Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The toad could not change Jun Wuxie's will and had no choice but to lead the way.

Although the journey was long, with his and Mu Ciyin's cultivation levels, carrying the toad to fly, it did not take too long to reach the area where the secret realm was located.

This was deep within an unremarkable canyon.

After entering the canyon, everything looked normal, and one could not perceive any hidden secret land here.

Soon, they reached the end of the canyon, in front of which was a mountain wall covered with vines.

Jun Wuxie noticed an anomaly on this mountain wall.

The mountain wall in front of them was not a real scene, but merely an illusion.

They passed through the mountain wall and instantly entered an exceptionally beautiful space.

The environment here was too beautiful. The sky was incredibly high and far, with only auspicious clouds condensed from misty air, and no other clouds could be seen.

Beautiful rainbows stretched across the high sky like long bridges.

On the ground, mountains stretched endlessly, rivers were like jade belts, and the lakes were crystal clear, reflecting a light even more brilliant than gemstones.

"Great hero, what do you think? Is this secret land very special? This emperor smelled immortal energy inside," the toad said with a look of intoxication, and then added, "I just don't know if dark creatures have entered this secret land."

"There is a law suppression here."

Jun Wuxie sensed it as soon as he arrived. The Rune Dao Cave Heaven was silent, and all the Rune Dao laws were unusable.

"What's there to fear about law suppression? Aren't you a body cultivator, great hero?" The toad stood up like a human, with one hand on its hip and the other pointing in a certain direction, saying, "This emperor saw good things over there with those dark creatures. It was a special sacred tree, covered with fruits."

The toad said that there was an island over there with a special sacred tree, and the fruits overflowed with a mouthwatering fragrance.

At that time, those dark creatures were about to land on the island when they discovered it following behind, and a great battle broke out between them.

In the end, the dark creatures had been chasing it all along.

"You mean that at that time, there were only six dark creatures in total, and they all came to chase you?"

"Yes, ah." The toad laughed awkwardly twice, "The main reason is that this emperor snatched the treasures that were about to be obtained by them right under their noses before. As the saying goes, enemies meeting are especially furious. They probably were afraid that this emperor would pick their peaches halfway, so they chased after me relentlessly."

Jun Wuxie did not say much upon hearing this and followed the toad's guidance forward.

This secret land was very vast, and the environment was too good.

The concentration of sacred spiritual energy here was comparable to that of the secret realms outside, but the purity was much higher.

Jun Wuxie sensed a trace of ancient origin aura in the sacred spiritual energy here.

This origin was actually the origin of heaven and earth, but its aura was relatively more ancient and older.

The origin of the world, since it was conceived from a certain era before endless years, would experience a long process of continuous consumption and continuous derivation.

If the balance was not broken, the consumption and derivation of various origins in the world would always maintain a virtuous circle.

However, the development of the era and the evolution of history were full of too many uncertainties. The occurrence of certain special events or major disasters would cause the balance of consumption and derivation of these origins to be broken.

After losing balance, the origin of heaven and earth would become scarce and weak, and the degree of purity would be greatly reduced.

Many of these origins, due to being too weak, would enter a state of dormancy.

This was one of the reasons for the Era of the End of Dharma.

This state usually lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, and then those origins would briefly awaken, releasing part of their origin power, deriving pure spiritual energy, causing the environment of heaven and earth to change, and the Great Dao would no longer be high and far away.

Each such era was called a Minor Golden Age, usually once every hundreds of thousands of years.

Every few million years, the origin of heaven and earth, after a long period of recovery and accumulation, would usher in a major eruption, called the Epoch Golden Age, which was the Great Golden Age.

The cultivation environment in the Great Golden Age was extremely good, and the difficulty of the shackles on the realm would be greatly reduced.

In such an era, various amazing talents would emerge, and a large number of Eternal Saint Realm experts would appear.

At the same time, it was also in such an era that the invasion of darkness would be much more violent than in the Minor Golden Age.

