"World Tree?"
The Buddha looked surprised and asked, "What World Tree?"
Judging from his expression, he doesn't know.
"It's nothing. If you don't know, then forget it."
Chen Xuan shook his head.
He did not linger at the Great Compassion Temple, as he originally intended to go to Nangong City, the largest city in the Southern Barbarian lands.
However, out of curiosity about the World Tree, Chen Xuan plans to make a trip to the Eastern Wilderness first.
As the second largest city in the Southern Barbarian Lands, Wan Yao City has a teleportation portal that leads directly to Donghuang Huangcheng.
Although Chen Xuan could use the laws of space and time to directly cross space to the Eastern Wilderness, the speed was not as fast as using a teleportation portal.
This is because such a teleportation array that spans large areas was personally crafted by a powerful god-emperor who understood the laws of space and time.
Of course, the cost of traveling directly from Wan Yao City to the Eastern Wilderness is extremely high, even exorbitant.
To activate it once, a full 10 billion divine resources are required!
Many poorer quasi-god emperors, even with all their assets combined, only amount to this much.
However, Chen Xuan didn't care, since he had several mineral veins in his inner world.
And it's not a small vein, but a large one, hundreds of thousands of miles long. You can easily extract hundreds of billions of divine essences from just a small section.
Fifteen minutes later.
In the Eastern Wilderness, above the desolate city, beneath the vast sky, a palace floats eternally!
"Brother Chen, why are you here to see me again so soon?"
Inside the main hall, the Eastern Emperor looked at Chen Xuan with a smile.
Since parting ways with Chen Xuan in the underworld, the Eastern Emperor felt that he didn't know when he would see Chen Xuan again.
Perhaps, he has already become a God-Emperor, or even a Great God-Emperor.
Unexpectedly, just a few days later, Chen Xuan came to see him again.
He also knew that Chen Xuan would never visit him without a reason, so he must have encountered something.
"Brother Dongfang, I have some questions I'd like to ask you."
Chen Xuan first took a sip of the fine tea that the servant brought him. One sip and it was refreshing and left a lingering fragrance in his mouth.
If a powerful expert in the Divine Realm were to drink this tea, it would directly increase their cultivation by ten thousand years.
If you drink this tea every day, even a pig can cultivate to the level of a god-king.
Because this place itself is like a miraculous elixir that absorbs the essence of heaven and earth.
Drinking it every day is like taking drugs every day!
"Is there something you need to ask me? What is it?"
The Eastern Emperor asked with a smile.
"I'd like to ask you about Lei Zun."
Chen Xuan never liked beating around the bush, so he went straight to the point and asked.
"Thunder Lord?"
The Eastern Emperor suddenly stopped smiling, and his expression became serious.
"Brother Chen, why are you interested in Lei Zun?"
As he spoke, he suddenly put his hand to his forehead and couldn't help but shake his head, saying:
"Look at my memory. Because you use the laws of reincarnation, yin and yang, and time and space so much, I've forgotten that you know the laws of lightning."
"I don't know much about Lei Zun, because he was the supreme being of the mythological era."
"However, as a supreme being who controls the power of lightning, his strength is naturally beyond doubt."
"In the final battle that brought the mythological era to a close, Lei Zun single-handedly withstood the attacks of at least three Supreme Beings, transforming himself into an endless thunder domain, and even nearly taking away one of the Supreme Beings."
One against three, and almost took down a Supreme Being!
This shows just how powerful Lei Zun is!
However, even with such a record, he is not the number one supreme being in the Yin-Yang realm.
Because the number one supreme being is the Dou Zun!
This shows just how strong a Dou Zun is!
"Today in the Southern Barbarian Lands, I killed two Great God Emperors, disciples of the Overlord and the Annihilator respectively..."
Chen Xuan began to slowly recount his experiences in the Southern Barbarian lands.
For example, as soon as he entered the City of Ten Thousand Demons, he was discriminated against and targeted in various ways, and then he didn't tolerate it, and a series of subsequent events followed.
After hearing this, the Eastern Emperor's face grew increasingly gloomy.
"The gods are still as despicable and shameless as ever. Since the age of mythology, they have been planting spies and trying to turn our powerful members against us."
"In the barbaric era, they even turned the evil lord against us, causing us to suffer heavy losses."
"Now, they have people hiding all over the world, secretly hunting down the geniuses of our realm."
"No wonder some very promising young people have died mysteriously!"
"Hmph, it seems I really need to contact the other emperors and carry out a purge and reorganization of their subordinates!"
The Eastern Emperor let out a heavy, cold snort.
He knew that there must be spies in his Eastern Wilderness!
"I've digressed, Brother Dongfang. The real reason I came to see you is to ask you about the World Tree."
“As I told you before, I opened the silver box belonging to Ma Sanshui, the progenitor of the demon horse clan. That box was left behind by Lei Zun, and inside was a seed of the World Tree.”
Chen Xuan took out the World Tree seed directly, waved his hand, and the seed floated and flew to the Eastern Emperor.
"World Tree? Seed?"
The Eastern Emperor's pupils suddenly dilated as he stared intently at the black, charred seed floating before him.
Chen Xuan could tell from his expression that he definitely knew.
So now, he doesn't speak, nor does he interrupt the Eastern Emperor's gaze upon this seed!
After a long while, the Eastern Emperor sighed softly: "It seems the legend is true."
Chen Xuan immediately asked, "What legend?"
The Eastern Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky at a 45-degree angle. After a moment of silence, he slowly said:
"Legend has it that in the era of the Boundary Sea before the age of mythology, all the heavens and myriad realms were connected. At that time, there was no Heavenly Abyss to separate the realms from each other."
"The real reason why all the heavens and myriad worlds can be interconnected is because there is a great tree that reaches the heavens."
"Its branches extend into the endless void, connecting to the infinite realms!"
"This tree is known as the World Tree!"
"Later, for some unknown reason, this tree was destroyed. From the moment it was destroyed, the Boundary Sea Era entered its final stage."
"Because the World Tree was destroyed, its original branches withered and died, forming an insurmountable abyss."
"Actually, Tianyuan wasn't strong at the beginning; even a God Emperor could have overcome it."
"Later, as time went by, the Heavenly Abyss grew stronger and stronger, even the Great Emperors found it difficult to overcome, and it even had a certain impact on Supreme experts!"
"Finally, everyone discovered that cultivation was becoming increasingly difficult, and the world seemed to have entered the Dharma-ending Age, with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth becoming increasingly depleted and decaying!"
