The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2949 World Tree and Leaf Continent
The tree god's decisive departure foreshadowed Zheng Tuo's victory.

Zheng Tuo raised his hand and waved it back, summoning back his magical artifact.

He turned his head and looked at the various old fogies who were secretly watching the battle.

As the battle ended, the old-timers all turned and left.

The tree spirit's decision to leave was wise.

If they continue fighting, they will inevitably reveal more of their own methods.

Once their methods are exposed, they will inevitably be remembered by the old-timers, who will then target them secretly.

It's impossible to say when a battle will break out between the two sides, and they could suffer heavy losses.

and so.

Seeing so many ancient beings watching, the Tree God chose to leave, which shows his extreme caution.

of course.

And most importantly, even if the Tree God defeats Zheng Tuo, he will likely be seriously injured. Wouldn't that allow the old antique in the shadows to reap the benefits?

Taking all factors into consideration, the Tree God chose to leave, and Zheng Tuo did not chase after it.

The battle ended there, and Zheng Tuo gained a new assessment of his own strength.

The combined power of the five immortal swords, the Five Elements Immortal Sword, is immense. If the Tree God hadn't been powerful enough, that single strike would have been enough to kill him instantly.

Lost in thought, he did not return to the Flower Goddess World, but instead looked around.

This place has been destroyed by his battle with the tree god, and it looks full of traces of the battle.

Now that he is in the Forest of Burial Immortals, he can easily find a place with abundant wood attribute power and use it to absorb wood attribute power to strengthen his Five Elements Great World.

However, he knew nothing about the Forest of Burial Immortals, so he simply summoned Granny Hua, who knew the Forest of Burial Immortals very well.

Granny Flower's true form is a dandelion, and because of her very special methods, she possesses extremely strong investigative abilities.

The Flower Goddess then left it in the Forest of Burial Immortals for reconnaissance purposes.

"Senior Godslayer, if you ask where the God of Burying Immortals has the most abundant wood-attribute power, it should only be where the World Tree is located."

"The World Tree!"

Zheng Tuo had heard of the World Tree, but had never seen it.

They propelled the flying boat forward, taking Granny Flower to the World Tree.

On the road.

He patiently asked Granny Hua for the information he needed.

According to Granny Flower, the World Tree is located in the center of the entire Forest of Burial Immortals.

The Forest of Burial Immortals exists because of the existence of the World Tree.

The World Tree is enormous, each leaf of which is a continent in itself, and it stands incredibly tall.

It is said that no one has ever been able to reach the top of the World Tree, not even those who have broken through the barriers to the ninth level.

With such curiosity, Zheng Tuo set off with high expectations.

however.

They had just set off when Zheng Tuo saw a wall appear ahead.

correct.

A wall, a wall that blocks the road ahead.

“That’s the trunk of the World Tree,” Granny Flower explained.

"what!"

Zheng Tuo stared in disbelief at the scene in the distance.

He couldn't believe that what he was seeing was the trunk of the World Tree, because as far as he could see, there really was a wall, a colossal wall that blocked out the entire world in front of him.

Good guy.

Just how big is this World Tree?

With this mindset, he continued on his way.

Despite his cultivation level as a Breaker, it took him several months to finally arrive at the World Tree.

The World Tree, which looked so close, took him an incredibly long time to get close. It has to be said, the World Tree is truly enormous.

Standing under the World Tree.

Zheng Tuo suddenly felt a powerful force descend upon him.

Even though he had the cultivation level of a Breakthrough, he still felt the pressure increase exponentially.

Let's go up and take a look.

Zheng Tuo's figure flickered, as he attempted to climb the World Tree.

“Senior Godslayer,” Granny Hua said, “this old woman’s strength is limited, and I truly cannot follow in your footsteps.”

Granny Hua's strength was only at the half-step Breaker level, making it impossible for her to ascend even a fraction of the World Tree.

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo did not insist, and asked Granny Hua to wait for him under the tree, while he climbed the World Tree alone.

brush!
He landed on the World Tree, feeling as small as an ant, and clearly sensed its immense size.

At first, he flew using his power, trying to climb to the top as quickly as possible, but gradually he found himself unable to concentrate and could only land on one of the paths of the World Tree.

