The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 482, Danquan

Inside the Immortal Divine Tree space, Hua Changxi was completely unaware of the commotion caused by the closing of the old courtyard gate. At this moment, all her attention was occupied by the towering green tree in front of her.

With each breath, a rich, almost liquefied, and powerful vitality surged forth. With each exhale, it was as if thousands of tiny emerald light points penetrated through the pores, seeping into the limbs and bones like sweet rain, gently cleansing every inch of flesh and bone.

If in the space of the Fusang Divine Tree, all the cells in one's body were ignited domineeringly, boiling and burning like oil being cooked in a raging fire; then now, under the shroud of the Immortal Divine Tree, every cell is like a seed that has drunk its fill of spring rain, no longer restless, but full of gentle vitality and vigorous power ready to be unleashed.

At this moment, Hua Changxi felt as if her body had undergone a transformative baptism, radiating a crystal-clear, jade-like luster from the inside out, and she felt so light that she seemed to be ascending to immortality.

At the same time, the space within the Immortal Tree was filled with an indescribable pressure, not the suffocating kind, but a kind of awe stemming from the origin of life.

This was the second sacred tree space that Hua Changxi had entered. She had already seen and experienced the wonder and magnificence of the sacred tree space, so the initial shock and comfort did not linger for long, and her mind quickly returned to clarity.

"Where is the River of Souls?"

The main purpose of entering the Undying Divine Tree space was to obtain the Soul River water. After returning to his senses, Hua Changxi immediately began searching for the Soul River.

She looked up, trying to glimpse the canopy of trees that obscured the sky, but her gaze vanished like a mud ox sinking into the sea, disappearing into the endless depths of green, with no end in sight.

With her view blocked by layers of dense foliage, she had no choice but to try to fly upwards.

At first, the flight was smooth, but once it passed the thick trunk and entered the vast expanse of branches and leaves, an invisible pressure came crashing down on it.

The higher you go, the greater the resistance.

Hua Changxi gritted his teeth and struggled to penetrate the first layer of leaves, which resembled overlapping ridges.

The moment the leaf barrier broke through, the view suddenly opened up—at the top of the sky, a long river flowing with brilliant white light stretched across the horizon, like a white ribbon transformed from the Milky Way, or a shawl left behind by the gods, quietly floating above the sacred tree, radiating a pure radiance that made one's heart tremble.

River of Souls!

Hua Changxi couldn't hide her excitement. Her spiritual energy surged wildly, and she shot upwards like an arrow.

However, when she broke through the fourth layer of overlapping leaf barriers, an unprecedented heaviness pressed down on her. Hua Changxi felt somewhat powerless and could only lie on a sacred tree leaf, panting heavily—at this moment, her spiritual energy was no longer enough to resist the pressure emanating from the sacred tree.

Fortunately, the River of Souls is already within reach. Once we fly over the fifth layer of Divine Tree Leaf Barrier, we will be able to reach the River of Souls.

Hua Changxi took a moment to adjust her breathing and flew upwards again. But this time, no matter how much she activated her spiritual power, the invisible barrier was like an impregnable fortress, firmly blocking her from the fifth layer of leaf barrier.

After several unsuccessful attempts, she made a snap decision: no longer relying on spiritual power, she suddenly unleashed the energy and blood within her body!

boom!

The surging, boiling power of her blood and qi swept through her entire body, allowing her to forcefully tear open the barrier that spiritual energy could not overcome and break through the fifth layer of leaf barrier.

"Spiritual energy is blocked, but blood and qi can still flow?"

Hua Changxi stood thoughtfully on the fifth layer of leaf barrier. As her qi and blood circulated, she was surprised to find that the oppressive force that had been suffocating her had receded somewhat like the tide.

"Could passing through the leaf barrier be related to one's cultivation level?"

She was only at the Nascent Soul stage, and when she circulated her spiritual energy, it could only support her to cross four levels.

Her physical body had already been cultivated to the seventh level of Body Refinement, and she was even approaching the threshold of the eighth level. Therefore, after unleashing her blood and qi power, she was not only able to break through the fifth level, but the pressure she was under was also reduced.

With that thought in mind, Hua Changxi immediately began to verify it.

Sure enough, relying solely on her physical strength, she broke through all obstacles and rushed all the way to the seventh level of the leaf barrier!

However, when attempting to cross the eighth level, the resistance increased sharply, as if it were an insurmountable chasm.

Even when she used her "Heaven and Earth Transformation" supernatural power to transform into a giant, she was still mercilessly repelled by that vast power.

