Xu Nian became increasingly curious about the so-called Great Formation.

However, Liu Yu on the side looked utterly disdainful.

A guy who hasn’t even reached Divine-level wants to break into the Great Formation and compete with him for the Wood Origin Heart? Isn’t this courting death?

But if this guy wants to court death himself, it saves him the trouble of doing it.

So Xu Nian and the two others arrived at the deepest part of the canyon.

In the deepest part of this canyon, there stood an unbelievably gigantic ancient tree.

This ancient tree had a diameter of almost three thousand meters, its roots penetrating the entire mountain range, even spreading throughout the entire Asura forest.

However, the height of this ancient tree wasn’t very high, only about a hundred zhang, and the leaves on it were sparse.

Only a smattering of green leaves were left.

In other words, this ancient tree, which had lived for an unknown number of years, was already at the end of its oil.

Yet Xu Nian still sensed an incredibly terrifying aura emanating from it.

"This tree is incredibly powerful!" Xu Nian couldn’t help but say.

"Yes, it’s an ancient tree that has lived for billions of years, known as the Asura Demon Tree, existing long before hell was shattered, and its strength at its peak even reached the level of a Daluo God," Mu Yuqing said. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Xu Nian was immediately shocked.

An ancient tree at the Luo God Level?

Asura Demon Tree?

What a domineering name.

Looking at the ancient tree before him, Xu Nian now understood where the terrifying killing intent he felt earlier came from.

That killing intent was all emanating from this ancient tree.

"But it seems like it’s almost at the end of its life?" Xu Nian asked.

"Yes, though it survived the shattering of hell, it was gravely injured. In fact, its size was tens of thousands of times larger than now, and its current strength is merely a ten-thousandth of what it once was, only at the Early Level of God," Mu Yuqing said.

Xu Nian was even more startled.

A ten-thousandth of its former strength?

And it still had Early Level of God strength?

It’s unimaginable how terrifying it must have been at its peak.

"The cultivation time for this Divine Tree is much longer than for humans. To cultivate to this state, one can’t imagine how many years it has experienced," Xu Nian couldn’t help but sigh.

"Yes, for plants to cultivate, the time needed is even longer than Demon Beasts, and humans take the shortest time. Human’s cultivation speed is faster than even the Divine Clan," Mu Yuqing said.

"Human cultivation speed is faster than the Divine Clan?" Xu Nian was somewhat disbelieving.

Isn’t the Divine Clan incredibly powerful?

How could human cultivation speed be faster than the Divine Clan?

"The cultivation speed of humans is intrinsically the fastest. The Divine Clan is powerful because they’re much stronger than humans at birth, and their lifespan is longer, but in terms of cultivation speed, humans are indeed more terrifying. Otherwise, the Divine World wouldn’t have half its territory taken over by the ascended Divines so quickly," Mu Yuqing said.

"You seem to know a lot about the Divine Clan?" Xu Nian curiously asked Mu Yuqing.

From Mu Yuqing’s tone, it seemed she was more on the side of the Divine Clan.

"Yes, in my previous life I was a member of the Divine Clan, but due to some accident, I left the Divine Clan and was forced into the Mortal World... I even personally planted a Divine Tree," Mu Yuqing said.

"Divine Clan? Went to the Mortal World? Even personally planted a Divine Tree?" Xu Nian suddenly thought of something.

Something he almost forgot from his past.

When he was in the Mortal World, he and the Bull Demon King once retrieved a Goddess sealed by the Glazed Jade Divine Stone from a relic.

Could it be that the Goddess brought back by the Bull Demon King was Mu Yuqing?

There can’t be such a coincidence in the world, right?

"You said you later went to the Mortal World, how did you die? With your strength, no one in the Mortal World could kill you, right?" Xu Nian asked.

"People in the Mortal World indeed don’t have the ability to kill me, but there are hidden supreme experts in the Mortal World. I once encountered an incredibly powerful Divine Emperor, which led to my physical body being sealed, and my soul reincarnated," Mu Yuqing said.

Hearing this, Xu Nian was even more astonished.

Sealed?

The Mortal World harbors a Divine Emperor-level entity?

How is this possible?

Are there Divine Emperor-level experts in Tianhen Continent?

This entirely exceeded Xu Nian’s understanding.

However, through these words, Xu Nian was almost certain that the Goddess brought out by the Bull Demon King was Mu Yuqing.

And the reason he felt Mu Yuqing was familiar was probably due to that Goddess.

Mu Yuqing feeling familiar with him was likely because he had always been carrying her original body.

"The Divine Tree you personally planted was the Seven-colored Bodhi Tree, right? The Glazed Jade Divine Stone was the one sealing you, am I correct?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.

"Huh?" This time it was Mu Yuqing who was shocked.

She looked incredulously at Xu Nian.

"How do you know about these?" Mu Yuqing asked in astonishment.

"Because the Seven-colored Bodhi Tree and the sealing Glazed Jade Divine Stone are both with me," Xu Nian said.

Mu Yuqing felt as if thunder had struck her.

She couldn’t believe that the young man before her had been carrying her original body and the Divine Tree she personally planted all along?

Xu Nian didn’t explain, he waved his arm and summoned the Goddess placed in the Chaos Divine Palace.

Mu Yuqing, upon seeing the Goddess, was completely stunned.

Yes, that was her previous life’s original body.

The familiar face, though different from her current life, Mu Yuqing knew clearly this was her original form.

She never imagined there could be such a connection with Xu Nian?

Could this be destiny?

Xu Nian also felt it was the hand of fate!

How could there be such coincidences in the world?

"Thank you for preserving my original body. With it, I finally have hope for a complete breakthrough to the God King Realm," Mu Yuqing said excitedly.

She originally thought of going to the Mortal World in the future to find her previous life.

She didn’t expect her previous life to appear right before her now.

"No need to thank me, keeping your original body isn’t of much use to me, the Glazed Jade Divine Stone can only be opened by a Divine Emperor-level expert," Xu Nian said.

"Yes, the Glazed Jade Divine Stone indeed can only be broken by a Divine Emperor-level expert or a Supreme Divine Artifact," Mu Yuqing nodded.

"Well, since the body is yours, I’ll return it to you," Xu Nian said.

"No, I still hope you can continue to safeguard my original body for me, and when you go to the Divine World in the future, I hope you can find a Divine Emperor to help break the Glazed Jade Divine Stone," Mu Yuqing refused.

Hearing this, Xu Nian was a bit surprised, but after a moment of hesitation, he nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, now I finally understand why I’ve always felt a sense of familiarity with you," Mu Yuqing said with a smile.

Her smile was particularly bright.

Xu Nian also felt uplifted.

On the side, Liu Yu looked utterly disdainful, seemingly contemptuous of the conversation between Xu Nian and Mu Yuqing.

"Soon, you’ll both die here!" Liu Yu’s eyes flashed with a subtle gleam of malice!
