Chapter 0956: Tianyi Mansion

It wasn’t long before Huang Long completely extracted the third fragment of the World Tree from the molten lava below.
Watching the third fragment, suspended in midair like an ancient giant mountain, Huang Long was filled with joy.
This third fragment was over 5,000 zhang tall and covered an area of more than 20,000 li—it was larger than both the first and second fragments of the World Tree. In fact, the first and second fragments combined were not even as big as this one!
“Great! With this fragment merged into the World Tree, just imagine how large it will grow!” Huang Long was secretly delighted and eagerly awaited the outcome.
Without hesitation, he placed the third fragment into the Sacred Cauldron, then activated it to vanish from the scene.
Since the silver-haired elder had said that six elders had come to the Treasure Refining Tower, Huang Long decided not to merge the third fragment into the World Tree right away and left first.
Although, with his current strength, he wasn’t afraid even if ten era-powerful warriors arrived, it was better to be cautious.
Huang Long made the Sacred Cauldron fly underground. After over an hour, they left this realm and hid in another realm’s underground.
Only then did Huang Long summon the World Tree out of his body.
The World Tree slowly emerged from Huang Long’s sea of soul, hovering above the Sacred Cauldron, emitting a brilliant green glow. Then, its white jade roots extended and wrapped around the third fragment.
Subsequently, clusters of milky white light began to emanate.
It wasn’t long before the third fragment shrank. With each reduction in size, the green glow of the World Tree intensified.
The World Tree’s glow grew stronger, and its trunk grew thicker and taller.
Vibrant life energy filled every corner of the Sacred Cauldron, as well as every part of Huang Yi and the others’ bodies, even their souls, making them feel as if they were immersed in a nourishing elixir.
Watching the changes in the World Tree, Huang Long was overjoyed, his smile widening.
Eventually, when the World Tree fully merged with the third fragment, its trunk reached a diameter of 50 li, and its height soared to 200,000 zhang!
Standing in the space of the Sacred Cauldron, its branches and leaves were so lush that they seemed ready to touch the sky.
As the World Tree’s glow fluctuated with each breath, streams of spiritual energy poured in from the void. If before there was just one stream of spiritual energy, now there were two!

In the past, ten thousand years were enough for the World Tree to generate one first-class spiritual vein; now, only five thousand years are required.
Five thousand years to create one first-class spiritual vein?!
Huang Long felt his heart tremble at the thought.
If Huang Long secluded himself in the Sacred Cauldron for ten thousand years, he could obtain two; a million years would yield two hundred; and a hundred million years, twenty thousand!
Not to mention a hundred million years—even ten trillion years would be but a blink of an eye for a semi-saintly powerhouse.
After suppressing his joy, Huang Long stored the World Tree in the Sea of Souls.
However, as it merged with the Sea of Souls, the laws of the Great Path within the sea emitted golden lights that gradually condensed, becoming even more solid than before.
Vaguely, Huang Long sensed a space—a space that did not belong to the three thousand great worlds.
Above these three thousand great worlds, there seemed to be an even higher realm, or perhaps a universe.
This universe, different from the three thousand universes, also originated from the World Tree before it shattered.
Yet, though he could sense it, the feeling was extremely vague, like a distant horizon—unreachable and untouchable.
After sensing for a while with no results, Huang Long gave up.
Next, he opened the spatial artifact of the silver-haired elder.
“With the Spirit-Communicating Jade in his hands, he must have found quite a few treasures over the years!” Huang Long thought to himself.
Once the spatial artifact was opened, countless treasures from various spaces appeared before Huang Long’s eyes.
Seeing the treasures in one after another space, although he had anticipated much, he was still stunned.
There were piles upon piles—planets after planets, realms after realms, spaces after spaces!
It was too much, absolutely too much!
Even if Huang Long had obtained the treasures from the bottom of the Lava Blood Cave, seeing what was stored there still filled him with awe.
One space was filled entirely with first-class spiritual veins—his divine sense detected over one million of them!
Another space contained only king-class spiritual veins, numbering over five thousand!
Yet another space held supreme-class spiritual veins, with more than thirty!
Although the number of first-class spiritual veins was not as large as those in the Lava Blood Cave, the king-class and supreme-class veins far exceeded them.
Furthermore, in one space, Huang Long discovered fragments of Great Path artifacts—mountains of lower-grade fragments, along with many middle-grade and high-grade ones.
Unfortunately, none of them were complete.

As for the other rare treasures, divine pills, and divine artifacts, Huang Long didn’t bother to look at them and simply absorbed them all into the Sacred Cauldron. Watching streams of first-class spirit veins, king-class spirit veins, and supreme-class spirit veins fly out of it, Huang Yi and the others were once again stunned, eventually falling into a dazed state. Unfortunately, however, Huang Long failed to find the Great Dao Divine Pill. By now, there were three million first-class spirit veins, over eight thousand king-class spirit veins, and fifty-two supreme-class spirit veins in the Sacred Cauldron! Huang Long now felt as though he could never use up all these spirit veins. Just recently, he spent only twenty thousand first-class spirit veins to buy the Green Dragon and Fire Phoenix Dual Swords in the Divine Space, and now he had gained another hundred and twenty or so! Huang Long even longed to visit the headquarters of the Ten Great Merchant Guilds right away to squander some of them. Initially, for the 118,000 ingredients needed to make the Pantheon Pilgrimage Pill, Huang Long was missing just over a dozen; now, he found he was only missing two more—One was the Heavenly Soul Stone, and the other was the Demon Devouring Fruit! “Heavenly Soul Stone, Demon Devouring Fruit!” Huang Long murmured to himself. When he left the Yuan Ci Spirit Wood Formation, his eldest senior brother Hong Peng had told him the secret recipe for crafting the Pantheon Pilgrimage Pill, so Huang Long had kept an eye out for it. This Pantheon Pilgrimage Pill was the second-ranked Great Dao Divine Pill, and consuming it brought numerous benefits. If Huang Long could craft it, taking it would surely help him break through to the ninth era. Even if taken at the peak of the ninth era, it could help him break through to the tenth era! Moreover, the benefits were far from just that. Huang Long called over Ok and asked about the Heavenly Soul Stone and the Demon Devouring Fruit. “Young master, are you looking for the Heavenly Soul Stone and the Demon Devouring Fruit? How about checking out the headquarters of Tianyi Mansion? You might be able to buy them there,” Ok said. Tianyi Mansion was the leader of the Ten Great Merchant Guilds in the three thousand great worlds! “Tianyi Mansion?” Huang Long pondered to himself.
