Chapter 910: Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Even the usually gloomy Liuhe Immortal Lord was deeply moved and even angry about this object, yet Ning Fan only expressed surprise for a moment before completely restraining his emotions. In this contrast, Miaoyan Immortal Honorific naturally valued Ning Fan even more.

What she took out was a small tree emitting a seven-colored glow, planted in a jade basin. The soil in the jade basin was rich with the aura of the great Dao, indicating it was undoubtedly Dao Soil.

"I never thought that the gift Miaoyan Immortal Honorific wants to give me is actually a Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree..." Ning Fan felt quite surprised in his heart and took a deep breath before saying to Miaoyan Immortal Honorific,

"This item is too precious; I cannot accept it!" His tone surprisingly had a hint of decisiveness.

Upon hearing this, Miaoyan Immortal Honorific regarded Ning Fan with even more respect, smiling softly, she said, "Though this items reputation is grand, its merely a sapling. Its value is not as immense as you imagine, Daoyou, feel free to accept it. Can it be that in your eyes, my life is worth less than this little tree? Besides, dont you need such a treasure tree to prove your cultivation..."

Of course, Miaoyan Immortal Honorifics words were simply polite. Even as a sapling, the value of the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree is immeasurable, far beyond what Dao Crystals can purchase.

The trees leaves are divided into seven colors, each made of different materials: purple gold, white silver, colored glaze, crystal, shell, coral, and amber. Thats why the tree can emit seven-colored light.

A Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree that hasnt recognized a master is called a sapling. Once it recognizes a master, seven-colored runes will appear on the trees body.

There are two ways to increase the number of seven-colored runes, one is at the initial recognition of the master, the other is through later nurturing.

As the runes increase, the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree will gradually grow, delivering certain benefits for every hundred zhang it grows taller. When the tree reaches a height of a thousand zhang, it can even be used to refine an Innate Treasure!

If it were just this, it wouldnt fully display the trees value. Its greatest value is that legends say once grown to ten thousand zhang in height, it can protect ones Dao, enhancing a slight chance of becoming a saint!

Of course, this is merely a legend. Within the Four Heavens, Seven Treasures Marvelous Trees are already rare, and no one has ever managed to grow one to ten thousand zhang high.

In the Western Heaven Immortal World, however, there was a Buddha Emperor who went through countless hardships and finally grew a Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree to a thousand zhang, refining it into an Innate Treasure. Among treasures of the same grade, few can withstand the sweeping of a Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree!

Although what Miaoyan Immortal Honorific is giving Ning Fan is just a sapling of the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree, its value is already significant...

In the past, Liuhe Immortal Lord offered the price of three Emperor Spirit Fruits to purchase this tree from Miaoyan; the price of an Emperor Spirit Fruit? At least capable of fetching two trillion Dao Crystals if sold...

"Even though this tree is a sapling, it is already quite precious; the Immortal Honorific should keep it for personal use..."

Ning Fan hadnt finished speaking when he was directly interrupted by Liuhe Immortal Lords cold and stern voice,

"This kid makes sense. Giving him the tree is a waste! Better sell it to me."

Miaoyan Immortal Honorific gently shook her head, looking only at Ning Fan, asking seriously, "Zhao Daoyou, you really dont want this tree? Theres something about me Zhao Daoyou might not know. Whenever I give something away, if someone returns it to me, I will destroy it immediately, regardless of its value..." Her implication was clear: if Ning Fan did not accept the tree, she would rather destroy it.

"If Ning Daoyou is worried about the issue with the seven-colored runes and refuses to accept the tree, Ive already thought of a way to help Daoyou cheat..." The last sentence was conveyed by Miaoyan Immortal Honorific through spirit sense.

Those on the first step of cultivation do not have the power to become the master of the sapling of the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree. Forcibly doing so would result in ones cultivation being devoured by the tree.

Only cultivators on the second step can become the master of the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree. However, the different cultivation levels result in a varied number of seven-colored runes appearing.

To cause ten seven-colored runes to appear during the first recognition, one must at least possess Guixuan Level cultivation.

To cause a hundred runes to appear requires at least a Truth-Transcending Cultivation Level.

To cause over a thousand runes to appear at once, one must at least be a Shekong Cultivator.

To make ten thousand runes appear on the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree during the first recognition, only a Thought-Shattering Cultivator could achieve this.

If an Eternal Immortal Venerable recognizes the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree, the first recognition would at least cause over fifty thousand seven-colored runes to appear.

