Chapter 552: Small Golden Tree

Lin Xun was somewhat dazed.

He observed his surroundings and found that there were giant ancient trees everywhere. Each tree looked as if it would take seven or eight people to encircle. The trees old bark was cracked and split, making it resemble a dragons scales.

The ground was littered with a thick layer of leaves. From the pungent rotting smell in the air, it was clear that the leaves had accumulated for many years.

Is this the Deva Secret Domain?

Lin Xun had originally thought that it would be some kind of underwater world. Who could have imagined that it would be an ancient forested land instead?

Of course, what surprised him the most was that he had been separated from Zhao Jingxuan!

It was not just Zhao Jingxuan, the other Spirit Treasure Holy Land disciples were also nowhere to be seen

This doesnt look good!

Lin Xun frowned. He had originally discussed it with Zhao Jingxuan, and they had decided to move together.

Who could have anticipated that they would be teleported to different areas and separated upon entering the unfamiliar secret domain?

Blast it, whats going on?

Why did this happen? Where are the young master and the others?

Confused voices suddenly sounded in the distance.

Lin Xun immediately looked over and found dozens of figures from different clans.

They were clearly very surprised as well and had not expected to be separated upon entering the secret domain, which threw their initial plans awry.

They soon noticed Lin Xun and immediately shut their mouths. Moreover, they also quickly dispersed in order to guard against each other.

After all, they were now competitors. All of them knew that the search for opportunities and treasures would be filled with conflict.

Lin Xun walked away as well, intending to leave the area as soon as possible.

By this time, everyone else had also scattered and headed off in different directions. No one wanted to be constantly on guard about others in the vicinity.

Oh? A stalk of Purple Vine Snow Mushrooms!

A surprised and happy voice sounded.

A cultivator from the Winged Spirit Clan had discovered a purple vine near the roots of an ancient tree. Snow-white mushrooms grew on the vine, glowing beautifully as they gave off a sweet fragrance.

Anyone could tell at a glance that these were no ordinary mushrooms because they glittered as if they were made from jade.

The cultivator squatted down, took out a knife, and carefully began to dig, intending to extract the entire vine.

Whoosh!

A black blur suddenly shot through the air and pierced the cultivators head, sending out a spray of blood.

The body fell into a pool of its own blood, eyes wide in anger and unable to accept what had happened.

A black arrow had been shot with unrivaled ruthlessness and preciseness to achieve a one-hit kill. It was no surprise that the cultivator had been unable to react.

This made the nearby cultivators hearts shiver. So ruthless! Cant believe someone was already mercilessly killed so soon after entering the Deva Secret Domain.

Is such a magnificent treasure something the likes of you should even dream about? A muscular figure arrived and snatched up the Purple Vine Snow Mushrooms.

It was a young man with dark blood-red hair and intimidating piercing eyes. He held a giant bow in one hand and was an imposing sight to behold.

The muscular young man scanned the surroundings as he said in a booming voice, All of you listen here, this area is now occupied by the Blood Lion Clan, and everything here belongs to us. Anyone who dares to steal anything will die!

His voice sounded like a lions roar, filled with murderous intent as it thundered across the area.

After which, he dashed into the depths of the forest.

Numerous people were enraged, but could only bear with it for the time being since they had been separated from the other experts of their clans.

Someone said in a low voice, He seems to be one of the Blood Lion Clans younger generation geniuses, Shi Jun. I heard hes a big bully and is extremely bloodthirsty.

Careful, havent you noticed that there are numerous Blood Lion Clan experts in that forest?

Several people realized that there were many figures in the forest that belonged to the Blood Lion Clan. It was surprising that they had not been separated.

Lin Xun could not help but frown as he observed this, feeling that the Blood Lion Clan expert was too domineering while also extremely ruthless.

Many cultivators began to withdraw from the area, not wishing to clash with the Blood Lion Clan.

There were also many that stayed because they realized that the Blood Lion Clan experts had likely discovered something special in the forest and were trying to seal off the area to prevent anyone else from approaching.

In the end, Lin Xun decided to keep his distance. After all, he was alone and had little information about the Deva Secret Domain. It was only logical for him to avoid potential trouble.

With the No-Nonsense Bow on his back and the Broken Blade in hand, he carefully advanced through the thick foliage, making sure to maintain vigilance at all times.

He did not dare to be negligent. This was the Deva Secret Domain, and there were numerous other experts inside with him. Who knew how much danger there was lurking out of sight?

Fifteen minutes later.

A peculiar dragon roar-like noise suddenly sounded behind him.

Lin Xun stopped and turned to look. He saw golden light rising in the distance like a magical cloud as the roar of a dragon echoed. It was an astonishing phenomenon.

