Chapter 394: Chapter 318: The Long River of Time Appears_2

Speaking of which, Leida walked up to a Life Divine Tree, placed his hand on the trunk, and attempted to absorb the Life Essence Qi within.

Li Cheng also chose one and pretentiously began circulating his cultivation technique to absorb.

The life force contained in these Life Divine Trees was astonishing; they could be used as a substitute for level five or six Healing Pills. Of course, as they were not Divine Pills, one had to slowly absorb from the trunk, a somewhat strenuous and thankless task.

Unless one had a special method to extract the Life Essence Qi from the Divine Tree in advance, one would directly absorb the Life Essence Qi when needed, in which case the effect would naturally be comparable to that of level five or six Divine Pills.

After absorbing for several days, Leida was somewhat helpless, "It's too difficult. Despite the profound Life Essence Qi contained in these Life Divine Trees from tens of billions of years of growth, it's one with the trees and nearly impossible to absorb."

"It's also because there are too many Life Divine Trees growing here. If there were only one or two, they probably would have grown into towering trees and birthed a Heart of Divine Tree."

"If one could obtain a Heart of Divine Tree, there would be no injuries that couldn't be healed."

Leida mumbled to himself, then turned to look at Li Cheng who was more than ten meters away.

Li Cheng had just been putting on an act, and after several days, he simply leaned back against a Life Divine Tree and sat down, but his gaze occasionally swept the sky, waiting for his mentor to appear.

Hearing this, Li Cheng smiled, "Keep going! The time hasn't come yet."

Leida also smiled, "I'm just saying. After waiting for two hundred million years, naturally, I don't mind waiting longer. I'll have a wander in the forest."

All the Life Divine Trees were about the height of a man, so there wasn't much to wander through. Leida was clearly looking for a way to get underground.

Li Cheng didn't point it out, leaving him to his search.

After just four hours, Leida returned empty-handed and said with a dry laugh, "Brother Yun, I've just thought of a method!"

"Oh?" Li Cheng looked at Leida.

Leida smiled mysteriously, unfolded a corner of the Divine World, grabbed a Life Divine Tree, along with the nearby soil, and brought it into his Divine World.

"I don't know if it will work, but I'll try refining the Life Essence Qi within the Divine World."

Through the corner of the Divine World, Li Cheng could clearly see the situation inside and couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.

However, the surprise only flashed briefly, and Leida didn't notice as he began his attempt.

Li Cheng withdrew his gaze and quickly pondered, what exactly was going on?

The Divine World of Leida was the very same continent he had seen within the Shadow of Time.

Could it be that not long after, Leida would take his mentor into his Divine World?

But this Divine World eventually shattered, suggesting that Leida might have perished as a result!

Deep in thought, Li Cheng suddenly wondered, could it be that after his mentor appeared, Leida discovered him and took him into his Divine World, leading to a conflict between them that resulted in Li Cheng killing him?

Shaking his head, Li Cheng dismissed the thought and turned to look at Leida.

Leida was also looking back, beaming with joy, "It works! Using the Divine World to refine, the speed is more than a hundred times faster. If I gather more Life Divine Trees, my issue could be resolved within ten thousand years!"

"Then congratulations are in order!" Li Cheng said with a smile.

Leida looked at Li Cheng skeptically, "Won't you try?"

Li Cheng shook his head, "I haven't constructed my own Divine World, so this method isn't usable for me."

Leida was taken aback, then contemplated, "It's no matter. Once I eliminate the death Qi, I will be able to easily step into the Divine King Realm. Then, refining Life Essence Qi will be even quicker. I will extract some for Brother Yun to aid in your recovery."

"There's no need to trouble yourself, Brother Leida, I'll try a different method," Li Cheng said, and then took out the Nine Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod.

"Is this... a Pill Tripod? Its rank seems extremely high," Leida said, puzzled.

As Li Cheng had never used the Nine Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod, there was no need to worry about exposing his identity. He pulled out several Life Divine Trees and tossed them into it, saying with a smile, "I'll give it a try as well."

Leida didn't ask further and moved more than ten trees into his own Divine World to continue extracting Life Essence Qi.

Li Cheng casually activated the Nine Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod, the Rule of Fire surged into the tripod, and within the time it took to brew a pot of tea, a large amount of Life Essence Qi gushed out from the Life Divine Trees.

"Eh?"

Li Cheng was somewhat astonished, was it really that easy?

These Life Divine Trees, which had been growing for billions of years, were as hard as superior divine artifacts. It should have been extremely difficult to extract the Life Essence Qi contained within them, yet within this tripod, it was easily extracted.