Because of this tradition, Miaoyan Immortal Honorific had taken out the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree for Ning Fan to recognize as proof of his Immortal Venerable status.

Truthfully, Miaoyan Immortal Honorific wasnt certain if Ning Fans true cultivation reached the Eternity Realm; it was only a speculation on her part.

If Ning Fan truly were an Immortal Venerable, the tree would naturally prove his cultivation. If not, Miaoyan Immortal Honorific had yet another method to help Ning Fan cheat, ensuring over fifty thousand seven-colored runes appear on the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree at once, leaving Liuhe Immortal Lord no grounds to trouble Ning Fan...

"Nurturing the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree requires the use of a Dao Spring. I happen to have a small bottle of Sixth Grade Dao Spring in my possession. Once used..."

Miaoyan Immortal Honorific privately communicated to Ning Fan, her tone sincere.

Ning Fan gave Miaoyan Immortal Honorific a profound look, replying through spirit sense, "Thank you."

He was not a pretentious person. With Miaoyan Immortal Honorific speaking to this extent, if he still refused to accept the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree, it would appear overly affected.

He also wasnt someone to act ungratefully. If others kindly assisted him, he naturally wouldnt decline sternly.

"This tree, I will accept!"

Ning Fan took a deep breath, stepped closer to the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree, and with a flick of his finger, caused a drop of blood essence to fly directly towards the treasure tree.

The face of Liuhe Immortal Lord changed instantly, and he raised his hand abruptly, trying to prevent Ning Fan from recognizing the tree as his master. The Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree can only recognize a single master in its lifetime and cannot change. If Ning Fan became its master, even if he tried to seize it, he couldnt reclaim the tree.

His divine skills were still brewing at his fingertips, yet to be cast before Miaoyan Immortal Honorific slightly moved to block his path.

"This tree, I have already given it to Daoist Zhao, Six Harmonies Daoist should refrain from acting recklessly. I also have a habt, which Six Harmonies Daoist seems unaware of. If I find someone pleasing to the eye, I wouldnt allow others to harm him."

Miaoyan Immortal Honorifics phoenix eyes were cold as frost, with a veiled threat in her words. Clearly, if Six Harmonies insisted on taking action, she might likely fall out with him for Ning Fans sake.

Six Harmonies expression rapidly shifted through various shades, but in the end, he suppressed all dissatisfaction, put away all expressions, and closed his eyes as if in slumber.

He would no longer hinder Ning Fan from becoming the master of the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree. Offending Miaoyan for a mere sapling of the Seven Treasures Tree was not worth it!

He might look down on Ning Fan, doubt Ning Fans strength, but he would never doubt the might of Miaoyan Immortal Honorific.

With the great calamity upon us, sparking internal strife with Miaoyan over a treasure tree, over Ning Fan, would be utterly unwise...

"This ones illustrious war achievements have already been fully reported to me by Teng Nan and Teng Bei, but I dont believe this one could kill three Immortal Venerables in succession! If he truly possessed such strength, why would he come to the Nanli Fire Formation, why endure my provocations when he could simply act! If he truly had that power, who in the primitive wilds could stand in his way!"

"Moreover, this one has also been affected by the Summon Barbarian Technique. If he stays in the Nanli Fire Formation, he will bring endless trouble for me. Given my nature, such trouble should naturally be eliminated early, but Miaoyan shields this one at every turn... The only thing I didnt foresee was the weight this one bears in Miaoyans heart..."

"Forget it, lets give Miaoyan a bit of face and see how many runes this one can manifest from the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree!"

Though Six Harmonies Immortal Honorific appeared to be sleeping with closed eyes, his spirit sense was continually focused on the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree.

Suddenly, in a detached tone, he spoke to Ning Fan, "How about a wager? If you can make more than fifty thousand runes appear on the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree, Ill give you three Emperor Spirit Fruits. If you cant, I wont harm you; you just have to obediently leave the Nanli Fire Formation. Do you dare accept? If you dont, I wont force you."

Ning Fan ignored Six Harmonies Immortal Honorific; he wouldnt casually partake in a gamble where he had no assurance. The moment his essence blood entered the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree, he raised his palm and pressed it against the tree.

Immediately, the Seven Treasures Tree radiated streams of seven-colored brilliance, from within which the first seven-colored rune began to manifest, swirling around the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree.

Following the first rune, the second, third, and fourth runes appeared in succession.

Ning Fan closed his eyes, beneath his eyelids, azure light flashed vigorously.

Though his eyes were shut, he could clearly sense all the Dao traces flowing around the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree.

