Chapter 362 The Sacred Ancient Tree
The surrounding demons felt a chill and immediately took two steps back, watching the young scholar warily.
"Don't worry, I don't have that ability now. Due to the restrictions here, you can still go in and explore."
Stared at by so many demons, the young scholar sneered, his words laced with sarcasm, and waved his hand.
"Within this ancient hall lies the River of Sacred Path. This is not for you to absorb, but rather a test created by your teacher using his own Sacred Path power. Only by passing through this River of Sacred Path can you enter the Sacred Path, find the Sacred Ancient Tree, and obtain its power. If you fail to pass through, you will be stuck here forever."
The young scholar spoke slowly.
"Isn't this cheating? What we demons and monsters fear most is the power of the Holy Path, and yet there is such power here! Doesn't this mean we've come all this way for nothing?"
Upon hearing this, the demon leader's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he then spoke in a deep voice.
"Hmph, you weren't allowed to come here on the Holy Road in the first place. You're not strong enough, yet you still dare to dream of seizing treasures. Who can you blame for that?"
The young scholar seemed quite disliked these people, and said coldly.
After being rebuked, the demon leader dared not speak, fearing that he might anger the other party and be killed.
"Whoever has the ability, come in now. I'm not waiting for you."
The young scholar glanced at Ye Ru, seemingly quite impressed, then turned and left, gradually disappearing into the darkness.
"Brother Ye, would you dare to come with me? That Sacred Ancient Tree is a very valuable thing."
Guan Hai smiled at Ye Ru, seemingly eager to try. His teacher had specifically instructed him to enter the Sacred Ancient Tree and seize the Sacred Leaf.
What is the Sacred Ancient Tree?
Ye Ru couldn't help but ask a question in return.
"Every Sage City has this Sacred Tree. It is irrigated with the power of the Sages who guard each generation. It takes a hundred years to sprout, a hundred years to grow into a tree, and a hundred years to bloom. The Sacred Power within it is enough to cover the entire Sage City from attack. But I heard that the Sacred Tree in this Sage City stopped growing because that Ghost Scholar secretly watered it with the Black River."
Guan Hai pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
"Moreover, this Sacred Leaf is different from that Sacred Page. This is a rare and precious treasure, possessing the miraculous effects of reviving the dead and restoring flesh to bones. It is a natural enemy of demons and poisons. Therefore, this place is the core of the entire Sage City. Do you understand?"
“I’ve learned something. Let’s go and see who can last the longest in this River of Sacred Path.”
Ye Ru nodded, then suddenly raised his gaze to the inside of the bronze gate, which resembled the gaping maw of a prehistoric beast, and laughed loudly.
Since this sacred leaf can counteract poisons, it is possible to form a protective army of its own and entrust it to Chen Tianjian's command. If war breaks out, this army will definitely become a sharp sword piercing the belly of the demon race!
"Then I'll go in first."
Nodding, Guan Hai stomped his foot hard, instantly transforming into a streak of light and rushing towards its interior.
"We must obtain the Sacred Leaf, and we must also receive the Sacred Initiation from the Sacred Ancient Tree."
Han Fengxian's gaze also narrowed slightly, then he glared at Ye Ru with resentment, before stepping over Ye Ru and rushing inside.
When the others saw the two people go in, they stirred for a moment, and some people who thought they were somewhat knowledgeable also went in.
"The Demonic Path, should we go too?"
A demon spoke in a deep voice to the demon leader named Demon Path.
After a moment's hesitation, the demon leader seemed to realize that the benefits of this journey to the Holy Road outweighed the drawbacks. He gritted his teeth and then nodded firmly.
“Let’s go too, and try to get our hands on that Sacred Ancient Tree. We can’t let the human race get it. I think the Sacred River isn’t that difficult, as long as we’re careful.”
"I will go into the Sacred Ancient Tree with Mo Xiu's magic power. You will stay here and guard it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the demon leader stomped his foot and rushed directly toward the gate.
As some people entered the ancient hall, Ye Ru slowly said to Li Xunfeng:
"Brother Li, Brother Ye, would you be interested in coming in with me to explore?"
"I won't go. I've almost used up all my magical artifacts, and the path to sainthood is dangerous. I think it's more appropriate to risk my life fighting the demon race."
Ye Ling gave a wry smile and said.
“I will go with you.”
Li Xunfeng said.
"Alright, Brother Ye, stay here and keep an eye on the demons' movements. Be careful when we return."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru nodded, then exchanged a glance with Li Xunfeng, and bowed to Long Shang, saying:
"Brother Long, let's go in first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed inside.
"Your Highness, the power of the Holy Path in this River of Sacred Paths seems rather dangerous. Shall we stay here or continue deeper into the river?"
Beside Long Shang, a member of the dragon clan spoke in a deep voice.
This sacred path was specially prepared for humans, and they have already committed a grave taboo by entering it. Who knows what they might encounter after entering?
"Let's go in and take a look. Let the dragons stay here and keep a close eye on the movements of the demon and monster races. These two are cunning, especially Yao Xue. Although she is seriously injured, no one knows when she will recover."
"Once it is restored, I'm afraid both the dragons and humans here will be wiped out."
Long Shang pondered for a moment, then spoke to the man.
Without Ye Ru and his own restraint, once Yao Xue recovers, the people here will likely face annihilation.
The next moment, the dragon power within Long Shang's body began to slowly increase, eventually transforming into a golden shield that completely enveloped him. Then, he slowly walked into it as well.
After the last person walked out of the ancient bronze gate, the latter slowly closed the door, leaving the four clans wary of each other.
Everyone knows that without a leader, the four tribes together will inevitably descend into chaos sooner or later.
"Ye Ru, rest assured, I, Yao Xue, will absolutely not swallow this humiliation."
The moment the door closed, Yao Xue, who had kept his eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened them. His eyes were filled with a cold glint, and he lowered his head and murmured...
In the darkness, Ye Ru and many people from the four clans continued walking. About ten minutes later, a glimmer of light appeared in their eyes and then grew larger and larger.
Once they were completely out, the towering mountains before them left Ye Ru and the others utterly shocked.
In the distance, a large mountain could be seen, and from its summit, countless torrents poured down, each surge instantly shattering the boulders below.
"Welcome to the Holy Path. Many dangers lurk along this path. Whether you compose poetry or utilize literary treasures, as long as you reach the summit, you will see the ancient sacred tree, therefore..."
The young scholar appeared on a large rock in the distance at some point, then smiled slightly at the crowd:
"Gentlemen, let's move forward!"
