502: A great civilization on the verge of extinction

Approximately a few seconds later, a coordinate appeared in Chen Du's mind.

Success!

Chen Du felt a little excited. The eternal tree was considered a top-tier resource even by Great Civilizations.

This Heaven-Defying resource was now so easily locked onto by him!

Although there was no surrounding terrain, making it impossible to determine the location, these were minor details.

Based on the information obtained from the Hunter Civilization, the number of Yun Que Clans who knew about the eternal tree was definitely not many. If he rushed there at the fastest speed, he might be able to acquire it directly.

However, something was strange. According to the coordinates in his mind, the destination was at an altitude of 100,000 meters.

But it was quite far from his current location, exceeding the distance of more than one Sector.

This was somewhat beyond Chen Du's expectations.

According to Chen Du's initial assumption, this eternal tree should be within a certain range directly above the Liaoyuan Sector.

Because Huang Cheng's description was that the Tianfeng Sector was shattered, and its fragments were suspected to have merged into the Liaoyuan Sector.

They came to investigate and then discovered the longevity tree, from which they deduced that the eternal tree was here. He didn't specify exactly where.

But it was certainly reasonable for it to be near the Liaoyuan Sector.

Huang Cheng's dying words were, "Without my information, you will definitely not find the eternal tree."

Chen Du initially thought that the other party hadn't expected him to be able to find it in the sky, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to pinpoint the eternal tree's location.

Due to the Locking Spear, Chen Du did indeed find it.

However, judging from the coordinates in his mind, it was definitely outside the scope of the Liaoyuan Sector.

Without this item, even if Chen Du searched every inch of the Liaoyuan Sector's sky and seabed, he wouldn't find the eternal tree.

It seemed that Huang Cheng hadn't lied.

The other party must have known some relevant information about the eternal tree, which made him so confident that Chen Du would never find it.

But unfortunately, Huang Cheng would never have imagined that Chen Du possessed an item like the Locking Spear.

As for why the eternal tree was so far away, while the longevity tree fell into the Liaoyuan Sector, Chen Du didn't dwell on the specific reasons.

In short, the target was locked, and he immediately ordered Ru Yan to descend below 10,000 meters and then head towards the destination in his mind.

Since he could pinpoint the location, there was no need to hide on the back of this Yun Que Clan and wander around; he could just go directly.

As for deterrent power, the Yun Que Clan's presence was pretty much the same everywhere. As long as she wasn't flaunting herself in front of an Overlord-level Civilization, it would be fine.

Even if she encountered a Tier 1 Great Civilization like herself, they would still give her some Face.

Because for a Tier 1 Great Civilization, they are more concerned with solidifying their status. Fighting and killing are reserved for lower-level Civilizations, such as someone unknown like Chen Du, who clearly belonged to a Small Civilization.

Whether to kill or not kill upon seeing him depended entirely on her mood at that moment. Unfortunately, Ru Yan was in a very bad mood today.

But even more unfortunately, she didn't win!

Tier 1 Civilizations are second only to Overlord-level Civilizations. They cherish their current status and generally avoid conflicts with each other.

If things went badly and they ended up mutually wounded, allowing a Tier 2 Civilization to exploit the opportunity, that would be awkward.

As a Tier 1 Great Civilization, Ru Yan was very proud, but in reality, her life was ultimately more important.

The higher one's status, the more one cherishes life—this saying was fully embodied in her.

Tier 1 is the strongest existence besides Overlord-level Civilizations.

Except when encountering an Overlord-level Civilization or another Tier 1 Civilization, she could come and go freely in this world!

Whoosh!

After Chen Du's longsword pierced a few more centimeters downwards, Ru Yan didn't dare to delay and immediately plummeted like a crashing plane.

Chen Du hid beneath her feathers. Since he didn't know the name of the destination, he could only use the most basic commands like 'forward' and 'left/right' to direct her.

Fortunately, there were no obstacles in the sky, so it was mostly a straight path, with only occasional corrections needed.

Following the route in his mind, Chen Du estimated he could reach the destination in three days. If they kept flying high up, it would take a month to reach the destination.

Chen Du didn't waste the travel time.

"What mission are you out on?"

"I'm not out on a mission. I left angrily because of an arranged marriage within my Family."

Upon hearing this, Chen Du felt a strange sense of emotion. Although different Yun Que Clans belonged to different Civilizations and cultures, some things, or rather, some laws, were almost inevitable for all Civilizations.

"The person I'm supposed to marry isn't bad at all, in fact, he's very good. He's a Genius with even higher talent than me. My leaving isn't a refusal, but simply because I dislike this method."

"However, my Family probably misunderstands and thinks I'm refusing. They're probably looking for me now."

"Are you threatening me?"

Chen Du was silent for a few seconds, then spoke in a cold tone.

"I'm just speaking the truth. We have no grudge. If you kill me, it will only increase potential trouble. If you release me after reaching your destination, we can go our separate ways in peace."

Because of Chen Du's power, Ru Yan was somewhat afraid of him. Although she was speaking threatening words, her tone was a bit timid.

This person was completely different from the Small Civilizations described within her Civilization; he was ridiculously strong!

Ru Yan even suspected that Chen Du could contend with a Level 25 Advanced Aerial Warrior.

Chen Du keenly caught this detail and, based on experience, could roughly judge that the other party was telling the truth.

Although Ru Yan was Level 24, she gave Chen Du the feeling of a student.

This was probably related to her being from a Tier 1 Great Civilization.

To put it plainly, she was a bit too well protected. Taking High Martial Civilization as an example, due to limited resources, they had to go out for training starting from Level 15.

If it were a lower-level school, they could start training outside at Level 10. These trainings would greatly increase the risk of death.

But they would also make them more mature.

Chen Du was just like that. Although he hadn't been away from the High Martial Civilization for long, a series of experiences had made him grow too much.

In contrast, Chen Du guessed that the Yun Que Civilization might even allow their members to cultivate to Level 25 within the Civilization before going out.

Completely different concepts.

"Don't worry, I just want to borrow the deterrent power of your Yun Que Civilization. If you help me get to the destination, we can part ways amicably."

Chen Du stated with certainty.

Afterward, Chen Du asked some more questions about the 100,000-meter altitude.

He gained two rather unexpected pieces of information.

First: the City of Clouds was slowly disappearing, for unknown reasons.

The City of Clouds was similar to a Star Island. They were actually just an aerial foothold, a type of solid cloud, but incredibly massive.

But Ru Yan said that they were now melting like ice, which had never happened before.

Chen Du naturally didn't know the reason, and he wasn't very interested in this matter anyway, as there were many inexplicable strange things in this world.

But the second piece of information was quite significant.

It was information that overturned Chen Du's understanding.

The "Flying Serpent Civilization" among the Great Civilizations was on the verge of extinction!
