Chapter 183 The Golden Tree
"Chase!"
Upon seeing this, the local Venerables of the Primordial Treasure Realm immediately roared and followed suit.
But Shi An didn't follow them; instead, he pulled Shi Hao aside and slipped away.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, the two seemed to traverse endless time and space, directly surpassing everyone else, and arrived in front of the golden ancient tree.
The ancient tree reaches for the sky, towering into the clouds, its awe-inspiring presence captivating the world. Radiant light flows around it, and countless galaxies encircle it. Moreover, each leaf seems to hold a star, making it resemble a world tree.
Then, amidst the astonished gazes of those behind them and the Venerables who had entered earlier, they entered directly without encountering any obstacles.
Of course, what no one noticed was that Shi An had secretly revealed a bit of the Purple Spirit Domain's aura in a secluded spot, which allowed him to enter without hindrance.
"How did they get in so easily?!"
The two moved so quickly and smoothly that it startled and bewildered the other creatures that were blocked outside.
The tree trunk is vigorous and golden all over, like an old dragon lying in wait. Around it, on each huge golden leaf, there is a hazy star. Although it is not real, it is also nurturing the power of the world and will one day turn into a real star.
The two sped towards the mountaintop, discovering several ancient battlefields, tree trunks, branches, and other structures with skeletal remains along the way. Even the golden leaves had many bones, making it all seem very eerie.
This is clearly a sacred tree, yet it constantly displays scenes of death.
As we passed through the ancient battlefield, a golden mist swirled above, making the scene even more mysterious. Some leaves even began to form pavilions, clearly remnants of the ancients.
In addition, there are some Golden Crow stone statues, which should be remnants of the Golden Crow clan from that time.
After an unknown amount of time, the two brothers finally saw the ancient chaotic palace at the very top.
At the same time, they also discovered that there was actually a mountain at the top of the tree.
The mountain appeared and disappeared, its chaotic energy surging, yet it possessed a powerful vitality.
This is a world mountain, nurtured by the world tree.
Its entire body is dark brown, and stepping on it gives one the feeling of standing in the cosmos.
The mountain floats on the golden trees, and the nearby leaves are dotted with stars. Standing here, gazing through the starry sky, it feels vast and distant, as if you are standing at the end of the world.
Such mountains are extremely rare in the world; only those found during the creation of the world can be seen.
In a sense, this mountain is of immeasurable value. It can smash through a realm and destroy all things. It doesn't need to be refined; it is already a rough embryo of a chaotic treasure.
If one refines it with their heart's blood, inscribes it with their own Dao, and combines it with the fundamental laws of the world's mountains, then once this mountain appears, nothing can withstand its power; everything will be pulverized.
Legend has it that even a piece the size of a fingernail cut from the World Mountain would be enough to crush a real mountain, its weight unimaginable.
Looking at the World Mountain, Shi Hao intended to wake up the sleeping little tower in his hair, but to his surprise, before he could make a move, Shi An had already taken out the tombstone and was about to take it away.
"Buzz!"
The stone tablet trembled, and an invisible force surged forth, acting upon the World Mountain, attempting to absorb it.
However, the world mountain was thick and heavy, shrouded in chaotic energy, as if it had carried the weight of countless ages. Despite the stone tablet's extraordinary nature, it remained unmoved. Instead, a powerful counterforce surged forth, causing Shi An to stagger backward and forcing him to abandon his methods.
"As expected of a world-class mountain, it seems we'll have to wait until later."
Looking at the majestic mountain peaks before him, Shi An was not discouraged. Instead, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. He then turned to Shi Hao and said, "Let's go, let's go up and take a look first."
"good!"
Shi Hao nodded, and then he and Shi An rushed towards the mountain peak at top speed. It has to be said that the mountain was very magnificent, and even at their speed, they still traveled for quite a while.
Half an hour later, the two brothers finally reached the top of the mountain. At the same time, they discovered that there was a flower on the mountain, golden and bright, with a refreshing fragrance. Just one breath of it made them feel comfortable all over.
"This is a divine flower born from the ancient golden tree?!"
Looking at the golden flower, Shi Hao thought for a moment and then understood.
Beneath the flower is a branch, a branch of the golden tree, extending here, right on the summit of World Mountain, several feet above the ground, shimmering with golden light, dazzling and captivating.
Strangely enough, elsewhere, the leaves of the sun tree can support a mountain, and are enormous, but here they are noticeably smaller, and even the flowers are only the size of a millstone.
At the same time, Shi Hao also noticed that there were many dried bloodstains on the ground, as well as various broken and sharp weapons, which seemed to have been there since ancient times. They were obviously left over from the last time the divine tree was opened.
"Buzz!"
Just then, the sun flower, as big as a millstone, had its petals bloom, and then golden sap dripped down, about to roll off. There were three drops in total, but each drop was as big as a longan, shining with golden light and emitting a sweet fragrance.
This is absolutely a divine elixir; it can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded.
"call out!"
In an instant, Shi Hao made his move, summoning the World Treasure Box, and caught it the moment it dripped down.
After collecting several drops of golden liquid, Shi Hao glanced enviously at the golden flower, then turned to Shi An and asked, "Brother, can you collect that golden flower?"
Upon hearing this, Shi An did not answer immediately. Instead, he stared at the golden flower for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "It probably won't work. I couldn't even take away the World Mountain, let alone the golden flower on the mountaintop."
After saying that, Shi An seemed to have thought of something and turned to ask Shi Hao, "Why don't you let the little tower above your head come out and try it? Maybe it will work."
"Alright!"
Seeing Shi An suggest bringing Xiao Ta, Shi Hao thought for a moment and immediately nodded in agreement. He then patted Xiao Ta's hair and said, "Xiao Ta, there's something good here, do you want it?"
"Don't count on me. Although there are opportunities here, they don't include the Golden Flower and the World Mountain. These two things have extremely heavy karmic consequences and must not be touched."
As soon as Shi Hao finished speaking, Xiao Ta's voice followed, but his tone was somewhat helpless, as if he were reminiscing.
"Not even you?"
Hearing that even the little tower was unwilling to touch it, Shi Hao was startled. A different emotion flickered in his eyes as he looked at the golden flower. This golden flower was so powerful, even the little tower wouldn't touch it...?
"In that case, let's collect some liquid gold here and then head to the next place!"
Seeing that Xiaota was unwilling to help, Shi An decided to collect some more gold liquid and then head to the next opportunity.
And so, the two brothers sat cross-legged in front of the golden flower, waiting for the golden liquid to appear.
Of course, they weren't just waiting idly. When there was no Golden Liquid, Shi An would take out the Earth Fire Liquid that he had secretly collected and refine it together with Shi Hao.
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed, and Shi An and his group had collected quite a bit of liquid gold, roughly estimated to be no less than a jug.
During this process, the two also refined a lot of Earth Fire Liquid, consuming all the Earth Fire Liquid they had collected before. Shi Hao also successfully replenished his Supreme Bone.
