Perfect World Chapter 1460

Chapter 1460 - Mother Root
“This place really isn’t bad, I want to cultivate in seclusion here.” Shi Hao muttered. He stared at the golden pool, collecting another cauldron of the elixir to use later.
Moo...
The golden bull’s cry sounded from the distance. That Immortal Gold creature wandered about the surroundings, already returning, because it had been chasing the great cultivator the entire time, its search taking it back to its nest.
“Let’s go!” Shi Hao didn’t want to run into the golden bull. Even with the undead knight at his side, once they ran into each other, it was hard to say who would kill who.
It was because that golden bull was suspected to have been revived through an immortal’s methods. Even though it was still in an early stage, far from being comparable to the past, compared to normal people, it was still extremely formidable.
The undead knight remained indifferent, remaining calm the entire time. It didn’t reveal any fluctuation in mood even after killing a great cultivator, as if it was a dried-up stake.
However, it still followed Shi Hao. The two quickly left, entering the distant mountain range.
“Where is that Heavenly Deity Tree?” Shi Hao looked around. There was an ancient tree precisely in this region. In his perspective, this tree was even more precious than divine medicines.
The undead knight didn’t say anything, just following behind Shi Hao.
However, he felt like this young fellow was a bit unreliable. Just now, didn’t it shout noisily how it wanted to kill a group of old foreign monsters? Why did he end up looking for a tree now?
“We are just checking along the way. If we can bring it away, then it’ll be an unmatched dao fruit!” Shi Hao’s saliva was even about to flow out.
He felt a bit of longing for it. Once he could obtain the four stalks of Heavenly Deity Tree in this world, returning it to its legendary form, the four trees into one, it would become a long life immortal medicine tree!
At that time, its value would be unimaginable, becoming a Heavenly Immortal Tree!
Heavenly Deity Tree’s fruits, once ingested, could immediately raise one to the heavenly deity level, one didn’t even need to cultivate.
If the four trees merged into one, the medicinal effects wouldn’t be as simple as just additive, but rather increase explosively. This was a type of transformation, an incredible evolution.
The fruits of the Heavenly Immortal Tree were rare supreme treasures, not appearing many times from past until now. There were legends that said that once it was eaten, one could immediately become a true immortal!
Just what kind of inconceivable power was this?
Its was precisely because it was too heaven-defying that it was divided into four trees by a mysterious wave of power. Of course, there were people who said that this was the result of a great battle, that the mother root split into four parts.
“Hey, old tree, wake up, your brother is over here, help me look for it.”
Shi Hao had an excited expression on his face. He produced a pot, inside of it a small tree that was entirely golden and resplendent, shining like the sun, branches strong. Even though it was short, it carried mottled traces of time.
This Heavenly Deity Tree was obtained during the struggle between the three thousand provinces’ young cultivators, brought back from Immortal Ancient Remains.
The pot’s contents weren’t ordinary, holding All Life Earth. This earth could prevent the decaying of all life, produce life. It was rumored that immortal kings were buried in this type of earth following their death.
It was because as long as the remains were still there, after billions of years, by being buried in this earth, there is a chance of producing new life. However, at that time, perhaps they would no longer be their past selves.
Of course, there was a chance that they might still be the same person, at the very least, their bodies wouldn’t change!
In short, this earth’s value was astonishingly high, unimaginable. Shi Hao regarded it as priceless treasure.
Back then, the reason why Shi Hao could bring away the Heavenly Deity Tree was precisely because of this type of All Life Earth.
Before the golden Heavenly Deity Tree reacted, fully awakening, the undead knight on the side reacted first. It stared at the All Life Earth, an astonishing wave of black mist surging from it.
Its silver pupils narrowed into two slits, sharp like the edge of a sword. Then, like a ghost, it rushed forward with a single step, wishing to seize the All Life Earth.
“What are you trying to do?” Shi Hao quickly backed up, hugging this pot. He raised the Everlasting Sword Core, standing against him, careful and on guard.
“Burial Earth… you… where did you get it from?” The undead knight said quietly, its voice hoarse, transmitting an indistinct will. Conversing with Shi Hao has always been difficult, but fortunately, they could understand each other’s intentions.
Shi Hao was a bit stupefied. Burial Earth?
He lowered his head to look at the sparkling granules. This was precisely the famous All Life Earth that could bury immortal kings.
He immediately knew that the Burial Earth the other party talked about referred to this most divine and perfect All Life Earth.
This thing can nurture all living things, produce new life. It possesses the life essence energy of the primordial era, so how can it be Burial Earth?” Shi Hao asked with doubt.
“This is one of the legendary, most precious Burial Earths, yet you actually possess some!” The undead knight’s pupils flickered with divine radiance. The rotting wings appeared behind him, black mist surging out.
