The scammer, Little Zhu Yan, once again dashed away in a puff of smoke, heading towards the deepest part of the "Original Restricted Zone," while Ye Tianchen stood not far away, gazing at an enormous tree. It was at this moment that he realized this seemed to not be a tree at all, but rather a tall vine-like plant. Just because it was so gigantic and tree-like, it fooled him into thinking it was indeed a tree.

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

A multitude of explosive sounds erupted as this immense vine-like plant, shockingly, began to move, as if it had grown legs. Yet its legs were naturally not human feet; rather, they were thick roots that served as footholds, enabling it to stand up. Its entire vine body spread out continuously, slashing in every direction, piercing through the sky. Ye Tianchen was astounded, with his mouth agape - if he were struck by this even once, his physical body power likely wouldn't withstand it. The sheer strength of this vine-like plant was too formidable; what on earth could it be?

Whoosh!

Several vines lashed toward Ye Tianchen. He immediately swung a fist at these tough vines, but unfortunately, his punch landed without causing the tiniest ripple, leaving him more alarmed. Was the root and stem of this "tree" truly this formidable?

Ye Tianchen quickly retreated, dodging the assault of these vines. At that very moment, the scammer Little Zhu Yan's Divine Thought transmitted into his mind.

"What are you still standing there for, you fool? Hurry up and get moving; this is a Demon Tree that has already gained Spiritual Wisdom! Luckily, it's still in a half-asleep state. Otherwise, we'd already be toast. Even if my father were alive, he wouldn't underestimate this!" Little Zhu Yan scolded fiercely.

Ye Tianchen was startled. Upon hearing this scammer's words, he noticed the scammer fleeing faster than a rabbit, and thus he too turned around, employing his full power of the "Divine Movement Skill," and escaped in the direction where the scammer ran. Even the Ancient War Emperor deemed it necessary to respect this Demon Tree, and at his current Cultivation Realm, he probably couldn't shake it. Considering the situation with this Demon Tree, its roots and stems were already piercing the Void. If this continued, the entire "Original Restricted Zone" might soon be filled with the presence of this Demon Tree!

This time, Ye Tianchen and the scammer Little Zhu Yan dashed madly forward for over two hours before finally coming to a stop. The vine of that Demon Tree had not pursued them, truly terrifying. Imagine, such a Demon Tree with roots extending hundreds of miles, continuously hunting them down; it was absolutely horrifying!

"Damn, that was close, really close. Thankfully the Demon Tree was asleep; otherwise, we would have been dead!" Little Zhu Yan plopped to the ground, gasping for air heavily.

"Scammer, what exactly is that Demon Tree? How can it be so terrifying? Is it a Demon Beast?" Ye Tianchen couldn't help but plop to the ground, asking.

Little Zhu Yan, after glancing back and confirming with its Eyes of Golden Flame that the Demon Tree hadn't pursued them, took a sigh of relief, speaking as if granted amnesty: "Damn, you're really unlucky, encountering countless dangerous creatures along the way. I'm really contemplating whether I should accompany you. Your luck is terrible, always bumping into something dangerous!"

Bang!

Seeing Little Zhu Yan speaking so earnestly, Ye Tianchen gave a vicious punch to the scammer's head, grumbling, "If you hadn't insisted on dragging me in here, would I have encountered these dangers? I might have been leisurely outside the Original Restricted Zone by now!"

"You're ungrateful! If it weren't for me, would you have obtained the God-beating Whip like a rare treasure? Would you have found this old guy and kid? Yet you don't even thank me!" Little Zhu Yan retorted irritably.

"Thank you, my ass! Cut the crap. Spill the beans honestly. What exactly are you seeking? What sneaky plan are you plotting? Otherwise, we're going our separate ways!" Ye Tianchen glared harshly at Little Zhu Yan and stated.

Little Zhu Yan glanced at Ye Tianchen, then at a distance with a determined bite of the jaw. It seemed to have made a massive decision. It thought to itself, having finally scammed Ye Tianchen here, Heaven is truly aiding it. If it doesn't obtain that item, all its efforts would be in vain. It had been lurking within this "Original Restricted Zone" for nearly a century, waiting for such an opportunity. It indeed needed Ye Tianchen's help!

Upon thinking this, Little Zhu Yan glanced at Ye Tianchen and earnestly said, "We are sworn brothers. Along the way, although some unforeseeable things have happened, we are brothers who share life and death. We've come this far together, so I'll tell you, I'm searching for something that is likely deep within the Original Restricted Zone. I need to get it!"

