Chapter 452: Is It That Difficult To Give It For Free?

Everyone was looking forward to the descent of Huang Shi!

At that moment, space warped and surged.

Endless divine light burst forth from the void. Dense mist shrouded the nine heavens, revealing a dazzling scene.

A mighty figure walked out of the sky. He seemed to have fused into one with the sky, his aura vast and unfathomable.

He slowly walked over. With every step he took, laws seemed to surround him, as if he was an unmatched monarch, making heaven and earth submit to him.

Though it was just a projection, his aura was still extremely terrifying, making everyone’s minds tremble greatly.

He was like a god that had descended into the mortal world, making everyone feel reverent toward him.

Everyone’s eyes were fervent. They lowered their heads and shouted with reverence, “Welcome, Imperial Lord!”

This projection was none other than Huang Shi!

“Greetings, fellow Daoists!”

Huang Shi’s tone was calm like a breeze, and it caused others to not feel the slightest pressure.

“The Supreme Sky Tree World is about to open, but this world is not as simple as it seems. I will inform you of what I know about the situation in the Supreme Sky Tree World. There are some things to take note of. I hope everyone will remember them!”

Huang Shi’s projection spoke slowly. His voice was like the profound voice of the nine heavens, resounding in everyone’s ears.

“Thank you for your guidance, Imperial Lord!”

Everyone sighed.

It was a great honor for them that Huang Shi was willing to impart his experience.

What’s more, the internal situation of the Supreme Sky Tree World was of utmost importance.

Back then, Huang Shi had spent 100 years meditating in the Supreme Sky Tree World, gaining tremendous benefits from it.

He definitely knew the situation in the Supreme Sky Tree World like the back of his hand.

To be able to receive the teachings of an existence of this level, wouldn’t one’s cultivation soar to the sky?

Everyone immediately focused their attention and listened carefully.

Huang Shi nodded slightly before explaining what one needed to know about the Supreme Sky Tree World.

…

The Supreme Sky Tree World was different from other blessed lands. This was a special region that was independent of the outside world.

The requirements to enter the Supreme Sky Tree World were extremely high, far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Not only did it require a strong aptitude for comprehension, but it also needed one to resonate with the Dao emitted by the Supreme Sky Tree in order to enter.

And even if one managed to enter the Supreme Sky Tree World, it did not mean that they would obtain a great harvest.

Inside it was an ocean full of Daos that contained a myriad of Dao Intents.

One formidable Dao Intent was capable of suppressing one’s mind, causing their mind to collapse. It was utterly impossible to comprehend the Dao in meditation.

Even if someone with weaker talent entered the Supreme Sky Tree World, they wouldn’t be able to stay for more than a few days.

There were too many Dao Intents in the Supreme Sky Tree World, and every single one of them was filled with boundless and unfathomable temptation, causing it to be very easy for one to be lost.

Once one lost focus and was in a mess, or if one was too greedy and wanted to comprehend too many great Daos, it would backfire on them.

This was the easiest way to suffer the backlash of the Heavenly Dao, causing one’s own Dao to become chaotic.

The consequences would be dire.

Once the Heavenly Dao injured one, their Dao Heart would shatter, or even worse, they would experience Qi Deviation.

Only those with a stable Dao Heart and a firm mind could obtain benefits from the small world.

…

This was merely a small portion of the dangers in the Supreme Sky Tree World. There were many others inside it.

There were not only complete great Daos there but also many broken Daos.

As time went by, the broken Daos started to have their own mind and wisdom.

They would slowly turn into independent living entities by themselves and become Dao demons.

Although Dao demons had the ability to think, they did not have the slightest bit of emotions. Hence, they only knew how to kill!

They were powerful and controlled the powers of various great Daos. They were the greatest threat in the Supreme Sky Tree World.

Dao demons were like mental demons that constantly interfered with those who were trying to comprehend the Dao. They would even attack and devour them to strengthen themselves.

