Chapter 2338 Assessment


    "Is that so? I don''t see much difference."


    Fang Heng looked at Pavao, who seemed reluctant to continue bringing out branches of the sacred Tree, appearing unenthusiastic.


    They had agreed toe for a trade, but it seemed it ended up being fruitless.


    However, he could not leave empty-handed this time. He had to get something beneficial from them.


    If practical benefits weren''t avable, he could at least gather some intelligence, right?


    Cutting to the chase, Fang Heng turned to Pavao and asked, "Since we''re talking about cooperation, I have a few questions I''m curious about and would like answers from you."


    "What questions?"


    "What''s the deal with pollution?"


    Pavao looked puzzled, casting several nces at Fang Heng.


    He felt that Fang Heng should understand pollution better than he did.


    "The specifics of how it happened, I don''t know much about. I only know that during that period, there was a fierce war among the tree spirit tribe. Suddenly, monsters appeared, posing a great threat to our tree spirit tribe''s existence. In that holy war, the entire tree spirit tribe paid a great price to seal the monsters again."


    Listening to Pavao''s ount, Fang Heng pondered silently.


    At first nce, it gave him the feeling that some kind of demonic seed identally entered the World of Forests, and was ultimatelypletely sealed by the ancient sacred trees of the tree spirit tribe?


    "What about the ritual for cultivating the tribe''s sacred trees?" Fang Heng continued, "I heard that your tree spirit tribe will determine the next leader through the cultivation ritual of the sacred trees. When will this cultivation battle take ce?"


    "Specifically, there is no set time for the cultivation battle," Pavao shook his head, exining, "Once a tribe confirms they are capable of passing the test left by the primogenitor sacred tree, they can propose to the previous leader tribe to enter the Sacred Realm of Gods. If the sapling cultivated passes the test of the ancestor sacred tree, it can be considered as having won the battle of sacred tree cultivation battle."


    Fang Heng squinted his eyes.


    The Sacred Realm of Gods?


    It seemed like a ce he had never heard of before.


    Fang Heng asked, "Let me guess, the key to the entrance to the Sacred Realm of Gods is guarded by the soul tribe?"


    "No, there''s no key. The Sacred Realm of Gods is temporarily guarded by the Soul tribe. The soul tribe is the previous leader and bears the mission of guarding the Sacred Realm of Gods."


    In that case...


    It seemed that forcibly entering wouldn''t be difficult?


    Fang Heng pressed on, "Then how do you determine when the sacred tree has cultivated to a certain level?"


    "There are no specific criteria for judgment; it mostly relies on the experience of each tribe. If the primogenitor sacred tree fails to approve the trial, the sapling will remain weakened for a long time. Therefore, withoutplete certainty, no one will easily enter the Sacred Realm of Gods."


    As soon as the words fell, a game hint quickly appeared on Fang Heng''s retina.


    [Hint: The yer has triggered a special mission-Assessment of the tree spirit tribe in the Sacred Realm of the Gods.]


    Mission name: Assessment of the tree spirit tribe in the Sacred Realm of the Gods.


    Mission description: From Elder Pavao of the Root tribe, you have learned some details about the cultivation battle of the sacred trees. Perhaps you can attempt the assessment through the following mission.


    Mission requirements: If you believe that the sacred tree of the vampires has reached a certain level of cultivation, proceed to the Sacred Realm of the Gods to undergo the assessment left by the ancestors of the tree spirit tribe.


    Mission reward: Follow-up mission.


    Fang Heng''s heart skipped a beat as he looked at the mission notification.


    There it was!


    Mission triggered!


    Winning the cultivation battle of the sacred tree was a significant part of the hidden main storyline mission.


    Earlier, he was pondering how to aplish it, but now there was a mission hint.


    Fang Heng thought about it for a moment.


    For the time being, Abe Akaya could not achieve a qualitative improvement.


    Why not just go try the Sacred Realm of Gods right now?!


    If it did not work out, so be it. At worst, Abe Akaya would enter a period of weakness for a while!


    He could afford to wait.


    Anyway, five dayster, when the pursuers from the Holy Court caught up, if he couldn''tplete the main storyline mission, Abe Akaya would have to flee. That would give him enough time to recuperate.


    Fang Heng raised his head and asked, "Where''s the entrance to the Sacred Realm of Gods?"


    "In the ''Inner World''," Pavao replied. "They say the Sacred Realm of Gods has been reduced to ruins. The Soul tribe upied and rebuilt it as soon as they entered the ''Inner World''. We three major ns have only surveyed the periphery. None of us have ventured inside."


    Fang Heng stroked his chin and nced at Pavao.


    Caught off guard by Fang Heng''s suspicious gaze, Pavao couldn''t help asking, "What are you up to?"


    "I''m quite interested in what''s inside. Since we have some free time now, care to join me for a look inside?" Fang Heng proposed.


    "Why? What''s so interesting about that ce?" Pavao asked skeptically.


    "Who knows, maybe there''s something useful left behind in the Sacred Realm of Gods," Fang Heng replied.


    "Are you out of your mind?" Pavao''s initial reaction was that Fang Heng had lost it.


    To think he wanted to venture into the Sacred Realm of Gods guarded by the Soul tribe?


    Was that ce even essible? Did Fang Heng think it was a zoo for sightseeing?


    But then again...


    Why not give it a try?


    "Anyway, the Sacred Realm of Gods is guarded by the soul tribe. If we run into trouble halfway, they''ll probably have a headache dealing with it, won''t they?" Fang Heng reasoned.


    "Moreover, who knows, we might actually find something good there."


    In Pavao''s subconscious, he didn''t think Fang Heng would pose a significant threat to the Sacred Realm of Gods.


    Seeing Pavao''s changing expression, Fang Heng felt he had persuaded him. He licked his lips lightly and said, "So, what do you think? Now''s a good opportunity. Why not take me over to take a look?"


    "Now?"


    "My subordinates are currently dealing with the Wood tribe and the Leaf tribe. I believe the soul tribe will lend a hand, and now is the perfect time for them to be distracted," Fang Heng exined, ncing at Pavao with a hint of provocation. "What do you say? Or are you backing down?"


    "I''m just concerned about the uncontroble risks," Pavao nodded. "Personally, I have no objections, but I''ll need to report to the Great Elder."


    Fang Heng gestured casually with his hand and turned towards the edge of the grove.


    "You have five minutes. I''ll wait outside."


    Once Fang Heng had departed, Pavao gathered his hands in front of him, forming an imprint, and activated a remotemunication mirror.


    "Great Elder."


    Watching the image of the Great Elder of the Root tribe in themunication mirror, Pavao respectfully nodded and briefly recounted his conversation with Fang Heng. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    After hearing Pavao''s report, the Great Elder of the Root tribe stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and nodded. "Indeed, I just received word that there''s arge-scale conflict between the Federation and the Wood tribe and Leaf tribe. If they encounter trouble, the Soul tribe will likely provide reinforcement."


    "In that case, Great Elder, regarding Fang Heng''s n..."


    "You can give it a try. Follow him and see what he intends to do. If necessary, you can offer him some assistance. But remember, this matter must be kept hidden. We must not expose ourselves."


    "Yes! I understand, Great Elder."


    After closing themunication, Pavao left the depths of the forest and joined Fang Heng, who was waiting outside.


    Fang Heng turned to him and asked, "How did it go? Did you report it? Can we proceed?"


    "The Great Elder has agreed, but I cannot reveal my identity openly."


    "Of course, I understand."
