Xu Zongyi and his group didn't waste any time as they avoided all the vicious beasts from afar. When they reached a depth of fifty kilometers, it seemed as if there were more and more vicious beasts gathered in groups of three to five.

We need to be careful next. The beasts of the Golden Maple Forest are much more terrifying than those of Xu Tianyang and the others, so we need to avoid them as much as possible and not get entangled, especially those like the Silver Armored Wolf and the Golden Body Ape. They are very united, and once entangled, it will be very difficult to escape from them, especially for the Golden Body Ape … " Xu Zhengdao talked about all the beasts that could appear in the Golden Maple Forest, allowing the two of them to be on guard.

"The Golden Apes are indeed in their territory, so what should we do next? Given their personality, they definitely won't give up, but there are many fierce beasts here. This Autumn Hunt is extremely important, and we can't just guard against them at all times." Xu Xindie held the two daggers in her hands, sensing the danger that might appear at any time. She and Xu Zhengdao were both very sensitive. They landed on a golden maple tree and hid within it.

"I think we should find a place to rest. We need to rest for seven days and we can hide when we are injured. Especially if we are stationed in the wilderness at night, we may encounter danger at any time." Xu Zongyi looked at the two of them.

"What Zong Yi said makes sense. Most of the vicious beasts here are at least in the Spirit Condensation realm, and most of them are in the contemplation or delusion realm. However, if we were to encounter a meditative state or visualization realm fierce beasts, it is possible that an accident might occur to all three of us if we join hands." Xu Zhengdao thought so.

"Then I'll look for it." Xu Xindie took out three butterflies from her bracelet.

Xu Zhengdao looked around and his eyeballs nearly fell off his sockets as he exclaimed, "These are Ten Thousand Spirit Butterflies! You actually have three more!"

"Patriarch Xuan told me to keep them ever since I was young. I didn't expect them to be of use now." Xu Xindie covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes squinted like crescent moons.

"Myriad Spirit Butterfly?" Xu Zongyi was stunned.

This is a very precious butterfly that my family owns. It can communicate with its owner, be good at concealment, detection, camouflage, as well as the exploration of heavenly and earthly treasures. Now that we have this Myriad Spirit Butterfly, it will be much easier for us to find a safe place." Xu Zhengdao was very envious as he praised, "The survival rate of a Ten Thousand Spirit Butterfly is very low. Every time it lays an egg, from a larva to a butterfly that breaks out of its cocoon, ten thousand of them can only live once. It would be a priceless treasure in the outside world!

"Compared to Zong Yi, my Myriad Spirit Butterfly is nothing." Xu Xindie's laughter was as melodious as silver bells. As the three Myriad Spirit Butterflies danced in the air, their bodies actually turned golden, as if they were golden maple leaves falling from the sky. No one would be able to detect them at all.

Xu Zhengdao looked at Xu Zongyi and thought of the little calamity that had befallen him. He suddenly felt a sense of despair, "This is all my life, I'll haunt my master when I get back. There's something more to be said. Am I still his last disciple?"

Xu Zongyi laughed dryly. He was just lucky that he had been able to obtain this small calamity.

At this moment, his breathing was still like that of the Black Turtle. The Spiritual Aura in this place was quite dense, but it was also extremely fierce. "It seems that if my body is not strong enough, absorbing the Spiritual Aura in this place would harm me."

Xu Zongyi felt an immense pain as he circulated < Life and Death > and channeled Qi into his bones for polishing. Of course, this was nothing compared to the time when the jade cauldron was being boiled.

"Yes, indeed." Xu Zhengdao thought so. "But if I can bear it, I'll have to cultivate here for a long period of time. Especially for those who cultivate the Metal Elemental Arts, they'll gain a lot."

Cultivation of different scriptures and techniques was extremely important.

"To the Autumn Battlefield Academy, this place is a land of cultivation blessings." Xu Xindie naturally understood one of the reasons why the Autumn Hunt had been arranged to be held here. It was also because she had a certain advantage over Xu Tianyi.

"It's good as long as I'm the leader." Xu Zhengdao had a look of disdain on his face, disdaining this kind of behavior.

"We'll also search everywhere. I'm sure that we'll be able to obtain some other things in the Golden Maple Forest." Xu Zongyi didn't want to wait. He stared at the golden maple leaves on the ground, their edges flickering.

"In the Golden Maple Forest, there aren't just the Golden Maple trees. There are also other types of vegetation. It's autumn right now, so I might be able to harvest some fruits or seeds." Xu Xindie also really wanted to look around, "I will tell the Ten Thousand Spirit Butterfly soldiers to split into three paths, looking for our resting place, and also look for the location of the hidden treasures as well as to sense the whereabouts of the Heavenly Snow Flying Fox. Let's go, let's head in this direction first, it seems that the aura will be stronger."

"It seems like we can only follow the heart butterfly." Xu Zhengdao sighed.

"I started hanging out with Miss Heartbutterfly very early on." Xu Zongyi had a brilliant smile on his face.

The three of them advanced towards one of the directions that the Ten Thousand Spirit Butterfly had given them. Along the way, they used the direction that they leaped towards, stepping on top of the Golden Maple Tree.

From what Xu Zongyi had seen in the past, the Golden Maple Tree's entire body was sturdy and sharp.

The result would be extremely beneficial to a person's lungs, but not everyone could bear it.

