Chapter 936: Tree Spirit

Pictures popped up in front of Han Fei’s eyes, and he had mixed feelings.

He remarked, “Old Ren, did you really never come up with a way of taking it out after you found it?”

Ren Tianfen snorted. “I would’ve taken it if I could. Do you understand now? If you do, get inside!”

Han Fei rolled his eyes. “How can I understand so quickly? I need to watch it longer.”

Han Fei truly wanted to watch it longer. In the pictures, apart from the distribution of stars, the coexistence of the five elements seemed to enhance them.

If Han Fei’s guess was correct, the five elements were among the keys too.

Huh? If all the stars fell down, they would form the Eight Diagrams, wouldn’t they? Wait, who can possibly understand the Eight Diagrams here? Is it a coincidence? But there has to be Yin and Yang if there are Eight Diagrams…

But Han Fei didn’t know anything about this!

Ren Tianfen said, “It’s impossible for you to understand it just by watching. You have to get inside in order to comprehend it.”

Han Fei looked at Ren Tianfen. “You’re not coming?”

Ren Tianfen smiled casually. “Of course I am.”

Han Fei was quiet for a moment. “How do I come out?”

Ren Tianfen said, “Easy. You’ll automatically come out in seven days. If you don’t find anything in seven days, you’ll wait for next year!”

Han Fei gasped hard. He didn’t know that he only had seven days!

Ren Tianfen stepped forward. “I’ll go inside first. It depends on your luck whether or not you can acquire the painting. Fighting is not forbidden inside. Just kill whoever is from the Thousand Star City even if they’re so-called Heavenly Talents.”

Han Fei was lost for words. “That’s easier said than done.”

Ren Tianfen said, “Unfortunately, I’ve been separated from my body for too long. But since you have an Indestructible Body, everything should be fine for you in there as long as you’re not trapped by the Nine Sound Maze.”

Han Fei asked in surprise, “Nine Sound Maze?”

Ren Tianfen said, “Not everybody who enters the painting can come out. The Nine Sound Maze contains the nine sounds of the ultimate truth. Of course, there may be more sounds, but you can only hear nine of them in the painting. If you’re caught in them, you’ll be caught in the painting. Not everybody will come out.”

“Nine sounds? Are they related to Jiuyin Ling?”

Han Fei didn’t think it was right. They were probably not related to Jiuyin Ling but the Comfort and Nature Technique…

Han Fei couldn’t help but wonder if the person that Jiang Qin had been looking for was trapped in the painting.

Jiang Qin had always been searching eagerly, yet she gave away the opportunity to him. It seemed that she had high hopes for him!

Thinking that, Han Fei said, “Okay, I’m going in.”

…

The moment Han Fei and Ren Tianfen stepped into the painting, Han Fei found that he was alone.

As he expected, everybody who entered the painting would end up in a random location.

This time, Han Fei didn’t appear in the sky or the ocean.

He showed up on a mountaintop next to a steep cliff. The view was quite magnificent.

“How splendid!”

The painting depicted a world where wind was blowing and stars were shining.

Han Fei looked around. Did it mean anything that he appeared on this mountaintop?

Wind was not among the five elements. Rather, it was one of the Eight Diagrams…

Han Fei rubbed his head. Wait, wait. He must not think that way. This wasn’t his world. If he thought that way, there would be too much information he wasn’t aware of, and it would never be possible to crack the secret of the Sea Quelling Painting.

“There has to be a pattern.”

Han Fei didn’t start searching blindly. Instead, he sat on the cliff and considered what it was that he should look for here.

Han Fei unconsciously performed divination. Then, he vaguely sensed something wrong about the place he was sitting.

Huh? The spiritual energy is extraordinarily abundant here. This is a great spot for training…

Han Fei was quite amused. If he were an ordinary person, he could’ve worked as a fortune teller with this skill.

Wait a minute!

Han Fei suddenly rose. He didn’t come here for nothing. This was a great place for training, as well as a place where natural essence gathered.

Is it luck?

Han Fei’s eyes glittered. Right! The competition for the Sea Quelling Painting is one of luck anyway. If I gather other people’s luck, won’t I dominate all the luck here?

Han Fei thought something through. Getting to the bottom of it, he had to win.

But didn’t it mean he had to kill other people. That seemed to be the only way to take away their luck.

