He drew all his nourishnt from his roots.
Leaves fell to the ground, turned into nutrients, and after such transformation, beca his own sustenance.
And this transformation process was the pinnacle martial art born from the top true scriptures, which contained anings that could speed up his growth with nutrients.
"Young friend, why do you laugh?" At this mont, the Heavenly Master suddenly asked, interrupting Yi Chen's thoughts.
"Ah, did I laugh?" Yi Chen restrained his smile and quickly shook his head to deny it, "Just now, I rely had a sudden realization and felt joy in my heart."
One could not speak their thoughts aloud.
Yi Chen's thoughts shifted, and he imdiately changed the topic: "Heavenly Master, what causes the anomaly of heaven and earth? There have been anomalies before, but why are they so violent now?"
"Eighty thousand!"
"This question will cost you eighty thousand Contribution Points! The Heavenly Master will also give you an additional piece of information, telling you who currently holds the only true scripture 'Human Emperor's Scripture,' personally transmitted by the Human Emperor.
This is a huge tree that has risen horizontally in the Eastern Continent, an exceptionally talented prodigy, ranking just below that peerless female crown in the Central Continent."
Seemingly recalling soone's figure, the Heavenly Master couldn't help but shiver; that one was a monster, one that couldn't be reasoned with by normal standards.
Thinking of this, the Heavenly Master couldn't help but let his gaze linger on Yi Chen's face for a while.
In his heart, Yi Chen was like Yuan Jun, both were freaks who defied conventional asurents.
"Damn! Is this the Heavenly Master? This is clearly an old scamr! No, he's the strongest scamr of them all!" Yi Chen looked at the Heavenly Master's old face and for a mont, his teeth itched with hatred.
The guy just had the audacity to nonchalantly demand eighty thousand Contribution Points with a shaless face. Yi Taoist himself had toiled hard at scamming to earn just one hundred and ten thousand, and that was still reserved for Yuan Jun and others to use in plundering formations. Now he fully realized why even Yuan Jun had complained that the Heavenly Master charged exorbitant and underhanded prices.
"Make a counteroffer then!" Seeing Yi Chen remain silent, the Heavenly Master couldn't help but urge him.
"Ten thousand, and if you ask for a penny more, I won't inquire further," Yi Chen said irritably.
"Good, prompt! Ten thousand it is. The Heavenly Master always collects paynt before service, hand it over."
Yi Chen was truly annoyed; the old scamr's words sounded all too familiar.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Master agreed so quickly that it made his purchasing experience extrely unpleasant. If there had been just a few seconds of hesitation, he wouldn't feel as painfully remorseful as he did now.
After finalizing the transaction of a thousand points of Gold Essence with an utterly dismayed face, the Heavenly Master then slapped his pocket contentedly and said:
"My young friend is forthright, so I won't keep you in suspense. If destiny were to make you a king, how would you respond?"
"Naturally, I would accept it."
"Then, what if destiny designated you as food?"
"Kill!" Yi Chen's answer was extrely resolute, without the slightest hesitation.
"Precisely, that's what those towering trees at the pinnacle of growth also think."
At this point, the Heavenly Master's somber voice continued to follow.
"Although they all stand at the pinnacle height of a tree, there are also vast differences between them. For instance, so trees are significantly thicker, several tis larger than others."
"These trees, with their small branches already beyond the courtyard wall, have seen the world outside: distant mountains, flowing rivers, and predators like tigers, antelopes, and jackals in pursuit of their prey."
"You see, had they not seen these, it might have been better, but once they've witnessed the mountains and rivers beyond, once they've seen the vast world outside, it sets them apart from the trees within the courtyard walls."
"They are no longer the sa; they have completely changed."
"In your place, would you be content?"
"Before, there have been jackals that accidentally entered the courtyard but were all killed by the great trees in cooperation with the courtyard owner."
"So, when horizontal growth did not achieve a major breakthrough, part of the trees entertained a new idea."
At this point, Yi Chen was deeply shocked, his eyes widened a bit:
"Holy shit, was it you guys who brought over the Grand Supre Elder?"
Seeing Yi Chen's expression, the Heavenly Master knew he had grasped the aning of his words and then he sighed:
"Those towering trees wanted to use the tiger to swallow the wolf, to tear down the courtyard walls. Other trees, although they did not agree, except for a very few, also chose to acquiesce. After all, having more options is always better. If they could kill the courtyard owner and then drive away the invaders, that would be perfect,"
"Thus, during a brilliant golden era, this group of trees, diverse in race, realized an unprecedented unity at a certain point in ti, congregated, and ford an organization. They paid a horrendous price for this. Pooling everyone's wisdom, they finally lit a beacon in the dark courtyard."
"Until recently, their plans have been passed down through generation after generation and finally bore fruit."
"It's just that the fruit is sowhat bitter."
"What was introduced from outside was neither jackals nor tigers but even more terrifying ferocious beasts lurking in the dark, with appetites so large they intend to devour every living thing in the courtyard, including the courtyard owner." Upon saying this, the Heavenly Master let out a slight sigh, his mood sowhat complex.
Heaven and Earth are heartless, treating all beings as straw dogs; humans are heartless, using others as sacrificial offerings.
Everyone has their reasons, but no one ever asks for the opinion of the weak. The only thing the weak can do is await the decree of fate; this is the harsh reality.
"Heavenly Master, if I'm not mistaken, the ferocious beasts that have been drawn here include more than just one entity," Yi Chen inquired with a dark expression. He knew of the nas that had appeared in both the heart-devouring snake empress and Extinction Ruins, Bo Xun.
And within the Heavenly Master's words, he couldn't help but consider an even deeper layer. What are the thoughts and attitudes of that group of the very top trees when faced with this situation?
