1403 Unt.i.tled
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyang asked without raising his head, “To find the whereabouts of the anthropomorphic pine?”
“Yeah.”
Beatrice said, “We’ll go with you.”
“No need.” Sheng Xiao stood up and looked at Beatrice as he explained, “The hinterland is more dangerous. With my current strength, it’s not a problem for me to protect Yu Huang. You guys can rest a.s.sured.”
!!
Beatrice had yet to break through to the Grand Master realm, so she couldn’t help even if she followed them.
“Alright, go ahead. Come back early.”
“Okay.”
Late at night, Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao arrived at the training area hand in hand.
The staff of the training area’s management office worked 24 hours a day. When they saw students visiting late at night, the staff stopped them and registered for them before handing them two distress bracelets. “If you encounter an emergency, don’t force yourself. You must seek help from us as soon as possible.”
Every year, students from the inner academy would have accidents in the hinterland of the training area. At best, they would lose an arm or a leg, and at worst, they would die. The staff was worried when they saw that Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang were going to the hinterland.
“We understand.”
Sheng Xiao pulled Yu Huang into the training area and went straight to the hinterland.
The training area was vast, and there were many powerful demon beasts inside. In order not to complicate matters, the two of them hid their spiritual energy aura along the way and used teleportation to run towards the hinterland. The closer they got to the hinterland, the thicker and more ancient the trees here became. These trees were at least ten thousand years old.
Many of them gained intelligence and became treants who were good at thinking.
It was precisely because they loved to think that the treants were praised as the most intelligent creatures in the world.
At dawn, Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao finally arrived at the hinterland of the training area. They found the oldest ancient tree in the training area. It was a towering tree that grew in the middle of the forest in the training area. Its tree crown was far taller than that of the other ancient trees in the forest.
Sheng Xiao had only seen an ancient tree as big as him in the Kunlun Mystic Realm.
As the night breeze blew past, the leaves on the tree fluttered in the wind while emitting rustling sounds. As Yu Huang looked at the ancient tree whose trunk was so thick that it required five to six people to completely surround it, she could sense a powerful life force from it.
“This is indeed a treant that has awakened wisdom.” After Yu Huang placed her palm on the tree trunk, gentle psychic power entered the bottom of the tree trunk. Immediately, the ancient tree started to move without any wind.
After Yu Huang pressed her forehead against the tree trunk, boundless spiritual energy transformed into an illusory phoenix and entered the tree trunk.
The phoenix shuttled down the tree trunk. Almost a thousand meters underground, the phoenix met a green tree spirit, which looked similar to a human, but was more slender and abstract. The tree spirit grew in the thickest tree root of the ancient tree.
The phoenix transformed into Yu Huang and bowed to the tree spirit, who was standing among the tree roots with its eyes closed. “I’m the Divine Feather Phoenix Beast Tamer Yu Huang. Greetings, Senior. I’m deeply sorry for disturbing your cultivation.”
Upon hearing this, the tree spirit slowly opened its eyes.
He stared at Yu Huang gently for a long time before suddenly saying, “Why do you have the aura of a b.u.t.terfly vine?”
b.u.t.terfly vine?
Madam Brulee?
She recalled that Professor Ekel had said that Madam Brulee’s original body was a b.u.t.terfly vine that wandered in a desolate place. Later, it was discovered by the Prime Emperor Divine Miracle and was transplanted to the inner academy. Later, she became a woman. Ten thousand years ago, when Prime Emperor Divine Miracle created the inner academy, the scale of the inner academy wasn’t as big as it was now.
At that time, the training area was the first place to be developed.
As the oldest tree in the center of the training area, the tree spirit in front of her was definitely older than Madam Brulee.
Then, the b.u.t.terfly vine that the tree spirit was talking about was most likely not the current Madam Brulee, but the b.u.t.terfly vine.
At the thought of this, Yu Huang asked humbly, “You also know about the b.u.t.terfly vine?”
The tree spirit slowly said, “Of course, all the plant creatures in the world worship the b.u.t.terfly vine as their mother. A long, long time ago, the three thousand worlds were only a Chaotic World at that time. After an unknown period of time, the first life form suddenly appeared in the Chaos World, and that was the b.u.t.terfly vine.”
“The b.u.t.terfly vine was born with a divine sense and can absorb the energy of nature. After it absorbs the energy, it can exhale it. After a long time, some strange creatures began to appear in this world. For example, the Sky Dragon, the unicorn, the phoenix, the nine-tailed fox, the elf…”
“Oh, and its most beloved child, that colorful b.u.t.terfly.”
When Yu Huang heard the tree spirit’s last sentence, her pupils suddenly dilated. “b.u.t.terfly?” A thought flashed across Yu Huang’s mind. She subconsciously took a step forward and asked, “What does the b.u.t.terfly you mentioned look like?”
The tree spirit praised, “It’s really the most beautiful creature in the world. It has flowery wings that are as gorgeous as colorful clouds. When it’s happy, it can release white and transparent light spots. As long as any creature absorbs its white light, its cultivation level will increase greatly and its intelligence will increase. When it’s sad, red blood rain will fall…”
After she heard the tree spirit’s description, the appearance of the Bewitching b.u.t.terfly appeared in Yu Huang’s mind.
Her heart gradually started racing.
If the b.u.t.terfly the Tree Spirit was talking about was really the Bewitching b.u.t.terfly, was there a connection between him and the Creator? Could they be the same person?
“Where did the b.u.t.terfly vine you mentioned go after that?”
The Tree Spirit shook his head and lamented, “She gave all her cultivation to that beautiful b.u.t.terfly. Later, she disappeared. When the b.u.t.terfly vine was young, that b.u.t.terfly completely awakened its divine sense and became more and more powerful. Later, it gradually became the strongest person in the world. Later, when the b.u.t.terfly’s lifespan was coming to an end, it decided to fall into a deep sleep. The b.u.t.terfly used its body to transform into a vast continent. Sky Dragon, Phoenix, and other demon beasts lived on this continent…”
After saying that, Tree Spirit’s deep gaze lingered on Yu Huang for a long time.
He said in bewilderment, “You have the aura of a b.u.t.terfly vine on you. I can’t be wrong.” Tree Spirit took the initiative to walk towards Yu Huang and asked her, “Have you seen the b.u.t.terfly vine?”
Yu Huang shook her head. “Senior, I don’t know what a b.u.t.terfly vine is, and I don’t remember seeing a b.u.t.terfly vine.”
Upon hearing this, Tree Spirit remained silent for a long time.
After a long while, he muttered, “It must have disappeared from the world long ago…”
