Chapter 413: Chapter 328 World Divine Tree Main Trunk_1
The World Divine Tree, at its peak period, could create a world with just a single leaf, and the worlds at the treetop were even close to being on par with the Divine Realm.
Although it had been destroyed for hundreds of billions of years, the remaining piece of Divine Wood that was passed down should not be underestimated.
The Divine Wood in Li Cheng's hands was as thick as an arm and two feet long, appearing completely dried up, but he had already tried to test its interior and found its hardness astonishingly incredible.
Had it not been for the use of a Divine Skill left by Blunt Empty Venerable, it would have been impossible to come out from within it.
Grasping the Divine Wood with both hands, Li Cheng began to carefully sense it.
The intricate patterns inside the Divine Wood extended outwards, subtly in accord with the Order of Heaven and Earth. At the top of the Divine Wood, there was a space a thousand feet in size, which was specifically the space for storing that Divine World.
However, this space only occupied about one-fiftieth of the Divine Wood, with no similar space elsewhere. The rest was solid wood, which contained an immensely powerful force of earth, fire, water, and wind.
After inspecting it closely for a long time, Li Cheng felt somewhat disappointed, it was a pity that the Heart of Divine Tree was not inside, otherwise it surely would have been a top-tier treasure.
The Heart of Divine Tree spawned by the World Divine Tree was definitely not just one. Hundreds of billions of years ago when it was shattered, those Hearts of Divine Tree must have been taken away. How could they have been left behind?
After a while, Li Cheng put down the Divine Wood, "Although the power of earth, fire, water, and wind contained in this piece of Divine Wood is impressive, it's still not ideal. If I could get a piece of its main trunk, that would definitely be the perfect foundation for constructing a Divine World."
That said, Li Cheng knew that after hundreds of billions of years, finding even this piece of Divine Wood was already defying the heavens. As for finding the main trunk, that was probably impossible.
Most likely, the main trunk had not been passed down at all and was destroyed at the time.
"Is this a branch of the World Divine Tree?" Ao Jiugai's voice rang out.
Li Cheng turned and saw Ao Jiugai, who had appeared nearby at some point.
He nodded, "Yes, but the powers it held have greatly dwindled over the hundred billion years, and it's not very useful now."
The conversation shifted, and Li Cheng said, "Just now you were diligently clearing out Blunt Empty Residence, why did you stop?"
"Hah, can't I take a break?"
"But the reason I stopped was because of you. The moment this branch of the World Divine Tree appeared, the surrounding Chaos suddenly changed, look!"
Ao Jiugai pointed around, speaking with curiosity.
Li Cheng stood up and looked around, only to see that the previously calm Chaos was now tumultuously rolling!
Especially in the direction where the Chaotic Time-Space Lotus was, the rolling of Chaos was even more violent, and on closer inspection, it was clear that the turmoil in that direction was what triggered the turmoil in the rest of Blunt Empty Residence.
"So you mean, there is something inside resonating with this piece of Divine Wood, causing the current anomaly?" Li Cheng asked.
Ao Jiugai nodded, "That must be it!"
As soon as Li Cheng put away the Divine Wood, the surrounding Chaos gradually calmed down.
He took out the Divine Wood again, and the Chaos around continued to roll!
"Indeed! Let's go see what it is!" Li Cheng sped towards the passage where the Chaotic Time-Space Lotus was located.
When they reached the Chaotic Time-Space Lotus, there was no reaction from the piece of Divine Wood in his hands, but the surrounding Chaos continued to roll, signifying they hadn't reached it yet!
"We need to dig further ahead, no matter. I want to see what is resonating with this piece of Divine Wood!" Although Ao Jiugai was helpless, his curiosity drove him to consume Chaos rapidly.
The man and the dragon used their old tricks and continued to dig the passage forward.
"Blunt Empty Residence really is like a blind box; every now and then it gives some surprises," Li Cheng joked.
Ao Jiugai gave Li Cheng a sideways glance, "Aren't you worried that it might turn out to be a scare?"
Li Cheng shook his head, would anything that resonated with this piece of Divine Wood be a scare?
Perhaps, it was something related to the World Divine Tree.
"The Chaos Divine Turtle has fallen for who knows how many epochs. Judging from its shell, it likely died of old age. Coupled with the current resonance, it must have perished after the World Divine Tree was destroyed, what do you think?" Ao Jiugai added.
Li Cheng agreed with Ao Jiugai's reasoning and nodded, "Indeed, that's what I think too. It's just uncertain how long the Chaos Divine Turtle's lifespan was."
"Ordinary Divine Emperors have a lifespan of nearly a hundred billion years, and turtle-like Divine Beasts are naturally long-lived. Living for a few hundred billion years or a hundred billion years should be no problem, right? Besides, we don't know the realm of this Chaos Divine Turtle, so we can't speculate," Ao Jiugai said.
That was indeed the case, and neither Li Cheng nor Ao Jiugai knew whether Divine Emperor was the ultimate realm in the Divine Realm.
According to the scriptures, Divine Emperor was already supreme, but Li Cheng always believed in the endless pursuit of cultivation. Could it be that there were beings who had surpassed the Divine Emperor, or even attained eternal life?
These were unknown to anyone, and with Li Cheng's current realm, he could not reach them either.
After digging for several hundred miles, Ao Jiugai was suddenly bounced back, shook his dragon head, and wondered, "Could it be that we've dug to the edge of the Chaos Divine Turtle's Beast Core?"
Li Cheng, however, widened his eyes and exclaimed, "No, it's a wall!"
Through the Chaos Qi, Li Cheng could faintly see that what Ao Jiugai had touched was a wall that resembled emerald.
But the current situation was clearly a glimpse of something greater, unable to reveal the complete picture of that thing.
"A wall? Not necessarily, once I consume the surrounding Chaos Qi, we'll know!" Ao Jiugai said excitedly.
Indeed, as Li Cheng said, the interior of this Chaos Divine Turtle's Beast Core was just like a blind box. Digging might reveal surprising treasures at any time.
"This is taking too long to dig, let me do it!"
