The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 51 Soul-Nourishing Wood

On the other side, in the gloomy swamp, Lu Ming was also trapped in an inescapable illusion.

He saw that he had calculated everything perfectly, manipulating the Crown Prince and Lu Xuan at will.

Finally, he successfully ascended the throne, leading the Great Yan Dynasty to sweep across the eight wastelands and become the overlord of the Eastern Wilderness.

That feeling of being in control of everything, of being the only one who matters in the world, made him completely addicted and intoxicated.

"This is what I want."

Lu Ming muttered to himself, his eyes unfocused.

Just as they were completely immersed in the illusion, a light suddenly shone and enveloped them.

"Trial over."

As the light faded, the two found themselves in a spacious stone chamber.

Although the spiritual energy here is abundant, it also has an indescribable stale smell.

In the center of the stone chamber, there is a huge stone platform covered with densely packed characters and patterns.

This was the very place Lu Tianxing had reached back then.

"Hmm? Sixth brother?"

"Big brother?"

The two saw each other as soon as they landed and were both taken aback.

Then, they quickly looked around, their eyes sweeping over every corner of the stone chamber.

The empty stone chamber was empty except for the two of them.

Lu Heng frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Is it just the two of us? Where's the third brother?"

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes.

"Third Brother isn't here."

The two then exchanged a glance, as if they had thought of something, and a look of ecstatic joy appeared on their faces at the same time.

"Looks like that good-for-nothing third brother didn't even pass the first hurdle!"

Lu Heng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"I knew it! With his meager skills, how could he possibly pass the test? He's probably already dead somewhere!"

Lu Ming also smiled, his eyes full of schadenfreude.

"Big brother is right. Although third brother has some cleverness, he is still a bit lacking in the face of a real life-or-death test. He is not as good as you or me."

"It seems that this ancestral legacy... is destined to belong to you and me, brothers."

Both of them thought they had passed the test to get here, while Lu Xuan, who did not appear, had naturally been eliminated long ago.

Lu Heng snorted coldly and ignored Lu Ming.

"In that case, let's each rely on our own abilities!"

He strode toward the huge stone platform.

He could sense that the aura emanating from the stone platform was the same as the aura emanating from his father.

If I could obtain the inheritance here, I would surely be able to ascend to the heavens in one step and break through to the Heavenly Origin Realm!

Lu Ming, not to be outdone, followed closely behind.

……

After passing through a long, dark corridor, Lu Xuan arrived at an ancient stone chamber.

The stone chamber wasn't very large, but several luminous pearls emitting a soft glow were embedded in the surrounding walls, illuminating the room brightly.

In the very center of the stone chamber, a pale golden ball of light floated.

Inside the ball of light was a section of what appeared to be a withered tree branch.

The branch was about a foot long, completely black, with cracked bark, as if it would break at any moment.

But Lu Xuan was completely stunned when he saw it for the first time.

"This is?"

He strode forward and reached out his hand, carefully touching the ball of light.

With a hum, the ball of light trembled.

Then, an extremely faint yet pure life force emanated from the withered branch within the ball of light.

Although the aura was faint, it contained an extremely terrifying Daoist charm.

"Soul-Nourishing Wood! And it's a ten-thousand-year-old Soul-Nourishing Wood that has undergone the baptism of lightning tribulation and rebirth!"

Lu Xuan couldn't help but gasp.

In his previous life, he would naturally have looked down on this thing.

But now, he is just an ant in the Spirit Sea Realm.

The Soul-Nourishing Wood is a supreme treasure for nourishing the soul and repairing the true spirit. For him now, it is like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

Although Lu Xuan possessed the Chaos Devouring Heaven Scripture and memories of his past life, his damaged soul was ultimately difficult to repair.

Each time he uses his divine soul to attack, it puts a considerable burden on him.

This section of Soul-Nourishing Wood not only nourishes his soul, but also allows him to use his soul to attack without restraint.

Most importantly, this Soul-Nourishing Wood has the potential to grow.

As long as it is refined day and night with the power of the soul, this withered tree may be able to regain its vitality.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Xuan forced out a drop of his essence blood and dripped it onto the withered branch.

"What a treasure! I never imagined that such a mere secret realm in the lower realm would contain such a gem!"

The essence and blood seeped into the withered branches, and a layer of blood-red patterns appeared on the originally black and withered branches.

Then, a golden light flashed between Lu Xuan's brows, and a divine sense probed out.

"receive!"

With a low shout, the Soul-Nourishing Wood transformed into a stream of light and directly entered his brow and sea of ​​consciousness.

It was as if a sweet dew was falling in my sea of ​​consciousness.

The soul, which had become somewhat depleted due to several battles, was replenished once again under the nourishment of this warm aura.

Even the once dormant Hongmeng Pearl sensed the aura of the Soul-Nourishing Wood and began to rotate slightly, releasing a wisp of chaotic energy that lingered around the Soul-Nourishing Wood.

With the support of these two forces, Lu Xuan felt refreshed and his spiritual strength more than doubled.

He couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.

"If I were to face someone like Yin Wuji, who is at the early stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm, now, even without using my trump cards, I could still inflict a great loss on him with just a soul attack."

"This is... the real trump card!"

After muttering to himself, Lu Xuan composed himself and looked at the tightly closed stone door at the back of the stone chamber.

"If the rewards for the first level are this generous, the rewards for the later levels will only be better."

"In that case, let's continue."

Lu Xuan took a step forward and pushed open the heavy stone door.

The moment the stone gate was opened, a bright and open space appeared before us.

It was a huge circular arena, surrounded by towering stone walls that reached into the clouds, with a chaotic void above it.

Then, the void in the center of the arena twisted, and countless points of light converged.

In the blink of an eye, a figure slowly appeared.

The man was dressed in a black robe, tall and slender, with a handsome face and a faint smile on his lips.

It was another Lu Xuan!

Not only do they look exactly alike, but even the aura they exude, the fluctuations of their spiritual power, and the arrogance that emanates from their very bones are no different from Lu Xuan's.

"A projection avatar?"

Lu Xuan looked at himself across from him, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

"That's interesting."

"Let me see just how much of my skills this secret realm can replicate."

Lu Xuan on the other side didn't waste any words. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

"boom!"

The next instant, a fist carrying a terrifying force was less than a foot away from Lu Xuan's face.

The speed was so fast that it exceeded the limits of what the naked eye could perceive!

"The Nine Forms of Haotian, Mountain Collapse!"

Lu Xuan neither dodged nor evaded, and threw a punch in return.

"Bang!"

The two fists collided, producing a dull, loud thud.

A terrifying shockwave swept around, shattering the stone slabs on the ground.

Both of them took three steps back at the same time.

This punch was... a draw!
