Guleng Star, Tianyuan Sect.
Zhang Xiaoman found a vacant piece of land by Jade Spirit Lake and spent points to exchange for a seed of a World Tree Clone from the gang mall.
As before, when the seed appeared, it fell irresistibly downwards.
"Tsk tsk, kid, youâre really wasting it, such a good thing used here, why not just give it to me instead? Maybe I could recover some strength."
Ni Yangâs voice came.
This time he didnât communicate through his Divine Soul but instead emerged from the water, staring longingly at the descending seed.
Zhang Xiaoman knew what he meant, but everything had to be done step by step. If the seed could immediately restore Ni Yangâs strength and get him out of the pool, he wouldnât hesitate to give it to him.
But itâs not like that; according to Ni Yang himself, he needs at least five seeds to get out of the water, and his utilization efficiency is far inferior to the Doomsday Crystal.
Furthermore, the Divine Ancient Continent is in a tumultuous period. According to reports, many dreadful monsters have been discovered in various places in the Da Fu Dynasty.
Tianyuan Sectâs disciples went to investigate and confirmed that these monsters are the legendary Outer Heaven Demons, also known as Alien Species.
The prophecy has come true; the world has really suffered a monster invasion, so now Zhang Xiaoman needs to connect with Water Blue Star more than ever.
Then, the Awakeners over there can come here and hunt, helping Tianyuan Sect maintain the stability of this world and bringing more points benefits to Zhang Xiaoman.
At this moment, not only Ni Yang but Jiu Jiu and Master Liu had also come to see what the long-awaited World Tree looks like.
On the hill in the distance, many disciples were watching from afar. They had heard of the World Tree, and although they were unsure of its exact function, they did know that such a scene is rare, so they naturally came to see for themselves.
As the seed burrowed into the ground, a familiar sapling grew quickly, reaching the sky to form a World Tree over a hundred meters tall.
Then, the Tree Gate formed, circulating Mysterious radiance through which everyone could enter the Original Realm and continue to Water Blue Star.
Next to it, Pei Laoliu was unexpectedly calm seeing this sight.
When he first arrived on this planet, he wanted nothing more than to return quickly. If he had then seen the World Tree, he would have been overjoyed, because it would mean he could finally go home.
However, as time went by, after five years, Master Liu gradually got used to life here and saw Tianyuan Sect as his home.
Although living in such an ancient world came with many inconveniences, which left those used to modern urban life somewhat uncomfortable.
Everything has pros and cons; this world may be backward, but it has its merits.
At least, in terms of overall environment, whether it be the concentration of Spiritual Energy or peopleâs pursuit of the Immortal Path, this world far exceeds Water Blue Star.
Moreover, Master Liu had been accepted by Tianyuan Sectâs elder and took in quite a few disciples; he had his own business and had unknowingly lost his desire to return.
After hesitating for a while, Pei Laoliu didnât immediately walk into the Tree Gate but quietly walked away alone.
Zhang Xiaoman noticed his silhouette and roughly guessed Master Liuâs feelings; he was probably feeling a bit homesick, or perhaps he was lost, confused about whether to return or, having returned, whether to come back?
Zhang Xiaoman vanished and reappeared beside Master Liu.
"Master Liu, the Tree Gate is open. Wonât you come back with me to see? Youâll be surprised by Water Blue Starâs changes over the years. In some cities now, Anti-gravity Cars can already fly, and soon theyâll be used worldwide."
Master Liu was sitting on a step, staring blankly in the direction of the World Tree, so Zhang Xiaoman sat beside him.
"By the way, Master Liu, did I mention that your house was taken down in the last demolition? The area is now a large Underground Shelter, with military facilities on top. You wonât recognize it if you go there now..."
Pei Laoliuâs ears twitched as he heard this, immediately drawing his distracted gaze from the World Tree to Zhang Xiaoman, saying:
"My house was demolished? When did this happen? Why wasnât I informed?"
He paused and then seemed to remember something, quickly continued:
"Right, how much compensation did I get for the house? Do you know how to negotiate? Make sure you donât sell the house cheap!"
Zhang Xiaoman looked at him and laughed:
"Master Liu, youâre now a Tianyuan Sect elder; do you still care about house prices? As for the exact amount, Iâm not sure, but I heard it was over three million. The house was demolished while Su Fu was handling it in the Second Universe. Donât worry, you wonât lose out!"
