Chapter 6633 Sacred Companion Tree

As Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength slowly entered the withered tree, its interior appeared in his mind.

There were countless veins throughout the tree, like a complex web of dried-up riverbeds. There was no vitality left within this sacred tree.

Only after probing extremely deep did Long Chen sense that the interior of the immense tree formed its own world. At the center of this inner world, Long Chen saw a small, date-shaped red crystal.

This was its tree-heart—the equivalent of a human heart.

For tree-shaped cultivators, their core was located in the trunk and the roots, but the precise location of the tree-heart depended on the path of cultivation. If it relied on absorbing the energy of the heavens, the tree-heart was in the trunk. If it relied on absorbing the energy of the earth, it was located in the roots.

If it was an existence that absorbed equal amounts of energy from heaven and earth, then such a tree had two hearts.

This Heavenly Maple Divine Tree’s tree-heart was located in its trunk, signifying that it mostly absorbed the power of the heavens.

In truth, just from its name alone, people could deduce this.

Just as the assistant race leaders had said, the Heavenly Maple Divine Tree was in a state of quasi-death. Its tree-heart lay dormant. Yet, Long Chen detected the faintest trace of life pulsing within it.

It had compressed its remaining vitality into a minuscule seed to resist the erosion of time. That was how it had survived for so long.

However, when Long Chen tried to communicate with it, there was no response. In its current condition, awakening it forcibly would mean it would use up all its energy and would soon perish. Reviving it was no simple matter.

Long Chen’s primal chaos space quivered slightly. Pure life energy flowed through his arm and slowly entered the withered tree, heading towards the tree-heart.

Long Chen’s current control over the primal chaos space had grown immensely. He no longer needed to dig out dirt from the primal chaos space to nourish the tree. He could directly mobilize its boundless life energy.

As this pure life energy slowly approached the tree-heart, the tree-heart shuddered. Like a dry desert receiving a heavy rain, it crazily devoured this energy.

However, this was just a natural instinct of the tree-heart. The soul inside of it had yet to awaken.

As more life energy entered it, the tree-heart gradually started to pulse with life once more.

Finally, the Heavenly Maple Divine Tree produced spiritual fluctuations and responded to Long Chen. However, Long Chen was surprised to find that this mighty tree’s spiritual fluctuations were extremely vague.

“Don’t tell me... it is still a child?” Long Chen jumped in shock. If this was still a sapling, how big would it become once fully grown?

Despite his extensive knowledge, Long Chen had never encountered any record of the Heavenly Maple Divine Tree. Its origins were completely unknown to him.

Furthermore, this land had been abandoned for ages, its history lost. No one even knew how Heavenly Maple Valley had come to be. Yet, the fact that an entire world bore its name meant this tree’s origins were anything but ordinary.

As the tree’s soul recovered, Long Chen increased the flow of life energy. What started as scattered droplets became a trickling stream, then a mighty river. Finally, when the tree’s hunger grew, he poured into it like an unending sea.

The tree started to shake as an air of life spread from it.

Its withered branches shone as old bark peeled away, replaced by fresh growth. The new bark was green. New buds sprouted, and they were violet.

In a short hour, the once-withered tree was thrumming with life, exuding a violet light that turned these hellish training grounds into a wonderland.

Everyone’s training stopped. They felt the violet blood in their bodies unleashing a strange fluctuation.

As the violet maple leaves swayed, their violet blood fluctuated like the tide.

Long Chen stopped the flow of life energy. It was not that he wished to stop, but that the Heavenly Maple Divine Tree was refusing more.

It seemed to be trying to convey something to him, but he could not comprehend its meaning.

An enormous leaf floated down. It was big enough to cover an entire hill. But as it floated down, it slowly shrank.

In the end, it landed in front of Luo Ningshuang.

Feeling a call, she slowly walked over. That maple leaf then shrank into the size of a petal and slowly merged into her forehead.

A violet maple-leaf sigil appeared there.

In that instant, Long Chen sensed his mother’s aura fuse completely with the Heavenly Maple Divine Tree. There was no longer any separation between them.

“My unfilial son, this time... you’ve done something great for the violet blood race,” Luo Ningshuang said, her voice trembling from excitement.

“Mom, what is this tree?” asked Long Chen hastily.

Luo Ningshuang drew a deep breath. It took her a long time to settle her emotions.

Then, she looked back at the stunned disciples and shouted, “What are you looking at?! Keep training!”

After that, she walked over to the Heavenly Maple Divine Tree and touched its trunk. She emotionally said, “No wonder your dad said that you’d give me a nice surprise when you arrived. It seems that he knew of this tree’s origins from the start. Just now, the Heavenly Maple Divine Tree formed a connection with my soul. It is the sacred companion tree of the violet blood race.

“To think we never realized we possessed such an important sacred tree. Even Sovereign Mountain doesn’t have one. There must be secrets hidden behind this.”

After a brief stop, she continued, “This Heavenly Maple Divine Tree requires the bloodline power of our violet blood race to grow. At the same time, it will release the soul nourishing qi that our violet blood race requires.”

“You also know that our violet blood race lacks explosiveness. The Heavenly Maple Divine Tree can help us make up for that weakness.

“In addition, it has recognized me as its master. As it grows stronger, I will also grow stronger. While it doesn’t have offensive abilities, it does have powerful supportive abilities. In terms of assisting cultivation or in driving off powerful foes, it is incredible.

“Hehe, in the future, I’ll no longer need to teach these little brats with a whip in hand. I can just stay in the tree and have the Heavenly Maple Divine Tree whip anyone slacking off.”

Luo Ningshuang was so excited that her words became a bit crazy. However, Long Chen understood the crux of things. It seemed that this Heavenly Maple Divine Tree was a priceless treasure to the violet blood race.

“Then why couldn’t I understand it? Furthermore, since I saved it, why didn’t it acknowledge me as master?” Long Chen asked, acting displeased.

“You smelly brat, are you getting jealous of your mom? You’re asking for a spanking, is that it?”

Luo Ningshuang waved that stick in her hand, but she ultimately was unwilling to use it on Long Chen.

She solemnly said, “The Heavenly Maple Divine Tree is deeply connected to the violet blood race. Only those whose bloodlines are extremely pure can grow close to it. You have extremely pure violet blood, but you also have the Jiuli bloodline and the dragon race’s blood in you, so it could not communicate with you.”

Luo Ningshuang also said that the Heavenly Maple Divine Tree was starving, not for more life energy, but for the violet blood energy. The violet blood race also had many experts who could become stronger through its elevation of the soul. They would have to quickly get to work.

Thinking of how the violet blood race would soon soar, Luo Ningshuang was incredibly excited.

Long Chen felt a bit conflicted though. Their enemies had yet to show themselves. They were not in a good position to reveal the Heavenly Maple Divine Tree. Just what should they do?

It was at this time that all of Heavenly Maple Valley shuddered. Sharp auras rose in the vicinity one after another.

“They’re here?”

Long Chen was delighted. They really had picked the right time. He immediately flew out toward the entrance.
