Chapter 494: Ancient Wood Tree, The Mysterious Boundary Core
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In one of Ye Xuan’s Beast Lairs, the Golden Dragon of Luck was glowing with golden light rays. Meanwhile, its body gradually grew, until the point that it was at least five-meter tall.
The Sea of Luck Clouds beneath it also rumbled and expanded.
Of all that, the biggest change was the Golden Dragon of Luck’s Beast Lair.
It had swelled so much that it was now borderless, like an entire world by itself.
At that scale, it was as big as a Milky Star Way.
“So, this is the Mythic Level?”
Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up.
After 10 days of conquering a dozen star zones, the Golden Dragon of Luck, finally on this day, advanced into the Mythic Level..
It was a huge milestone to achieve the Mythic Level.
Besides, the highest level a beast could reach was the five-star Mythic Level.
There was never one that could surpass that.
Not to mention beasts that could reach five-star were very uncommon.
“Looks like I’m officially advancing into the Mythic Level very soon!”
Ye Xuan could feel the change in his own body too along with the Golden Dragon of Luck’s upgrade.
It was not that he would level up together with his beast.
But the Golden Dragon of Luck could gather luck. With a dozen star zones under his wing at the moment, a huge amount of luck would gather toward the Golden Dragon of Luck every second.
Under this situation, it would not take long for his second and third beasts to advance into the Mythic Level.
By then, he would eventually grow into the Mythic Level as well.
“With my current ability, I think it’s about time to check out the Tianyu Star Zone.”
Looking out at the endless star sea, he sighed in his heart.
Tianyu Star Zone was Fu Tianhao’s territory.
Prior to this, he had been avoiding coming into contact with Fu Tianhao.
It was different now.
He was strong enough to take on Fu Tianhao face-to-face now.
Perhaps, he would be stronger. If he could win Fu Tianhao, he would be able to become Dragon Palace of the Azure Sea’s number one true transmission disciple and receive a reward from them.
In fact, resources after advancing into the Mythic Level were not that impressive.
Resources in the Eternal Level was something he needed to get his hands on.
“Well, I guess I shall take off now.”
Ye Xuan had always been a decisive person.
Leaving Lu Qingtian behind, he ordered for the others to leave.
After letting the Seal Beast gain control of Lu Qingtian and leave his instructions, Ye Xuan left the ark.
This time, his destination was the Tianyu Star Zone.
…
“Looks like our Little Junior is almost done with his mission, and is on his way here.”
In the Tianyu Star Zone, Fu Tianhao looked into the distance with solemn eyes while standing on the walls that surrounded the entire starry sky.
Beside him were Hai Kongqing and Wan Ling’er from earlier.
The two had been back for several days now after travelling through the void on the transmission formation.
“Little Junior is coming back?”
Hearing the news, the expressions on Hai Kongqing and Wan Ling’er turned complicated.
When they returned, they had already told Fu Tianhao everything they had experienced.
After Fu Tianhao was told that Ye Xuan actually had Mythic Level or even Mythic (Peak) Level powers, he was shocked too.
Besides, the Dragon Palace of the Azure Sea’s True Transmission Token could only show as much as Ye Xuan’s location.
And his original cultivation level.
His advancements in the later time could not be displayed.
That was why he had a lot of questions in his mind.
He could not figure out how Ye Xuan managed to increase his cultivation level that much in such a short period of time.
“I’m afraid he’s confident enough to face me this time.”
Shaking his head, Fu Tianhao turned his gaze toward the Far North.
In the Heavenly Universe, there was the Quadrupole Star Zone.
The Quadrupole Star Zone was not among the 3,000 star zones, and each of them was unbelievably vast.
In addition, the internal forces of the star zone were complicatedly intertwined.
Tianyu Star Zone that he was on was just next to the North Star Zone.
It was also located very near to this one powerhouse in the Far North.
The reason that he did not look for Ye Xuan himself earlier was somehow related to this force.
He was concerned about Ye Xuan.
However, he was more concerned about the force.
This was because the master of this force was exactly the Dragon Palace of the Nether Sea’s number one true transmission disciple. Dragon Palace of the Nether Sea was only one out of the seven Palace of the Ocean Dragons.
“Ye Xuan!”
Fu Tianhao called out to Ye Xuan in his heart.
He wondered if he and Ye Xuan would be able to fight against the powerhouse if Ye Xuan were to agree to collaborate with him.
In the starry sky of the universe, Ye Xuan continued to travel north.
Following the Tree of World’s advancement into the Immortal (Peak) Level, he could travel faster.
Most of the Mythic-level living things could not travel as fast as the Tree of World.