"In the end, it was still just a hair's breadth short."

Hua Changxi felt a little regretful, but understood the situation.

Her eighth level of body refinement has only just entered the first stage—opening seven chakras. There is still a long way to go before she can reach perfection, so it is understandable that she cannot shake the eighth level of the Leaf Barrier.

Although she hadn't managed to fly over the eighth leaf barrier, she wasn't too disappointed. However, during her several attempts to break through the eighth leaf barrier, she vaguely glimpsed that the scene above the eighth layer seemed different—ethereal mist swirled, auspicious energy flowed in thousands of strands, and the ethereal clouds were as solid and flat as the earth that bears all things.

Although Hua Changxi was very curious about the scene above the eighth layer of leaf barrier, she knew that her current abilities were not enough to reach it. She could only focus her mind and take out the luminous cup to start collecting the Soul River water.

"The glow-in-the-dark cup is still too small!"

However, having found a way to enter the Undying Divine Tree space, she didn't care too much, as she could always come back to retrieve it later.

Hua Changxi put away the luminous cup and looked down at the edge of the sacred tree leaf—where wisps of emerald light were gathering, the overflowing life-giving elixir.

Without delay, she quickly took out the porcelain bottle and carefully collected dozens of bottles.

Previously, the explosion of the barrier of the Artifact Saint Palace caused severe damage, and the branch obtained from the divine tree had exhausted all its vitality in order to treat the wounded.

These elixirs are the perfect elixirs to nourish the branches and revitalize them.

After carefully storing the spiritual liquid, Hua Changxi stood on the edge of a sacred tree leaf on the outermost edge of the seventh layer of leaf barrier. She first looked up, gazing at the still unreachable eighth layer of heavenly chasm above her head. After realizing that she could not yet glimpse the mysteries of the higher realms, she slowly lowered her eyes and looked down.

At this moment, the majestic and complete image of the Immortal Tree gradually became clear in her mind.

The roots, as thick as dragon pillars, pierce deep into the void, supporting the towering trunk; above the trunk, layers upon layers of leaves resemble continuous mountain ranges, piling up one after another.

The higher you go, the more the leaf barrier shrinks, until it shrinks towards the unknowable peak of the sky.

The entire sacred tree resembles a green tower reaching to heaven.

Hua Changxi did not linger too long at the top of the sacred tree. He turned around and leaped down through the layers of leaves, falling like a meteor towards the roots.

In a moment, she landed steadily on the massive, tangled tree roots.

Below that lies an endless abyss of nothingness, dark and profound, seemingly capable of devouring everything in the world.

"The divine tree reaches the highest heavens above and the deepest hell below..."

Hua Changxi stared at the bottomless black abyss beneath the tree roots, a desire to explore welling up within her.

The Fusang Divine Tree takes root in Tang Valley, connecting to the Nine Netherworlds; what kind of place does the Immortal Divine Tree connect to deep within its roots?

"Should we jump down and take a look?"

Hua Changxi stared into the abyss, his face showing deep thought.

The Pill Saint Hall is one of the four key array points that suppress the Demon Prison. According to the layout of the Weapon Saint Palace, the key array point should be located at the source where the Undying Divine Tree is rooted in the Nine Netherworlds.

The Divine Tree Space was safe, and the Nine Nether Array Eye was guarded by the Demon Suppressing Guards. Hua Changxi felt that there was no danger in jumping down, so she no longer hesitated. Her figure suddenly soared into the air, and she resolutely leaped down the tree root that was as thick as a mountain range, falling straight into the bottomless darkness.

This fall seemed to span the long river of time.

She raced through the endless darkness, where the concept of time blurred—it seemed like a moment, yet also like millennia. Until the surrounding darkness began to distort, and a dazzling light pierced through the chaos.

As the light shone brightly, the feeling of weightlessness suddenly stopped.

Hua Changxi lightly touched the ground with her toes, landing as gracefully as a feather. When she looked around, her breath caught in her throat.

There was none of the eerie and terrifying atmosphere of the Netherworld in sight.

Beneath your feet lies a tapestry of rare and precious herbs, their veins shimmering with a faint glow; all around you, a riot of flowers bloom in vibrant colors, filling the air with an intoxicatingly sweet fragrance.

Looking up, one sees a misty haze; looking down, one sees a winding, emerald-green spring.

In the center of this magnificent landscape, an ancient and vigorous stone tablet stands quietly.

On the stone tablet, two large characters stood out prominently—Danquan. (End of Chapter)