No matter how good a cultivator’s perceptivity and talent were, it was very difficult for them to withstand Dao demons without powerful combat strength.

It could be said that the Supreme Sky Tree was specially created for top geniuses.

Only those with great talent and battle prowess could obtain great harvests and walk the path of invincibility.

Apart from this, there was another great fortuitous opportunity in the Supreme Sky Tree World.

If one killed a Dao demon, their corpse would turn into a great Dao fragment.

Great Dao fragments were condensed from the Daos and could be directly refined by cultivators.

If one were to refine it, they would be able to speed up their comprehension of the Dao profundities by 1,000 times!

…

When this piece of information spread, some were happy, while others were sad.

Those who were worried were those who were not talented enough but wanted to join in the party.

It was extremely difficult to enter the Supreme Sky Tree World, and there were great risks hidden within. This tempted people to go in even if it carried a high risk of death.

And the people who were happy were those with extraordinary talent and outstanding strength.

Not only could they enter the Supreme Sky Tree World to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, but they could also obtain Dao fragments by killing Dao demons to raise their comprehension of the Dao.

As long as one killed a large number of Dao demons and obtained a large number of great Dao fragments, their Dao comprehension speed would greatly increase.

Many people were excited and couldn’t wait to enter the Kunlun Mountain Range.

“This is all I have to say. I hope all of you will act according to your ability.

“Don’t be rash. It’s not worth it.

“Next, the academy’s teachers will set up a teleportation array to send you all into the Kunlun Mountain Range.

“I wish all of you success!”

As Huang Shi finished speaking, his tone was filled with seriousness.

In this world, there was no lack of geniuses. Nonetheless, standing out among so many geniuses was the most difficult.

100 years of cultivation in the Supreme Sky Tree World would allow one to differentiate true geniuses from others.

And this was what Huang Shi valued the most.

“I wonder how many people will remain after 100 years…”

Huang Shi sighed, and his projection slowly dissipated.

“Thank you, Imperial Lord!”

Everyone thanked him.

Huang Shi’s teachings had not only informed them of the internal situation of the Supreme Sky Tree World. They now even knew the dangers awaiting them in the Supreme Sky Tree World!

These were important pieces of information.

As long as they were careful, they would be able to survive in the Supreme Sky Tree World.

Instantly, everyone was filled with gratitude toward Huang Shi.

…

At this time, all the teachers also started to get busy and set up the teleportation array.

As the Kunlun Mountain Range was located in Middle Ground’s western part, it was still a long way from Jixia Academy.

The teleportation array required was also extremely powerful.

These teachers were all top-notch existences in the academy. Their cultivations were powerful, and thus they didn’t spend much time constructing a teleportation array.

After the array was activated, the cultivators were allowed to choose whether to proceed independently.

However, as expected, more than 90% of the Jixia Academy prodigies chose to give it a try.

The path of cultivation was to fight for a chance of survival with heaven and earth.

The Supreme Sky Tree World would only open once every 8,000 years. It was a supreme mystic realm!

Even if there was danger, no one retreated!

Soon, most of the students entered the teleportation array and headed for the Kunlun Mountain Range.

“Let’s go!”

Shen Tian spoke and entered the array with the other elites who were on good terms with him.

When they appeared, they were already in another region.

Kunlun Mountain Range…

Mountain ranges and towering clouds surrounded this place.

The air was filled with a hazy mist, dense and resplendent. Spirit Qi filled the surroundings.

Ancient trees that were as thick as water buckets towered between heaven and earth, filled with the traces of time.

The Spirit Qi that filled the sky converged over, and the density was not inferior to that of the Great Wilderness Region.

Upon entering this place, everyone felt delighted, as if they had entered a paradise on earth.

Many people began to look around, wanting to take a look.

However, Elder Su shouted, “Don’t wander around. Be careful not to get lost! It is said that a great terror is hiding within the Kunlun Mountain Range!

