Chapter 979: A Dead Godspirit Tree (2/2)
Pointing at the piece of land that didn’t blend in, Jing Feiyang said, “These Demons were gathered here and talking about taking this withered tree that had broken into three pieces away. Apparently, they hoped to sell it to the Floragrims.”
With a single glance at the broken tree, Nie Tian immediately realized that this was a Godspirit Tree, which had been dead for who knew how long.
Godspirit Trees were Heaven Nourished grade spiritual materials, which could automatically channel wood power from the starry river and fuse it into the realm it was rooted in, vesting the land with vigorous life force and soon turning it into a blessed land for Floragrims or cultivators who practiced wood power.
According to the records in the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, Godspirit Trees could be easily found in the Desolate Antiquity Era. Because of them, many realms had been wreathed with rich wood power.
However, as time had passed, the Godspirit Trees had gradually died out for some reason. Today, they could only be found in Floragrim realms.
“Floragrim realms...” Nie Tian fixed his eyes on the piece of dried-up, cracked land that clearly didn’t belong to this continent, and then looked up at the grayish sky.
“If my speculation is correct, this piece of land must be a piece of the Floragrims’ homeland from the shattered top continent.
“The Godspirit Tree probably died, and was broken into three pieces when it crashed into this forest with this piece of land. The Godspirit Tree leaves in my spiritual sea must have sensed the existence of this Godspirit Tree, and grew excited. It’s just that it must have been dead for many years. Even though the Godspirit Tree leaves in my spiritual sea have led me to it, what can we do?”
With these thoughts, Nie Tian approached the withered Godspirit Tree that had broken into three pieces.
Two pieces were lying on the dried-up land, while the third piece was still rooted in the land. Its roots couldn’t be seen.
Nie Tian then walked to the two pieces on the ground. He activated wood power incantations as he placed his hand on them.
Nothing happened.
After pondering for a while, Nie Tian walked to the third piece of withered Godspirit Tree that was deeply rooted in the piece of dried-up land.
He lifted his hand once again before placing it on its shriveled, grayish-brown tree bark.
All of a sudden, the three Godspirit Tree leaves flew out of his wood power core. They followed his arm into his palm before entering the bottom piece of the Godspirit Tree.
Crisp cracking sounds then came from the grayish-brown tree trunk. Its shriveled bark started peeling off.
At the same time, Nie Tian’s wood power core was somehow stimulated. The concentrated wood power within it started to pour uncontrollably towards the Godspirit Tree’s roots.
Liquidized wood power rapidly vanished from his wood power core.
Nie Tian’s expression flickered.
If he continued to lose wood power at such a high speed, it wouldn’t be long before his wood power core was completely drained of its liquidized wood power.
“This won’t work.” Brows furrowed, he withdrew his hand decisively.
He summoned the seventy-two tree branches from within his ring of holding and planted them in the dried-up ground to form the Wood Thriving Formation.
In the next moment, as the spell formation was activated, rich wood power that wreathed the depths of the dense forest started converging from all directions.
Wisps of rich wood power flew into the Wood Thriving Formation, condensing into a thick, emerald green mist that was pure wood power essence.
It didn’t even need Nie Tian to do anything to flow towards the Godspirit Tree’s withered roots on its own.
At this moment, Nie Tian was struck by a thrilling idea that the Wood Thriving Formation had existed to serve the purpose of protecting Godspirit Trees in the first place!
He had gathered these tree branches from a floating land on the top continent, which was the Floragrims’ ancestral land. On that floating land, seventy-two incomparably huge ancient trees had formed a peculiar formation to gather wood power from their surroundings to protect that piece of land.
Later, as he had solved the mysteries of the Wood Thriving Formation, the floating land had shattered and fallen.
It was also at that time that the mysterious tree patterns that had carried the profound mysteries of the Wood Thriving Formation had fused into the seventy-two tree branches, which had ended up in his possession.
A bolt of lightning flashed across Nie Tian’s mind as he instantly figured out the whole thing.
“The seventy-two ancient trees in that ancestral land must have been protecting this Godspirit Tree. However, as that floating land fell apart and crashed into this forest, the withered Godspirit Tree broke into three pieces.
“Even though the three Godspirit Tree leaves in my wood power core didn’t come from this dead Godspirit Tree, they’ve somehow fused into its roots and reignited its life force, causing it to change.”
Due to the Wood Thriving Formation’s magical effects, rich wood power continued to gather from different parts of the dense forest.
The bottom part of the dead Godspirit Tree continued to shed piece after piece of its shriveled bark.
Watching this, Nie Tian’s eyes shone with the light of excitement.