This road is not fast; it can only accommodate two people walking side by side.

So this road exists entirely because it was opened up by the Wallbreakers.

Because many wallbreakers like him had tried to climb the World Tree, but none of them could continue climbing by flying. They could only land on the trunk of the World Tree, then carve out a path to walk on and slowly move forward.

That's his current situation.

Stepping onto the hard tree trunk path, one step at a time, under immense pressure, we strolled and climbed the Tree of the World.

Soon, he arrived at his first resting place.

It was a leaf, but in reality, it was a continent as vast as the Five Elements Continent.

On this leaf-covered continent, all sorts of creatures live, seemingly having lived here for a long time and completely accustomed to the immense pressure.

Actually.

There are many races of beings living here, and they are all practitioners who have come here.

Those cultivators who are able to set foot in this place are all among the strongest.

Zheng Tuo looked around and realized that this was not his final destination.

Without stopping, they continued climbing the Tree of the World.

As he continued to climb the World Tree, the pressure around him increased, and at the same time, the concentration of spiritual energy around him also increased.

Zheng Tuo was overjoyed.

The Forest of Burial Immortals already had an extremely high concentration of spiritual energy, but unexpectedly, the World Tree had an even higher concentration.

If we continue climbing the World Tree as we are now, the concentration of spiritual energy will likely increase several times over.

But as the surrounding pressure continued to increase, he began to struggle.

To know.

He is now in his true form, which is the innate Five Elements Immortal Body.

In a sense, he is now a being born naturally.

Climbing the World Tree as a naturally born being, I actually felt immense pressure here.

No wonder it is said that no one can reach the top of the World Tree. I have only been climbing for a short time and I am already under tremendous pressure. And the World Tree has no end in sight.

With something on his mind, he continued climbing, trying to see how high he could reach.

As he continued to climb, and as the surrounding pressure increased, he soon arrived at the second, second-layered leaf continent.

Compared to the first layer of leaf-covered continent, the second layer of leaf-covered continent was completely silent.

Upon closer inspection, several tall temples can be seen on the second layer of leaf-covered continent.

That's right. There are several towering temples here, devouring the spiritual energy of the Leaf Continent.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Tuo understood that these towering temples were all built by the Wall Breakers.

Just like the temples we saw in the underground world of Wanbao Judi.

Many wallbreakers build such temples to absorb the same spiritual energy as themselves, thereby helping their world level up.

It is likely that the temples in this second layer of the leaf world were all left behind by powerful beings who had broken through to the first level of the barrier.

He attempted to set foot in this place, to find a suitable location to build his own temple, and thereby absorb the power of this place to bless the Five Elements Great World.

But in the end, they found that all the good places had already been occupied, and even if temples were built in the remaining bad places, they could not absorb much wood-attribute power.

After searching for a while, I finally had to give up for the time being.

Since there were no good places left for him, and he couldn't risk trouble by demolishing other people's temples, he decided to continue climbing the World Tree, trying to see if there were any good places on the third layer of the tree.

however.

This climb was clearly exceptionally difficult.

Because the path ahead requires a second-level Breakthrough Realm expert to climb, and he is only a first-level Breakthrough Realm expert, this climb is extremely difficult for him.

Fortunately, he was strong enough, and through persistent climbing, he finally reached the third layer of the Leaf Continent.

Looking up, just like the leaf-covered continent on the second level, there were temples here, and quite a lot of them.

The Forest of Burial Immortals truly lives up to its reputation as a gathering place for those who break through barriers, as there are so many beings at the second level of the barrier-breaking realm.

He followed his previous method, searching for good locations to build temples, but the results were still unsatisfactory.

Many good places have been occupied, and the temples here are very large; the entire Third Leaf Continent is full of other people's temples.

If I were to build my own temple here, I would probably offend some people.

With this in mind, he had no choice but to give up again and continue climbing the World Tree.

He wanted to see how high his limits were before deciding on which layer of the leaf continent to build his temple.

The path to continue climbing was extremely difficult, because in theory only those at the third level of the Breakthrough Realm could climb this section, but he was only at the first level of the Breakthrough Realm. The pressure he faced in continuing to climb was terrifying.

However, Zheng Tuo maintained a calm attitude towards this.

