Chapter 1508: Chapter 841: Inside Divine Tree Island
With Liang Yuan’s suggestion, Lu Dayou and Liang Minru didn’t dare hesitate in the slightest.
The two of them immediately brought Liang Yuan along, heading to the underground spot where the Heart Core and Brain Core had been discovered to search for clues.
Lu Yuyan hurriedly said, “I’m going too.”
Hearing this, Lu Dayou frowned. “Yu Yan, the bloodline paths down below are complicated. You’d better not go.”
Lu Yuyan glanced at Liang Yuan. She knew seeing Brother Liang wasn’t easy, so of course she wanted to spend more time with Him.
Even a little while would do, so she still tried to argue: “With Brother Liang and you there, Dad, what danger could there be?”
“Besides, I’m also a Superpower User, and a Healing Superpower User at that. I can help you in critical moments.”
Lu Dayou kept a stern face, wanting to refuse.
Liang Minru, however, saw through Lu Yuyan’s thoughts. She looked at Lu Yuyan, then at Liang Yuan, and couldn’t help a faint smile appearing in her eyes.
She tugged Lu Dayou’s sleeve and said, “The island’s Heart Core and Brain Core are in our hands, and with Mr. Liang sitting in command, it should be fine.”
“But…”
“No buts. I know you’re thinking of Yu Yan’s good, but think about it: if she never goes through anything, how can she grow? Going down with us is a kind of training for her too.”
“And on this trip, with Mr. Liang around, there won’t be any danger.”
Lu Dayou hesitated for a moment, then looked at Liang Yuan.
There was a hint of asking for his opinion in his gaze.
Liang Yuan smiled. “Then let’s all go together.”
With Him speaking up, Lu Dayou finally agreed.
So the four of them, led by Lu Dayou, first went to the place where he’d discovered the Heart Core.
Lu Dayou arrived at the same pit as before, then took the others and flew down into the depths underground.
They quickly entered the interior of Divine Tree Island.
Liang Yuan asked, “Do you still remember the place you reached after climbing up Divine Tree Island along the vine last time?”
Hearing this, Lu Dayou frowned slightly. “I really don’t remember that.”
“To be honest, I’d wanted to find that spot again, to see if I could use that vine to return to the Flood World, but later I simply couldn’t find it.”
“Even after I refined the Heart Core, I still couldn’t find that place.”
“I don’t know whether the terrain changed, or if there’s some other reason.”
Liang Yuan immediately realized there was something wrong and frowned. “You already refined the Heart Core. In theory, there shouldn’t be any location on Divine Tree Island that you can’t sense. How could you not investigate something this important thoroughly?”
Lu Dayou said helplessly, “I didn’t know a Heart Core could sense the whole island’s range. I thought this was normal. After all, I’ve only ever refined this one Heart Core.”
Liang Yuan was speechless for a moment. Indeed, Lu Dayou had never refined the Heart Core of any other Floating Island, so it was natural he didn’t know what a Heart Core could do.
So Liang Yuan asked again, “After you refined this Heart Core, how much of Divine Tree Island could you sense? How much of it is beyond your perception?”
“About fifty percent. Most of it is information from the outer layer of Divine Tree Island, plus some branches of the bloodline paths. Deeper than that, I can’t sense anything.”
After Lu Dayou finished speaking, he couldn’t help adding, “Aren’t you all like this too?”
Liang Yuan sighed. “Of course not. A Floating Island’s Heart Core can control the entire Floating Island—not just its surface and terrain; it can even easily alter the bloodline paths and freely seal off their routes.”
“You can easily sense any spot on the island, and you can even use the Heart Core to move the entire island!”
“What?”
Liang Yuan’s words utterly shocked Lu Dayou.
Compared to what Liang Yuan described, the power he gained after obtaining the Heart Core didn’t have nearly that many functions.
He’d even thought his situation was the norm.
Liang Yuan suddenly thought of something else and asked, “The Heart Core often contains genetic memory information—some memory fragments from this Divine Tree Island’s original body when it was alive.”
“Did you sense anything when you refined it?”
Lu Dayou shook his head repeatedly. “No, I didn’t sense anything at all.”
Liang Yuan frowned, then looked at Liang Minru. “What about you? What did you feel when you refined the Brain Core?”
Liang Minru snapped out of her shock and quickly said, “Is the Brain Core just as miraculous as the Heart Core?”
“I can only sense the distribution of the bloodline paths—but not all of them.”
“It’s limited to the area where I first discovered the Brain Core.”
“And I can’t sense Divine Tree Island’s terrain at all.”
Liang Yuan shook his head. “The Brain Core and Heart Core have different functions.”
“The Brain Core can’t alter terrain and landforms or perceive the island’s internal structure like the Heart Core can, but it can sense the lifeforms on the island, alter the island’s climate and environment, and so on.”
“Have you mastered any of those abilities?”
Liang Minru immediately shook her head. “No. I can only sense lifeforms within a certain range around me, and I can’t perceive how life is distributed across the whole island.”
“And I haven’t felt anything like changing environment or climate at all.”
Liang Yuan fell silent, frowning. From Lu Dayou and Liang Minru’s descriptions, he felt the two of them seemed to have grasped only a small fragment of Divine Tree Island’s authority.
Could these Heart Core and Brain Core be castrated versions?
Or are plant-type Floating Islands simply like this by nature?
Liang Yuan said at once, “No rush. We’ll take our time. Divine Tree Island’s range isn’t that big. If we check it one section at a time, we’re sure to find some clues.”
The others nodded immediately and started following the bloodline paths to investigate.
“There’s definitely nothing in this area. We used to hide underground here, and this is the region we moved around in most. Nothing special about it.”