His figure towered in the darkness, even now, Shi Hao never saw its true appearance.
Shi Hao didn’t want to recklessly use his Heavenly Eyes, fearing that it would reveal a bad reaction.
He was a bit stunned. The All Life Earth that was used to bury immortal kings actually came from Ancient Burial Region? It was a type of exceptional burial earth?
“Wait!” He felt a headache, immediately thinking of many things. This piece of information was a bit shocking, containing too much great karma.
It was because this meant that Ancient Burial Region was no longer isolated, but rather connected to the outside world.
“Those immortal kings, after exhausting all of their efforts, found some All Life Earth, burying themselves inside, this… is because they wish to become undead knights?”
Shi Hao’s scalp went numb, his mind in a bit of chaos.
“Impossible! They cannot become undead knights if they are not of my race!” The mysterious creature said with an overcast voice as it approached, coldly rejecting his guess.
“Aren’t you guys dead? Are you really a race?!” Shi Hao widened his eyes with shock.
The undead knight looked at him coldly, feeling dissatisfaction with this type of disrespectful method of address. Its silence told Shi Hao that it wasn’t a dead person in the so-called normal reasoning.
“Can you calm down for a bit?” Shi Hao waved his hand. After he produced the All Life Earth, a series of suspicions appeared, making him feel a bit overwhelmed.
“Hey, little fella, what did you call me for? Why can this corpse walk? Are you helping him settle some remaining grudges or something?”
After a long time had passed, the old Heavenly Deity Tree spoke up, putting on a frivolous appearance like an old rascal.
Shi Hao snapped back, no longer thinking too much about it. “Your brother is here, can you call it out?”
Shi Hao told it that there was a Heavenly Deity Tree here, rooted in a hidden place.
“Wu, I can sense that there is a mother root nearby, a familiar aura. Let me give it a try.” The old tree mumbled, its branches and leaves swaying about. Golden radiance surged, a wave of unique aura immediately rushing towards the distant mountain ridge.
Soon afterwards, they saw a tree that wasn’t that tall, but it was extremely brilliant, entirely fiery red, leaves like a flying Vermilion Bird, carrying heaven overflowing fiery light.
The heavenly deity trees were of different color, this one was scarlet red, moreover not as large as he had imagined.
However, its aura wasn’t any bit inferior to the golden one in Shi Hao’s hands.
Back then, when the golden ancient tree was discovered, the treetop soared into the sky, even taller than a mountain peak. Now, it shrunk in size, remaining in the pot, not revealing its true body.
“Brother, return home, don’t run!” The golden ancient tree shouted.
It was because when it was discovered by that scarlet red ancient tree, it actually uprooted itself, turning around to run, its two roots like feet, running as fast as they could.
This wasn’t running in a normal reasoning, the mountains, rivers, underground veins all supported it, making its speed even more frightening than Earth to Inches. It was too fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
In the distance, its voice before it disappeared sounded, saying, “Walking together with that damned thing from Burial Earth, there’s no way this old one will be fooled!”
When Shi Hao heard this, he felt a bit dizzy, feeling like this tree was also a good-for-nothing. They were of common origin after all.
This Heavenly Deity Tree took root in the mountain range adjacent to Ancient Burial Region, clearly knowing what an undead knight was. It clearly disliked that type of mysterious creature.
“Chase after it!”
The Heavenly Deity Tree in the pot was even more worried than Shi Hao, shouting loudly, even about to rush out from the All Life Earth and chase after it itself.
“Don’t move recklessly, I’ll chase after it!” Shi Hao didn’t dare let it run about randomly. If he couldn’t obtain the tree up ahead and also lost this one, then that really would be terrible.
“Yi, a divine tree, this thing can run? Hurry and stop it!”
Right at this time, shouting voices sounded from ahead. A group of foreign creatures entered deep into the mountains, perfectly stopping that old tree, cutting it off.
This time, it wasn’t only youngsters who came, but also two elders. They took the risk and entered Divine Medicine Mountain Range, taking the lead!
“Old tree, don’t be scared, I came to save you.” Shi Hao shouted from the back.
“Huang, it’s actually Huang! He followed it out!”
“Haha, we were just looking for him, yet he actually came on his own. With Nine Eyes Daoist here, capturing him is as easy as a flip of the hand!” Someone said while laughing loudly.
“Did you come inside to throw away your lives?” Shi Hao asked nonchalantly as he approached.
Too arrogant! The foreign creatures all laughed coldly, carrying looks of disdain, as well as killing intent. They looked at Huang who was rushing out from the forest with the eyes of looking at a dead person.
“This is fine as well, I’ll kill you all first. I will bury everyone who came this time, give the foreign clans backing you who are waiting for good news a nice surprise!” Shi Hao said with a big smile.
