Chapter 839 Digging Up the Tree!

After several attempts, Yuan Xinyi returned without success; no matter how she tried, she couldn’t break through the sphere enclosing Sun Zhe’s Nascent Soul.

She withdrew her Divine Sense, staring at Sun Zhe with a slightly bewildered expression, “A Nascent Soul shell as hard as this, I’ve indeed never seen or heard of.”

“Under the impact of my Divine Sense, it was as firm as steel, unbreakable, and unmoved.”

Sun Zhe stroked his chin in thought, pondering that the reason might be because he had used the Dao Inquiry Lotus to complete his Dao Principle.

And although Yuan Xinyi was in the Soul Void Realm, her Dao Principle was not complete.

“Forget it, Miss Yuan, I’ll think of another way.”

Seeing Yuan Xinyi’s face turn pale from exhaustion due to the overuse of her Divine Sense, Sun Zhe felt a bit of compassion in his heart.

Yuan Xinyi let out a bitter laugh, “Sorry, this is the first time I’ve encountered such a situation.”

“…”

After tidying up their appearances, the two walked out of the small grove together, returning to the camp.

Lin Feiyan and Huang Liang were no longer in meditation, sitting apart by the campfire, chatting idly.

Upon hearing footsteps, they both glanced over simultaneously; their eyes rested on Sun Zhe and Yuan Xinyi, clearly noticing their auras had become thicker after a whole night of exertion.

“It seems that Kunlun Female Cultivator has not only improved but also advanced in strength.”

Huang Liang chuckled inwardly, then stood up to greet Sun Zhe.

“Master, shall we pack up and continue our journey?”

“Sure.” Sun Zhe nodded slightly, aware that the commotion from the previous night had surely been heard by Huang Liang and Lin Feiyan, leaving him a bit embarrassed.

At this point, Yuan Xinyi blushed, standing behind Sun Zhe, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Yet Huang Liang acted as if nothing had happened, calling out to pack the things up.

Watching his back, Sun Zhe suddenly remembered something and asked, “Is that Dao Transformation Fruit produced by the trees in this forest?”

Upon hearing this, Huang Liang paused, turning toward Sun Zhe, “Indeed, both the Dao Transformation Fruit and Dao Transformation Vine are borne by the Dao Transformation Tree in this forest.”

He added, “Strictly speaking, in this vast and lush Dao Transformation Forest, there’s only one Dao Transformation Tree.”

Sun Zhe frowned slightly, “Like a Banyan Tree becoming its own forest?”

“Exactly.”

Sun Zhe continued, “If, I mean if… I dig up the Dao Transformation Tree and plant it myself, can it bear Dao Transformation Fruits?”

Actually, the idea had popped up in Sun Zhe’s mind long before, when he was consolidating his Cultivation.

He thought, with the Dao Transformation Tree’s grade, it could certainly thrive in the Mother Medicine Rare Earth within the Ring Space!

Hearing this, Huang Liang, Lin Feiyan, and Yuan Xinyi were stunned, all looking at him as if he were a monster.

After a long pause, Huang Liang spoke, “If you manage to dig up the mother tree, theoretically, yes.”

He added, “But since this Dao Transformation Tree is nurtured by the earth transformed from the Earth Immortal’s corpse, transplanting it elsewhere would require unimaginable nutrients and spiritual power.”

“Without meeting these two conditions, it’d just be a dead tree, useless.”

Sun Zhe secretly laughed to himself, thinking he could meet both conditions.

The Mother Medicine Rare Earth in the Ring Space could provide nutrients, and the Thunder Spirit residing there could offer boundless spiritual power. With these conditions, not digging up a Dao Transformation Tree to plant would be a waste of resources!

Huang Liang naturally didn’t know what Sun Zhe was planning, and said solemnly, “Just maintaining this tree would demand unimaginable resources, and it’s uncertain whether it would bear Dao Transformation Fruits.”

Sun Zhe was silent for a moment, then tentatively said, “What if I dig up some of the soil here too…”

Hearing this, Huang Liang’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, “Theoretically, that’s completely feasible!”

Having made up his mind, Sun Zhe laughed, “Alright, let’s not leave this forest yet; let’s go find the mother tree and dig it up first.”

Huang Liang said, “This forest is so complex, though; to find the mother tree, I’ll need to recalculate, Master, please wait a moment.”

“Thank you.”

Huang Liang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his inner excitement, quickly taking out a compass to calculate, moving around muttering as if performing divination.

At this time, Yuan Xinyi tugged on Sun Zhe’s sleeve, whispering, “You really are going to find the mother tree, even digging it up and taking it away?”

Sun Zhe nodded, smiling, “This way, won’t there be endless Dao Transformation Fruits in the future? Rather than picking a fruit, why not dig up a tree? As the saying goes, give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.”

Yuan Xinyi’s head was full of black lines, “You say ‘give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime’… but when you say it, I feel a bit shameless.”

Beside her, Lin Feiyan also wore a strange expression, couldn’t help but whisper sarcastically, “Truly worthy of being the master who gets struck by lightning from the sky, doing even such a thing.”

“Found it!”

At this moment, Huang Liang shouted, pointing forward, “Master, the mother tree is in that direction!”

“…”

Three hours later.

Sun Zhe led Yuan Xinyi, Huang Liang, and Lin Feiyan on a glide landing, silently staring at a giant tree towering two hundred meters high, like a gigantic chimney.

In the silent stillness.

Huang Liang carefully said, “Master, that’s the situation, and that’s the tree… Will you still dig it up?”

Sun Zhe took a deep breath, “Yes, of course, dig it up! We’ve come this far.”

“Besides, the Dao Transformation Vine poses no threat to me; at that time, I can light a circle around us, and we can dig without worry.”

Yuan Xinyi rubbed her forehead, sighing lightly, thinking this was just unbelievable, asking, “Even if you dig it up, can you take such a large tree with you?”

Huang Liang nodded, “Ordinary Storage Treasures can’t contain such a large tree either.”

Sun Zhe smiled slightly, “Don’t worry, I only do things I’m confident about.”

Huang Liang steeled his resolve, “Then let’s dig!”

Then.

Sun Zhe released Sun Batian, along with Zhu Yan, Lin Shuqing, Jiang Yushu, Chen Ruoyi, and Han Xinyue from the Ring Space, directly asking the five women to help work.

Huang Liang slapped his forehead, sighing, “Honestly, Master, if you actually pull this off, you’ll definitely go down in history!”

Yuan Xinyi said, “But with just us, even adding a Black Kui, it will take a long time to dig it up.”

Sun Zhe looked toward the distant sky, smiling faintly, “First of all, we’re not ordinary people; we’re cultivators, so our work efficiency will definitely be higher than normal people, even higher than that of excavators.”

“Secondly, who says it’s just us? Right now, people are entering the immortal gates and coming to the Dao Transformation Forest every day, can’t we just grab some to help?”

Yuan Xinyi shook her head helplessly, “You’re not wrong. Whatever you say.”
