Chapter 24: The Ancient Qi Chuang Wood

After a massive slaughter, Qi Yuan dug a hole and buried himself again.
"In about ten more days, I should reach level 90.

I wonder what big skill will awaken then."

Qi Yuan was very much looking forward to it.

"Once I reach level 90, the Clothing Forbidden area will soon be cleared as well.

If I clear the map of this world, will I awaken new special abilities?"

Qi Yuan's mind wandered.

After entering the game jade slip, it wasn't long before his eyes mutated, allowing him to see hidden information.

If he cleared the game, would he undergo other mutations?

"Will I gain the ability to hear whispers from the indescribable, like a clairaudient?"

"Or maybe, I'll grow a dog's nose?"

Qi Yuan thought whimsically.

Lying in the pit, he still couldn't see the moon.

"Qi Yuan, thank you. Today, Aunt Qin defeated the Grandmaster of Nan Feng Nation!

When Aunt Qin displayed her emperor-level power, Sima Ting's gloomy expression was really something!"

Jin Li's message came through.

It seemed she was genuinely happy, even using interjections in her message.

"Great, you've completed quite a few tasks as well. Finish them quickly, and we can meet in person.

By the way, should we decide on a place to meet?" Qi Yuan said whatever came to mind.

On the other end, there was a long silence, and it took a while for a response.

"Under the Ancient Qi Chuang Wood, what do you think?" Jin Li asked.

The Ancient Qi Chuang Wood is the most mythically renowned tree on the Moon-Watching Continent.

The ancient tree reaches the sky, its height unknown, and legend has it that standing on top of it, one can grasp the stars.

It is said that this tree was planted by a deity.

Before the deity went to battle the Sky Demon, he planted an Ancient Qi Chuang Wood in his yard.

The deity told his wife that he would return when the tree grew to three zhang high.

The deity's wife waited under the Ancient Qi Chuang Wood, longing for him, for countless years.

The tree, once as tall as a person, finally grew to three zhang high.

Yet, she never saw her beloved return.

Later, it grew to thirty zhang, then three hundred zhang, even thirty thousand zhang and higher.

The deity's wife never saw her husband return victorious.

The Ancient Qi Chuang Wood became the most legendary tree on the Moon-Watching Continent.

"The Ancient Qi Chuang Wood?" Qi Yuan was slightly stunned. He knew about this tree because there was one on the peak of Seven-Colored Peak.

However, where could he find such a tree?

"Where is the Ancient Qi Chuang Wood?"

Jin Li was taken aback. She walked out of her house and looked into the distance.

The silhouette of a gigantic tree came into her view.

As long as one is on the Moon-Watching Continent, no matter where they are, they can see the Ancient Qi Chuang Wood when looking up into the distance.

The ancient tree reaches the sky, with stars dotting its leaves, twinkling.

"Look up and gaze southwest. The giant tree you see is the Ancient Qi Chuang Wood."

Qi Yuan was slightly stunned.

He climbed out of the pit and looked southwest.

In the southwest direction, he saw a gigantic ancient tree reaching the sky, with stars seemingly within reach at its top.

"Is this the Ancient Qi Chuang Wood you're talking about? It's really big. If it grows a bit taller, it feels like it could touch the stars in the sky."

"By then, I'll make some barbecue, you bring some fine wine, and we'll camp under the Ancient Qi Chuang Wood. It'll be quite an experience." Qi Yuan crawled back into the pit.

"Sure!" Jin Li's expression was complex.

Today, Aunt Qin had a great victory.

She wanted to seize the opportunity to eliminate Sima Ting's followers.

Of course, she knew she hadn't won yet.

There were still many dangers all around.

...

Shen Guang Sect.

Qi Yuan was strolling with a knife, to be precise, a kitchen knife.

At this time, a disciple of the Myriad Laws Peak greeted Qi Yuan, "Senior Brother, the Foundation Establishment Conference is tomorrow, and you're still walking your pet?"

Qi Yuan didn't stop walking, "My pet is about to gain intelligence, so I can't be careless. I need to take it out for a walk."

Hearing Qi Yuan's reply, the person smiled, "Senior Brother is truly remarkable."

Qi Yuan continued walking his knife, very seriously.

Behind him, several disciples of Shen Guang Sect were bowing their heads, discussing something.

"This Seven-Colored Peak guy is really calm. Tomorrow is the Foundation Establishment Conference, and he's still in the mood to walk his pet, and it's a kitchen knife!"

"The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is. If you have no leisure, why aren't you representing Shen Guang Sect in the competition?"

"Ahem, it's because my cultivation isn't good enough."

"It's said that the prize for winning this Foundation Establishment Conference is a first-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual item, the Yellow Flower Fruit!"

"A first-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual item! Whoever wins it will surely be able to form a Nascent Soul. In the future, they'll be a big shot in Da Shang Nation, and probably in other countries as well!"

"A first-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual item is that strong. What about the Earth Vein Foundation Establishment or the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment? What kind of grandeur must they have?"

"Don't even think about it. People like that are not ones we'll ever encounter."

Everyone sighed, feeling the vastness of the universe and their own insignificance.

At this moment, a male disciple gritted his teeth and said, "I heard Chu Tianxiong of the Black Mountain Sect will also come here!"

"He dares to come!"

"How dare he! Recently, an elder from the Black Mountain Sect injured Zheng Jianghe, and they still dare to come here!"

"Our female disciples must be careful, or else... or else..." Some female disciples' faces turned pale, evidently very afraid of Chu Tianxiong.

"Hmph, this is Shen Guang Sect, one of the three major sects of Da Shang. How can we let Black Mountain Sect act recklessly!" A disciple said forcefully.

Towards the Black Mountain Sect, Shen Guang Sect disciples were united in their anger but also felt helpless.

After all, the Black Chicken Old Demon was like a heavy mountain pressing down on the three major sects.

Qi Yuan naturally didn't hear what these people were saying.

He walked his knife and slowly returned to Seven-Colored Peak.

"Oh dear, why haven't you awakened intelligence yet."

Qi Yuan wanted to pat the knife but feared cutting his hand.

The biggest fear was making the knife stupid. What if it became a fool after gaining intelligence?

"But it should be within these two days, maybe even tonight." Qi Yuan thought.

He returned to the yard and tied the knife to a stake.

"Tonight, I need to quickly finish the game and go to bed early. Tomorrow I have to attend that stupid Foundation Establishment Conference. Annoying!"

Qi Yuan felt very socially anxious.

He still preferred interacting with the speechless monsters in the game, even doing voice-overs for them.

At tomorrow's Foundation Establishment Conference, he would be the face of Shen Guang Sect, welcoming people from other sects and interacting with them. Just thinking about it was annoying.

"If only my body were a star in the vast universe, just hanging in the sky, not having to say anything."

Thinking this, Qi Yuan entered the game.

What he didn't know was that, at night, the kitchen knife suddenly sprang up, cutting the rope that tied it.

It searched anxiously around the hut for a while and found some grass to eat.

Apparently starving, it set its sights on a nearby hut.

By the moonlight, it sneaked out.

Then, it greedily eyed the hut. If it had eyes, they would be glowing, but finally, it hesitated and started... rummaging through the trash heap.

About half an hour later, it quietly returned and tied itself back up with the rope.
