Chapter 1105: Finding the Trunk of the World Tree

“Miss, are you alright?” After a long while, Xiao Qing regained her senses and asked Huangfu Man, who was still standing there in a daze.
Huangfu Man slowly turned her head, her eyes vacant, as she murmured, “I… seem to have reached the level of a Supreme God?!”
Xiao Qing was utterly shocked once again.
After leaving Huangfu City, Huang Long did not leave this divine realm. Instead, he teleported to a mountain range to the north of it, placed restrictions there, and entered the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron.
Sitting in the center of the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron formation, Huang Long practiced the Heavenly Dao Void Art, continuously absorbing the life energy emitted by the World Tree.
Meanwhile, sacred artifacts such as the Chaos Bell, the Divine Wasteland Cauldron, and the Spirit-Communicating Jade floated around Huang Long’s body. Their spirit cores kept operating the core formation, working together with Huang Long’s cultivation techniques to heal his injuries.
Inside the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron, streams of sacred energy veins kept bursting forth and merging into Huang Long’s body. Divine pills like the Fire Spirit Ice Flame Pill also transformed into pure energy, nourishing every part of his being.
Year after year passed. Millions of years had gone by.
Huang Long remained seated inside the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron, still not rising. The golden light surrounding his body grew increasingly intense, illuminating the entire realm. Golden dragons circled within the space of the cauldron.
As Huang Long’s power continued to rise, colorful lights began to descend from the void. These lights were neither the auspicious glow of the Sage Hunyuan nor multicolored. Of course, Huang Long was unaware of this phenomenon.
He felt as though his entire soul sea was about to soar, as if he himself were about to spin into the air.
The World Tree shone brightly, mysteriously resonating with a force deep within the ultimate universe.
Time passed unknowingly until suddenly, Huang Long’s body trembled violently. A wave of energy spread out from him. Golden beams burst forth from his body.
By taking this opportunity to heal his injuries, Huang Long achieved a breakthrough to the later stage of the Dao Union realm!
As Huang Long reached the later stage of the Dao Union realm, the primal forces of the Dao within Qing Cang and Xuan Sheng continued to flow into the World Tree, which then transformed them into energy for Huang Long!
Qing Cang and Xuan Sheng screamed in agony as they withered away at an alarming rate. Although they had reached the Supreme Realm and achieved Hunyuan, their primal forces had been completely drained, leaving them as half-dead shells.
Huang Long stabilized his power at the later stage of the Dao Union realm.

“I never expected that this misfortune would turn into good fortune—not only did my injuries heal, but I also made further progress and reached the later stage of the He Dao realm!” Huang Long felt the surging Holy Power of Hunyuan within his body and couldn’t help but rejoice.

“I wonder how much time has passed?” Huang Long flashed out of the Sacred Cauldron of Heaven and Earth.

“Two years have passed in the outside world,” came the voice of the World Tree.

In the outside world, that is, in the Wuji Universe, two years had already passed. Adding the more than two months spent in Huangfu City earlier, Huang Long had been in this Wuji Universe for over two years now. Since time flowed at the same rate in this Wuji Universe as in the Three Thousand Universes, it meant that more than two years had also passed in those Three Thousand Universes.

“Over two years…” Huang Long frowned.

Less than seven years remained until the War of All Races.

At that moment, Huang Long expanded his divine consciousness, and every corner of this divine realm, including everything in Huangfu City, became clearly visible in his mind.

Then, with a single gesture, he summoned the two strongest beings in this divine realm, who were in seclusion, right before him. As they appeared before him, a flash of light emerged from Huang Long’s hand, and two beams of golden light entered their bodies.

Although the Wuji Universe originated from the World Tree, after so many eras, the World Tree itself didn’t know what the current state of the Wuji Universe was like. Therefore, Huang Long needed to first understand this universe before he could locate the main trunk of the World Tree as soon as possible.

After a while, Huang Long stopped.

From the memories of those two, he learned that this Wuji Universe didn’t have three thousand major worlds like the Three Thousand Universes; instead, it was composed of countless layers of space. As for exactly how many layers there were, even these two peak experts at the late stage of the Supreme Divine realm didn’t know.

However, although they didn’t know the number of layers in the Wuji Universe, Huang Long learned an extremely important piece of information: the entire Wuji Universe was ruled by a religious sect called the Wuji Sect!

These two were two low-ranking ministers of the Wuji Sect!

And the headquarters of the Wuji Sect was located in the highest layer of space, at the very center of the Wuji Universe.

“The Wuji Sect!” Huang Long murmured to himself.

If the Wuji Sect ruled the entire Wuji Universe, one could imagine its immense power. Even the Tiandao Sect in the Three Thousand Universes wasn’t strong enough to rule the entire universe.

“Although the Wuji Sect rules the entire Wuji Universe, it probably doesn’t have any experts above the Daluo realm!” said the World Tree at that moment.

“Oh? No experts above the Daluo realm?!” Huang Long was stunned.

The World Tree continued, “That’s right. This Wuji Universe was created by me later on, nearly a hundred eras after the three thousand universes. Moreover, the laws of heaven in this Wuji Universe are not complete. Although it is rich in spiritual energy, the creatures here progress slowly in cultivation.”
So?! After hearing the World Tree’s explanation, Huang Long felt delighted.
As long as there were no powerful beings at the Great Luo realm like the Central Holy Lord or the Xuanhuang Holy Lord, things would be easy.
“The headquarters of the Wuji Sect is located at the very center of this Wuji Universe, in the highest layer of space. I believe the main trunk of the World Tree must also be there!” the World Tree said solemnly.
“Good, then let’s head to Wuji Space now!” Huang Long nodded. In a flash, he broke through the space of this divine realm and entered a higher level.
And so, Huang Long kept moving forward, layer after layer of space.
After passing through countless layers, Huang Long finally stopped.
“This is the headquarters of the Wuji Sect, Wuji Space!” At a glance, Huang Long saw that Wuji Space was filled with greenery, exuding a strong sense of life energy.
This life energy was something Huang Long was most familiar with—because it was the aura of the World Tree!
Without a doubt, the main trunk of the World Tree was in this Wuji Space!
Huang Long extended his divine sense and flew toward the center of Wuji Space.
In this Wuji Space, mountains stretched endlessly; there were hardly any seas or grasslands, only towering peaks.
As he flew, Huang Long used his divine sense to observe everything around. Within the scope of his divine sense, the situation over hundreds of millions of miles came into view.
“Hm? Hunyuan Supreme Realm?” After more than two hours, Huang Long’s divine sense finally detected the first Hunyuan Sage in this Wuji Universe.
However, Huang Long ignored him and continued flying.
Wuji Space was vast. Even after flying for over three hours, Huang Long still hadn’t reached its center.
Suddenly, Huang Long’s flight came to a halt. He stared fixedly ahead, then couldn’t help but laugh in excitement and joy.
The main trunk of the World Tree!
It was indeed the main trunk of the World Tree!
Ahead, a huge, indescribable mountain pillar stretched before Huang Long—its width and height unknown in the thousands of miles!
With Huang Long’s strength, even his Heavenly Eye couldn’t reach its peak!
The main trunk of the World Tree had finally been found!
