Chapter 493: Divine Seed!

Divine Garden! Yang Tian's eyelids twitched, a glimmer of light appearing in his eyes, his fists clenching slightly.

“Hmm, this injury is severe; I need a place to recuperate.” The Life Divine Tree was about to leave, its branches swaying, and one after another, precious herbs brimming with vitality fell.

“This…” Yang Tian’s eyes widened. There were fully fifty precious herbs with terrifying medicinal ages, far surpassing the value of Yang Tian’s herb garden—immeasurable.

“Keep these fifty herbs well.” The Divine Tree spoke softly. It hesitated for a long time, then finally sighed: “Since you cultivate the Dao Scripture, perhaps those old fellows will show some leniency.”

“Uh…” Yang Tian only half understood the Divine Tree’s words. As he puzzled over them and excitedly gazed at the herbs on the ground, the Divine Tree slowly spoke: “I have nurtured a divine seed but never planted it, all because of this heaven and earth.”

Divine Seed! Yang Tian’s body tensed abruptly, excitement appearing in his eyes.

The seed of the Divine Tree! This was a Life Divine Tree that had not yet grown. If planted in the Ancestral Dragon Ring, the results would be unimaginable!

“If the divine seed were planted here, its fate would be the same as mine—eternally suppressed. Since you cultivate the Dao Scripture, perhaps you can take it out.” The Divine Tree sighed.

As its voice fell, a crystal-clear, radiant seed descended, emitting powerful divine radiance and containing extremely strong vitality. This seed was the size of a little finger.

Strands of emerald divine light cascaded down. This seed was extraordinary; as soon as it landed, it began to absorb the essence of heaven and earth.

“Hmm, I hope you can take it out.” The Divine Tree was silent for a moment, then spoke: “For this divine seed to germinate, it requires vast amounts of essence and a long span of time.”

Although the Divine Tree did not hold much hope, it did not know that Yang Tian possessed the heaven-defying Ancestral Dragon Ring, which could accelerate cultivation at an astonishing speed.

“Thank you, Senior.” Yang Tian’s heart surged with excitement, his face full of emotion. He cupped his hands and said respectfully.

“You helped me once. Although they cannot detain me, I owe you a favor. Take these divine liquids to nurture the divine seed.” The Divine Tree chuckled lightly. A crystal jade bottle appeared before Yang Tian, and its body vanished into the void.

“Senior… Senior!” Holding the jade bottle, Yang Tian shouted toward the place where it had departed, but it was already far away.

After a long silence, Yang Tian was extremely excited. He never expected to obtain such a great opportunity today. He rubbed his hands together and opened the jade bottle.

A surge of vitality, vast as an ocean, burst forth instantly. Terrifying essence spread, as if a divine tide were about to occur.

Yang Tian’s eyes bulged. Inside were a thousand drops of divine liquid, a priceless treasure.

Rumble! Every pore on his body opened. Deities shrouded in chaotic light sat cross-legged, absorbing this supremely refined vitality, accompanied by the rumbling sound of the Great Dao.

His physical body, which had been stagnant, was now strengthening—slowly, but already astonishingly.

“I will never forget today’s kindness, Senior!” Yang Tian cupped his hands toward the place where the Divine Tree had left, then instantly appeared in the Ancestral Dragon Ring.

His eyes scanned the surroundings. The Divine Tree had said that nurturing it would require immense essence. The number that even the Life Divine Tree found terrifying was surely no small amount.

“Ah, what is this?” Xiao Qing’s gaze immediately fell on the divine seed. Sensing the emanating divine radiance, she couldn’t help asking.

“This is the divine seed of the Life Divine Tree!” Hearing this, Yang Tian smiled and recounted the events at the Ancient Sacred Ground.

“The divine seed of the Life Divine Tree—we’re rich!” Xiao Qing’s eyes sparkled, her small eyelashes fluttering, and a hint of drool appeared at the corner of her mouth. This was a supreme treasure!

“Hmm, let’s plant it here.” Yang Tian’s eyes swept over the colorful medicinal field, surrounded by the pool of Earth Core Milk divine liquid. This place gathered the most essence of heaven and earth.

Yang Tian dug a pit inside and placed the divine seed in it. As soon as he covered it with soil, the essence within the Ancestral Dragon Ring was stirred.

