Chapter 13

In the secret realm of La Mountain, Xiaoming had seen such a tree, but that tree was larger and taller than this one! The leaves were even as large as an adult's hand.

Although he was unable to get close to that tree, the spiritual energy outside the barrier was very dense. He cultivated outside that barrier for three days and managed to solidify his Qi Cultivation Third Layer.

This big tree is a great place for cultivation!

With this in mind, Fang Ling followed the route marked on the tourist map and slowly approached the tree.

He walked very carefully, but the journey was very peaceful. There were no ferocious beasts, not even a snake.

Perhaps it was because this area belonged to the winged tiger, which is why it was so peaceful!

Thinking of the tiger, Fang Ling heard another roar from Monkey Mountain, not knowing what had happened.

After a quarter of an hour, Fang Ling was already close to the strange tree. Just like the tree in the secret realm of La Mountain, there was also a barrier around this tree.

However, compared to the one in La Mountain, this barrier was smaller and seemed more fragile.

But standing outside the barrier, Fang Ling could still feel the abundant spiritual energy.

Although it was half as much as in the secret realm of La Mountain, it was still twice as much as the outside world.

In other words, cultivating here for one day was equivalent to cultivating for two days in the outside world.

Fang Ling's palm gently touched the barrier, and a small force of repulsion came from it.

After a moment of hesitation, Fang Ling gathered all his internal energy and slapped it with full force.

This slap, Fang Ling used all his strength!

The palm wind howled, capable of splitting stones!

When his palm hit the faint barrier, it felt soft, but in an instant, a huge force of repulsion came from the barrier.

At that moment, Fang Ling's palm had already penetrated two inches into the barrier, which was like a glass dome.

Persist, keep persisting!

Fang Ling tried to push his palm forward, determined to break the barrier!

"Poof!"

Like a compressed balloon, the huge repulsion force still pushed Fang Ling away.

Fang Ling retreated five steps!

However, after stabilizing himself, a smile appeared on Fang Ling's face.

Through that slap, he had already sensed that his strength was just a little short of breaking the barrier.

Using his palm, the force was spread over a large area. If he used a sword to concentrate all the force at one point, the chances of success would be much higher!

Sitting under the tree, Fang Ling completed a full cycle of the Peiyuan Technique, bringing his energy to its best state. Then he drew his Jinghong Sword and, with the move "Lightning Flash," thrust it toward the barrier, merging with the sword.

The moment the sword touched the barrier, Fang Ling felt the repulsion force from the barrier again.

The repulsion force was very strong!

So strong that it made Fang Ling's hand tremble!

Persist, must persist!

Biting his teeth tightly, Fang Ling used the Golden Goose Technique, taking two steps in the air, gathering all his strength at the tip of the sword.

"Poof!"

The Jinghong Sword cut through the barrier, and Fang Ling smoothly entered the barrier like a rainbow.

The moment he entered the barrier, Fang Ling's momentum did not diminish, and he collided with the tree.

Seeing that he was about to slash the tree, Fang Ling quickly used his left foot to tap his right foot, using the force to land diagonally on the other side of the tree.

Standing under the tree, Fang Ling felt a surge of spiritual energy rushing toward him. Taking a deep breath, Fang Ling instantly judged that the spiritual energy inside the barrier was twice as strong as outside.

In other words, the spiritual energy here was the same as outside the barrier of the tree in La Mountain.

Greedily absorbing the pure spiritual energy, Fang Ling felt a strong longing for the tree in the secret realm of La Mountain.

The spiritual energy inside that barrier must be incredibly dense!

Spiritual energy is very important for all cultivators, especially those below the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation. They cannot yet rely on spirit stones to enhance their absorption of spiritual energy, so the amount of spiritual energy in an area is crucial to them.

If this place, which has four times the spiritual energy of the outside world, were to be exposed, it would not only cause chaos in Dinging City but also in Nanhua Continent.

Fang Ling walked toward the tree, intending to carefully observe what was special about this strange tree.

The tree was ten zhang tall, with long branches like dragons, and the leaves, like infant hands, moved even without wind.

The entire tree gave a sense of divine mystery.

Fang Ling's hand gently touched the trunk of the tree. The moment his hand touched the trunk, he felt a surge of spiritual energy rushing into his palm.

The spiritual energy was like a flood, surging and overwhelming.

In just a moment, Fang Ling felt that his already toughened meridians were cracking under the impact of the wild spiritual energy.

Am I going to be so unlucky as to die from my meridians being shattered by the spiritual energy?

Although he had the worst thoughts in his mind, Fang Ling quickly ran the Peiyuan Technique. He knew that if he desperately ran the technique, he might have a chance to survive, but if he didn't, he would surely die.

