The middle-aged man was Master Zeng from the Alchemy Department, the one who had concocted the Foundation Establishment Pill for Chen Mobar which was derived from demonic beasts. He was also the master of Yan Jinye.
“Boy, you must have gained something from the Divine Tree, these three fellows merely fainted for a day, then woke up on their own, and came to report to the Shenmu Hall. But you, you fainted for a whole of ten days, almost at par with Hong He.”
Meng Hong pointed to Yan Jinye and said, making the latter lower her head in
shame.
“Indeed, I gained something.”
Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, thinking it was better to preserve his genius image. After all, at this point, he was regarded as one of the twin marvels of the Divine Wood Sect, together with Hong He.
Hong He might have also taken ten steps, that imprint should be his.
Since the two are equally renowned, Chen Mobai naturally can’t hide his
capabilities.
“How many steps did you take?”
upon hearing this, Meng Hong, who was initially calm, couldn’t help but rush to Chen Mobai’s bedside, asking in an excited manner, which greatly surprised the latter.
Did he perhaps overstate his achievements?
-Only up to the tenth step, it’s regrettable that I couldn’t touch the Divine Tree.” But there was nothing he could do, having already spoken, he had to continue and play along.
Everyone in the room gasped in astonishment.
Even Master Zeng, who had been cold-faced since he came in, showed an astonished expression upon hearing that Chen Mobai had taken ten steps in front of the Divine Tree.
During the time before the Five Elements Sect was divided, he too had entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm but could only take six steps in front of the Divine Tree.
It was precisely because he had experienced it that he knew how hard it was to
take ten steps.
This was not as simple as one plus one but a huge disparity of many folds, even tenfold.
No doubt, this man is truly a Sword Cultivation Genius!
Only this kind of person with a sword heart made of iron could resist such a terrifying Divine Sense Attack that resembled a raging storm.
This little guy might even be more talented than Hong He.
Seeing the astonished gazes of Meng Hong and Master Zeng, Chen Mobai felt he might have bragged a bit too much.
However, at this point, he had no choice but to keep up the facade.
“Chen senior brother, you are truly formidable!
Yan Jinye looked at the handsome young man lying on the sickbed with a slightly pale face, full of admiration.
She felt that even if this person was seriously injured and could only lift a finger, he could easily annihilate a mediocrity like her.
Because she had just experienced the Divine Tree’s test, the terrifying pressure that was like the dark clouds covering the sky, omnipresent, yet inescapable, was still fresh in her mind.
Compared to Meng Hong and Zeng Woyou who could only rely on their memories, she was more familiar with the difficulty and pain right now.
“You are the first True Disciple since our sect was divided from the Five Elements Sect, to take ten steps toward the Divine Tree. Can you share in detail?”
Meng Hong asked Chen Mobai solemnly.
Hearing this, Chen Mobai felt dizzy.
Why was he the first?
Is Hong He so incompetent that he couldn’t take ten steps?
Originally, when he heard from figures like E Yun and Zhou Wangshen highly regarded Hong He, and Meng Hong mentioned that he and Hong He had similarly fainted for about the same duration, he had thought that this person had also taken ten steps. He was even considering that Hong He was indeed worthy of being called the twin marvels of the Divine Wood Sect with him, a sword cultivation genius.
Who knew he had been deceived.
If it weren’t for the gains he last obtained from the Divine Tree, he probably could have had his persona collapse today.
“This should have been my extraordinary fortune, even within the sect, I don’t want to leave any traces.”
Upon hearing this, Meng Hong understood what he was implying.
“Rest assured, your gains from the Divine Tree will only be shared orally within the transfer department and won’t be recorded as text in the Book Pavilion.” “Moreover, regardless of whether this fortune is useful to our Divine Wood Sect, I, as the sect leader, will privately compensate you with a Rank-2 Magic
Artifact.”
“Master Zeng is a direct disciple of elder Zhou, this matter needs to be reported to him when Elder Zhou comes out.”
Upon hearing these three sentences, Chen Mobai knew that even if he had decided not to disclose his gains in front of the Divine Tree, it probably wouldn’t have worked out.
Elder Zhou was involved after all.
Since that was the case, Chen Mobai began to use his imagination, combined with the characters he liked from the TV shows he had watched, promptly made up an improvisational story which was half real, half fake, yet it left Meng Hong and the others startled.
“I took the tenth step, but realized that even with my talent, I could just stop here, not daring to cross the line.”
“However, as a Sword Cultivator, we would rather break than bend, even knowing that I might die if I take the eleventh step, I remained fearless. I took the next step and also swung the most brilliant sword of my life towards the
Divine Tree.”
-Once this sword was swung, I felt as if I had shattered into pieces and fell into a long sleep. I don’t know for how long, but when I woke up in the darkness, I saw an extremely tall figure.”
-This person was facing away from the world, had hair as black as ink, and held a Rotten Wood Sword in his right hand.”
“He spoke a sentence and swung a sword.”
-With that sword, space shattered, even the Dao was slashed away, but finally, a new world was born, I guess it was the origin of the Divine Tree Secret
Realm.”
“After opening the world with one sword, he asked if I saw it clearly.
“I shook my head, he sighed, then slowly disappeared. Later, I woke up and as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Yin junior sister..