"What is it?" Ye Tianchen asked casually.

"The sand inside the Divine Spring Pit!" Little Zhu Yan said while looking at Ye Tianchen.

"Hmm? The sand inside the Divine Spring Pit? I think you must be taking me for a fool. Why do you want the sand from the Divine Spring Pit? If you said you needed the Divine Spring Water from the pit, I might believe you. It's hard to hear a single truth from your mouth, we can't be brothers anymore, nor friends, let's just call it off!" As he spoke, Ye Tianchen prepared to stand up and leave, genuinely upset and angry, as it was rare to hear a true word from this swindler's mouth!

Seeing Ye Tianchen really about to leave, Little Zhu Yan couldn't help but sigh, still sitting where he was, muttering to himself, "As a member of the Zhu Yan clan, if my uncle finally passes away, the whole Zhu Yan clan would only have me left. My father, honored as the Ancient War Emperor, respected and praised by all clans, and me... since it sealed me, it left nothing for me, not even a single word. Is this its disappointment in me as its offspring?"

Hearing the voice of this swindler Zhu Yan, Ye Tianchen paused his steps, turned around to look at this swindler, only to see Little Zhu Yan sighing, then shaking his head with a smile, saying somewhat self-mockingly, "As an offspring of the Ancient War Emperor, I have yet to start truly cultivating the divine skills of the Zhu Yan clan. I don't know when I will be able to grow up. Does my father really have no confidence in me at all? Does it really think that I can do nothing when the second dark upheaval arrives? Is it so disappointed in me?"

Ye Tianchen sighed in frustration, really having no way to deal with this swindler, walked up to Little Zhu Yan and said, "Tell me, what is it? If I can help you get it, I will!"

"Really?" Little Zhu Yan asked in a daze.

"After all, we are sworn brothers. As brothers, naturally, we must support each other!" Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

Little Zhu Yan smiled slightly, then rather slyly said, "I knew you were a loyal person, never abandoning your sworn brother. Big brother has faith in you and admires you!"

"Talk about business, or I'm leaving!" Ye Tianchen gave a sideways glance at this swindler and said.

"Alright, I'll tell you everything this time, listen carefully..."

Then, Little Zhu Yan revealed some matters to Ye Tianchen. It turned out that this swindler had been wandering in this "Original Restricted Zone" for nearly a hundred years. When it broke the seal and woke up, it found itself on the edge of the "Original Restricted Zone," and there were some problems within its body, preventing it from cultivating the divine skills of the Zhu Yan clan. At that time, Little Zhu Yan discovered some information left by its father, and it needed to get the sand inside the Divine Spring Pit because the Divine Spring Pit was originally found by Little Zhu Yan's father, always kept by its father until the Ancient War Emperor was about to fight against the heavens, then it released the Divine Spring Pit, letting it go where it should go, where it wanted to go!

"So, inside the Divine Spring Pit, there's something your father left for you?" Ye Tianchen couldn't help but ask in astonishment. The item left by the Ancient War Emperor, how incredible it must be? He really wanted to see it!

"I don't know, it's just possible. The information I received is like this. No matter what, I must find the Divine Spring Pit. There's something left by my father there, something that originally belonged to my father, even if I could just take a look!" Little Zhu Yan said seriously.

Ye Tianchen paused and then spoke, "Alright, let's go find the Divine Spring Pit!"

Little Zhu Yan nodded, and together with Ye Tianchen, headed towards the deepest part of the "Original Restricted Zone." They both knew it wasn't very far anymore and might not be far at all. Perhaps the Divine Spring Pit was just ahead, and as for the Demon Tree behind them, whether it would chase after them or not, Ye Tianchen and Little Zhu Yan were not worried. The deepest part of this "Original Restricted Zone" was not a place anything dared to come across, and the vines of this Demon Tree seemed only able to chase them this far, or it would have reached them long ago!

All along the way, Ye Tianchen and Little Zhu Yan were exceptionally cautious. In the deepest part of this "Original Restricted Zone," even an awakened Demon Tree appeared. What else could be impossible? Ye Tianchen only now understood that this "Original Restricted Zone" had existed since the Ancient times and remained unchanged for eons, through the Late Ancient Times and the Ancient Early Stage, through that era when a dark upheaval and bloodshed swept the entire Martial Arts World, yet this "Original Restricted Zone" never changed, extraordinarily remarkable, with many secrets worth exploring and discovering.
