Chapter 482: Chapter 449: So That’s How It Is_1
“Waiting for hundreds of thousands of years!!”
Xu Mu was somewhat speechless.
The giant tree in front of him seemed reasonable, but its conception of time was utterly out of line with his.
Hundreds of thousands of years were too long. Even if he cultivated the True Immortal Realm, he might not live that long.
“I wonder if Senior has any other alternatives?” Xu Mu unwillingly asked.
He couldn’t possibly wait for hundreds of thousands of years. He couldn’t live that long, let alone have the patience.
“No.”
The face on the tree was indifferent.
“When I first arrived in this world, I accidentally encountered an extremely powerful will. I wonder if Senior knows about it, and how do I find it?” Xu Mu asked.
The tree’s power was limited and couldn’t send him away, but that strong will would certainly be able to help him.
“Hmm?” The tree replied surprisingly, “A strong will? You could draw his attention, do you have something special about you?”
The tree seemed to be aware of that mysterious existence. It began to release its spiritual power, exploring back and forth through Xu Mu’s body, trying to find something unusual.
“We once helped from the outside world…”
Xu Mu told the tree all his speculations and what he had learned from that terrifying will.
The tree was far stronger than him, and there was no need, or even any possibility, for him to hide anything.
With the power that the tree possessed, it could easily kill him. It was not worth risking the tree’s anger by deliberately hiding information.
Moreover, what he knew did not seem to be any secret. Even if the tree found out, it shouldn’t be a problem.
“You’re really lucky, encountering such a terrifying existence, not only did you benefit greatly but also escaped unscathed.”
After listening to Xu Mu, the tree couldn’t help exclaiming.
Perhaps due to Xu Mu’s unique experience, the tree’s gaze softened slightly.
Initially, to the tree, Xu Mu was nothing more than an insignificant insect from a different world. Now, knowing that Xu Mu had an encounter with two top-level existences, it couldn’t help but have a considerable amount of respect towards him and began seeing him as an equal.
“Senior, do you know these two existences?” Xu Mu asked.
“How could I possibly know them? Even in their eyes, I am nothing more than an insignificant insect.” The tree chuckled.
It was powerful in Xu Mu’s eyes, but in the eyes of the two existence, it was probably even more insignificant than Xu Mu.
“I am not quite aware of the one you met in the outside world. However, since they both know each other, they must both be True Spirit level existences.” The tree said.
“As Expected!”
Xu Mu secretly said in his heart.
He had guessed before, but his power was too weak to confirm.
However, the one that he encountered in this world, was a True Spirit as well, which was quite a surprise.
“As for the Master that you sensed in this world…”
The tree said with a reverent tone, “Is the founder of this world, Kun Peng.”
“Kun Peng?”
Xu Mu was taken aback for a moment. He soon caught a critical piece of information from the tree’s word.
“Did you say the founder of this world, could it be…”
“Correct, the space we’re in right now is within the belly of Kun Peng. The immense size of it is because Kun Peng used the Law to create it.”
The tree stated calmly, shedding light on a piece of news that shocked everyone present.
“We’re living inside a fish’s stomach?” Yue murmured to herself.
Her mind was filled with imagination, unable to conceive the connection between the two.
How large would the fish need to be, to fit an entire continent inside?
Imagine if it were killed and eaten…
She quickly shook her head to discard this ridiculous thought.
The rest of the people were also utterly shocked, felt like they were listening to a mythical story.
However, they felt that the mysterious and powerful tree before them had no need to deceive them.
That being said, this news was probably true.
Everyone swallowed nervously, feeling as though their worldview has been remodeled.
Contrarily, the status of Xu Mu being an outsider, was surprisingly more easily accepted.
Xu Mu was surprised as well, but he came from the Cultivation Realm and had seen many miraculous things, so he quickly accepted the reality.
“Senior, could you please ask Kun Peng for me?” Xu Mu wanted the tree to contact Kun Peng, hoping that Kun Peng would transport him out.
“I’ve already told you, I’m but an insignificant insect in the eyes of that great being, how dare I disturb him!”
The tree refused.
Though it might have the chance to grab Kun Peng’s attention, that would invariably carry enormous risks. It wouldn’t risk its life for Xu Mu, an irrelevant outsider.
“Go, I need to sleep. Don’t come and bother me again.”
Leaves rustled softly as if the tree was shooing them away.
It was woken up by the two them and noticed the foreign scent on Xu Mu, that was why it woke up for a look. As for Xu Mu’s purpose or background, it had little interest.
For its extended lifespan, Xu Mu was nothing more than a mayfly, disappearing in a blink of an eye. It wasn’t worth expending energy on him.
“Grandfather, what’s the matter with me?” Summoning her courage, Yue stepped up and asked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ever since she arrived there, she felt a sense of affinity with the tree, as if they were connected by blood.
Seeing the tree driving them away, she couldn’t help but give into her curiosity. Because if she missed this opportunity, there might never be another one.
“You?”
Only now, as if suddenly aware, did the tree notice the existence of the others.
If Xu Mu was just an insect to it, what would these people be? It was normal for it not to notice them.
Even that White Ape was nonexistent to it.
It released its spiritual power, checked Yue, thought about it for a while before saying, “I remember. You are a descendant of that little fellow.”
Everyone except Xu Mu perked up at this, since it concerned the secret of the Martial God.
This secret could be said to be the biggest secret on the entire continent. According to myths, whoever obtained this secret would become the legendary Martial God, unifying the whole continent.
“This must be about a thousand years ago. I had just awoken from a deep sleep, I was in a good mood, when that little fellow unintentionally landed here, I gave him a seed and sent him on his way. Surprisingly his descendant has made her way here.”
As it was narrating, there was no noticeable change in the tree’s expression, for it was a common occurrence.
“So that’s how it is.” Yue said, sounding somewhat disappointed.
She thought that there might be a significant secret hidden within. Now it seemed that it was nothing more than a coincidence.
The others also had complex feelings.
Unexpectedly, the secret that drove every martial artist mad turned out to be a casual act of the tree in front of them.
“Since you have made it here, it might be a matter of fate. Here, take this seed.” The tree said.
A green seed flew out from within the tree’s body, landing on Yue’s hand.
“…”
