God Emperor - Chapter 840

Chapter 840: 840

Mu Lingxi and Han Xue had already started transporting the Divine Blood-red Earth . With the demon rat’s help, they were moving very quickly .

There were also some strong cultivators in the Ghost God Valley from other forces . No one knew when they would run over to fight for the resource . Thus, they had to be fast and transport most of the resource into the scroll world before the others arrived .

The Seven Star Sacred Tuber completely woke up after entering the scroll world . It transformed into a sacred vine that rose up to the sky . It was thicker than a millstone and shot into the clouds .

At the top of the sacred tuber, the sixth leaf that seemed like a blazing sun and the seventh leaf, like a bright moon, basically hung in the sky like the sun and moon . The world seemed strange under their illumination .

Thankfully, this was inside the scroll world . If it was outside, Zhang Ruochen and Blackie would probably have gotten crushed by its power before they could even get close .

“It really is the legendary Seven Star Sacred Tuber,” Blackie said . “The empress must have planted it below the god’s corpse . It absorbed the divine blood and after thousands of years of nurturing, the sacred medicine is mature . Even in the middle ages, something like this would cause a storm . All the Saints would fight to the death for the medicine . ”

“The leaves of the Seven Star Sacred Tuber are the Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Phoenix, Xuanwu, Kirin, Sun, and Moon . They correspond to different medicinal powers . There’s the idiom that dragons are spirited and tigers are strong . The first leaf, the Blue Dragon, can nourish one’s spirit . The second White Tiger Leaf can strengthen your body . ”

“Nourishing one’s spirit refers to aiding with the cultivation of Spiritual Power . If you can ingest the Blue Dragon Leaf, you can cultivate your Spiritual Power to the Supreme Sage’s level . It shouldn’t be hard for you . Strengthening one’s body isn’t just a regular refinement of the body . Instead, it turns your physical body into a Saint or Supreme Saint . In the past, an elder of the Peacock Clan had cultivated his body to the Supreme Saint Realm . No weapons or elements could enter his body . He’d surpassed the five elements and took three attacks from a god without dying . ”

“Of course, you can’t absorb the sacred medicine with your current cultivation . If you forcefully try it, it’ll be the same as suicide . The third and fourth leaves are even better . The Phoenix Leaf represents nirvana, which is also resurrection . The Xuanwu Leaf represents longevity . ”

Zhang Ruochen stared at the third Phoenix Leaf . His eyes were excited and he clenched his fists, knuckles popping . Was this really the legendary Pill of Resurrection?

Blackie continued speaking . “The fifth Kirin Leaf represents Qi Fate . If a Monk keeps the leaf on them, they can receive incomparable Qi Fate . Of course, I doubt this part . Even for sacred medicine, it’s not very possible to change someone’s Qi Fate . ”

“Then what kind of magical power do the two leaves on the top contain?” Zhang Ruochen asked .

“What I said before is all from ancient records,” Blackie said . “I can’t be sure that it’s all true . Plus, the records only have vague descriptions about the sixth and seventh leaves of the Seven Star Sacred Tuber . The only thing that’s definite is that the dew on the sixth and seventh leaves is known as the Sun Essence and Moon Essence . They’re very valuable treasures . If you drip a drop of Sun and Moon Essence on sacred medicine, its power will be boosted . ”

The effects of the fifth, sixth, and seventh leaves were too magical . They had surpassed a common man’s knowledge .

Instead, the surprising effects and values of the first four leaves really excited people .

Zhang Ruochen glanced at the root of the Seven Star Sacred Tuber . He saw a piece of jade the size of one’s head hanging on it .

The roots of the Seven Star Sacred Tuber wrapped around the jade tightly, enveloping it so that only a bit of the jade peeked out .

“What’s that?” Blackie also saw the jade .

Thus, it grabbed at the jade with its claws . The Seven Star Sacred Tuber instantly started shaking violently . The roots burst with extreme power and slapped at Blackie like whips .

Blackie forced the roots back and yanked the jade out . It played with the jade in its paws for a while but couldn’t figure it out . Finally, it just commented, “It should be a pretty good thing . ”

Zhang Ruochen took the jade . He immediately felt powerful wood-elemental Spiritual Qi stream from it . Then he activated his Spiritual Power to investigate the inner structure of the jade .

But he discovered that the jade was very dense . Even his Spiritual Power couldn’t squeeze into it .

“Its aura is similar to the Divine Sky-connecting Tree . ”

Instead of continuing to study it, he put the jade away and looked to the third leaf on the Seven Star Sacred Tuber .

The third leaf looked like a phoenix flying in the air . It was covered in flames, forming a bright red cloud of fire .

