Chapter 1338

Cai He and Du Sisi were also listening extremely intently on the side.

The old woman pondered for a while and then said, “It is said that the Immortal Tree is a strange tree that has existed since the beginning of the birth of heaven and earth. It is immortal and indestructible, coexisting with heaven and earth and taking on thousands of forms. And that Immortal is its tree sap. However in the legend, there were some people with good fortune who had obtained some Immortal. But no one had seen the Immortal Tree. Whether it really exists or not, this old woman doesn’t know.”

“So that’s how it is!” Yang Kai stroked his chin, lost in thought. If that was really the case, then it would be more reliable to cultivate the Indestructible Five Elements Sword. Even if the description on the Indestructible Five Elements Sword was somewhat exaggerated, overall, it was still a good body tempering cultivation technique. After cultivating it, it would definitely be of great help to oneself. As for the Immortal essence and the Immortal Tree they both only existed in the illusory and ethereal, which was too unrealistic.

“Alright, that’s all for the matter of the three great divine waters. Let’s first divide these Life Nectar.” The old woman waved her hand, and her expression became much more solemn. Looking at the three Saint King Realms, she said, “I won’t bully the small with my seniority and take advantage of you juniors. How about we four evenly divide the Life Nectar here？”

Cai He and Du Sisi looked at each other and nodded in great joy, saying yes.

Yang Kai naturally had no objections either.

So the old woman immediately took out several jade bottles and began to use her means to take out those Life Nectar from the pool. The whole process was under the watchful eyes of the three Saint King Realms. The old woman didn’t do any tricks either. She indeed evenly divided a pool of Life Nectar into four parts, and each person took one part.

“Keep the things well, but after going back, absolutely, absolutely don’t expose them to irrelevant people！” The old woman solemnly reminded again.

“Yes！” Cai He and Du Sisi tightly held the Life Nectar in their hands, with red faces, and then carefully put the jade bottles into their own space rings.

With such a precious thing in hand, no one felt that this trip was in vain. And Du Sisi had no reason to blame Cai He for making his own decision and bringing her to the black spatial array gate. Deep down, she was even a little grateful.

If it weren’t for Cai He, she might have missed out on such a rare treasure.

“Let’s go. We’ll look for a way out again.” The old woman seemed to be in a rather good mood. After saying this, she led the three Saint King Realms and flew towards the distance.

Yang Kai remained silent the whole time. It was not until just before leaving that he turned around and took a look at that rockery, a strange look flashing in the depths of his eyes.

The Life Essence Nectar since it is claimed to be one of the three great divine waters, logically speaking, its effect couldn’t be just that little. The old woman had just tested it and it only made her a few years younger, which was clearly unreasonable.

Moreover, the old woman dividing the Life Essence Nectar into four equal parts also puzzled Yang Kai. Judging from her strength and age, she could have taken more. Even if she had made such a request, Yang Kai believed that Cai He and Du Sisi would not have refused. He himself would not have refuted either. But the old woman only asked for one-fourth, seemingly very magnanimous.

When combined with the traces of the liquid flowing on the rockery, Yang Kai secretly felt that the pool of Life Essence Nectar that they had discovered might not be pure Life Essence Nectar.

Perhaps… it was a diluted product that had flowed over from somewhere！

If we can follow the direction of the flow and search all the way, maybe we can find more and purer Life Elixir！

If this is really the case, then the old woman’s actions can be easily explained. She probably also noticed this. So she divided those Life Elixir equally to stabilize us first, while she herself had the idea of coming here to explore again at another time.

This is not an impossible thing！ Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Yang Kai’s lips. Others have this idea, and he doesn’t necessarily not have it. After all, it is more fulfilling and satisfying to monopolize good things alone.

Of course, these are just his own speculations. Whether it is really like this remains to be verified.

About a day later. The four people gathered together again and told their respective discoveries in turn.

Previously, after half a day of exploration, everyone found that there was really no danger here. Immediately, they decided to act separately to find a way out. And after spending another half a day, they met here.

After telling each other’s discoveries, Yang Kai immediately understood that the place where they are now located is a semi-closed place with a very large area. Except for the Life Elixir discovered by everyone before, there is no precious treasure worthy of attention at all, and there are not many exits either.

The only exit was discovered by Cai He.

After he finished talking about the situation over there, the old woman then said thoughtfully： “So, we can only leave this place from that exit now？ Cai kid, is there anything worthy of attention there？”

“In reply to the senior’s question, there is only one thing worthy of note. In front of that exit, there is a human-shaped statue more than ten zhang tall. It looks fierce and repulsive, and it is just standing there. The exit is right under its crotch.”

“Human-shaped statue？” The old woman frowned.

That’s right. Besides that, there are no other doubts.

