Chapter 3041: Haotian Divine Wood

The cave mansion was incredibly spacious, yet no entrances or exits were visible, as if there were none.

"This is where the treasure vault of our Baopu Immortal Sect is located."

Wyatt Barnes heard the timely voice of Liam Davidson, the Sect Leader of Baopu Immortal Sect, whispering in his ear, "Though our Baopu Immortal Sect’s treasure vault doesn’t have many items, every single one is a masterpiece."

"King-grade Immortal Artifacts, the poorest of which are purely defensive ones that have been nurtured by Immortal Sovereigns... Normal King-grade Immortal Artifacts nurtured by Immortal Sovereigns aren’t eligible to enter our Baopu Immortal Sect’s treasure vault."

As he spoke, Liam Davidson’s tone unmistakably carried a hint of pride.

"Is there an Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact here?"

However, Liam Davidson’s pride completely vanished with this question from Wyatt Barnes, even causing Liam Davidson’s mouth to twitch involuntarily.

Their Baopu Immortal Sect did indeed possess an Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact, but only one, and it was in his hands; besides himself, no one else knew about it.

Traditionally, only the Sect Leader of Baopu Immortal Sect was aware of the existence of the Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact, and it was passed down only to the next Sect Leader.

Unless facing great calamity, otherwise the Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact in Baopu Immortal Sect was not easily used.

Because if the Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact were exposed, Baopu Immortal Sect might not be able to protect it.

"No."

Liam Davidson took a deep breath and said to Wyatt Barnes, "Emperor-grade Immortal Artifacts are extremely precious, our Baopu Immortal Sect naturally wouldn’t have them... even if we did, they would have long been handed over to the Mystic Abyss Mansion."

"With our Baopu Immortal Sect’s strength, we aren’t strong enough to protect an Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact."

After speaking, Liam Davidson changed the subject, saying, "However, although there is no Emperor-grade Immortal Artifact in our Baopu Immortal Sect’s treasure vault, there are still various invaluable items... Among these hundred or so treasures before you, aside from the three purely defensive King-grade Immortal Artifacts nurtured by Immortal Sovereigns, none of the other treasures are lesser in value."

In fact, the moment he appeared in this cave mansion, Wyatt Barnes had already glanced over everything in the cave.

Among them were three purely defensive King-grade Immortal Artifacts, with an aura similar to the purely defensive King-grade Immortal Artifact Wyatt was wearing, clearly all nurtured by Immortal Sovereigns.

Aside from these three purely defensive King-grade Immortal Artifacts, the cave mansion contained over a hundred other items.

There were some small exquisite boxes, some dusty Immortal Talismans, and also some array plates, as well as some materials.

Wyatt Barnes could recognize some of the materials; they were very rare, but not useful to him at the moment.

Furthermore, there were nearly ten items that Wyatt Barnes couldn’t identify at all.

Among these nearly ten items, the one that attracted Wyatt Barnes’ attention the most was not some dazzling treasure, but an ordinary-looking dried tree branch.

"Could this be some herb I don’t recognize?"

Wyatt Barnes speculated privately.

"Kid, you have good luck."

Just then, the tender voice of the Divine Soil sounded in Wyatt Barnes’ body, "I never expected to find the Haotian Divine Wood in its first form here."

Haotian Divine Wood?!

Upon hearing the Divine Soil’s words, Wyatt Barnes’ pupils abruptly shrank, his heart involuntarily trembling, "One of the Elemental Spirits, the Haotian Divine Wood?"

The Haotian Divine Wood, one of the Elemental Spirits, equally renowned as the Taixuan Divine Gold, Chaos Divine Fire, Divine Soil, and Pure World Divine Water.

"Where is the Haotian Divine Wood?"

Wyatt Barnes asked the Divine Soil.

"Over there..."

Under the guidance of Divine Soil, Wyatt Barnes’ gaze again fell on that ordinary-looking dried tree branch.

"Is this the Haotian Divine Wood?"

Wyatt Barnes was completely stupefied, never expecting that the ordinary-looking dried tree branch he had dismissed earlier was actually the Haotian Divine Wood, one of the Elemental Spirits.

"However, if it is just the first form of the Haotian Divine Wood, it’s not strange... after all, I’ve seen the first form of the Taixuan Divine Gold three times before, all of which were very unassuming, with some even resembling broken stones."

Recalling his past encounters with the first form of the Taixuan Divine Gold multiple times, Wyatt Barnes suddenly felt relieved.

"Sect Leader, is this some material? Herb for refining Immortal Pills?"

Wyatt Barnes pointed at the first form of the Haotian Divine Wood while looking back at Liam Davidson, asking.

"No."

Liam Davidson denied while walking forward, raising his hand, and directly holding the dried tree branch — the first form of the Haotian Divine Wood, "This tree branch was accidentally acquired by the third generation Sect Leader of our Baopu Immortal Sect; it’s a very peculiar relic, suspected to contain the ’Lingering Profundity’ from the Wood Law."

