1734 The Complete Horn of the Deer God (1/2)

Little Moon Moth Phoenix was now able to fly higher without having to worry about the Mountain Crusher Ruler.
Only three mountains were left at their current height. Mo Fan glanced at them and noticed a strange ancient tree.
Astonishingly enough, the tree was growing right on top of the clouds. Its roots were intertwined throughout the clouds, its twisting trunk having branches extending out from the mountain or meandering upwards.
”That's the Tree of Vows!” Lingling declared confidently.
”Are we almost at the Skycloud Realm already?” Mo Fan asked.
”Mm, the Skycloud Realm is just ahead, but apparently, we must rely on the special tall trees to move around. Otherwise, the Wind of Sorrow will freeze everything in the Skycloud Realm,” Lingling said.
The greater the altitude, the lower the temperature, especially when the strange Wind of Sorrow was around. The temperature was enough to stop a living creature's blood from flowing, hence even the Ruler-level creatures struggled to fly at this height.
Mo Fan soon noticed a few Ruler-level winged beasts heading toward the towering trees. They circled the splayed branches, using them as a cover from the fierce Wind of Sorrow.
”Let's head over, too. I think we should also be able to find what we have come for,” Zhao Manyan said.
The Tree of Vows was their goal. They could not care less about anything else.
Little Moon Moth Phoenix approached the Tree of Vows and landed on a huge colorful leaf. The leaf directly prevented the icy Wind of Sorrow from striking Little Moon Moth Phoenix and the others.
”Is there really a Deer God here?” Mo Fan looked around, but did not find any trace of the Deer God.
”Speaking of which, don't you think the tree looks a little familiar?” Lingling wondered aloud.
Mo Fan looked up and studied the tree. He did recognize the tree from somewhere after taking a closer look. He soon realized something after thinking about it.
”This thing… it looks just like the demon tree, apart from the difference in color!” Mo Fan exclaimed.
The Giant Purple Linden!
The Tree of Vows' appearance was extremely similar to the Giant Purple Linden. If Lingling hadn't pointed it out, he would not have noticed it at all!
”What's going on here?” Zhao Manyan was terrified too.
”Stay calm,” Yu Shishi broke in. ”Little Moon Moth Phoenix has explained to me from what she can recall. The Tree of Vows and the Giant Purple Linden used to be a single tree with two trunks that existed between the Ashwood Wind Layer and the Skycloud Realm. However, the Giant Purple Linden was cursed by some powerful magic, forcing it to feed on blood and flesh just to survive, thus turning it into the demon tree you stumbled into...”
”Mm, that might be true! The Tree of Vows is empowered by the Psychic and Blessing Elements. Anyone who swears a vow under the Tree of Vows will imprint it in their soul,” Lingling informed them.
”Will it attack us, then?”
”No, don't worry. The Tree of Vows doesn't have any power to attack,” Yu Shishi told them.