Of course, the Tree of World would be weaker than the others in the aspect of combat power.
After all, the Tree of World’s level was only up to two stars.
If its grade were not leveled up by the time it reaches Mythic Level, there would be no more chance for advancement.
“Is this the Tianyu Star Zone?”
Lin Shiru was sitting on a piece of the Tree of World’s thick, green leaf, with her back against Ye Xuan. Studying the star zone, she asked curiously.
Ye Xuan was bored on the journey, so he invited Lin Shiru along.
Along with the upgrade of his power, his Beast Lair had also gotten stronger.
With Ye Xuan’s sensing, he would be able to return to the Milky Star Way from anywhere in the universe through his Beast Lair.
“Yes, this is Tianyu Star Zone. It will be soon. Wait until I reach the peak of this universe, I’ll bring you on a tour across the universe.”
With one hand, Ye Xuan gently pulled the light blue ribbon that was around Lin Shiru’s waist. The bowline knot instantly came loose with his gesture.
“Stop messing around!”
Lin Shiru looked at him weird and rolled her eyes. After such a long time, Ye Xuan had not changed a bit, still as hopeless as he was.
“Hehe.”
With a naughty sneer, Ye Xuan pulled Lin Shiru into his arms.
The universe was monotonous and boring, but the scene in the lush, leafy ancient tree was exceptionally beautiful.
…
In the Ancient Wood Star Zone.
On their merry way, Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru soon arrived in a star zone that they had never seen before.
Everything was abnormally huge there.
This star zone was under the leadership of Divine Sovereign Ancient Wood.
He was a Beast Tamer who had advanced into the Mythic Level long ago.
To such Mythic-level Beast Tamers, Ye Xuan could not lead any star zone yet.
It was because his cultivation level still remained at the Immortal (Peak) Level.
It had not reached the Mythic Level.
Before he achieved the Mythic Level, he could never have Mythic-level Beast Tamers as his servants.
The reason why he came to the Ancient Wood Star Zone this time was to go to the Sky Reaching Star Zone through a transmission formation that can be found only in the Ancient Wood Star Zone.
Sky Reaching Star Zone was a very special star zone among the 3,000 star zones.
The star zone was named ‘Sky Reaching’.
This was because there were huge transmission formations built in it.
Among the 3,000 star zones, most of them were connected to the Sky Reaching Star Zone.
So, going through the transmission formation could save a lot of Ye Xuan’s time.
Otherwise, it would be hard, even for him, to reach Tianyu Star Zone in a short time only with the Tree of World.
“This place is spectacular.”
As they were approaching the Ancient Wood Star Zone, Lin Shiru, who was beside Ye Xuan, looked out into the endless starry sky. On her beautiful face, there was shock and amazement.
As Ye Xuan’s cultivation level increased, hers improved a lot as well.
Although their levels were still somewhat far apart, she was already a Monarch-level Beast Tamer.
She was only one step away from the Starlight Level.
Ye Xuan followed Lin Shiru’s gaze and found a huge ancient tree growing on the Ancient Wood Star, which was the core star of the Ancient Wood Star Zone.
At the same time, lush scenery was everywhere on the Ancient Wood Star.
“I heard that all plants on the Ancient Wood Star were derived from that Ancient Wood Tree.”
Ye Xuan smiled as he explained to Lin Shiru. “The Ancient Wood Tree was originally just a tree in the universe without any spiritual intellect.”
“However, a thousand years ago, two worlds collided and the tree started to have spiritual intellect. Then, the Ancient Wood Tree was chartered by Divine Sovereign Ancient Wood.”
Lin Shiru was surprised by the new information. Soon after, as if she had realized something, she asked, “How’s the Ancient Wood Tree compared to your Tree of World?”
Until now, she had not known the true ability of Ye Xuan.
She only knew that Ye Xuan was very strong.
Up to what level, she had never asked.
“Of course, the current Tree of World is not comparable with the Ancient Wood Tree. But if I use my talent to upgrade the Tree of World, even a dozen ten thousand Ancient Wood Trees could not fight the Tree of World.”
Ye Xuan laughed confidently.
Lin Shiru’s eyes widened.
She finally understood that Ye Xuan had already reached the Mythic Level.
Not only that, but she noticed that he was no ordinary Beast Tamer.
…
On the Ancient Wood Star and in front of a huge Transmission Portal, a dozen figures were gathering around, some in twos or threes while some stood alone.
The Transmission Portal was the entrance leading to the Sky Reaching Star Zone.
On usual days, there are very few people who would use the Transmission Portal.
One of the reasons was due to the expensive transmission fee, so Beast Tamers who are not of high levels would normally wait by the portal to share rides.
