4383 The Spherical Order Token
When Duan Ling Tian’s vision returned to him, he found that he had already left the secret realm and returned to the place where they were held captives by the Crimson Demon. The black-clad young man who had left ahead of him had also left, nowhere to be seen.
After returning to his cave, Duan Ling Tian asked the World Cleansing Divine Water in his Little World, “Sister Water, did you and the Divine Tree of Life gain anything from the secret realm the Crimson Demon opened?”
Although Duan Ling Tian had never communicated with the Divine Tree of Life, he knew it had its own consciousness. It could not communicate with him now because it had yet to return to its peak condition. Only the Five Divine Elements who had spent years with it could communicate with it at this moment. Needless to say, although he could not communicate with the Divine Tree of Life, it would still help him when it sensed that he was in danger.
“It’s just as I expected. There’s nothing special about the secret realm,” the World Cleansing Divine Water replied, “The secret realm in the Crimson Demon’s Little World is created with the help of his Divine Tree of Life. In other words, the energy that supports the secret realm came from the Divine Tree of life in his Little World. After discussing the matter with the other Divine Elements, we concluded that the best time for you to escape this place is when the next secret realm opens. For this reason, you have to cultivate diligently before the secret realm opens again. The chances of you escaping are greater if you’re an advanced Supreme God when you enter the secret realm.”
Just as they previously speculated, Duan Ling Tian learned from the World Cleansing Divine Water that the secret realm was supported by the Crimson Demon’s Divine Tree of Life. Duan Ling Tian’s Divine Tree of Life previously took root in the Little World of a supreme powerhouse, after all. As such, it was also familiar with the techniques and requirements for a supreme powerhouse to create a secret realm in his or her Little World. Coupled with the World Cleansing Divine Water’s knowledge, everyone was confident about helping Duan Ling Tian to escape from the Crimson Demon’s Little World.
‘Advanced Supreme God…’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes shone brightly as he thought to himself. He took a deep breath to calm down before he brought out the spatial ring Wang Yi Yuan gave him and brought out the mysterious object that Wang Yi Yuan mentioned before his death.
The object was spherical, and it looked like an order token. There were intricate and ancient carvings on the surface of the object that Duan Ling Tian was not familiar with. He could not tell if the carvings were just pictures or words. Apart from that, the material the object was forged from was so extraordinary that even the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword could not leave a scratch on it.
In the beginning, Duan Ling Tian thought that the spherical object was a Profound Divine Metal since it roughly resembled the Profound Divine Metal in its primitive form. However, the Profound Divine Metal in his Little World disagreed.
“This is definitely not a Profound Divine Metal,” the Profound Divine Metal said.
“Then, what is it?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.
“Little Tian, toss it into your Little World. Make sure it lands at the root of the Divine Tree of Life,” the World Cleansing Divine Water suddenly said.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up with anticipation as he tossed the spherical object into his Little World as instructed. He could tell that World Cleansing Divine Water intended for the Divine Tree of Life to have a look at the object.
‘Why didn’t I think of it earlier? After all, the Divine Tree of Life used to be rooted in a supreme powerhouse’s Little World so it has to be very knowledgeable. Wang Yi Yuan and I might not recognize the object, but it may not be the case for the Divine Tree of Life…’
Duan Ling Tian watched expectantly as the Divine Tree of Life glowed brilliantly.
As the Divine Tree of Life’s branches reached toward the spherical object, a faint vital energy from the spherical object lit up and tried to stop the branches from approaching it. However, it was no match for the Divine Tree of Life’s vital energy and was quickly snuffed out.
‘It has vital energy? What is it exactly?’ Duan Ling Tian was surprised to see the pure vital energy from the spherical order token. Although the energy was weak, it was identical to the Divine Tree of Life’s energy. It was also purer than Duan Ling Tian’s vital energy when he used the law of life. According to the World Cleansing Divine Water, he had to comprehend the law of life to the perfect form if he wanted to produce such a pure energy.
The branches of the Divine Tree of Life curled around the spherical order token before they released a gentle flow of vital energy into it.
Initially, Duan Ling Tian was puzzled, but after a few moments, his eyes widened in shock when he saw the spherical order token greedily devouring the vital energy from the Divine Tree of Life. However, the Divine Tree of Life did not resist at all and allowed the spherical object to absorb its vital energy.
Duan Ling Tian could not help but ask the World Cleansing Divine Water, “Sister Water, what’s going on?”
“I’m not sure as well,” the World Cleansing Divine Water replied, “I asked the Divine Tree of Life about it, but there’s no response. It seems like it’s inconvenient for it to reply. Let’s wait for a while. Although I’m not sure what’s happening, I can feel that the Divine Tree of Life is willingly letting it absorb its vital energy. I don’t know what the object is, but I’m sure it’s not ordinary.” After a pause, she asked curiously, “Little Tian, where did you obtain it?”
Duan Ling Tian told the World Cleansing Divine Water about Wang Yi Yuan and everything that happened.
After listening to Duan Ling Tian, the World Cleansing Divine Water could not help but exclaim, “You’ll owe him a huge favor if this thing happens to be useful to you!”
Duan Ling Tian nodded as his eyes shone with determination. “Even if this object is useless to me, I’ll definitely carry out his final wish to the best of my ability because of his trust in me…”
“You’re a responsible man, Little Tian,” the World Cleansing Divine Water remarked.
Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian and the World Cleansing Divine Water waited for a response from the Divine Tree of Life.
…
After three days and three nights, the Divine Tree of Life finally stopped supplying vital energy to the spherical order token. Compared to the beginning, the Divine Tree of Life’s light had dimmed. Obviously, it had depleted quite an amount of vital energy.
Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian did not urge for a response from the Divine Tree of Life. Even a person would be exhausted after supplying energy to another person for three days and three nights.
After a while, the World Cleansing Divine Water’s excited voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s mind.
“Little Tian! The object that Wang Yi Yuan gave you is a treasure!”
Duan Ling Tian looked confused when he heard the World Cleasing Divine Water’s words. Although he knew that the spherical order token was not ordinary after seeing the Divine Tree of Life’s reaction to it, he did not dare to have high hopes. Moreover, even if it helped with the comprehension of his law of life, it would be impossible for him to forsake the law of space and the law of time for the law of life. After all, in his opinion, the law of space was stronger than the law of life, and the law of time was stronger than the law of space.
