《Myth Beyond Heaven 》Chapter 174: Diging The Tree

Ding Yang had also recognized some of the magical plants on the ground. Each of them could easily cause a bloodbath when exposed to the public, but this place actually had all of them, and the number was not low either.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yuhuang wasn't interested in medical profound art, but she still had some knowledge of magical plants. From her estimation, just selling one or two of them could easily send her Zhang clan to the top of the wealthy ranking of the Northern Continent.
Yun Lintian regained his composure and turned to Ding Yang and Zhang Yuhuang. "Do you want them?"
Ding Yang was almost shouted 'Yes' loudly, but he knew he had promised Yun Lintian before coming here. He reluctantly shook his head and said. "No, Brother Yun. We've said before we won't compete for any treasure."
Yun Lintian nodded his head with a smile and went to pick up all the magical plants one by one.
Zhang Yuhuang sent a sound transmission to Ding Yang. "Are we going to watch like this? You know you can ask him for a portion. I don't think he would mind."
Ding Yang turned to look at this stupid woman and replied solemnly. "You ungrateful woman! Do you still have the face to say this? Without him, you won't be able to enter here in the first place."
Zhang Yuhuang stuck her tongue out apologetically. She knew she was shameless by saying this, but who could resist such a temptation? Even though the Zhang clan was wealthy, it was only a speck of dust compared to the value of the magical plants here.
Ding Yang rolled his eyes and said. "Don't forget your purpose in coming here. Go, do what you need to do." Following that, he took out a set of tables and sat down, enjoying the scenery.

Zhang Yuhuang nodded her head and took an imaginary record stone out. Of course, she avoided recording Yun Lintian and the magical plants. All she focused on was the strange altar and pillars at the center.
Yun Lintian saw Zhang Yuhuang recorded the scenery. He frowned slightly and thought it was too risky. However, he didn't intend to stop her. As long as she didn't record him, Yun Lintian didn't mind about it. After all, he was satisfied with the White Dragon Spear she paid.
Yun Lintian speedily harvested the surrounding magical plants and finally arrived in front of a golden tree filled with lightning sparks. This tree was no other than the Divine Thunder Tree.
The Divine Thunder Tree was around three meters high and two meters wide. Yun Lintian stood close to the tree and looked up to see many strange golden rounded fruits hanging down from the branches. He recalled the Record of Life information and found these Divine Thunder Fruit were already matured, ready to be picked.
Without hesitation, Yun Lintian revolved his profound energy and sent it out to pick one of the Divine Thunder Fruits down. Holding the fruit in his hand, Yun Lintian could feel abundant lightning energy within it. It was plentiful to the point his hand turned numb.
Yun Lintian believed just one of this Divine Thunder Fruit could allow him to break through to the Spirit Profound Realm instantly, and it might even bring him to the peak of Spirit Profound Realm. However, he wasn't hurried, as he needed to find a way to take this tree away first. Not to mention he needed to check the ancient altar.
Yun Lintian circled around the Divine Thunder Tree for a while before taking the White Dragon Spear out. He activated Eyes of Heaven to see the roots and exerted his strength to dig the ground beneath the tree.

Ding Yang noticed Yun Lintian's movement and was taken aback. He never thought Yun Lintian would be this greedy, but it was understandable. After all, who would want to leave such a peerless treasure behind for others? He hesitated briefly and decided to help Yun Lintian.
"Do you need my help, Brother Yun?" Ding Yang said cautiously for fearing he might offend Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian glanced at Ding Yang and shook his head. "No need… Right, Brother Yang, you can take some of them. I can see that your bottle gourd has meaning for you."
Ding Yang wasn't a hypocrite and readily accepted Yun Lintian's generosity. "I won't be polite then."
Although Ding Yang felt pain for losing his mother's memento, he thought it was worth it. He believed he, Zhang Yuhuang, and Yun Lintian were the first group to enter this place after thousands of years. This achievement alone was valuable than any saint-rank artifact.
Ding Yang skillfully harvested a small portion of magical plants, and he intended to share some of them with Zhang Yuhuang later.
If it wasn't because the Land of Beyond Heaven could multiply these magical plants, Yun Lintian wouldn't be this generous. He also had another intention of giving Ding Yang this. When all of them went out later, Ding Yang and Zhang Yuhuang would become his shield. All the attention would go to them while he was slipping away.
An hour later, Yun Lintian successfully dug out the Divine Thunder Tree and stored it away under Ding Yang and Zhang Yuhuang's astonished gaze. At first, they thought Yun Lintian's storage ring wasn't enough to contain the tree, but now, it did not seem to be the case. They wondered what kind of storage ring Yun Lintian had.
Yun Lintian wiped the sweat out of his forehead and turned his gaze to the ancient altar in the distance. When he arrived at this place, he could first perceive a strong connection between him and the strange golden ball on the altar. This made him believe it was the lightning element source.
Yun Lintian did not go over right away as he was thinking about how to take it away without summoning the crown.
Buzz—
All of a sudden, the six pillars around the altar shook violently, randomly shooting brilliant lightning sparks all over the place.

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
