Chapter Thirty-Four: The Longevity Tree

  Thank you book friend "Da Qin Xianfeng" for the reward and three 9,000-word coupons for Cui Geng (this can be eaten!)

  Tomorrow at three o'clock! The update time is uncertain, but it will be updated! I'm so tired, going to rest first ~ Brothers waiting for the update, goodnight ~

  ——————

  The purpose of coming here is the legendary Divine Fruit. As long as you get the Divine Fruit, you can immediately gain two promotion points! I was worried before about how to come to White Cloud Peak and get the Divine Fruit, but I didn't expect to arrive in this manner.

  "Could it be that these guys knew the fierce beast was coming and withdrew first?" Jiang Xiaoyu muttered to himself.

  The indigenous people can leave at any time, but the Longevity Tree cannot! It takes root in one place, and even if it can be transplanted, it's not something that can be done in a short period of time. He quietly entered this small valley, starting to search for the location of the Longevity Tree.

  Although he knew that the Longevity Tree grew on White Cloud Peak, he didn't know its exact location and had to rely on himself to find it. However, with the fierce beasts chasing after him so urgently, how could he have so much time?

  Opportunity only comes once, this time the aborigines feared the ferocity of the fierce beasts, so they left their homeland. If there were no fierce beasts, it would be as difficult to come here unnoticed as climbing to heaven!

  Just as Jiang Xiaoyu was thinking, the system sent a prompt: Found the birthplace of the divine fruit, turn left and walk straight for 300 meters!

  "Awesome, bro!" Jiang Xiaoyu was instantly thrilled.

  He may not be able to tell east, south, west and north apart, but if he can't even tell left from right, he's done for! It seems like he's already jumped off the building. He teased himself in his mind, but Jiang Xiaoyu's footwork didn't stop.

  He ran all the way to the left, and after a while, five fierce beasts arrived at the valley where the indigenous people lived. The place was already empty, with only dense and empty caves left behind.

  Smelling Jiang Xiao Yu's breath, the five-headed ferocious beast stepped forward, and its surroundings were destroyed. Those natives saw it, I don't know how heartbroken they would be.

  Elsewhere, the natives gathered together, hiding in an underground cave that was so spacious it could accommodate over 10,000 people! The total number of natives was only a little over 6,000, which was more than enough!

  "Ancestor, don't we have a home anymore?" a little child asked in a milky voice.

  "Everything will be fine, just wait for this storm to pass and we'll rebuild our home!" The elder said with certainty. However, a hint of sorrow flashed in his eyes, it's all because of those outsiders who practice the dark arts! Why did they have to provoke those fierce beasts?!

  Another elder said worriedly: "What I'm most worried about now is what to do with the Longevity Tree. The time of the Divine Fruit's birth is not far away, just in the next few days."

  "Don't worry! That outsider cultivator is being hunted by fierce beasts, it won't be long before he leaves this place. Does he have the time to wait for the Longevity Tree to bear fruit?" An elderly tribe elder comforted.

  That old man of the ethnic group frowned and said: "It's waiting in vain, but if an outsider cultivator passes by from there, what should be done if the ferocious beast destroys the Longevity Tree?"

  "The Evergreen Tree has been around since what year, this point cannot be investigated, but our ancestors' ancient books have records, at least it existed in the distant past. It has been passed down to the present without falling, it must have its extraordinary aspects!" The elderly tribe member said confidently.

  In the face of time, who can resist? Even a fierce beast cannot withstand the erosion of time. Only through generation after generation of reproduction can life be prolonged. Any person or thing is so small in the face of time, and ultimately becomes nothing.

  This divine tree has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and it can be said that it is the longest-lived creature in the world! After hearing the words of this elder, some people finally put their minds at ease and stopped talking. They quietly waited for the disaster to pass, so they could see the sun again.

  A distance of 400 meters was nothing for Jiang Xiaoyu. After a short while, he had already seen the location of the Longevity Tree.

  That was a small mound, the mound wasn't very prominent, but on top of it stood an ancient tree emitting an aura of antiquity! Its branches and leaves were lush and dense, with green willow-like shoots, in full bloom!

  If you look closely, you will find that there are not many fruits on top.

  Walking to the foot of the Long Life Tree, Jiang Xiao Yu only then discovered that this ancient tree wasn't very tall and big, probably around four or five meters. Its leaves were snowflake-shaped, extremely beautiful. As if infected by the aura of this ancient tree, Jiang Xiao Yu's mouth corners slightly rose, carrying a thread of inexplicable joy.

  At this moment, he had forgotten that he was being hunted by a fierce beast and had also forgotten the purpose of his coming here. His mind was empty and unblemished. This state only lasted for a short while, and he immediately came to himself.

  "How strange, what's this feeling?" Jiang Xiaoyu woke up with a hint of doubt in her heart.

  But this feeling is good, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

  The fruit of the Long Life Tree is still unripe and has a way to go before it's mature. Picking it now would probably not have much effect. Jiang Xiaoyu jumped onto the tree, starting to search quickly.