“Also, once you are lost, you will definitely not be able to escape from here!”

The Kunlun Mountain Range was too mysterious. No one knew what was hidden inside.

There was once an Immortal who had entered the depths of the mountains, but he had been completely lost and never appeared again.

After this, even top experts would not easily enter the depths of the Kunlun Mountain Range.

Upon hearing Elder Su’s words, everyone was shocked and did not dare to walk around casually.

“As long as we don’t enter the inner region, there’s no danger,” Elder Su explained and led everyone into the Kunlun Mountain Range.

…

The Supreme Sky Tree was located in the periphery of the mountain range.

Under the guidance of the teachers, everyone quickly reached the Supreme Sky Tree’s location.

This place was incomparably vast and filled with mist. Everything in sight was a vast expanse of white.

There was only a gigantic ancient tree at the center.

This ancient tree was so tall that its peak could not be seen. Just its width alone was several tens of thousands of kilometers.

It didn’t look like a tree at all, more like a heavenly pillar that supported heaven and earth.

There were even rumors that the peak of the tree led straight to the Celestial World. Therefore, the Supreme Sky Tree was also known as the Stairway to Heaven.

“Is this the Supreme Sky Tree?”

“It’s too magnificent!”

Countless people sighed.

After all, this was the first time they had seen such a magnificent ancient tree in their lives.

As the Supreme Sky Tree had just appeared, the Supreme Sky Tree World was not completely stable yet, so they could not enter.

Even so, there were still sounds of the Dao that the tree emitted, making one’s mind clear.

Merely staying here allowed one to become even closer to the Heavenly Dao.

Not to mention that they had still yet to enter the Supreme Sky Tree World.

Needless to say, the benefits one could reap inside were definitely much more.

…

During this period, other than those from Jixia Academy, many other powerful cultivators arrived one after another.

Some of them were itinerant cultivators who had come to seek their own fortuitous opportunity.

A portion of them were grand elder figures from the five regions’ sacred grounds.

They were less than 3,000 years old and still had a chance to enter the Supreme Sky Tree World.

Many experts greeted the academy’s teachers upon arriving.

This was because many of these figures were once students who had graduated from Jixia Academy.

Jixia Academy accepted all the geniuses of the five regions, so it could be said to be the sacred academy of the world with students from everywhere.

The cultivators here got along very well. They quietly waited for the opening of the Supreme Sky Tree World.

…

At that moment, Shen Tian, the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader, and the others arrived.

Since they couldn’t enter the Supreme Sky Tree World yet, they weren’t in a hurry and started chatting.

Some cultivators even directly started to comprehend the Heavenly Dao and strived to enter as soon as the Supreme Sky Tree World stabilized.

Shen Tian, on the other hand, went back to his old business and started brewing tea in a pot.

What he brewed was precisely Dao Comprehension Tea!

This place was a fortuitous opportunity wonderland for comprehending the Heavenly Dao of the world. If combined with the Dao Comprehension Tea, the effects would definitely be much more obvious!

Shen Tian saw faint images of the future fortuitous opportunities they would encounter appear above the heads of most of the prodigies present.

It was obvious that this was a good opportunity to build some friendships with them.

Moreover, Eunuch Gui and the others were also nearby.

Shen Tian naturally treated his own people better. He made them some Dao Comprehension Tea to increase their chances of entering the Supreme Sky Tree World.

His movements were extremely fast, skillfully brewing the Dao Comprehension Tea.

This time, he had added in two silver Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves.

Powerful Dao runes instantly filled the air, bringing along a rich fragrance that drifted for thousands of miles.

“What’s that smell?”

Everyone was immediately attracted.

Among them, there was no lack of sacred leaders.

“It’s Dao Comprehension Tea!”

“The Divine Firmament Saint is brewing Dao Comprehension Tea again!”

Everyone drooled when they saw the huge tea vat in front of Shen Tian.

