Chapter 618: Chapter 620 Holy Medicine, Heaven Supporting Sacred Tree!

“What is the matter?”

Could it be something only a man could do and not a woman?

This tree being at the top of Li Mountain indicated that its relationship with Li Mountain’s Saint Mother was not ordinary!

And with such a connection, she could have sought the help of many others, yet she chose him.

*Things might not be as simple as they seem!*

The silhouette of the woman within the tree then spoke.

“Go to a place and obtain something called the Primordial Life Tree!”

The Primordial Life Tree?

Yang Yan had never heard of it, nor had he seen it in the Divine Dao Heavenly Book.

He was about to ask, but before he could inquire further,

an Immortal Bird flew from afar, and she quickly provided an explanation.

“The Primordial Life Tree is a Holy Medicine that grows in the deepest part of the celestial forest in the heavens.

The area is vast, with towering trees.

Demon beasts abound, and ordinary people cannot venture in.”

Lots of demon beasts?

Yang Yan was not afraid!

However, there were many who were unafraid of demon beasts—why could only men enter?

Seeing Yang Yan’s confusion, the Immortal Bird perched on a translucent branch and spoke again.

“If it were merely demon beasts, the Saint Mother or her underlings could have obtained the Holy Medicine from the Primordial Life Tree!

Yet, this Holy Medicine is extremely mystical, and its seed is named Yang Yuanzi!

If women touch it, even lightly,

they’ll get pregnant and bear children!

So only men can go without harm,” she explained.

With that explanation, Yang Yan understood.

“Oh? If only men can go, aren’t there many cultivators who could do it?

With my mother-in-law’s influence and cultivation, she could easily send someone with advanced cultivation to accomplish it.

Why seek me?”

Since they wanted his help, he certainly needed to get everything clarified!

“The Saint Mother had indeed sent male cultivators before, but those men were fated to be short-lived, unable to even see the Primordial Life Tree.

Aside from the seed’s mystical nature, this is the second wonder of the Primordial Life Tree!

Those not exceptionally talented or favored by destiny cannot see its true form!

Of course!

It has a third wonder, which concerns those who touch its seeds.

In a short time, their Yang Qi will surge into their brains!

One must have a profound Heart Realm to suppress it!

If they cannot suppress it, they will deplete their Primordial Yang and die!” the Immortal Bird said.

Yang Yan understood.

“Deplete the Primordial Yang? It might have a fourth wonder!

It can create illusions, causing turmoil in one’s Heart Realm!

Leading to the inability to control oneself, depleting the Primordial Yang!”

The silhouette of the woman within the tree nodded.

“Indeed, but its wonders are not limited to just these four.

These are the four wonders we know of; it likely has more wonders that we have not yet discovered.

If you agree to go, you need to be extremely cautious!” she reminded.

Yang Yan pondered for a moment.

“Are all Holy Medicines this miraculous?”

The gaze of the woman’s silhouette within the tree was profound.

“Yes, for I am a Holy Medicine, and I know all about them!”

It was a Holy Medicine too?

“What kind of Holy Medicine are you? Can you be eaten?” Yang Yan inquired.

If it could be eaten, he would like to take a bite to see if it could help him quickly break through his cultivation!

“I am the Heaven Supporting Sacred Tree, and my body is extremely poisonous, unsuitable for raw consumption!

But my branches and flowers can be used in conjunction with Qiansheng Grass to make medicine, allowing the user to comprehend the Saint Path and know past and present lives!

And every five hundred years, I can bear seven Heavenly Saint Fruits. Consuming one can ignore all karma and fate, extend life by ten years, and break through one Realm!” the woman’s silhouette within the tree responded.

Knowing she was a Holy Medicine, Yang Yan wanted to take a bite!

It did not seem to bother her!

She understood that anyone knowing she was a Holy Medicine would want to eat her!

*Human nature, she had seen it often!*

Moreover, she quite liked Yang Yan, and if she could be consumed directly, she would let him take a bite!

Unfortunately, she couldn’t be consumed raw!

Poisons prevented direct consumption, leaving Yang Yan a bit disappointed.

The Heavenly Saint Fruit?

“Is Qiansheng Grass also a Holy Medicine? Are there any Heavenly Saint Fruits left?”

“Yes, Qiansheng Grass is also a Holy Medicine, though it has not appeared in many years.

Legend says it grows within the Netherworld beneath the Naihe Bridge!

