After not seeing each other for a while, the chaotic world underwent earth-shaking changes, and Long Chen could barely recognize him.
It turned out that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tree, which had been left at the edge of the chaotic space, had somehow slipped into the black soil of the core area.
The mountains of corpses piled up on the black soil had also disappeared, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tree had grown from over three feet tall to more than three zhang.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tree radiated light all over, completely transparent, as if made of glazed glass. The divine light from the multicolored leaves on its crown fell to the ground, transforming into a milky white halo. The originally black soil was dyed white.
Black Earth possesses endless death power, but the arrival of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree forcibly carves out a white land in the Black Earth world.
The black earth space stretching for millions of miles formed two colors: one black and one white. Looking up from above, Long Chen was surprised to find that a Taiji pattern had actually formed here.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tree and the Heavenly Dao Tree faced each other across the sky. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tree radiated a sacred radiance, while the Heavenly Dao Tree carried the dark power of death. Their powers were at odds, as if the two forces were secretly competing.
Compared to the Heavenly Dao Tree, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tree is noticeably smaller in size, but it can still occupy half of the Black Earth World.
"Whew."
Long Chen's soul had just arrived in front of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tree when suddenly two figures flew out from beneath it. It was Lei Ling'er and Huo Ling'er, the little dragons incarnated.
"Brother Long Chen, we really like this tree. From now on, it will be our home." Lei Ling'er shouted excitedly.
"Being with it, I feel like I'm growing every moment, but I can't say exactly where I'm growing. Anyway, we really like it." Huo Ling'er was also excited, chattering away.
Long Chen was moved. The Seven-Treasure Glazed Tree, also known as the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree, Wisdom Tree, or Bodhi Tree, was a species from the Chaos Era and a mythological sacred tree. It was said that a powerful being imprinted its soul as a companion divine artifact, sharing its lifespan and cherishing it as if it were a living being.
However, even in legend, there is little information about the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tree. Its fame is immense, but no one can say for sure what power it actually possesses.
When Long Chen's soul reached the front of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tree, countless divine lights descended from the tree. Long Chen's body trembled, bathed in the seven-colored divine light. It was as if he was undergoing a spiritual cleansing, a kind of power flowing within him.
In that instant, Long Chen felt completely at ease. The power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tree was not very strong, but it was continuous and unbreakable. At the same time, the tree seemed to emit a strange fluctuation, and the shadow of the tree was quickly imprinted in Long Chen's mind.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, Long Chen's soul withdrew from the chaotic space, but alongside him, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree also came out.
"Boss... Xia
Chen and Guo Ran were right beside Long Chen, studying the runes on the blueprint. Suddenly, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree appeared, startling the two of them.
When they recognized it as the small tree the Tea God Dao ancestor had given Long Chen, they were even more astonished. How had it grown so big in the blink of an eye?
When the Seven-Treasure Glazed Tile Tree appeared, the seven-colored divine light descended, enveloping the three together. Guo Ran and Xia Chen instantly felt completely at ease, and divine power began to baptize their bodies.
"Buzz"—
countless runes lit up on Guo Ran's right arm, and at the same time, points of light appeared inside his body—these were the runes Xia Chen had previously injected into him.
"I understand!"
Xia Chen and Guo Ran shouted at the same time. The moment the divine light shone upon them, their minds were enlightened, and countless truths were instantly enlightened.
The blueprint they had just studied was the runes on Guo Ran's arm. They had been studying it for a long time but had never made a name for themselves. However, both of them grew stronger with each setback, relentlessly researching.
At that moment, the difficulties that had held them back suddenly became much simpler. Things they didn't understand suddenly became clear, several puzzles were solved, and several runes were deciphered at once.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tree vanished, returning to the chaotic space. Everything felt like an illusion.
Guo Ran and Xia Chen's expressions changed. They hurriedly wrote down the paper, leaving many notes on the paper, fearing it was all an illusion.
But they soon realized this wasn't an illusion, but a real one. They stared at Long Chen in disbelief. The moment the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree appeared, it was as if their thoughts were surging like a spring, and now they were knocked back to their original form.
"Boss, did you get a treasure this time?" Don't be so stingy, summon it! Let's continue deciphering the runes on the Supreme Bone. Guo Ran said excitedly.
In that instant just now, it was almost equivalent to a month's effort—this guy tasted the rewards in an instant.
Long Chen finally understood that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree was actually the Wisdom Tree, reputed to be a microcosm of the Heavenly Dao. Using the tree as a mirror, it could reflect all laws and paths.
Previously, Long Chen hadn't felt much; he only felt the divine light of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree baptizing him, elevating his spirit and feeling very comfortable. At that moment, he could fully relax and enter an ethereal state.
But somehow, he summoned the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree and showed little reaction, while these two reacted as if stepping on a cat's tail.
"Boss, don't just stand there! Hurry and summon it! Let's borrow some light!" Guo Ran urged.
"Borrow my ass, it won't come out. What can I do?" Long Chen said irritably.
Only now did Long Chen realize that at some point, his soul imprint had appeared on the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree, just like a weapon.
However, no matter how he tried to communicate with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tree, it wouldn't move. Its soul could enter the chaotic space, and the tree would still nourish it with divine light, but it could no longer summon it.
"Is it because your strength isn't enough?"
Long Chen thought, seeing that there were still many stored corpses, he dumped them all out at once. He discovered that once these corpses entered the black soil, they were devoured within a few breaths and then transformed into boundless vitality flowing into the chaotic space.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tree began to absorb the life energy and continued to grow. Suddenly, Long Chen looked toward the Heavenly Dao Tree in the black soil, patted its trunk, and sighed:
"You've worked hard. You've given so much, and now someone else is still taking over your territory."
The Heavenly Dao Tree essentially nourished the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree through its own efforts, yet the tree occupied its territory, which was somewhat unfair to the Heavenly Dao Tree.
However, the Heavenly Dao Tree stood firm and silent, like a completely unintelligent creature, acting only on instinct.
When Long Chen poured out all the corpses, the black earth took only one hour to devour everything. It seemed that the arrival of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree had also strengthened its power.
"Buzz!"
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tree was summoned by Long Chen once again. Guo Ran and Xia Chen shouted excitedly, took out the blueprint, and began writing with great speed.
