When the Semi-Demon Sect attacked, Gu Zhan Tian and Yu Youwei betrayed their squadmates and pleaded for their own lives. The Semi-Demon Sect leader agreed to spare them but secretly marked them. Just as the Semi-Demon Sect moved to attack Ye Yun and Dragon Tree, the Three Star Ancient God returned and annihilated the attackers. Later, Gu Zhan Tian and Yu Youwei succumbed to a hidden poison and died.

"It’s finally calm."

Ye Yun clapped his hands and looked at the distant, sprawling mountains, smiling softly.

Back then.

He had Little Flower parasitize everyone in the Star Ancient God Church Palace, including some Star Ancient clan members.

This time.

In the Unborn Secret Realm, Ye Yun easily annihilated the Semi-Demon Sect by leveraging a Three Star Ancient God.

The Celestial Boat continued to speed forward.

After two hours, Ye Yun finally discovered a piece of the Root of No Birth hidden within a towering mountain range.

This fragment of the Root of No Birth had a cultivation base in the God King Stature Third Layer, disguised as a large tree, growing in the valley.

If someone passed by without noticing, they would be ambushed by it.

Although the Root of No Birth bears the shape of roots, it can transform infinitely with formidable attack power.

"Dragon Tree, go take a look."

Ye Yun stood on the Celestial Boat and instructed Dragon Tree beside him.

"Understood."

Dragon Tree responded, immediately descending from mid-air.

He landed atop the tree.

Whoosh!

The large tree suddenly twisted, as hundreds of snake-like roots reached out to grab him.

Observing this, Dragon Tree smiled slightly.

He remained utterly still, extending just one palm.

Whoosh—The palm suddenly enlarged, grasping all the roots within its hand.

Sizzling...

The roots struggled continuously like startled venomous snakes, but they couldn’t escape.

Buzz!

Dragon Tree’s arm trembled, transmitting a burst of power. A massive tree crown vanished, transforming into a piece of root.

"Buddha Lord, this piece of the Root of No Birth feels so familiar, as if it was separated from my own body..."

Dragon Tree closed his eyes, felt it for a few breaths, then opened his eyes and gazed at Ye Yun above, saying.

"As expected."

Ye Yun smiled faintly and descended beside Dragon Tree.

His eyes twinkled, scrutinizing the piece of the Root of No Birth.

According to Ye Yun, this piece indeed highly resembled Dragon Tree’s roots.

This is intriguing.

It seems the Xuantian Sect has done quite a lot with that fragment of the Root of No Birth.

"Absorb it, there are many Roots of No Birth in this Unborn Secret Realm. Dragon Tree, if you absorb more, you’ll break through to the God Emperor Realm..."

Ye Yun said with a smile.

"Indeed..."

Dragon Tree nodded with a smile, his palm glowing with a light the same color as the Root of No Birth.

As the glow enveloped the fragment of the Root of No Birth, it began to soften, ultimately being fully absorbed by Dragon Tree.

Throughout the process, the Root of No Birth made not a sound.

Given its low cultivation base, it stood no chance against Dragon Tree.

Ye Yun cast a look, noticing that Dragon Tree’s aura seemed slightly strengthened.

Ye Yun was quite satisfied.

This journey not only yielded great rewards but also allowed Dragon Tree to upgrade, truly a win-win situation.

The two resumed their journey.

Along the way, they discovered several more fragments of the Root of No Birth, all of which were captured and absorbed by Dragon Tree.

"Dragon Tree, I’ve noticed that these Roots of No Birth still attack when confronting you, indicating they don’t consider you their true body and have no respect in their hearts..."

Standing on the Celestial Boat, Ye Yun mused over the recent fragments of the Root of No Birth, speaking softly.

"The Buddha Lord’s words are indeed true.

It seems there truly is a Formless Tree in the depths of this Unborn Secret Realm, which is the true body of all Roots of No Birth..."

Dragon Tree said earnestly.

"Let’s go, let’s quickly find this true body, tame it, and if you merge with it, the promotion in realm will be unimaginable!"

