Shushan had read in the ancient books of the True Martial Hall that the Tree of God was the source of life in the God Realm.
Not long after, the distant sound of a bell rang out from the Southern Heavenly Gate. Mu Qingxiao furrowed his brows and increased his speed. He rushed to the west as fast as lightning.
The Well of Celestial Demons was on the east side of the God Realm. It was guarded by General Fei Peng of the Southern Heaven Gate. If one wanted to go to the Well of Celestial Demons, he had to go through General Fei Peng of the God Realm.
The Tree of God was on the opposite side of the Well of Celestial Demons, which was the westernmost part of the God Realm.
He followed the Heaven Stairway to the west. About 10 seconds later, the Golden Crow fell from the west and dyed the sky colorful and dazzling.
There was an island floating in the void under the colorful sky. In the center of the island, there was an unknown tree emitting light. It was very sacred.
The Tree of God.
The Tree of God was not tall. It was only a few feet tall.
Mu Qingxiao stopped in his tracks. His starry eyes focused and his gaze landed on the rather thick branch. There was a woman sitting cross-legged on it.
The woman was graceful and wore a white phoenix coronet. Her skin was as white as snow, and her face was covered by a white veil. There were subtle patterns on her gloves and white dress.
Seeing someone coming, the woman opened her beautiful eyes. Her joy disappeared in a flash. However, when she saw his face, her joy disappeared and was replaced by disappointment.
"Who … are you?"
Mu Qingxiao looked at the woman. She was at the first level of the Earth Celestial Stage.
"Are you Xi Yao?"
"Yes, and you are?"
She nodded and walked toward the Tree of God. Xi Yao didn't stop him. She just looked at the young man in front of her curiously.
Mu Qingxiao touched the Tree of God with his palm and felt the rich vitality flowing in it. He was surprised.
Because of his mental cultivation method, he could sense things in nature. Although the vitality in the Tree of God was strong, it was much weaker than the 100-million-year-old Tree of God in his small world.
Moreover, the 100-million-year-old Tree of God was still growing. They couldn't be compared at all.
Mu Qingxiao carefully sensed the aura of the Tree of God. He looked at Xi Yao in surprise and said, "Do you know the origin of this Tree of God?"
"I've been here for a long time …"
A hint of confusion flashed through Xi Yao's eyes under the veil. She continued, "I don't know how long I've been here. When I was conscious, I was already here. I've been taking care of this tree, but I don't know where it came from."
Mu Qingxiao's starry eyes flashed with disappointment as soon as he finished speaking.
The life force of the Tree of God could indeed affect the entire God Realm. Moreover, there was a vast life force within the body of the woman in front of him that was extremely similar to the Tree of God.
It was the same for Tang Xue. She was born from the fruit of the Tree of God, so Xi Yao, who was guarding the Tree of God, was most likely born from the fruit of the Tree of God as well.
"Why are you protecting this divine tree?"
Xi Yao found Mu Qingxiao's question a little strange. She stared at him and shook her head.
"I don't know. I feel like this is something I should do."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingxiao fell into deep thought.
According to ancient records, the Tree of God was guarded by a goddess. Xi Yao had been here for an incomparably long time. It was likely that even the so-called gods of the God Realm didn't know her origins.
Although the Tree of God possessed an extremely vigorous life force, having a hundred-million-year-old Tree of God in this small world made him completely disappointed.
Even if he took away the Tree of God, he wouldn't gain much.
Moreover, the Tree of God was closely related to the environment of the God Realm. Taking it away was undoubtedly the same as taking away their lives.
If the God Realm fell, the six realms would become five and order would be thrown into chaos. When that happened, it would be inevitable that all living beings would be plunged into misery and suffering.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingxiao looked at Xi Yao and asked, "Miss, do you have a Wind Pearl?"
Surprise flashed through her eyes under the veil. She was clearly curious as to how Mu Qingxiao had found out.
She had never told anyone about the Wind Pearl, not even Fei Peng.
"That's right. Are you here for the Wind Pearl?"
Looking at the young man in front of her, Xi Yao looked in the direction of the Southern Heaven's Gate. No wonder the alarm went off in the God Realm just now.
However, if he dared to barge into the God Realm just for a Wind Pearl, he was either crazy or had something to rely on. Since he was able to pass through the Southern Heaven's Gate, it should be the latter.
"I can give you the Wind Pearl, but I hope you don't have any ideas about the Tree of God. It is the foundation of the God Realm …"
"Originally, I did come for the Tree of God, but now I'm a little disappointed. I agree to your request."
Hearing this, Xi Yao heaved a sigh of relief. Her slender fingers formed a series of seals in the void.
Then, a green bead about the size of an Inner Core appeared in the void, emitting green light.
The Wind Pearl.
Looking at the pearl in the void, Mu Qingxiao waved his sleeve and held the Wind Pearl in his hand.
"Ding! Successfully plundering the Wind Pearl. Reward: 200000 plundering points."
"I see."
Feeling the rich vitality in the Wind Pearl, Mu Qingxiao pondered. Two thoughts connected in his mind and he seemed to have thought of a possibility.
"Wind Pearl, Shennong Cauldron, Tree of God, Xi Yao …"
Putting aside his complicated thoughts, Mu Qingxiao put away the Wind Pearl. Sensing a few auras coming from the east toward the Tree of God, the space distorted and he disappeared.
As soon as Mu Qingxiao left, Fei Peng and many Earth Immortals from the God Realm rushed over.
Seeing Xi Yao standing in front of the Tree of God, Fei Peng hurried over and said, "Xi Yao, did a young man come here just now?"
"He has already left."
Hearing this, the deities looked at each other in dismay, instantly feeling confused.
…
…
After leaving the God Realm, Mu Qingxiao did not stop. After opening the Space Gate, he flew down to Mount Kunlun.
In a few breaths' time, he landed on the snowy peak. A black lotus appeared from between his eyebrows and he sat down cross-legged.
He clenched his fist, and a jade-green bead appeared in his hand.
The Wind Spirit Pearl wasn't just a literal name. It contained a vast amount of life force.
If one had to compare, the vitality contained in a Wind Pearl was equivalent to tens of thousands of Dragon Essences.
After thinking for a while, Mu Qingxiao put away the lotus. Under the white light, he appeared in the hazy Small World.
Back in the Small World, Mu Qingxiao looked at the Hundred-Million-Year-Old Tree of God and smiled.
In a flash, he came to the root of the Tree of God and placed the Wind Pearl in the Hundred-Million-Year-Old Tree of God.
Then, he took out the shell-like Earth Pearl and buried it in the soil under the Tree of God.
Spirit Pearls had the ability to store natural energy, while Wind Spirit Pearls had the ability to store life energy. Earth Spirit Pearls, on the other hand, had the ability to store rich earth energy.
Although he did not care for the energy in the Spiritual Pearls, they were treasures to his wives.
