Chapter 412: Giant tree of light (3)

Name:Cultivation Pet Shop Author:
Lin Fan brought out several more rat puppets after deciding to head to the tree in the middle.

Last time they had created too large of a horde which had been too risky, so this time Lin Fan decided to bring out some more puppets to ensure that the hordes wouldn't get too big and unmanageable.

After all, if these puppets were taken out again and if the horde was too big, it would be troublesome to fight both the horde and the ghost commander at the same time since these ghosts were just too strong individually. As a mass, they created a powerful death ball that even Lin Fan found hard to fight.

At the same time, Lin Fan also left the bunny that he summoned out just in case it was needed for anything.

The bunny was kept near Lin Fan, inside the open space that they created with the puppets. That way, it could react in any direction if there was a need for it to go out to distract anything.

Lin Fan wasn't certain how many ghost commanders there were, but after walking around a bit and searching for the best way in, Lin Fan decided to take the same path as before.

This was a bit of luck on his part because he had chosen to take this path right after the two ghost commanders who had come to look for the corpse of the ghost commander that Lin Fan took out decided to leave. That meant that there was a gap in the defenses that Lin Fan took advantage of and was able to easily make it to the tree of light.

When he arrived, he made sure to clear out a space around him near the base of the tree of light before walking over to examine it.

When he and Mo Ze Chen came over, Mo Ze Chen did the same thing as before, trying to climb the tree to see what was special about it. However, this time the tree was much bigger and it was a straight climb up for Mo Ze Chen if he decided to climb it.

Even if he was strong, he wasn't able to do that with his body since he was someone who didn't train his body when cultivating. He would be able to climb up to a certain point, but then he wouldn't have the energy to climb up the rest of the way.

Since that was the case, Mo Ze Chen chose to forcefully climb up the tree.

He took out a pair of climbing axes and moved right to the trunk of this tree of light, bringing them back before swinging it at the trunk to climb up. However, the moment the climbing axes made contact with the trunk of the tree, the blades of the axes immediately shattered to pieces.

Mo Ze Chen looked at the climbing axes in his hands in shock before turning to look back at the trunk of the tree in disbelief.

That was because the climbing axes in his hand had been a pair of special artifacts that he had been using for the longest time. They were one of the first artifacts that he had ever found and they had never let him down.

These climbing axes were imbued with piercing laws, which meant that they were much better at digging into surfaces compared to normal climbing axes. They had never failed him before, but today they had been shattered the moment they tried to pierce the tree.

Just what was this tree?

While Mo Ze Chen's heart broke over another one of his artifacts breaking, Lin Fan had been at the trunk of the tree looking it over.

This was the tree that everything in this city had been guarding, so it must be something special.

However, when Lin Fan tried to send his spiritual sense into it, he found that he was unable to do so at all. It was like this tree was made of impenetrable steel and his spiritual sense was like an egg. The moment that his spiritual sense hit the tree, it immediately scattered and dealt backlash to him.

Of course, Lin Fan had only used a small bit of his spiritual sense as a probe, so the backlash he felt wasn't that strong, but he still couldn't help wondering just what this tree was made of.

Lin Fan then combined his spiritual sense with Brainy and tried to break through again, but they found that they still weren't able to break through. Once again, the spiritual sense scattered and they suffered backlash together, but Brainy's spiritual sense was much stronger, so it was able to easily deal with this backlash.

Lin Fan gave up the idea of using his spiritual sense to check the tree and put his hand on it, using his absorbing power to see if he could suck out a wisp of the law. However, once again, it was the same result as the spiritual sense as the trunk of the tree kept the law safe inside the tree and scattered Lin Fan's power, but there was something that was different this time.

The absorption power was able to draw the laws that were hidden deep inside the tree up to the surface, so Lin Fan was able to sense what kind of law it was.

It was without a doubt light law, but the power that was contained within it was something that Lin Fan couldn't begin to fathom. It was at a level that was far beyond anything that Lin Fan had come in contact with before, it was even at a level that was beyond Qing Ao who was the strongest person that he had met in this upper realm.

For this tree of light to have such power, it must be a very special existence that came from a very special expert.

Lin Fan even began doubting whether this was something that came from someone that was on the same level as Momonga and Angela. Perhaps this was something that was left behind by a Ruler, one of the true experts of this universe.

If that was the case, just what would be hidden inside of it?

But before he could even start thinking about that, what Lin Fan had to do first was find a way to get into the tree.

There was no way that they would be able to break through since Lin Fan had already seen how hard it was, being demonstrated by both Mo Ze Chen's climbing axes and how it had scattered Lin Fan's spiritual sense.

As Lin Fan was considering it, he suddenly noticed something on the tree out of the corner of his eyes.

He didn't think much of it at first, but then he realized that something was wrong. When Lin Fan turned to look carefully at it, he realized that just like before, this was a message that was written in Chinese.

It was a very simple message, there were just the words "this way" along with an arrow pointing to the right underneath it.

Lin Fan immediately called Mo Ze Chen over and asked, "Can you see this?" As he asked this, he pointed at the message in Chinese.

Mo Ze Chen looked in the direction that Lin Fan was pointing in and knitted his brows again as he said, "Brother Lin, what are you talking about? There's nothing there."

It was the same phenomenon as before, this was another message that only Lin Fan could see and it was a message that was written in Chinese.

Mo Ze Chen went closer to where Lin Fan was pointing and carefully looked at the trunk of the tree, but he still couldn't see anything. However, he no longer doubted Lin Fan like before because after Lin Fan had asked this question last time, he had suddenly pushed something on the podium and the door had opened.

It was clear that there must be some secret message that only Lin Fan could see, but why was Lin Fan the only one that could see it?

This lit the spark of curiosity inside of Mo Ze Chen and he wanted to continue examining this, but Lin Fan didn't give him the time.

Last time the message in Chinese had helped him discover the true face of these ruins, so perhaps this time that message would help him too. Perhaps, it would also lead Lin Fan to the one that had written this message.

For it to be written in Chinese, it must mean that there was someone who knew about his previous world, or perhaps it might even be his transmigration senior…

Either way, Lin Fan just wanted to find someone to talk about earth to.

So Lin Fan dragged Mo Ze Chen along to the right.



While Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen were looking for a way into the giant tree of light, there was some movement that came from the entrance to this place.

After the sound of a few footsteps, there was a group of people that had suddenly come out of the passage down into this city.

This group consisted of five humans, three males and two females, but two of the males had chains around their necks which the last male was holding the end to and following behind the three others.

The two girls looked around the city before saying, "Wow, you'd never think that there would be such a place down here."

The male who was holding the chains also looked around before saying with a greedy smile, "Since there's such a place down here, there must also be treasures for us to take."