He tried practicing the Void Fishing Art on the mountaintop. There was nothing special except that the training was faster and purer.

Han Fei looked up at the sky. It was already dawn and the stars were dim. Nothing wrong could be seen.

Hum!

Han Fei jumped off of the cliff and unfolded the Phantom Glass Wings. Next to the cliff was a dense forest and swamp at its bottom. There were vine bridges that seemed to be built by humans among some trees.

I must be in one of the forests in the painting. Considering the cliff, I must be the one close to the bottom left corner.

Now that he had come in, he was no longer anxious. He didn’t find the source of the problem even with Ren Tianfen’s guidance, so he probably had to travel across what was labeled as the Land of Five Elements.

Han Fei remembered that there was a mangrove on the top left corner of the Sea Quelling Painting. He decided to check it first after he was done here.

…

In the forest, to his surprise, Han Fei didn’t find any strange beasts. He found some small fish swimming inside the water, but their levels were very low and they were similar to the big yellow fish. They had nothing special about them.

The forest, on the other hand, was dim and quiet. Nothing could be heard except the flowing water. Vines dangled down from the trees that had been worn out by time.

Han Fei summoned Little White and kept Little Black in Forge the Universe in case of any accident.

Han Fei asked, “Daughter, do you feel any special treasures here?”

Little White swam around Han Fei like a fairy.

It left sparkles falling from its trail, which amazed Han Fei, as it indicated that the breakthrough was extraordinary!

After only three seconds, Little White said innocently, “Dad, there’s a powerful vibe, but nothing dangerous.”

“Powerful, but not dangerous?”

Han Fei instantly said with a smile, “Take me there.”

If Little White said it wasn’t dangerous, it couldn’t be. Han Fei moved at full speed and came to the source of the powerful vibe shortly.

At this moment, Han Fei opened his mouth and exclaimed, “What a thick tree!”

In front of Han Fei’s eyes was a huge tree!

Its diameter was probably above five hundred meters, which was shockingly thick. Also, the tree didn’t look very tall, mostly because it grew inside a deep pit with one side against the cliff.

Information popped up in Han Fei’s eyes.

<Name> Tree Spirit

<Introduction> A special and weird creature that’s between a life and a law of nature. It loves serenity and contains infinite vitality. It’s a symbol of life.

<Level> 69

<Quality> Legendary

<Spiritual Energy> ???

<Battle Techniques> Sweet Drizzle, Death Reverse

<Unabsorbable>

Han Fei gasped hard when he saw “Legendary”. A level-69 legendary creature? This was not just any legendary creature; it was truly legendary!

It was a top expert, comparable to a Law Enforcer, but was probably as strong as an Explorer.

If human beings and other creatures in nature were to be compared, if they were of the same level, human beings were only as strong as the rare or exotic creatures.

If the quality of a creature was legendary, only the Heavenly Talents among human beings could compete with them.

However, they couldn’t beat anything legendary at all. Only the once-in-a-hundred-year top Heavenly Talent could fight them. The case with the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp was the same.

Human beings of the same level as the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp could hardly beat it.

At this moment, if this level-69 legendary tree was dangerous, Han Fei didn’t think that he could beat it at all even though he had the invincibility skill, which wouldn’t work on a target whose level was so high.

“Huh, a human being!”

While Han Fei was thinking, he heard an old voice.

Han Fei instantly stepped back. “Mr. Tree?”

Han Fei was quite adaptive. When he heard the voice, the very first thing he thought was that it came from this tree, like what happened with the Leafless Tree.

An illusion appeared in front of the tree. He was an old man with white hair and beard and held a club. He was staring at Han Fei in a friendly way.

Han Fei’s pupils contracted. The tree can turn into a human?

He asked in surprise, “Senior Tree?”

The old man waved his hands, and a wooden table and vine chairs appeared. He said casually, “Human beings don’t often come here… Until recently.”

Han Fei asked in surprise, “Who else came?”

The old man replied, “Several men came a few decades ago. I offered some treasures to each of them.”

Han Fei’s lips twitched. You call a few decades ago recent? I wasn’t even born yet back then!

Han Fei saw a wooden teapot, and Spirit Awakening Fluid inside it.

Han Fei was quite stunned. Wasn’t it too much of a luxury to entertain guests with that?