The origin here was relatively ancient. Although it was not considered rich and was very thin, its purity was very high.

"Wuxie, my origin bloodline seems to have had some reaction in this environment," Mu Ciyin said to Jun Wuxie through divine thought transmission.

Jun Wuxie was overjoyed, "Ciyin Master, perhaps it is because there is an ancient origin aura here. In this way, these origins are more ancient than I imagined, otherwise it would be impossible for your origin bloodline to react."

"Yes, the environment here is indeed very special. I wonder what kind of rare resources have been conceived inside," Mu Ciyin was also very expectant, and then reminded, "However, that toad will not be so honest. You must not trust it too much and need to be vigilant at all times."

"Great hero, we're almost there. If we cross this mountain range, we can see that lake, and the island is in the center of the lake." The toad had a flattering expression on its face and came over in a cheap manner, "Great hero, seeing that my attitude is so correct, you must give this emperor a few of those special sacred fruits when you get them, ah."

"Of course, no problem."

Jun Wuxie answered very simply, but he was guarding against this guy in his heart.

When did the toad become so normal in its speech and actions? This in itself indicated abnormality.

After passing through a vast mountain range, the huge lake that the toad spoke of finally appeared in sight.

The lake was as large as an ocean. Looking at it, one could not see the end of the lake even beyond the reach of sight for thousands of miles.

Whether it was a secret realm or a secret land within a secret realm, it had a special order, making it impossible for Jun Wuxie to see as far as he could in the outside world.

In this secret land, let alone thousands of miles not reaching the end, even a lake with a diameter of only thousands of miles would already be considered not small.

The lake water was clear and blue, very beautiful, and shimmered in the sunlight with a luster like broken blue gold.

Having come all the way here, they had not encountered any living beings along the way.

Such a place, although seemingly as beautiful as a fairyland, was actually hidden with dangers, otherwise it would be impossible for even living beings to be extinct.

They came to the lakeside and looked at the island in the center of the lake.

The island was not small, about three to four hundred miles wide and nearly a thousand miles long.

There were countless strange peaks and ridges on the island, covered with dense vegetation.

In the very center of the island, there was a huge tree soaring into the high sky, much taller than the surrounding peaks.

The branches and leaves of the tree were very lush, spreading out like a giant umbrella supporting the sky.

The leaves of that giant tree were like green jade and jadeite carvings, exquisite and beautiful, like works of art.

The green jade leaves all over the tree swayed in the wind, actually making a crisp sound like wind chimes.

Across a distance of two to three thousand miles, the sound could be heard on the shore of the lake, like a beautiful instrument playing a song praising nature, making people feel very comfortable.

If the sound of the leaves of the giant tree swaying and colliding made people feel refreshed, then the fragrance drifting from the giant tree with the wind was refreshing and made people want to swallow their saliva involuntarily.

These were not the most attractive.

Jun Wuxie's gaze was now fixed on the fruits hanging among the dense leaves of the giant tree.

Those fruits were golden yellow, shimmering in the sunlight.

The shape of the fruit was very peculiar, not the round or oval shape of ordinary fruits.

Its shape was actually like a little person sitting cross-legged.

Moreover, there were many lines on the skin of the fruit, and the points between the lines were connected to form a picture like a meridian diagram.

"This is..." Jun Wuxie observed for a long time, searching for relevant memory information in his mind, and disbelief appeared on his face, "Could it be the Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree?"

The toad with a flattering smile on its face heard him say this, and a hint of surprise appeared in the toad's cheap smile, but it disappeared in an instant.

"Wuxie, what is the Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree?"

Hearing the words "Divine Tree", Mu Ciyin's state of mind, which was like still water, stirred up waves.

Divine Tree, could it be a divine-grade wondrous tree?

"A very special and ancient species of tree."

Jun Wuxie explained to Mu Ciyin, saying that although this Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree had the word "Divine Tree" in its name, it did not mean that its grade was divine.

