Nathan Island.
Deep in the forest.
"Duo 'er …" Windsor stood on a boulder covered in moss and gazed at the thick, ancient tree that constantly emitted a faint glow in the Mutant's eyes.
"Although I haven't entered this place for many years and have never seen the sacred tree that is closely related to the Nathan King, according to the rumors I heard on the island, this … should be the sacred tree that is worshipped as a totem by the Nathan Islanders."
"… Doesn't seem to be anything special?" Chen Duo also jumped onto the stone and looked in the direction Windsor was pointing at. She saw the sacred tree not far away, which looked no different from an ordinary ancient tree except that it was constantly emitting a faint light.
"It's said that …" Windsor stroked her chin thoughtfully.
"It is closely related to the existence of the Nathan King and can even choose a king on the island as though it has its own consciousness. Besides, during the Nathan King's' inheritance ceremony '… I heard that the Nathan King was recognized as the new king after he broke the tree branch and killed the original king with his own hands."
"… Can this still be considered an inheritance?" Chen Duo recalled the explanation of the word 'inheritance' in a book and couldn't help but look at Windsor dubiously.
"… Who knows? But that should be the rule." Windsor shrugged helplessly when she saw this.
However.
At this moment.
Liu Xiaojiang's voice sounded from behind the two young ladies.
"It doesn't sound reasonable and can't be considered a normal inheritance ceremony. But in fact … This is also considered a consideration for the future of Nathan Island."
"After all, if the Nathan King chosen by the sacred tree is mediocre and can't lead the Nathan Islanders to a better future, this special inheritance ceremony … can also be considered as a reasonable explanation for the abolition of the old king. It can also allow the Nathan King to work hard to improve himself."
"I just don't know …"
"Did Nathan Wei come up with this inheritance ceremony himself or was it a rule set by the Nathan Islanders under the guidance of the sacred tree? But if it were me … I think this matter is more inclined to the former, regardless of the explanation that Nathan Island gave to the outside world."
"Big Brother Xiao Jiang!" Chen Duo jumped off the boulder as soon as she saw Liu Xiaojiang.
"Has the matter over there been resolved …"
"Ah …" The dark golden glow in Liu Xiaojiang's eyes gradually faded as he gazed at the sacred tree. Then, he nodded to Chen Duo and said.
"Liuku Immortal Thief …"
"For the time being, you're the only one who knows how to use it …"
As he said that,
He reached out to rub Chen Duo's head and said gently, "Don't worry.
"Duo Er, you have to cultivate this Saint Thief well. Combined with the body constitution that I have carefully improved for you, as long as you can cultivate this Liuku Immortal Thief to great success, catching up to me in the future … isn't impossible."
.... Chen Duo would never refuse Liu Xiaojiang's request. Even though she didn't think she could compare to Liu Xiaojiang, she still nodded vigorously in response to Brother Xiaojiang's request.
"Master …" Windsor looked at Chen Duo enviously. Then, she sorted out her emotions and walked to Liu Xiaojiang.
"Are the two guys hiding on the island dead? This sacred tree that Nathan worshiped as a totem … Don't tell me you want to uproot it too?"
"Do you have any objections?" Liu Xiaojiang didn't ignore someone like Windsor who was also willing to follow him.
"After all, this is a sacred object that even Nathan Wei values very much. If we can figure out what's so special about this thing, it might provide us with some possible help …" Windsor saw that Liu Xiaojiang didn't blame her and immediately explained.
"Master …"
"I once heard a rumor on the island that the reason why Nathan King was the king of Nathan Island, apart from the fact that he might have been extremely powerful at that time, the reason why he could walk in front of all the islanders … seems to be related to this sacred tree."
"Are you talking about its ability?" Liu Xiaojiang shook his head with a smile.
"I've heard about this before coming here. Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I've confirmed it. It is indeed very helpful for ordinary people's cultivation. Furthermore, due to the passage of time and the previous Nathan Kings, it is somewhat similar to the situation of Mount Longhu's Celestial Master."
"But this thing … isn't that important to you and me anymore."
"After all, even if we rely on cultivation and the experiences of our predecessors to comprehend the Dao in the end, it is absolutely impossible for unusual people like you and me who aren't ordinary people … to ascend to heaven. Instead, it will cause us more trouble and we won't be able to firm the path under our feet."
As he said that.
Under the confused gazes of Windsor and Chen Duo, he suddenly extended his arm into the rippling space and pulled out a sword that emanated a golden radiance and sacred aura.
But, in the next moment …
In the eyes of Windsor and Chen Duo, this longsword that was full of sacred and noble aura gradually dimmed its golden radiance in Liu Xiaojiang's hand. Then, it was accompanied by wisps of black gas that turned the sword pitch-black. Finally, in Liu Xiaojiang's hand, it turned into a simple black longsword.
"Magic weapon?" Chen Duo looked at the straight black longsword in Liu Xiaojiang's hand. She, who had seen many magic weapons in Green Touring Village, couldn't help but be a little puzzled. She didn't expect her Brother Xiao Jiang to have such a strange magic weapon.
Little did she know..,
When Windsor saw the original appearance of the black longsword, she was already stunned by this thing. Now, she stared at the black longsword in Liu Xiaojiang's hand. She had undoubtedly guessed what this longsword that originally emitted a golden radiance and sacred aura was.
This was clearly the legendary holy sword that only one person in the church could use …
"No, it's not a magic weapon. Strictly speaking, this thing should be considered a divine weapon." Liu Xiaojiang held the longsword and flicked the blade with his finger in satisfaction.
"However, it's not a divine weapon in the truest sense of the word. It's just a powerful weapon that the people of the Church tried their best to collect materials to create according to the scriptures. But by chance … they met a guy who could nourish it with divine power, so it barely meets the standard of a divine weapon."
"…" Windsor was speechless.
"Master, could it be that woman from the church? Could it be that she has already been …"
"Well, just before I met you, I had a fight with that woman and was almost beaten up by her. Fortunately, in the end … I won," Liu Xiaojiang said disapprovingly.
"Ha … Haha …" Windsor suddenly felt that she had accumulated a lot of good karma in her previous life by not dying in the hands of Liu Xiaojiang when she was sent out to carry out a mission by Na Senwei.
If she had known that even the woman from the church couldn't defeat Liu Xiaojiang, she definitely wouldn't have followed the others and ran over to fight against Liu Xiaojiang …
Then,
Liu Xiaojiang ignored the strange look in Windsor's eyes and the woman in the Interior who was flustered and exasperated because of the holy sword. He walked forward calmly … and slashed at the sacred tree that Na Seng worshipped as a totem not far away.
In an instant,
A huge pitch-black slash quickly shot at the sacred tree, easily cutting off the abnormally thick ancient tree and the surrounding trees that were connected to it neatly from the roots.
In addition, after the huge slash,
An extremely strange black flame even appeared on the cross-section of the severed sacred tree and the surrounding trees. In just a few dozen seconds, it strangely burned all the targets into ashes without causing a big fire …
