecting Tree defeated Divine Sycamore Tree.”
“Divine Sycamore Tree was severely injured and went back to the south. It recovered for twenty thousand years but still couldn’t get back to the peak, instead, it tried everything to get to a higher level to revenge itself, which led to hidden dangers in its body. In the end, it ignited itself and was burnt to death.”
“It’s documented that the fires from the self-ignition of Divine Sycamore Tree turned the sky above the entire south red, and it stopped after burning for five hundred years.”
“Even until now, there’s a fiery domain that’s hundreds of thousands of square miles in the south, and at the center is where Divine Sycamore Tree is rooted. It’s been burning for millennia, but it’s never been put out. It seems that it’ll keep burning until the end of time.”
A demonic way half saint from Moon Worship Demonic Sect asked, “Is Divine Sycamore Tree really rooted at the center of the fiery domain? Isn’t that a holy place for refinement?”
“No.”
Qi Feiyu shook her head and said, “That’s a land of extremes. No creatures can ever reach the center of the fiery domain. Even saints will be burnt to death if they trespass in the center of the fiery domain.”
Lan Caisang’s eyes glinted with admiration. She said, “Qiu Yu’s power is earthshaking. He’s already this powerful yet he isn’t even a saint yet, so just imagine how strong he will become when he reaches the state of saint. Perhaps he’s indeed related to the mythical Divine Sycamore Tree.”
Qiu Yu was indeed inconceivably powerful, so strong that it didn’t feel like a creature under the state of saint.
Even Monk Lidi and Xue Wuye were likely to be defeated by Qiu Yu, and they were widely thought to be the most powerful beings under state of saint.
Everyone believed that Qiu Yu had an impressive background.
“Is he a plant grown from a new seed of the Divine Sycamore Tree? Which means he’s a son of God! He’s of noble blood!” someone speculated.
Some other creatures thought, “Although Divine Sycamore Tree died of self-ignition, nobody knows whether some roots remained in the underground of the fiery domain. Even if there’s only one root left, Divine Sycamore Tree can be reborn.”
Rosefinch Fairy squinted her eyes and stared at Qiu Yu. She seemed to have mixed feelings and said, “After Divine Sky-Connecting Tree was cut down, no creatures in Kunlun’s Field became gods. Some creatures with great intelligence speculated that the spirit roots of sky and land are connected to the rules of sky and land. As the spirit roots have disappeared, rules of sky and land are now flawed.”
“And now, Kunlun’s Field might still have some hope as Qiu Yu had shown up. If he can grow to become a holy tree, he’ll become a new spirit root of sky and land in Kunlun’s Field, making up the rules of sky and land.”
Everyone looked to Qiu Yu as they head this, and all of them looked at Qiu Yu in a different way.
Qiu Yu had an immense influence now. If he was willing to, countless creatures would follow him to refine themselves.
Gradually, Mu Lingxi woke up, and she opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Qiu Yu, then, he looked to Dragon Top Mountain.
Hua La.
She immediately stood up and tried to rush to Dragon Top Mountain again.
However, right after she took a step, she felt so weak that she couldn’t even stand straight. She dived.
Qiu Yu reached out his hand, which formed a giant hand print, holding her. He said, “There’s ancient ice phoenix in your blood, and it has been awoken. Refine with me, and we’ll enter the state of god.”
If other creatures said something like that, they would’ve been laughed at.
However, when Qiu Yu said so, he said it with a special charisma and sounded convincing, and nobody would doubt he was actually capable of doing that.
Legend had it that the phoenix and Divine Sycamore Tree had a special bond, and they had been mutually beneficial to each other. They were both overlords in the south of Kunlun’s Field in the ancient times, and no creatures dared to mess with them.
Countless creatures envied Mu Lingxi as she had just obtained a great opportunity. As long as she seized that opportunity, she would benefit a lot even if she couldn’t become a god in the future.
“Sister Mu is not only beautiful like an angel, but also incredibly lucky. How come I don’t have the bloodline of ice phoenix?” Lan Caisang said.
Qiu Yu was ranked first on the ‘Half-Saint Rank’, which meant he was the greatest being among those in the same realm. Everyone wanted to refine with him.
Besides, Qiu Yu might grow to become a holy tree in the future, and possibly a spirit root of sky and land.
Whoever teamed up with him to refine would be rewarded a great deal.
Mu Lingxi took out a pill and swallowed it. Gradually, she regained her strength.
She held her fists and bowed toward Qiu Yu. “Thank you for saving my life. I’ll definitely prepare a great gift to thank you for it in the future.”
After that, Mu Lingxi opened her wings wide and flew toward Dragon Top Mountain.
She turned Qiu Yu down?
