Supreme Uprising

Chapter 1244: Nine Turns Of Time And Space And The Dragon Tree Will Appear

“Are you talking about the fabled Hong Meng Dragon Tree?” asked Yuan Venerate Rihui, who had been pondering over this since the beginning.

His eyes lit up when the Hong Meng Dragon Tree was mentioned. Clearly, he was excited.

Luo Yunyang was a rather well-read person in the Taixu Sect but he had never come across any records of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.

Obviously, records of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree were either too old or had been deliberately hidden. No matter what, these two reasons alone were enough to illustrate the value of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.

“The Hong Meng Dragon Tree is merely a legend for our family.” The Nantuo City Lord nodded his head as he spoke.

“My ancestor was a disciple of the Dragon Tree’s master back in those days, but when this master disappeared, he sealed off the Hong Meng Dragon Tree in an undisclosed location.

“I heard that even the Sacred Venerate could not find the whereabouts of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree because of the power of this master’s seal.

“There are several conditions for the Hong Meng Dragon Tree to appear, one of which is dispersing the Sky-Sealing Great Formation.”

After he said that, the Nantuo City Lord added, “Originally, I treated this matter as folklore. However, a few days ago, a leaf from the Hong Meng Dragon Tree we have preserved in Nantuo City was rejuvenated.”

The Nantuo City Lord waved his hand toward the void before a palm-sized turquoise leaf appeared in front of Luo Yunyang.

Luo Yunyang’s eyes lit up when he saw the leaf because there was actually a sky law hidden in it.

Although the sky law was still very faint and was only considered a sapling, it would still be able to turn into a realm of its own as long as it could grow.

This was a complete realm that contained sky laws!

Most of the Yuan Venerates stared at the leaf in envy, as they knew that the leaf was actually a ticket they could use to become Taiyi Yuan Venerates.

They had no need for this, but their juniors and disciples would benefit greatly from this leaf!

“No wonder Nantuo City has been handed down for so many years without any problems. It’s all because it has a leaf of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree,” a tall Yuan Venerate said with lament.

Upon hearing that, the Nantuo City Lord sighed as well and said, “The Nantuo City Patriarch only managed to obtain six leaves. This is the final piece.”

“While the leaves are useful to improve the cultivation of a martialist to the Yuan Venerate level, those that use it will find it very tough to improve again! Take the former patriarchs of Nantuo City for example. All their cultivations have stagnated ever since they became Taiyi Yuan Venerates.”

Luo Yunyang stretched out his hand and the leaf flew toward him.

If someone else were to reach out for the leaf, the Nantuo City Lord would surely assume that they wanted to steal it. However, Luo Yunyang was different.

He would still present the leaf to Luo Yunyang if Luo Yunyang wanted it, no matter how unwilling he was.

While holding the leaf in his hand, Luo Yunyang felt a gush of vitality surging toward him. However, this surge of vitality was not of great use to him. He was more intrigued by the message embedded inside the leaf.

An indiscernible yet real message was embedded in the leaf.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to know where this message had come from, even though he could sense it.

The Samsara Wheel was Luo Yunyang’s first thought. Although he did not know whether the Samsara Wheel could improve the connection between him and the message, there was no harm in trying.

Right away, the Samsara Wheel appeared around the leaf. As it revolved around it, the indiscernible message inside became crystal-clear.

A small tree about 10 feet in height exuding Chaos Qi aura was erected in the middle of the void. The void appeared to be at a standstill, but through the Samsara Wheel, Luo Yunyang was able to sense the intricacies of multiple levels encapsulated within the void.

He felt as though the small tree was another realm when he saw it.

A realm much stronger than the realm of the leaf.

However, Luo Yunyang paid more attention to the three reddish fruits hanging from the small tree.

Each of the three fruits contained a sky law that was not that different from the sky law within the small tree.

Just as Luo Yunyang was about to continue investigating the small tree, a tingling sensation attacked his mind.

Insufficient mind power!

Luo Yunyang knew that he would get hurt if he continued his investigation so he hurriedly retracted his Samsara Wheel. The leaf of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree appeared greener than before Luo Yunyang had taken it.

“I wonder if I can borrow this leaf for a while?” Luo Yunyang asked the Nantuo City Lord as he fiddled with the leaf.

The Nantuo City Lord was a little reluctant, but he knew that he did not have the ability to say no to Luo Yunyang.

Although the Hong Meng Dragon Tree was a rare opportunity, it was merely a useless object that would harm him if he did not have the ability to hold on to it.

