Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2058 - 2154: Infinite Potential

At the rear section of the Matriarch River.

Su Chen finds himself in a state of profound mystery.

He has successfully absorbed the Heart of the Mother River.

It had taken Su Chen a full ten days to locate the Heart of the Mother River, and even then, it was with Xi’s assistance.

Contrary to Su Chen’s expectations of a crystal or gem-like object, the Heart of the Mother River manifested as a tree!

This tree had conjured its own dimension, comprising the three distinct sections of the Mother River: the front, middle, and rear. The Crystals of the Mother River within these spaces were analogous to the leaves of this colossal tree.

And this tree was alive, pulsating with life.

Xi revealed that this Mother River Tree is, in fact, the Minor World Tree.

A World Tree is a supreme treasure, a relic from the age of prehistoric civilizations.

What constitutes a prehistoric civilization? It predates even the Ancient Times, the Primordial Ancient Times, and the Chaotic Era.

Everything from these prehistoric civilizations—be it beings, armaments, or life forms—represented the absolute apex of existence. If transported to the current epoch, they would invariably become the genesis of universes, entities of Ancestor Level.

The acquisition of a World Tree is, therefore, an unparalleled, heaven-defying boon!

Such a monumental gain was enough to stagger even Xi, let alone Old Dragon, Jiuyou, or Su Chen himself...

According to Xi, the worth of a World Tree rivals that of the Divine Mansion and even the Ancient Soul Ancestral Vein that Su Chen currently possesses.

"Should this Minor World Tree mature into a Great World Tree and be integrated within your Divine Mansion, venerable Big Brother, your Divine Mansion's ultimate form will transcend the Nine Turns Chaos Divine Mansion, evolving into the Origin Divine Mansion!"

What, then, is Origin? It is the fundamental source from which all things spring.

Even when tracing back through the chaotic, ancient, and primordial epochs, there lies a singular origin.

To illustrate, the Primordial Ancient Times, Ancient Times, and Chaotic Era could be likened to the first human figures in the grand river of history, while the origin of prehistoric civilization is akin to a single cell. Cells undergo constant division and fusion, ultimately giving rise to the first person.

Once the Divine Mansion undergoes this metamorphosis from Chaos Divine Mansion to Origin Divine Mansion, its tier would ascend beyond Heavenly Treasure status, granting it unfathomable power. For instance, the current Chaos Divine Mansion lacks the capacity to refine and assimilate energies like Divine Demon Ghost Fire or Chaotic Divine Thunder, as they exist on an equivalent level.

However, an Origin Divine Mansion would possess the inherent ability to directly refine and absorb such potent forces.

Furthermore, upon its transformation, the ethereal flow emanating from the Divine Mansion would cease to be chaotic airflow, instead becoming origin airflow—a form far more potent and pure than its chaotic predecessor.

Alas, all these incredible advancements hinge on the Minor World Tree successfully growing into a Great World Tree.

At its inception, the Minor World Tree is little more than an infant.

Conversely, the Great World Tree represents a fully mature entity.

Nurturing an infant to full maturity is, as one might expect, no simple undertaking.

"It requires the absorption of a substantial quantity of prehistoric civilization's aura to facilitate the Minor World Tree’s metamorphosis into the Great World Tree."

This presents an exceedingly formidable challenge.

The reason?

Consider the current era.

Billions of years have elapsed since the Primordial Ancient Times, the Ancient Times, and the Dawn of Chaos. Even traces of ancient aura from those epochs are now exceedingly rare, found only within a select few Heavenly Treasures and among Ancestral Reversion Behemoths.

The aura of prehistoric civilization is even more elusive.

To acquire such an aura, one must first locate remnants or artifacts from prehistoric civilization itself...

A task akin to scaling the heavens.

Yet, what if an opportunity to encounter such a treasure arises in the future?

If such a chance arises, it would be akin to ascending to the heavens in a single leap, wouldn't it?

Therefore, for the present moment, the Minor World Tree offers Su Chen no immediate benefit. Nevertheless, he absorbs and devours it with utmost solemnity, awaiting the fortuitous day of its potential awakening.

Time marches on, second by second, minute by minute.

In due course.

Nearly an entire day has transpired.

Su Chen’s eyes fluttered open.

The experience of assimilating the Minor World Tree was profoundly mystical, akin to witnessing a 3D IMAX spectacle and journeying into the very heart of prehistoric civilization.

Its vastness, its serenity, its inherent vitality, its pristine freshness—these sensations defied mere words.

They became indelibly etched upon his very soul.

He perceived that both his Divine Soul and his State of Mind had undergone a purification, a spiritual baptism of sorts.

"Young lad Su, how do you feel?" Jiuyou inquired.

"Very good," Su Chen replied with a smile. "While this Crystal of the Mother River may not be the immediate power-boosting treasure I envisioned, its value lies in its potential, its boundless promise. I have a premonition that, in time, I shall absorb sufficient prehistoric aura to transform it into the Great World Tree."

"Big Brother, if your Divine Mansion one day becomes the Origin Divine Mansion, I can invite you to my hometown then," Xi stated with gravity.

Su Chen's eyes brightened with curiosity. "Xi, has your memory recovered more? Do you now understand your origins and your family?"

"I have some vague notions."

"It sounds like your hometown is quite powerful!"

Following this, Su Chen raised his head, murmuring to himself, "It is time to depart."

Even though the Mother River Crystal had not yet boosted Su Chen's power, he had already reached the Half-Step Divine Master Realm. He felt confident that with his full strength, he could instantly eliminate any Martial Cultivator below the Fifth Level of the Divine Lord Realm. This was more than enough to attend Fei Jin's so-called grand wedding.

—

The Imperial Realm buzzed with a festive and lively atmosphere today.

Fiery red lanterns, adorned with Blood Essence Stones and Extreme Flame Wicks, were hung all around the cave entrances on both the Front and Rear Mountains of the Di Family.

A truly magnificent display.

Undeniably, a grand spectacle.

In the early morning hours, Di Jie, leading the Di Family's direct descendants, proceeded to the Ancestor Pavilion to pay respects to their forebears.

Di Jie was clad in a fitting blue robe, and the malevolent Qi emanating from his stern face had significantly subsided.

Accompanying Di Jie were several direct family members of the Di Family, but they appeared rather disheartened, as none among them had ascended beyond the Human Lord Realm.

"Di Ji, Di You, how are the preparations progressing?" After the solemn ancestor worship concluded, Di Jie addressed the two middle-aged men trailing behind him, a slight frown creasing his brow.

These two individuals served as stewards for the Di Family, each possessing cultivation at the Half-Step Human Sovereign Realm.

Di Jie had made arrangements to accompany Di Ji and Di You to the Hu Family today.

As the bride's family, when the Young Master of the Hu Family, Hu Zong, arrived with his entourage to escort the bride, Di Jie, in his capacity as the father-in-law, was expected to lead a contingent from the bride's family to the wedding ceremony at the Hu Family's estate.

Several months prior, Di Jie had envisioned bringing along esteemed elders such as Di Kuang, Di Ge, and others for his daughter's significant wedding day.

The marriage between the Di Family's daughter and the young master of the Hu Family was clearly a strategic move to ascend socially.

Acting as the bride's family, Di Jie understood that upon their arrival at the Hu Family's residence for the wedding, they would likely face ridicule and might even become the target of amusement.