Liang Minru spoke first, pointing at a huge plaza ahead that dipped slightly down.
Liang Yuan probed with His senses and indeed found nothing unusual.
The group passed through the plaza and continued deeper in.
The further they went, the narrower the passage became.
Lu Dayou said, “From what I can sense through the Heart Core, there shouldn’t be any path ahead.”
Liang Yuan’s eyes flickered. “Let’s keep going and see.”
The others nodded and continued moving forward.
The road ahead really was getting narrower and narrower, to the point where even a single person couldn’t squeeze through sideways.
Liang Yuan closed his eyes, letting his Spiritual Power spread out directly as he explored the bloodline pathways all around.
The bloodline pathways here were like a thick wooden wall, not the fleshy structure he had encountered before.
There was a clear difference between the two.
Liang Yuan touched the wall with its wooden grain; he thought for a moment and said, “You all, step back.”
Lu Yuyan and the others hurriedly took a few steps back.
Flame rapidly gathered in Liang Yuan’s palm, and in an instant it turned into a blazing fireball.
He suddenly thrust out his hand, slapping it directly onto the wooden wall.
Boom!
Immediately, the entire wooden wall began to burn violently.
Thick smoke billowed out in great quantities.
Liang Yuan waved his hand, forming a Spirit Turtle Shield that covered the surroundings, blocking out the dense smoke.
Lu Dayou didn’t understand what was happening and couldn’t help saying, “Mr. Liang, are you trying to burn through it?”
Liang Yuan gave a slight nod. “That’s right.”
“You suspect there’s another passage behind it? But I didn’t sense anything.” Lu Dayou couldn’t help saying.
Liang Yuan shook his head slightly. “Not sensing anything is exactly the problem.”
“We came here to discover problems. If we only follow the paths you can sense, we’ll probably end up finding nothing at all.”
“Look, the wall is cracking!”
All of a sudden, Liang Minru immediately noticed that the wooden wall being burned by the Flame was rapidly cracking open, revealing a massive fissure of unknown depth.
And from within the fissure, dense water vapor surged out, as if trying to extinguish the blazing fire Liang Yuan had unleashed.
Seeing this scene, Liang Yuan immediately let out a cold laugh.
“Knows how to protect itself—there really is something fishy here!”
You had to know, the other Floating Islands were nothing but corpses. Even if you hollowed out the heart of a Floating Island, the entire island wouldn’t react at all.
But this Divine Tree Island was clearly different—it actually knew how to fight back.
What did that mean? It meant this island still had consciousness!
Liang Yuan’s expression grew solemn. Flames surged from both his palms, burning furiously against the water vapor.
Very soon, the vapor in the fissure was like rising steam, beginning to evaporate under the scorching of the blazing fire.
The cracks around them widened more and more.
It was as if a piece of tree bark was losing moisture at high speed, turning into a mottled old hide.
In just a few minutes, all the water vapor in front of them had dissipated, revealing a huge, deep fissure.
Liang Yuan looked at Lu Dayou behind him. “Now can you sense what’s inside the fissure?”
“It seems there’s a passage behind it!”
Lu Dayou’s face was full of shock and doubt as he spoke quickly.
Liang Yuan said at once, “Let’s go in and take a look.”
Lu Dayou couldn’t help saying, “Mr. Liang, could you take Yu Yan with you? I’m afraid there may be danger inside.”
Liang Yuan paused mid-step and looked over at Lu Yuyan.
He directly reached out and took Lu Yuyan’s fair hand, saying, “Leave her to me. Let’s go.”
Lu Yuyan’s face flushed faintly, but her eyes were very bright in the darkness.
She drew closer to Liang Yuan, feeling not the slightest fear of this dark fissure.
On the contrary, she actually hoped this pitch-black cleft would be a bit deeper.
That way, Brother Liang could keep holding her hand the whole time.
Liang Yuan didn’t think that far; he only felt certain that there was something strange about this Divine Tree Island.
Right now, as the four of them flew quickly, they kept going deeper in.
After a short while, a streak of emerald light suddenly appeared ahead.
As they drew nearer and nearer, the light grew steadily brighter.
At last, they crossed the deep fissure, and their view suddenly opened up.
They saw that ahead, everywhere was covered in Green plants; the ground and the walls were thick with gigantic mushrooms.
Even a random blade of grass was huge, like an entire building.
The four of them standing here were like four ants in a clump of grass.
“What is this place?”
Liang Minru couldn’t help crying out in surprise.
Lu Dayou’s expression was one of amazement as well.
The two of them controlled the Heart Core and Brain Core of Divine Tree Island, yet they still hadn’t known that inside this island there was such a vast underground world.
In this underground world, plants of all kinds were everywhere. Those mutated mushrooms were unimaginably huge; some even emitted a faint glow, illuminating the surroundings.
Some were as large as houses, and beneath their caps, you could practically set up a three-bedroom apartment.
The grasses and trees here were even more colossal. Everything looked as though they had stepped right into the Avatar World.
All of them were stunned. Liang Yuan immediately looked at Lu Dayou.
“Sense the area—see if there are any living beings here, and what the terrain is like.”
Lu Dayou nodded quickly and used the Heart Core to sense the surroundings.
The next moment, his face suddenly darkened. “I can’t sense anything. I actually can’t sense anything at all. It’s like some kind of Power is blocking this place!”
“Me too!”
Liang Minru spoke up at once. “I actually can’t sense any sign of life here either. These plants are right in front of me, but through the Brain Core, I can’t feel any living beings at all!”
Liang Yuan showed a cold smile. “Just as I thought—something’s definitely wrong here!”
