Chapter 1097: Chapter 1083: The Foundation of the Blessed Land
“A major event, what major event?” Seeing Leng Kang’s anxious appearance, Ye Zhen’s eyes suddenly grew cold.
“The Origin of the Blessed Land, the essence of the Huichun Blessed Land! Lord, I believe that both Jie Tianhe, Yang Ben, and Yuh Changkong are certainly searching for this,” Leng Kang said.
“The Origin of the Blessed Land? Speak clearly!” Ye Zhen demanded.
“It is like this, Lord, the Nine Great Blessed Lands of the Outer Domain Dead Sea are not merely nine Blessed Lands in name, but truly deserve to be called the Nine Great Blessed Lands.
Take our Xuan Shui Palace, for instance; the reason it was established as one of the Nine Great Blessed Lands is that it has a spring from which Heavenly Mysterious Water can be condensed.
Like Yin Yang Island’s status as one of the fundamentals of the Nine Blessed Lands is mainly because of the Cold Pool and Fire Cave on the island; cultivating water and fire techniques there achieves twice the result with half the effort.
For example, Dragon Island is one of the fundamentals of the Nine Blessed Lands because it is said that natural dragon veins converge there, among other things.
In this situation, the Huichun Blessed Land surely has similar treasures or characteristics. At this time, Jie Tianhe, Yang Ben, and the others must be searching for what makes Huichun Mansion the core of Huichun Blessed Land,” Leng Kang explained.
Hearing this, Ye Zhen, having understood, glared fiercely at Leng Kang, “Why didn’t you say this earlier?”
Leng Kang immediately cried out with grievance, “It was not my intention to deliberately hide it from you, Lord. It’s just that earlier, you didn’t ask, and I temporarily forgot due to the huge disparity of life encounters.
However, it should still be in time. Judging from the appearances of Jie Tianhe, Yang Ben, Yuh Changkong, and others, they should still be in the process of searching…”
Halfway through his speech, Leng Kang’s demeanor suddenly became stern. He quickly cupped his hands towards Ye Zhen and said, “Lord, may I ask you to once again send the situation within Huichun Blessed Land into my Soul Sea? Perhaps I might discover something.”
“Hmm?”
In the next instant, Ye Zhen repeated the process, sending the situation in Huichun Blessed Land, as sensed through the Spirit Communication Stele, into Leng Kang’s Soul Sea.
After observing for a few moments, Leng Kang suddenly spoke, “Lord, observe this back garden of Huichun Blessed Land carefully, there might be something amiss here.”
“Hmm? Back garden?”
Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense immediately, through the Spirit Communication Stele, landed at the far end of Huichun Blessed Land.
The back garden mentioned by Leng Kang was the vast area of flowers and plants behind the palace complex of Huichun Blessed Land.
There were hundreds of medicinal plots of various sizes, and beyond these plots, there were small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and terraces, as well as a rather expansive back garden.
Ordinarily, if Ye Zhen were to merely walk up to this back garden, he might find it very hard to detect the unusualness of it.
But the issue was, Ye Zhen at this moment was observing the back garden through the flowers and trees there, almost from an omnipresent perspective.
Just with Leng Kang’s brief reminder, Ye Zhen noticed the anomaly in the back garden.
Apart from a few evergreen vines on the walls, the entire back garden was filled with trees, with towering ancient trees of all kinds. Among them, a few ancient trees appeared especially extraordinary, seemingly being ancient abnormal species, gleaming with treasure light.
One might ask, where would a back garden be planted entirely with trees like this? This was essentially a garden of trees.
And there was even a name on the moon gate of this back garden, called Gulan Garden.
However, if one were to approach the moon gate of Gulan Garden, it would be difficult to immediately notice this anomaly of a garden full of trees and no flowers.
“Are you saying that something is hidden in this Gulan Garden? Or perhaps the essence of the Blessed Land is hidden within this Gulan Garden?” Ye Zhen asked.
Leng Kang did not directly answer, “Based on the layout of our Xuan Shui Palace, the spring from which Heavenly Mysterious Water could be condensed in the past was also hidden in an ordinary hot spring; normally, people would think it’s just a hot spring and wouldn’t suspect that a spring condensing Heavenly Mysterious Water lies beneath.
In my opinion, at least three of the palaces and five of the islands among the Nine Blessed Lands of the Outer Domain Dead Sea were designed by the same person.
Therefore, if he could hide the Heavenly Mysterious Water of Xuan Shui Palace within an ordinary hot spring, he could certainly hide the essence of the Blessed Land within Huichun in a back garden full of towering ancient trees.
Moreover, the Wood Spirit Power in Huichun Blessed Land is the strongest, and the Wood Spirit Power here is quite pure Yimu Spiritual Power, so the core treasure of Huichun Blessed Land is certainly a wood-related treasure.
In this context, hiding it among the towering ancient trees of this so-called back garden is most appropriate.”
After speaking, Leng Kang added another sentence, “Earlier, with the Lord’s assistance, I had thoroughly observed the layout within Huichun Blessed Land. I believe the most likely place to hide a treasure is within this Gulan Garden.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen slowly nodded, “I estimate your speculation to be correct. There’s one thing you overlooked; the thousands of extraordinarily impressive ancient trees in Gulan Garden are actually the true guardians of this Blessed Land’s essence.”
