On the surrounding walls, bathed in golden light, one golden character after another appeared in mid-air, their strokes vigorous and powerful, as if they were flying.
"What...what is this?"
Three-tailed, six-tailed, Little Fire, and Little Gray were all stunned by the breathtaking and strange sight before them.
Then, they were drawn to the mysterious writing all around them.
"This should be the third volume of the 'Heavenly Book'!"
Li Yao looked calmly at the golden characters that appeared in the air before him.
At the same time, a notification sound rang in his mind.
He immediately integrated the third volume of the "Heavenly Book" into the "True Scripture of the Great Dao," which once again received significant improvements and refinements.
"So this is the third volume of the 'Heavenly Book'?"
Six-Tails was surprised.
Then, it shook its head and said, "Although this third volume of the Heavenly Book is extremely exquisite, it is far inferior to the Great Dao True Scripture that Master taught us."
Sanwei nodded in agreement, saying, "Big brother is right. The 'Great Dao True Scripture' that Master taught us is easy to understand yet extremely powerful, while the third volume of the 'Heavenly Book' is somewhat profound and obscure, and not easy to comprehend."
Li Yao smiled and said:
"My 'Great Dao True Scripture' gathers all the cultivation methods in the world and has been optimized. It is the origin of the Great Dao and is naturally incomparable to the 'Heavenly Book'."
"However, this third volume of the Heavenly Book also has many valuable points that can be used to improve my Great Dao True Scripture."
Liuwei nodded, looking enlightened, and said, "I see. You must have come here for the third volume of the Heavenly Book."
"good!"
Li Yao nodded.
At this moment, the golden light flickered slowly, and then gradually dimmed.
Then, Li Yao reached out and pulled the Heavenly Emperor Nether Stone into his hand.
At the same time, he made a copy of the Heavenly Emperor's Nether Stone.
Then, he looked at Little Gray, who was perched on Little Fire's shoulder, and said, "Little Gray, open your mouth!"
Little Gray was very obedient and opened its pointed monkey mouth.
Li Yao threw the Heavenly Emperor's Nether Stone into Little Gray's mouth.
Little Gray was stunned and swallowed the Heavenly Emperor's Nether Stone without even realizing it.
Since the Heavenly Emperor's Nether Stone was the key to Xiao Hui's awakening into a three-eyed spirit monkey, Li Yao had Xiao Hui consume it.
In fact, the Heavenly Emperor's Nether Stone may have more than just allowed Little Gray to open his Heavenly Eye ahead of time.
In the original story, the Beast God also longed to obtain this item.
Is it necessary for a beast god as powerful as him to covet this treasure?
The Heavenly Emperor's Nether Stone shouldn't increase your cultivation level, since the Beast God is already practically invincible.
However, the Beast God had one thing on his mind: Linglong, the creature he had created.
He had always loved Linglong deeply, but Linglong had been dead for many years.
The Beast God's desire for the Heavenly Emperor's Nether Stone is likely due to its ability to resurrect the dead.
He wanted to use the Heavenly Emperor's Nether Stone to revive Linglong and then be with her forever.
Of course, these are all just Li Yao's speculations.
Li Yao looked around and found that the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury was very spacious and the spiritual energy inside was also very rich.
This place was originally the Heavenly Emperor's place of cultivation.
With such abundant spiritual energy, it's no wonder the Heavenly Emperor chose to cultivate here.
Having obtained everything he needed, Li Yao lingered no longer.
He arrived at the stone gate, and with his hands in the air in front of him, he made a pushing motion to open the stone gate to both sides.
Under the astonished gazes of Liuwei and the others, the stone door slowly opened.
Chapter 377 Incredible Ideas
What is the most valuable treasure in the Death Swamp?
Is it a miracle drug?
no!
Is it the Heavenly Emperor's Nether Stone?
No, not at all!
Is it the third volume of "The Book of Heaven"?
No, that's not it either!
In Li Yao's eyes, the most valuable treasure here is probably the towering tree in front of him.
He also remembered that in the myths of his previous life, there was a kind of 'Jianmu', which was a sacred tree worshipped by the ancient people.
Legend has it that the Jianmu tree is a bridge connecting heaven, earth, humanity, and the gods.