Everyone was shocked as they couldn’t understand why Mu Lingyu would make such a stupid decision.
Only a few of them knew the reasons behind it.
Qiu Yu frowned and looked in the direction where Mu Lingxi flew away, and he stared at the peak of Dragon Top Mountain. He thought about it and whispered to himself, “Is it because of that human?”
Mu Lingxi was of great importance to him.
The Sycamore Tree needed to absorb the power of the phoenix to grow and to have a chance to become a holy tree.
As a phoenix, it needed to absorb the power of the Sycamore Tree to become stronger.
They were indeed mutually beneficial to each other.
Unfortunately, the phoenixes had been extinct for a long time, and those who were left only had a bit of phoenix blood inside their bodies. Most of those descendants had too much of other bloodlines and had lost their divine nature.
Mu Lingxi was also a descendant of phoenixes, and fortunately, her phoenix blood was relatively pure, and the ice phoenix bloodline in her body had been completely awoken.
Qiu Yu was confident enough that as long as Mu Lingxi refined with him, the ice phoenix bloodline would become purer to an extent that it might cast away the human forces inside her body, after which she might become a real phoenix.
Unfortunately, Mu Lingxi turned him down.
The battle in Dragon Top Mountain continued. Savage beasts and immortal vampires were crushing Huang Yanchen, Qing Mo, White Li Princess, Sun Dadi and Murong Yue, and they were reaching the top.
Both Sun Dadi and Murong Yue had been severely injured. There were at least dozens of wounds on their bodies, and some of them had pierced through their flesh and blood, revealing their bone.
Their bodies were rugged already, and they would’ve been dead if it weren’t for the special constitution they had. They had great life force, which was why they could still keep fighting.
After all, Zhang Ruochen was dead, and everyone felt guilty. They couldn’t let themselves be killed by the immortal vampires and savage beasts.
“Amitabha!”
“Let’s fight!”
Monk Lidi and Xue Wuye performed their body techniques and rushed toward Dragon Top Mountain.
They were Zhang Ruochen’s acquaintances. If Zhang Ruochen hadn’t gone mad by refining, they wouldn’t have given up on him.
Technically, they didn’t give up; they just couldn’t do anything about it.
Rosefinch Fairy turned into a trace of gleaming light, condensing into a beautiful woman. She showed up in front of Monk Lidi and Xue Wuye and said, “I suggest that you take this chance to take the human monks out of this place. You must know the consequences if human beings are encircled by the immortal vampires and the savage beasts.”
Xue Wuye smiled. “Are you trying to take care of me or threatening me?”
Rosefinch Fairy answered, “If you retreat, I’m trying to take care of you. If you go forward, it’s a threat.”
“I hate fighting a beautiful girl. She’s all yours!” Xue Wuye said to Monk Lidi, and then, he performed Human Sword and glided past Rosefinch Fairy like a trace of sword light.
Unfortunately, Xue Wuye couldn’t make it to the peak of Dragon Top Mountain. Instead, he was stopped by Heavenly King Bi’an and eight Taigu Remains.
Monk Lidi and Xue Wuye were indeed both powerful, as they could outmatch two Taigu great evil beasts and eight Taigu remains. Unfortunately, they were still stalled by the savage beasts and couldn’t make it to Dragon Top Mountain.
Beigong Lan, Chi Wansui, Wan Huayu and the others all performed their fastest body techniques and rushed toward Dragon Top Mountain.
However, two immortal vampire crown princes and an immortal vampire crown princess rushed out from the space and tried to block them.
Almost all the great beings from savage beast races and immortal vampire races were around Dragon Top Mountain, however, many great beings chose to conceal themselves.
If all the great beings chose to make attacks and decided to annihilate the human monks at all costs, the human race would suffer gravely today.
Of course, this was not likely to happen.
If they were really determined to kill all the human monks, they would also suffer a huge blow.
Also, the battle for the World Spirit was the real fight they should be prepared for, so everyone was preserving and hiding their power.
The fight at the peak of Dragon Top Mountain was approaching its end.
Huang Yanchen, Murong Yue and the others were getting more and more injured, and they had to retreat back to the seven-colored rays.
“Kill everyone related to Zhang Ruochen and avenge the beast kings who got killed.”
“Zhang Ruochen killed a large group of our Qingtian tribe people. Today, we’ll avenge them all! Seize his fiancée for his crimes!”
“What kind of ancient valuables are going to be born on Dragon Top Mountain?”
…
The spirit Qi kept trembling because of the roaring from the savage beasts around Dragon Top Mountain.
A large number of beast kings and immortal vampire great beings rushed upwards from all directions, surrounding the peak completely, and then, they got into the clouds and mist made of seven-colored rays of light.