“Even without someone’s prompting, if those ancient trees were to transform into demons by themselves, even a powerhouse at the Dao Entrance Realm would find it difficult to break in. If someone were to control them, that would be…”
At this point, Ye Zhen’s expression slightly paused. According to the Yimu Spiritual Communication Technique, once it was cultivated to the extreme, the battle power of those tree demons under spiritual control would increase exponentially.
In that case, the actual defensive strength within Gulan Garden might be something only heaven knows.
“That’s right, the Alliance Hierarch is right, those thousands of ancient trees are definitely the guardians of the Blessed Land’s source. Hierarch, since that’s the case, let’s hurry over now. With you having control of the Spirit Communication Hall, it shouldn’t be difficult to enter there.
If we’re late and someone else discovers it, that would be troublesome,” Leng Kang suggested.
Ye Mu slowly shook his head, “It’s already a bit late.”
“Hierarch, do you mean someone already broke in?” Leng Kang’s expression changed dramatically.
“Not yet, but someone has already made it through the palace group and reached the small bridge there, currently inspecting the medicinal gardens one by one. Judging by his speed, we can still make it in time.
However, as soon as we get there, we’ll definitely alert him!” Ye Zhen said.
“Who is it?” Leng Kang asked urgently.
Ye Zhen didn’t rush to answer but instead looked at Leng Kang, “If we go there, not only will we alert this person, but this person is also my mortal enemy!”
“Hierarch, do you mean?” Leng Kang’s expression suddenly shifted.
“You should understand what I mean, right?” Ye Zhen said.
Instantly, Leng Kang’s expression turned bitter, “Hierarch, it’s not that I refuse to serve, but Jie Tianhe is simply too terrifying.
Even if I collaborate with you to ambush Jie Tianhe from behind, I fear it would not only fail to kill Jie Tianhe but also get both you and me caught in it.”
Ye Zhen rolled his eyes dramatically at Leng Kang, “Do you think I’m that stupid? Collaborating with you to ambush Jie Tianhe? That’s not how I look for death.
It’s Yuh Changkong, Green Robe Dragon King Yuh Changkong.”
“Ah, so it’s Yuh Changkong! Don’t worry, Hierarch, I’m quite the good actor. I’ll cooperate with you and ensure that Yuh Changkong doesn’t know how he died!” Leng Kang laughed slyly.
Seeing Leng Kang’s smile, Ye Zhen couldn’t help but feel sad for Jie Tianhe for having such a bottomless ally; is his luck really that bad?
“Let’s go, I’ll stick close and coordinate with you. Remember, don’t be careless, and be quick. I reckon, since Yuh Changkong has discovered the place, it won’t be long before he informs Jie Tianhe to come over!” A hint of fierceness flashed at the corner of Ye Zhen’s mouth.
In the next instant, the door of the Spirit Communication Hall suddenly opened, and with a flash of light, Leng Kang darted towards the direction of the Huichun Blessed Land’s back garden.
At the same moment, after leaving an extremely potent Divine Soul Attack inside the Spirit Communication Stele for precaution, Ye Zhen stepped out of the Spirit Communication Hall’s door.
With a quick movement, Ye Zhen chased in Leng Kang’s direction, always choosing places with plants to touch down along the way.
Since imprinting the Spirit Communication Stele, without yet having cultivated the Yimu Spiritual Communication Technique, Ye Zhen was still unable to completely control Huichun Blessed Land,
but he could be aware of any changes in any corner of Huichun Blessed Land, even if he left the Spirit Communication Hall.
Whenever he touched any plant related to wood from the Five Elements, he could connect to the Spirit Communication Stele inside the Spirit Communication Hall and understand all changes inside Huichun Blessed Land.
It must be said, the Eight Directions Spirit Communing Formation inside the Spirit Communication Hall of this Huichun Blessed Land is truly ingenious.
Through the formation and the underground flow of Wood Spirit Power, it connects all the vegetation in Huichun Blessed Land as one unit, allowing the controller to be aware of any movement within the hall no matter where they are.
Unless a corner has no plants belonging to the wood element of the Five Elements.
Thus, even when Ye Zhen was rapidly advancing, whenever his fingertips brushed past the branches and leaves, or his toes tapped on the green grass on the ground, changes in every corner of Huichun Blessed Land were immediately reflected in Ye Zhen’s Soul Sea.
For instance, Shuili Dan King had almost collected all the spiritual medicines along the avenue and began breaking through the Tree Demon’s encirclement.
The Alliance Hierarch Jie Tianhe just passed by the door of the Spirit Communication Hall, but merely in a brief sweep.
At this moment, the Spirit Hall didn’t even have a plaque, not worth his time to stop at all.
Simultaneously, Ye Zhen observed that the Island Lord of Black Fiend Island, Hei Tian, wouldn’t let a single hall go and was also approaching the Spirit Communication Hall swiftly.
With a thought, the green jade talisman placed by Ye Zhen at the entrance of another hall upon leaving suddenly exploded, releasing an extremely pure burst of Wood Spirit Power.
Hei Tian, who had just arrived near the Spirit Communication Hall, sensed the change in spiritual power nearby and quickly passed over the unremarkable Spirit Communication Hall, heading toward the hall where the fierce Wood Spirit Power had just erupted.
Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s eyebrows shot up. According to the situation reflected inside the Spirit Communication Stele, Yuh Changkong and Leng Kang had coincidentally bumped into each other before the medicinal gardens of Gu Lan Garden, and now, they were having a private conversation.
Apparently, Leng Kang had begun executing the plan.
Instantly, Ye Zhen’s speed under his feet increased dramatically! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote for it at with recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to to read.)
