That pair of eyes were as bright as stars when angry. His lips were lightly pressed together, and his killing intent caused his pale green clothes and hair to float around him.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

All of this together made up the person in front of him.

If this person was not a boy who looked less than ten years old, Chi Lan would definitely realize that his heart had been moved.

Unfortunately, this was a little boy, so Chi Lan subconsciously tightened his grasp on his sword, his expression turning odd.D5TOn7

This was an opportunity to completely change his spiritual roots. He wasn't about to give up just because a tree demon or spirit appeared. "Perish together?" His voice was cold. His entire body was clearly ablaze with fire, but his voice was so icy that it made people tremble. "Based on you?"

Xue Ling felt stimulated by such words. It was rare for him to be unable to take advantage of the man. Now, he narrowed his eyes and looked the man up and down before saying, "Yes. Based on me."

The sword had already crossed the space between them. The man was apparently not frightened by such words. He sneered and said, "Then let's give it a try."

"Did you really think I was joking?" Xue Ling waved, and green leaves flew out of his hand, flying over quickly to devour the flames on the sword. "You want to cut me down only because you can regain your sanity in front of me. You can't believe that it's something my trunk can casually do, right?"wpdQ36

Chi Lan pursed his lips.

"Lightning and fire is entangled on your body, but you only have a single spiritual root. Your spiritual root is not pure. For you to still have this kind of power, it means that you are in trouble. When you came here three days ago, you were about to lose your mind. Without my aura, your consciousness would have been slowly eroded by your spiritual root, and you would finally become an emotionless murderer." His face was cold as he spoke these words in a slightly mocking tone. After all, as a tree, it was normal for him to have no affection for a person who would cut down trees without a word. "If you cut me down now, you might as well just wait to lose your mind completely, and then cut yourself to death."

Chi Lan: "..."

"What, not cutting anymore?" Xue Ling's face showed his unhappiness. His mouth was curled up in a cold sneer, and it made Chi Lan's heart flustered. X9Hygp

He looked rather embarrassed. He stood frozen for a while, then said, "I need to be mentally alert, so I won't let you go even if I don't cut you down."

System: "..." Hear that? How shameless did one have to be to say such a thing?

Xue Ling glanced at him lazily and said, "No problem. If you have the ability, then dig me out. If you can dig me out, I'll follow you." In any case, he couldn't stay here anymore. Instead of being cut in half, he might as well let the man bring him away.

Besides, the man's mutant fire and lightning root was beneficial to him. Absorbing that violent qi would help him become human faster.cQ6n4b

System: "..." It didn't know why, but it suddenly felt a chill come up from behind it. It always had the feeling that this man may not be so fortunate...

Chi Lan had no other choice, and for some strange, inexplicable reason, he had no way to deal with the little sapling in front of him.

Chi Lan had always disliked this kind of temperamental person. He didn't know why he couldn't find it in himself to hate when faced with this little fellow.

When he finished with the last shovel of dirt, the countless roots belonging to the Tree of Enlightenment were laid out in front of Chi Lan. He had not seen the roots of many trees before, but he was still shocked by the amount of roots this little sapling had.

Looking at the roots, he had the feeling that this tree had already been growing for ten thousand years.

Although, every time that little fellow mocked him for being young, he really wanted to sneer. sT9xuc

Since he had finished digging, Xue Ling was naturally free. At this point, he could already completely control the entire tree. So, he reduced the body and roots of the tree into a size that could fit in the palm of Chi Lan's hands, and even found a pool in order to wash the tree thoroughly from head to toe.

System: "..." It was clearly a tree. How could it act like an animal...

Chi Lan also had this question, but when he looked at the seedling who was well-behaved and resting in his palm, he felt that his entire heart had gone soft. He really didn't have any spare thoughts to care about things like that.

Venerable Crimson Flame had a reputation out in the world. They all said that his temper would explode at the slightest provocation, but in fact, Chi Lan's character was pretty good. From childhood, because of the suffering caused by his spiritual root's mutation, he was not talkative and his temper tended to be gloomy. Gloomy turned into iceberg, and because his whole body was always covered in fire qi, nobody could sense the cold heart hidden under the volcano. GgLZtQ

Now, it was totally different.

As the sapling said, with it around, he had no need to worry about his mind being eroded by the spiritual root and not being able to control himself. During this period of time, his illness had been getting better and better, and he believed that as long as he brought this tree with him, he would smoothly be able to ascend to the next realm without any problems. At that time, he could bring the little tree with him into heaven.

There was no more fire Qi coming out of his body to burn others when he was touched, so Chi Lan's original nature naturally made itself known. He was not good with words, but when he was together with the little sapling, he was willing to speak a little more to tease him, and looking at his proud little appearance, it seemed that something was scratching lightly at his heart.

Thank you for reading our translation!

Chi Lan did not know if it was due to the influence of his purified spiritual root, but his temperament was much better than before. Recently, his heart had softened a lot, although it was a tree that had been placed in there to be cared for... fFk1dE

Xue Ling: "Ha-ha."

Because the Tree of Enlightenment left, the entire Nankai Secret Realm collapsed. The people who had been sent out were all confused, and did not know what happened. Half a month later, all qi fluctuations from the secret realm disappeared completely. Only then did they realize that the secret realm had disappeared.

The news about Nankai Secret Realm's circumstances spread out for some time in the realm of cultivation. It was not until Chi Lan returned to Sky Sword Sect that the topic changed as cultivators began to discuss the great changes in Venerable Crimson Flame's personal image.

Chi Lan used to like wearing red clothing, but after he cured his temper, he changed back to wearing white clothing that was more in accordance with his nature. His entire person looked like an ice cube, and if it wasn't for the fact that the face was the same, and his overwhelming power, others would believe that he was a different person.vpQaUf

Chi Lan didn't say much when people came to inquire about the situation. He only said that he had found a way to suppress his spiritual root and that there would be no more incidents in the near future. Chi Clan was delighted for a good period of time by this news, and people in the world of cultivation also let out a relieved breath.

Everyone in Sky Sword Sect were also very happy, congratulating Chi Lan one after another.

It was wonderful not to have to worry all day long about whether Venerable Crimson Flame would inadvertently explode a mountain peak or something~

Xue Ling was also very satisfied with the environment in Sky Sword Sect's Still Peak. Qi was abundant, and the soil quality was very good. It was a very suitable place for him to take root and absorb the essence of the sun and moon. He gave it a high score.zBqx8i

Chi Lan's life was very monotonous - he simply cultivated every day. Xue Ling followed his example, and cultivated by his side. The system felt that this life was very boring - it might as well go back to the previous world. This world was more boring than anything had a right to be!

But soon, something interesting happened.

Xue Ling was about to transform.
