1424 Tree of Radiance, Acknowledge Your Master!

Wang Teng retrieved the Emerald Glazed Flame and the Soul Of Thousand Beasts Flame. He couldn’t burn the tree any more.

He used his Real Eye and noticed that the latter’s life force was running out, and would soon disappear.

It would really be destroyed if things continued as they were.

Storing his flames was done quickly to avoid the worst outcome.

!!

The Mother of Light heaved a sigh of relief, but she slumped as she sat on the charred wood.

Once a mighty goddess, now, she was about to be humiliated. The difference was so stark it almost suffocated her.

Her dignity was gone!

But, she didn’t want to die.

Those who possessed intelligence would eventually fear death.

It was especially so for her, someone who had existed for so long. Her life could go on for much longer and she didn’t want it to end just like that.

Wang Teng looked at the tree lady and said, “What did you just say? Say it again.”

Ferya: …

This guy is not even listening.

The Mother of Light looked blankly at the human and repeated her words emotionlessly. It was as if her brain were fried.

“Does the Light Sap have any side effects?” Wang Teng was doubtful. “You’re just trying to fool me. You don’t think I wouldn’t know that consuming Light Sap would destroy one’s potential and any future growth, do you?”

“That’s what the light velvet people told you,” the tree spirit said, “The origin power is too important to leave it with the light velvet people. They only had an incomplete version.”

Ferya couldn’t help herself and interrupted, “Are you telling the truth?”

“I’m already in this state; there’s no need for me to lie,” Mother of Light replied calmly.

Ferya was a little agitated.

Eternal life!

If word spread, it would definitely cause an uproar.

Martial warriors who were nearing the limit of their lifespan would definitely be obsessed and flock to snatch the Light Sap.

If that came to pass, there would be a bloodbath on the planet.

Such an effect was almost no different from that of the actual Tree of Light.

Could it be that this tree is the real Tree of Light?

However, she glanced at Wang Teng and saw him frown, as if pondering about something. She then suppressed the excitement in her heart and waited to see what he had to say.

He was a bit wicked, but he was quite reliable in the end.

“You’re probably not the Tree of Light.” Wang Teng squinted.

“I am the Tree of Light,” the tree lady replied.

“No, you’re not,” he countered.

Mother of Light: …

Ferya: ???

She didn’t know what the human was trying to achieve. Why is he so sure that this spiritual tree is not the legendary Tree of Light?

“If I’m not the Tree of Light, then what am I?” the Mother of Light asked.

Wang Teng narrowed his eyes a bit as he considered using the Bewitch skill on the spiritual tree.

He had never used the skill on a tree, so he wasn’t sure if it would work. Still, he thought it was possible since she had a spiritual body.

“Wang Teng, I got it.” Round Ball’s voice was suddenly heard in Wang Teng’s mind.

The young man was stunned for a moment. It was quite coincidental. He then asked, “What is it?”

“It’s the Tree of Radiance!” said the little one.

“The Tree of Radiance!” Wang Teng frowned; he had never heard about it.

Round Ball explained, feeling excited, “That’s right. It’s a spirit tree of the light element. Although mystical, it can’t be compared to the real Tree of Light. She’s not lying to you; the Light Sap can extend a person’s life without any side effects, but it only adds a thousand years to your life span, not an eternity.”

“It’s actually real.” Wang Teng was surprised. “Even a thousand years is good enough.”

“Yes, a thousand years. This is something an ordinary spiritual being can do,” Round Ball added.

“I knew this Mother of Light wasn’t being that honest.” Wang Teng shook his head in his heart.

“Hahaha, but I still found out about it.” Round Ball laughed.

“It’s all thanks to you,” said the young hero.

“I had a hard time finding the data. I dug through countless ancient books and records before it finally came out,” Round Ball said.

“I’ll take note of your contributions.” Wang Teng smiled.

Round Ball snickered, but felt suspicious. “Why do I feel like you don’t seem to be too surprised?”

“It’s useless to me, unless I reach the limit of my lifespan. Do you think this would ever happen with my cultivation speed?” the hero replied calmly.

“You make so much sense I can’t refute.” Round Ball shook his head. “Anyone else would have jumped for joy.”

“However, this would be perfect for my family.” Wang Teng rubbed his chin.

His parents were past the cultivation age. He had given them lots of resources, but their cultivation speeds weren’t fast. They might need the special sap someday.

There was also his grandfather to take into account. His life was close to the end, but this could be different with the Light Sap; having an extra millennium of life was possible. This would allow for him to reach a higher cultivation stage.

Wang Teng’s sudden silence made the Mother of Light think he didn’t know what she was and was smug about it.

“I am the Tree of Light,” she said calmly, “You should consider my request. Set me free and I will give you the Light Sap; otherwise, you will get nothing.”

“Is that so?” Wang Teng sneered. “Tree of Radiance!”

The Mother of Light was startled. There was horror in her eyes as she looked at Wang Teng in disbelief.

“Tree of Radiance!” Ferya was taken aback. “Are you saying that she’s a Tree of Radiance, not the Tree Of Light?”

“That’s right. She’s just a Tree of Radiance.” Wang Teng nodded.

“You, how dare you lie to me.” Ferya was enraged.