Today, coincidentally, was the day when the Transmission Door was opened.
However, the crowd was abnormally big this time.
Unlike other days.
“There’s a brand new Universal Secret Realm in the Sky Reaching Star Zone this time. Do you think we could find anything there?”
Everyone was excited to go through the Transmission Portal to the new realm.
“A brand new Universal Secret Realm would eventually have a lot of luck, but don’t forget the dangers too.
Starlight-level Beast Tamers like us could at most watch from the border. We should never venture further into it.
Even if we were to find an item with immense luck, never be greedy.”
Some shook their heads while letting out sighs as they spoke.
Not all the luck one discovered could belong to him or her.
In the worst case scenario, it could even bring harm to that person.
“Universal Secret Realm?”
As Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru approached the Transmission Portal, they could hear the discussion from the ground.
He was surprised.
A Universal Secret Realm was one of the Heavenly Universe’s specialities.
It was not a product of the imperial world and the heavenly world’s fusion.
From what Ye Xuan had learned lately, a Universal Secret Realm was very rare but it contained a lot of luck.
One of the luck was exactly what he needed.
It was the Universal Mystic Treasure.
In a Universal Secret Realm, there were normally Regulated Sacred Ponds.
Once a Regulated Sacred Pond was acquired and owned by someone, he or she could use it to nurture a Universal Mystic Treasure of liking.
For example.
If Ye Xuan could own a Regulated Sacred Pond, he could use it to nurture a Sky Cracking Armor and a Sky Cracking Wing.
Then, he would have the two universes that could merge with the Tyrannosaurus.
“Since the Universal Mystic Treasure has come up in the Sky Reaching Star Zone, I could use a visit along the way to Tianyu Star Zone.”
Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up with hope.
With his current strength, he was no longer a weakling in the entire Heavenly Universe.
If the Quadrupole Star Zone was not even counted, he would be one of the top powerhouses among the 3,000 star zones.
Whoosh!
With that in mind, Ye Xuan led Lin Shiru toward the Ancient Wood Star Zone right away.
Whiz!
On the Ancient Wood Star, the leaves of the Ancient Wood Tree were shuffling against each other excitedly as if they had sensed something.
“What’s going on?”
An old man with a rickety figure furrowed his brows. He then flashed and appeared in front of the Ancient Wood Tree.
“I’ve just sensed an opportunity to advance!”
The Ancient Wood Tree shivered and rumbling sounds could be heard. From the tree trunk, a pale-looking face emerged.
It opened its mouth to speak, “An Ancient Wood containing an endless yet strange vitality is approaching. As long as it is devoured by me, I can advance to a higher level. My potential could probably increase as well!”
“Ancient Wood? What Ancient Wood?
The old man’s gaze froze. “From what you have sensed, what’s the strength of this Ancient Wood?”
“Immortal Level! The Ancient Wood is only at the Immortal Level, but the movement of qi inside it is indeed extraordinary.”
The Ancient Wood Tree spoke.
“Only Immortal Level?”
The old man shifted his eyes and said, “Then we’ll wait. We wait for it to arrive at the Ancient Wood Star. I’ll check out the situation first.”
The Ancient Wood Tree nodded without saying another word.
“By the way, how’s the refinement of the boundary core?”
Then, the old man remembered something and questioned the Ancient Wood Tree.
“More or less the same. This thing’s level is too high. I’ve been refining it for a thousand years and the improvement is so little. Perhaps the refinement can only be completed when I reach the Eternal Level.”
The Ancient Wood Tree shook its head and the body of the tree swayed along. Suddenly, a crystal core with a hint of chaotic aura emerged.
There was an immense amount of movement of qi around the crystal core. Other than the strong aura of life, it also contained the Force of the World.
The crystal core was a treasure that landed on the Ancient Wood Star when the two worlds collided.
It was the item that had awakened the spiritual intellect of the Ancient Wood Tree.
The tree immediately became a Mythic-level spiritual being too.
Alas, the Ancient Wood Tree could not figure out the exact level of the crystal core even though it had gained so much power from the core.
It could only feel that the level was unusually high.
“Eternal level…”
The old man remained silent.
The current Ancient Wood Tree was only at the intermediate Mythic-level.
It was still far from the advanced Mythic-level.
Besides, its potential had reached the maximum.
If there was no other way to increase its potential, it would be impossible for it to achieve the Eternal Level.
“Let’s see, what has come to my Ancient Wood Star!”
A trace of sorrow appeared on Ancient Wood Ancestor’s face.
He had sensed danger from the birth of the Immortal Ancient Continent earlier.
It was a danger that even he, a Mythic-level Beast Tamer Warrior, could not face.
