A tree?
Or should it be said to be a... peculiar Spirit Plant.
It bears so resemblance to a banyan tree.
Both have long roots that hang down into the ground.
But this banyan tree is made of countless tals; its leaves, branches, and almost the entire trunk are composed of various tals, shimring brightly under the sunlight.
Only the aerial roots seem sowhat normal.
Actually, not really normal, because the aerial roots are semi-transparent, flowing with flas inside, with the Five Elents’ firelight swirling and burning freely within them.
Even from afar, a wave of heat rushes toward you.
After a brief mont of surprise, Zhao He realized that this must be sothing his master cultivated... but should this be called a Spirit Plant or so kind of chanical creation?
"Co in."
While he hesitated, Li Ye’s voice echoed directly in his mind.
He quickly stepped into the strange large tree.
Once inside, the surrounding space suddenly opened up wide.
It seed like he could see palaces, lakes, and endless cities.
Closest to him was a wooden palace where Fire-Eyed Spirit Monkeys could live, surrounded by countless Jade Banana Rice.
He gazed into the distance.
Various minerals were being continuously transported from the ground’s Array, where three-headed, six-ard Fire-Eyed Spirit Monkeys ticulously sorted them by purity of Spiritual Power, Five Elents attribute, and size, sending them into the Array.
"Fire-Eyed Spirit Monkeys?"
"Huh."
Zhao He naturally recognized this kind of Spirit Beast.
In fact, he had seen quite a few, given his frequent trading activities, possibly even more than Li Ye himself.
But these Fire-Eyed Spirit Monkeys seed sowhat odd.
They appeared to be wearing so kind of spectacle called glasses—a device Zhao He was not unfamiliar with, as many Confucian Scholars in the Bitter Journey Academy wore them.
In a certain sense, it counts as a type of Magical Artifact to aid oneself.
And atop these Fire-Eyed Spirit Monkeys’ high noses rested the glasses, the fras oval-shaped, crafted from clear water vapor, and the arms of the glasses made from the very familiar and exquisite Emotion Song celestial light.
At a glance, they looked quite trendy indeed.
"Kid."
"This is the Spirit Plant the master cultivated for the Fire-Eyed Spirit Monkeys."
Beside him.
The Spiritual chanism Vine suddenly erged.
Compared to its sowhat reserved deanor in front of Li Ye, it was relaxed around Zhao He, loosely coiling around his neck and shoulders.
In front of this elder, Zhao He dared not be presumptuous.
Even though this "senior" was younger than him in years.
He respectfully called out: "Senior Teng."
"Hmm." The Spiritual chanism Vine slowly continued: "The glasses they wear are actually a Spirit Plant called Purifying Mirror Flower."
"Despite the Fire-Eyed Spirit Monkeys’ incredibly sharp eyesight and their innate bloodline-inherited Pupil Skill, keeping their eyes open for long causes their eyeballs to fall out."
"But with the Purifying Mirror Flower, there won’t be such an issue."
As it spoke, it gestured for Zhao He to step into the Array.
Zhao He hurriedly complied.
Before leaving, he glanced back at the busy Fire-Eyed Spirit Monkeys in the palace, his gaze lingering around the fras of the glasses montarily.
What were those celestial lights?
Weren’t they the celestial lights from the master’s Emotion Song?
The Spiritual chanism Vine wouldn’t say, so he couldn’t know.
The Array, resembling a ceaselessly flowing river, carried Zhao He, the Spiritual chanism Vine, and the sorted Spiritual Materials forward, quickly reaching a vast, boundless pool of fire lava.
The materials went "ploop, ploop" into the lake.
Zhao He, before falling, leapt down with the Spiritual chanism Vine, gazing at the lake—a vast lake where towering Spirit Plants, resembling pine trees, grew.
From the full pinecones on these trees, deep blue resin dripped, drop by drop.
Beneath the pine trees gathered so iron-strong fish, their bodies seemingly coated with a thick layer of resin, which ignited first when burning and slting materials.
More miraculous was the ring woven with Emotion Song celestial light at the back of their heads, glowing faintly.
They seed to possess significant spiritual intelligence, scorching and refining the continuously delivered Spiritual Materials, appearing competitive among the schools of fish.
Back and forth, as if vying for the Spiritual Materials.
"These are the Iron-shaping Fish."
"The master cultivated this Heavenly Soul Fat Pine for them, so they can burn its resin when they need to combust."
"In this way, they avoid direct fla exposure, preventing damage to their bodies."
The Spiritual chanism Vine routinely introduced, then signaled him to sit in the Array to enter the city.
At this mont, he mustered the courage to ask: "Senior, I saw the celestial light of my master’s Emotion Song on the Fire-Eyed Spirit Monkeys’ glasses and on these fishes’ heads.
Is that the Emotion Song?"
"Hehe." The Spiritual chanism Vine chuckled: "Don’t be impatient; this is the most amazing Spirit Plant the master created.
You’ll know when you et the master."
Although the Spiritual chanism Vine left it as a mystery, Zhao He could be sure that thing was the Emotion Song.
But the Emotion Song and Spirit Plant?
With a bit of confusion, he followed the Array upwards.
He then arrived at the vast, endless city.
Most striking in this city was a Spirit Vein Willow, not particularly large, situated in the city’s center, with all its branches drooping to the ground, spreading like streams throughout the entire city.