“How do you know about my kind?” The tree spirit’s expression wasn’t too good. Her bargaining chips were less after her identity was exposed.

“I’m knowledgeable, and there’s nothing I haven’t seen before,” said the young hero.

Round Ball: …

“Does that mean the Light Sap is a lie as well?” Ferya asked anxiously.

“It’s not all lies.” Wang Teng glanced at her.

She frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”

“The Tree of Radiance’s Light Sap can only extend one’s lifespan for a thousand years. That eternal life claim is nonsense,” Wang Teng explained.

“A thousand years,” the girl murmured, feeling slightly relieved.

At least it’s a thousand years. It’s enough!

“Now, I will give you two choices,” Wang Teng said to the tree spirit, “Either you acknowledge me as master, or die.”

“You!” The Mother of Light was furious. “A mere mortal is unfit to be my master!”

“Oh, you don’t seem to understand the situation yet.” Wang Teng sneered. “Looks like you want to die.”

“I won’t acknowledge you, even if you kill me.” The Mother of Light was prideful, so she stood her ground.

“I shall kill you then,” Wang Teng said indifferently.

The tree lady looked directly into Wang Teng’s eyes and was terrified.

He’s serious!

He would really kill her if she didn’t agree.

“Wait, we found this tree together. Why is she going to acknowledge you as master?” Ferya wasn’t satisfied.

“Can you deal with her without my help?” Wang Teng asked back.

“You can’t handle her without me, either,” Ferya retorted.

“You’re wrong. It would just take me some extra effort. I can finish her off with my divine flames.”

Ferya was at a loss.

She knew his claim was true. If she were alone, she wouldn’t be able to deal with the Tree of Radiance. It was different if it was Wang Teng, though; dealing with the spirit creature would only be a matter of time.

“I don’t care. I put in effort as well; I can’t let you have everything.” Ferya rolled her eyes. She still couldn’t accept it.

Her attitude attested to a great truth—never reason with a woman!

The Mother of Light’s eyes flickered with joy.

Both youngsters were quarreling. Them fighting was the best scenario; she could find a way out like this.

“I’ll just share some of Light Sap with you when I get some,” Wang Teng said.

Ferya only hesitated for a moment. “Then… okay. Remember to share some with me.”

Mother of Light: …

What the hell?

She agreed too easily!

Is she really a woman? How could she be so easily satisfied?

She looked at Ferya’s eyes, expecting better from her.

“All right, we have an agreement.” Wang Teng was relieved. This girl was surprisingly easy to talk with. He then looked at the tree lady. “What do you say now?”

“Do you think you have won?” The Mother of Light said coldly, “If I die, you will get nothing.”

“Oh.” Wang Teng smiled meaningfully and released the Martial Wisdom left behind by the mysterious woman.

Boom!

The horrifying energy overwhelmed the tree spirit.

“You! You! You…” The Mother of Light was unable to stand up straight. Her eyes widened, as if she just saw a ghost. She asked the young hero in disbelief, “How did you get this Martial Wisdom?”

“You don’t need to know. I’m asking you, do you acknowledge me as your master?” Wang Teng responded.

Ferya looked at them suspiciously.

What are they talking about?

Martial Wisdom?

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Is that part of the legacy he got from the stone slab?

But, what does it have to do with the Tree of Radiance?

The spirit’s eyes flickered when she heard his answer. She then took a few deep breaths to calm down as she recalled something. She then asked via voice transmission, “Did you get the legacy left by her?”

There was a trace of yearning and admiration in her voice, along with a sense of awe that couldn’t be concealed.

“Guess,” Wang Teng said.

“…” The Mother of Light’s eyebrows were twitching.

Guess your head!

Her reactions gave her away; Wang Teng knew his guess was right. The Tree of Radiance had been left by the mysterious woman.

Their temperaments were very different, and the Mother of Light could never be compared to that mysterious woman. However, their appearances were somewhat familiar.

He felt it back then, and was finally confirming his suspicion.

“I’ll count to ten. I will make my move if you don’t accept.” A green flame appeared in Wang Teng’s hand.

The tree lady was shocked and flustered.

“Ten!” Wang Teng shouted; the flame in his hand was about to be thrown out.

The Mother of Light almost cursed. She rushed to answer, “Wait!”

Ferya was speechless.

Why the hell was he counting like that?

The Mother of Light was afraid that the human would really do it and hurriedly said via voice transmission, “I can acknowledge you as master if you really obtained her legacy.”

“Hand over your spirit origin,” Wang Teng said.

The spirit origin was the core of spiritual beings who possessed intelligence. It was a similar case with the spiritual flames.

Once the spirit origin was possessed by others, it was tantamount to handing over one’s life and destiny to another.

If the origin was extinguished, it would dissipate the being’s intelligence and would cease to exist.

Even if the original body remained, she would no longer be herself. Even if she gained intelligence again, it would be a different existence.

The Mother of Light gritted her teeth and finally gave up resisting. She shut her eyes and a faint spiritual light emerged from the physical tree.

Wang Teng’s spiritual power surged from his forehead and pulled it into his mind.

Showing no resistance, the Mother of Light drifted from the tree and knelt in front of Wang Teng.

Ferya didn’t even know what happened. She just saw the tree lady hand over her spirit origin and surrender to Wang Teng.
