Chapter 876 - 647: Thousand-Year Tree (Part 3)
Ink Orchid closely followed, simultaneously asking: "Huagi Divine Tree, does Dangling Gauze Mountain have a Divine God-Given Seed? Is it possible to leave one behind?"
Huagi Divine Tree pondered for two seconds, then said: "A fully enclosed tribe with almost no interaction with the outside world. We speculate there might be one or two trees, but Ink Orchid Mantis King, you and Dragon Cypress Ant King have explored many major tribal relics, you should know the situation better than I do."
Ink Orchid: "Indeed—"
The Dominating Throne sped off.
…
…
In the early morning after heavy rain.
The Dominating Throne hovered ten thousand meters high.
Ink Orchid followed Dragon Cypress, simultaneously activating Scorching and Soul-Setting Abilities to observe.
Frequently changing positions.
Two days later,
Dragon Cypress controlled the Dominating Throne to descend, flying horizontally over the mountains, stopping at the peak of a large mountain.
Dense mountain forests, deep ravines, and hidden valleys.
"Dragon Cypress, is this the mountain?"
"Not sure."
"Exactly. I see several mountains that look similar."
"Second King, what do you suggest?"
The location of the exit is unclear.
Ink Orchid waved its claw, calling out: "Ivy, you help out too, let's search separately!"
Ivy was equally enthusiastic about excavating relics to find treasures, responding firmly: "Following Second King's orders!"
"I'll go to that side! Ivy, you go over there! Dragon Cypress, you... deal with your own section."
Ink Orchid instructed and allocated tasks, kicking off and spreading wings to glide, heading toward the better-lit southeastern mountainside.
Ink Orchid was meticulous, choosing the best vantage point for itself. From past experience, Insect Clan Warriors preferred to make nest openings in such sunny positions.
Dragon Cypress observed in a circle, then swiftly descended towards the northern canyon.
Ivy ignored Ink Orchid's directions and instead glided, following Dragon Cypress and landing at the bottom of the valley.
Surveying all around, discovering nothing.
Separating to check.
Both Dragon Cypress and Ivy had Earth Talents, their tentacles touching the ground, initiating Earth System Abilities to perceive.
"Great King, here~"
Soon, Ivy discovered something in the slope forest slightly above the valley floor.
Primordial Energy burst forth, the earth rolled back, revealing a large metal door.
Dragon Cypress hurried over; one glance and it was clear the door was dismantled from the Starship, with its integrity fairly intact.
Ivy pushed with a claw, the door remained immovable.
The internal mechanism with secret locks was preserved.
Dragon Cypress sensed with a claw, discerning and hacking the internal structure, Metal Ability activated, accompanied by crisp sounds of cracking, the door was pushed open.
Behind was a hemispherical spacious cave.
Centrally stood a large metal case approximately 3 meters high, 1.8 meters wide, and 1.2 meters thick.
Like most relics, the surrounding murals, along with symbols, recorded the heritage information of the Long Yama Beetle Tribe.
In front of the large metal case, a special piece of jade-green stone slab was laid, along with illustrations, albeit simply describing ways to open the metal case and how to use the 'Thousand-Year Tree.'
Below, a conspicuous row of intricate symbols from Flame Spider Roving Merchant Tribe read: [Treasure heritage of Long Yama Beetle Tribe, left for destined insects]
Ivy probed the super-large metal case with a claw.
Not heavy.
Using both tentacles and claws, carefully laying it flat.
The metal case was entirely silver-white; on the front, a square black area was positioned in the middle.
Injecting Earth Primordial Energy.
The black area illuminated, emanating a dim yellow glow.
Ivy bowed its head, extending its tongue, licking the bright area twice.
The light screen seemed to have gathered bloodline information and, for unknown reasons, was able to verify it.
The metal case clicked twice crisply, autonomously opening, inside lay a small green metallic tree.
"Dragon Cypress Ant King, the Thousand-Year Tree!"
Ivy's eyes gleamed with satisfaction, its deep-toned voice barely concealing joy.
"Ivy, well done!"
"I'll go tell Second King!"
"No need. Let it slowly figure things out on its own."
Dragon Cypress reviewed the surroundings, scanning with spiritual power.
No hidden passageways.
Ivy used a claw to erase the artwork on the jade stone floor.
Dragon Cypress activated Metal System Ability, painstakingly dismantling the metal door.
Second King finally noticed the commotion and arrived, stunned for two seconds, then suddenly realized, exasperated:
"I forgot, Long Yama Beetle is a naturally dark insect, their caves must be in shadowy valleys."
Followed by a cheer: "Thousand-Year Tree? Found it? Wow! The metal case is still intact!"
Dragon Cypress: "Quickly handle it, I don't feel assured about Rainbow Island over there. First send this Thousand-Year Tree to the Purple Tung Insect Nation, let Huagi, Linnan, and Quandong's three Divine Trees inspect it."
——Alright!
Ivy closed the metal case lid, injecting Earth Primordial Energy, metal mechanism operation sounds echoed internally.
The case locked shut.
Ink Orchid activated Water System Ability, controlling a stream to transport it, placing it onto the Dominating Throne.
Rechecking the cave, no other discoveries.
Dragon Cypress swiftly dismantled the metal door.
Not lingering, tidying up, setting out to return.
...
Late night.
Purple Tung Insect Nation.
Under the Huagi Tree.
Ink Orchid displayed a serious demeanor, showing the metal case.
The three Divine Trees of Huagi Mountain were witnessing the Thousand-Year Tree in its real form for the first time.
a moment of silent examination.
Linnan Divine Tree eagerly said: "Let me try!"
After speaking, controlling it with spiritual power, the Thousand-Year Tree floated up rapidly, arriving before Linnan Divine Tree's main trunk.
Next moment, Linnan Divine Tree lamented: "No good! This thing actually repels my fused God-Level Shining Gold..."
God-Level Shining Gold blocks Natural Law, Linnan Divine Tree's evolution surpassed King-Level.
Once God-Level Shining Gold is abandoned, Linnan Divine Tree would be immediately reverted to Tree Heart form, evolution level would fall back to King-Level.
To restore it, there would be a need for a long time and massive accumulation.