If Lin Xuns memory served him right, that was where the Blood Lion Clan experts had been gathered!

Lin Xun softly remarked, It looks like they have indeed discovered something amazing to have caused such a phenomenon

He could not help but feel tempted, but ultimately restrained himself.

The appearance of such a phenomenon would definitely attract numerous experts. The target was just too big, and it went without saying that a terrible battle would soon follow.

Sure enough, the sound of fighting could be heard after several moments. Angry roars thundered clearly despite the great distance.

Lin Xun raised his gaze and saw numerous figures dashing over where a bloody battle had already erupted.

They were fighting over a small golden tree. It shone like a golden sun, dyeing the sky a gorgeous gold.

In addition, the small golden tree seemed to have a mind of its own and was flickering about in the sky. As a result, the experts not only had to fight each other, but also try to stop it from escaping, causing the situation to be exceedingly chaotic.

What kind of tree is that? I cant believe it has such a strong ego and could cause such a phenomenon.

Lin Xuns expression changed. This was definitely a rare treasure that possessed unimaginable powers.

However, Lin Xun ultimately restrained himself from participating in the melee because in that brief period of time, even more experts were drawn over and threw themselves into the brawl.

There were too many people, and it was too dangerous. It was not worth risking his life.

Lin Xun continued on his way.

This incident allowed Lin Xun to better understand the Deva Secret Domain. It was an amazing place that was filled with opportunity. Moreover, there were also many rare plants here that could not be found in the outside world.

Along the way, Lin Xun transmitted to Jin Duyi, Toady, have you heard of the Deva Secret Domain located inside the Return Dominion?

Whats a Deva Secret Domain? This king only knows that in ancient times several great Saint experts entered the Return Dominion but never left. Some said that they had died while others said that they had found the true secrets of the Return Dominion and entered another world.

Jin Duyis voice was tinged with a unique cockiness as he said, On account that youve so humbly asked me for advice, this king advises you to not think about the Return Dominion. Your cultivation is too low, and youll definitely die if you enter.

Lin Xun casually replied, Toady, were inside the Return Dominion.

Jin Duyi was immediately alarmed. What did you say? You, youyouve entered the Return Domain? Youre not dead? How can this be? How can someone so weak survive?

Lin Xun interrupted his rambling and told the toad how he had entered the Deva Secret Domain.

I seea teleportation portal was built above the Return Dominionno wonder youre still alive

Jin Duyi seemed to understand. Soon after, he excitedly said, How incredible. Only a Saint expert could have possibly constructed such an amazing secret portal into the Return Dominion!

Before Lin Xun could get a word in, Jin Duyi babbled on, Youve struck gold this time! This king is certain that theres an unimaginable opportunity in this secret domain!

Of course I know that.

Lin Xun nearly rolled his eyes. He was finally sure that the useless toad knew nothing about the Deva Secret Domain.

Wait, although this king doesnt know the origins of this secret domain, I can still evaluate the value of some opportunities and treasure. How aboutyou release me so we can search for opportunities together?

Jin Duyi used an enticing tone as he said, Think about it. With this kings guidance, what treasure will be able to slip away from you? This is a rare opportunity that I usually wouldnt easily give to anyone.

Forget it, opportunities are a test of ones ability and luck. How can they be allowed to be obtained so easily? Toady, itll be better if you obediently stay inside!

Lin Xun decisively rejected Jin Duyis request and cut off the conversation. If the toad was set loose, he would never obediently cooperate and would probably try to escape.

After some time, Lin Xun left the forest and arrived on a cliff.

From here, he could clearly see that the battle in the forest had already ended. The only mystery was whose hands the small golden tree had ended up in.

Oh?

Lin Xun suddenly noticed a plant growing from the side of the cliff. Droplets of light seemed to sprinkle from it as it exuded a sweet fragrance and a glow that felt hazy and sacred like moonlight.

A treasure!

Lin Xuns eyes brightened. A single whiff of the fragrance made him feel refreshed and filled with energy.

There was no doubt that the plant was some kind of incredible herb that was even better than the Purple Vine Snow Mushrooms from earlier.

However, just as Lin Xun was about to pluck it, a black arrow hit the cliff, causing it to shake and rocks to fall.

Lin Xun immediately took evasive maneuvers before he looked toward where the arrow had come from.

A muscular young man stood in the distance with a giant bow in his hand. His blood-red hair seemed to burn against the sky as a domineering and imposing pressure spread from him.

Shi Jun!

Lin Xun had not expected to bump into him again. Wasnt he fighting for the small golden tree? Why has he appeared here?

Shi Juns gaze was chillingly cold as he stared at Lin Xun and threatened, The Moon Essence Grass is mine. Do you have anything to say about it?
