Chapter 18: The Pillar of Heaven and the Gathering

  "Yang big brother, you've finally come out of seclusion, I'm so bored to death!" Yun Tian hurriedly went forward to complain as soon as he saw Yang Le coming out of seclusion: "A whole 80,000 years ah, I don't know how many times I've gone into seclusion, but every time I come out I never get to see you."

  Yang Le smiled and asked: "Is your Jiulong Zhong repaired?"

  Yun Tian summoned the Xiantian Lingbao Jiulong Zhong and said, "Of course, I've already repaired it, and I've also refined some of it. Even if the master himself comes out, I can withstand one or two moves and escape without a problem."

  "Alright, now I'll take you to see the World Tree."

  A gust of wind blew by, and suddenly two young people appeared on the vast grassland. It was Yang Le who used the Shicheng Tianya Divine Technique to bring Yun Tian continuously rushing for over a dozen days, crossing billions of miles, and finally arrived at the Forbidden Law Grassland, where the World Tree was located.

  In the forbidden law prairie, I saw from afar the world tree that transformed the world. The sturdy trunk, even if it was separated by billions of miles, could be seen clearly, like a giant pillar supporting the sky, with white clouds surrounding the trunk, and no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't see the branches of the world tree, all blocked by the wind and thunder of the heavenly canopy above, although it's a bit regrettable, but it feels even more shocking!

  The Forbidden Plains of Heaven and Earth is a forbidden area where all techniques cannot be used. Therefore, flight is not possible on the Forbidden Plains, even if one uses the Law of Heavenly Way, it will weaken by three to seven layers.

  However, Yang Le happened to have a divine ability that allowed him to fly in the air. In order not to miss the stunning view of the World Tree, Yang Le decided not to use the Cun Tian Ya anymore. Before Yun Tian could react, he grabbed Yun Tian and flew towards the location of the World Tree.

  After a while, Yang Le became somewhat depressed. In this vast and empty grassland, even if his speed was suppressed by 50%, it should still be the flight speed of an ordinary divine master or demon master, but looking at the distant world tree trunk that pierced the sky, he felt as if he hadn't taken a single step closer. This also made Yang Le suddenly realize that his recent rapid cultivation and pride in being unparalleled under the heavens was actually quite laughable. In front of the world tree, Yang Le truly felt like an ant, and even if he transformed into a 100 million zhang tall Celestial Master, he would still be just a large ant.

  What people fear most is having a narrow field of vision, like sitting in a well and looking at the sky. Yang Le's understanding was mostly based on the legacy of the Wu tribe, and he had only seen some scenes of the struggle for the throne, which was the limit of his vision. Even if he tried hard to imagine how saints could do anything, destroy heaven and earth with one hand, it was useless, imagination is just imagination, and it can never broaden one's horizons.

  Now, Yang Le saw it, he saw the goal of his struggle, that World Tree was the peak he wanted to climb and conquer. Even if it's just a slight shake, he didn't want to be an insignificant ant that could be ignored.

  Two black dots sped across the forbidden grassland, making no sound at all. After nine days of flying at full speed, they finally approached the roots of the World Tree. Yun Tian had been in a state of shock since seeing the World Tree and couldn't stop praising it nonstop. Yang Le was also getting tired of listening to him and really wanted to just fall down already.

  As they drew closer, Yang Le and Yun Tian both noticed that under the World Tree, there were a few tiny human figures descending onto the ground. It was only then that Yang Le discovered these people were roughly divided into two groups. One group consisted of three men and two women: two young women, one with green hair and clothes, exuding an aura of nature, and another with silver hair and white clothes, radiating a noble and untouchable quality, both having slender yet curvaceous figures, elegant and refined. However, unfortunately, they were both wearing veils, giving off an aloof demeanor. Next to them stood three men who seemed to be the Guardians of the Flower, each with distinct appearances: one was a red-haired youth in golden attire, whose gaze seemed domineeringly handsome at first glance; another was a blue-haired youth in purple attire, soft and beautiful; and the last was a yellow-haired youth in yellow attire, sturdy and robust.

