Nine Realms Sword Emperor-Chapter 867 - 868: Above the Canopy

"This Divine Tree, is it really collecting Spiritual Power so crazily?"

Chu Fengmian had been observing for a full five minutes before he finally stopped. He initially thought that this Divine Tree should only be devouring blood essence.

But now it seems that what the Divine Tree is devouring is not just blood essence, but Spiritual Power as well.

This Divine Tree is one of the Jianmu branches, and with its vitality, it practically doesn’t need to devour any Spiritual Power at all to live forever, nearly immortal existence.

I didn’t expect that now the Divine Tree is crazily devouring Spiritual Power like this.

In the Divine Tree Domain, the Martial Artists who fell all had their blood essence collected by the Divine Tree.

None of this is ordinary.

Especially the appearance of these tree spirits, almost illusory, appearing without any warning.

Chu Fengmian was also quite puzzled as to why these tree spirits would appear. Now it seems that these tree spirits are very likely created by the Divine Tree itself.

And the Divine Tree created these tree spirits to use their power to slay Martial Artists and devour blood essence.

Most of the Martial Artists in the Divine Tree Domain fell at the hands of these tree spirits, which intensified Chu Fengmian’s suspicions.

Chu Fengmian faintly felt that all of these seemed to have some relation to the Ancient Desolate Sect.

Because the opening of the Divine Tree Secret Realm was initiated by the Ancient Desolate Sect, and now with the Divine Tree condensing tree spirits and the slaughter within the Secret Realm, Chu Fengmian feels that this might all be intentionally done by the Ancient Desolate Sect.

"Indeed, the opening of this Divine Tree Secret Realm is not usual. The Ancient Desolate Sect wouldn’t let people enter and gain benefits for no reason."

Chu Fengmian thought to himself.

This time coming to the Divine Tree Secret Realm, he didn’t expect to encounter such an unusual event.

But with the Divine Tree now frantically devouring Spiritual Power, there must be something hidden, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing for Chu Fengmian.

Anything related to the Divine Tree is certainly no small matter.

Moreover, Chu Fengmian vaguely guessed the intentions of the Ancient Desolate Sect, which must be to take complete control of the Divine Tree.

For the Ancient Desolate Sect, if they wanted to use the Divine Tree for growth, they wouldn’t need to go through all this.

Now it seems likely that the Ancient Desolate Sect feels the time is ripe, so they want to control the Divine Tree. Apart from this, nothing else could make them plan like this.

"The Divine Tree Power, if anyone can obtain it, they would be at the pinnacle of the Nine Domains. So, if the people of the Ancient Desolate Sect want to control the Divine Tree, why shouldn’t I intervene, maybe gain some benefits from it!"

Chu Fengmian thought quickly, forming a plan.

The Ancient Desolate Sect is already one of Chu Fengmian’s great enemies, so even if he can’t gain benefits this time, disrupting their plan is worth it for Chu Fengmian.

Chu Fengmian moved again, flying towards the treetop.

The treetop is the center of the Divine Tree, and the Jeweled Dew Sacred Fruit grows among the treetop because of this.

As long as he reaches the treetop, Chu Fengmian can observe once more to uncover the reasons for the changes in the Divine Tree and the Ancient Desolate Sect’s plans.

On his way, Chu Fengmian encountered many Martial Artists, but as long as they did not provoke him, Chu Fengmian ignored them all.

With Chu Fengmian’s wealth, these life-and-death stage Martial Artists, or even wealth of some ancestors, are not worth his attention; he doesn’t bother with large-scale slaughter.

His target remains the Divine Tree and the Jeweled Dew Sacred Fruit.

The Jeweled Dew Sacred Fruit is what Chu Fengmian sought in the Divine Tree Secret Realm.

However, some Martial Artists, ignorant of the heavens and the earth, saw Chu Fengmian alone and sought to attack him.

For these people, Chu Fengmian has not a shred of mercy and easily defeats them all.

Chu Fengmian’s current power is nearly that of resisting Emperors directly, and if he employs the Sword Emperor’s Hall, those at the Heavenly Fate realm cannot kill him.

Thus, all along the way, Chu Fengmian faced no significant danger.

The treetop grew ever larger and clearer as Chu Fengmian pierced through the clouds, into the chaotic void above the clouds.

Save for the treetop of the Divine Tree, almost nothing else existed.

"Charge!"

As Chu Fengmian approached the treetop, the pressure he felt intensified, but he showed no intention of retreating.

Gathering Spiritual Power, he accelerated, charging directly upwards.

"Bang!"

The next moment, Chu Fengmian’s body arrived at the treetop.

"Huh? There are actually people on this treetop?"

As Chu Fengmian reached the treetop, he felt countless presences; there seemed to be many Martial Artists there.

Looking around, he saw indeed quite a few Martial Artists, at least dozens.

These dozens are divided into different forces, uniting into a total of six groups.

"Another one has come up?"

"Oh? And alone?"

Just as Chu Fengmian reached the treetop, innumerable Spiritual Senses scanned him.

Noticing Chu Fengmian alone, these Martial Artists looked over, their gazes showing surprise.

To reach the treetop requires bearing immense pressure, and they all joined forces to get up there together.

Now, with Chu Fengmian alone ascending, he naturally drew their attention.

"The Ancient Desolate Sect, Gai Yue Valley, Medicine King Valley, Heavenly Sword Sect..."

At a glance, Chu Fengmian saw the Martial Artists of four forces came from these sects.

The other two forces weren’t from the seven major sects but were composed of talented Martial Artists from smaller sects uniting.

These six forces seemed to be at an impasse on the treetop, apparently waiting for something.

However, as Chu Fengmian’s gaze swept the treetop, he understood what they were waiting for.

At the center of the treetop, on a branch, a purple fruit the size of a fist was clearly visible.

The purple fruit was covered in intricate patterns, containing terrifying Spiritual Power.

The Jeweled Dew Sacred Fruit!

This is the Jeweled Dew Sacred Fruit, borne of Jianmu.

This Jeweled Dew Sacred Fruit’s patterns seemed incomplete, indicating it has yet to fully mature.

However, in this state, it’s not far from complete maturity.
