Although he knew that the hymn magic of the Flower Rain Temple was much more powerful and mysterious than that of the Life Temple, he also felt that the reason why his injuries healed so quickly was not due to the power of that magic, but due to other reasons.
"It is indeed not a hymn of life, nor is it a medical skill, but an ancient tree of life." Since she already regarded Gao Weihu as a true friend, Mu Hanyan no longer concealed it and spoke frankly.
"Ancient Tree of Life?" Gao Weihu was even more surprised. He wondered what this had to do with the Ancient Tree of Life that was hundreds of thousands of miles away.
"Yes, although what you said last time about the spiritual fruit was just something you said casually, you did say something right by accident. The ancient tree of life did bring me some benefits. It left a seed in my heart meridian, which took root and sprouted and grew into an ancient tree of life. It contains enormous power that even I cannot fully understand." Having said this, Mu Hanyan was too lazy to hide anything and continued.
After all, he had already discovered the biggest secret, so the matter of the Ancient Tree of Life was of no consequence. With Gao Weihu's years of experience and shrewdness in the black market, he should have known the seriousness of the matter and would not reveal it to outsiders.
"I didn't expect that the Ancient Tree of Life would have such benefits. It is said that this Tree of Life was a prehistoric species discovered a million years ago. At that time, it had lost its vitality, leaving only a few seeds. Over the past million years, more than ten priests have obtained the seeds, but it did not bring any benefits to them themselves, but only brought some benefits to the temples where they were located. To be specific, the High Priest should be the first person to have this opportunity." Gao Weihu said with emotion.
Hearing his words, Mu Hanyan's heart moved slightly. Why was it that the seed of the Ancient Tree of Life would bring no benefit to anyone else, but in her hands, it could take root and sprout in her heart meridians, even connecting with her meridians and hidden veins?
Could it be that this ancient tree of life was originally related to her, and appeared in the Continent of Gods because of her?
Guessing this in her mind, Mu Hanyan once again focused her attention inward, "looking" at the ancient tree of life in her heart meridian.
It would have been fine if she hadn't looked at it, but after this look, Mu Hanyan's expression changed drastically.
In the heart, the ancient tree that was once lush and full of vitality was withering and dying. All the leaves had fallen off, leaving only bare branches hanging weakly, giving people a strange feeling of desolation and loneliness.
Only then did Mu Hanyan realize how immense the Qilin's vitality was. In order to make up for its lost vitality, even the Ancient Tree of Life had withered into this state.
Mu Hanyan was somewhat relieved that the Ancient Tree of Life hadn't completely lost its vitality and was still connected to her meridians and hidden veins. Her current strength was largely derived from the Ancient Tree of Life. Using it as a medium, her energy and spiritual power merged, greatly benefiting her combat power. If the Divine Tree of Life truly lost its vitality, her strength would likely decline significantly.
Mu Hanyan had a hunch that this ancient tree of life might be her chance to break through the realms of Sword Saint and Soul Priest in the future and advance to a higher realm. Without the ancient tree of life, it might be difficult for her to break through the cultivation limits of the Holy Continent.
"Master Priest, what's wrong?" Gao Weihu asked when he saw that Mu Hanyan looked unhappy.
"It's nothing. Something went wrong with the ancient tree of life. Maybe it lost too much vitality in order to save Liuguang." Mu Hanyan said.
As long as Liuguang can be cured, any price paid is worth it. What's more, the ancient tree of life has not completely lost its vitality, which Mu Hanyan thinks is a blessing.
Seeing that Mu Hanyan didn't seem too concerned, Gao Weihu didn't ask any further questions. He knew only too well how serious the little Qilin's injuries were. It was perfectly normal for the Ancient Tree of Life to have severely damaged its vitality after rescuing it.
Moreover, he didn't know how important the Ancient Tree of Life was to Mu Hanyan. To him, no matter how rare the Ancient Tree of Life was, its value was far from comparable to the legendary Qilin beast.
"Grunt, hum..." Seeing Mu Hanyan throw him aside, Liuguang felt neglected. He threw himself into Mu Hanyan's arms again and cried out in grievance.
"Speak human language." Mu Hanyan patted the little guy.
It would have been fine if she had just been seriously injured, and there was nothing wrong with her acting cute and coquettish, but now that her injuries have all healed, and she's still grunting like a pig, Miss Mu can't stand it.
Speaking of which, Miss Mu had been unhappy from the start about the Young Master Qilin transforming into a piglet. After all, he was a legendary beast, and transforming into a tiger or a leopard would have been much cooler. If carnivores weren't your thing, you could have transformed into a deer or a unicorn—at least that would have looked somewhat aesthetically pleasing. But why did he choose to be a pig? Did he really think the more silly and cute, the cuter it was?
Because of such a sword pet, Miss Mu had been often ridiculed, mocked, and even despised. It had almost become an eternal pain in her heart.
But this guy was obviously able to speak, but he still made a few grunting sounds from time to time, which was simply rubbing salt into Miss Mu's wounds.
"Hmph!" The little guy imitated the sound of a pig again.
"You're still coming?" Mu Hanyan looked helplessly at the little piglet lying in her arms and acting coquettishly, and wanted to throw it into the pet space.
After all, it had just recovered from a serious injury, and the laws of heaven and earth in the Continent of Gods had some influence on it. It would be more suitable for it to recuperate by returning to the pet space.
But as soon as she thought about it, Mu Hanyan realized something was wrong. She was unable to send Liuguang back to the pet space.
"Grunt... grunt..." Liuguang squealed like a pig again, his eyes full of anxiety.
Mu Hanyan then realized that the little guy didn't want to speak human language, but he couldn't speak it.
"Master, it seems that its Qilin bloodline has been damaged and it has lost all its strength. Not only can it not return to the pet space, but it can't even speak human language." Taowu said in a low voice.
It had been hit by Bafeng before and was seriously injured. It turned into the appearance of a kitten again, which was quite cute.
What! Mu Hanyan was shocked. For exotic or divine beasts, bloodline is more important than that of human cultivators. Even if a human cultivator does not have the bloodline of a divine guardian, they can rely on talent and hard work, and through continuous cultivation, become as powerful as a divine guardian, or even surpass a divine guardian. This is also a key reason why humans can become the most intelligent creatures in the world.
However, exotic beasts are different from divine beasts. Their bloodlines themselves determine their potential for cultivation. Low-level exotic beasts can never have the same qualifications as high-level exotic beasts. It is impossible to have the same strength as high-level exotic beasts through hard cultivation. As for competing with divine beasts, that is even more wishful thinking.
