CHAPTER 285: CHAPTER 5: HEAVEN’S CALAMITY? MORTAL TRIBULATION?

Ye Zi sighed, "Young Clan Leader, you really don’t remember anything, I’m afraid you’ve also forgotten that the Sky Sun Shuttle was crafted by your own hands."

"Sky Sun Shuttle?"

"I made it!"

Yue Jinghua and Yue Chen were astounded.

It was rumored that the Sky Sun Shuttle and Earth Yin Escape were among the two great Spiritual Treasures when Fa Canglian, the King of Shang, founded the country. The Assassin Alliance also said that Fa Canglian used the resources of the Alliance to refine these two treasures. However, according to Ye Zi, the Sky Sun Shuttle was actually a Life-bound Spiritual Treasure directly refined by Yue Chen during the awakening ceremony.

"Although the Tree Demon Flower Charm Clan does not belong to the Ancient Holy Clan, for many years, it has relied on the Reincarnation Holy Wood, enjoying a peaceful life and the abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power similar to the Holy Clan. Every member of our clan is granted a Spiritual Wood Core, and with the possession of the Spiritual Wood Core, we also receive blessings from the Reincarnation Divine Wood. My Lifebound attribute is wood; wood embodies nature."

The Reincarnation Holy Wood of the Senming Realm is an Ancient Divine Wood, rumored to have been planted by the Creator God Himself, its canopy covering the skies and stretching for tens of thousands of miles.

Whenever a clan member is awakened, according to their different spiritual attributes, the Reincarnation Divine Wood will descend various attribute spirit cores. However, when Yue Chen underwent the awakening ceremony, a rare "Time-Space Core" that appears only once every ten thousand years descended from the Reincarnation Divine Wood.

As for the Spiritual Wood Core mentioned by Ye Zi, Yue Jinghua roughly understood it too.

The Spiritual Wood Core is like the Dark Power cultivated by Dark Practitioners, which is divided into five attributes: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Different woods have different cores, and their natures will also vary.

For instance, Yue Jinghua has seen a Fire Attribute Spiritual Wood of the Fire Rose variety, whose blooming flowers can rival a small bomb. However, Yue Jinghua has never heard of

However, she has never heard of a spirit wood core with space-time attribute.

Seeing Yue Jinghua’s bewildered face, Ye Zi couldn’t help but feel smug, "Ignorant, you’ve never even heard of space-time attribute. It is an attribute that only the Holy Beasts of the Moon Plane have, and the Time-Space attribute’s Spiritual Wood Core or Dark Pill are very rare in the Lower Plane. Spiritual Beasts or Spiritual Woods of the time-space attribute naturally possess the ability to break spatial taboos and traverse planes. It is for this reason that time-space attributed Spiritual Wood or Dark Beasts have the greatest potential to advance to Holy-grade or even Divine Rank."

"A blessing in disguise is where danger lies, and a danger in disguise is where a blessing lies. Since the Time-Space Core has such great benefits, the dangers behind it must also be significant," Yue Jinghua didn’t show too much joy, but instead furrowed her brows. On Dragon Road, it had long been a common practice among Dark Practitioners to plunder and slay Dark Beasts and spirit wood for more powerful Dark Power. It seemed likely that the Senming Realm was no exception.

After hearing her words, a trace of helplessness flashed in Ye Zi’s beautiful eyes: "Indeed, as you said, because the Time-Space attribute Spiritual Wood Core is very rare and contains immense energy, the fact that the Young Clan Leader possesses a Time-Space Core has always been a secret within our clan. During that awakening ceremony, the Young Clan Leader, while absorbing the Time-Space Core, also obtained a Space-time Fruit. Afterwards, he used the Space-time Fruit to craft the Sky Sun Shuttle."

At that time, Ye Zi was but a child, and she witnessed the scene when the beautiful youth like jade plucked the Space-time Fruit under the bright divine light of the Holy Wood.

