Chapter 835: Divine Tree of Life

Chapter 835: Divine Tree of Life

The old devil trees had extremely tough branches. Furthermore, their branches were extending at a rapid speed and instantly surrounded the tiny tree. Some other branches started swinging at Xiang Shaoyun heavily.

During the moment of crisis, Money roared and spat out a large clump of lightning energy, bombarding the branches. However, even he failed to push the branches away.

The interruption bought Xiang Shaoyun a tiny respite. No longer daring to hold back, he used saber intent and human saber unity, bombarding the devil trees with boundless lightning attacks.

Xiang Shaoyun had never gotten the chance to fight at full power since reaching sixth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm. These old devil trees had probably reached the strength of a Sovereign. He had to try his best against them.

In the past, he was only able to attract about 100 bolts of lightning. Now, he was able to attract hundreds of lightning bolts, creating an ocean of lightning that wreaked havoc among the devil trees.

The more he fought, the more vigorous he seemed. He created such a big ruckus that some other disciples not far away also sensed him.

These disciples were all the prodigies of the Dragon Phoenix Academy. All of them were currently surrounded by dangers. Thus, they naturally wished to locate their friends and work together to earn more points. Of course, if they encountered those they disliked, they would act unhesitatingly to eliminate them and reduce their competition.

There were many beings capable of threatening the disciples in the primary-grade Dragon Phoenix Battleground, but those capable of posing any threat to the likes of Xiang Shaoyun were few. 

Xiang Shaoyun’s rampage destroyed even the roots of the devil trees surrounding him, leaving only a few old devil trees that had relied on their massive trunks to survive. Even so, they weren’t in good condition.

They no longer bothered him and tried escaping, but the tiny tree suddenly went on the offensive. Several tiny branches extended and shot toward several directions, directly piercing the old devil trees’ branches.

Xiang Shaoyun did not know what the tiny tree was trying to do, but he soon saw the old devil trees withering. His eyes twitched as he noticed that the tiny tree looked even lusher than before. However, the tiny tree still remained at the same height.

It came as a complete surprise to him that the tiny tree could absorb the old devil trees’ strength in this manner. His suspicions that it was a tiny devil tree intensified.

He soon stopped caring upon sensing the tiny tree’s unique life force, which was an extremely pure power of origin. When he sensed it, it improved his comprehension of the profundity of wood. He had a feeling that by staying beside the tiny tree and sensing its changes, comprehending the profundity of wood would pose him no trouble whatsoever.

Unfortunately, before he could even enter meditation, some new disturbances arrived. This time, it was several Dragon Phoenix Academy disciples who had appeared near him.

When he discovered that they weren’t Overlord Legion members, he warned, “Don’t look for trouble.”

He made his attitude very clear as he did not wish to be disturbed. After some hesitation, the disciples decided to leave as they did not dare to approach him. They were very clear they weren’t Xiang Shaoyun’s match. If he wasn’t strong, how would he dare to go against the likes of Yu Ziyang and Huang Tianji?

After they left, Xiang Shaoyun hesitated for a bit before walking away in a random direction. He did not want to stay as he believed that there was definitely a much safer and peaceful area here where he could focus on comprehending the profundity of wood.

After roaming about for two days with the tiny tree, he finally found a quiet place to hole up temporarily.

The place he found was the territory of a powerful demonic beast. He had killed the demonic beast, and after cleaning up its cave, he used the cave as his temporary cultivation spot.

He kept the tiny tree planted beside him while Money and the three birds guarded the cave entrance. He started observing the tiny tree, observing its every change. While doing so, he also sensed the properties of wood. Numerous inspirations rose in his mind as he started increasing his comprehension of the power of wood.

As for the tiny tree, it crazily absorbed the energy around it, creating a convergence of highly pure wood energy that greatly benefited Xiang Shaoyun. While greedily absorbing the pure wood energy, he deeply immersed himself in the true meaning of wood.

After an unknown amount of time, he saw the tiny tree shining with a radiant glow that looked incredibly mystical and holy. His eyes widened as he gasped, “I-Is this the divine tree of life?”

The divine tree of life was one of the most mystical trees in existence. A single leaf from this tree could revive the dead, while a single piece of its roots could increase one’s lifespan and preserve one’s youth by thousands of years. In the legends, if one could refine one such tree into one’s body, one would obtain an immortal body. This was definitely a divine tree that everyone yearned for.

From the powerful life force the tree was emanating and the holy radiance it was glowing with, Xiang Shaoyun guessed that this tiny tree was a divine tree of life. Of course, he still wasn’t fully confident he was right.

Regardless, his eyes were still instantly filled with excitement. He would reap endless benefits by keeping such a tree by his side. He considered fully refining the tiny tree, but he decided to forget that thought for now.

He was still young, with his body at its peak. If he continued his rapid advancement, he could reach the Heaven Battling Realm or higher. At that time, he would have a much longer lifespan, and there would be no need to waste using this tree for himself.

If he allowed the divine tree of life to be independent, it could continue growing and would provide him with even more benefits. The lightning liquid and emperor-grade spring water weren’t even comparable to a single leaf in terms of healing power.

Xiang Shaoyun tossed all that to the back of his mind and continued focusing on studying the energy around the divine tree. Soon, he entered a miraculous state of meditation.

His current sensation couldn’t be expressed with words. It was as if he was observing the growth process of all living beings, watching how life force accumulated bit by bit into a lifeline, watching how life distributed itself in a life form’s body, granting life to that life form, allowing that life form to mature and grow.

Time passed, and the wood energy in Xiang Shaoyun’s body became denser and denser. The energy lingered around his body instead of entering his star. The energy permeated his flesh and meridians, transforming into a sort of life force that increased his body’s vigor.

The power of wood represented the power of life. That was something many understood, but few could truly comprehend the meaning behind it. Finally, Xiang Shaoyun succeeded in comprehending the profundity of wood. His comprehension of all nine powers had thus been completed.

He planned to continue deepening his comprehension, but he suddenly heard Money’s shout coming from outside the cave. He was forced to end his meditation session.