From these flowing Dao traces, Ning Fan gradually had an insight; the number of runes manifesting when the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree first recognizes a master is indeed related to the cultivation level of the recognizer, but is also closely tied to other factors.

Even for Eternal Immortal Venerables with the same amount of Mana, some could manifest fifty thousand seven-colored runes, while others could manifest eighty thousand or a hundred thousand.

The number of runes the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree reveals upon first recognition depends on three aspects: cultivation, bloodline, and Dao Enlightenment.

Ning Fans cultivation might not be very high, but his bloodline rank surpassed Six Harmonies Immortal Honorific by far. As for Dao Enlightenment, it had reached the Second Realm of Tianren, and only a mere few in the world could match Ning Fan, certainly not Six Harmonies Immortal Honorific.

With Ning Fans cultivation alone, he might not cause more than fifty thousand runes to appear on the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree, but with his bloodline and Dao Enlightenment added, fifty thousand runes would surely not be difficult!

"You really wont take this wager?" Six Harmonies Immortal Honorific spoke again.

This time, Ning Fan glanced oddly at Six Harmonies Immortal Honorific and retorted, "Youll regret making this bet with me."

"Regret? In all matters, my way is never to regret. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. Winning is winning, losing is losing. My path is the path of emperors, victory or defeat as long as it is by ones own abilities, I have no complaints. But if you cheat using someone elses power... I will not turn a blind eye!"

Six Harmonies Immortal Honorific hinted, expecting that Miaoyan Immortal Honorific might intervene secretly to aid Ning Fan.

"Since you never regret your actions, then lets make this bet. Lets see if I, with my strength alone and no external help, can make this tree manifest more than fifty thousand runes!"

Hearing this, Six Harmonies Immortal Honorific burst into laughter, opened his eyes, and with a sweep of his sleeve, three brocade boxes immediately appeared in the air, swirling around.

Inside those three brocade boxes were Emperor Spirit Fruits, the wager, which he was obliged to hand over if he lost the bet.

He ultimately didnt believe Ning Fan could manifest over fifty thousand runes, nor did he think he would lose.

Ning Fan kept his eyes tightly shut, and after making the bet, he didnt utter another word.

His cultivation was originally at the Mid Stage Enlightenment, and a Crossing Truth Realm cultivator could typically condense only a hundred runes.

Around the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree, seven-colored runes continually appeared, but when the number of runes reached five hundred, their rate of increase began to slow.

When they increased to eight hundred, the speed became as slow as a crawling tortoise.

When the count of seven-colored runes reached nine hundred and twenty-six, it seemed to hit a limit and couldnt increase further.

Six Harmonies Immortal Honorifics expression froze, and he thought to himself: is Ning Fans true cultivation merely at the Crossing Truth Realm? Unable to condense a thousand runes, he hasnt even reached the Shedding Void Realm standarda thousand runes.

Though he didnt believe Ning Fan was an Immortal Venerable, he also didnt think Ning Fan was merely at the Crossing Truth cultivation level.

Miaoyan Immortal Honorific was even more convinced that Ning Fan wasnt just a Crossing Truth Realm cultivator, secretly suspecting that Ning Fan might be preparing for some explosive act of power.

Neither of these two realized they had overestimated Ning Fan; 926 runes were Ning Fans true power, with nothing fabricated.

Based solely on cultivation, he could only obtain this many seven-colored runes, but if bloodline rank is included...

"Now, I possess four kinds of bloodlines: God, Demon, Monster, and Calamity. Among them, the Calamity Bloodline is the lowest, only at the Seven-Star Remnant Blood rank..."

Ning Fans gaze sharpened as he quietly activated the pressure of his Calamity Bloodline within his body. Although the pressure did not extend beyond a mere inch, it remained hidden within his palm. Even so, upon activating the Calamity Blood pressure, the runes surrounding the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree surged in number once again.

927, 928, 929...

The Taicang Calamity Sirit, equivalent in power to the Late Stage Enlightenment, along with this bloodline pressure, caused the number of seven-colored runes to soar straight to 1157 before it stopped.

"The runes stopped increasing? 1157, equivalent to the Initiate Realm of Shekong..."

Liuhe Immortal Lord shook his head, believing that the number of runes would certainly increase again.

In his mind, he considered Ning Fan to be at least a Thought-Shattering Cultivator.

In his impression, Ning Fan had survived the Seven True Seven Illusionary Arrows shot by Ancestor Dulong, which must have been because his cultivation was beyond the scope of the Enlightenment and Shedding Void stageslikely at the Thought-Shattering Realm.

