Chapter 132: 132. Talking with the Ancient Tree

Jin has a great talent in lying and he can fool anyone except Aion. Nox learned this today because he knew that Jin never lies in front of Aion. He felt slight disappointment or maybe anticipation. The tree responded to them,

"So, you both are not from this galaxy and since you call this plane a galaxy, it means that your origins are not that strong because everyone in the high galaxy knows that there are no galaxies. Everyone only focuses on the planes.

The high galaxy is a high plane and the other things are all just lower planes. Later the fight between the divine beings shattered and the planes became galaxies."

The tree spoke to them but it seems that it is memorizing something on its own. Jin was shocked when he heard that but Nox remained calm because he is already aware of these things. He looked at the three and spoke,

"No. His backing is something you can never imagine. It’s just that he was away from his family from childhood."

The ancient tree laughed slightly in their minds and spoke,

"Little guy, although you are a high-grade creature, don’t forget that the one in front of you is one of the ancient trees of this plane. I have no cultivation because I have been protecting this village for thousands of years and this place is my domain. If I want, I can extract my domain and reach the peak of my strength but this is the nature of our clan"

Hearing this Nox became serious and then he spoke,

"But you truly are not the ancient being that I know. My parents told me that the true ancient beings are those who are in the divine realm and crossed at least one eon."

Hearing this, there was a slight exclamation from the tree. Then the tree spoke in their minds,

"Indeed, I am not. I am just the fallen seed from the fallen ancient being and I am born with most of his knowledge but I am not him because I am a completely different entity. I can be said as his descendent."

Nox nodded and then Jin asked,

"I heard that your health is not that great."

The tree became silent after hearing this. Then a response came,

"I am not hurt. My vitality is stripped from me and the villagers know this. As for the reason behind that, you can simply say that the strange creatures are something that causes me this.

Despite being a high cultivator, my strength is not decreasing. It is vitality."

Jin felt cold when he heard that. Nox was also stunned. Jin asked,

"Senior, from when this started to happen?"

The tree paused before answering,

"I am not too aware of that but from what I know, there were only seven mystical forests and they started to increase. Each forest reduced the time for the coming one. I was just going through this forest when the vitality around the area converged into one place.

At first, I thought that it might be some kind of Heaven and earth treasure so I ventured deep in the forest. But then I saw something terrifying. There opened a blood red eye and it looked at me directly. I felt all my soul vanish instantly.

At that moment the true ancient tree grade in my memories awoke and I escaped. But who would have thought that a mere gaze from that being is enough to drain me completely from my vitality.

From the memories, I learnt the things that my past self was not aware of and many secret methods of the Ancient Apricot Trees. I chased one place and then I started my slumber there. I didn’t have much time left so I just went to sleep and this caused my time to increase.

When I opened my eyes again, a human tribe was living under me and from there this village came to me. They started living around me because my strength sublimated in the surroundings and this created the unique domain that belonged to the ancient trees."

Jin and Nox were shocked when they heard that and Jin felt cold when he heard that this was done by a mere red eye. But there was still no fear in his eyes. He was simply too shocked.

As the two were talking, night arrived and then the vitality that was originally present in the surroundings quickly returned to the ground as if returned to the place where it came from. Then an intense chill spread everywhere.

Sensing the sura around him, Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and then he looked at the only entrance of the village where many have gathered around the wall and prepared to fight for something coming here.

The ancient tree behind them spoke in their mind,

"The strange creatures are going to attack soon. Be careful. I won’t be able to make a move unless there is a soul lord expert present here."

Jin nodded and then looked at the gate. He felt a slight commotion just now but he ignored it. Then he sensed something even more terrifying from the earth. He looked at no and spoke,

"You return"

Nox wanted to oppose but one glare from Jin and he shut his mouth and entered his spiritual palace. After that Jin left and joined the villagers in the front line. There he saw Tren and Elvy. His two new friends. They waved at him and he went to meet them. After meeting with each other, Tren asked,

"What did you talk about in the ancient tree?"

Jin looked at the boy and smiled mysteriously and spoke,

"You will naturally find this but for now, tell me the situation."

Tren nodded and explained the same way as the ancient tree but he was more attached to the deceased people. Jin understood the reason. The tree likes to sleep most of the time while humans are emotional beings so it is common for them to be close to each other and feel the sentiments.

Tren explained Jin the situation,

"The strange creature are going to attack soon"

Jin asked,

"In all the past years, has there never been a genius born in the village?"

Elvy replied in a cold tone,

"No. Our village did have it but they can’t stay here for so long. Some parents took their child while some children ran away on their own in order to live. Pathetic."

Jin was stunned by the coldness in her tone and just then Tren spoke,

"Are you going to battle with the strange creatures but it is too dangerous."

Jin simply shook his head and spoke,

"Even if I want to, I can’t. My cultivation has just suffered the energy deviation and this leads to unequal exploitation of my spiritual energy."

Tren and Elvy sucked cold breaths and looked at Jin as if a monster was standing right in front of them. Just then,
