Chapter 482: Chapter 482: Jade Pool Divine Tree

Very quickly, under the guidance of the Jade Pool Divine Lady, Ji Chen left this place.

Watching their departing figures, everyone was silent, and the majority were filled with amazement.

They could never have imagined that Ji Chen’s connections were so extensive, even the Jade Pool Divine Lady treated him with such respect and courtesy.

And what amazed people the most was hearing that this person named Ji Chen had only just arrived in the Immortal Sword from the Lower Realm Plane.

Yet, such a person was connected to Jade Pool, Purple Mansion, Yunxia Temple, and the Bai Family, Wei Family, and other Ancient Immortal Races.

...

Regarding the confusion and astonishment in the hearts of the people, Ji Chen was obviously unaware and couldn’t care less.

At this moment, he walked side by side with the Jade Pool Divine Lady, the two strolling down a quiet bamboo path, heading towards a certain place at the back of Jade Pool.

Gradually distancing from the noise and hustle, this was an inner area of Jade Pool, closed to outsiders even during great gatherings, hence guests from all sides could not set foot here.

"Young master, earlier at the Enlightenment Tree, were you comprehending the Law of Cause and Effect?"

The Jade Pool Divine Lady suddenly spoke, her beautiful eyes glancing at him.

Ji Chen was silent, surprised that the other party could recognize this at a glance.

It seems the Way of Cause and Effect is far more complex than he imagined.

After pondering for a moment, he nodded, without concealing, "Unfortunately, it’s just a Law, not the true Way of Cause and Effect."

"Is the young master interested in the Way of Cause and Effect of our Jade Pool too?" She asked with a smile.

"One of the Ancient Immortal Scriptures counted among the few in existence, if I said I wasn’t interested, I’m afraid the Fairy wouldn’t believe it, right?" Ji Chen replied.

"Indeed."

The Jade Pool Divine Lady nodded, "However, this Way is special, not everyone can cultivate it, and from ancient times to the present, apart from past Divine Ladies and a few Immortal Masters’ personal disciples, no one else is qualified to comprehend it."

"Will Luoning also comprehend this Way of Cause and Effect?" Ji Chen suddenly asked.

Without hesitation, the Jade Pool Divine Lady nodded again, "Yes, her constitution is special and matches our Jade Pool’s Way of Cause and Effect extremely well. If she can comprehend this Way to Great Success, her future achievements may not necessarily be beneath mine."

Ji Chen was surprised; he knew Qu Luoning was the Taiyin Immortal Body but didn’t expect such a constitution to align so well with Jade Pool’s Ancient Scripture?

The current Divine Lady is reputed to have the Holy Spirit Body, and throughout history, this constitution is indeed extremely rare.

Yet even she said that her own constitution’s compatibility with the Way of Cause and Effect is less than Qu Luoning’s Taiyin Immortal Body?

If these words hadn’t come from the Jade Pool Divine Lady, Ji Chen would certainly not believe them.

But he felt there was no reason for the other party to deceive him about anything.

Soon, amidst conversations, the two arrived at a mountain summit of Jade Pool.

The mountaintop was very flat as if sliced by a sword, planted with various strange flowers and herbs, all glowing with a bright radiance.

In the middle, there was a small lake, not very large, and Ji Chen could see that the water in the lake was almost dried up, with only a small depression left, and the surrounding ground was already cracked.

What surprised Ji Chen was that within the depression, an ancient tree was growing, with a very robust trunk yet its leaves appeared yellowed and, although not falling, seemed as if a breeze would cause them to wither completely.

"This is the Divine Tree of my Jade Pool, personally planted by the first generation Immortal Master long ago, it’s been around for a million years now."

Standing beside the depression, the Jade Pool Divine Lady looked at the yellowed ancient tree and spoke quietly.

"Jade Pool Divine Tree..."

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, he had heard people mention this Divine Tree by chance before.

It’s said this tree blooms every thousand years, bears fruit every ten thousand years, and each time, only one fruit is produced.

The Jade Pool Divine Fruit, this fruit has incredibly astonishing effects.

Anyone who consumes it not only extends their life but also even rejuvenates.

Most importantly, it has one unexpected effect.

According to legend, one Jade Pool Divine Fruit is equivalent to one Divine Format!

Anyone who consumes this fruit would have the qualification to attain immortality in the future, even if they didn’t have a Divine Format within.

This is why it’s powerful and rare.

"The reason the Divine Lady brought me here, I wonder..."

Ji Chen questioned, unsure.

Before he finished speaking, the Jade Pool Divine Lady stated, "As you can see, the Divine Tree is withering. Frankly, it’s been nearly a hundred thousand years since it last bore fruit."

"Is it because of this lake?" Ji Chen asked.

The Jade Pool Divine Lady nodded, "The Immortal Pool that nurtures the Divine Tree is nearly dried up, which is the main reason, it’s difficult for the tree to bear fruit."

While speaking, she looked at Ji Chen, "The two drops of blood borrowed from you earlier were placed into this Immortal Pool."

Nurturing the tree with blood!

Ji Chen was astonished, having not expected Jade Pool to use his blood for this purpose.

"Over the years, my Jade Pool has been trying to find ways to revive it. An earlier Immortal Master once forcibly calculated using the Way of Cause and Effect to discover that special blood might be able to restore the Divine Tree. Therefore, my Holy Spirit Body, including various blood from the Immortal Realm such as the Dominator Body from the Wei Family, Jade Pool has borrowed, hoping to use it to nurture the Divine Tree."

"Even the blood from Luoning’s Taiyin Immortal Body was tried too, unfortunately, none were effective."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen understood, "So, Jade Pool borrowed my blood trying to see if it could be effective as well?"

"Correct."

She nodded, pondered for a moment, then continued, "Before you came, the tree was much more withered than what you see now."

"The Divine Lady’s meaning is..."

Ji Chen was stunned, "My Blood of Hongmeng is beneficial to it?"

The Hongmeng Body possesses an incredibly strong self-healing ability, and since Ji Chen thoroughly tempered his body to the Emperor Realm, this self-healing capability has multiplied several times.

It is said that after achieving the Emperor Realm Body, one drop of blood in the Hongmeng Body equates to any Divine Medicine in this world.

No wonder his blood helped in reviving the Jade Pool Divine Tree.

"Divine Lady invited me today, perhaps not just to tell me this?" Ji Chen asked, his eyes looking at her.

The Jade Pool Divine Lady also turned her gaze towards him, then after a moment of eye contact, she said, "My Jade Pool wants to make a deal with you."

"The Divine Lady may speak frankly." Ji Chen said.

"Moving forward each year, we wish to invite you to Jade Pool, employing the Blood of Hongmeng to nurture the Divine Tree until it fully restores to its Immortal Ancient appearance."

"What’s my benefit?" Ji Chen asked.

"What does the young master want?" the Jade Pool Divine Lady retorted.

"The Way of Cause and Effect... As the Divine Lady mentioned, this Ancient Scripture can only be cultivated by compatible individuals. Besides, it’s a secret of Jade Pool, so let’s set it aside. What can Jade Pool offer me?" Ji Chen pondered, touching his chin, unable to readily think of something he currently desires.