If Ning Fan indeed had the Thought-Shattering Realm cultivation, along with some special methods, it would make sense for him to accomplish the world-shaking feats of saving Miaoyan and slaying the Barbarian Ancestor...

"1157 wasnt his full strength; it should increase more..."

Liuhe Immortal Lord thought confidently, and indeed, when Ning Fan withdrew the Calamity Blood pressure and activated the Divine Blood pressure, the number of runes on the treasure tree increased again.

Ning Fans level of Divine Blood was at the King level, but his Divine Blood wasnt just any Divine Bloodit was the true Ancient God Blood!

The true Ancient God Blood is extremely rare in the current world, and he also possessed three mind apertures!

Thus, his Divine Blood was exceptionally extraordinary; upon activating the Divine Blood pressure, the number of seven-colored runes skyrocketed immediately, increasing all the way to 3072.

After the runes reached such a number, Ning Fan scarcely paused before activating the pressure of his Monster Blood bloodline once more!

His Monster Bloodline was the Fu Li Demon Bloodline, reaching the ancestral-level of bloodlines, originally possessing four drops of ancestral blood, with three remaining after burning one that day!

A Monster Cultivator with three drops of ancestral blood, in any of the True Spirit Races, is certainly an Immortal King Level Old Monster!

Therefore, once Ning Fan activated the Monster Blood pressure, the number of seven-colored runes on the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree soared, with nearly a thousand new runes being born every breath!

Such a speed of rune increase was definitely astonishing!

Within ten breaths, the number of runes on the treasure tree reached over 15,000!

After sixty breaths, the number of runes on the tree directly broke through to about 71,000!

Liuhe Immortal Lord took a fierce step forward, seemingly wanting to get closer to see if these runes were fake.

After confirming that the runes werent faked, he carefully scrutinized Miaoyan Immortal Honorific, with a look of suspicion in his eyes, as if suspecting her of assisting. Yet from Miaoyan Immortal Honorifics eyes, he saw a trace of shock.

Evidently, the 71,000 rune count was not aided by Miaoyan; it was condensed by Ning Fan himself!

Miaoyan Immortal Honorific was secretly astonished, naturally shocked that Ning Fan had condensed 71,000 runes as if there was no one else present.

Such a number of runes, an ordinary Immortal Lord could absolutely not produce, and those who could create such a number of runes were at least some powerful Immortal Lords!

"Seventy-one thousand... Could this boy truly be an Immortal Lord? If he is indeed an Immortal Lord, then why... Hiss, the runes have increased again!" Liuhe Immortal Lord had begun to doubt his speculation when his gaze was once more shaken in the next instant.

Seeing the number of runes reach 71,000 and pause slightly, then starting to increase again.

This time, the runes soared all the way to 110,000 before they ceased rising!

This time, Ning Fan used the Demon Blood pressure, his Demon Bloodline was the Moluo Bloodline, not as rare as the Fu Li Bloodline, but with four drops of ancestral blood, more than the Fu Li Ancestor Blood, so the increase in runes wasnt too lacking either.

Liuhe Immortal Lords eyes were filled with incomprehensible shock, 110,000 runes! Such a number, only an Immortal King could accomplish!

"No! This boy couldnt possibly be an Immortal King! If he were an Immortal King, I wouldnt be a match for him at all; challenging him, he would have attacked directly! Hes not an Immortal King, yet how can one explain this number of runes..."

Liuhe Immortal Lords heart was unsettled, pondering, when suddenly he saw Ning Fan open his eyes.

He didnt see the fleeting azure spike in Ning Fans eyes; that azure spike was the full manifestation of the Tianren Second Realms azure qi!

He merely felt that at this moment, Ning Fans eyes seemed ancient and eerie, as if he could see through everything in the world!

Such an eerie gaze, Liuhe Immortal Lord had never seen anyone possess before, not even among the twenty-eight Ancient Emperors of Stars in the Four Oceans Sect!

Even a Quasi-Saints gaze might not penetrate souls as Ning Fans did!

That sense of seeing through all only flashed and then disappeared, never appearing again in Ning Fans eyes. It made Liuhe Immortal Lord almost feel that the sensation a moment ago was just an illusion...

He didnt know that the gaze was the result of Ning Fan utilizing the azure qi of the Tianren Second Realm.

There are three variables that can determine the number of runes on the Seven Treasure Wonder Tree: cultivation, bloodline, and enlightenment.

