Qin Feng stared expressionlessly at the guardian within the sealing array, who had ceased struggling. A cold smile appeared on his lips as he mocked, "Without the World Tree's assistance, you probably would never have been able to escape from this sealing array, would you?"
However, the guardian remained unusually calm in the face of Qin Feng's sarcasm. He replied unhurriedly, "It doesn't matter where I am, so why should I come out?"
Seeing this, Qin Feng simply chuckled softly and said nothing more.
With a flash, he sped forward like a shooting star and disappeared into the distance in an instant.
As for going out to call Qinglan and Lingzhi, Qin Feng hadn't even considered it.
In his mind, neither of these women was trustworthy.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to quickly find a secluded and deserted place to cultivate in seclusion and absorb the Primordial Purple Qi in order to improve his own strength.
Although Qin Feng's strength is already quite formidable, he knows that he still needs to continuously improve his strength to ensure that he is absolutely safe in the face of the powerful beings from all the myriad worlds who are about to descend.
Moreover, the presence of the mysterious and unpredictable Primordial Dao Ancestor, whose appearance was uncertain, made him even more cautious.
As for exploring other opportunities within the World Tree space, Qin Feng has not yet included it in his plans.
After all, apart from the Primordial Purple Qi, other so-called opportunities were of very limited help to him.
Qin Feng quickly found a secluded cave. He sat cross-legged deep inside the cave and immediately began to circulate the Five Elements Divine Technique to absorb and refine the Primordial Purple Qi.
The Primordial Purple Qi was exceptionally pure, and every strand that entered his body subtly enhanced his strength.
...
On the other side, Qinglan moved through the mist, easily resolving the problem of the constantly emerging spirits.
Her movements were swift and decisive, each strike precisely hitting the vital points of the spirits, causing them to vanish instantly.
After dealing with all the spirits, Qinglan finally found the entrance to the World Tree.
However, instead of searching for Qin Feng and Ling Zhi, she stepped into the World Tree's space without hesitation.
Upon entering the World Tree space, Qinglan sensed a powerful aura.
She looked around warily and, sure enough, spotted a guardian standing not far away, staring at her with cold eyes.
Qinglan did not back down and immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the guardian.
The two sides traded blows, neither willing to give an inch, making it difficult to determine a winner.
After a fierce battle, Qinglan finally came up with the idea of sealing the guardian in the same way as Qin Feng.
Meanwhile, Lingzhi was still searching for an entrance.
She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally found the entrance that Qin Feng had entered earlier.
Lingzhi was overjoyed and was about to step inside when suddenly she sensed about twenty exceptionally powerful auras rushing toward her.
Her expression changed slightly, and an ominous premonition welled up in her heart.
She instinctively turned around and saw a group of people led by Ling Fengzi and Ling Xuan appear in her field of vision like ghosts.
When Lingzhi recognized the newcomers as Lingxuan and his group, her delicate, willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she were struggling to make a decision.
She gently bit her cherry-like lips, which were originally pink but now turned slightly pale from the force, revealing her inner turmoil and struggle.
Although everyone was a member of the Spirit Clan, Ling Zhi knew very well that if she chose to travel with Ling Xuan and his group, she would likely miss out on any opportunities that might arise.
However, another option also put Lingzhi in a difficult position.
If she were to enter the World Tree space now, her actions would undoubtedly be seen as those of a traitor by Lingxuan and the others.
Lingzhi stood there, hesitant and undecided, as if pulled by an invisible force, making it impossible for her to make a decision easily.
While Lingzhi was still hesitating, Lingxuan and his group had already arrived in front of her.
Lingxuan's eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, as if searching for something.
Then, his brows furrowed tightly, his gaze fixed intently on Ling Zhi, and he asked with a hint of dissatisfaction and accusation, "Where are Ling Ke and the other two?"
Lingzhi sighed inwardly, knowing that her hesitation had caused her to miss the best opportunity to make a decision.
Now that things have come to this, she has no choice but to accept this reality.
“They have all perished!” Lingzhi’s voice was slightly low, revealing a faint sadness.
"What?" Lingxuan was clearly not expected to receive such an answer. His body trembled violently, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
A moment later, he came to his senses, his face instantly turning extremely gloomy. His eyes, like those of a hawk, stared straight at Ling Zhi as he pressed, "Who did this?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Lingzhi answered, "Killed by the celestial puppets in the temple!"
Upon hearing Lingzhi's answer, Lingxuan frowned slightly, but he did not doubt Lingzhi's words in the slightest.
Lingxuan remained silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought, before suddenly asking, "Did you open the Primordial Chaos Realm?"
Lingzhi shook her head without hesitation and replied, "No! It's Qin Feng!"
Then, Lingzhi continued, "Now that Qin Feng has broken through to the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm, his strength has greatly increased. I am no match for him at all, so I dare not compete with him for the fragment of the Primordial Origin Realm map!"
As soon as Lingzhi finished speaking, Lingxuan's face instantly turned gloomy. His eyes were fixed on Lingzhi, as if he wanted to see through her eyes to her innermost thoughts.
After a while, Lingxuan slowly asked, "Did that human boy really break through to the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm?"
There was a hint of disbelief in his voice.
Lingzhi nodded slightly. "Really!"
Lingxuan took a deep breath, his face so dark it seemed like it could drip water. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Damn it! That wretched human brat has actually broken through to the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm. Getting rid of him in the future will probably be extremely difficult!"
Just then, Ling Fengzi, who was standing to the side, suddenly interjected and asked, "Is that human kid really that powerful?"
Upon hearing this, Lingxuan hurriedly turned around and replied with a solemn expression, "Reporting to the Holy King, that boy is no ordinary person!"
"He not only possesses a rare Five Elements Spiritual Body, but his strength is also extremely formidable!"
He paused briefly, then continued, "Back when he was just the Primordial Saint Emperor, he was already able to compete with experts at the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm."
"Now that he has successfully stepped into the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm, his strength will probably reach a new level, making him even more difficult to deal with."
