"If the Demon Venerable's inherited memories were true, then one thing was certain: the Heaven-reaching Tree had already completely withered and died. There was no longer a World Tree in the world that bore the myriad heavens and worlds."
"In other words, branches from such a sacred tree had practically become extinct. Even if I could obtain other branches, they would have no life or vitality!"
Li Qing's brows were tightly furrowed, and they did not ease for a long while.
"I have no idea where Xia Wushuang obtained the Myriad Manifestation Immortal Formation. This formation's demands for materials are simply unimaginably high."
Even if he wanted to give up now, he could not. He could only grit his teeth and continue watering this branch, which had begun to show fresh green, with his own vitality essence.
Only when his lifespan had fallen to just over twenty thousand years did Li Qing finally stop.
A trace of helplessness flashed through his eyes, and he sighed softly. "These hundred and eighty thousand years of lifespan had better not have gone down the drain."
Saying this, he angrily flung the branch hard onto the ground.
Yet at that moment, a sudden change erupted. The entire Grotto-Heaven World began to tremble, as though the sky were collapsing and the earth splitting apart.
As the master of this Grotto-Heaven World, Li Qing possessed the highest authority over it. Shock showed on his face as he drew a deep breath. "How is it possible? The foundation of the worldstone has been shaken!"
The worldstone that formed the very foundation of this world was actually trembling. This was the key reason the Grotto-Heaven World had undergone such an upheaval.
Very quickly, Li Qing abruptly lowered his head and found the root cause behind the worldstone's trembling.