Not everyone could enter the Supreme Sky Tree World.

Only if one could enter a state of enlightenment and resonate with the Supreme Sky Tree by listening to the sound of the Heavenly Dao could they enter.

However, this was definitely not a simple matter. Even a peerless genius would need to spend a great deal of time to accomplish this.

The Supreme Sky Tree World only existed for 100 years. Every minute and every second was extremely precious.

It would take a long time just to enter, let alone search for opportunities and treasures inside it.

It was said that there were many peerless treasures and cultivation techniques inside the Supreme Sky Tree World. Thus, being able to enter earlier meant that one could be one step ahead of everyone else.

Not only could one comprehend the Heavenly Dao, but they also had a greater chance of finding treasures.

Instantly, everyone’s gazes gathered on Shen Tian’s Dao Comprehension Tea, and they drooled.

Meanwhile, Shen Tian had already finished brewing the Dao Comprehension Tea. He picked up three cups and walked toward the Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader and his party.

“Master, Martial Uncle Azure Lotus, Old Ape King, please have some tea!”

The three of them were all on his side. Furthermore, they were all respected elders. Naturally, he had to serve them the tea first.

“How thoughtful of Tian’er!”

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader’s body shimmered with heavenly aura before he drank the Dao Comprehension Tea.

Soon, his body emitted endless divine light, causing the worldly laws to become closer.

This scene made many people extremely envious.

“Martial Nephew, I won’t stand on ceremony!”

Azure Lotus smiled and drank the Dao Comprehension Tea.

…

Only Qi Delong could not help but feel excited after seeing the Dao Comprehension Tea.

This level of Dao Comprehension Tea was priceless.

Under normal circumstances, Dao Comprehension Tea might not be as valuable as a Sage artifact. However, its value far exceeded that of a Sage artifact in a sacred land like the Supreme Sky Tree.

So what if one had more Sage artifacts? Would they be able to enhance their comprehension of the Dao?

That’s not possible!

On the other hand, the Dao Comprehension Tea could!

The generosity of Shen Tian to give such precious Dao Comprehension Tea to him moved Qi Delong.

Qi Delong laughed. “I even feel slightly ashamed by your generosity. How about this? I’ll use this top-grade Sage artifact in exchange!”

After he finished speaking, Qi Delong took out a staff-shaped Sage artifact that emitted a powerful spiritual pressure.

Dazzling divine light coiled around the rod, making it seem vast and immeasurable.

Even among top-grade Sage artifacts, it could be ranked as one of the top few!

Shen Tian smiled. “It’s just a cup of Dao Comprehension Tea. Old Ape King, you don’t have to do this.”

Shen Tian didn’t really need any more Sage artifacts. After all, he still had a basket of them.

Furthermore, the Old Ape King had stepped out to protect him before, and on top of that, he was also Qi Zhan’s grandfather.

Shen Tian wouldn’t be stingy with such people.

Furthermore, he had simply too many Dao Comprehension Tea Leaves!

Shen Tian brewed a huge vat of tea, so he didn’t care at all.

Qi Delong shook his head. “How can that work? This Dao Comprehension Tea is incomparably precious. How can I let my little friend waste it? This is my gift to you.

“Divine Firmament Saint, accept it!”

Shen Tian nodded. “Alright, thank you then, Old Ape King!”

Since Qi Delong insisted on giving it to him, Shen Tian was too embarrassed to refuse.

“No, no, I have to thank you!”

Qi Delong smiled brightly and accepted the Dao Comprehension Tea. After all, the value of a top Sage artifact here was far inferior to the Dao Comprehension Tea. He felt that he was the one who had benefited from that exchange.

…

Shen Tian then distributed the Dao Comprehension Tea to the other prodigies.

The prodigies who were on good terms with Shen Tian were naturally given a cup.

“Thank you, Brother Shen!”

The prodigies were filled with emotions.

