Chapter 148 - 150: Eating Fruit and Gaining a Son
The Spirit Fruit feast officially began amidst Mu Can’s anticipation.
First was a dance performed by a group of tree people, a team of them lightly plucking their own branches, producing wonderful sounds of music, which seemed to emanate from the deepest depths of nature. These sounds cleansed Mu Can’s soul, making him feel as if his body had become ethereal.
As the music started, the tree people danced gracefully along with the ups and downs of the tunes. Their innate talent for dance was astonishing; their seemingly sturdy trunks were as flexible as the branches on their bodies, bending and even flipping with incredible agility.
"The Tree People originally lived on the brink of decay in a realm, and it was only after being saved by the exalted High Sky that they could live freely here. Each Tree Person has a Tree Heart in their body, which, if consumed by a cultivator, considerably slows down the cultivator’s aging. This is also why Tree People cannot survive outside," Luo Ding said to Mu Can, watching the Tree People dance as one with nature.
"High Sky?" If Mu Can wasn’t mistaken, this High Sky was very likely to be the Great Power who created the Death Space.
"High Sky is the savior of the entire Tree People tribe and the creator of this vast land. His mind is as broad as the sky and his cultivation as unfathomable as the ocean. He always wears a warm smile like the gentle sunshine of early spring. It was he who brought the Tree People here and saved them from extinction," Luo Ding said reverently.
"High Sky is the builder of the Death Space and the Death Maze." As a survivor, Poor Tiger was fortunate enough to have seen a vision of High Sky, and it was because of that vision that Poor Tiger has the life he has today.
Listening to Luo Ding’s description, Mu Can couldn’t help but aspire towards such power, where one’s anger could roar like rivers and mountains, and a mere wave of the hand could open the heavens and earth. Even Purple Cloud could not imagine such a level of power.
"I wonder how High Sky compares in strength to my nominal master and grandmaster." His master created the Reincarnation Pearl, and within it hid the Nine Layered World. Even now, at the peak of Martial King, he had only unlocked two layers, the remaining seven veiled in mystery, a feat seemingly no weaker than that of High Sky.