Expression serious, Zhang Ruochen said, “Blackie, go get the third leaf . I want to see if eating it will really bring someone back to life . ”

Sword Saint Xuanji had already died anyway . There was nothing to lose by feeding him the Phoenix Leaf . What if a miracle happened?

Blackie obviously understood Zhang Ruochen’s intentions . It immediately gathered its power and plucked a phoenix-like leaf . Then a black flame rose up from between its claws . It refined the Phoenix Leaf simply, turning it into a red cherry-sized pill .

“Here . ” Blackie handed the pill to Zhang Ruochen, but hesitated . Finally, he said, “This pill is very valuable, but it might not be able to resurrect a Saint with a scattered soul—”

Before Blackie could finish, Zhang Ruochen had already taken the pill and hurried over to Sword Saint Xuanji’s body .

Zhang Ruochen knew what Blackie meant . This Pill of Resurrection might not be able to save a Saint with a scattered soul, but it could definitely save a Monk who’d just died . Instead of wasting it on Sword Saint Xuanji, he should save it for himself .

However, he didn’t think of all that . Sword Saint Xuanji had saved him and he had to try, even if there was only a shred of hope .

Zhang Ruochen placed the red pill into Sword Saint Xuanji’s mouth . Then he began waiting .

After a candle’s time, the body finally started changing .

Slivers of red fire spewed from the pores all over Sword Saint Xuanji’s body . They transformed into a huge cloud of fire, shrouding the body .

A boiling heat wave rolled over, forcing Zhang Ruochen to retreat . The fire blazed, sometimes contracting, sometimes swelling . The corpse seemed to be breathing .

“Seems like there’s a chance . ” Blackie stared with its eyes wide open . It seemed nervous .

Right then, the Divine Sky-connecting Tree’s branches shook violently . Strands of Life Qi surged out of its leaves, flowing towards Sword Saint Xuanji .

Whoosh!

The jade in Zhang Ruochen’s arms was attracted by some invisible pull . Uncontrolled by Zhang Ruochen, it transformed into a beam of light and flew out .

The next moment, the jade appeared above Sword Saint Xuanji’s body .

Baked by the fire, dense patterns emerged on the jade’s surface . They looked very similar to the rings on the Divine Sky-connecting Tree’s trunk .

Boom!

Immense Life Qi poured from the jade . It was actually stronger than the Life Qi of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree .

Zhang Ruochen was surprised . He took out a withered sacred medicine leaf from his spatial ring . The leaf absorbed the Life Qi and its vitality was immediately replenished . Root hair and new leaves grew at a speed visible to the naked eye . Finally, a white medicine flower bloomed from within the leaf .

“The withered tree has returned to spring . ”

Zhang Ruochen couldn’t control the excitement within him . His hands started trembling .

If a withered tree could come back to life, then could humans do that too?

“How is this possible? How can something have stronger Life Qi than the Divine Sky-connecting Tree…no…I got it . I understand…”

Blackie was even more excited than Zhang Ruochen . Staring at the jade above Sword Saint Xuanji, it continued, “That…that’s the crystal of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree . It contains the essence of the tree and represents the source of its divinity . ”

“What are you saying?” Zhang Ruochen really couldn’t understand Blackie . How come it was this excited?

“In the middle ages, the god cut down the Divine Sky-connecting Tree and refined it into the jade that’s before our eyes right now,” Blackie said . “In other words, the saintly source is the crystal of a Saint’s lifetime power . This jade is the crystal of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree’s lifetime power . No wonder the Seven Star Sacred Tuber’s roots would latch onto the jade . It’s absorbing the jade’s power . ”

Zhang Ruochen understood now and it stole his breath . He looked back at Sword Saint Xuanji and the jade . His anticipation grew stronger .

Master, you must wake up!

Suddenly, the jade dipped down and entered Sword Saint Xuanji’s chest, melding with his body .

Blackie’s claws pawed at the ground subconsciously . “The Divine Sky-connecting Tree’s crystal actually became one with Sword Saint Xuanji’s body . This way, he really might come back to life . Plus, he received the Divine Sky-connecting tree’s inheritance . I really don’t know what heights he can reach once he’s resurrected . Haha! This is the treasure left behind by the empress . She must have left it for me . That Sword Saint Xuanji guy got it easy . ”

Just then, Mu Lingxi used a physical technique to rush over . She was in a hurry . “The monster ape sent a message that Monks of the Ancient Necromancer Race and Ghost Cultivation Race have reached the sea of lava . They must know that there are many treasures at the bottom . They might come to fight for it . ”

“They have good timing . ” Zhang Ruochen exhaled deeply and pursed his lips . “Senior Sister Duanmu, stay here and guard Master’s body . Have the demon rat and Han Xue continue transporting the Divine Blood-red Earth . I’ll go delay them . ”
