Chapter 483, Climbing is Difficult, Falling is Easy

After landing, Hua Changxi did not rush to explore the surrounding environment. Instead, she stood amidst the blooming flowers, looked up at the desolate, empty black sky above her, her eyes deep and thoughtful.

Previously, when flying from the roots to the sacred tree, there were many obstacles; but when falling down along the roots, it went without hindrance.

In the Divine Tree Space, going up is difficult, but falling down is easy.

Thinking of the divine tree that reaches the heavens and descends to the netherworld, could she then conclude that ascending to the heavens is difficult, while falling into the netherworld is easy?

Hua Changxi withdrew her gaze, her thoughts churning.

She had heard a lot about the Nine Netherworlds and had met many cultivators who had descended there, and she herself had descended there several times; however, she had never heard of or seen anyone who had ascended to the Nine Heavens, nor had she ever heard of anything related to the Nine Heavens.

"It seems that no matter where you go, going up is not easy, while falling is just a matter of a single thought."

After Hua Changxi sighed, she regained her composure and began to look around.

The Fusang Divine Tree is deeply planted in the Nine Netherworld Valley, where it is tempered by the extraordinary fire of heaven and earth; the Immortal Divine Tree's roots are locked in the Danquan Spring, where it nurtures rare and precious herbs.

Tanggu, where fire spirits blaze fiercely, scorching the heavens and boiling the seas; Danquan, brimming with vitality, nourishing the universe.

Standing in Danquan, a place vastly different from Tanggu, and surrounded by exotic flowers and rare herbs, Hua Changxi's face was filled with admiration for the profound heritage of this sacred land.

Whether it's Tanggu or Danquan, they're not much different from secret realms, and the quantity and quality of resources they contain are even greater and higher than most secret realms.

Hua Changxi wandered among the exotic flowers and plants, occasionally collecting rare spiritual plants and flowers. Soon, she arrived at the stone tablet inscribed with the words "Danquan".

The stone tablet stands in the center of the widest part of the emerald green spring.

Looking out, the clear spring meanders and twists, covering every inch of land within sight and extending endlessly into the unknown beyond the horizon.

Clearly, this emerald green spring is the Danquan (Elixir Spring).

Danquan is not still, but flows slowly, and the surface of the water rotates slowly in a strange rhythm, forming many tiny whirlpools.

The vortex didn't devour anything; instead, it seemed to breathe. With each contraction and expansion, specks of green dust rose from the spring, merging into the air and becoming nutrients for the surrounding rare and exotic plants. Hua Changxi chose to explore west of the stone tablet where the spiritual herbs and flowers grew most densely, slowly proceeding along the Dan Spring.

At first, she thought that the Danquan Spring was naturally formed by the spiritual energy underground. But after walking along the Danquan Spring for a while, and seeing the green spiritual rain falling from the void above her head from time to time, each drop containing a great vitality, she was surprised to find that the Danquan Spring was not born from the earth, but originated from the immortal divine tree.

It is the vital sap that gathers between the branches and leaves of the sacred tree, falling to the ground and forming a spring.

As one moves further away from the stone tablet, the surface of Danquan's water gradually narrows.

At the stone tablet, the spring surface was vast like a lake, covering an area of ​​about a thousand meters in circumference; however, after Hua Changxi explored westward for an hour, the Dan Spring had shrunk into a winding stream, no more than a few meters wide, and seemed to be drying up at any moment.

After that, Hua Changxi was unable to continue.

It wasn't that there was no road ahead, but rather that the area ahead was shrouded in gray fog, making it impossible to see anything, and even divine sense couldn't probe it.

Hua Changxi conjured a ball of flame at her fingertips and flung it into the mist. The flame was instantly swallowed by the gray mist, extinguishing without a trace.

Seeing this, Hua Changxi's eyes darkened slightly. After a moment's thought, he turned back and then explored the south, north, and east directions, using the stone tablet as the center.

Just like the area to the west of the stone tablet, the area south and north of the stone tablet is blocked by gray fog just a few meters from the surface of Danquan water.

But to the east of the stone tablet, the situation is quite different.

Hua Changxi had only walked a few miles to the east when the scene before him changed—a gray boundary stone platform stood there, its shape exactly the same as the array eye platform of the Artifact Saint Palace!

In the center of the stone platform, a dark green alchemy furnace floats silently, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

Hua Changxi's gaze lingered on the alchemy furnace for only a moment before landing on the human-shaped stone sculpture on the stone platform. Almost the instant he touched the sculpture, a solemn expression welled up in his eyes, and he felt a tightness in his chest.

She knew that those humanoid stone sculptures were actually living people who had sacrificed themselves, transforming into stone statues to guard the core of the formation, solely to seal off the demonic energy. (End of Chapter)
