Chapter 158: 30 Years Worth of Cultivation, Time Halt
“An Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth?”
“They had actually found an Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth?”
“D*mn! What are we waiting for? Let’s head over now, we might be able to grab the Treasure of Heaven and Earth!”
“Don’t say anything else, let’s head over first...”
A huge broadcast rang across Pandora like a rock being thrown into calm lake water, causing a massive uproar.
All of the trainees were roused. They all rushed towards the northwest like swarms of bees. No one could turn a blind eye to an Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth.
No one!
Even if they knew that their strength was average, and there was a very slim chance of them grabbing the Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth, many of the trainees still set out without hesitation.
This was the allure of the Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth.
Streams of light flew across the sky as Pandora became livelier for a moment.
Ling Jiu, too, was one of them. He piloted his airship and followed behind several maglev airships, rushing towards the direction of the Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth.
On Pandora, the airship’s auto navigation system is unavailable, so everyone flew around like a headless fly.
But the location of the Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth will exude signal fluctuations from time to time, guiding each trainee to its direction.
Clearly, this was the doing of the training camp.
The training camp had found an Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth, and not only did they announced it, they had also placed a positioning device on its location, guiding all of the trainees there.
“With my current wealth, the generic Ultimate Treasures of Heaven and Earth are not something I bother with, but who wouldn’t like to get more of them?”
Ling Jiu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, drinking high-energy drinks as he enjoyed the scenery outside. The airship was travelling very quickly, and the scenery was constantly skimmed past, mountains and lakes, rivers and deserts...
They were just stunning!
The planet was not big, and could be easily circled around. About 10 minutes later, the airship arrived at the location of the Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth.
Below the airship was a dense pristine primordial jungle, and strangely enough, a giant tree that was very different from the flora of the planet grew there.
It was... very tall!
It was at least a thousand feet high with its roots firmly rooted in the ground. It was like the Sky Connecting Tree of the legends as it pierced into the sky.
The massive canopy spread out wide, covering an area of several kilometers, blocking off the sky and the sun as a massive shade.
“What a big tree!”
“This is the Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth?”
Ling Jiu narrowed his eyes, and he saw at a glance a positioning device stuck on top of the towering tree, It was constantly emitting signals.
Does that mean this massive tree is that Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth?
VOOOSH VOOSHH!!
At the same time, airships appeared one after another as they arrived before the giant tree. Aside from Ling Jiu, all other trainees were also rushing over.
In fact, Ling Jiu was not the first to arrive. There were already hundreds arriving long before he did.
These trainees surrounded the tree, rubbing their palms. They had long been unable to withhold their urges so they circled around the tree as if trying to dig it away.
“Is this the Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth? You gotta be kidding, this is too big. How do we even take it away?”
“It’s really big, but what’s the point of being big? Why was it identified as an Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth?”
“That’s a little troublesome...”
All of the trainees shared the same question. What was this Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth for? What was its exact value?
As a weapon?
As medicinal materials?
Or other uses?
It was just too big. If they had no idea what it was for, how do they even take it away?
The trainees were still arriving one after another, and a short moment later, there were over five to six thousand trainees standing before the tree.
At a glance, many were many acquaintances, like Christopher, Hirano Hatake, Zhou Ji and other trainees from the Super Training Camp.
There were also Francis, Han Chujun, Hao Shuai, Bai Ya, Wangwang from other training camps as well.
With the five or six thousand people gathered, this was the largest gathering of trainees since the hunting tournament, looking particularly spectacular.
“There are more and more people here. If we’re not careful, it could be a massive melee. I need to be careful or I might just die for nothing.”
“Fight, fight! The more ferocious the fight the better. Better still if everyone fight until they all are severely wounded, then I can sweep in and swoop this Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth!”
“The treasure is mine...”
Many of the trainees glanced at one another, their eyes inexplicable as they made their plans in silence.
Although they did not know the exact effect of this massive tree, it was still an Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth, and no one will easily give it up.
Of course, some trainees had already known that they had no hope in obtaining the treasure and were here just to look for drama. There was always no shortage of onlookers.
“I never thought so many trainees would gather around here!”
Han Chujun frowned. “Honey, how about we forget it? I think trying to take this tree is unrealistic.”
“Forget it?”
Francis said coldly. “You think I’m not strong enough to grab this ultimate treasure of heaven and earth?”
“No... I did not think so!”
Han Chujun hurriedly denied it, but her tone was somewhat unconvincing. Although she did not want to admit it, she does think so indeed.
Francis could not even defeat Ling Jiu. How could he seize the treasure under the eyes of so many other people?
Wishful thinking? No
“Yes, I don’t have the ability to grab the treasure, then you should leave and find a powerful enough wild man to help you grab the treasure then!”