About one-tenth to one-fifth of the several Life Divine Trees had been extracted. Li Cheng didn't continue, but rather took them out and replanted them.

Upon seeing this, Leida knew that Li Cheng must have failed and was about to comfort him when he saw Li Cheng collect a few more trees.

In the puzzled gaze of Leida, each time Li Cheng only took five trees, waited a moment, replanted them, and then collected more, repeating the process.

Leida couldn't help but look at the Life Divine Trees that Li Cheng had replanted, but they appeared completely normal.

The Life Divine Trees contained immense Life Essence Qi; with only a loss of one-tenth to one-fifth in Li Cheng's hands, it was indeed difficult to notice any abnormalities.

But Leida wasn't a fool, and he knew Li Cheng wasn't a fool either and wouldn't do this without reason. So, he vaguely guessed that Li Cheng must have extracted some Life Essence Qi.

It was just unclear how much had actually been extracted.

Perhaps not much for each tree, but when all the Life Divine Trees were added together, even if only a little was extracted from each, the total amount would certainly be astonishing!

Possibly, Li Cheng's method of recovery would be quicker!

Gradually, Li Cheng had already walked far away.

Unable to resist any longer, Leida went to the Life Divine Trees that Li Cheng had replanted and began to inspect them closely.

After a while, Leida's eyes widened, "I use the Divine World to refine, and it would take about a hundred years to extract one-tenth to one-fifth of the Life Essence Qi from one tree, and at most, I can extract it from twenty trees at a time."

"But Brother Yun... it turns out he can extract from six whole trees in half an hour, this... could it be because of that tripod?"

Unable to resist, Leida looked toward Li Cheng, only to see that he was no longer taking five trees at a time, but dozens!

Raising an eyebrow, Leida's eyes narrowed, "Envious!"

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, several months had gone by.

Leida used the Divine World to its full capacity to extract Life Essence Qi, but the first batch of Life Divine Trees he had brought into his Divine World had barely had one-thousandth of their Essence Qi extracted.

Li Cheng, on the other hand, had already extracted from all the Life Divine Trees once.

Having only extracted one-tenth to one-fifth from each one, with over ten thousand Life Divine Trees here, Li Cheng's method was equivalent to extracting the Life Essence Qi from one to two thousand completely intact Life Divine Trees.

At this moment, the Life Essence Qi in the Nine Brilliance Star Venerable Tripod had already transformed into a one-kilometer-wide lake of life, with a terrifying vitality emanating from it!

Li Cheng had returned to the starting point, feeling somewhat regretful. If he had brought the Blunt Empty Residence, he could have taken these Life Divine Trees with him using it.

However, after reconsidering, Li Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up, "What would happen if I poured all this Life Essence Qi into a single Life Divine Tree?"

There were too many Life Divine Trees growing here, causing the nutrients to be too dispersed. If it could be concentrated on a single tree, perhaps it would grow into a towering ancient wood and produce a Heart of Divine Tree, just as Leida had said!

The Heart of Divine Tree from a Life Divine Tree would probably even make a Divine Emperor's heart flutter.

With this idea in mind, Li Cheng decided to take two trees back with him, to try this out in the Blunt Empty Residence after returning.

Just as he had collected two Life Divine Trees into the large tripod, Li Cheng suddenly sensed time fluctuations coming from the other side of the forest!

And the time fluctuations were growing stronger and stronger, so much so that even Leida had felt them!

Leida's eyes snapped open and he got up, on guard, "Why are there such strong time fluctuations? Has the Long River of Time appeared in this era?"

Li Cheng's heart tightened; it was indeed the ripple caused by the Long River of Time, but the fluctuation was too strong and was certain to alarm the Blood Demon Clan's powerhouses stationed here!

And Li Cheng pondered, if his master was to come out from the Long River of Time, he should appear in the Kunlun Realm, not the Divine Realm.

No sooner had the thought crossed his mind than figures appeared on the other side of the forest, their gazes fixed on the direction where the time fluctuations were coming from!

"If we're discovered, it's all over!" said Leida, his eyes slightly narrowed and his expression becoming severe.

The figures who had appeared, although only over a dozen, were all Divine Kings. Leida didn't believe he was capable of escaping from the hands of Divine Kings.

"We should be grateful that there aren't any Divine Emperors or even Divine Venerable level powerhouses," Li Cheng casually said.

Leida gave a bitter laugh. Was that something to be grateful for? If discovered, there would absolutely be no chance of survival!