Liam Davidson infused the Haotian Divine Wood held in his hand with bursts of Immortal Origin Force.

In the next moment, Wyatt Barnes saw, accompanied by the sound of ’rustling,’ the dry tree branch-like Haotian Divine Wood unexpectedly extended thin, dry branches, instantly wrapping around the hand Liam Davidson held it with.

At this moment, it seemed like Liam Davidson’s hand had merged with it, resembling roots of an old tree.

"When Immortal Origin Force is withdrawn, this branch will return to its original form."

As Liam Davidson withdrew the Immortal Origin Force, the dry branches instantly returned to their original form, as if they had never changed, looking as ordinary as a dry branch that had fallen from a common tree.

"However, although this branch seemingly contains the entangling mystery of the Wood Law, over tens of thousands of years, none of the disciples of Mystic Abyss Mansion have been able to comprehend the entangling mystery from it, nor has anyone been able to use it to enhance their understanding of the entangling mystery."

Liam Davidson continued.

"When I mention enhancing one’s comprehension of the entangling mystery, I mean that someone who has reached the ’Initiated’ stage in comprehending the entangling mystery of the Wood Law can’t use it to enhance their understanding to the ’Minor Achievement’ stage."

Fearing Wyatt Barnes might not understand the meaning of enhancing the mystery of Law Rule, Liam Davidson explained: "King Grade Immortal Method, Divine Ability, can only help one comprehend a certain Law’s certain mystery to the ’Initiated’ stage..."

"To enhance that Law mystery to ’Minor Achievement,’ one must obtain an Emperor Grade Immortal Method or Divine Ability that contains that mystery. To further enhance it to ’Major Achievement,’ one needs the corresponding Emperor Grade Immortal Method or Divine Ability."

Liam Davidson spoke with great patience.

"Alright."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

"Yet, currently, we only know this branch can’t help someone who has grasped the entangling mystery to the Initiated stage enhance it to the Minor Achievement stage... Perhaps it might allow someone who has reached the Minor Achievement stage to enhance it to the Major Achievement stage."

As Liam Davidson spoke, he seemed to be actively trying to sell the dry branch to Wyatt Barnes.

"Sect Leader, do you... believe what you say?"

Wyatt Barnes looked deeply at Liam Davidson and asked.

Realizing Wyatt Barnes’s meaningful gaze, Liam Davidson smiled awkwardly.

He knew well that the dry branch in his hand was unlikely to help someone who has reached the Minor Achievement stage in the entangling mystery enhance it to the Major Achievement stage.

If the dry branch could achieve that, it would easily help someone at the Initiated stage enhance it to the Minor Achievement stage!

"I was just casually mentioning... This thing might not have much practical use, but it can be added to a collection. If you want a functional treasure, you should choose something else."

After his awkward smile, Liam Davidson said remedially.

At the same time, he placed the dry branch back in its original position.

Just when Liam Davidson thought Wyatt Barnes wouldn’t be interested in the dry branch, he was stunned to find:

Wyatt Barnes raised his hand, grabbing the dry branch.

"Sect Leader is right; although it’s not very useful, it can still be added to a collection... Fortunately, I enjoy collecting peculiar things. This will be my first chosen treasure in the vault."

While speaking, Wyatt Barnes stored the dry branch into his Storage Ring.

"Wyatt Barnes, you..."

Only after Wyatt Barnes stored the dry branch into the Storage Ring did Liam Davidson react, frowning slightly, "Have you thought it through?"

In his view, they had studied the item within Mystic Abyss Mansion for thousands of years without any discernible outcome, and Wyatt Barnes was unlikely to discover anything with it either.

But to win hearts, he still intentionally reminded Wyatt Barnes, "That branch looks unusual, but it indeed has no practical use."

"Rest assured, Sect Leader, I’ve thought it through... There’s nothing else catching my eye for now, so I’ll choose it first."

Wyatt Barnes said as he moved to examine other treasures in the vault of Mystic Abyss Mansion, his indifferent expression made Liam Davidson unexpectedly feel that he was somewhat capricious.

"Is there any other first form of the Five Elemental Spirits besides the Divine Soil here? Like the first form of ’Cleanse World Divine Water.’ I see two transparent little bottles with some liquid, could they be Cleanse World Divine Water?"

Wyatt Barnes’s gaze scanned over the two transparent little bottles containing liquid, timely asking the Divine Soil.

"Kid, do you really think Five Elemental Spirits are as common as cabbages?!"

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, the baby-like voice of the Divine Soil sounded, speaking gruffly.

His words indirectly informed Wyatt Barnes that the two bottles did not contain Cleanse World Divine Water from the Five Elemental Spirits but rather some other liquid.

"Sect Leader, what’s the liquid in these two bottles?"

Wyatt Barnes pointed to the two bottles and asked Liam Davidson.

Although he knew they did not contain Cleanse World Divine Water, he was still curious about the liquid inside, as anything that could be stored in the vault of Mystic Abyss Mansion surely wasn’t ordinary.
