Boom!

A surge of blue flames instantly submerged all the Tree Monsters, yes, all of them, every single Tree Monster!

Tens of thousands of Tree Monsters, at this moment, all began to struggle intensely, and then became frantic, like a group of tree people dancing in the flames.

Various roaring sounds were just like muffled thunder, rumbling on.

In the void, the divine sense danced chaotically. This was the ultimate madness, the final roar.

In an instant, numerous specks of light flew towards that golden sapling, which could no longer hold back! It began to retract all of its true spirits!

As the specks of light departed, the Tree Monsters approached death even more swiftly. Almost instantly, they were completely engulfed by the Samadhi Real Fire. The vast essence energy made the Samadhi Real Fire even more magnificent, like a mountain of flames!

The blue flames, soaring straight to the Nine Nether!

Such a scene, even visible from thousands of miles away!

Countless people were so overawed that they knelt to the ground, worshipping the terrifying blue flames.

With the influx of a large amount of light, the golden sapling that had been chopped down to its roots by Chu Mo, suddenly soared in size, transforming into a towering tree that shone with golden splendor. At the same time, the overpowering divine sense of the Tree Patriarch pressed down on Chu Mo like a blanket, aiming directly for Chu Mo's mental sea!

This meant to completely obliterate Chu Mo.

In the mental sea of Chu Mo, a figure sat cross-legged, that was Chu Mo's second primordial spirit.

In this moment, the second primordial spirit suddenly opened its eyes, shooting out two beams of divine light. An endless Great Dao aura surrounded the second primordial spirit.

The divine sense that rushed into Chu Mo's mental sea roared and sneered, "Kid, you don't want the venerable one to end well, you shouldn't think of ending well yourself! Today, let's perish together!"

"Perish together?" In the mental sea of Chu Mo, the second primordial spirit chuckled coldly, "It's you who dies, I live!"

The second primordial spirit made a move directly. With a move, it was the crushing of the Great Dao, the way, ablaze with passion!

In an instant, it turned into a sky full of Dao flames, grilling the divine sense of the Tree Patriarch, burning that divine sense directly into ashes, then transforming into Dao runes, branding themselves within Chu Mo's mental sea.

Forcibly seizing the fruits of Dao!

This method was simply heaven-defying!

"Impossible! How could you, who hasn't even reached the supreme realm, possess the way of the Great Sages?" The divine sense of the Tree Patriarch was so shocked that it almost lost the ability to think, roaring loudly. However, then it realized it had still underestimated this level of cultivation. It exclaimed, "This, this is even higher than the way of the Sages... What power is this? This is impossible!"

Chu Mo's second primordial spirit watched coldly the sky full of Dao flames in the mental sea space, "This is my future Dao!"

"Future Dao... What kind of Dao is that?" The divine sense of the Tree Patriarch, almost completely burned away in an instant, left with just a lingering bit, asked with reluctance.

"Not telling you." Chu Mo's second primordial spirit sneered, waving a hand, even more majestic Dao flames completely submerged the Tree Patriarch's divine sense that rushed into Chu Mo's mental sea.

The just-grown golden towering ancient tree instantly shrank countless times... once again, turning into a three-inch tall sapling. Almost all of its cultivation was forcibly plundered by this young man before its eyes.

It was in utter shock, "looking" at Chu Mo and asking, "You... you have the blood of that race flowing within you? You are… you are..."

Whoosh!

A streak of red light flashed past, Heaven Slaying emerges!

The three-and-a-bit inch tall golden sapling was directly split open, and then, the remaining little bit of fruits of Dao, were completely plundered by Heaven Slaying.

In the last moment, the Tree Patriarch seemed to finally understand something, its divine sense drifting in this void, "I finally know... who you are."

The Tree Patriarch fell!

This was an existence that had transcended the Supreme Realm!

If it hadn't been in this sealed land, Chu Mo would certainly not be its opponent.

It seemed easy and delightful for the Samadhi Real Fire to burn those Tree Monsters. In fact, the truly terrifying thing was this golden Tree Patriarch!

This might be, a being of the level of a Great Saint.

Chu Mo suddenly realized many things. This Tree Patriarch was probably from the start, a plant cultivator that had been sealed in this world. Together with the ancestors of those humans, sealed in here. And the bloodline of the Luotian Imperial Clan has a fundamental restraint on the Tree Patriarch!

Let alone a cultivator of Chu Mo's level, even an ordinary Great Saint Realm cultivator from the Luotian Imperial Clan wouldn't be an opponent for the Tree Patriarch here!

However, the fight would be very difficult.

This must be a gift left to himself by his mother, right?

As Chu Mo spoke, he began to assimilate the Dao of the Tree Patriarch in his mental sea, at the same time, he was also looking for some clues to see if his deductions were correct.

Chu Mo sat cross-legged, appearing to be in cultivation. The Samadhi Real Fire was still burning vigorously. There were too many Tree Monsters, and their essence energy was too abundant. It needed to be refined and devoured bit by bit. This was not something that could be completed in a short time.

But time is plentiful, and with such a "Flame Mountain" here, ordinary beings must halt their approach miles away, utterly unable to come close.