The old woman nodded slightly： “In that case, let’s go and take a look first.”

After some discussion, the four of them headed towards the location discovered by Cai He. Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the destination. Cai He pointed to the front and said： “Senior, that is the exit I discovered.”

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed and couldn’t help but look happy, because there was indeed a round door over there, dark and bottomless. When the spiritual thoughts were probed into it, it was like a stone sinking into the sea and disappeared without a trace. I have no idea what’s going on inside at all.

And in front of that round door, there was really a statue more than ten zhang tall with a ferocious face standing there, with its legs spread apart, and the round door was right under its crotch. This scene made everyone smile bitterly.

Although it was just a statue, passing through the crotch of the other party still made people feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

Moreover, whether there are any strange places in this statue remains to be investigated. The old woman immediately remained silent and released her spiritual thoughts to carefully explore the statue. Yang Kai did the same.

After a long while, the old woman finally retracted her spiritual sense and said in a low voice, “This statue doesn’t seem to have any problems. There is no fluctuation of restrictions, nor any trace of formations. However, everyone should be careful. Since the statue exists here, there must be some tricks. Don’t be careless.”

Several Saint King Realm juniors naturally agreed quickly and became extremely vigilant.

The restrictions of this ancient ruin are extremely hidden. Even Fei Zhitu sometimes couldn’t detect the slightest bit. If not for this, when everyone first entered this place, they wouldn’t have been trapped in the formations one after another.

This statue might very well be the mechanism to trigger some restrictions.

The old woman’s eyes flickered with a solemn expression. She opened her mouth and spat out a ray of earth-yellow light. The light flashed and wrapped her entire body. It was unknown what kind of strange treasure’s power it was, but it looked extremely solid.

With this layer of protection from the strange treasure, the old woman’s complexion became slightly calmer, and she said slowly, “I’ll open the way in front. You all follow closely.”

Yang Kai and the others also quickly sacrificed their own defensive secret treasures and closely followed behind the old woman.

A moment later, the old woman walked to a dozen zhang in front of the round door. During this process, she had been carefully observing the surroundings to prevent any accidents, and most of her attention was also focused on that statue.

But until now, there has been no change, which makes her couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all since entering this area, everyone has not encountered any danger anymore. She thinks in her heart that this place is probably really extremely safe.

But she didn’t relax her mind because of this. Instead, she became much more vigilant.

After walking forward another dozen steps, there was still no incident. The old woman sneered and was just about to say something when a slight sound suddenly came from the human-shaped statue standing in front.

Hearing this sound, everyone’s complexion changed drastically.

And the reaction of the old woman was even faster. With a flash of her figure, only an afterimage was left in the original place, and she quickly retreated.

But a terrifying scene happened to her. In mid-air, a huge palm attacked from the side with lightning speed and held her in the palm of its hand. She didn’t even have a chance to dodge.

“Senior！” Cai He exclaimed, and his eyeballs trembled violently.

Yang Kai also showed a look of surprise and lost his voice and said, “Puppet？”

At this moment, the human-shaped statue that originally had no movement actually moved. Moreover, dark red bloomed in its eyes, looking terrifying and frightening. Although its seemingly clumsy and huge body the speed at which it moved was daunting.

Yang Kai followed right behind the old woman and saw clearly what had just happened. The moment the human-shaped statue made a sound, its big hand swung over. Although the old woman’s reaction was fast, she was still caught by the other party in one fell swoop.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. By the time Yang Kai jumped away reflexively, the old woman had already been captured.

After all, she was a martial artist at the Void Return 1-layer Realm, and had been immersed in this realm for many years. The old woman’s methods were not something that an ordinary Void Return Stage martial artist could compare to. As her Saint Yuan surged desperately, she stretched out a finger, and a huge blade suddenly took shape, slashing fiercely at the puppet’s hand that was grasping her body.

A clear metal intersection sound rang out, and a shower of sparks. The old woman was dumbfounded because the puppet’s big hand was actually unscathed, not even a mark was left.

And it seemed that this strike also made the huge puppet furious. The red light in its eyes flashed, and the big hand that was holding the old woman’s body actually tightened its grip.

The old woman’s face turned ashen, and a power no less than that of a Void Return 2-layer Realm martial artist burst out from her withered body as she struggled violently.

It was of no use. That big hand was like an iron hoop, tightly binding her body. No matter how she urges her Saint Yuan to struggle, it was to no avail.

Kacha kacha…

A despairing sound came. The earthen yellow protection that the old woman had previously arranged outside her body couldn’t withstand the grip of the puppet’s huge hand. It quickly cracked countless gaps, and the next moment, it shattered and turned back into a bead-shaped secret treasure, falling to the ground and turning into powder.

This protective secret treasure was actually directly destroyed！
