Chapter 423: World Tree and the Fairies (2/2)
He was ashamed that his internal voice was not suited for the song, but the fairies seemed to catch the right tunes and notes right away.
Just like that, everything around him turned into a Disney World. Small fairies began singing in unison and danced in the sky.
Miaomiao sat there and closed his eyes, enjoying the voices of the little creatures.
Ding
[Your heart and mind have been cleansed by the purity of Wood Fairies.]
[Your Holy Light Element has been strengthened.]
[Your soul dantian has been strengthened.]
[Your dantian capacity has been expanded.]
[Your Luck Point has increased by 10.]
The notification messages ruined his mood. He wanted a moment of peace, not the report of his cultivation progress.
Ding
[Your peace-loving nature lightens Macho Joshua's mood.]
[OG-Buddha's heart leaps in joy after witnessing your good deeds.]
[The Monkey King enjoys the songs.]
[Many Orthodox and Pacifist Immortals are delighted to see a new world tree and pure creatures.]
[Anonymous Devil laughs at you for behaving like a Disney Princess.]
[2,500 1st-grade soul stones have been donated and added to the unpaid balance.]
”Oh, well. Since they want me to be rich, I don't mind.”
Miaomiao faintly smiled before he excused himself from the massive army of fairies.
The eyes of these little glowing creatures were brim in tears. They gazed at Miaomiao with puppy eyes.
[Will you come back to sing for us again?]
[Will you tell us another story?]
The innocent look of the fairies almost broke Miaomiao's heart. He bitterly smiled, ”I'll be back when I'm free. Stay safe, and don't wander anywhere off on your own. Ask the kind ents to protect you when you need to go somewhere, okay?”
The little babies sobbed and obediently returned to the flower field and the world tree.
Miaomiao gazed at the fairies with a heavy heart. He felt bad, but he had to return home.
Only then, Miaomiao realized that something inside him had changed a lot after he had experienced a lifetime of Cernun.
He became softer.
He grew kinder.
He somewhat loved nature and trees now.
Miaomiao glanced at the tall tree before him and sighed.
'Dammit, Cernun. Now, I'm becoming a softie like you. Well, I don't hate it, though.'
The new feeling was calmer, soother, and easier to cope with than when he was an MMA fighter, who only desired violence.
While Miaomiao basked the Holy Light of Cernun's tree leaves, the cracked Heavenly Fate Core of Lu Fengxian slowly regained power.
Miaomiao was unaware of the changes, but it was 50% repaired! Moreover, his dragon wings glowed in silver light and dark light as if a heavenly fishes of yin yang was hiding behind him.
…
After Miaomiao returned to Siren City, the dryads and many creatures began settling down in the inner perimeter of the forest. All of them tried to get as closer to the world tree as possible as the Holy Light from the top of the tree continuously increased their vigor.
The trees, plants, herbs, and wildflowers continued to expand. Soon, it reached the mountain foot of Mount Hua and the arena platform in front of Siren City.
Fortunately, the greeneries stopped expanding after they had occupied 100 square kilometers with the world tree at its center.
However, the sudden appearance of the world tree alarmed everyone from the other cities.
At the top of Mount Hua Sect, Ling Cao had been observing the world tree from a distance.
Ling Cao had survived the onslaught of the Oni Army from the north and managed to retreat home unharmed. However, some of his colleagues fell in the fight against an 8th-stage Oni.
Mount Hua Sect had lost so many cultivators, elders, and disciples from the conflict against Siren City. As such, Ling Cao regretted picking a fight with the demon city.
Still, it didn't change his goal, grudge, and ambition.
'Demon spawns of Siren City, you damn cowards! You and that deity must have been working together! You tricked us to retreat, and you ambushed us!'
Ling Cao misunderstood that the Oni Army of Wei Cao and Miaomiao were on the same side. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fist as he stared at the world tree.
Blinded by grudge and hatred, Ling Cao made an erratic decision. He called all remaining sect members and disciples to gather.
500 outer disciples gathered as requested by Ling Cao. However, all surviving inner disciples and elders had already left them.
One of the disciples was Ling Tianlong's sweetheart. She was also there at the gathering.
Ling Cao immediately got to the point, ”We'll migrate from this mountain.”
The disciples panicked, ”Senior, are we under attack?”
Ling Cao shook his head, ”Not yet, but we'll be under siege soon if we stay idly on this mountain. We have to leave, now!”
”!!!”
”Don't panic. Go back and pack your belongings. We'll leave this place through our private plane.”
”Private plane, sir?”
Ling Cao referred to the sect's precious secret realm, which served as a training ground for inner disciples and elders.
Unlike the dryad plane, there were multiples gates and portals, which connected to other places. Ling Cao wanted to use the plane as a secret passage to move his force out of the mountain.
”Yes, we'll leave through the plane.”
”Then, where will we go?”
Ling Cao gazed at the southeast region, where Sun Wentai used to live, ”Jianye City!”
