Spirit Vessel-Chapter 1251: Treant School

“Old Mao, you’re not returning to the grave palace?” Feiyun asked.

“The two sacred ancestors taught me that I need to follow you to break through, so our fate isn’t over yet.” The turtle laughed.

The group entered an old platform in Chaos that hadn’t been used in a long time. The stones ran out so Feiyun had to prepare new ones himself.

Portal platforms were divided into four levels: yellow, black, earth, and heaven.

Heaven platforms could traverse space and time, traveling through one hundred thousand immortal steps. Only saints could create them.

“Boss Feng, we’re using a heaven platform? Where are we going?” The dragon asked.

“The far west.” Feiyun placed dragon stones into the right sockets, a total of 108 stones.

“Chaos City is 300,000 steps away from the far west, hundreds of worlds are in between. It’s near Primal Ocean.” The dragon took a deep breath and his eyes widened.

Sixth Central was a large world but the total distance from its extremes was only 1,200 steps. Given the distance, Feiyun would need to use the vessel for decades without rest before reaching it.

“You can stay in Chaos City if you want.” Feiyun finished the arrangement and activated the platform. 108 beams shot up to the sky in the shape of divine dragons.

Feiyun and Yiyi entered together, the same with the turtle and the fruit. The dragon’s eyes shifted back and forth before it flew inside.

After a blinding flash, they disappeared from the portal.

One month later in the far west of West Bull.

The water in a lake boiled and surged, forming a massive runic formation. It then froze into ice.

“Bam!” Feiyun’s group appeared on the surface.

There were ancient trees everywhere on the edge of the lake. Vines as thick as a bowl shot out with a scent of blood, aiming for Yiyi.

She took out Earth’s End and formed a barrier, preventing them from getting through. Although she didn’t wish to hurt them, the rebound force from the saint artifact still reduced the vines into dust.

“Humans, this is the territory of Treant School, even saints will have to obey the rules.” A gigantic tree drilled out of the earth. Each leaf was as large as a mountain.

“Treants have numerous expert cultivators and are in charge of 658 great worlds. Even the immemorial races don’t wish to anger them.” The dragon whispered.

Tree demons had a hard time cultivating due to their physical nature. Moreover, they couldn’t leave their home as easily as humans and beasts.

Therefore, the plant-based demons gathered and formed Treant School, allowing anyone at the Heaven’s Mandate realm to join.

At first, they only had a small world named Ancestral Treant. It grew stronger with more members. After numerous eras, it had 658 worlds now.

This was only comparable to one immemorial race but in terms of number, they had more experts than even the dragon race. However, due to the diverse species, they lacked the same organizational structure as the dragons, hence the lack of influence.

Feiyun had read about them before and knew they had to follow the rules lest risk an endless assault.

“I am Feng Feiyun of the human race. The purpose of my visit is to meet Wutong Ancestor. Senior, would you be so kind as to show us the way?” Feiyun said politely.

“Feng Feiyun, the new rising star, I see. Wutong Ancestor had informed us of this already, you may enter Ancestral Treant World.” The colossal tree’s attitude softened.

He turned into a blue-robed man and landed by the shore. He had lived for one million years but only gained a human form eight thousand years ago, so his age could be considered as eight thousand.

The treants lived for a long time. It wasn’t strange to have some live dozens of million years. However, once they chose to gain an official human form, they would have a shortened lifespan in the tens of thousands.

Those who couldn’t gain an official form had weak battle potential. Even a one-million-year tree was only comparable to a Heaven’s Mandate cultivator.

Gain and loss came hand-in-hand. This was the way of the heaven, to reduce any excess and supplement the insufficient.

“Ancestor Wutong already knew of my coming?” Feiyun smiled.

“The ancestor’s wisdom knows no bounds, no changes in the world can fool it. Young Noble Feng, follow me.” The tree said.

Feiyun nodded and followed the tree, entering another platform.

***

Half-demons before Time Immemorial could reach Heaven’s Emergence. This abruptly stopped later.

According to the scrolls of Aquamoon Paradise, Xuanyuan Yiyi knew there were nine continents once, each with a unique heavenly dao.

Half-demons had no shackles in some continents but unfortunately, West Bull was one with.

Feiyun was surprised at first but upon further rumination, he found this plausible.

For example, in a few worlds in West Bull, cultivators couldn’t reach Nirvana regardless of their cultivation and materials used. These places were known as dao forsaken lands.

On the other hand, the dragons had a land where babies started at Nirvana. Cultivation speed was ten times higher than in other areas. It is known as dao blessed lands.

This explained one thing - whenever there was a shift geographically, so would the rules of the heavenly dao. However, these changes were so subtle that ordinary cultivators couldn’t perceive them at all.

Saints could sense the existence of the heavenly dao but understanding them was a different matter.

However, there was one existence capable of sensing these small changes - Wutong Ancestor.

No one knew how long he had lived for. Some believed its lifespan was comparable to the oldest medicines or the earliest heavenly dao.

Feiyun had prepared an introduction letter from Grandpa Liu due to the disparity in status. However, the treant ancestor had expected him.