Emperors such as Fuxi and Huangdi all used this sacred ladder to travel between the human world and the heavenly court.
Clearly, the giant tree in front of us looks very much like the legendary Jianmu tree.
Legend has it that the Heavenly Emperor of this world once cultivated in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury of this giant tree.
However, after Li Yao flew to the top of the giant tree, he flew upwards for a while longer but did not find any divine realm or heavenly court.
In other words, even if a divine realm exists in the world of Jade Dynasty, and even if a Heavenly Emperor exists in this world, it is likely that with his current cultivation level, he would find it difficult to locate the divine realm or the Heavenly Emperor.
Through estimation, Li Yao discovered that this giant tree was about 10,000 zhang tall, with a trunk diameter of over 100 zhang and a maximum crown diameter of over 400 zhang.
Generally speaking, the height of a tree determines the depth of its roots.
However, the climate here is humid, so the tree roots don't grow that deep.
Even so, the roots of this giant tree may very well extend deep underground, reaching about 5,000 feet.
Therefore, it would be extremely difficult for Li Yao to bring such a huge divine tree into his space.
He tried touching the Heavenly Tree with his hand and then using his mind to transfer it into space, but he immediately felt dizzy and couldn't budge the tree at all.
"Sir, do you really want to bring this divine tree into your spatial dimension?"
Liuwei discovered Li Yao's intentions and was extremely shocked.
“Sir, this divine tree is ten thousand feet tall. It is probably not even as tall as the tallest mountain in the world. It is impossible to move it into space.”
The three tails shook their heads repeatedly.
She felt that Li Yao's attempt to bring the divine tree into the space was like an ant trying to lift an elephant—it was simply impossible.
"I know!"
"However, this divine tree exudes an extremely rich spiritual energy; it is practically a giant spiritual vein."
"If we place this divine tree in the space, the spiritual energy of the space will definitely become extremely rich, which will be of great benefit to our cultivation!"
"Furthermore, have you noticed that the trees near this sacred tree are all extremely common species, but they are much thicker and more lush than the same species in other places?"
"Clearly, the surrounding trees have undergone some kind of mutation under the influence of the divine tree's spiritual energy."
"If we bring this divine tree into the space and plant exotic flowers and herbs around it, it will surely bring unexpected surprises."
"Therefore, I must do everything I can to get my hands on this divine tree, otherwise I will have wasted my time coming all this way."
Li Yao became more and more excited as he spoke, and his gaze grew increasingly fervent.
In his eyes, this sacred tree was an inexhaustible treasure trove.
"That's true, but this divine tree is too huge to even be uprooted. How can we get it into the space?"
Six-Tails stared at the giant tree in front of him, frowned, and shook his head.
"Yes, sir, the divine tree is good, but we must act according to our abilities. We must not hurt ourselves because of it!"
Sanwei said with a worried expression.
She clearly remembered that the last time Li Yao brought the enormous Kui Niu and Fulong Cauldron into his space, he was severely injured and had to take a lot of spiritual medicine and rest for a long time before he could recover.
Today, the giant tree before us is many times larger than the Kui Niu and the Fulong Cauldron.
Therefore, trying to bring this giant tree into the space could very likely cause Li Yao to be injured, or even risk his life.
"Master, perhaps we should just forget about it!"
After hearing what the Three-Tails said, Little Fire also became worried.
"Don't worry, I'll do what I'm capable of!"
Li Yao smiled slightly.
He won't easily give up on the idea until he's tried it.
His space currently extends 100 li (approximately 50,000 meters) into the sky, and is at the same depth underground.
This giant tree is about 10,000 zhang tall, or more than 33,000 meters, and its roots are about 16,000 meters deep.
Therefore, his space is more than enough to accommodate this giant tree.
Next, he needs to consider how to move the giant tree into space.
The process of transplanting the giant tree from the world of Jade Dynasty to this space can be roughly divided into three steps.
The first step was to dig out the giant tree.
When digging up a giant tree, you must not damage its root system.
Normally, the diameter of a tree's root system is about the same as the maximum diameter of its crown.
The canopy of this giant tree has a maximum diameter of about four hundred feet.
