Chapter 1473: Chapter 1473: Am I Really That Scary? (Third Update)

Ye Haochuan felt a bit uncomfortable about making two futile trips to the ancient tree, but he didn’t dwell on it. What concerned him the most now was where the tree was acquiring the spiritual energy to transmit to Yige.

The tree evidently guessed Ye Haochuan’s doubts and said, ”In this Holy Land, there are three Spirit-Gathering Trees in total, and I’m just one of them!”

”Spirit-Gathering Tree?” Ye Haochuan had never heard of this name before, and he couldn’t help but feel curious.

”A Spirit-Gathering Tree, as the name suggests, is meant for attracting spiritual energy. Otherwise, why do you think there’s so much more spiritual energy here compared to outside?”

Oh, so that’s how it is!

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but sigh.

When he arrived, he had been wondering why the distribution of spiritual energy was so uneven here. As it turns out, it’s all thanks to this tree.

And the purpose of doing this is clearly to provide a superior cultivation environment for a select few people. After all, cultivating ten people at the Core Formation Stage is not as cost-effective as concentrating all resources to cultivate one person at the Nascent Soul Stage.

”Although we three Spirit-Gathering Trees are far apart, our vast root systems are intertwined! So you can rest assured!” the tree explained briefly, then stopped talking to Ye Haochuan and focused on supplying Yige to enhance his cultivation.

Not long after, Ye Haochuan clearly felt that his vision was much improved. About a few hundred meters away from his location, he finally saw the other two Spirit-Gathering Trees.

At that moment, those two Spirit-Gathering Trees were almost frantically absorbing spiritual energy, clearly supplying this tree behind him through their roots.

The area where these three large trees are arranged in a triangular formation used to be the densest area of spiritual energy in the whole Holy Land. But in just a few minutes, the spiritual energy had become thinner than in the so-called white area.

As the concentration of spiritual energy decreased, the cultivators who were originally focused on their cultivation began to clamor.

”What the heck, what’s going on here?”

”Damn, is the barrier outside leaking? How has the concentration of spiritual energy dropped so much?”

”Oh come on, I barely managed to collect enough Jade Tokens to get in here, and now the spiritual energy is leaking? This is just unfair!”

After a burst of noise, everyone’s attention turned to the three Spirit-Gathering Trees that were absorbing spiritual energy like crazy.

Ye Haochuan was startled. This had clearly already incited public wrath. If they truly discovered that Yige was the one absorbing all the spiritual energy, even if he had three heads and six arms, he couldn’t withstand so much anger from everyone.

Luckily, Yige’s figure was petite and had been deliberately hidden by the tree in its canopy. This giant tree was forty or fifty meters high, and even its upper branches were thick enough for an adult to wrap their arms around. Hiding a person on the tree was incredibly easy.

So those people only saw three large trees frantically absorbing spiritual energy, without knowing that Yige was the instigator of all this.

”What’s going on?” The woman who had brought Ye Haochuan in also felt the anomaly and quickly ran over to ask.

Ye Haochuan showed a face of ”bewilderment,” saying, ”I don’t know either. I was practicing well, but for some reason, this tree just started to absorb spiritual energy like crazy! I’m just as puzzled!”

Even though he said that, he kept breaking out in cold sweat in his mind, praying that they wouldn’t discover Yige.

The woman examined the tree carefully, her brows furrowing more and more tightly.

She could feel the aura around the tree gradually rising, but she clearly attributed this phenomenon to the tree absorbing too much spiritual energy, without even considering that someone might be enhancing their cultivation.

The woman probed for a long time, but found nothing. She swiftly left Ye Haochuan’s area and ran to another tree.

Just as she began examining the second tree, Ye Haochuan suddenly heard a soft cry from the treetops.

And right after that soft cry was heard, the three large trees almost simultaneously stopped absorbing spiritual energy. The spiritual energy in the Holy Land stopped thinning and instead became abundant again due to the spiritual veins spreading the energy.

The rowdy cultivators found it all rather baffling. But since their Jade Tokens were not easy to come by, they couldn’t afford to waste any minute on anything other than cultivation. So very quickly, things quieted down again.

The most bewildered had to be that woman.

She hadn’t even figured out what the situation was, and the sudden anomaly just disappeared. After quickly checking the three large trees to confirm there was nothing wrong, she started to communicate with the people in these central three areas.

Only then did Ye Haochuan notice that the cultivators in the other two areas were just like him, standing there in bewilderment.

Due to the thinning spiritual energy, Ye Haochuan could finally resolve his curiosity from before, and see clearly who in the other two areas could stand on equal footing with Ye Xiao.

He originally thought that at least one of the other two areas would belong to one of the five great talents. But to his disappointment, none of them belonged to them.

The first area was occupied by a middle-aged man with a mustache. Due to the distance, Ye Haochuan couldn’t discern his particular level of cultivation. But for some reason, he felt this person seemed somewhat familiar.

As for the other person, Ye Haochuan was a bit dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected it was actually someone he knew.

”Yang Quan? Shouldn’t he be in the Sub-Primordial Dimension Realm? Why is he here?” Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but feel curious.

Like the headquarters of the Ancient Martial Arts Sect in the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm, the headquarters of the Institute of Extensive Learning lies in the Eight Trigrams Dimension Realm’s Sub-Primordial Dimension Realm.

If the Sub-Shaking Dimension Realm has a Holy Land for cultivation, then the Sub-Primordial Dimension Realm should certainly have one too. Yang Quan, as the beloved grandson of Yang Sen, why would he travel so far?

Just as Ye Haochuan was pondering, Yang Quan clearly noticed Ye Haochuan as well.

However, the instant he saw Ye Haochuan, his legs trembled, and he collapsed on the ground. Clearly, Ye Haochuan’s previous intimidation still left him apprehensive.

Ye Haochuan took a few steps forward, intending to ask Yang Quan why he was here.

But at the sight of his stance, Yang Quan was so frightened that he scrambled and fled, ignoring even the woman’s calls.

Goodness, do I really look that frightening?

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but find it amusing.

In their last encounter, Ye Haochuan was indeed furious with Yang Quan, almost wanting to skin him alive. However, he had already vented his anger, and so much time had passed since the incident that it was impossible for Ye Haochuan to deal with him over that matter again.

”You know Young Master Yang Quan too?” The woman approached Ye Haochuan with some curiosity and inquired.

When they first came in, she had been curious about Ye Haochuan’s identity. Later, due to his acquaintance with Ji Tianyu, her curiosity deepened further.

But no matter how she asked, Ye Haochuan only claimed to be an insignificant person.

Now, it was clear from Yang Quan’s behavior that he feared Ye Haochuan. This further cemented her belief that Ye Haochuan could not possibly be an insignificant person.

In response to her question, Ye Haochuan simply smiled without answering.
