Chapter 975: [713] Divine Tree, Refining Treasures (First update, thank you for the reward support)_3 Chapter 975: [713] Divine Tree, Refining Treasures (First update, thank you for the reward support)_3 “Enough chit-chat, hurry up.”
“I’ve heard there used to be a curious tree in Saint Yuan Village, Southern Mojing Country, called the ‘Golden Mother Divine Tree.’ Its leaves could upgrade weapons. It’s said that the boots of Technique God Songzi, which could travel thousands of miles in a day, and Tianzang’s sword both had been upgraded by the ‘Golden Mother Divine Tree’ and became spiritual objects…”
“The ‘Golden Mother Divine Tree’…” Pei Jinye mused.
This memory was mentioned by both Pitan and Palace Ji.
But these were just speculations.
“Are you sure about this information?”
Kunad was absolutely certain, “At first I wasn’t sure, but then in Mojing Country I bribed a local, and he had half a leaf from the ‘Golden Mother Divine Tree.''”
“And the leaf?”
Pei Jinye inquired.
Kunad presented a silver box with both hands, and upon opening it, revealed a half-leaf that appeared to be rusted: “This is it. I checked the records, and they say the ‘Golden Mother Divine Tree’ changes like this when it isn’t used for a long time. I couldn’t believe that this small thing could forge supreme weapons.”
Pei Jinye held the rusted leaf in his hand and truly felt an extraordinary aura.
“Your Majesty…”
Before Kunad could voice his own guess,
he saw Pei Jinye use some method unknown to him, and the rusted half-leaf began to shed its rust, revealing its initial golden hue.
Kunad’s mouth fell open in amazement at the sight, noticing Pei Jinye looking over, he hastily began to flatter: “Your Majesty truly is chosen by the heavens, a possessor of great fortune. I tried countless methods and couldn’t restore this leaf to its original state, but you revived it in an instant…”
While speaking,
Kunad’s heart was also trembling.
The more powerful Pitan became, the more fear he would have.
But what filled his heart even more was joy.
“Your Majesty, this could be a blessing in disguise. Perhaps before long, we could become the strongest nation in Southeast Asia!”
Pei Jinye looked at him,
knowing both Pitan and he harbored ambitions.
So, he said nothing.
Focusing again on the golden leaf in his hand.
“The records say that merely touching the leaf to the weapon will let it upgrade and temper itself?”
Kunad hesitated before nodding: “Yes, that’s what’s said, but I can’t confirm if it’s true. Why not give it a try, Your Majesty?”
Pei Jinye took out the damaged King Kong Armor and pressed the leaf against it with his right hand.
Golden light instantly spread over the King Kong Armor.
Kunad watched the spectacle in astonishment.
“Is that it?”
He looked uncertainly at the King Kong Armor and then at Pei Jinye.
Not being a Artifact Refiner, he naturally didn’t understand what had happened to the armor. At the moment, he was too shocked to notice that this was armor he had never seen the King wear.
But it was not unusual.
With so many exotic treasures in Pitan’s possession, how could he have seen them all?
“Too little…”
Pei Jinye felt somewhat regretful.
As an Artifact Refiner, he inspected the King Kong Armor, noticing subtle changes in some of its patterns. At least two-thirds of the areas previously shattered by Pitan and the others had been effectively repaired.
And this…
Was just from a single leaf!
If they could find the Golden Mother Divine Tree…
Even Pei Jinye started breathing more rapidly with excitement.
“We must not delay; let’s go to Mojing Country now!”
“Now?” Kunad was startled.
It was just past seven in the morning. Didn’t the King usually go for a morning exercise around this time?
But thinking of the importance of the Golden Mother Divine Tree,
he quickly nodded.
“I’ll arrange a private plane.”
“No, don’t expose my whereabouts; continue approaching Mojing Country under the guise of academic visits. My profile is too high and it could easily draw the attention of other organizations.”
Pei Jinye was acutely aware of how big a target Pitan was.
Perhaps even now, there were people from the Summer Country in the Tanwood Country plotting his assassination.
He hoped the secret signal he left would urge them to exercise more rationality.
…
…
“King, the informants have been killed, and now this place is already under our secret control,”
Kunad seemed simple-minded, but his actions were decisive and efficient.
Pei Jinye looked at him but didn’t say much.
Bowing his head, Kunad didn’t seek to take credit with Pei Jinye; he merely needed to let the King know… his loyalty was unshakeable!
“That man said that he found the remnants of the Golden Mother Divine Tree here, and after that, he never encountered it again.”
Upon hearing this, Pei Jinye released his Elemental Power, quickly sensing the land around them.
Kunad thought he was deep in thought and didn’t dare to disturb him.
“Let’s go this way.”
All of a sudden, Pei Jinye spoke, and Kunad led the way, following him.
They circled the mountain range for about fifteen minutes.
Pei Jinye threw a punch to open the mountain.
The mountain wall in front of them shattered, revealing a massive opening.
Kunad was even dumbfounded.
Wasn’t it said that the King had been seriously injured?
Does this look like the sign of a serious injury?
He understood! It must have been the King’s doing, pretending to be weak on purpose, with the aim of trapping all those people in one fell swoop.
[The King truly deserves his title. Such profound stratagems!]
…
“You stay here.”
Kunad accompanied Pei Jinye down the gap in the ground.
They walked for a full half-hour.
“King, this is actually an Underground Palace.”
Kunad was shocked.
It was unbelievable that there were traces of human beings here.
Pei Jinye observed the surroundings of the excavated environment.
It was clear that someone had deliberately hidden the Golden Mother Divine Tree here. Although he didn’t know who, being able to hide it for so many years without discovery was also a miracle.
He broke through the gate.
Golden light instantly shone out from the inside.
Kunad was a little nervous.
“King…”
Pei Jinye ignored him, having already entered first.
In the distance, a tree over ten meters tall stood as if it had grown for many years, its entire body emitting a rosy glow.
Kunad was dumbstruck.
When Pei Jinye approached, he immediately felt a powerful energy contained in the air.
And an undeniable will was slowly awakening.
Pei Jinye’s heart tightened.
This tree was not the same as the one in the relics left by Master Tianzang.
Clearly, this tree in front of him had birthed its own consciousness.
“What year is it this evening?”
The Divine Tree spoke slowly.
The leaves rustled.
A hazy will emerged, filled with extremely vigorous life energy.
Kunad, who had rushed in, was immediately stunned and stood still.
This was intense; the tree… could actually talk???
…
Pei Jinye stared at the Divine Tree, his eyes gradually brightening.
Being able to communicate was the best outcome.

…
Not long after,
he took out a Sword Box, various knives, protective gear… nearly all artifacts which were treasures in their own right, continuously bringing them out.
…
The Divine Tree couldn’t help but interrupt and ask: “May I inquire, just how many treasures do you have left?”
“The last one. I’m not lying to you this time. If I lie, I’m a dog!”
