My gorgeous wife Chapter 1998 - 1966: Seven Divine Trees
Previously on My gorgeous wife...
In the mortal realm, it is commonly known that Supreme Treasures represent the zenith of all artifacts, possessing unparalleled might across Heaven and Earth. It can even be stated that within this boundless Starry Universe, no treasure surpasses the Supreme Treasures in power. However, these Supreme Treasures are not singular entities.
"While we are counted among the Nine Great Treasures, considered the pinnacle of the 'Artifact Class,' this ancient tree before us should, if my senses are correct, be a supreme being of the 'Spirit Class,'" stated the Three Lives Everything Armor in a measured tone.
"A Spirit Class Supreme Treasure?" The Primordial Heavy Water's demeanor shifted to one of seriousness.
"What exactly constitutes the Spirit Class?" Li Chen inquired, his curiosity piqued.
"You are aware of our Artifact Class, are you not?"
Li Chen nodded. The Artifact Class encompasses both Treasure Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts. In this hierarchy, Supreme Treasures undeniably sit at the apex, reigning supreme over the entirety of the Starry Universe, looking down upon all else. Holy Artifacts and Divine Artifacts pale in comparison.
"And the Spirit Class generally pertains to life forms that are born naturally, without the involvement of cultivators," the Primordial Heavy Water elaborated. "Typically, items such as naturally occurring Immortal Herbs and potent Elixirs fall under the Spirit Class classification. The majority of the plant kingdom can also be categorized within the Spirit Class."
"Just as we possess the Nine Great Treasures in the Artifact Class, the Spirit Class boasts the Seven Divine Trees!" the Primordial Heavy Water declared with gravity. "Legend suggests a connection between the Seven Divine Trees and the very genesis of the Starry Universe, the origin of all existence. Furthermore, their history might predate even ours, possibly existing before the primordial chaos... though that remains a legend, as sightings of the Seven Divine Trees have been exceedingly rare throughout eternity."
"They are that ancient?" Li Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.
"As I mentioned, it is merely a legend," the Primordial Heavy Water replied, shaking his head.
After a brief contemplation, Li Chen posed another question: "What are the specific types of these Seven Divine Trees? You surely must know, correct?"
"If you were to ask just anyone, you might not get a complete answer," interjected the Bagua Array Diagram with a boastful tone. "But if you ask me, you are guaranteed to receive accurate information."
True to its reputation, the Bagua Array Diagram possessed an insatiable curiosity, always eager to uncover hidden secrets. Across countless epochs, an immeasurable number of minor secrets had been accumulated within it.
"Hmph, Eight, cease your rambling," the Primordial Heavy Water chided, her expression dark.
Respecting the elder sister's command, the Bagua Array Diagram refrained from further digression and began its explanation in a hushed tone.
"Regarding the Seven Divine Trees, their antiquity is immense. Only certain ancient entities from the era of the Seven Realms possess fragmented knowledge, as these trees are remnants of a bygone civilization... In essence, they are simply profoundly ancient," the Bagua Array Diagram mumbled before continuing, "The Seven Divine Trees are: Kunmu Wood, Jianmu Wood, the Eternal World Tree, Chaotic Yin Yang Grass, Immortal Demon Blue Reed, the Everlasting Root, and the World Tree."
"With the exception of the World Tree and Jianmu Wood, the other five have made historical appearances, though often only as fleeting glimpses," the Bagua Array Diagram stated deliberately. "Moreover, each Divine Tree possesses immense individual power, and for practitioners of cultivation, the Seven Divine Trees likely hold even greater significance than we do."
"For instance, the Everlasting Root is reputed to bestow true immortality, rendering one immune to all calamities. As for the Immortal Demon Blue Reed, it is said to enable body refinement to reach the perfect Grandmaster level, allowing for rebirth and ascension to a higher plane."
"So, you are suggesting this ancient tree could indeed be one of the Seven Divine Trees?" Li Chen's gaze intensified.
Li Chen already possessed the Indestructible Body, and according to the Bagua Array Diagram, his body refinement had already reached the true Great Accomplishment Realm. If he could acquire the Immortal Demon Blue Reed, wouldn't that signify the potential for him to break through to an entirely new level in body refinement?
"I cannot be entirely certain," the Three Lives Everything Armor admitted with a hint of hesitation. "It's just that, aside from the Seven Divine Trees, I cannot conceive of any other Spirit Class entity capable of emanating such formidable Heaven and Earth Essence."
"Should we attempt to acquire it?" Even the Five Elements Boots could not contain their growing excitement.
"Let us observe first." As the master, Li Chen maintained his composure.
This was because he had discerned a crucial detail within the Bagua Array Diagram's words.
The Seven Divine Trees inherently possessed potent self-defense capabilities!
But just how formidable was this innate power?
Li Chen remained unaware. Without a full assessment of the inherent dangers, he was unwilling to court unnecessary peril. While he possessed an adventurous spirit, it certainly didn't extend to reckless charges into harm's way. That wouldn't be adventure; it would be suicide!
At that precise moment, Li Chen witnessed a cultivator, mid-stride, suddenly freeze. Then, his entire body abruptly disintegrated.
A complete disintegration, transforming into a smear of blood that drenched the ground.
"The Heaven and Earth Essence alone wields such terrifying might. If this truly emanates from that ancient tree, then this entity is fearsome beyond measure," even the Bagua Array Diagram couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.
The reason for its astonishment was that the cultivator, reduced to a bloody mess, was actually a Soul Realm expert whose cultivation had been suppressed!
But a living Soul Realm expert, crushed to death by the Heaven and Earth Essence? What a horrifying spectacle that was!
Observing this grim scene, Li Chen's eyes narrowed further.
Just then, Li Chen suddenly detected a commotion originating from behind him.
"Uncle Bai, I can hold on a little longer; you should go!" A voice called out, causing Li Chen's expression to shift dramatically.
In the very next instant, Li Chen's concerns about the Seven Divine Trees vanished. He whirled around and immediately moved to exit the domain.
However, an immense sealing power surged forth from the very fabric of heaven and earth, preventing Li Chen's departure, as if intent on trapping him.
Li Chen let out a cold snort. "You intend to confine me?"
The Space Law of the Void Realm erupted dramatically. Before Li Chen, layers of silver Power of Space surged and intertwined with the oppressive sealing power.
Perhaps in terms of raw power, Li Chen was no match for the sealing force. However, his mastery over Space Law had already attained an exceptionally high level.
Furthermore, after his integration with the Space-time Law, his Space Law had advanced another step, faintly brushing against the threshold of the Fifth Layer.
Beyond the Void Realm, the Fifth Layer of Space Law is recognized as the Domain of Spatial Mastery!
What level of cultivation is the Domain of Spatial Mastery?
Just as its appellation suggests, it is the exclusive domain of Palm Realm powerhouses!
Li Chen's failure to break through to the Domain of Spatial Mastery was not due to any deficiency in his comprehension of space, but rather a consequence of his insufficient cultivation!
The outcome of possessing such a profound understanding of space was that, after repeated clashes with the sealing power, Li Chen forcibly tore open a spatial gate!
Casting a cold glance back at the ancient tree, Li Chen did not hesitate, stepping directly through the portal and out of that space.
The very instant Li Chen emerged from the spatial gate, a roar, akin to that of an enraged lion, erupted from his throat.
"Who... dares to lay a hand on my son?!!"
