Chapter 1348 - Foundation for Generations
No one knew better than Elder Long what Liu Wuxie carried on his shoulders. Many could not even understand why he acted with such a high profile.
After all, most who joined the Heavenly Dragon Sect kept their heads low and cultivated in silence. However, Liu Wuxie had done the exact opposite, shattering records repeatedly and making waves across the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
Zhuge Ming took Liu Wuxie by the arm and left the martial field. They rode through the clouds toward the depths of the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the main hall.
Now that Liu Wuxie was at the third level of the Primal Origin Realm, even most inner elders could not compare to him. In sheer combat strength, he could kill a group of them in a split second.
They pierced the clouds and saw a majestic palace crowning the mountain's summit. This was the Heavenly Dragon Sect's tallest peak, steeped in dense spiritual energy, with celestial cranes gliding past it.
Pavilions ringed the mountain, and powerful, profound beasts kept watch. The sect reared them as flying mounts.
A massive platform stretched before the palace, its path paved with ancient stones etched in strange patterns. On either side stood two gigantic trees at least a hundred thousand years old.
The moment Liu Wuxie emerged, he sensed that both trees had birthed spirits. Their branches reached toward him, drawn by the Ancestral Tree. Elders in the vicinity traded startled looks; these were Heavenly Nether Divine Trees, so scarce that few existed across the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain.
The two trees had been guarding the main palace for hundreds of thousands of years and showed no friendly intent even to the sect master. Everyone was baffled to see them display such fondness for Liu Wuxie.
When Liu Wuxie gently stroked the branches, a bizarre scene unfolded: they wrapped around him, lifted him lightly, and poured wood-attribute energy into him.
Nourished by that flow, the Ancestral Tree grew larger and greener.
"He's a monster," many elders said, smiling bitterly as they stepped into the main hall.