Seemingly triggered by Ye Zi’s words, Yue Chen murmured, "The Space-time Fruit, and then I used the core of the Space-time Fruit to refine the Sky Sun Shuttle. It was the Sky Sun Shuttle that carried me and my mother, fleeing from..."

Suddenly, Yue Chen’s little face turned pale, his body shaking uncontrollably like a sieve, and in his large eyes that shone like glass beads, a scene appeared that seemed both strange and familiar.

Heavenly Fire fell from the sky in countless numbers, a raging battle with Thunder Fire Balls, and individuals clad in white robes descended from the heavens, while numerous Dark Beasts and Rock Demon Clan members surged forward like a tide.

"They burned down the Tree Demon Flower Charm Clan’s temple, planted toxic Demon Grass everywhere, and in the great battle, my Spiritual Wood Core was almost fatally damaged. To save me, my mother sacrificed all her Spiritual Power to request a drop of Reincarnation Dew under the Reincarnation Divine Wood. I was reborn as an infant, but in the final moments, my mother used the Sky Sun Shuttle to send me out of the Senming Realm, while she died together with our clanspeople in the Senming Realm," Yue Chen’s words came out hollow and powerless, as if he was recounting someone else’s story.

"Young Clan Leader, you’ve remembered," Ye Zi said with excitement, tears brimming in her eyes, "After you left, the Reincarnation Divine Wood was sealed by those foreigners. I and the last surviving members of our clan have been searching through dimension gaps, using Earth Yin Escape to find traces of you."

"So, my father stumbled upon you as an infant brought over by the Sky Sun Shuttle and then adopted you?" Yue Jinghua pondered briefly, then thought of something else, "Do you remember who exactly destroyed the Senming Realm?"

"Most of the attackers on the Senming Realm were from the Rock Demon Clan, but the real main force were those white-robed foreigners. They not only slaughtered a large number of my clanspeople and seized many Spiritual Wood Cores, but they also tried to transplant the Reincarnation Divine Wood. Unfortunately, since the Reincarnation Divine Wood’s roots extend for thousands of miles deep into the Senming Realm, they couldn’t move it but could only temporarily seal it. However, the last time I was in the Shang Palace, I encountered a man, the purple-eyed man who exchanged hands with you. The aura on him is very similar to the foreigners who invaded my clan back then." Recalling Yue Jinghua’s close encounter with the purple-eyed man, Yue Chen’s delicate nose wrinkled.

Could this affair be related to the Divine Court? But if there were no Plane-traversing treasures like the Earth Yin Escape and the Sky Sun Shuttle, how did the Divine Court break through the plane’s taboo? Yue Jinghua remained silent, but her thoughts raced.

She had witnessed the cultivation of the man with purple eyes, that is Zong Shaoqing, who could even subdue Dark Demon Xuan Beast Snake Woman Gole; his strength is far beyond what Yue Chen is capable of matching today.

For now, the best course of action was to keep this incident concealed, allowing Yue Chen to focus on his cultivation and wait until his Spiritual Power was restored before making any plans.

"You mentioned earlier that your Spiritual Wood Core was damaged, what exactly happened?" For spirit wood or a Dark Beast, damage to the Spiritual Wood Core is akin to a Dark Practitioner’s Dantian being injured, which would greatly reduce cultivation and strength.

"I was cursed with a Sealing Spirit Curse," said Yue Chen as he touched the red birthmark-like mark on his forehead.

Yue Jinghua had always thought that the mole on his forehead was an ordinary one, never realizing it was actually a seal.

"What are you doing?" Ye Zi saw Yue Jinghua reaching out to touch Yue Chen’s forehead and said disapprovingly, this woman always likes to handle the Young Clan Leader, showing no modesty befitting of a woman.

"If you don’t want him to be trapped and unable to return to the Senming Realm for the rest of his life, then just keep your mouth shut and don’t talk too much," Yue Jinghua’s fingertip touched the mark on Yue Chen’s forehead, and suddenly, a strange light flashed through both of their eyes.
