"You eight holy trees?"
Austin shook his head.
The eight holy trees might be powerful, but they were still no match for cultivators such as the leader of the Sword Palace and the leader of the Yaksha Palace.
After all, they were the top masters of this universe.
"Trust us, young man.
We eight brothers will protect you from harm so you don't have to worry."
Sherman was obviously trying to reassure him. It could sense that Austin was worried.
Austin pursed his lips and said nothing.
It seemed like Sherman was exactly like the supreme holy tree who always bragged.
The ship continued to sail across the sea of stars, heading towards the other side of it.
"It is said that the sea of stars came from nine drops of Celestial Star Water."
Austin looked out at the vast sea before them. He marveled.
All things in the world had their own magic. Even nine drops of Celestial Star Water could turn into a vast ocean.
"The Celestial Star Water is indeed a grand sight to behold!" the supreme holy tree exclaimed.
It climbed down to the side of the ship to admire the water below. Unknowingly, its mouth was drooling.
Austin approached the supreme holy tree and asked, "What's so special about the Celestial Star Water?"
"That would be a long story to tell. But it's enough to say that it has a lot of wonderful properties.
Just know that one drop of the Celestial Star Water is as heavy as a thousand stars.
If there are nine drops in this sea, then that means the sea weighs the same as nine thousand stars.
You can imagine how much power it contains and how dangerous one's attack could be if he refines it."
The supreme holy tree looked serious as it said this.
"I see what you mean.
And you are right."
Austin nodded his head in agreement.
It was known that a star was equivalent to a world.
This meant that one drop of the Celestial Star Water also weighed a thousand worlds!
How terribly heavy it must be.
Even sect ancestor
Peterson the Taoist Ancestor had given him an order to treat the eight holy trees as his masters. And so he would.
"Very good.
Please lead the way then."
The supreme holy tree calmly waved its thick branches in the air, relishing the feeling of being the master of the giant.
"Yes, sir!"
The giant turned around and led the way.
A few moments passed.
A huge palm appeared on the offing. It was as tall as a mountain, blocking their way.
"Another giant!"
Austin blurted out. He knew what it meant without asking.
"Yes, he is,"
Sherman laughed.
Then, Sherman took out another yellow rune paper and began chanting. Afterwards, it threw the rune paper at the gigantic palm.
In an instant, the sea roared and waves began to surge. Another giant rose high until his head touched the sky.
"Masters, it is an honor to serve you."
The giant bowed respectfully to the eight holy trees.
The supreme holy tree laughed.
"I really didn't expect that old bastard to be this generous. I had my doubts at first.
But here are the two giant servants in front of us now."
The supreme holy tree continued to laugh giddily.
The two giants began to walk, leading the way to the other side of the sea.
"We are finally ashore."
Austin and the others left the ship and landed on the shore.
