Chapter 101: Guardian Tree

Walking through a transportation portal, Xu Min and Ye Lin arrived within the deepest and darkest part of a forest Xu Min was starting to feel worried about what he had just stepped into

”We are back in the I mumbled in a very low voice, so low in fact Xu Min could only hear it because he was on high alert Although it made no sense for these Guardians to take him to a remote area and just kill him, he could not help but feel this would be what happened to him

”Have you been here before?” Xu Minjust shook his head without explaining anything further Whether or not he had so to say, he did not say it since the elder turned to look at the a cloak, it was hard to see whether or not he was looking at them with a stern expression or not Thus the three, twoon a sroup of beasts, but upon further inspection, it was a rather busy road The ground was covered by leaves It seeh it was barely stepped upon, but the path ide, and there were no signs of any ani, and the elder wereon the path none of them stepped hard and not a leaf was turned Since Xu Min and Ye Ling had stopped talking no sound could be heard, not even the norrand forest

They walked for what seeh, it only took them around one hour before the elder stopped in his tracks and looked to the side There was a massive tree at least five hundred ether could not reach all the way around it

The elder, looking at this tree and nodded his head He bowed deeply in front of him These actions caused Xu Min to be stunned at first, but upon re the scene he had seen in Cao Cao's hos too He followed suit and bowed towards the tree Even Ye Ling copied his action

”This is our Guardian Tree; it is the entrance to our Academy,” the elder explained for the first tis in the Immortal Ruins ”The Guardian Tree is as old as the Immortal Valley itself and has seen countless conflicts and tirown in harsh weathers and experienced torrential rains and forest fires Now it is the sovereign of all plants”

”This Guardian tree is the root and foundation of our sect Treat it with the respect it deserves”

As the elder finished speaking, the tree lowered its branches Soon it was possible for it to touch the elder and Xu Min It paid absolutely no attention to Ye Ling

At this point, Xu Min was extre he had expected He had no idea what this tree was looking for, so his heart was beating rapidly while he stood still like a twig, not daring to utter any sound nor make any movements

It was not only Xu Min orried The elder felt his heart beat rapidly as well Just like Xu Min, he feared the verdict of the tree This particular elder had been very supportive of Xu Min during the Is He had been one of the speakers that suggested they take him in Nevertheless, it was not hih for their sect Only someone approved by the Guardian Tree could enter into the acade Xu Min,him seem as if he had been a part of the tree fro, but he did not coh his body The power entered hile cell of his being

This ancient power clearly did not belong to hie with his Qi to becoh his body to investigate his level of his power and the abilities he possessed

Slowly the ancient power started to seep out of his body This time it entered the leaves that covered hio of hiht; the branches no longer bending down

Xu Min was unaware of what had happened He did not know the type of energy that had been used nor did he understand what kind of power this ancient tree had He was unable to fully understand the purpose either Thus he waited patiently for the tree to ainst this tree, so all he could do was to wait

The Elder was evenon much better than Xu Min, and he also kne iiven any specific inforain approval now, he needed to be killed They could not afford to let anyone who knew even the slightest inforreatly interested in Xu Min and his potential, he was not willing to see such a talented individual die a less death As a result, he astutely and ireat expectations

Xu Min unaware of his possibly grie to becoo elsewhere to increase his strength He was incapable of knowing he would die if he failed

The tree, see beneath it, spent a lot of ti Xu Min was not a true member of the Guardians of the Immortal Valley, but after his visit to the Blood PaGoda, he could be considered alh the leaves and branches, and a gentle breeze swept past the elder and Xu Min Suddenly a portal appeared out of nowhere; right in front of the tree trunk and the elder heaved a heavy sigh of relief
