As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1040
Chapter 1040 Ancient Giant Wood
“Rumble …”
The entire valley suddenly began to tremble. Beneath the pool of water, it was as if something was about to rush out, causing one’s heart to tremble.
“Let’s go.”
Xiao Chen grabbed onto Leng Baihu’s shoulder and gently leaped backwards. At this moment, the rest of them had already left the pond far away.
At this moment, everyone stared fixedly at the surging pond. Xiao Meng’er did not know what was beneath. She also held her breath and focused on observing. Xiao Ling’er stood beside her and whispered, “What a powerful Spiritual Energy …”
Finally, the pond water gushed out, and the island in the middle seemed to be supported by something as it continued to rise.
The water in the cold pond also flowed out and quickly flowed into the valley. With a loud “rumble”, even the calm immortal birds and beasts in the valley were shocked and fled in all directions.
“That’s …”
At this moment, everyone held their breath. The island in the middle of the pond seemed to have been pushed up by something. It had already left the pond and continued to rise into the air. In the end, it was unable to withstand the Spiritual Energy surging from all directions. “Rumble!” The island shattered into pieces and fell down.
“Watch out … get out of the way!”
Many people dodged outside to avoid being hit by this island. At this time, everyone finally saw clearly that the tree that emerged from the bottom of the pond was actually an ancient tree!
“Then … what exactly is that …”
Everyone was stunned. They looked incredulously at the ancient giant tree that had grown out of the pond. The giant tree hadn’t stopped yet, and it was still growing. It was getting bigger and taller. In the end, the entire pond broke apart. Even the Immortal Valley began to tremble violently.
The Spiritual Energy in the surroundings began to surge crazily. It was already extremely suffocating, but that ancient giant tree still didn’t stop, and it continued to grow into the sky …
What was unexpected was that not only was the pond cracked by the ancient giant tree, even the Immortal Valley was being cracked. At this moment, the ancient giant tree was still growing, and its top was already towering into the clouds. It was impossible to see it anymore. It was hard to imagine how big the entire tree was.
“Hurry up and get out … and go outside!”
Many cultivators panicked. They could already feel the ground beneath their feet constantly rumbling. It was likely that the entire Immortal Valley would be erected by the towering divine tree in a short while. Moreover, the Spiritual Energy around the tree was surging so violently. With a slightly lower cultivation level, wouldn’t it be courting death to approach it?
“Could this be the legendary Worry-free Tree?”
Some people with lower cultivation had already begun to flee. There were still some people with higher cultivation and courage who hadn’t left this place yet. They stared blankly at the endlessly growing tree in front of them and thought of the legendary Worry-free Tree. Could this be the legendary Worry-free Tree?
“The Wood of Carefree is the Tree of Longevity. Seeking the Tree of Carefree means longevity. I found it. I finally found it. Immortal! Immortal!”
Some xiuzhe looked at the towering tree in front of them and suddenly revealed an infatuated smile. Their eyes gradually became lax, as if they were suddenly possessed by a devil. In the end, they all pounced towards the tree.
However, Spiritual Energy surged in all directions around the tree. Anyone who approached it would be annihilated in an instant. As expected, these people had just rushed forward and hadn’t even approached when they were directly turned into a bloody mist by Spiritual Energy’s surge. Not even their primordial spirits were able to escape.
“This …”
Many cultivators outside were frightened by this scene, and they didn’t dare to approach any further. They all fled outside.
“Rumble …”
The tremors became more and more intense. The ancient giant tree was still growing rapidly. The surrounding mountain peaks had already begun to collapse. Countless cracks had already opened in the entire valley. It was only a few breaths before it collapsed.
“Let’s go!”
Xiao Chen didn’t hesitate. He grabbed onto Leng Baihu’s shoulder with his left hand. He kicked his feet and flew out of the valley.
On the other side, Xiao Meng’er also took Xiao Ling’er out of the valley. As for the distance, Chen Ruyu excitedly looked at the growing divine tree. Her brother, Chen Yufeng, grabbed her by the shoulder and took her out of the valley.
Right after everyone retreated outside the valley, the Immortal Valley was finally unable to withstand the crazy growth of the divine tree and collapsed with a loud explosion. The ancient giant tree finally stopped growing, and the berserk Spiritual Energy in the surroundings gradually stabilized.
“This …”
Looking at this scene in front of them, everyone couldn’t believe it. At this moment, they finally realized how insignificant the heavens and the earth were.
No one knew exactly how tall this ancient tree was, and how big it was. It had already torn apart such a large immortal valley. The surrounding mountains were originally at the same level as the sky and towering, but beneath this giant tree, it was like a child playing under a tree.
“Chu Zhinan has the Underworld Spirit. Five hundred years old is spring, five hundred years old is autumn. In ancient times, there were great piles, eight thousand years old is spring, eight thousand years old is autumn …”
Xiao Chen looked at the tree that reached into the nine clouds from afar. He suddenly remembered that Master had once said that the Great Toon Wood grew in ancient times. It was 32,000 years old, and a year for humans. However, compared to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, wasn’t it also sad?
“Da Chun …”
Leng Baihu stood beside him with a dull expression on his face. He stared blankly at the tree in front of him and said, “Brother Chen, this tree in front of him is actually the legendary Heavenspan Divine Tree, Da Chun …”
Xiao Chen did not answer. He did not know whether this towering tree in front of him was the legendary Divine Wood Great Toon. He only vaguely remembered that Master had once said that the body of the Fuxi Zither was made from one of the Great Toons of the Primeval Era. There were also two zither strings that were formed by the ancient divine dragon Ying Long and the ancient evil dragon Qiong Tian.
After an unknown amount of time, the Spiritual Energy nearby finally stabilized. Some courageous cultivators had already gone to the tree and felt the extraordinary Spiritual Energy coming out of the divine tree.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes today, who would have dared to believe what was happening in front of him?
As for all of this, Xiao Meng’er’s face had always been very calm, as if there was no wind on the surface of a lake, and there had never been any ripples.
It wasn’t surprising. Back in Acheron Valley, she and Xiao Chen had seen such an unimaginable existence as the Underground Fiendgods. How could they be shocked by an ancient giant tree now?
However, she knew that everything in front of her was definitely not simple. At this moment, she took a few steps forward and came to Xiao Chen’s side. She glanced at him, then looked at the huge tree that was tall and untopped, and said, “Brother Xiao, are you interested in exploring this tree?”