Relying on cultivation alone, Ning Fan can only make the number of runes reach 926.

Adding the four levels of bloodlines, he can make the number of runes exceed 110,000!

Now, adding the enlightenment of the Second Realm of Tianren, such high insight causes the runes around the Seven Treasure Wonder Tree to continuously emerge!

120,000, 130,000, 140,000...

The number of runes increased all the way to 1,350,000 before stopping. Such a quantity cannot be achieved even by ordinary Immortal Emperors!

Could Ning Fan possibly be an Immortal Emperor? Of course not!

The Liuhe Immortal Lord wouldnt believe that Ning Fan is an Immortal Emperor, but cant understand how Ning Fan was able to make the number of runes on the Seven Treasure Wonder Tree reach 1,350,000...

He stood there as if in a daze, staring at the Seven Treasure Wonder Tree, almost suspecting that the tree was fake.

If its not fake, then this Seven Treasure Wonder Tree must be broken...

If...

No matter what the Liuhe Immortal Lord thought in his heart, when he looked at Ning Fan again, he could no longer be as disrespectful as before, and there was caution in his eyes.

The more unknown something is, the more it incites caution and fear. The Liuhe Immortal Lord simply couldnt see what method Ning Fan used to produce the 1,350,000 runes...

"It seems Zhao won this wager."

Ning Fan cast a deep, warning-filled glance at the Liuhe Immortal Lord.

He believed that even if the Liuhe Immortal Lord didnt believe he had the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor, he would definitely be very cautious and wouldnt act rashly because of the 1,350,000 runes...

The Liuhe Immortal Lord wasnt known for a particularly good personality, but he always honored bets, for it was his path and he couldnt easily go against it.

In the end, he lost three Emperor Spirit Fruits to Ning Fan.

Miaoyan Immortal Honorific, with beautiful eys, was stunned and suddenly transmitted a message to Ning Fan, "Did you use some method I couldnt see to pour a large quantity of middle-ranked Dao Spring onto the Seven Treasure Wonder Tree?"

"No..." Ning Fan gave Miaoyan Immortal Honorific an odd glance.

If he could really deceive Miaoyan and Liuhes senses and make some small moves, he would at least need to have strength comparable to an Immortal Honorific...

Such strength, he did not possess, but Miaoyan Immortal Honorific preferred to believe that Ning Fan had done something in secret that she couldnt see through...

Ning Fan waved his sleeve and collected the three brocade boxes containing the Emperor Spirit Fruits, just about to also collect the Seven Treasure Wonder Tree, when a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

He saw the small jade basin could no longer accommodate the roots and stems of the Seven Treasure Wonder Tree. The roots stabbed through the bonsai like spikes, growing out wildly.

The originally seven-foot-high Seven Treasure Wonder Tree began to grow madly, absorbing 1,350,000 runes, and within ten breaths, it shot up to 135 zhang high, piercing through the halls roof, growing straight up!

For every hundred-zhang the Seven Treasure Wonder Tree grows, it bestows immense benefits to the Tree Lord.

At this moment, the Seven Treasure Wonder Tree conquered by Ning Fan had already reached a height of 135 zhang, surpassing the hundred-zhang bottleneck, naturally granting Ning Fan a great benefit.

Seven fruits suddenly flew down from the Seven Treasure Wonder Tree, each with different textures: purple gold, white silver, colored glaze, crystal, shell, coral, amber.

The seven fruits transformed into seven streams of light, directly shooting into Ning Fans Dantian, where they dissolved instantly.

In an instant, seven strands of energy surged through Ning Fans body, refining themselves, transforming into Ning Fans mana!

Ning Fans cultivation had already reached the Mid Stage Enlightenment, but influenced by the energy of these seven fruits, his mana surged quietly and headed toward the Late Stage Enlightenment, stopped just short of a breakthrough, but not far off!

In just ten breaths, Ning Fans mana had multiplied several times!

Though he had not broken through to the Late Stage Enlightenment, the day of breakthrough was surely near!

To think that growing a tree could provide such benefits! Ning Fan suddenly felt a burgeoning anticipation towards the Seven Treasure Wonder Tree...

"Its a pity that the fruits born at a hundred-zhang height are of little use to us Immortal Venerables..." Miaoyan Immortal Honorific sighed softly, comforting Ning Fan.

In her eyes, Ning Fan, being a dignified Immortal Venerable, might find the energy contained in the seven fruits lacking.

She naturally didnt know that Ning Fans cultivation was quite low and had gained immensely from this tree...
