This ancient tree is imnsely tall, with an incredibly aged face growing on its trunk.
It appears kind and gentle.
With a chuckle, it said, "Ah, a newcor has arrived."
"It was Grandpa Wang who asked to bring him in, sorry for the trouble," Wang Ze replied.
"No problem, go on inside.
Be careful on the way, don't step on other plants," the ancient tree laughed softly.
A branch fell, seemingly imbued with boundless power.
It plunged directly into the depths of the void, as if wrapping around sothing and forcibly dragging it up.
An invisible green door sustained within the void.
"Inside is an inland world we call the Plant Realm," Wang Ze explained.
"Among the eighteen veins in our Yao Pond, only our Plant Lineage has its own unique world."
When Wang Ze spoke these words, he was both proud and a bit sad.
"Back then, our Plant Lineage resisted Qiongqi's tribe led by Huo Dou, defending Qiansong City.
Even fighting to the death to hold back Qiongqi's tribe, truly a great service.
So Yao Pond specially opened up a small world for us as compensation."
"It's a pity that after the battle, despite the many compensations, it marked the beginning of the Plant Lineage's decline."
"Everything will be fine," Xu Zii said.
"I just hope the Plant Lineage won't be abolished," Wang Ze sighed.
"Then you should work on becoming stronger; your Grandpa Wang can't always protect you and your sister," Xu Zii said frankly.
"Without Grandpa Wang, the Plant Lineage wouldn't stand, and this Plant Realm might be taken back."
"Protecting the Plant Realm is my dream, and I am working hard towards it."
Wang Ze said excitedly but helplessly.
"But wanting to beco strong, re effort isn't enough.
There are too many things in this world that can't be achieved by just hard work."
"At least, leave no regrets," Xu Zii responded.
"True," Wang Ze scratched his head and quickly added.
"Hurry inside; Grandpa Wang is still waiting for you.
I think Grandpa Wang might have sothing to say to you."
"Then let's go in and see," Xu Zii stepped into the Plant Realm.
He was used to this thod of traversing.
In fact, the Plant Realm is not an independent world; it attaches to Mount Kunlun of Yao Pond.
Between the two, there is only a thin barrier.
Once inside, Xu Zii's senses imdiately changed.
The Plant Realm is a world of plants, naturally.
At a glance, the whole world is imrsed in an ocean of plants.
There are starry grasses like the Milky Way, ultimate darkness like Dark Night Dew, and the Poison Demon Vine exuding a forbidding aura.
Of course, most plants are not conscious.
They can't speak, not even move.
Along the way, Wang Ze would greet any conscious plant they encountered.
"Hello, Grandpa Long."
This is a Dragon Heart Nine-Leaf Ganoderma.
Resembling a dragon with nine leaves, lifelike as if a True Dragon exists.
At this mont, it's inhaling and exhaling the Essence of Sun and Moon.
"Kid, have any dragon saliva for next ti?" Dragon Heart Nine-Leaf Ganoderma asked.
"No," Wang Ze shrugged.
Walking further, a Demon Blood Spirit Tree and a Mysterious Heaven Green Vine appeared.
"Little Ze, brought a friend?" Mysterious Heaven Green Vine spoke first.
"Yes, hello Uncle Xuantian," Wang Ze nodded.
Xu Zii also greeted simply.
The Demon Blood Spirit Tree nearby was sowhat aloof but shook its trunk.
A Demon Blood Spirit Fruit fell.
Lightly said, "Newcor, a gift for eting."
The Demon Blood Spirit Fruit is quite a treasure, beneficial for cultivation.
Although not of much use to Xu Zii, it was a kind gesture, and he smiled in thanks.
Continuing onward, the trees ahead beca dense, almost leaving no footing space.
Wang Ze eyed Xu Zii's Demon Blood Spirit Fruit sowhat enviously, swallowing.
"What, want to eat?" Xu Zii asked.
"No, no, it's for you," Wang Ze quickly waved his hand.
"I tell you, this fruit is delicious.
Especially when made into fruit pulp, the taste is superb."
Xu Zii chuckled.
At this ti, they stopped at a narrow passage.
The path forward ended, with countless ancient trees blocking ahead.
Among them, one ancient tree split open a human-sized crack at its trunk, like a narrow sky.
"Enter here to arrive," Wang Ze said.
"This is where Grandpa Wang usually retreats."
Passing through the ancient tree's crack, their vision expanded.
Inside was like a valley.
There was a house built with vines.
Grandpa Wang and Wang Ya were there.
......
"How many tis have I told you, practicing Longevity Jue requires staying humble; without a calm heart, how can you practice?"
Grandpa Wang was instructing Wang Ya in her practice.
Seeing Xu Zii arrive, he smiled, "Thank you for looking after these siblings while I was in retreat."
"They also helped a lot," Xu Zii shook his head.
"Where do you co from, young friend?" Grandpa Wang asked with a smile.
He was very interested in Xu Zii's background.
And toward Xu Zii, Grandpa Wang always treated him as an equal, never playing the elder's role.
Indeed, among cultivators, strength matters more than age.
"Just a Loose Cultivator," Xu Zii shook his head.
"I heard from Wang Ze you were looking for ?"
Grandpa Wang nodded, presenting several tokens.
The tokens were white, with the words Pan Peach written on both sides.
"Not long ago, Yao Pond's various veins delivered these tokens.
They said you won them in the Pan Peach Garden.
Each token represents a spot at the Pan Peach Holy eting.
Do you know what it signifies?" Grandpa Wang asked.
"One token, one Pan Peach," Xu Zii smiled.
He was quite eager for the Pan Peaches.
Whether he could activate Heaven Flower and truly enter the Three Flowers Realm depended on these Pan Peaches.
"Though the tokens are good, they are also trouble," Grandpa Wang said.
"Are you worried soone wants to snatch my Pan Peaches?" Xu Zii asked.
"Publicly they won't dare, but secretly, who knows.
Many may already have their eyes on you," Grandpa Wang said.
"Proceeding carefully is essential."
"I'm afraid they won't try," Xu Zii chuckled.
Then asked, "Do you know about the Golden Peak?"
"Why are you asking this?" Grandpa Wang responded warily.
"Is there sothing special about Golden Peak?" Xu Zii puzzled.
"Golden Peak is a Forbidden Land of our Yao Pond," Wang Ya explained at the side.
"Kunlun Mountain operates on tal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, forming five peaks, the shield of Mount Kunlun."
