1057 Rainbow Holy Tree! (1/2)
From Miao Huan Yu's warning, Young Master Jun finally learned why the ”candidate” could only be one person. Because it was usually best if this path was traversed alone. Two person was possible, and three was stretching it. But there could be no more than three!
Once this number limit was passed, they would never be able to see the Rainbow Holy Tree!
Of course, the three people limit did not include the Spiritual Herbal Gardens Lord. In other words, it was actually still possible to squeeze one more person into Jun Mo Xie's group. However… after the last time the Holy Tree protested, no one had tried to do that again. In fact, only one person went in each time.
This time, Miao Huan Yu was already making a huge exception for the first time in several hundred years by bringing two people!
Miao Huan Yu walked in the center. Miao Xiao Miao was on his left and Jun Mo Xie was on his right.
The things in this world were no different from the outside world. There was a comfortable feeling when stepping on the grass. The smells and sights of the lustrous surroundings caused Jun Mo Xie to feel that this place was not an illusion and was completely real!
After walking for a moment, by the time they turned around to look, the path behind them was already completely covered in a layer of mist… it was impossible to see the people whom they had come in with…
”This area is the territory of the Holy Tree. In the entire Spiritual Herbal Gardens, this can be considered the most mystical place.” Miao Huan Yu took a step out and said. ”These verdant plains are vast and endless, but there isn't a single stalk of spirit herbs growing here! Because the Holy Tree will not allow any spirit herbs to grow on its territory!
Jun Mo Xie and Miao Xiao Miao had already noticed the strangeness long ago. When they first came in, they noticed that the two sides of the forest were filled with precious spirit herbs everywhere. But when they reached here, there wasn't a single one at all. Even the most common spirit grass was nowhere to be seen.
When they heard Miao Huan Yu's explanation, the two of them instantly realized that this was the Rainbow Holy Tree's work! Exchanging a brief glance, their thought to themselves: ”So this Rainbow Holy Tree is actually a selfish fellow…”
But as Jun Mo Xie thought about it, he understood the logic as well. Some of the stronger Xuan Beasts did not permit the existence of any other Xuan Beasts in their territory. Once any other Xuan Beasts entered their domain, a huge fight would instantly break out. A spirit plant with powerful Spiritual Qi could also similarly make it hard for other spirit plants to grow around them! The only thing was that this Rainbow Holy Tree was even more oppressive, and its field of control was even wider…
All of a sudden, a fresh Spiritual Qi wafted over from a distance away, and Miao Huan Yu smiled. ”We're here.”
The two raised their heads and looked over. In the center of the vast prairie, where nothing else existed, there was a large tree that could definitely be considered 'gigantic'!
This tree was completely straight and was at least over a hundred meters tall! Its branches were filled with verdant leaves, and its branches seemed to touch the skies!
This gigantic tree's leaves were strangely shaped, with nine sharp points, and which each emanated a different color constantly. At one point, it would look completely normal and green, but in the next moment, it would be red, or black, or purple…
The leaves on this tree were actually switching colors constantly!
As the three got nearer, all the leaves suddenly turned around in an instant, and the entire tree even shook for a moment. It was as if a giant had turned around to look at little ants that had caught its attention…
Young Master Jun froze for a moment, and his eyes widened. F*ck! A tree can actually be so arrogant! This is too human-like…
Jun Mo Xie had to admit that he had truly never seen a tree like this that could reach over a hundred meters tall in the two worlds that he had experienced so far… If he were to chop this tree down, how many king sized beds could he make…
The leaves rustled loudly, and a clear voice rang out. ”Little kids of the Misty Illusory Manor, you've come to see this Lord Holy Tree again… what good stuff have you brought for this old tree this time…”
”Respected Lord Holy Tree, today is the once a century day of the Spiritual Herbal Gardens again. In order to better serve Lord Holy Tree, the Misty Illusory Manor has chosen two talented youths to test their compatibility towards your Lordship. May Lord Holy Tree take a look at them with your all-knowing eyes of wisdom and determine the path of the Spiritual Herbal Gardens for the next millennia.” Miao Huan Yu bowed lightly and said with utmost respect to the tree.
Jun Mo Xie narrowed his eyes as he looked at this scene with wonder… Was this a fairytale? A tree could actually understand human speech? And speak the human tongue as well? Furthermore, Miao Huan Yu was still acting so respectfully towards it…
Could this thing understand him?
The Rainbow Holy Tree's leaves rustled again, and the entire tree even swayed visibly for a moment. In that moment, the three people could clearly feel that this tree seemed to be in a very happy mood! In fact, it seemed to be very agitated as well…
Miao Huan Yu was somewhat shocked. Such a situation had never occurred in the past, ah. Could it be that his respectful attitude had caused it to become so happy? But he also used similar words in the past as well, ah… yet he'd never seen it this happy before…
The leaves rustled noisily, as if tens of thousands of people were chattering. ”Those two juniors, come forward a step!”