Ye Yun said expectantly.

Dragon Tree promptly agreed.

The two quickened their pace, ignoring any God King Stature Roots of No Birth.

If there were God Emperor Realm Roots of No Birth, they would be incredibly nourishing for Dragon Tree.

According to Ye Yun’s estimation, if Dragon Tree could merge with a God Emperor Realm Root of No Birth, he’d break through to the God Emperor Realm.

After flying for a few time units.

The emerald-green mountains ahead grew taller, and the greenery more lush, while the number of cultivators decreased.

This was because, as they delved deeper into the Unborn Secret Realm, the cultivation bases of the Roots of No Birth heightened.

Based on Ye Yun’s guess, there should be God Emperor Realm Roots of No Birth not far ahead.

The combat prowess of the Root of No Birth was formidable; along the way, Ye Yun saw many teams perish.

A single Root of No Birth could cause the downfall of a hundred-member team.

Therefore, when confronting a God Emperor Realm Root of No Birth, without sufficient strength, deep entry was not dared.

Rumble...

In the distant mountains appeared a colossal commotion.

A giant towering figure emerged intermittently from the ground, engaging in a fierce battle with a root like a giant dragon.

This giant was undoubtedly that Three Star Ancient God.

Yet.

Now he seemed to be in some trouble, as his opponent was also a Second Level of Divine Emperor Realm Root of No Birth.

This Root of No Birth was exceptionally formidable, with remarkably strong defense, not inferior to the Three Star Ancient God of the Star Ancient clan.

The Root of No Birth varied unpredictably, and its mysterious attacks were challenging for the Three Star Ancient God to handle.

Boom boom...

The battle intensified, the roar unending.

Watching the distant battle, Ye Yun maneuvered the Celestial Boat closer, smiling, "Dragon Tree, this is our first encounter with a God Emperor Realm Root of No Birth..."

"I humbly beseech the Buddha Lord’s help."

Dragon Tree, hands clasped together, said with utmost respect.

Against the God Emperor Realm Root of No Birth, he currently couldn’t prevail, so he had to rely on the Buddha Lord.

Ye Yun chuckled, "Let’s go. After being parasitized, this Three Star Ancient God is not considered an outsider, I’ll give him a hand..."

The Celestial Boat zipped across the sky, arriving swiftly near the battle.

Boom!

At this moment, the dragon-like Root of No Birth launched a bizarre attack, promptly striking and sending the Three Star Ancient God flinging away.

The Root of No Birth seemed oblivious to the approaching Celestial Boat, continuing its charge toward the Three Star Ancient God.

"Freeze!"

Ye Yun pointed a finger.

The colossal root suspended mid-air, thousands of meters long, was suddenly and forcefully immobilized.

Ye Yun directed the Celestial Boat swiftly toward it.

The Root of No Birth’s body may have been immobilized, but its soul and consciousness remained unaffected.

The Three Star Ancient God flew over from afar, respectfully saluting Ye Yun, "Greetings, master..."

Slash!

Ye Yun lifted his sword, cutting off a small piece of the Root of No Birth and tossing it to the Three Star Ancient God.

"It’s not easy coming all this way, take this piece of Root of No Birth!"

Ye Yun instructed.

"Thank you, master!"

The Three Star Ancient God was elated, catching the piece of Root of No Birth, bowed again, and quickly retreated.

After the Three Star Ancient God left.

Ye Yun looked at the Root of No Birth and asked calmly, "Is your true body hidden within this secret realm?"

"I don’t understand what you’re talking about!?"

A humanoid face appeared on the head of the Root of No Birth, glaring at Ye Yun without a trace of fear.

Buzz!

Ye Yun’s eyes narrowed slightly, instantly unleashing the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye, infiltrating that piece of the Root of No Birth.

Moments later.

Ye Yun showed a hint of regret on his face.

That piece of Root of No Birth had no memory regarding a true body.

Its memory sea was extremely sparse, almost pitifully so, not even knowing how it came into being...
