Chapter 1093: Chapter 540: Sea of Bitterness! (Part 2)

"Hm?"

Cyan Ink Jade raised an eyebrow, "What?"

Unlike with him, there wasn’t the same attitude as before.

The Tree-man Race comprises many clans, and for something as ordinary as Cyan Abyss Forest, he was obviously uninterested.

"Young Clan Leader, this is my son, Qingsui, top-grade Yuan seedling!"

Saying that, he pulled Chen Xuan over.

It made Chen Xuan want to slap him dead on the spot.

Damn it!

Really so annoying!

If Cyan Ink Jade could go in, that would be enough!

"Greetings, Young Clan Leader!"

After Cyan Abyss Forest gave countless hints, Chen Xuan grudgingly shouted again.

"Top-grade Yuan seedling, is it?"

"Not bad!"

"To catch the Young Clan Leader’s eye is good enough. My son greatly admires the Young Clan Leader and hasn’t had the chance to meet him, but today we finally do. It’s an honor for us."

"If the Young Clan Leader finds him satisfactory, I hope my son can serve you well in the future!"

Saying that, he looked at Cyan Ink Jade full of hope but did not dare to stare openly.

"We’ll talk about it when the time comes."

After speaking, Cyan Ink Jade proceeded to walk inside.

Although the top-grade Yuan seedling was not bad, the gap was still huge. Observing Chen Xuan’s Yuan seedling, it was barely top-grade, and this level he disdained.

He had grown during this period; otherwise, he wouldn’t speak so tactfully.

Watching Cyan Ink Jade’s figure disappear, Cyan Abyss Forest looked very disappointed.

"Oh!"

With a sigh, even top-grade was not good enough; there was no chance.

"Cultivate hard, there is still opportunity."

A burly man beside him offered some encouraging words, naturally also feeling delighted inside.

"Thank you, sir!"

Even though he knew it was mere pleasantries, Cyan Abyss Forest still expressed thanks, then nodded at Chen Xuan, "Go inside!"

"Mm!"

Chen Xuan responded indifferently before walking inside.

...

The long corridor had walls formed by vines on both sides, with dense foliage reaching four to five meters tall.

Chen Xuan stood there, in darkness.

Only a faint light trickled down from above.

"Feels quite oppressive!"

He muttered to himself before moving forward.

"Oh!"

After walking a short distance, Chen Xuan let out a light exclamation.

He sensed something different.

Though very weak, each breath made him feel refreshed.

"It should be the aura emitted by the Primordial Spirit Wood!"

Chen Xuan speculated in his mind.

If even the aura is like this, the effect must be extraordinary.

Suddenly, Chen Xuan felt excited.

This trip to the Tree-man Race was truly worthwhile.

The only trouble is Cyan Ink Jade; though he had no concerns about power, he was still a purebred of the Tree-man Race, and even if talent was inferior, he himself was fake.

Who knows if he could obtain that piece of bark!

"Take it step by step!"

If it comes to that, taking risks wouldn’t be impossible.

Swapping games, he was very skilled at it.

This time, it’s just a bit tricky.

But not impossible!

After walking for more than half an hour, a bright scene suddenly appeared ahead.

"Finally reached the end."

The pitch-black scene, along with the high walls formed by vines on both sides, made Chen Xuan very uneasy inside.

He quickened his pace.

At the moment he stepped out of the corridor, a faint spatial fluctuation appeared.

Compressed space!

Having grasped forty percent of the Rule of Space, this was something he couldn’t miss.

In an instant!

The scene before him changed.

A vast lake.

At the center of the lake, a towering giant tree stood, piercing the clouds.

As for where he was now, it was like a cliff edge, with the lake below, tens of thousands of meters from the giant tree.

"Why is there no one?"

Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows.

Cyan Ink Jade had entered before him.

But... where did the people go?

"And why is there a lake here?"

Moreover, he felt something off.

This lake gave him a strong sense of danger.

Taking a step forward, but instantly an invisible force directly hindered him.

And no matter how much force he exerted, he could not proceed further.

"What’s going on?"

Chen Xuan furrowed his brows tightly; this was entirely different from what Cyan Abyss Forest had told him.

Previously, entering the ancestral tree core did not have this vast lake, nor this invisible resistance; one could directly proceed to the giant tree.

Why is it different this time?

"Could it be due to its early opening?"

Chen Xuan speculated in his heart.

"Since I’m here, might as well go with the flow!"

It’s unlikely that only he is in this situation; Qingsui, a small figure, doesn’t have this qualification.

As Chen Xuan waited quietly, one by one, the young talents of the Tree-man Race entered the ancestral tree, traversed the same vine corridor, and ended up alone facing the vast lake, unable to make any headway.

And there was confusion on their faces.

Which was different from what their clans had informed them.

Except one!

Cyan Ink Jade, calmly, although his gaze never left the giant tree at the center of the lake.

Atop the ancestral tree!

Besides Qingzhou, there were four peak of Eighth Layer of the Tree-man Race; they were the strongest five of the Tree-man Race.

"Elder Qingzhou, everyone has entered the ancestral tree core!"

At this moment, a young man walked in, kneeling on one knee, and reported softly.

"Mm!"

Qingzhou nodded slightly and then waved his hand, "You may leave!"

"Yes!"

The young man immediately rose and departed.

Then Qingzhou looked at the others, "We can begin!"

"Mm!"
