Chapter 825: Chapter 841: Now That’s Pretty Awesome! (Second Update)
The voices from the back of the valley were chaotic, suggesting the presence of many people.
Han Yan’er and the others obviously heard the screams coming from that direction, too. Seeing Yang Zhen rush over, they exchanged puzzled looks, then hurriedly followed right behind him.
Sao Ji glanced back at the deep abyss, a hint of confusion crossing his face. He casually made his way toward the direction where Yang Zhen had dashed off to.
Although Sao Ji walked slowly, he easily kept up with Yang Zhen, leaving the crowd dumbfounded and shocked at his speed.
Even Yang Zhen was taken aback, staring with wide eyes at Sao Ji beside him. Could this bastard’s movement technique really be the legendary “shrinking ground into inches”?
“There’s something!”
Sao Ji glanced at Yang Zhen, his face taking on a serious expression.
Yang Zhen didn’t need the reminder from Sao Ji; he felt an uncannily strange aura. Different from the wild aura, it was more like the one emanating from an array, yet not quite the same. After focusing for a moment, it seemed more appropriate to call it the aura of the Heaven and Earth Rune Patterns than that of an array.
Why would there be Heaven and Earth inscriptions in this place?
When Yang Zhen and the others looked beyond the valley, they all exclaimed in amazement at the sight on the other side.
A massive bronze tree stood before them, as tall as a small mountain.
Everyone gathered around the bronze tree, their faces pale and their eyes horror-struck as they gazed upon the endless white bones festooning the tree.
“What… What is this?”

The bronze tree possessed a strange ability, seemingly able to absorb the flesh and blood of living beings—utterly eerie.
However, the bronze tree before them was much larger than any Yang Zhen had seen before, possibly over ten times larger. It reached the sky, blotted out the sun, and was as stunning as a colossal heavenly column.
What shocked Yang Zhen was the countless bones hanging from this tree—human and those of other races alike. It looked exceptionally eerie, and the tree’s complex, indecipherable rune patterns emitted a dim red glow, adding to the bizarre scene.
By the time Yang Zhen and the others arrived, many were already staring blankly at the bronze tree, slowly walking toward it, and four or five Practitioners at the Divine Transformation Stage were already hung upon it.
Then, another Practitioner at the Divine Transformation Stage suddenly leaped, drawing a nearly perfect arc in the air before impaling himself on the tree with a thud.
The abrupt change caught Yang Zhen completely off guard, and even Han Yan’er vanish from his side. He felt as if he had entered an endless desert, seeing nothing no matter where he looked.
Yang Zhen, completely baffled, looked all around him. There was no hint of illusions; it all seemed very real.
“Damn, this is getting interesting. What the hell is this place?”
Yang Zhen had never feared illusions; such things, even if they appeared real and could cause harm, posed no threat as long as one kept a clear mind.
Since there was no way out and no clues to understand the place, Yang Zhen simply sat down cross-legged on the spot and began refining the trace of aura derived from the Yin and Yang energies.
Although he did not know exactly where he was, Yang Zhen had a general understanding in his heart that if he could successfully refine that streak of aura, it would be of great help to him.
Just as Yang Zhen was about to enter a state of sudden enlightenment, an extraordinarily terrifying aura came from not far away.
Yang Zhen’s expression turned stern, and he squinted in the direction the aura was coming from.
Someone was there!
In the chaos, a team of practitioners clad in radiant golden light approached in a coordinated fashion, each of their auras giving Yang Zhen a sense of astonishment.
Circulation Phase peak!
All of these people were existences at the peak of the Circulation Phase.
Moreover, the clothes these people wore, which Yang Zhen had never seen before, were like armors, glittering with gold, shining brightly and carrying an awe-inspiring presence. Among the flowing lights of the refined patterns, they were clearly all holy treasures!
A group of Circulation Phase experts in holy treasures?
What kind of power could possess such a terrifying foundation?
Nowadays, looking across the entire cultivation world, those at the Circulation Phase were extremely powerful beings, and even in such fearsome forces as the Jade Pool Holy Land and the Heavenly Pivot Holy Land, experts of the Circulation Phase were rare.
So many powerful practitioners, and here there appeared a team of them?
Yang Zhen took a quick glance and saw there were fifty or sixty people, all holding a kind of golden spear-like weapon, looking to be equipped uniformly, as if they were standard issue.
An anxious voice sounded, and Yang Zhen shook all over, opening his eyes in astonishment to see the worried look on Han Yan’er’s face.
The ancient tree!
The bronze ancient tree!
A strange expression crossed Yang Zhen’s face, and he looked towards that eerily unusual bronze ancient tree.
