Changes to the Crystal Tree

After finishing the speech and seeing Yu Lei's corpse, An Tianzuo then turned to go to the crystal tree.

No one dared to fight An Tianzuo, nor even stop him for fear of being killed by him because of how powerful he was. The cultivators only saw An Tianzuo walking towards that crystal tree.

"Why don't you go there too? The tree was definitely the true treasure of this Ancient Tomb Site. Of course inside it would definitely be worth more than what other cultivators obtained."

"Did you tell me to die? Do you not see his power? I won't even be able to withstand a single attack from him. Why don't you go there?"

"No, no. I'd better see it from afar!"

"Hey, haven't you always been proud of your strength? You go there, maybe the masked man will be afraid of you."

"W-what do you mean? I-I'm not that kind of person!"

"Are you showing your true nature now? Previously you were as strong as the most powerful in the world, but now you are even a coward!"

"I'm not that kind of person ...."

People started whispering and talking to each other to talk about An Tianzuo. The person who was previously arrogant had now become a coward due to seeing An Tianzuo's strength.

An Tianzuo regained the pretend points, because of all of them, so his pretend points had now increased to 9,285,000.

'Showing strength in public will earn a lot of pretend points, because they will be surprised or think that I am strong. This was a great choice to raise or earn pretend points, An Tianzuo's inner self.

An Tianzuo had been in front of the door that was on that crystal tree. The crystal tree did not show any change anymore, because it seemed like it had already completed the change.

The door was tightly closed, not even that could be opened by An Tianzuo how much he tried. There is a keyhole on the door so to open it requires a key.

An Tianzuo did not have the key to open it. He's looking in the tree that might be the key there.

"The first time I met the masked man, I felt an unusual feeling about him. Earlier I wanted to stop Yu Lei from insulting him, but it was too late because he had already provoked him, therefore I let Yu Lei act as he wished and not stop him," said the man who looked like a scholar.

The face of the scholar-like man was handsome which became some women blushed to look at him. However, his face was still beneath An Tianzuo's.

His name was Chen Liang, he was a young master of a noble family in one of the Shi Kingdoms. He entered the Ancient Tomb Site just like the others to search for resources in order to increase his strength.

"You should have said it to Yu Lei after we left here earlier, so that she wouldn't die," Li Xue said.

"You should also know that I hate people like Yu Lei the most. No matter how much you advise him, he will never follow that advice, which is why I let him. After all he had already fallen into the path of the demons, so there was no need to pity him," Chen Liang said.

After finishing talking to each other, the two of them then walked towards Yu Lei's corpse. No one dared to approach Yu Lei's corpse because he had become a demon, except for Chen Liang and Li Xue. The two of them only looked closely, not daring to touch her for fear of being possessed by a demon.

"For the sake of strength, you are willing to fall into the path of the devil. If you die as a human, I might still acknowledge you as a friend because we are together often. However, you fall into the path of the devil, so that makes you someone who does not deserve to be recognized as a friend or respected." Chen Liang said as he looked at Yu Lei's corpse.

After finishing looking through Yu Lei's corpse, Chen Liang and Li Xue looked back at the crystal tree to see An Tianzuo.

An Tianzuo had searched for a key that might be in his tree, but he did not find the key. Let alone looking for it, he did not even have a clue at all about the key that could open the door.

Even some cultivators also went in search of the key they ventured to approach the crystal tree because after all they had to get the treasure inside, but they also ended up not finding it. There were those who asked each other who might accidentally find it, and some who went a long way to look for the key thinking that the key was somewhere in the Ancient Tomb Site.

"Come, we go look for him!"

"We must find it before it is found by anyone else!"

"Quickly we should look for it, who knows after finding it we will get a precious treasure inside the tree!"

People started flocking to go look for the key from that door.

People had been reduced by half by going to look for the key from the door in that crystal tree. All that was left were An Tianzuo, Chen Liang, Li Xue, and his two companions. There were also 1some cultivators who were still there waiting for the possibility that the door would open by itself.

"W-what happened to that crystal tree? Is it possible that the door will open?"

"That's definitely a sign the door will open! Let's get closer to that tree!"

Suddenly the tree shook so much that people thought it was a sign of the opening of the door on the crystal tree. Not that the door was open, but instead a root appeared on the surface of the ground.

Its roots crept rapidly towards Chen Liang and Li Xue who were near Yu Lei's corpse. As the two of them realized it, they then jumped back and split up thinking one of them was being targeted by the root.

However, after they split up, it turned out that the root was targeted by not the two of them, but the corpse of Yu Lei lying on the ground. The root was wrapped around the corpse so that the corpse was nowhere to be seen as it was completely wrapped around the root of the crystal tree.

After a while, the roots began to slowly release their twists on Yu Lei's corpse, and it was seen that Yu Lei's corpse was only a bone.

It made some people surprised at not expecting that the root of the crystal tree would absorb everything on Yu Lei's corpse, except for the bones.

Not long after, the crystal tree turned black again. There was no change except for the color. The door was still closed as before.

Some people thought that the crystal tree needed a mash to open the door. However, the thought disappeared completely from seeing An Tianzuo holding a key in his right hand.
