Wu Shattered Star River

The road up the mountain was extremely difficult. The mountain was very steep, almost vertical. It was covered with dense black trees, and black snakes were everywhere. The forest was shrouded in purple mist.

This was fine for Jiang Han, but an ordinary martial artist would have found it impossible to move an inch. Jiang Han was not afraid of the purple mist, and his released Thunder Domain could almost ignore the yellow snakes, so he only needed to deal with the black trees.

Therefore, even though the mountain was uniformly covered with black trees, it didn't put much pressure on Jiang Han. The battle blade that Lan Lin gave him was too sharp, and he could easily recover and cut a path through.

After spending two incense sticks' worth of time, Jiang Han finally approached the summit.

He didn't rashly go up, but instead released his Spirit Seeking Art to investigate.

To his surprise, there were no dangers on the summit. There wasn't a single black tree or yellow snake to be seen, and even the purple mist was gone.

"Oh? There are Eternal Youth Fruits on the mountain!"

Jiang Han's eyes suddenly lit up. He detected two pink saplings next to the Divine Tree. Each sapling bore three round, pink fruits, exactly like the Eternal Youth Fruit image that Qian Yuan had shown him.

Eternal Youth Fruits were top-tier spiritual fruits. These fruits could keep one's youthful appearance, and for women, they were the ultimate sacred medicine in the world. One fruit was said to be able to fetch tens of billions of Xuan Stones at auction, yet it was still priceless.

Jiang Han naturally wasn't after the Xuan Stones. If he could get some Eternal Youth Fruits to give to Qi Bing, Zuo Yiyi, and Xiong Jingjing, the three of them would definitely be overjoyed.

Hmm…

He could give one to Si Li. Si Li had shown him great kindness, and he had always been unsure how to repay her. This Eternal Youth Fruit would be the best gift.

After detecting the existence of the Eternal Youth Fruits, Jiang Han didn't rush up the mountain, but continued to use his Spirit Seeking Art to investigate.

He investigated thoroughly three or four times, and after confirming that there were no dangers, he rushed to the summit.

The summit was very open and flat, about a thousand feet in circumference. Apart from a Divine Tree in the central area and two Eternal Youth Fruit trees beside it, there was nothing else on the summit.

"So fragrant!"

Jiang Han smelled a refreshing fragrance from afar, which must be the scent of the Eternal Youth Fruits.

He watched for a while and slowly approached, with his battle armor appearing around his body and the Thunder God's Whip in his hand, ready to attack at any moment.

It's safe!

Jiang Han arrived in the area a hundred feet in front of the Divine Tree. He didn't sense any danger. The silence here was unsettling.

After looking around for a few moments, Jiang Han continued to walk forward. After fifty feet, Jiang Han suddenly stopped, a look of joy on his face.

He sensed the surging power of the Great Dao. This was indeed a Divine Tree, with a surging and pure power of the Great Dao beside it.

He also sensed a mysterious and profound charm of the Great Dao emanating from the tree.

"Why isn't there a beast guarding the Divine Tree?"

Jiang Han was a little surprised. Shouldn't there be a powerful demon beast guarding a sacred medicine of heaven and earth? Yet there was no threat near the Divine Tree, which made him feel a little unbelievable.

He looked around for a few more moments, and without hesitation, he slowly approached the Divine Tree. After he arrived next to the Divine Tree and confirmed that there was no danger, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a rich power of the Great Dao!"

Sensing the rich power of the Great Dao nearby, Jiang Han's heart surged.

There were quite a few cyan energies floating on his sea of consciousness, and there were also many Xuan materials of the lightning attribute, but he lacked the power of the Great Dao, which was needed to quickly construct the altar.

If he could absorb enough power of the Great Dao, his realm could be quickly improved. Perhaps cultivating here for three days could raise his realm to the peak of the Heaven-Human Realm.

"Buzz ~"

He took out a few jade boxes and first picked the six Eternal Youth Fruits. When picking the last one, he hesitated for a moment, didn't put it away, and instead ate it in one bite.