  On the other side, there were four people: a pale-haired, grey-clothed, handsome young man with a cold and beautiful face; a red-haired, red-clad, evil-looking young man with an aura of bloodthirstiness; a silver-haired, three-eyed, stern-looking young man. The last one was a purple-haired, white-clad, stunningly beautiful woman, who exuded an enchanting charm all over her body, and the young men present couldn't help but glance at her from time to time.

  At this time, Yang Le was observing them, and everyone present secretly gasped in surprise, initially thinking that a divine master or demon master had arrived. However, after carefully sensing the opponent's strength, they did not reach the level of a divine master or demon master, but only possessed an ancient god aura, which was not much different from theirs. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the other party must have some special divine powers. As one of the twelve great sacred families of the Primordial Chaos, they had their own confidence and capital.

  "Yun Tian, come here!" A green-haired and green-clothed masked woman called out to Yang Le. A clear and crisp voice like a nightingale's song suddenly rang out, causing all the young people present to feel amazed.

  Yang Le, who had come back to his senses, only then discovered that Yun Tian was hiding behind him, apparently avoiding this woman.

  Yun Tian said in a low voice, "Yang brother, my sister has found me, I'm going now. When you have time, be sure to come find me, just go to the Eastern God Tribe's gathering place - Endless Floating Island, and you can find the Wooden Clan's floating island."

  Then Yun Tian returned to the back of the green-haired woman, and afterwards Yang Le heard some vague reprimands such as "don't trust outsiders". Yang Le couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, do I look very unreliable?

  Yang Le speculated that these people present might be from the Twelve Great Sacred Clans, but he didn't know what they were gathering for.

  Only the red-haired, golden-robed young man from the Eastern Divine Clan stepped forward and provocatively said to the red-haired, red-robed evil youth, "Blood Demon, since there have been reports of anomalies related to the Abyssal Void, shouldn't we also test each other?"

  "Shun Tian, stop this. We have urgent matters to attend to and need to report back. Besides, fighting under the World Tree is disrespecting it, can you take responsibility for destroying this sacred place?" The silver-haired woman in white clothes with a veil over her face said.

  "Alright, Xinye was right, let's focus on the main issue. Blood Demon, we'll settle our score next time." Shuntian returned to the group with a huff.

  The Blood Demon hummed lightly and stopped speaking, it was unclear whether he was looking down on him or simply didn't care.

  At this time, the blue-haired and purple-robed young man from the Eastern Divine Clan stepped forward and said to Yang Le: "Haven't asked for your brother's great name yet? We are from the twelve major clans of the East and West. This is Shun Tian of the Sun Clan, Xiang Ya of the Moon Clan, Shui Bi of the Wood Clan, Kun Wang of the Earth Clan, I am Ge Lan of the Water Clan, and opposite us is Xue Mo of the Blood Demon Clan from the West, Han Yu of the Bone Clan, Huan Ting of the Dream Demon Clan, and Qing Zhu of the Charm Demon Clan.

  Every time Ge Lan introduced herself to him, he would just nod slightly, which was considered a greeting.

  Yang Le didn't mind, made a fist and said: "I'm Yang Le, from a humble family background." The others also didn't want to talk more.

  Afterwards, these people all left, leaving only Yang Le here.

  Of course, Yang Le also had another purpose, which was to inspect this World Tree.

  On the other side, the Eastern Divine Clan flew into the air after leaving the Forbidden Prairie. Shui Bi pulled Yun Tian and fell behind, asking: "What's going on with that Yang Le? You'd better confess honestly, don't be deceived by bad people without knowing it. Also, Mother knows you've run away and is worried to death, so she sent me here to find you."

  Yun Tian felt a little embarrassed when he heard it, and then he talked endlessly about the happy and exciting days of getting to know and being with Yang Le.

  "What? He actually gave the Innate Spiritual Treasure to you!" Shui Bi couldn't hide her surprise, and at the same time, she felt curious about Yang Le's strangeness.

  "Oh, and there's the purple grape, this should be the fruit of the innate spiritual root. It seems that after going back and forth, I'll have to report to Grandfather." Shui Bi said while holding a purple grape and rubbing it.