Francis sneered.
“Honey, what’s wrong with you?”
Han Chujun’s eyes were filled with tears. “You’ve changed. Since the battle with Ling Jiu, you’ve changed...”
SLAP!!
Before she could finish her words, Francis raised his hand and slapped her. Han Chujun screamed as she was sent flying. The impact knocking her was so strong that even her filter mask was removed.
“Don’t ever mention that name in front of me!” Francis said coldly. “I hate that guy, he makes me sick!”
...
...
“Zhou Ji, join us!”
Christopher and Hirano Hatake came to Zhou Ji.
“You’ve also seen it yourself. There are so many trainees here, and many of them are monsters like Ling Jiu. We won’t be able to achieve anything alone. Only by working together will we have a ray of chance!”
Zhou Ji went silent. He was a proud person, so he did not bother to join hands with any trainees.
Even when he was being pressed on by Ling Jiu in the camp, and later on by Yang Ling’er and Ai Yuhe, he had never joined forces with anyone else.
But now, when it comes to the ownership of the Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth...
“Attention all trainees!”
“Attention all trainees!”
“Attention all trainees!”
At this moment, the loud broadcast rang out once again.
“The towering tree in front of you is the Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth. Not only it is indestructible, it can also shrink and grow freely.”
“It can also absorb Gene Arcana to continue growing, and is a very powerful wood-type cold weapon. Value: 200 thousand contribution points.”
“At the same time, the heart of the tree contains an astonishing amount of Gene Arcana. Based on our rough estimates, consuming its heart could increase one’s Gene Arcana cultivation by thirty years. Worth 600 thousand contribution points!”
“So, the total value of this tree is 800 thousand contribution points!”
“The way to kill it: Locate its heart, and then dig out the heart to kill it...”
“800 thousand contribution points?”
“F*ck me!”
“This tree is that expensive?”
“F*ck! It’s mine! Mine!”
Once the broadcast ended, things fell silent, but a massive wave stirred inside the hearts of all of the trainees.
800 thousand contribution points!
This was just outrageous! If an energy crystal was worth 10 thousand contribution points, then 800 thousand contribution points meant 80 energy crystals!
80 pieces!
What an outrageous number!
With that many energy crystals, it was enough to ensure that they reach level 7 and perhaps even higher. Who could just let them past? Who could just stay indifferent?
“I agree!”
Zhou Ji made the decision in an instant.
“Okay!”
“With the three of us joining forces, the odds of success will greatly increase!”
Christopher and Hirano Hatake were overjoyed.
A treasure worth 800 thousand contribution points, even if they divided the quantity evenly among the three of them, they can still get more than 200 thousand points, which was a lot!
...
“30 years worth of cultivation!”
Hao Shuai rubbed his chin. “I’m now a level 7 Arcanist. If I can add 30 years worth of Gene Arcana cultivation, breaking into level 8 won’t be a problem!”
“In other words...”
“As long as I can get the heart of this towering tree, I can become an level 8 Arcanist in just a few days!”
...
Everyone present was making plans, or rather, the moment they heard the broadcast, everyone became a hungry wolf.
Perhaps they may treat the cold weapon worth the 200 thousand point with some indifference as many were not wood-element Arcanists, so what’s the use of it?
But in the face of the Tree Heart that could increase one’s Gene Arcana cultivation by 30 years, no one could stay calm.
Everyone stared at the towering tree with a scorching gaze. Their hearts were on fire, but at the same time, when they looked at the surrounding trainees, their eyes were hostile.
Enemy!”
Yes, from that moment on, every other trainee was their enemy!
Although all of them were eyeing it, no one dared to make a rash move.
After all, there were thousands of Arcanists waiting around, and no one was confident that they could seize the treasure while coming under siege by so many. So, everyone was waiting.
For a moment, the whole place plunged into an awkward silence.
“What’s wrong? No one dares to step forward?”
At this moment, a slothful voice broke the silence, and everyone looked towards the source of the voice. They then saw a figure suddenly stepping out of the crowd as he looked at them with a smile.
“Since no one’s making a move, then I won’t be holding back.”
As he said that, the person stepped forward and walked step by step towards the tree.
“What guts!”
“How dare you try to seize the tree for yourself!”
“Get lost!”
“The heart of the tree is mine!”
What does the butterfly effect mean?
This was it!
Seeing the man suddenly stepping forward, all of the trainees present were furious as they launched their attacks.
Fire dragons, earth bombs, lightning, sound waves, plasma shots, lasers, rays and all sorts of attacks swept out like a tidal wave.
The targets were all pointed at the man as if wanting to blast him to smithereens, dust, minced meat, nothingness, atoms...
“Heh!”
