My gorgeous wife Chapter 2355 - 2323: Populus Euphratica Divine Tree

The Coffin of Deathly Silence is filled with numerous perilous places, as well as many horrifying areas where deaths happen invisibly.

However, Yang Qingling had been following Li Chen for nearly a month. Although she witnessed many deadly places that made even her Domain Realm status tremble, they never once encountered any danger.

As they traveled further, Yang Qingling’s admiration for Li Chen grew increasingly.

Although he hadn’t displayed any cultivation along the way and his body appeared frail, in Yang Qingling’s eyes, his ability to effortlessly resolve all crises into nothingness made him a true master.

Comparing herself to this white-haired gentleman, she was far too inadequate.

Thinking of her own title as a ’genius,’ Yang Qingling couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.

Nevertheless, she didn’t know that the man walking in front of her was not a mere genius, but one of the greatest monster geniuses in the history of the starry universe.

Moreover, this monster genius had lived for more than eighty million years.

Though his cultivation was long gone, Li Chen’s insights remained, and he was a top-level master of formations. During the great battle against Shang, he could even set up a killing formation equivalent to Heaven and Earth Realm power.

Though the natural formations in this Coffin of Deathly Silence were indeed special, compared to him, they were far too insignificant.

After all, this was merely a Spiritual Energy depleted low-level plane.

"Stop."

Standing before a sand dune, Li Chen suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Yang Qingling immediately stopped in her tracks obediently.

Throughout the journey, there were times she felt defiant and wanted to charge through perilous lands using her strength to save time.

But in the end, she always ended up humiliated and defeated.

Afterwards, she dared not act recklessly again.

"Move left three steps, retreat four steps, then strike downwards at a forty-five-degree angle with all your might," Li Chen calmly instructed.

Without hesitation, Yang Qingling unleashed a full-force attack at the spot Li Chen pointed out.

Though she was only at the initial stage of Sixth-Order Domain Realm, when unleashing her full power, her strength was nearly on par with a late Stage Expert.

With a loud bang, a painful screech came from within the sand dune.

Soon, a giant centipede nearly a hundred feet long emerged from the sand.

A massive wound was evident on its brow.

This wound was precisely caused by Yang Qingling’s previous attack.

After the appearance of the giant centipede, it merely screeched a few times before twitching on the ground and then ceased moving entirely, undeniably dead.

Yang Qingling’s previous strike had directly shattered its life core without any deviation.

Gazing at the motionless giant centipede on the ground, even Yang Qingling couldn’t help but pause in awe.

Undoubtedly, this was a formidable being, on her level, or perhaps even slightly exceeding her cultivation, evolved to such a state in this Coffin of Deathly Silence through some mysterious means.

Leaving aside the fact that she hadn’t sensed the giant centipede which posed a threat of ambush, even in direct combat, it would pose quite a challenge for her.

Yet now, was this giant entity defeated so easily with a single strike?

At this moment, Yang Qingling looked at Li Chen with not just pure admiration but with an emerging reverence.

Such insight, not even the top experts from my continent might possess.

"Alright."

Li Chen retracted his gaze from the dead centipede as if he had accomplished something insignificant.

Reality was, for him, the life or death of such a Domain Realm centipede was indeed trivial.

"According to the combined information and map we’ve gathered, given our current speed, we should be close to the Populus Euphratica Divine Tree by now," Li Chen said. "Although I’ve never seen this so-called divine tree, there’s one thing I can assure you."

With these words, Li Chen’s face showed a rare seriousness. "The closer we get to this so-called Populus Euphratica Divine Tree, the more dangerous it becomes."

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Yang Qingling’s heart tensed.

Having traversed so much of the Coffin of Deathly Silence, she dared not underestimate this low-level plane any longer.

According to her calculations, had it not been for Li Chen’s presence, even if she made it through that Illusion Array and reached this point, relying on the family’s life-saving treasures, she would still have been seriously injured if not already dead.

Now, even Li Chen stated such words, leaving her no choice but to tread carefully.

"Understood." Yang Qingling nodded earnestly. "Regardless, I must see the Populus Euphratica Divine Tree. If it truly can aid in curing my brother’s illness, no matter what, I will find a way!"

"Alright." Seeing her determination, Li Chen refrained from further dissuasion.

For a young individual to have their determination and boundaries is a good thing.

As he looked at Yang Qingling, Li Chen vaguely saw a reflection of his former self from many years ago.

Somewhere along the way, Li Chen realized his mindset had become quite weathered.

Not that endless cycle of madness and lucidity over eighty million years, but it had been so even during his times in the cosmic universe.

The once carefree, life-gaming Li Chen had gradually drifted away.

If this is what growing up means, then the cost of growth, for Li Chen, was simply too great.

"We’re here!"

After the giant centipede’s demise, the two faced no further hindrances, and after a day of unhindered travel, they finally reached the border area of the continent’s west.

In that boundless scenery, a colossal shadow emerged.

That shadow, as if supporting the entire firmament, with its enormous body, exuded a surging breath of life that could make any living being’s mind spirit tremble.

Even Li Chen couldn’t help but waver slightly at the sight of the giant shadow.

Yang Qingling was even more entranced, softly murmuring, "Is this the... Populus Euphratica Divine Tree? Indeed... it truly deserves the title of a Divine Tree."

In contrast to Yang Qingling, after a moment of emotional wavering, Li Chen’s eyes shone with a completely distinct brilliance.

"Populus Euphratica Divine Tree? Is it any surprise that such a tree would be called a Divine Tree, especially with so much natural protection around it?"

From the massive tree, Li Chen’s Dao Saint level divine soul naturally perceived things beyond Yang Qingling’s awareness.

The aura emanating from this so-called Populus Euphratica Divine Tree wasn’t of an ordinary plant.

Even the most powerful plant has limitations, and top-tier plants may evolve into creatures as powerful as top-level cultivators.

Yet, this giant tree emitted an aura of ’transcendence.’

This transcendent aura was something Li Chen had only ever seen in one other being.

The Eternal World Tree.

And across countless epochs, the Eternal World Tree was also known by another name...

The Seven Divine Trees!