Chu Mo continuously refined the Dao fruits in the Tree Patriarch left within his spiritual sea of consciousness.

"Indeed, a genuine Great Saint!"

"Indeed, a gift my mother left for me!"

"So that's how it is."

As Chu Mo refined more of the Tree Patriarch's Dao fruits, he became privy to more and more knowledge.

This Tree Patriarch was an elder ancestor among the Tree Monster clan.

Tree Monsters are exceptionally treacherous plant beings that primarily sustain themselves by absorbing the essence energy of other creatures. Of course, in the Cultivation Realm, Tree Monsters mostly absorb the essence energy of Heaven and Earth. Being plant-based cultivators, they are inherently weaker in combat. Without significant confidence, they dare not prey on other beings, let alone humans.

This Tree Patriarch had indeed practiced Buddhism and had deeply grasped some of Buddhism's essence. Posing as an enlightened Buddhist monk was effortless for it. Moreover, the Tree Patriarch knew that beings in this world were unaware of Buddhism, but outsiders, particularly those cultivators from other domains, were well-informed about Buddhism and deeply understood its teachings.

Thus, by presenting itself as an enlightened Buddhist figure in front of these outsiders, it could essentially gain the trust of these outsiders. And then... it would await opportunities to kill them!

To the Tree Patriarch, the essences carried by outsiders were not of utmost importance; what it truly valued were the outsiders' Dao fruits and their memories!

The Tree Monster clan possesses a terrifying ability; they can not only absorb the essence energy of other beings but also plunder their Dao fruits and even acquire certain memories!

Memories represent secrets and information!

Though the memories obtained each time were incomplete, in this way, it could always keep abreast of various information from the outside world.

Imprisoned in this world and unable to leave, it was, after all, a Great Saint-level being. It longed to leave this cursed world and achieve absolute freedom. Thus, it dispersed itself into millions of Tree Monsters, planning, through nurturing, to use the entire human population of this world as its nutrients.

One day, it would utilize this method to break through to the Great Saint Realm and evolve into a Great Saint-level being. By then, the seal of this world would no longer be able to contain it!

As for the humans of this world, their ancestors were all sinners from the Luotian Imperial Clan with powerful strength. They were sinners, but their sins were not to the extent of deserving death. Therefore, they were exiled to this place.

Looking back, the powerful being from the Luotian Imperial Clan who sealed this place was truly ruthless. He first exiled the Tree Patriarch and those people here, then rewrote the rules of Heaven and Earth in this place. Initially making it so that all creatures appearing here were unable to use divine abilities or exhibit their Dao cultivation. Then, he left a backdoor - all descendants of the Luotian Imperial Clan bloodline are invincible in this place!

This was harsh and seemingly selfish. But compared to the sins committed by those who were exiled here, this measure was not excessive. It could even be described as rather merciful.

Afterward, that powerful being changed the rules of Heaven and Earth again, making all essence energy circulate only in the human body!

This is why newly born babies carry vast essence energy. Although they cannot cultivate, they can live for tens of thousands of years.

For those who know the truth, this is indeed a great and painful torment, truly worse than death!

Because you know very well that you have the power to soar through the skies and traverse the earth, to easily Picking Stars and Catching Moon, to turn rivers upside down, you can even overturn a universe of stars. But here, you can only live as an ordinary person, with a long life expectancy!

Every day is immense torture!

Back then, countless criminals were driven insane by such torment, ultimately collapsing into suicide.

Their descendants also learned of this matter through their forebears, experiencing their own breakdown. Thus, after many years, someone suggested that this could not go on. Otherwise, their offspring would live in that shadow forever, generation after generation.

That time, it was the only occasion in this world where everyone reached a consensus: to never mention anything about cultivation or the deeds of their ancestors to the younger generations!

Whoever dared to mention it would have their Nine Clans exterminated!

In this way, as the relentless river of time flowed, this secret was finally submerged.

This is also why the people of the small river village knew about outsiders but were completely unaware of the outside world, let alone the secrets within themselves.

For outsiders who managed to break into this place, none would be so idle as to mention this matter to the natives.

And all along, this ancestor of the Tree Monsters was aware of this secret!

However, it only wanted to use this secret to realize its nefarious plans. It wanted to leave this place. For that reason, it devised that massive scheme.

Little did it expect that all of its plans would be thwarted by a young member of a later generation.

The scroll that could enter this place had always been in Ji Qingyu's hands. When she was making various preparations in past years, she gave the scroll to Ling Yuwei and urged her that the scroll could only be used by Chu Mo alone!

Because only Chu Mo's Imperial Clan bloodline could suppress this place!

Nobody on the Luotian Imperial Clan's side would have thought that Ji Qingyu had such a scroll in her possession, and even less would they guess that she had foreseen this step, turning this place into a stepping stone for her son!

A stepping stone to the Trial Field... a huge stepping stone to the Luotian Immortal Domain!

All of this, Ji Qingyu did not detail to Ling Yuwei, but at this moment, the perfect tacit understanding between Chu Mo and his mother was fully revealed.

No one needed to tell him, he already understood.

"Mom, thank you. I won't let you down!" Chu Mo stood up, looking into the distance, took a deep breath, clenched his fists, his gaze becoming exceptionally determined.
