Since spending the Stairway Tree points at the Stairway Mall would not affect one's ranking, Lin Xie's name was always No. 1 on the leaderboard. Everyone was paying attention to the changes in Lin Huang's ranking throughout the past few days.
In the beginning, everyone was shocked when Lin Huang broke through the 50th checkpoint. This was because most of the people who were stuck on the 46th checkpoint were stuck on this checkpoint.
Later on, Lin Huang climbed up at the speed of breaking through two checkpoints a day, which made people realize how difficult it was for him to climb.
On the 51st checkpoint, he did not break through it even after a few hours. Many people thought that he would be stuck, but he managed to break through it after spending more than five hours.
It was the same for the next few checkpoints. The process of breaking through each checkpoint was a long torture.
However, Lin Huang managed to get through it and arrived at the 55th checkpoint of the Stairway Tree.
The 55th checkpoint of the Stairway Tree was the fourth gathering point for humans on the Stairway Tree. Those who could reach this checkpoint were basically immortal-level rank-7 and above.
None of the people from the Evil Alliance expected Lin Xie, who was only on blue flame-level, to be able to reach this checkpoint. Even Lin Huang did not expect himself to be able to reach this checkpoint.
It was a record that could be recorded in history as no holy fire-level had ever been able to reach the 55th checkpoint since the beginning of the Stairway Tree's history. Lin Huang was the first and only one to do so.
The Emperor's Heart even made an announcement to all the current members of the Evil Alliance because of Lin Huang's record.
"Congratulations, Lin Xie, for reaching the 55th checkpoint of the Stairway Tree as a blue flame-level! You've broken the highest holy fire-level record! "
The Emperor's Heart even pinned the announcement on the Evil Alliance's forum.
Many of them who did not follow Lin Huang's progress were completely shocked when they received the news.
On the forum, someone even started a topic under the pinned post.
# Which checkpoint were you on when you were on blue flame-level?
The topic soon became a hot topic.
"Level … Level 1 … (Covering face)"
"I froze to death 11 times on the second checkpoint, then I retreated to the first checkpoint. (Picking nose)"
"I was frozen to death 13 times when I passed by …"
"You bunch of scumbags, I was frozen to death 28 times, but I didn't say anything! (Tsundere) "
"I think I was on the 29th checkpoint when I was on blue flame-level," Chan Dou replied.
"Upstairs, the boss has appeared. The newbie snatched a strand of leg hair. The blood of the boss is mine!"
"I only saw the first checkpoint when I was on blue flame-level …"
…
After Lin Huang logged out, he immediately received a record-breaking notification from the Emperor's Heart.
A notification was sent at the same time as the announcement.
"You're You Rank 1 Tree, Tree, Rank 1". "Rank 1 Rank 1 Rank 1" Rank.
There was an attachment attached to the notice. Lin Huang clicked on the attachment and it was a black seed.
Puzzled, Lin Huang downloaded it. After a while, the download was completed and the virtual black seed appeared on his palm.
"What's going on?" Lin Huang was shocked. He knew that many of the items in the Evil Alliance could be brought to the real world. However, he had to take them out after putting them into his Emperor's Heart Ring. But now, this black seed actually turned into a physical object and appeared in his hands after he clicked on the download button.
He stared at the seed in his hand and observed it carefully. It was black all over and was only the size of a pinky. There was nothing special about it.
Lin Huang wanted to put it into the storage space of his Emperor's Heart Ring, but he could not. He had no choice but to put it in his pocket.
Feeling doubtful, Lin Huang searched for the tree on the Heart Network, but there was nothing about it.
He searched for the keyword 'tree seed' in the Evil Alliance forum, but he did not have the authority to do so.
Lin Huang was even more doubtful. He could not help but send a message to Chan Dou. "What's a tree seed?"
In less than two seconds after he sent the message, Chan Dou sent a video call request.
Lin Huang picked up the video call, feeling confused.
"Did you get the tree seed as a reward?" Chan Dou was shocked.
"Erm … I was just asking." Lin Huang did not admit it directly.
"Alright then." Chan Dou just realized that he had lost his cool. He then said after calming himself down, "The tree seed is a special reward given by the Emperor's Heart to those who perform well in the Evil Alliance. It's also the highest reward in the Evil Alliance. It's even more valuable than a demigod relic.
"Although I've never seen it before, I've heard from my seniors that the tree seed is a god item. Its value is even higher than a god relic. Each tree seed will grow into a different fruit after it's planted in a person's body. Some of the fruits will give people divine abilities directly while some will turn into god items or god relics. The fruit that grows in different people's bodies will be different. It's said that the time it takes to grow in different people's bodies is different. Some of them only need a day to grow and bear fruit while some of them don't even bear fruit for up to a hundred years.
"It's actually very simple to activate the tree seed. All you have to do is insert your Life Power into the tree until it's full. Then, it'll be activated automatically. The tree seed that's activated will go into the person's body. You don't have to care about it after that. " Chan Dou told Lin Huang the activation method. It was obvious that he knew that Lin Huang had obtained the tree seed as a reward.
"Thanks." Lin Huang did not deny that he had obtained the tree seed.
Chan Dou looked at Lin Huang enviously and hung up the video call without saying anything else.
After ending the call with Chan Dou, Lin Huang took out the black tree seed from his pocket. Without hesitation, he inserted his Life Power into it according to Chan Dou's method.
He activated Army Attack Tactics while inserting his Life Power into the tree seed.
Soon, the Life Power of the first Life Wheel was drained, followed by the second, third, fourth … Eventually, all ten Life Wheels were drained but there was still no reaction from the tree seed. The tree seed was like a bottomless abyss. After absorbing all ten of the Life Wheels in Lin Huang's body, there was no reaction at all.
As the Life Power in his body was drained, Lin Huang immediately used a Life Power Refill Card to refill all ten Life Wheels in his body. He then proceeded to refill the black tree seed's second round of Life Power.
Half an hour later, another ten Life Wheels were drained but there was still no reaction from the tree seed.
Lin Huang then took out a second and third Life Power Refill Card and started refilling his Life Power for the third and fourth round of Life Power.
Another hour later, a total of 40 Life Wheels had been refilled. However, there was still no reaction from the black tree seed that was the size of a thumb.
"It seems like it's difficult to activate it within a short period of time."