The Divine Firmament Saint was indeed broad-minded. He was always thinking about them. It was a great honor to befriend a paragon like the Divine Firmament Saint!

This scene made the hearts of the other sacred leaders and grand elders itch. They also wanted to drink the Dao Comprehension Tea, but they were too embarrassed to ask for it.

There were even people who went to look for the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader and Azure Lotus to see if they could exchange some.

“I cannot decide on this matter!”

“However, I can help you ask for Tian’er’s opinion!”

The Dao Comprehension Tea belonged to Shen Tian, so it was not appropriate for the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader to make a decision on his own.

“Tian’er, what do you think?”

After Shen Tian heard this, he said righteously, “The five regions are about to face a great calamity. At that time, we will all work together as comrades who will advance and retreat together.

“Only when everyone’s strength increases together will we be able to better deal with the calamity and protect the five regions!

“I am not a stingy person. I am willing to share the Dao Comprehension Tea with all of you.”

Shen Tian had originally planned to use the Dao Comprehension Tea to befriend the various Children of Providence.

Even if they didn’t say it, Shen Tian planned to give it to them for free. After all, this thing was too precious to others, but not to him. He might as well use this opportunity to befriend them and find a chance to freeload on their fortuitous opportunities.

The most important thing was to improve his own providence!

…

Shen Tian’s words moved everyone.

The Divine Firmament Saint was actually so generous!

He was even willing to gift something as precious as the Dao Comprehension Tea.

Such magnanimity, such generosity.

They all felt ashamed at their inferiority!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said indifferently, “Alright! In that case, each of you can get a cup of Dao Comprehension Tea. Of course, if the Dao Comprehension Tea is not enough, I hope that those Dao friends who did not obtain it will not take offense!”

The moment the Divine Firmament Sacred Leader said that everyone was delighted.

Many people impatiently walked up, wishing to obtain Dao Comprehension Tea.

At that moment, someone shouted.

“How could I do that? The Divine Firmament Saint is generous. How can I be shameless enough to enjoy Dao Comprehension Tea for free?

“After all, money doesn’t come from nowhere.

“The Divine Firmament Saint must have paid a huge price to obtain this tea. And he’s willing to share it with everyone. This is unprecedented!

“If not for Divine Firmament Saint, how could we have the luck to drink Dao Comprehension Tea?

“No, I have to exchange it with a Sage artifact.

“I hope that the Saint will accept it.”

At this moment, a golden-furred ape stepped forward, shouting with righteous indignation.

This ape was a member of the Golden-Eyed Fire Ape Clan.

He had received orders from Qi Delong to liven up the atmosphere.

Qi Delong had long regarded Shen Tian as one of his own, so how could he let him suffer?

Moreover, he had already used a Sage artifact to exchange for it. How could he allow others to freeload?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

…

Everyone’s faces froze upon hearing the ape’s words.

These words were very straightforward. The Divine Firmament Saint was willing to give it because he was magnanimous!

But if you don’t exchange it with something, you’re being petty!

The people present were all sacred leaders and grand elders of the various sacred grounds. They all had to preserve their dignity.

If no one said those words, no one would care.

But after these words had already been said, how could they have the nerve to freeload?

The Dao Comprehension Tea was indeed more valuable than saint artifacts here!

Logically speaking, they should all exchange their treasures for it.

Furthermore, they were unable to resist the fragrance and effects of the Dao Comprehension Tea.

In an instant, the sacred leaders and grand elders of the various sacred grounds were too embarrassed to freeload. They all took out their Sage artifacts in exchange.

“Seniors, how can I accept this?”

Shen Tian was dumbstruck as he looked at the Sage artifacts that were about to pile up into a mountain.

…

He really hadn’t expected this to happen.

What happened?

Why did it turn into a marketplace?

To be honest, I am not selling tea!

Damn~

Is it that difficult to give it away for free!?