The grade of this tree was related to the environment in which it grew. For example, the one in front of them looked to be only Saint-grade ninth rank and had not reached the divine rank, perhaps because the order of this secret land restricted it. If it were in a higher-level universe, it would definitely be divine-grade, and might even surpass divine-grade.

"The fruits produced by the Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree are called Marrow Cleansing Divine Fruits, which have the effect of cleansing the marrow and removing impurities. They can help cultivators evolve their bloodlines, strengthen their muscles and bones, and increase the intensity of their physical growth!"

Hearing Jun Wuxie say this, Mu Ciyin was slightly stunned. The effect of this Marrow Cleansing Divine Fruit was truly astonishing. Not only could it be used to evolve bloodlines, but it could also enhance the intensity of physical growth.

Such a rare treasure was truly a gem-level resource that cultivators dreamed of!

"The Marrow Cleansing Divine Fruit has amazing effects, and the quantity is also amazing..."

Mu Ciyin exclaimed. She had also had many opportunities in her life and had obtained a large number of natural treasures, but this was truly the first time she had encountered such a thing.

The opportunities and rare treasures she had encountered before were all very rare in quantity.

The Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree she saw today was truly too exaggerated!

A towering tree, covered with fruits!

"It is indeed too amazing. To be honest, although I have heard legends about the Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree in the past, I did not believe it was true, thinking that the rumors were exaggerated. I did not expect it to be true! This Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree is truly so huge, producing a massive amount of Marrow Cleansing Divine Fruits!"

Jun Wuxie told Mu Ciyin that, according to rumors, the Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree was a special treasure tree used by the most powerful dynasty or empire in the world during a certain era of endless years to cultivate talents and build powerful legions, possessing immeasurable value.

However, this has always been in legends. There are no clear records in orthodox history, only mentions in unofficial histories.

The legends about the Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree were simply too outrageous, so many people just treated it as a story and didn't take it seriously.

Jun Wuxie's breathing became rapid. As someone who possessed a dynasty, how could he not desire such a special divine tree?

The Marrow Cleansing Divine Tree on the island was of immeasurable value to him and had great uses!

"Great Hero, don't delay any longer, who knows when the dark creatures will arrive."

The toad reminded him from the side and hurried to the lake, waving at Jun Wuxie, signaling him to come quickly.

Jun Wuxie and Mu Ciyin exchanged a glance and walked side by side to the toad's side.

"Great Hero, hurry and board the island."

The toad said, taking the lead to walk onto the lake surface.

Jun Wuxie nodded and caught up with the toad. Just as a sly smile secretly appeared on its face, Jun Wuxie's palm, surrounded by chaotic golden light, suddenly grabbed the toad's body.

"Great Hero, what are you doing?"

The toad didn't even have time to react effectively before it fell into Jun Wuxie's control, letting out a cry of surprise.

"Of course, it's to have you lead the way."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he forcefully threw the toad in his hand towards the island.

"Ribbit! Kid, you're too immoral! You wait for this Emperor, one day I'll get you!"

The toad let out a heart-wrenching sound, followed by frightened croaking.

As its body crossed the sky above the lake, in the middle of the lake, the calm water suddenly surged up, as if the entire water level was rising.

A powerful aura permeated out, sweeping across this area.

Immediately afterward, countless tentacles stretched out from the surging lake water, wrapping around the toad.

The slippery tentacles covered the toad with a fishy, stinky mucus.

"Ribbit! Croak, croak, kid, save me, save me!"

The toad screamed miserably, its cries were so tragic that they brought tears to one's eyes.

Jun Wuxie and Mu Ciyin walked side by side towards the area where the tentacles stretched out, but they did not offer to help.

Seeing that he was not going to save it, the toad was so angry that it cursed loudly, and then unleashed a river-like stream of saliva at the tentacle monster hidden in the water.

The saliva had a strong impact, directly blasting the lake water open, causing the monster inside to let out a painful cry and roar. The tentacles suddenly tightened, strangling the toad until it almost passed out.
