Mu Hanyan pondered carefully. Energy, spiritual power, and divine consciousness are the cornerstones of all practitioners in the Holy Continent. If one wants to break through the limits, transcend the laws, and even shatter the void, these three are indispensable.
The subtle changes in his energy, spiritual power and divine consciousness may very likely help him to reach the ultimate path that countless practitioners have exhausted their entire lives but still cannot reach, and become a strong man like those legendary gods.
Mu Hanyan didn't even know whether she should thank Zhao Xinghong and his family. If they hadn't been so shameless and despicable as to force her into the Black Wood Prison, she wouldn't have had such an adventure.
"Let's go." Of course, whether or not one can become as powerful as those legendary gods is a matter for the future. Mu Hanyan knows that she still has a long way to go and it is not the time to be complacent, so she quickly suppressed the joy in her heart and said to Gao Weihu and the others.
Following the guidance of the Heavenly Secret Mirror, they had to cross the abyssal rift behind them. The Divine Continent also had a divine art similar to the Aerial Technique, but it could only be used properly by those who had attained the level of a Divine Soul Priest. With Mu Hanyan and the others' current abilities, they could barely use the Aerial Technique for a brief leap, but flying across this abyssal rift was clearly impossible. So, they circled for over a hundred miles before reaching the end of the abyssal rift, and then, following the guidance of the Heavenly Secret Mirror, they sped forward.
Along the way, one would occasionally see a towering tree rising from the ground, but they were all withered and dead, devoid of any sign of life. Their branches and trunks were a deep black, as if cast from pig iron. This was clearly where the name Blackwood Prison came from.
It's said the name Blackwood Prison exists since ancient times, meaning these giant trees have been withering and decaying for tens of thousands of years. With such a length of time, even the most forged weapons would have rusted to dust without the seals protecting them. Yet, these giant trees still stand tall and majestic.
"What kind of tree is this?" Mu Hanyan was secretly curious. There was no record of such a giant tree in either the Holy Court Continent or the Continent of Gods.
Mu Hanyan originally suspected that it was the Ancient Tree of Life, but after a careful comparison, she found that it was also very different.
A day passed quickly. Just as Mu Hanyan had expected, the direction indicated by the Tianji Mirror kept changing. Fortunately, she thought of this in advance, otherwise she would have foolishly followed the direction indicated by Yu Ruyi and exhausted herself to death.
As her divine power gradually dried up, Mu Hanyan simply stopped and set up camp. With the arrival of Zhan Yuan and Ba Feng, the alien beasts in the Blackwood Prison had become much more hostile to humans. She didn't dare to use up all her divine power at once; she had to keep some in reserve to deal with any danger that might arise.
With Gao Weihu around, it was not Mu Hanyan's turn to do the rough work of setting up camp.
Gao Weihu took out a giant axe from his space bracelet and walked towards a huge black tree. This guy was indeed full of violence, and the weapons he carried were either giant hammers or giant axes.
Gao Weihu took a deep breath, swung his axe, and chopped down the giant tree. This tree had weathered the ravages of time, yet remained uncorrupted. It was evidently extremely strong, making it the perfect base for a tent. He was also concerned about the strange beasts and wanted to make the camp sturdy.
"Crack!" With a crisp sound, a shower of sparks flew everywhere. Gao Weihu was shocked and retreated several steps, then fell to the ground.
He looked at the giant axe in his hand, then at the giant black tree, and was stunned.
He swung the axe with all his might, but the giant tree was not hurt at all. Instead, his giant axe made of fine steel was broken into a gap the size of a walnut.
Not only Gao Weihu, but even Mu Hanyan was stunned. Although they had guessed that the black giant tree was hard, they had never imagined it to be this hard.
Mu Hanyan really couldn't imagine that there were trees in the world with such hard texture.
Mu Hanyan walked forward and studied the giant tree carefully.
Gao Weihu came to his senses and went forward to check with his axe. Unfortunately, after looking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what was going on and walked away with his axe.
In the Black Wood Prison, the two laws of heaven and earth check and balance each other. The environment is much better than in the wilderness, and the vegetation is lush. In addition to these long-withered black giant trees, there are many other tree species growing. There is no need for him to waste all his time on this.
Mu Hanyan studied it for a long time but still couldn't find the answer. Apart from its unusually hard texture, there didn't seem to be much else special about this giant tree. She used her remaining divine sense to explore it and found that even the veins and roots were the same as those of ordinary trees.
The only thing Mu Hanyan could be sure of was that this tree definitely grew out of the ground and was not made of meteorite gold.
Regardless of what kind of tree this is, let’s cut one down and take it away first. Mu Hanyan drew out the Hanxiao Sword.
Although I don't know what kind of tree this is, it is obviously not an ordinary thing. Given Miss Mu's habit of being unable to walk when she sees good things, how could she return empty-handed?
In fact, Miss Mu's habit of collecting rare things is not a bad thing. The reason she was able to set up the formation in Qianlong Valley was thanks to the meteorite gold she picked up from Beiyuan Mist Plain.
Although she still didn't know the origin of this giant tree, Mu Hanyan knew that it must be of great use just by looking at its texture that was as hard as steel. She just didn't know how to use it yet.
"Nine days, stars fall." Mu Hanyan slashed the giant tree with a sword.
Sparks flew again, but the giant tree remained intact. Mu Hanyan, however, was shocked and took several steps back. She glanced at the Frost Sky Sword in her hand. Fortunately, it hadn't been chipped like Gao Weihu's axe. This was normal. The Frost Sky Sword was a divine weapon after all. Even if Gao Weihu had forged the axe with countless hammers and added a lot of meteorite gold, it still couldn't compare to a divine weapon.
Mu Hanyan frowned. Even with the power of Nine Heavens Starfall, it was impossible to leave any trace on the giant tree. Even if she used Eight Desolations Starfall or Eight Desolations Godfall, it probably wouldn't have much effect. If she accidentally damaged the Hanxiao Sword, it would be a waste of time.
"Hahahaha, there are actually such idiots in the world who actually want to cut down the Black Prison Sacred Tree. Mu Hanyan, you are the master of a palace after all, you can't be so poor." Mu Hanyan was about to stop when she heard a sneering voice.
Yuan Xiangzhi! Mu Hanyan immediately recognized whose voice it was.
Turning his head, he saw hundreds of priests, young and old, dressed in the robes of the Temple of Light, walking quickly towards him. Leading them were Yuan Xiangzhi and Zheng Anze, the leading priest of punishment.
"Uncle Zheng, you are here too!" Although she didn't want to associate with Yuan Xiangzhi, Su Baoer was still happy and relieved to see that Zheng Anze and other priests of the Temple of Light were safe and sound.
