It wasn't that Ling Tian didn't need a leaf from the Enlightenment Sacred Tree containing the Law of Time. He simply needed one containing the Soul Law even more. With it, he could make rapid progress in that law and reach great perfection sooner. Then he would be able to save Lian Xin.
Because all his thoughts were focused on this, he hadn't given the Enlightenment Sacred Tree's words much consideration.
Seeing that the Enlightenment Sacred Tree had been silent for a long time, Ling Tian grew a little anxious. "Is that not possible?"
"Well, well..." The Enlightenment Sacred Tree stammered. "That leaf was cut off not long ago, so... so..."
"It was cut off?!" Ling Tian raised his voice. Then he hurriedly asked, "Do you know who has that leaf? I..."
After sensing for a moment, the Enlightenment Sacred Tree said angrily, "It's in the hands of the brat who injured me!"
"In Po Tian's hands!" A cold glint flashed through Ling Tian's eyes, and a faint killing intent stirred.
Feeling that killing intent, the Enlightenment Sacred Tree instinctively fled dozens of yards away. But it soon sensed the murderous intent wasn't directed at it, so it slowly crept back and continued absorbing Chaos Qi to heal its injuries.
"Ling Tian, Po Tian's cultivation is far higher than yours now, and he has plenty of experts around him. There are even two experts at the Ancient God level. You can't act recklessly," Po Tian advised. Sensing Ling Tian's killing intent gradually fade, he breathed a little easier. "Now that we know he has the leaf, it'll be easy enough. Once your cultivation improves, you can find a way to take it from him."
Ling Tian nodded, but he was in no mood to speak.
"You really are devoted, kid.
