Liu Sheng and Zhan Tian grow increasingly worried about Chen Xuan, whose whereabouts are unknown days after a major battle. The Hall Master of the Star Hall attempts to divine Chen Xuan's fate but can find no information, only a sense of impending trouble. Zhan Tian vows to find Chen Xuan, heading to the Hidden Forest Abyss. Meanwhile, Chen Xuan successfully breaks through the fifty-fourth aperture, reaching fifty percent of his Sacred Body.

"Is this what fifty percent of the Sacred Body is like?"

Chen Xuan murmured, unable to contain the excitement in his heart.

At this moment, he felt like he could easily smash a Late Stage Level Eight with a single punch.

"Hoo—"

"It’s time to see the top!"

Looking up, at the end of the White Jade Celestial Ladder, a circular ring emitted a gentle green light, which should be the entrance to the top of the Primordial Spirit Wood.

"Go!"

In excitement, Chen Xuan rushed up in an instant, and as soon as he stepped into the ring, familiar spatial fluctuations attacked again.

The scenery in his eyes gradually changed.

"This is the top!"

A narrow space, about the size of a room, and in front of him, a small altar surrounded by small trees over a meter tall.

As he looked above the altar, Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed.

A piece of tree bark, about the size of a palm, with a brown exterior, floated in mid-air, emitting a faint glow.

"Is that really tree bark from the true Primordial Spirit Wood?"

Chen Xuan murmured, and in the next moment, his figure disappeared, reappearing already atop the altar.

"Such an ancient aura!"

The moment he stepped on the altar, the aura from above made him feel a sense of the transience of time.

And there was the unique flavor of being washed by the long river of time.

Suddenly!

Chen Xuan’s expression became dazed, and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at the tree bark again!

"What’s happening?"

When he saw the black hair that fell on his shoulders turning white, his expression changed dramatically.

He then waved his hand, forming a mirror made of space in front of him.

A head full of white hair!

Dried skin, with deep wrinkles across his forehead.

"Impossible!"

Chen Xuan panicked, but in just an instant, he had aged into an old man.

"It’s that!"

Chen Xuan flashed away, leaving the altar.

At the same time, he immediately activated the stored energy in his Dantian, and the majestic Life Qi appeared in his body, causing his white hair and the wrinkles around him to slowly dissipate.

After a long time, he finally recovered.

"That was close!"

Chen Xuan felt as if he had survived a disaster, his gaze slowly moving to the piece of tree bark, fear flashing in his eyes.

In just an instant!

It turned him into an old man, and the most crucial part was that he didn’t sense it at all.

So terrifying!

"What to do?"

Regarding this Primordial Spirit Wood tree bark, only Qingzhou among the Tree-man Race might understand it.

In this situation, he dared not even return to the altar, let alone take the bark.

Suddenly!

He felt a movement in his pocket.

"Hmm?"

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, "Why is it acting up?"

It was the box from Marquis Ning before.

Taking it out from his pocket, the array on the box had actually activated itself, with the runes on it flashing.

Suddenly!

It flew out of Chen Xuan’s hand, heading straight for the tree bark!

As it reached the altar, upon encountering the ancient aura emitted by the bark, it began to vibrate, and the next moment, it spewed out a series of surging auras.

The aura was so intense that even Chen Xuan was startled upon feeling it.

"What on earth did Marquis Ning put inside?"

"Is it really the key to that supreme treasure?"

Chen Xuan murmured internally.

If it was just a key, then it’s terrifying.

If the key is this strong, he dared not imagine the treasure itself.

It’s understandable that even Emperor Yu was tempted by it.

"Boom..."

Just then, the bark above started to vibrate violently, making a loud noise.

But Chen Xuan’s expression turned strange.

For some reason, he felt that the bark was trembling as if it was very afraid of the aura emitted by the box.

"Boom!"

The aura from the box surged again, directly charging at the bark above.

"Bang!"

This aura was like a whip hitting the bark, and in an instant, the bark stopped.

Not daring to make any more movements.

"Uh—"

Chen Xuan was dumbfounded. Could this be happening?

It seemed his speculation was true, the bark was really afraid of the aura from the box.

At this moment, his brows furrowed.

His gaze fell on the box, wondering what on earth it was?

This was the bark of the Primordial Spirit Wood!

Such an ancient thing was suppressed by the aura emitted by the box, and it was very fearful.

What is contained inside... Chen Xuan’s expression became focused, it must be something ancient beyond measure.

"Could it be that?"

Chen Xuan blurted out, with three words surfacing in his mind.

Just as he began to guess, the bark slowly descended, landing on the surface of the box.

Then it lay there quietly.

And the box slowly flew back, arriving in front of Chen Xuan.

"Just like that!?"

Chen Xuan looked at the box and the bark lying on top of it, feeling as if he were dreaming.

Dream or not!

But Chen Xuan’s hand was very honest, reaching out as a Spiritual Power was emitted, coming onto the bark, and then cautiously picking it up.

Previously, the aura emanating from this bark had instantly aged him.

He dared not make direct contact now.

The Spiritual Power in the air brought the bark in front of his eyes, and a blue light flashed in his eyes.

The scene in his eyes changed instantly.

Chen Xuan was shocked.

He actually saw independent spaces within the bark, each of various sizes, but even the smallest one was the size of half a room, and there were thousands of such spaces on the bark.

When Chen Xuan’s sight entered the largest space among them.

Chen Xuan saw a flickering round light point within that space, and the aura it emitted was exactly the same as what he felt on the altar.

This is....!?

"Rule Seed!"

After a moment, Chen Xuan finally saw clearly that it was exactly the same as the Rule Seed of Space that the system had evolved before, only different in shape.