Anyway, he didn't plan to sell the Eternal Youth Fruits, and he couldn't give away so many, so keeping them would be a waste.

If he were killed, these Eternal Youth Fruits would be a waste for others, so he might as well eat one to taste it.

Sweet on the tongue, fragrant in the mouth.

That was the feeling after eating the Eternal Youth Fruit, but it was still a bit different from the taste of the fruit the little fox had given him before.

After the Eternal Youth Fruit entered his stomach, it turned into a stream of energy that swept through his body. Then, Jiang Han felt some impurities being discharged from his pores, and his skin seemed to become whiter.

Apart from that, Jiang Han didn't find anything special. He sensed it for a moment and then ignored it, sitting cross-legged under the tree to begin cultivating.

Time was precious. It was said that the Divine Tree would automatically disappear three days after a martial artist cultivated under it.

And who knew if anyone would come up the mountain? Before Jiang Han, dozens of martial artists had passed through the canyon first.

Sure enough!

Jiang Han casually absorbed some of it and felt that the power of the Great Dao near the Divine Tree was a hundred times richer than outside, and it was exceptionally pure. Cultivating here for one day was comparable to cultivating outside for a hundred days.

"Chirp, chirp!"

Just as Jiang Han was absorbing the power of the Great Dao, the Divine Tree suddenly flashed with light, and then the branches above shot down, drooping like a waterfall, which startled Jiang Han.

Jiang Han immediately took out his battle blade and was about to slash at the branches. However, he quickly realized that these branches were not attacking him, but were all shooting into the ground.

"What's the situation?"

Jiang Han was a little confused. Countless branches shot down, all submerged into the ground, enveloping him.

Those branches intertwined with each other, forming a tree cover, trapping him inside.

"Bang!"

Jiang Han swung his battle blade and slashed at the branches, but the sound of metal colliding came, and his battle blade was actually bounced back.

He widened his eyes and looked at the branches, but found that the branches emitted a faint yellow light. Not to mention cutting them off, not even a mark was left.

"Damn…"

Jiang Han was frightened. What was going on? Were these branches cast from cold iron?

His powerful strength, coupled with this top-tier battle blade, couldn't even cut through these small branches?

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

Jiang Han continuously wielded his battle blade, heavily chopping at the branches. Each time, the battle blade was bounced back, numbing his arms, but the branches were not damaged in any way.

"Chirp, chirp ~"

Jiang Han released the Thunder God's Whip, swinging the giant thunder chain to smash at the branches, but the result was the same.

The yellow light on the branches shone brightly, and the giant thunder chain couldn't harm the branches in the slightest.

"Shadow Shift!"

"Wind Escape Technique!"

Jiang Han tried Shadow Shift and Wind Escape Technique, but both times he was bounced back by the branches. He then used the Earth Penetration Technique, wanting to escape from the ground, but the ground was also full of branches.

The Divine Tree's branches had formed a net, and he was actually trapped by the branches. If this were to spread, no one would dare to believe it.

However!

These branches were only trapping him and not attacking Jiang Han, which made him feel a little relieved.

He pondered for a while, released the Light of Destruction and Ghost Fire, but there was still no effect, so he gave up.

After observing inside for half an hour, confirming that the branches had no intention of attacking him, Jiang Han simply ignored it and sat down to continue absorbing the power of the Great Dao.

It was said that this Divine Tree would disappear after three days? When the Divine Tree disappeared, he would naturally be able to escape, right? The Divine Tree wouldn't take him away with it, would it?

"Or, is this Divine Tree protecting me, to prevent me from being disturbed during cultivation?"

Jiang Han thought of a possibility. Regardless of the real situation, he couldn't get out now anyway. He didn't think about it anymore, and sat down to enter meditation and begin absorbing the power of the Great Dao.

The rich power of the Great Dao around him poured into Jiang Han's body like a tide, and it was very refreshing to absorb this power of the Great Dao.

"That's not right!"

Half an hour later, Jiang Han suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He found that the world in front of him was gradually brightening, and then he saw a scene that shocked him.