  The fruit is not much, only about eight are left, this is what Jiang Xiaoyu saw. Of these eight fruits, only one is almost ripe and has started to turn red, looking very good, like a peach on Earth, but it's much bigger than a peach.

  "Roar!"

  The five furious roars shook Jiang Xiaoyu's eardrums. The fierce beasts had caught up with him, but for some reason, they didn't rush over to kill him immediately, keeping a distance of twenty meters from the ancient tree without getting any closer!

  Looking at their expressions, they seem to be in awe of this ancient tree, with an inexplicable concern.

  "Damn it's so fast!" Jiang Xiaoyu helplessly shook his head, just as he was about to continue running, he suddenly discovered that this group of fierce beasts did not charge up!

  "What's going on?"

  He had originally planned everything out, intending to lead this group of ferocious beasts in circles around White Cloud Peak until the ancient tree matured. But now, things have changed far beyond his expectations.

  Could this ancient tree be dangerous? Jiang Xiaoyu's heart suddenly felt a chill, after all, beasts' perception of danger far surpasses that of humans. And what's more, it was these ferocious beasts?

  But he soon calmed down. If this tree was dangerous, the indigenous people wouldn't have revered it as a sacred tree, and Shi Huang would have warned him too.

  Hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xiaoyu jumped down from the tree and kept a distance of three meters from the Long Life Tree, and about twenty-three meters away from the fierce beasts. He sat directly on the ground with a thud, finally able to rest properly.

  Some people have arrived one after another, but there are five huge beasts blocking the way, and no one dares to get close. They can only gaze at this ancient divine tree from a distance.

  "This is the Longevity Tree! The legendary divine tree that can give birth to divine objects like the Divine Fruit!" Some of the older cultivators were excited to death.

  Their apertures are not fully open, and after swallowing this fruit, they may be able to reverse the sky for a while, increase their potential, and advance to a higher level!

  Compared to others, some of the exceptionally talented individuals didn't have much emotional fluctuation, they were simply shocked by this ancient tree. Having existed for such a long time, it was still able to maintain its appearance, with lush green leaves and an extraordinary grandeur!

  "It's worth visiting this ancient site just to see such a divine object!"

  The existence of the Long Life Tree is well-known to everyone, it's too famous, and it's simply a heaven-defying object! However, it has been lost in the outside world for a long time. If not for Shi Huang spreading the news that there was a divine fruit among the ancient ruins, many people would have thought that it no longer existed in the world!

  "What can prove that it is the Longevity Tree that existed in ancient times? Maybe it's just a sapling, passed down."

  One of them didn't think much of it and said so. Afterwards, he was given the cold shoulder by many people, who looked at him with disdain.

  "You've just come out to gain experience, haven't you? Your knowledge is so shallow! In ancient times, the Longevity Tree still existed in the world. A great expert once obtained it and wanted to massively propagate this tree, but there was no way to do so! It's one-of-a-kind in the world!"

  That person was taken aback, and then his face suddenly flushed red for a moment, but he really didn't know this.

  "Those five ferocious beasts didn't dare to get close, probably because they were intimidated by the aura of the Longevity Tree!" The crowd speculated.

  As soon as the man's voice fell, the lion-like fierce beast took a step forward! One step was more than three meters, and it was another three meters closer to the Longevity Tree. Then it stopped and didn't continue to approach.

  "Huh?" Jiang Xiaoyu's expression changed.

  Those four ferocious beasts didn't dare get close, but the lion-headed beast seemed to want to challenge the ancient tree's majesty!

  Jiang Xiaoyu's mood was extremely tense, he furrowed his brow, not expecting this strange beast to be so powerful! However, the opponent didn't move again, as if it wanted to test something.

  After a short while, the lion-headed beast saw that the ancient tree seemed to be motionless, so it took another step forward!

  "What is it going to do?"

  "This ferocious beast has a curious appearance, and ancient books seem to have never recorded this ferocious beast. Could it be that it's a new species of ferocious beast among the ancient relics?"

  The other party's move shocked many people, at first one step back was nothing, but now another step forward, making everyone involuntarily start guessing the origin of this fierce beast.

  Those four ferocious beasts saw that the other side took two steps forward without any danger, and they also followed suit. The flesh and blood of Iron Armored King Dragon was too tempting, it must be obtained! That human was right in front of them, and with just a moment's effort, they could capture him!

  After taking two steps forward, the four ferocious beasts calmed down and didn't overstep by half a step. If you observe carefully, you'll find that the distance these four took was slightly shorter than that of the lion-like beast.

  The lion-headed beast had no expression on its face as it took another step forward.

  Jiang Xiaoyu could no longer sit still, he stood up, already prepared to make a run for it.

  At this time, a visible green wave emerged abruptly. They took the ancient tree as the center and began to spread out, with each wave being extremely gorgeous!

  The five-headed ferocious beast changed its expression drastically, as if it had encountered something terrifying. It let out a fearful low growl and its body involuntarily retreated backwards.

  At this moment, a thick and large green ancient vine burst out of the ground behind them, blocking their retreating figures!

  The Longevity Tree displays its divine power!
