15 Chapter 15: The prophecy! (1/2)
”I... Have awakened!”
A voice that sounded more ancient and old than a hundred years old man was spoken out by the tree whom had already opened its eyes wide now.
”The millennium Yidara tree had regained.. its spirit?” muttered Hong Xin in a daze.
Hong Xin knew that the tree had already passed a thousand years old in age, and in his calculations before, about five thousand years old!
The millennium Yidara tree is an extremely rare species that will possess a spirit of its own by the time it reached 100 years old. After it reached its 1000 years old mark, the spirit will slowly fall into a slumber and will remain dormant for nine thousand years.
Only after reaching the age of 10,000 years old would it awake from its slumber reaching adulthood.
Yet, to think that this tree whom is only around 5000 years old to have already awakened?
How is this possible?
”Child.. come closer..” said the tree to Duan Li after it gazed at the latter for a long time.
Duan Li hesitated and turned towards the senior teachers. After he saw them nodding their heads in a solemn manner, Duan Li gritted his teeths together nervously as he walked forward slowly.
He stopped just before the tree.
”I sense.. a mysterious force.. dwelling in you..” the tree said with extreme ancientness, as if peering into the depths of his soul.
”Yes.. this force has entwined itself.. into your destiny.. but.. even then.. I cannot see the strings.. of fate.. touch upon you boy.. ” the tree peered deeper.
The tree continued to observe Duan Li as its frown deepened.
”It seems, it is this mysterious force.. that have awakened me.. even forcingrebirth.. such power.. and you.. chosen by it.. hmm.. mysterious.. ”
Slowly uttering each word like an old man, the tree closed its eyes for a while as the hall became silent to respect the tree in its contemplating state..
...
Outside the academy gate..
”T-thats esteemed knight, Ju Hai! One of the seven swords of the empire had also come?”
”Thats not all, look over there, that is Shi Dai! a titled knight and also part of the subjugation army!”
”Fang Liu, another esteemed knights?!”
”Di Luli, the peerless beauty from the Moon pavilion?”
”And thats... ”
The crowd was getting ever larger at this moment. If not for the two guardians standing straight with their backs like a pair of mountain, these people would have already rushed inside the academy to take a look.
”Che.. these two guardian would be impossible to pass through..” said the esteemed knight, Ju Hai as he floated up in the air as well as numerous other experts exuding mighty aura.
In fact, they could have easily flew over the gates and the wall surrounding the academy with their flight capabilities, but no one here are fool enough to dare to even try.
The reason for that is because the academy are being protected by numerous runic formations that will be fatal to ANY invaders.
Furthermore, these two guardian Knights are extremely brutal -slaughter class puppet at that. Driven entirely by several high purity spirit stones, their potential is around lower nascent grade.
If that was all, it wouldn't pose a problem for most of the experts as they too are of the same level, and some are even above or beyond that!
However, slaughter class.. now that is terrifying!
This is the type of puppet that will ignore their spiritual Qi usage and just blast waves after waves of lethal and high level skills continuously until they ran dry.
There will be bound to have numerous deaths and heavy casualties if they evertake action, and anyone who provoked them to do so, will instead be the one who are charged with the assault.
Thus, no one dared to enter the academy and could only observe from afar. They discussed some possible theories and conjectures regarding what had just happened inside the academy for the whole Jiu Empire to be engulfed in that white light before.
...
Creak!
The door of the hall was opened wide suddenly as a figure around the age of sixty years old came in along with several other elders of the academy behind him with solemn looks to them.
The figure who lead them in doesn't seem to be that impressive compared to the others. In fact, one could even hardly feel any sort of intimidating aura and ancientness to it that could usually be found on powerful experts of his age.
