Chapter 65

"This is the Golden Ancient Tree."

Ma Xiaotao introduced with a smile on her face.

At this moment, standing before the two of them was a great tree, a massive tree that towered into the clouds, one whose top was almost invisible to the naked eye.

Its entire body was covered in a golden halo, and it wasn't just the outer halo; the trunk itself was also golden yellow. Such a spectacle was almost absolutely impossible to appear on a tree.

This was the Golden Ancient Tree of the Shrek Neiyuan, a rare and exotic treasure that had existed for a very, very long time, and which legend said appeared under the arrangement of the God King Tang San.

The reason Ma Xiaotao chose to bring the other person to see the Golden Ancient Tree was simple: if there was anything in the Neiyuan that one absolutely had to see, especially for a plant-type Soul Master, then this Golden Ancient Tree was definitely one of them.

There was no telling how many people came to the Neiyuan, all of them unable to wait to see this; among them were many seniors whose martial souls were plants, and each of them was deeply moved.

It was as if, for those who possessed plant-type martial souls, this great tree was some kind of incredible heavenly treasure.

"For little Wulin,"

"it must also be useful, right?"

A flash of contemplation crossed Ma Xiaotao's face. The life level of this great tree made even her, an assault-type Soul Master, sigh in admiration, let alone the other person, who was a possessor of a life-type martial soul.

In the future, he could try cultivating here; the effect would definitely be much stronger than cultivating outside.

"Golden Ancient Tree..."

At this very moment, Tang Wulin looked at the towering giant before him, his gaze unable to help but carry a sense of emotion, though more of it was a period of deep thought.

The Golden Ancient Tree might be seen by others as a huge tree of life, possessing extremely powerful life energy—this point was indeed correct, but it was not just that.

Within the Golden Tree, this official main body was Tang San's mother, the hundred-thousand-year transformed soul beast Blue Silver Emperor A Yin from ten thousand years ago! Long before he approached this place, he had already felt the other party's completely unconcealable sense of closeness, which must be because of the Blue Silver Emperor God bloodline within his own body.

In that case, his own talent was even above the other party's.

"A Yin, hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor..."

"Was it under Tang San's help that she merged with this Golden Tree to become the root of the Douluo Divine Realm?"

Tang Wulin thought silently, a look of contemplation on his face.

In his understanding, A Yin was undoubtedly in the process of slumbering now. Presumably, after she awoke, she could become the World Tree of Douluo, while simultaneously helping that Tang Hao become the Plane God of this world.

It was just that, precisely because it hadn't succeeded yet, the other party was still just an "ordinary" Golden Ancient Tree, at least not yet advanced to the god-level, let alone able to lend Tang Hao a helping hand.

"My Blue Silver Emperor God bloodline is even above hers."

"In that case, if there is an opportunity to subdue her for my use before she reaches the god-level..."

Thinking of this, Tang Wulin couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.

If he could take this future Douluo Tree as his own, that would truly be a major blow to Tang San and Tang Hao, who had been plotting for the Douluo plane for so long.

It was just that, the moment he thought it was A Yin, why was there vaguely a feeling of excitement?

"A Yin, you also wouldn't want to let Tang San..."

Not until such a thought appeared in his mind did Tang Wulin realize where he was being strange. Don't say it, really don't say it, this was indeed a bit exciting.

"I'll find a chance to have more contact later."

"If there is a suitable opportunity, A Yin and I can communicate more."

Casting aside those messy scenarios in his heart, Tang Wulin hung a smile on his face and thought secretly to himself.

At least compared to those two, Tang Hao and Tang San, the soul beast-transformed Blue Silver Emperor was much simpler and friendlier, not to mention that he carried a bloodline in his body that was of the same origin as hers, yet stronger.

Hmm...

I can't say the advantage is with me, but I can say it's about the same.

"Wulin, what are you thinking about?"

At this time, Ma Xiaotao noticed Tang Wulin's daze and was instantly a bit curious, asking.

"Nothing."

"I was just lost in thought looking at this Golden Ancient Tree; it's truly spectacular."

Tang Wulin smiled slightly and said casually.

He was indeed lost in thought, but what he was thinking about was not the Golden Ancient Tree, but A Yin.

A certain Hammer Douluo:?

"Is that so."

"The Golden Ancient Tree is indeed very good; it's nothing that little Wulin was stunned by it. You'll be in the Neiyuan from now on, and with your talent, and being a Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, you are fully qualified to cultivate here. Look at it more and you won't be stunned."

Ma Xiaotao smiled and said gently.

Although she was a fire-attribute Soul Master and couldn't feel the energy of the Golden Ancient Tree, from the perspective of a plant-type Soul Master, this boost was incomparably huge.

"It's nothing to be stunned at first, but don't be stunned like this in the future, okay?"

She added, but looking at the young man in front of her, a thought couldn't help but appear in her heart—though, Wulin looks very good when he's dazed.

"Okay."

Tang Wulin didn't deny it and smiled.

"I'll take you to other places first."

At this time, Ma Xiaotao continued. She had only shown him the most suitable place in the Neiyuan, but there were several other places she hadn't taken him to yet.

"Okay."

"..."

Meanwhile.

A remote little mountain village on the Douluo Continent.

"Hmm?"

"Why do I always feel like I have a bad premonition?"

A man who looked like a farmer was tilling the fields. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked toward the distant direction of Shrek Academy, unable to help but frown, saying in a rough voice.

"Is there a problem with Xiao Qi?"

"Or has A Yin's advancement been affected?"

Such thoughts instantly surged into the man's mind, and he couldn't help but think, but the next moment he shook his head.

"A Yin has already entered the final stage with the Golden Ancient Tree; within ten years, she will be able to become the root of the Douluo plane. It is absolutely impossible for anything to go wrong."

"With Xiao San, a Divine Realm enforcer, there is absolutely no way A Yin's advancement could have any errors. She will soon become a plane root with second-tier god-level strength. I just need to wait quietly."

Tang Hao shook his head indifferently, smacking his lips, thinking so firmly in his heart.

What he had to do now was wait. If he interfered in this advancement process, it would instead affect the final result, which naturally wasn't a situation he and his son wanted to see.

As for the matter with his granddaughter, he cared even less. He believed that Xiao San couldn't possibly fail to control her; as the daughter of a God King, it was impossible for any of her actions to go wrong.

He could not believe in himself, he could not believe in his wife, but he absolutely could not fail to believe in his son. That was his most outstanding precious son; there would absolutely be no problems.

"I've liked farming whenever I have nothing to do these years. This feeling is truly likable."

"Only at times like this can I calm my heart."

A look of emotion was on his face. With his talent, if his personality weren't so unstable, how could he still not be a second-tier god, but just a god official without a divine position?

Farming to cultivate one's character is still pretty good. Maybe I can get other benefits while becoming a plane god in the future.

"Hmm?"

"Why did a beast come here?"

At this moment, Tang Hao's gaze swept to a soul beast that had scurried in. Seeing it start to gnaw on the Blue Silver Emperor he had planted, his face instantly turned red, and he breathed like an ox.

Blue Silver Emperor! He couldn't even bear to pick these herbs himself, and the other party just ate them like that!? The next moment, a huge Clear Sky Hammer was held in his hand, crushing the other party on the spot.

"What kind of thing is this."

"Daring to disturb my farming, Tang Hao."

But at the same time, because of the excessive force, his field was once again razed to the ground, and years of hard work turned into bubbles.

"Which field is this that I've destroyed..."

"Doesn't matter, I'll replant it."

Tang Hao snorted coldly, not caring, and said coldly.

Daring to eat what he planted, you already have the Way of Taking Death!
