“Unless you’re unfortunate and die prematurely, we won’t change host. After all, I don’t think there’s anyone better than you,” the Chaos Divine Earth said.

Duan Ling Tian finally realized the three Divine Elements were willing to co-exist in his body because of his 99 Heavenly Veins. He was a perfect host for any of the Five Divine Elements.

Duan Ling Tian inhaled deeply, trying to digest the information that the Chaos Divine Earth revealed to him. Although it was not much, it was overwhelming.

The Realms of Gods.

Apex powerhouses.

The Four Supreme Laws.

After sorting out his thoughts, Duan Ling Tian asked the Chaos Divine Earth, “The Profound Divine Metal mentioned that the Divine Tree of Life is beneficial to all of you as well, right?”

“Yes. Not only did the Divine Tree of Life grant you powerful regenerative abilities, but it’s the same for us as well. If we encounter our corresponding element, it won’t be a problem for us to go against it one-on-one since the Divine Tree of Life grants us unlimited vitality. In other words, if another third-form Chaos Divine Earth wants to devour me when the Profound Divine Metal and the Chaos Divine Flame are in a deep slumber, I’ll be to easily absorb it since the vitality from the Divine Tree of Life would heal me if I’m injured.”

With this, Duan Ling Tian realized how powerful the Divine Tree of Life was. It could even quickly heal the Five Divine Elements!

“Boy, the branch of the Divine Tree of Life has changed your body constitution. Try cultivating now,” the Chaos Divine Earth said with a laugh.

Duan Ling Tian immediately closed his eyes and circulated his Qi one time with the King Grade Celestial Method, the Tai Yi Profound Method.

‘Hm? I’ve broken through the limit?’ At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy at an alarming rate. It was even faster than when he used the Divine Crystal. Soon, he discovered the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy did not directly enter his Heavenly Veins. Instead, it entered the main branch of the Divine Tree of Life and his heart before finally entering his Heavenly Veins. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was free of impurities, thus, his speed when circulating his Qi increased in folds.

‘It feels like my cultivation speed is ten times faster than when I used the Divine Crystal!’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes gleamed brightly. His heart was thumping wildly in his chest. He did not expect the Divine Tree of Life would increase his cultivation speed to such an extent!

“How’s it?” the Chaos Divine Earth asked. “Now you know how great the benefit is after the Divine Tree of Life acknowledges you!”

“This is amazing! I used to cultivate with the Divine Crystal, but my cultivation speed then isn’t even 10% of my current speed!” Duan Ling Tian was pleasantly surprised.

“There’s no need to be surprised. Although the Divine Crystals are rare in the Devata Realms, in the Realms of Gods, they aren’t rare even if they’re valuable. Like I said earlier, there’s only one Divine Tree of Life in each Realm of Gods. This is also one of the rules of heaven and earth. This means there are only 18 Divine Trees of Life in the entire heaven and earth, and you managed to obtain a branch from one of the trees. Such a fortuitous encounter is rare even among those in the Realms of Gods. You must know even an apex powerhouse is incapable of destroying the Divine Tree of Life. Perhaps, the only time it might be damaged is when the Realms of Gods collide. Branches that break off during the collision would then fall into the turbulent space before ending up in a Devata Realm. With this, you can imagine how rare it is to be able to come across the branches from the Divine Trees of Life. Alas, there are fools who would give away the branch due to their ignorance just like the Celestial King who found your branch from the Divine Tree of Life. You truly benefited greatly from his ignorance!”

With this, Duan Ling Tian learned the origin of the branch from the Divine Tree of Life in his body.

“Are there many branches that break off from the Divine Tree of Life during the collision between the Realms of Gods?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“It’s hard to say. Some Divine Trees of Life might lose a dozen branches if they’re seriously damaged. Otherwise, the trees might just lose a few branches. However, if the Divine Trees of Life manage to heal in a timely manner, they might not lose any branch at all. That’s why I said those who manage to obtain a branch from the Divine Tree of Life are incredibly lucky,” the Chaos Divine Earth said.

“Is it possible for the branch of the Divine Tree of Life in my body to be forcibly taken away?” Duan Ling Tian asked, slightly worried. After learning about the benefits of the Divine Tree of Life, he, naturally, wanted to keep the branch in his body.

“Don’t worry. First of all, the branch of the Divine Tree of Life will only acknowledge someone with 99 Heavenly Veins as its master. Secondly, although ordinary people won’t be able to make the Divine Tree of Life acknowledge them as its master, they are still capable of comprehending the law of life from the branch even if it’s extremely difficult. After all, without the acknowledgment from the branch of the Divine Tree of Life, one wouldn’t be able to feel the vitality in the branch and comprehend it. The branches from the Divine Tree of Life that haven’t acknowledged their masters could be taken away, but people wouldn’t be able to take away branches that have acknowledged their masters. If the master of a branch from the Divine Tree of Life dies, a void would open up and pull the branch into a turbulent space. Moreover, those who are able to sense you possess a branch from the Divine Tree of Life will be able to tell that it has acknowledged you as its master. Hence, they wouldn’t kill you just to obtain the branch.”

Duan Ling Tian heaved a huge sigh of relief upon hearing the Chaos Divine Flame’s words. Then, he suddenly raised his hand. The necklace with a pendant that held the Divine Crystal appeared in his palm. Huan’er had left it to him before she left. ‘The Divine Crystal…’

‘Now that I have the branch from the Divine Tree of Life, I no longer need the Divine Crystal… Huan’er, where are you now?’ Whenever Duan Ling Tian looked at the Divine Crystal, he would inevitably think of Huan’er. He could not help but feel emotional now that the branch from the Divine Tree of the Life had completely replaced the Divine Crystal’s function.

…

The Southern Heaven Ancient Realm was regarded as a holy land in the Southern Heaven Territory. There were many entrances to the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm in the grade-six Celestial Mansions. The grade-six Celestial Mansions were generally in charge of the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. They would delegate the authority to open the entrance to the lower realm to the grade-seven forces under them.

The Profound Nether Mansion, grade-six Celestial Mansion, had five grade-seven factions under them. They were the Three Sects and Two Clans. As the name suggested, they consisted of three sects and two clans.

In the Profound Nether Mansion, the entrance to the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm was located above a lake called the Scaling Cloud Lake. The Scaling Cloud Lake was a huge pristine lake that was shrouded by a dense fog all year round.

Recently, people from different places had begun to gather above the Scaling Cloud Lake since the entrance to the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm would be opening in three days.

At this moment, a group of people was fast approaching the Scaling Cloud Lake in the air.

“This is the Scaling Cloud Lake.”

Upon hearing these words, the eyes of a purple-clad young man among the group of people lit up. “The Scaling Cloud Lake? So, this is where the entrance to the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm is located?”