As for the Heavenly Saint Fruit, I have some!

If you can accomplish this task for me, I can give you one Heavenly Saint Fruit!” the woman’s silhouette within the tree stated without hesitation.

One Heavenly Saint Fruit…

A bit stingy!

But considering that only seven Heavenly Saint Fruits could be produced every five hundred years, it was acceptable!

“Alright, I agree to it. Where is the celestial forest?” Yang Yan pondered for a moment and agreed.

The silhouette of the woman within the tree pointed upwards.

“It’s on the first heaven, in the deepest mist. Once you reach the heavens, you’ll find it!”

The heavens?

“If I obtain the Primordial Life Tree, won’t I have to bring it back down?” Yang Yan asked, puzzled.

*A bit troublesome!*

*Without reaching the Saint Realm, descending to the Human World at will would be very difficult!*

“No need, I have another avatar in the first heaven. Just find it!

Its location is also at Li Mountain!”

An avatar?

“Is your form now not the real body?” Yang Yan asked, looking at the transparent tree in the Heavenly Pond with curiosity.

The woman’s silhouette inside the tree shook her head gently.

“Yes and no. This is a tree born from one of my branches, and within it is my avatar’s illusion!”

So, that was how it was!

“Alright, I understand!”

He intended to complete this task after his Ascension!

“By the way, every few years, my mother-in-law gathers the Central Continent’s formidable ones for a celestial banquet. What is it for?” Yang Yan wondered aloud.

“It’s to win them over so they don’t oppose Li Mountain!

And when Li Mountain needs protection, they are there to guard it,” the Immortal Bird responded.

No wonder Li Mountain was filled with Tree Demons, yet remained unscathed within the Central Continent.

Yang Yan bore an expression of understanding.

“My mother-in-law’s cultivation is profound, and she has many treasures!

She rarely stays at Li Mountain, so giving some Spirit Grass and Spirit Fruit to them for Li Mountain’s safety is reasonable.”

As he said this, both the Immortal Bird and the tree’s silhouette showed unusual expressions.

“One last question, is my mother-in-law a human or a tree?” Yang Yan softly asked.

This matter intrigued him greatly!

The Immortal Bird and the woman’s silhouette exchanged glances.

“In regards to the Saint Mother’s matters, you should ask the Saint Mother herself. We cannot say!”

“Fine.”

The mermaid had by then dressed him in his clothes.

“I’ll be off then!” Yang Yan waved his hand and said.

He took the mermaid and headed down Li Mountain.

This time, there were no obstacles.

As he moved, the trees made way for him.

The Tree Demons inside whispered while secretly observing him.

At the top of Li Mountain, the Immortal Bird and the woman’s silhouette watched his departing figure, struggling to maintain their composure.

“If he were to learn that the Saint Mother’s approach to winning over people at the celestial banquet isn’t through Spirit Fruit or Spiritual Medicine,

but by offering a small bowl of water from the Heavenly Pond, I wonder what he would think…” the Immortal Bird murmured.

The woman’s silhouette within the tree coughed lightly.

“He would probably be quite pleased, considering that water from the Heavenly Pond is absorbed by my tree roots, distilled from the earth’s contained powers.

It’s extremely pure!

But, of course!

A side-note: he bathed in it today…

Alright, let’s not mention it anymore!

How did the Saint Mother’s response go?”

“The Saint Mother’s avatar is preparing to go to the first heaven; she wants to meet this exceptionally talented son-in-law!”

Yang Yan had no idea that in the future, when Li Mountain’s Saint Mother invited the Central Continent’s strong to a celestial banquet,

they would be drinking his bathwater!

At this moment, he had returned to the foot of Li Mountain, and Bai He rushed forward.

“My Lord, you’ve returned!”

“I have returned,” Yang Yan said calmly. “Where are they?”

“Nearby, I’ll call them over!” Bai He disappeared before Yang Yan.

Soon, he brought along Chen Daoheng, Murong, and Qian Rong!

“Brother Yang!”

“Young Master Yang!”

“Master!” They all bowed respectfully upon approach.

“Mm.” Yang Yan walked toward the sedan they were carrying.

Li Minglian and Li Mingxin immediately drew back the curtains.

Yang Yan entered the sedan chair and lay down inside.

“Brother Yang, where to next?” Murong Yinqin asked with interest.

“To the Primordial Sacred Dynasty, to await the start of the Heaven Ascending Qualification Battle!”

“Yes!”
