The moment she passed through the Flowing Light Passage and entered the Cecilia Demiplane, Kalaya felt a surge of almost tangible life force wash over her.
She took a deep breath, drawing a trace of that life force into her body.
Within a few seconds, she had determined the value of that single breath.
For an ordinary person who had yet to embark on a professional path, one breath could extend their life by thirty years.
Transcendents below the soul intent tier who were nearing the end of their lives could gain at least thirty to fifty more years by moving here.
Collecting herself, Kalaya looked up and saw a Life Tree standing forty-five meters tall.
Its leaves swayed in the breeze with a soft rustling sound.
"This really is astonishing!"
At those words, the corners of Velin's mouth lifted slightly, but his expression soon returned to normal. He walked beneath the Life Tree Seedling, took a blanket from his Space Ring, spread it on the ground, and gently laid Xuemiyya down.
Looking at his wife's sleeping face, Velin could not resist reaching out to pinch her cheek.
At that moment, Kalaya's attention was focused entirely on the Life Tree Seedling, and she did not notice.
Once he had amused himself enough, Velin withdrew his hand and turned toward Kalaya, who was still deep in thought. Rather than disturb her, he took out a low table, set some fruit on it, and sat beside Xuemiyya. Then he picked up a storybook and began reading as though no one else were there.
After an unknown stretch of time, Kalaya emerged from the illusion she had woven for herself. Only after sealing away the vast, tangled body of knowledge in a corner of her mind space did she begin examining her surroundings.
