Chapter 209: Movie King Zhou Chen, Han Li Curses

Xuan Lao was silent for a long time, his voice trembling slightly: "The heart of the world tree… that is an existence ten thousand times more precious than the seed!"

"It contains complete Great Dao rules and is the heart of the world tree's Origin essence! The two share the same root and Origin and can be used simultaneously, but that would be a bit of a waste. The function of the heart of the world tree is far greater than the World Tree Seed. With a World Tree Seed, one can almost certainly…"

"How powerful is it?!"

Zhou Chen was extremely shocked and pressed for more.

"Put it this way."

Xuan Lao took a deep breath: "If you possess the heart of the world tree and absorb it during your Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm, you can evolve a world prototype within your body. Do you know what this means?"

"What?"

"It means almost certain Immortal Ascension! And not just an ordinary immortal, but a legendary True Immortal who has mastered at least one Law of the Great Dao!"

Xuan Lao said excitedly.

"As far as I know, in ancient times, those who could open up a world within their bodies were all earth-shaking existences!"

Zhou Chen's heart raced wildly.

He knew the World Tree Seed was precious, but he didn't expect the heart of the world tree to be terrifying to this extent!

"However—"

Xuan Lao changed his tone.

"The heart of the world tree is too precious. Even if you've obtained it, you can't refine it yet. You must wait until you reach the Perfection of the Quasi-Emperor stage and are about to Breakthrough to the Great Emperor stage before you can use it."

"I understand."

Zhou Chen nodded.

After leaving the treasury, Han Li held the Tianyuan Cauldron, unable to put it down: "This cauldron is not bad; refining Medicinal Pills will be much more convenient in the future!"

But for some reason, he always felt an emptiness in his heart, as if he had lost something extremely important.

"Brother Zhou, what is that seed? Could it be that Brother Zhou recognizes it?"

Han Li asked curiously. He knew it was a bit abrupt to ask, but that feeling of loss at the time was so unbearable that he asked anyway.

"Just keep it for now."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Maybe it will sprout one day."

"True."

Han Li scratched his head and said, "But I always feel that World Tree Seed isn't simple. You must take good care of it."

"I will."

After the two bid farewell, Zhou Chen returned to his residence alone.

City of the Four Seas and Eight Desolations, Zhou Chen's residence.

In the dead of night, Zhou Chen sat cross-legged and peered into his Dantian again.

The heart of the world tree floated quietly in the center of the Chaos power, emitting a seven-colored divine light.

Every strand of light contained complete Great Dao rules, as if a miniature world was being nurtured within it.

A treasure of this level was enough to drive any Cultivator mad.

If Zhou Chen exposed the existence of the heart of the world tree, the old monsters of the entire Tianxuan Continent would probably charge at him without hesitation in an instant, not caring if they turned the whole continent upside down.

After all, who could refuse the Opportunity for Immortal Ascension?

"Xuan Lao was right. The heart of the world tree requires the Perfection of the Quasi-Emperor stage to refine. Right now, I am far from qualified."

Zhou Chen thought to himself.

His gaze turned to the dusty World Tree Seed in his storage ring.

Although far inferior to the heart of the world tree, this World Tree Seed was also a priceless treasure, enough to produce a future powerhouse.

"The look in Han Li's eyes when he saw this seed in the treasury…"

Zhou Chen recalled the scene at that time—the longing from the depths of Han Li's heart and the sense of loss when he later took the initiative to give it up.

Considering that since he met Han Li, the other party had never done anything to harm him and instead always looked out for him.

A person as cautious as Han Li was even willing to stand up for him in the Tai Xu Secret Realm when facing a life-and-death crisis.

"Besides, I already have the heart of the world tree. This World Tree Seed doesn't add much value for me."

Zhou Chen lowered his head and pondered, a flash of determination in his eyes.

"But if I give it to Han Li, not only can I help create a future giant, but I can also thoroughly cement this friendship. One World Tree Seed in exchange for a brother to share life and death with—it's worth it!"

And so on.

"Han Li is good."

Zhou Chen gradually came to a decision.

Han Li's talent was beyond doubt, and more importantly, his character—caution meant he would live long, and being sentimental and righteous meant he would not easily betray Zhou Chen.

Such a person was worth investing in.

Having made up his mind, Zhou Chen immediately sent a message: "Brother Han, could you come to my residence for a chat? I have important matters to discuss."

In less than fifteen minutes, Han Li rushed over in a hurry.

"Brother Zhou, is there something urgent that you're looking for me so late?"

Han Li asked with concern.

At the same time, Han Li handed two storage rings to Zhou Chen: "Brother Han, these are for you. The new Medicine Cauldron is good. Since we are about to part and don't know when we'll meet again, I've refined several batches of Medicinal Pills for you."

Zhou Chen took the storage rings and found that they contained hundreds of bottles of Medicinal Pills. The lowest were Heaven Rank, and the highest were even Saint Rank Top-Grade Medicinal Pills!

Clearly, it was impossible for them to have been freshly refined; they included many of Han Li's own Medicinal Pills.

Seeing how generous this kid Han Li was, Zhou Chen didn't beat around the bush and directly took out the World Tree Seed from his storage ring, solemnly handing it to Han Li.

"Brother Han, this is for you."

Han Li was stunned, staring blankly at that familiar seed.

Wasn't this the very seed from the treasury earlier today that he had been tempted by but ultimately yielded to Zhou Chen?

"Brother Zhou, you're…"

Han Li hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no! This is the treasure you chose from the treasury. How can I take it? Besides, this shouldn't be an ordinary item, right?"

"Brother Han has a good eye."

Zhou Chen shook his head, his expression becoming more serious. "But Brother Han, listen to me first. I have a small Opportunity to give you."

He took a deep breath and said slowly, "This seed is called the World Tree Seed."

"World Tree Seed?"

Han Li repeated with confusion.

"Correct. This is an ancient divine object, a seed rumored to have fallen from the World Tree, containing the chance for enlightenment. Whoever obtains it can use it to lay a supreme Dao Foundation, almost certainly becoming an Emperor, or even achieving Immortal Ascension."

Boom!

These words exploded like thunder in Han Li's mind.

World Tree Seed! Ancient divine object! Chance for enlightenment! Certainty of becoming an Emperor!… Immortal Ascension?!

He recognized every word, but every single one of them heavily shook his heart.

What on earth?!

Are you sure I'm not dreaming?

The Tianxuan Continent hasn't produced an immortal for a million years, right?!

You f*cking call this a 'small' Opportunity?!

Are you sure this isn't a massive amount of Opportunity?

Han Li's brain short-circuited; he stood frozen on the spot, his eyes nearly bulging out.

"This… such a precious thing…"

Han Li's voice was trembling: "Big Brother Zhou, why are you giving this to me?"

Zhou Chen looked at him, his eyes very sincere: "Because I can sense that this World Tree Seed has an inexplicable fate with you. Perhaps it's your Cultivation Technique, or perhaps your Physique; in any case, it will play a greater role in your hands."

If Han Li knew that this was originally his Opportunity, he would definitely exclaim, 'Holy sh*t, invincible!'

Perhaps Zhou Chen really could prove that if a person is shameless enough, they can truly be invincible under heaven.