After its flowers dried in the sun, they could be put into a scented sachet, worn on the body, or placed in a soft pillow to calm the mind and destroy evil, helping others to dispel their thoughts.

According to legends, once it was cut down, the heart of the tree that was hidden inside would become a sword. It could be used as a sword embryo, or it could also be used to create a variety of combat weapons. It had extraordinary armor breaking effects!

Now that the outside world was in a state of chaos, Xu Chong Mu brought a large number of powers to this area for the Autumn Hunt. Without a doubt, in the eyes of the large powers, the entire Golden Maple Forest was like a huge treasure trove of weapons.

However, now that the Seven Great Leaders of the Xu Family were here, Xu Chong Mu could not brazenly do such a thing, even as the leader of the family.

Under Xu Xindie's lead, they entered a deeper place.

In this place, the autumn wind blowing could cause one to feel a stinging pain on their face.

Xu Zongyi swallowed and spat out the spirit energy of heaven and earth. He felt as if his skin, flesh, and bones were being scraped by a sharp blade.

"This is the place." With the help of the Ten Thousand Spirit Butterfly, Xu Xindie brought Xu Zongyi, Xu Zhengdao, and the rest to a small mountain.

Along the way, they avoided as many vicious beasts as possible, not engaging in a direct confrontation.

They were also afraid that they would cause too much of a commotion and cause Xu Tianyi and the others to discover their whereabouts in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

This small mountain was over two hundred feet tall, and only the Golden Maple Tree was rooted here.

The mountain was relatively empty. Looking down from above, one could see very well.

There was a valley at the bottom of the mountain.

In the center of the ravine, there was a plant rooted in a lump of golden soil.

Silver Armored Wolves surrounded the plant.

Every single silver armored wolf was at least in the Perception Realm, two ding of strength.

The head wolf, on the other hand, was in the Desolate Realm. Its four cauldrons power seemed to have reached a state of meditation.

"These Silver Armored Wolves live in the Golden Maple Forest all year round. Their claws are very sharp, and they cannot be underestimated. Their fur is also very hard, like armor. Ordinary swords are hard to injure, and their skin is iron." Xu Zhengdao had a serious look on his face, "I'm afraid there are seventy or eighty of them down there. They won't be easy to deal with."

If the three of them were to leave, they would be torn to shreds at the very first moment.

"Of course we have to be smart in such a situation." Xu Xindie giggled, her eyes shining as she pointed to the center of the valley and said, "Do you know what that plant is?"

"I know, this is the Sky Golden Tree, in essence, it is much stronger than the Golden Maple Tree." Xu Zongyi knew quite a lot about plants and vegetation, and he said, "It's just that the Sky Golden Tree in front of me isn't fully grown yet. It'll take some time."

"Did you see that? These silver armored wolves will surround the Sky Golden Tree and absorb the aura it devours to nourish themselves, so the strength of these silver armored wolves will far surpass that of ordinary silver armored wolves!" Xu Xindie spoke softly. Her gaze was burning as she took a deep breath, "However, this is not the main point. Look at the clump of soil under the Heavenly Gold Tree."

Xu Zhengyi and Xu Zhengdao were attracted by the sight. That clump of soil was the size of a rice jar, and upon closer inspection, it actually began to change in an irregular fashion.

"This sort of record, could it be a Thousand-form Stone?" Xu Zongyi recalled some of the records and suddenly came to a realization.

"That's right, for a plant like the Heaven's Golden Tree, it can only be rooted in solid soil and rocks. The Thousand-form Stone can change its form, absorb the nutrients from the soil and rocks, and strengthen itself, and it can be used to refine magic tools, or it can also be used to grow plants that have extremely high requirements for the Heaven's Golden Tree." Xu Xindie was very excited.

For the farmland disciples, they had to collect all kinds of soil so that they could walk further and further on this path.

Xu Zongyi was well aware that if he possessed a Heavenly Gold Tree at the peak of perfection, he would need to borrow the pure aura of the tree to nourish it and temper it. Once he succeeded, his destructive power would be rather terrifying.

Even in the Golden Maple Forest, the Heavenly Golden Tree would have to go to an extremely deep place.

"But why is there such a Heavenly Gold Tree here?" Xu Zhengdao didn't quite understand either.

"Look, there's a cave there. Perhaps some vicious beasts are producing cubs and purposely came to these weaker regions to ensure their safety. They ate the fruit of the Heaven's Golden Tree in the depths of the cave and pulled down their feces here, only to accidentally grow them here?" Xu Zongyi pointed to the depths of the ravine. There was indeed a cave that was forty meters tall and ten meters wide. It was unknown what was hidden within.

"That's the only possibility. Little Heart Butterfly, tell me, how do you want to use your wits?" Xu Zhengdao's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Have you forgotten the methods of my Spring Festival? Heh heh, it's not a problem to let them sleep for a while. " Xu Xindie had long since been prepared for this.

"Haha, alright!" Xu Zhengdao immediately understood.

"When do we make our move?" Xu Zongyi also wanted the Heavenly Golden Tree very much, along with the Shapeshift Stone underneath it.

"When I'm late, I should observe first. I'm afraid there might be some accident." Xu Xindie told the Ten Thousand Spirit Butterfly to go to other places to relax because she was afraid that someone might try to pick the peach midway.

"Sure." The three of them first hid themselves and stored their energy, preparing to make their move.

However, Xu Tiankong and the others caught up from behind.
