"I’ve heard that the world has reincarnation."
"So deeply in love, perhaps they have long renewed their past bonds, heading to a distant utopia."
"I shall go to see, if they are there, then I will stay with them."
"If not, then I will wait for their return."
Jiang Fan remained silent.
Without a goal, life becomes meaningless.
The Silver Apricot Tree waited for five hundred years for Lu Jiulin’s promise after its master’s departure.
Now, with a new goal, how could Jiang Fan stop it?
He raised a slight smile and asked, "Do you know where the distant utopia is?"
The Silver Apricot Tree replied, "I only know it’s in a very faraway place."
Jiang Fan asked again, "Is there a way to leave the Central Earth Realm?"
Only a sage can tear through a realm.
The Silver Apricot Tree pondered and said, "Don’t worry, the Central Earth Realm is not impenetrable."
"Cracks appear at specific times, and I will act accordingly."
Jiang Fan recalled the Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road tearing through the void and remembered the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis tearing through the Central Earth Realm’s barrier, threatening him from afar.
With the arrival of the Ancient Giant, the world is in chaos, and cracks will appear more frequently than usual.
Jiang Fan looked at the Silver Apricot Tree’s mostly severed roots and its half-cut crown.
After a brief thought, he took out a small pouch.
Inside was the Breath Soil.
Currently, a Fixed Seed was buried in the Breath Soil, and its sprout had grown significantly taller and had acquired a blue halo over time.
He moved it aside and took out half of the Breath Soil, handing it to the Silver Apricot Tree.
"This soil should be useful to you, take it."
The Silver Apricot Tree looked closely and exclaimed, "Breath Soil from the Heavenly Realm?"
"You have such a thing?"
"This was a Divine Object exclusively owned by the Imperial Family when the Angel Race ruled the Heavenly Realm!"
"For our plant race, it has the ability to transform decay into a miracle."
"My master once wanted to find a piece for me, to help me evolve into a Divine Tree, but unfortunately, it was extremely scarce in the Heavenly Realm, impossible to acquire."
"You... you actually have so much?"
Oh?
The Breath Soil can allow an ordinary tree to evolve into a Divine Tree?
Does this mean the Fixed Seed, staying long in the Breath Soil, will also evolve?
He felt a surge of anticipation, curious to see what the Fixed Seed would grow into once it became a Divine Tree.
"Gifted to you, take it."
Jiang Fan handed over the Breath Soil.
The Silver Apricot Tree extended its roots but withdrew them, saying, "I cannot accept it, it’s too precious!"
Jiang Fan looked at the old remains of Venerate Wutong and said, "If they have renewed their past bonds in the distant utopia, this bit of Breath Soil can be my blessing to them."
Upon hearing this, the Silver Apricot Tree could no longer refuse.
With a choked voice, it said, "Thank you, thank you..."
Jiang Fan not only brought news of Lu Jiulin but also sacrificed the Great Sage’s Law to protect his master’s remains.
Now he was giving the precious Breath Soil to it.
After a moment of silence, a Pill Pearl floated in the Silver Apricot Tree’s eyes.
Soon, a small, red pearl emitting a holy soft light dropped out.
The Silver Apricot Tree held it with its roots and handed it to Jiang Fan.
"What is this?" Jiang Fan asked, looking at the small red pearl.
The soft light it emitted made him feel comfortable in both body and mind.
"The merit of my master."
"Some people also call it the Merit Divine Pearl."
Ah?
Jiang Fan was surprised, "Why are you giving it to me?"
Just earlier, the Silver Apricot Tree had explicitly stated that it would not give away its master’s merit to anyone!