After thinking about the consequences, the Nantuo City Lord immediately said, “Alliance Leader, feel free to take the leaf of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree. This is nothing compared to the great kindness you have shown by rescuing Nantuo City.”

Luo Yunyang, who was very satisfied with the Nantuo City Lord’s straightforwardness, also replied politely, “It’s my responsibility to help Nantuo City. As for the leaf of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree, I am only using it for the time being. I will return more than I asked for when the Hong Meng Dragon Tree appears.”

Luo Yunyang meant that he would return more leaves to Nantuo City. Thus, the Nantuo City Lord was delighted to hear Luo Yunyang’s promise.

It would be great if the news of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree did not spread out of Nantuo City, but if it did, there would be a disaster.

Although it was true that he was a Yuan Venerate, he was nothing compared to the enemy he was about to face. Without Luo Yunyang’s help this time, he would have lost his life along with the Hong Meng Dragon Tree.

Yuan Monarch Xingyuan of the Taixu Sect was not an easy person to deal with.

While Luo Yunyang was relying on the leaf to investigate the whereabouts of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree, an exalted figure sat high in a void brimming with abstruse yet scared intent.

The void where the figure resided was a special space. None of the nine sky laws in the Vast Sky Sacred Realm could be found there except for two special sky laws that only belonged in this space.

“Greetings, Yuan Sage!” Yuan Venerate Liaozhen acted extremely unruly on Mountain Xiluo but he was like a timid kitten in this place, treating the exalted figure who sat high above him very respectfully.

“Have you completed your task?” Yuan Sage Wuxiang, who was sitting high above, asked with no trace of emotion in his tone.

Yuan Venerate Liaozhen was a low-level disciple of the supreme figure in front of him but also understood this person’s temperament. Thus, he hastily knelt down and pleaded. “Yuan Venerate Rihui and Yuan Venerate Yueyao already surrendered when I warned them about the consequences. Suddenly, a person who calls himself Yuan Monarch Yunyang came and was more than I could handle.

“I was a disgrace who embarrassed the Patriarch. I hope the Patriarch can allow me to atone for my sins.”

“Yuan Monarch Yunyang!” Yuan Sage Wuxiang frowned slightly before flicking his sleeves to reveal a projection of what had happened to Yuan Venerate Liaozhen in the void.

In this projection, the images of Yuan Venerate Liaozhen, Yuan Venerate Yueyao, and Yuan Venerate Rihui were crystal-clear. However, Luo Yunyang’s image was blurry.

It could even be said that the figure of Luo Yunyang did not appear in the projection at all. All that was visible in the projection was merely a light and a shadow cast over Luo Yunyang’s figure.

“Interesting! I knew it would not be easy for me to obtain the Hong Meng Dragon Tree,” said Yuan Sage Wuxiang lightly.

“Alright, you can step down for the time being!”

Yuan Sage Wuxiang’s relaxed bearing lifted the heaviness in Yuan Venerate Liaozhen’s heart. He thought that he would certainly be punished this time. He had never expected that his Ancestral Master would let him off that easily.

“Ancestral Master, what do you think of Yuan Monarch Yunyang?”

“I have my own plans for him. I don’t need you to remind me. Why aren’t you heading back? Do you want to have a taste of my Icy Flame Prison?” While Yuan Sage Wuxiang’s tone had not changed much, his imposing bearing still made Yuan Venerate Liaozhen shudder in fear.

“Please don’t! Your disciple will leave now!”

Yuan Venerate Liaozhen left this space in a hurry after pleading for mercy. Yuan Sage Wuxiang then drew a circle in the void lightly with his hand and the shadow of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree appeared right away in the middle of the circle.

However, the shadow of the Hong Meng Dragon Tree that appeared in front of Yuan Sage Wuxiang was blurrier than the one reflected by Luo Yunyang.

“Nine turns of time and space and the dragon tree will appear.”

After Yuan Sage Wuxiang mumbled to himself, he disappeared into the void, leaving only a long sigh behind.

In a different void, Luo Shaochong, who was cultivating hard, suddenly heard the voice of his master. “I need to make a trip. Disciple, make sure you work hard on your cultivation.”

Luo Shaochong had already developed a strong connection to Yuan Sage Shending. When he heard that his master was heading out, he couldn’t help asking, “Master, where are you going?”

“Ha ha… The Hong Meng Dragon Tree will appear soon. I definitely want to join in the fun!”

…

In the endless silence, an arm had almost completely been freed off from its suppression while its five fingers cheered vividly in the void.

Then, the mountains began to crumble and shatter!
