Compared with Yu An's outer tree body, this little tree inside the Source Sea could certainly be called tiny.
At present, the entire Source Sea was only three chi across.
And the Origin Small Tree of his soul was only about four or five inches tall.
However, beneath Yu An's awareness, every detail was crystal clear.
The little tree was very different from the tree body in the outside world. Its existence lay between the real and the unreal. It was verdant from top to bottom, and gave off a faint glow.
Its roots were anchored in nothingness. Its trunk bore a total of twenty-four branches, and each branch had twelve leaves hanging from it.
Yu An didn't know what these two numbers represented, but he had a vague feeling that they were exactly as they should be.
It seemed that some kind of secret was hidden within them.
Every leaf on the branches was covered in mysterious patterns. Whenever a little life force trickled down beside the tree, the leaves would absorb it, and the little tree itself seemed to glow faintly.
In Yu An's eyes, this little tree was like a perfect work of art. No matter how critical the gaze, it couldn't find a single flaw.
At the same time, he understood that the key to his future growth and evolution lay in this little tree.
With a thought, Yu An's awareness left the Source Sea and settled where the Seed of Return and Hide had originally been. Just as he'd expected, the spot was now completely empty.
As for the location of the Source Sea, it could be inside the tree body or in any of its roots, because it was both a space and an origin point.
Unless someone could refine his entire tree body