He activated his innate wood-attribute Dao patterns to envelop himself, thereby reducing his pressure.

Don't tell me.

With the protection of the innate wood-attribute Dao patterns, he climbed up without expending much effort and stepped onto the fourth layer of the leaf continent.

The fourth layer of the leaf continent originally belonged to the third level of the Breaker Realm. Upon closer inspection, there were indeed far fewer temples, but the existing temples had become exceptionally large.

obviously.

The larger the temple, the more power it absorbs.

Following his previous methods, he actually found some decent places.

If a temple is built here, although it will not be as large as other temples, it will still be able to absorb a lot of wood-attribute power.

Not bad.

He made a note of the situation here for the time being, and then continued to climb the World Tree.

In his view, with the protection of his innate wood-attribute Dao patterns, he might be able to continue climbing.

really.

The unique nature of his innate wood-attribute Dao patterns allowed him to continue climbing the World Tree without experiencing significant pressure.

In this way, he spent a long time before finally arriving at the fifth layer of the Leaf Continent.

There are very few temples left on the fifth layer of the leaf continent; after checking, there are only four.

Four enormous temples, resembling palaces, were thus placed on the fifth layer of the leaf-covered continent.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Tuo once again set foot on it using the same method as before, searching for a place where he could build a temple.

Upon searching, they indeed found some good places to build temples.

He is currently only at the first level of the Breaker realm, while this place requires the fourth level of the Breaker realm to descend.

If a temple were built here, it would surely help one to cultivate oneself quickly.

With this in mind, he noted down the location of the place, planning to build temples in these locations if he were unable to climb the World Tree again.

He had such plans in mind.

suddenly!

A dangerous aura is approaching.

He turned his head abruptly and saw someone standing not far from him.

Why would there be someone here? Could they be the guardians of other temples?

"This fellow Daoist looks unfamiliar!" The speaker appeared somewhat familiar.

Zheng Tuo suddenly had a thought!
not good!

Without any hesitation, he turned and fled the place.

The man was momentarily stunned when he saw Zheng Tuo fleeing the place, then turned around and chased after Zheng Tuo.

Fortunately, Zheng Tuo was fast enough that he reached the climbing path in just a few leaps.

Without saying a word, he took off running.

He ran for several days, and only when he saw that no one was chasing him did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He was so nervous because the man looked exactly like the tree god.

correct.

Judging from both his aura and appearance, the person he spoke to on the fifth floor should be the guardian left behind by the tree god.

The other party probably doesn't know that I had a fight with the tree god. If they did know, they would definitely attack directly without even asking me.

so close!

He was extremely vigilant.

If the other party had targeted me at that time, the consequences would have been troublesome.

Fortunately, the other party had an information gap and didn't know who he was.

Still shaken, he looked down at the fifth floor.

The tree god stood in front of his temple and looked over.

From the other person's expression, it was clear that the Tree God already knew that the relationship between the two was not harmonious.

The Tree God is really powerful; he was able to build his own temple on the fifth level of the Leaf Continent.

The fifth layer of the leaf continent represents the strength of a fourth-level wallbreaker.

He had fought with the Tree God, whose strength could not possibly reach the fourth level of the Wallbreaker realm; at most, it could only be at the end of the third level of the Wallbreaker realm.

It seems that whether a powerful person on the Leaf Continent can build a temple is not determined by absolute strength.

Because of the blessing of the innate wood attribute Dao pattern, he was able to travel to the sixth layer of the Leaf Continent.

This time he learned his lesson.

Even though there were only two enormous temples on the sixth layer of the leaf continent, he did not set foot on them, because he clearly understood how dangerous they were.

After observing for a while, he continued climbing the World Tree.

As he continued climbing, two figures opened their eyes in two temples on the sixth layer of the leaf continent.

They watched Zheng Tuo leave the sixth layer of the leaf continent with wary eyes until he completely disappeared.

Zheng Tuo was unaware that he was being secretly observed. He simply continued to climb the World Tree, hoping to climb higher and higher until he reached his limit.

at last.

He reached his limit when he arrived at the seventh layer of the Leaf Continent.

He knew he couldn't climb any further; if he did, the pressure would crush him.

Looking up at the seventh layer of the leaf continent, he immediately froze on the spot.