The Peiyuan Technique ran wildly in Fang Ling's body, trying to guide the wild spiritual energy into the right path. Unfortunately, there was too much spiritual energy, far more than Fang Ling could handle at the moment.

In just a moment, thirty-six cycles were completed.

It's over, really over this time!

Fang Ling, who had a clear understanding of cultivation, knew that he was about to die from his body being shattered.

Just as he was self-mocking, the massive amount of true qi in his meridians suddenly surged toward his head.

This change made Fang Ling even more terrified!

Dying from his body being shattered wasn't enough; was he going to die from his head exploding this time?

But the massive amount of spiritual energy was beyond his control.

All Fang Ling could do was guide the remaining spiritual energy to continue circulating in his meridians.

The thirty-seventh cycle!

This bottleneck that many people could not break through in their entire lives was no obstacle to Fang Ling under the wild impact of the massive spiritual energy. He directly entered the thirty-seventh cycle.

As a large amount of spiritual energy rushed to Fang Ling's head, the spiritual energy in his meridians, though increased, was gradually restrained by Fang Ling.

The Fourth Layer of Qi Cultivation was thus broken through!

If this were a normal time, Fang Ling would be very excited.

But now, he had no joy at all.

The spiritual energy, like a tsunami, was rushing to his head.

It might just cause his head to explode!

The spiritual energy rushed very quickly. The moment Fang Ling had the thought of his head exploding, the spiritual energy had already entered his head.

At that moment, the map of the West Suburb Zoo suddenly unfolded.

The light point representing Fang Ling's position became as bright as a star in the sky.

"Boom!"

The strange tree, ten zhang tall, suddenly rose from the ground, and all the palm-like leaves on the tree stood upright!

At that moment, Fang Ling also saw the roots of the tree hidden underground.

Unlike the messy and varied roots of ordinary trees, the roots of this tree were all the same size, each like a dragon flying in the air.

Dragon claws and dragon heads, all present, and the dragon scales were vividly lifelike.

Nine roots, nine dragons flying in the sky!

"Whoosh!"

The tree flew to Fang Ling's head like lightning, and at that moment, Fang Ling felt a sense of tranquility in his mind!

At that moment, Fang Ling did not see that the West Suburb Zoo map, which had absorbed a massive amount of spiritual energy, and the tree that had flown to him, had slowly merged into one above his head.

The tree, which had risen from the ground with great momentum, slowly disappeared into the map.

Forty-eight cycles!

With the completion of this cycle, the spiritual energy that had been running wild in Fang Ling's body like wild horses was transformed into internal energy and gathered in his dantian.

His meridians, which had cracked due to the impact of the massive spiritual energy, were all repaired, becoming not only wider but also stronger.

Fang Ling even felt that the speed of his true qi circulation had increased slightly.

A slight increase, but sometimes a slight increase could determine life and death.

However, at this moment, Fang Ling had no time to pay attention to the changes in his internal energy. His eyes eagerly looked at the position where the tree had been.

That position was right in front of him.

But now, the tree was gone, and only a flat ground remained!

There was no trace of the pit that should have been there.

Seeing this, Fang Ling felt even more strange.

He calmed himself and tried to recall the West Suburb Zoo map in his mind.

But at that moment, he found that the map was gone!

Where did the map go!

Just as he was anxious, a map appeared in his hand.

The map was three feet long, resembling silk or brocade, with a light yellow color and a few ancient patterns that gave a sense of the great principles of heaven and earth.

Holding the map, Fang Ling felt a sense of connection, as if the map was a part of him, and he was a part of the map.

Gently unfolding the map, he saw four characters: "West Suburb Smoke and Dust"!

Four ancient and elegant characters, which Fang Ling was sure he had never seen before but recognized at first glance.

The map was not large, only about four feet when unfolded!

This was Fang Ling's judgment, but in fact, the map was three feet and nine inches long.

The picture on the map was still the West Suburb Zoo, but it was completely different from the simple tourist map of the West Suburb Zoo.

The tourist map was just a map, but this map had imprinted the entire West Suburb Park.

No, it had incorporated the entire current West Suburb Park into the picture.

Every blade of grass, every stone, was as real as in the real world.

Fang Ling's mind involuntarily focused on the map.

"Boom!"

At that moment, Fang Ling found himself in a vast space of a thousand miles, with Monkey Mountain, Crocodile Lake, and a tree ten zhang tall with palm-like leaves.

He was standing under that tree.

At that moment, a flood of information quickly flooded into Fang Ling's mind.

With the influx of information, Fang Ling's face showed a hint of excitement!
