Chapter 639 The Mother Tree

"If I truly had intentions, I wouldn't be spouting so much nonsense with you..." I said with a smile. "For me, having a senior like you by my side is even more significant..."

This was not a lie.

In fact, up to this point, apart from the Shepherd God Art, I seemed to possess nothing else.

I had no understanding of cultivation.

My progress thus far was entirely due to my own exploration.

However, I was acutely aware that such exploration had its limits.

In other words, at a certain point, I might go in the wrong direction, or I might be unable to continue cultivating.

If that happened, all my previous efforts would become meaningless.

But if there were an elder by my side, it would mean I had a teacher.

In that case, for many things I didn't understand, I could ask him.

I could avoid many detours and have a very clear direction for my progress.

This was of far greater significance to me.

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on the elder's face. "Are you telling the truth?"

"There's no point in lying to you..." I replied helplessly.

"You must understand that before you lies a crystal of powerful Shepherd God power. If you absorb it completely, you might break through several levels..." the elder said slowly. "If you abandon this opportunity, the next time might be uncertain..."

"This holds no significance for me..." I said with a smile. "I do want to improve my strength quickly now, but I am also aware that sometimes direction is more important than effort!"

Hearing this, the elder's expression finally showed a hint of emotion.

"Let's leave this place first. I'll see if the method I used can resolve this!" I said seriously.

The elder nodded. I felt a subtle fluctuation in the world before me, and in the next instant, my body jolted.

Then, to my surprise, I found myself back in the hot spring, in the same posture, still holding that small stone.

Lin Chun looked at me, then at the small stone. "How is it?"

"Was there anything unusual about me just now?" I asked, somewhat confused.

I distinctly remembered that I should have been in that place for a long time.

"Only a few seconds have passed. You've been like this the whole time, and I didn't dare to disturb you..." Lin Chun replied.

"I'll come up first!" I said, climbing out of the hot spring and holding the crystal of God power, the small stone, in my hand.

Then, I took out the Water of Life.

After such a long period of consumption, I didn't have much Water of Life left.

However, if I wanted to take the elder with me, the Water of Life might be a very good method.

Even though it pained me, in this situation, it was not the time to be stingy if it could solve the problem.

I took out a small bottle, poured some Water of Life into it, and then dropped the stone in.

The moment the stone was submerged, I could clearly feel a powerful fluctuation emanating from it.

In the next instant, a blinding light burst forth from the small bottle.

This light did not feel dangerous to me.

But upon seeing this, Lin Chun's expression changed drastically, and he pulled me back several steps.

Fortunately, the bright light did not last long. After a few breaths, it dissipated.

I looked at the water bottle in my hand with some confusion. Honestly, I didn't know if this Water of Life would have any effect on the elder.

Just then, I suddenly felt something flash across my body. The next moment, I felt a blow to my chest.

Immediately after, the elder's voice echoed in my mind.

"Boy, tell me, where did you get this thing?" the elder's voice resonated in my thoughts.

"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure..." I replied with a smile. "But there was a towering ancient tree there. I don't know its name, so I named it the Tree of Life?"

"Tree of Life?" The elder remained silent for a long time, then continued, "Describe to me what that tree looked like!"

Without hesitation, I simply described the appearance of the Tree of Life as I had seen it.

After my voice fell silent, the elder remained in contemplation.

After a long while, his voice slowly echoed in my mind, "That is not the Tree of Life. In our era, we called it the Divine Tree, also known as the Mother Tree!"

Upon hearing this designation, a multitude of thoughts flashed through my mind.

It seemed that tree was indeed not as simple as I had imagined!
