At this moment, the tree is still growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Chu Linfeng stopped in front of the Ancestral Soil Crystal and carefully observed that there were deep gray substances floating around it, which he felt were also an Earth Element, but now they had become solid objects.

"Lin Feng, quickly put those deep gray soils into the Storage Ring. These are incredibly rare Earth Elementals, the highest grade of the earth attribute elements. I never expected them to appear in the Divine Battlefield; even in the Immortal Realm, they’re seldom seen. I’ve only read about this kind of soil in some ancient books," said Sword Spirit, feeling a bit excited. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Such a thing exists? What exactly is happening here? Doesn’t the Immortal Realm have many heaven-defying items? How can even this earth be so scarce? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?" asked Chu Linfeng.

"Idiot, Earth Elementals usually only appear under high-grade elemental molecules. No one knows how long this Ancestral Soil Crystal has been here. Now you see its color slowly shifting to deep gray. In a few thousand or tens of thousands of years, it might transform into an Ancestral Soil Crystal, which is the highest energy baryte within Earth Elements," said Sword Spirit.

Chu Linfeng felt he had struck gold, though the Ancestral Soil Crystal hadn’t transformed into an Ancestral Soil Crystal yet. But by absorbing the energy inside, he was absolutely confident he could break through to the Second Layer of Earth Transformation. Moreover, if placed within the Reincarnation Bracelet, it might turn into Ancestral Soil Crystal after decades or even centuries.

So he quickly took out the Cyan Frost Sword to slowly scoop the Earth Element around the Ancestral Soil Crystal. He discovered that even a tiny bit of Earth Element on the Cyan Frost Sword weighed ten thousand pounds, which shook him again about the terrifying nature of Earth Element.

After completely putting the Earth Element surrounding the Ancestral Soil Crystal into the Storage Ring, Chu Linfeng’s forehead was already covered with sweat, as this was indeed a strenuous task, leaving him panting continuously.

Next was the time to harvest the Ancestral Soil Crystal itself. At this point, the tree was still growing crazily, and Earth Element molecules around were diminishing. When Chu Linfeng attempted to grab the Ancestral Soil Crystal with his hand, he found it did not move an inch at all, clearly indicating how terrifyingly heavy the Ancestral Soil Crystal was.

Chu Linfeng felt a bit unwilling. He then used his Chaotic Dragon Power to inject into his arm and tried to pick it up again, but could only move it slightly.

"What exactly is going on? This Ancestral Soil Crystal is ridiculously heavy! Sister Yue’Er, do you have any solutions?" Chu Linfeng asked in frustration. This was quite upsetting that something seemingly within reach was unattainable.

"Actually, given your strength, you should be able to pick up this Ancestral Soil Crystal. That it’s not budging indicates that there’s a restriction on it, possibly placed by some expert when separating the Divine Battlefield from Canglan Ancient Land. Only by removing this restriction can you obtain the Ancestral Soil Crystal," explained Sword Spirit.

"Restriction? Damn it! Why would they put such unnecessary restrictions?" Chu Linfeng was speechless. "Brother, don’t worry. Isn’t Chu Tong here to help you remove this restriction? Actually, this is just a simple Artifact Spirit restriction, just like the one on me. Although the Ancestral Soil Crystal can’t directly form an Artifact Spirit, I believe the one who placed it hoped it could become one.

This would eternally separate the Divine Battlefield from Canglan Ancient Land, and entry would only be possible through a few limited access points. Seems like the one who set this restriction is a very powerful expert," said Chu Tong.

"Tong’er, can you do it?" Chu Linfeng was visibly surprised; Chu Tong truly was much stronger than him, despite his role as the elder brother.

Immediately, Chu Tong emerged from the Storage Ring and transformed into his original form, flying ceaselessly above the Ancestral Soil Crystal, occasionally emitting a faint yellow light. After half an incense time had passed, he stopped and flew into Chu Linfeng’s hand, saying, "Brother, it’s ready now; try it out. This really wore me out, and I need a few days to recover, so unless there’s something urgent, don’t call me."

After placing Chu Tong back into the Storage Ring, Chu Linfeng began to channel his Chaotic Dragon Power again. This time, he was able to grasp the Ancestral Soil Crystal, confirming its incredible weight, and quickly placed it into the Storage Ring.

At this moment, drastic changes occurred around the soil layers, with rumbling sounds echoing in his ears. The tree beside him also ceased growing, now having reached a diameter of several meters, completely becoming a Tree King.

A few breaths later, Chu Linfeng noticed all the surrounding soil layers had vanished, even the ones above him. Where once stood a mountain had now disappeared without a trace. Such an eerie phenomenon made him realize that the restriction between Divine Battlefield and Canglan Ancient Land was completely unlocked by him. From then on, people from Canglan Ancient Land could freely enter this area.

The most evident marker of this is the colossal Tree King that was formed in merely four days. Chu Linfeng then flew into the air, observed the surrounding environment, and found not much had changed. Perhaps this area initially had an Ancestral Soil Crystal discovered by a super strong individual, prompting such measures.

With his heart yearning to return, his figure flickered swiftly toward Canglan Ancient Land, executing several instant teleportations before reaching a town. After inquiring about the exact location, he headed swiftly toward Canglan Ancient Land.

Meanwhile, Xiao Qiang and others were heading toward the so-called cave in the Yunding Mountain Range. Coincidentally, as Chu Linfeng flew back, he passed by it, seeing the last two people entering the cave.

The two were dressed in Carefree Palace attire, but their presence here seemed incredibly odd to him. He then extended his Divine Sense inward and discovered thousands of people inside, including Xiao Qiang, several Sect Masters, Ye Suping, and Meng Ji, as well as numerous dark-clad Dark Forces individuals.

Currently, it seemed a battle had just concluded, with most of the Dark Forces suffering casualties, and they were seemingly conversing about something. Meng Ji, looking pale, wanted to say something but was stopped by Ye Suping.

Finding this very peculiar, Chu Linfeng’s figure flickered as he entered the cave. He listened carefully and found those Dark Forces individuals pleading desperately for Meng Ji to save them, and with Meng Ji’s identity as Demon Realm’s Princess unveiled to everyone present.

Throughout history, the Demon Race and Human Race have been sworn enemies. Yet Meng Ji was Chu Linfeng’s woman, leaving everyone bewildered about what to do next...