Rumble! The ten directions trembled violently. In an instant, a startling phenomenon occurred: a phantom divine tree appeared in the void, rooted in layers of thunder seas, its branches swaying and shaking the heavens.

The terrifying phenomenon was as if it were creating the world, divine radiance flooding the sky, emitting ten thousand rays of light.

“Ah…” The alarming change startled the Little Divine Herb, which had been sleeping. Its agile eyes widened as it gazed in astonishment at the divine tree.

“This is the seed of the Life Divine Tree!” The Little Divine Herb recognized it and exclaimed in surprise.

Just as Yang Tian was staring at the phenomenon in the void, dumbfounded, all the medicinal herbs planted in the Ancestral Dragon Ring were drained of their essence by a terrifying devouring force.

One by one, the herbs withered and turned to ash, all in an instant.

“This…” Yang Tian rolled his eyes, staring woodenly at the withered herbs, nearly fainting.

This was a disaster! The herbs he had painstakingly planted were all destroyed, their life essence devoured.

“For it to emerge, it needs vast essence. This might not be enough.” The Little Divine Herb frowned, seeming to know well.

Although a thousand herbs were destroyed, the divine tree in the void grew clearer, almost breaking free from the thunder sea and transcending the world.

“Oh no, the medicinal field is ruined!” At that moment, Xiao Qing cried out, her golden eyes wide with indignation.

Xiao Qing stared at the blessed land below. The essence contained within the land had all been absorbed, leaving it ordinary soil.

Seeing this, Yang Tian felt like fainting. The entire Ancestral Dragon Ring was barren; even the Flame Dragon Fruit Tree had been destroyed.

“Oh no, the Earth Core Milk divine liquid is gone!” Looking at the dried-up small pool, Xiao Qing’s eyes bulged with fury. Yang Tian had been reluctant to use those divine liquids, but it had devoured them all.

“This damned divine tree!” Yang Tian nearly spat blood. There had been thousands of drops of divine liquid, all dried up.

Rumble! Heaven and earth shook, thunder roared. The divine tree seemed to be undergoing a tribulation, its essence soaring into the sky, charging into the thunder calamity.

“It needs essence, or it will fail the tribulation!” At this moment, the Little Divine Herb said urgently.

Hearing this, Yang Tian gritted his teeth. A jade bottle appeared in his hand, and drop by drop, Life Divine Liquid dripped into the soil, fully aiding it to break through. Now was not the time to be stingy; lost herbs could be found again.

“Life Divine Liquid!” The Little Divine Herb stared longingly at the divine liquid in the bottle, craving it.

“Let’s deal with this menace first.” Rubbing the Little Divine Herb’s head, Yang Tian said slowly, “I wonder how much will be left?”

Drop by drop, the divine liquid dripped onto the divine tree. The tree grew at an astonishing speed. Its branches swayed gently, shaking the surrounding thunder sea, then burst with dazzling divine radiance, piercing through patches of thunder sea.

Its offensive power was formidable. As more divine liquid dripped into the soil, Yang Tian’s lips grew dry. At this rate, the remaining liquid wouldn’t last long.

“Ao ao…” Xiao Qing hung on Yang Tian’s neck, howling in grievance. So much divine liquid had been consumed by it, and she felt very unbalanced.

Yang Tian wiped the sweat from his brow, looked at the remaining hundred drops, then at the dwindling thunder tribulation.

Clatter! Pills rolled down one after another. These useless pills were all used as nourishment, letting it absorb freely.

“We can’t give it any more!” Xiao Qing said angrily. Although the quality wasn’t high, the Life Divine Tree had eaten too much. All the herbs in the medicinal field had withered—the loss was too great.

The pills were rapidly refined, and Yang Tian took out more precious herbs. These were herbs of terrifying quality, but compared to the divine liquid, they were clearly inferior.

“So many!” Seeing a full twenty herbs, Xiao Qing’s eyes widened.

“It ate them again…” When she saw the herbs lose their life force and quickly wither, Xiao Qing wailed in frustration.

Rumble! The divine tree was terrifying. Ten thousand branches shot out simultaneously, piercing through the thunder tribulation, bathing in endless lightning.

“Still a bit short.” Yang Tian, enduring the pain, buried another ten herbs.

Until a surge of overwhelming life force burst forth from the ground, Yang Tian was drenched in hot sweat.
