77 The Huge Disparity of the Situation (1/2)
Chapter 1589: The Huge Disparity of the Situation
Although the herbal garden was like a paradise, Shan Ling saw that there were dark clouds everywhere beyond the herbal garden. Purple lightning flashed from the dense clouds like a massive snake. Countless black rain droplets the size of a baby's fist pattered across the ground ruthlessly, riddling it with holes.
Upon seeing this scene, Shan Ling felt an indescribable sense of comfort. It was akin to mortals being in a warm house with a lit fire pit while watching the cold rain pour outside.
At that moment, Yi Yun had no intention to bother with the black rain outside. He was in search of spiritual herbs. Ever since Yi Yun inherited the divine alchemist's heritage, he could be considered quite a master alchemist, but there was a considerable number of herbs in front of him he knew nothing of.
The Chaos Heavens' natural treasures were still very different from the Sinkhole's.
But even so, Yi Yun still understood the fundamentals of herbology. According to the herbal fragrance and the type of energy it contained, he was able to gather a vague understanding of the herbs.
His gaze was locked onto a tiny tree about half the height of a person. Although the tree was short, it had many roots. Through the tree's bark, he could faintly see veins which resembled a human's blood vessels.
Yi Yun took notice of the tiny tree because he sensed that his lifeblood was being stirred by it.
”Senior Bai, back when you first came to the Chaos Heavens, you should have gathered some knowledge of spiritual herbs. Look at this tiny tree, does it look like a divine medicine that can replenish lifeblood?”
What Yi Yun yearned for the most was to quickly allow Lin Xintong a full recovery. He also wanted to feed the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm and allow the little guy to grow faster.
”This is likely a Raven Heartblood Tree. Legend has it that Ancient Fey in their manifestations enjoy eating the fruits of this tree. The fruits replenish their lifeblood powers and give them additional strength to transcend the Heavenly Tribulations. You guessed right. This Raven Heartblood Tree can indeed help Xintong, but unfortunately, this tree has yet to bear fruit. The time it takes for the Raven Heartblood Tree to bloom is on the order of millions of years. Once it bears fruit, it would be extremely precious.”
Yi Yun knitted his brows slightly when he heard Bai Yueyin. The Herbal Garden of Confusion had already been in existence for so long, and the Raven Heartblood Tree was quite old. Even if it took a million years to bear fruit, it should have already bore fruit after tens or hundreds of millions of years.
He said, ”If its fruits do not drop when they are ripe, then the fruits might have been plucked by someone else.”
Bai Yueyin did not say a word. In fact, she shared the same thoughts.
Someone had entered the herbal garden in the past million years!
Although the Herbal Garden of Confusion looked extremely terrifying to Shan Ling and company, the Chaos Heavens had experts lurking all over. Even with Yi Yun's energy vision and his skill in laws, he did not dare claim that his ability at cracking arrays was better than those Godly Monarchs who focused on studying array formations.
”Yi Yun, there's no need to feel wistful about it. It's impossible for every opportunity in this world to belong to you alone. Besides, even if someone had swept through the herbal garden in the past million years, what has been produced since then would still be quite useful to you.”
”I understand. The opportunities provided by the Chaos Heavens are definitely not limited to a mere herbal garden.”
Yi Yun took out the God Advent Tower and opened the internal space.
Not only did he pluck the spirit flowers and fruits, but he also transplanted several of the herbs that could be transplanted into the God Advent Tower. The Raven Heartblood Tree was naturally not spared.
As for those worldly spiritual plants that had very stringent requirements for environment to the point that they would wither after being transplanted, Yi Yun did not touch them. It was difficult to produce such worldly treasures, so he had no plans on cutting off the spirit roots of such divine treasures.
…
”Hu! Hu! Hu!”
The violent winds howled as, in a corner of the God Confusion Valley, a group of Soul warriors were holding up a barrier to withstand the black rain that pelted at them like meteors.
Every drop of black rain would produce fine cracks in their barrier as though it would shatter their barrier to pieces.
”Our luck sure sucks to have encountered this storm the moment we entered the God Confusion Valley.”
Leading the Soul warriors was a middle-aged man dressed in a white Taiji robe. He was bald, but his two foot-long brows drooped down. He held a refined ore in each hand as he absorbed their energy while mending the barrier. For the past two hours, he had pretty much been the one propping up the barrier as the storm raged on.
”It's all thanks to Elder Whitebrows. We have been a burden on him,” said an ashamed Soul junior. They depended greatly on Whitebrows for he had already condensed two Soul Seals and was just short of the Godly Monarch realm.
In fact, the Soul race had made adequate preparations for this expedition to the God Confusion Valley. Godly Monarchs would lead the team while Elder Whitebrows would provide support as a Telluric Master.
But they never expected to encounter the Celestial's bronze giant shortly after entering the God Confusion Valley. The Celestial had attacked without any warning!
Before even finding the rumored divine treasure, the Celestial had already taken action!
