What truly captured their attention was not the tree's awe-inspiring presence, but what rested at its very peak. There, glistening with a holy radiance unblemished even by the divine world, sat a simple book. Its cover seemed to shimmer with an inner light, exuding whispers of the Great Dao that tempted any living being to delve into its ancient and unarchaic secrets.
As Cain and Yulong's gazes locked onto their ultimate prize, they couldn't help but notice the peculiar distribution of cultivators on the tree's massive branches.
The fifth and fourth layers stood empty, devoid of any struggling geniuses. Nearly all the other True Divinity groups had gathered upon just the first and second divine orchid branches, their faces etched with frustration and determination.
Only four individuals had managed to ascend to the third divine orchid branch. Cain's eyes narrowed as he recognized them - the Royal Noble Gao, Royal Lady Gu, Saint Jian, and Saintess Jia.
