Chapter 437 Dragon Scale Chinese Scholar Tree (1/2)

Giant misty mountain was filled with silence.

Rustle!

The faint sound of someone stepping on dried leaves was suddenly heard. One could only watch as two figures, one old and one young, slowly walked over from far away, unhurriedly traversing the mountain forest.

These two figures naturally belonged to old Xuan and Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan curiously observed his surroundings. They were already beginning to near the sealed main peak which ordinary disciples had been barred from approaching.

“Follow my exact steps and don’t make any mistakes. If not, no one will be able to save you.” Old Xuan’s voice suddenly sounded from the front.

Zhou Yuan’s heart shivered when he heard this as he looked to his front. Sure enough, he saw the several spots in space faintly distort as an indescribable feeling of danger caused his hairs to rise.

Zhou Yuan could not help but ask, “We can’t be going into the sealed area, right?”

Old Xuan nodded.

Cold sweat immediately appeared on Zhou Yuan’s back. The sealed main peak was said to be extremely dangerous. If one recklessly entered, let alone the Alpha-Origin stage, even Divine Dwelling and Heavenly Sun stage experts would be instantly killed by the seal.

“Relax, nothing will happen as long as you keep to the path.” Old Xuan consoled before walking into the region where space was faintly distorting.

Zhou Yuan hesitated a little before he gritted his teeth and quickly caught up. Every step was very carefully placed on the footprints left by old Xuan, not daring to make even the tiniest of mistakes.

As such, the two individuals advanced into the depths of the mountain.

After an incense stick of time, cold sweat was continuously dripping from Zhou Yuan’s forehead, a sign that he was clearly under a tremendous amount of pressure. He softly asked, “Elder, how long more?”

However, old Xuan ignored him, leaving him no choice but to shut his mouth and follow.

This continued for quite a lengthy amount of time before old Xuan extended a finger and gently swung it in the air. The mist to the front immediately scattered as the originally warping space began to return to normal.

“Alright.”

Upon hearing old Xuan’s voice, Zhou Yuan’s tensed body slowly began to relax. He quickly scanned the surroundings. Sure enough, he found that the dangerous aura was starting to fade.

There was a sliver of astonishment in Zhou Yuan’s eyes as he could not help but ask, “Elder, you can control the seal on the main peak?”

Old Xuan shook his head and said, “The seal on the main peak was personally made by master back then. How can I possibly control it? After staying here for way too many years, I’ve become capable of just barely avoiding some of the dangers.”

Zhou Yuan was a little disappointed. If old Xuan was truly able to control the seal, wouldn’t it be super convenient?

“The thing you want is to our front.” Old Xuan pointed to the front.

Zhou Yuan hurriedly raised his head and cast his gaze over. The ground some distance to their front had a deep black hue, making it look similar to a swamp. At the center of this giant swamp was an enormous ancient tree.

The ancient tree gave off a timeless aura as it silently towered there. Its thick and strong trunk was covered in some kind of scale like things, while a faint but mighty pressure pulsed from it.

The ancient tree’s lush branches stretched out, nearly covering the entire sky in the area, while the twigs silently hung from them.

As he gazed upon the ancient tree, Zhou Yuan felt the half complete Taiyi mark in his body begin to shake violently as a feeling of intense desire spread from it.

This desire was even stronger than when faced with Su Duan’s ancient wood bracelet from before.
