Chapter 1265 The World Tree

"Ye Qing, can you sense the aura of the Kunwu Divine Tree?"

"Mm, there's a very strong wood-essence aura ahead. I feel... it's like it's guiding us there."

Ye Yuan was taken aback: "Guiding us there?"

Ye Qing nodded: "To release such terrifying wood-essence aura, that thing is too powerful, far beyond our comprehension. I think it must have noticed us long ago, and even... already knows the purpose of our trip. Because here, aside from the Kunwu Divine Tree, I can't sense any other presence."

Ye Yuan nodded, not looking surprised.

The beings in this Divine Forbidden Land were beyond their imagination.

Take the Death Soul Tree, for instance; before it, Ye Yuan couldn't even move a finger.

Ye Qing was most sensitive to wood-essence aura, so Ye Yuan had him lead the way.

Sure enough, before long, Ye Qing detected a powerful wood-essence aura.

"Big brother, I wonder if the Kunwu Divine Tree revealing itself is friend or foe?" Bai Guang said.

Ye Yuan smiled: "Friend or foe, we have to go this time."

...

Led by Ye Qing, the group soon arrived at the foot of a mountain.

Atop the peak, a giant tree reached straight into the clouds.

Its trunk, like a pillar holding up the sky, would take even a thousand people to encircle.

The dense vitality made Ye Yuan and the others, still at the foot of the mountain, feel refreshed.

"Is this the Kunwu Divine Tree? What a terrifying existence!" Bai Guang exclaimed.

"Legend has it that the Kunwu Divine Tree is the source of wood-essence aura in the Divine Realm, can be called the World Tree, and is part of the Heavenly Dao. I created the formula for the Inverse Dao Pill based only on a faint intuition. But now, I'm certain: I am completing the Heavenly Dao, recreating the Divine Dao within my body!" Ye Yuan's eyes shone with sharp light, his confidence boundless.

Ye Yuan's words left everyone in awe.

Especially Shi Potian, who had experienced the Divine Dao era and could better grasp the ethereal nature of the Heavenly Dao than Dao Profound Realm martial artists.

Yet Ye Yuan intended to recreate the Heavenly Dao within his body!

Such a thought was too arrogant! Too crazy! Too unbelievable!

But upon reflection, they couldn't help but admire the genius of Ye Yuan's idea!

Following the beaten path of cultivation, no one could break the rules of the Heavenly Dao.

This had been proven by over a hundred thousand years.

Even someone as strong as Fang Tian couldn't break this shackle.

But using alchemy to simulate the Heavenly Dao and recreate the Divine Dao within a martial artist's body—this was indeed a stroke of genius.

"Haha, well said—recreating the Divine Dao! Worthy of being the successor of Immortal Forest Venerable, such an incredible idea is truly breathtaking!"

The sudden voice startled everyone.

Suddenly, Ye Yuan and the others felt their vision blur, and their bodies involuntarily vanished from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already on the mountaintop, at the foot of the giant tree.

A young man was smiling at them, his gaze quite amused.

Ye Yuan frowned and tentatively asked, "Could you be... the Kunwu Divine Tree?"

The young man looked Ye Yuan over, seemingly very interested in him.

Hearing Ye Yuan's question, the young man smiled: "You're quite good! Worthy of being the successor of that old ghost Immortal Forest! Your idea sounds crazy, but when you think about it, it's the most likely way to break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao!"

Ye Yuan's eyes lit up: "Senior also thinks this method is feasible?"

"Of course! The Heavenly Dao has collapsed, the Divine Dao has withered; no method can stop the decay of the Heavenly Dao. But the spiritual herbs that experienced the Divine Dao era still contain a part of the Heavenly Dao. They cannot resist the decay on their own, but if integrated, they might construct a self-contained Heavenly Dao within a martial artist's body, thus breaking the shackles! I must say, this idea is truly brilliant!" the young man exclaimed.

Hearing this, Ye Yuan was inexplicably excited.

With a deeper understanding of the Divine Realm, Ye Yuan had more confidence in the feasibility of the Inverse Dao Pill.

Since the Heavenly Dao was lost, then he would recreate a Heavenly Dao!

A Heavenly Dao of his own, existing only within his body!

This line of thought became increasingly clear.

This idea seemed very crazy, but for Ye Yuan, it was not impossible!

The Heavenly Dao Ye Yuan needed to construct was not a complete one.

He only needed to construct a Heavenly Dao at the initial stage of the Cave Profound Divine Realm, allowing him to smoothly break through to the Divine Dao realm!

In his previous life, this idea was still very vague, but with his high comprehension of alchemy, he faintly sensed such an existence.

There were more than nine types of million-year spiritual herbs, but the nine Ye Yuan selected were in accordance with the Heavenly Dao.

These nine herbs were chosen after repeated verification by Ye Yuan.

It sounded somewhat ethereal, but based on his understanding of alchemy, Ye Yuan felt that combining these herbs could achieve an unexpected effect.

In this life, Ye Yuan's understanding of the Heavenly Dao deepened, and with a more profound grasp of the "Medicine Soul Divine Canon," his thinking became clearer.

He was also more confident about how to refine the pill.

That was why he wanted to enter the Godfall Mountain Range to find the last spiritual herb, the Kunwu Flower.

"Then, Senior, does that mean... the Inverse Dao Pill can really help me break through to the Divine realm?" Ye Yuan couldn't help asking.

The young man smiled: "Hehe, I didn't say that! Whether you can break through depends on your own fortune. Even if Immortal Forest old ghost came in person, he wouldn't dare say it's a hundred percent certain. I can only say, it's possible!"

Ye Yuan trembled; the young man's words undoubtedly boosted his confidence.

The being before him was one who stood above the Divine Dao.

For him to say 'possible' was already extremely rare.

Over these hundred thousand years, countless people had tried to break through to the Divine realm, but all failed without exception.

"In that case, forgive my impertinence, but could Senior grant me a Kunwu Flower?" Ye Yuan cupped his hands.

The young man was taken aback, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Interesting! Very interesting! Kid, your nerve... is really not small!"

Ye Yuan smiled: "It's not that I'm bold, Senior, but that I'm at my wit's end! The Kunwu Flower may be very important to you, but to me, and to the Divine Realm, it's even more important! Since Senior was willing to appear, I assume you don't want the Divine Realm to completely fall, do you?"

From the Kunwu Divine Tree's attitude, Ye Yuan judged that at least it bore him no ill will.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have said so much.

"Hey, you kid, you're really something. No wonder Immortal Forest old ghost chose you."

As the young man spoke, he turned his palm upward, and a pink flower appeared in his hand.
