As everyone continued their ascent, the houses scattered around them became fewer, and the branches and vines sparser, yet the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi of the surroundings remained incredibly dense.

Everyone followed a winding path upwards, climbing along the tree vines and branches. They rarely encountered members of the Divine Tree Clan, but they could occasionally sense waves of mana fluctuations from beneath some shaded areas, seemingly indications of someone cultivating.

It was only when they halted their steps that Shen Luo realized they had reached the highest point of the forest.

Here, entwined vines formed a platform about a dozen feet in radius, and at the center of the platform stood a small sapling, about three to four feet high, rising into high altitude.

Shen Luo walked to the edge of the platform and looked out into the distance, seeing a vast and unrestricted landscape touched by the lofty winds from the sky.

Only then did he realize that they were actually hundreds of feet above the ground. He couldn't help but exclaim, “It's incredible how this dense forest can grow so magnificently and vigorously under our feet?”

At his words, Wu Man'er and the others paused briefly, then burst into laughter.

“Big brother, you're mistaken. What's under our feet is not a dense forest but a single tree,” Yun Xiaonu said, her courage growing now that she had returned to her clan, even taking the initiative to correct him.

“A single tree?” Shen Luo was astonished upon hearing her words.

He didn't quite understand what Yun Xiaonu meant at first, but Wu Man'er explained:

“Big Brother Shen, what you see below with branches and vines are all part of one tree. The entire area we walked through, everything you saw, is also part of a single tree.”

“A forest from a single tree, could it be that we are currently on the Sacred Tree of the Divine Tree Clan?” Shen Luo said in surprise.

Wu Man'er nodded.

“Our Divine Tree Clan has been living and thriving upon the Sacred Tree for generations,” Wu Kuihu added.

After saying this, he led everyone to the center of the platform, to the protruding sapling.

Upon nearing it, Shen Luo felt a surge of rich vitality emanating from the sapling. Though it was merely a tree, the life force it contained was broader and deeper than an entire forest.

Shen Luo's gaze landed on the sapling, his eyes flashing briefly as he suddenly felt the world around him shift. He was surrounded by dense forests in every direction, with the color of fresh greenery filling his vision.

It seemed as though a force within him was moving on its own, a green light radiating from his Dantian, slowly expanding into a green halo that enveloped his entire being.

At the same time, strands of spiritual energy, visible to the naked eye and resembling plant essences, gathered from around him, permeating into his body.

Enveloped by this marvelous sensation, Shen Luo momentarily forgot where he was.

The others watching the changes occurring to him, however, had their faces change color.

“Man'er, you are indeed bold. How dare you teach the Mysterious Technique Divine Wood Grace of our Divine Tree Clan to an outsider?” Elder Yun Zhongyue's expression hardened, and he immediately rebuked her sharply.

Wu Man'er was also surprised, completely at a loss as to what had caused this, looking at Shen Luo in astonishment and forgetting to respond.

Man Tianxing and Yun Xiaonu had never seen Elder Yun so furious and naturally didn't dare to speak.

Wu Kuihu's brow furrowed tightly as he glanced back and forth between Wu Man'er and Shen Luo, making calculations in his mind.

Based on his understanding of his own disciple, Wu Man'er's reaction indicated that the Divine Wood Grace Shen Luo was experiencing had not been bestowed by her.

With this, he felt relieved.

But moments later, the green halo that surrounded Shen Luo gradually disappeared, and the spiritual energy of the plants and trees around them no longer converged towards him.

The green light in Shen Luo's eyes dissipated, and his gaze returned to normal.

The surroundings suddenly became very quiet, and he turned his head to look at the others, only to see that Wu Man'er and the rest were all staring at him as well. Among them, Elder Yun's expression was particularly hostile, as if she wanted to devour him.

“What, what's wrong…” Shen Luo thought he might have done something disrespectful while lost in thought and anxiously asked.

Just as Yun Zhongyue was about to speak, Wu Kuihu reached out and stopped her.

“Where did you learn the Mysterious Technique Divine Wood Grace that you practiced?” Wu Kuihu asked in an even tone.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo put two and two together, understanding it in his heart.

Most likely, he had unwittingly drawn upon the Divine Tree and used the Divine Wood Grace Technique.

“Junior does not dare to deceive; it was bestowed by Yuan Tiangang, the Great Tang State Master,” Shen Luo hesitated for a moment but then responded truthfully.

Hearing this answer, Wu Kuihu seemed somewhat surprised, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he was silent for a long time.

“Audacious boy, do you think you can hide behind the Great Tang Dynasty Government's authority by waving its flag? How could the Great Tang State Master know our Divine Tree Clan's secret technique? Tell the truth!” Yun Zhongyue burst out angrily.

“The State Master only said it was a tradition of his mentor's lineage, and I truly don't know the details,” Shen Luo replied helplessly.

“Still spewing nonsense,” Yun Zhongyue was furious. Her True Immortal cultivation released an overwhelming aura that immediately pressed down on Shen Luo.

At this moment, not just Shen Luo but also Wu Man'er and the others were frightened.

“Granny Yun…” Wu Man'er called out anxiously.

However, the old woman was not recognizing anyone at this point; she already had a poor impression of Shen Luo because of the issue with the Demonic Qi, and now she was even more convinced that he had come to the Divine Tree Clan with ill intentions.

Wu Kuihu's expression remained calm, neither intervening to stop the confrontation nor voicing agreement.

He was just quietly watching.

With no other choice, Shen Luo had to run the Huangting Technique, resisting with all his might, but he was still being steadily pushed back.

At the same time, the Chiyou's Demonic Qi in his Dantian was disturbed and started to become restless.

“Every word I've spoken is true, Elder, please restrain your force. Otherwise, the Demonic Qi within me will backlash again. If the Demonic Qi leaks out, it might harm the Divine Tree, which would be a great loss,” Shen Luo hurriedly shouted.

“Hmph! How dare you threaten me? I will exterminate you right here and now to see how many waves your Demonic Qi can stir up?” Yun Zhongyue's eyes hardened, and she raised her hand, ready to strike at Shen Luo.

Under Shen Luo's feet, the Moonlight scattered, and he was ready to sidestep with the Slanting Moon Steps and then use an Escape Technique to flee.

“Stop, both of you.”

Just then, Wu Kuihu's voice finally rang out.

Yun Zhongyue hesitated for a moment but stopped her attack. However, she locked all her Qi on Shen Luo, ready to strike like thunder and exterminate him at the slightest sign of movement.

Shen Luo looked terrible, partly because the Demonic Qi inside him was itching to move, forcing him to split his focus to suppress it, and partly because he had just been resisting an attack from a True Immortal cultivator who was intent on killing him, a pressure that was no small feat.

“You said that you learned the Divine Wood Grace from Yuan Tiangang?” Wu Kuihu looked at Shen Luo and asked again.

Shen Luo didn't say anything but just nodded his head.

“Still not telling the truth?” Yun Zhongyue became angry once more.

“Elder Yun, please be patient. What he says is not entirely impossible,” Wu Kuihu reached out and gently pressed down in the air a few times.

At these words, Yun Zhongyue also showed an expression full of incredulity.
