After hearing what the black dragon said, Zheng Sheng fell silent for a moment.

In fact, he felt the omnipresent surveillance from the moment he first entered the Divine Tree Forest. Now it seems that he was already being watched by the Divine Tree the moment he entered the forest.

It was just that the divine tree had not fully awakened at that time, so it did not attack me.

Later, with the help of Grandpa Sheep, he escaped the forest using the Space Cube. However, he never expected that the Divine Tree would suddenly rise up like a madman and chase after him at all costs, trapping him in its tree realm again.

Therefore, from the moment he stepped into the Sacred Tree Forest, he had already become the Sacred Tree's prey.

"What is this powerful medicine?" Zheng Sheng asked, a sense of unease creeping into his heart. "And why me?"

"Because your physical body is strong and pure enough!" The black dragon looked at Zheng Sheng, and the state of Zheng Sheng when he rushed into the Heavenly Kingdom quickly appeared in his mind.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone develop their physical body to such an extent without relying on strange powers!

This is simply unbelievable!

"You must have cultivated a lot of ancient body-refining techniques, right?"

Zheng Sheng nodded, making no attempt to hide anything.

"Then that's it!"

"Ancient inheritances in internal cultivation, once mastered, can grant the power to deal with strange entities. If combined with a special sequence to awaken bloodlines, it can further develop the body to its limit, constantly breaking through the shackles of the body's upper limit, and even possessing the powerful strength to kill strange entities of the same level on its own."

"With your talent, in ancient times, you would be a great being who had achieved physical immortality, capable of suppressing demons and monsters!"

"But times have changed."

The black dragon shook its enormous head, and the rune chains on its body rattled loudly.

"Your path of physical ascension to sainthood is outdated; it can only serve as a bizarre and dangerous elixir now!"

"Why?" Zheng Sheng still didn't understand. "As long as you cultivate a lot of ancient body-refining techniques, your physical body can become stronger and stronger, and you'll be more effective against strange entities. Why was it eliminated?"

The black dragon, its eyes grave, slowly said:

"Because the Nightmare Land has begun to fully invade reality; this is a bizarre era!"

"A bizarre era?"

"Yes! This is a strange era!" the black dragon continued, "Practicing numerous ancient body-refining techniques can indeed continuously strengthen the physical body, granting one the power to counteract the strange!"

"However, as you continue to cultivate ancient body-refining techniques, your physical body will become increasingly terrifying, your blood and qi will become increasingly refined, and your humanity will undergo a qualitative change."

"In the eyes of those powerful and eerie beings, you are now like a ginseng spirit that can run; one bite will greatly increase your power, two bites will allow you to evolve and break through to a higher level—you are the most potent tonic!"

"Especially for the supernatural beings that have grown to their limit and need to advance, in addition to devouring a large number of their own kind to enter their own supernatural realm, they also need a large number of humans to neutralize the resentment of other supernatural beings."

"A rare and powerful medicine like yours is simply the perfect fusion agent!"

The black dragon continued:

"And this is the land of nightmares. As you can see, there are powerful monsters everywhere, and their strength is amplified in this place."

"Cultivating ancient body-refining techniques can indeed help fight against the supernatural, but there are far too many supernatural beings in this world. How many can you possibly kill?"

"Human strength has its limits!"

After listening to the black dragon's words, Zheng Sheng roughly understood, and his expression became even more unpleasant.

Simply put, because he has been constantly strengthening his physical body, he is now like a thousand-year-old ginseng that can run, in the eyes of the supernatural.

Not only can eating it greatly increase your strength, it can even help you break through bottleneck levels and go even further!

In fact, Wang Lu had already reminded him before, urging him to quickly find a way to hide his human scent.

The black dragon's massive head leaned closer again and suddenly said:

"The path you are taking in your spiritual practice is wrong."

"While extensive practice of ancient body-refining techniques can grant you powerful abilities to combat the strange, it will also place you in increasingly dangerous situations."

"To be honest, I don't know how you've survived in the Nightmare Lands for so long."

"In your condition, even if you stay on the Survival Highway, you won't survive for more than three months."

Zheng Sheng didn't speak. His current strength was entirely due to his own hard work and skill point allocation.

However, it was precisely because of the extra points that his growth rate was too fast, and he hadn't even figured out the cultivation methods of this world.

If what the Black Dragon said is true, then the human powerhouses in the Nightmare Land who have survived to this day could absolutely not have used the same growth path as me.

They must have other ways to become stronger.

"I can help you!"

Seeing that the time was right, the black dragon suddenly spoke.

"Your cultivation method is wrong!"

"I have a special advancement method here that can not only grant you a bizarre immortality, but also make your physical body even stronger!"

"And it can also dilute your humanity, greatly reducing the sense that eeriness is about you."

"I can teach you!"

Upon hearing the Black Dragon's last few words, Zheng Sheng, who had been deep in thought, suddenly realized what was happening and became wary.

"So all that talk was for this purpose?"

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. We've just met, why would you be so kind as to teach me?"

Seeing Zheng Sheng's wary expression, Black Dragon made no attempt to hide his intentions and directly stated his conditions.

"You're right. There's no such thing as a free lunch. I certainly won't teach you such a precious advancement method for nothing."

"I have only one condition!"

The black dragon's enormous head slowly swam over, its two huge vertical pupils staring at Zheng Sheng.

"You're very strong! I've never seen a human as special and strong as you before."

"If you agree to cooperate with me and escape the Heavenly Kingdom of the Divine Tree, I will gladly offer you the correct method for advancement!"


"I am trapped in heaven, and you are trapped in heaven too. We are in the same situation now."

"If we really wait for the golden apple to ripen, we will both surely die and become nutrients for its growth."

"So, we're all in the same boat now."

"However, I have a special, one-time use, third-tier forbidden artifact that can temporarily allow you to leave Heaven and enter the third layer of the world where the Divine Tree is located."

"Our physical bodies are still there."

"Only if you can break the divine tree's restrictions on our physical bodies will we have even a sliver of hope of escaping Heaven!"

Zheng Sheng frowned after hearing what the black dragon said.

Although the black dragon spoke simply, he instinctively felt that this mission must be extremely dangerous!

"Why do you want me to go?"

Zheng Sheng looked at the black dragon in front of him.

"The forbidden artifact isn't in your hands, so why don't you go get it yourself?"
