A Leaf Could Subdue the World
Upon seeing the sapling, everyone was stunned!
"What kind of tree is that? Why do I feel a sense of awe and reverence for it?"
Kongming Holy Master was shocked and spoke.
"There's a sense of resonance between the spiritual energy within me and this tree. Is this... is this the origin of the Profound Heaven Realm?"
Even the Yuanyang Holy Lord was quite surprised!
At this moment, Dugu Chenlu gasped in shock, exclaiming, "This... this is the World Tree!"
World Tree!
Upon hearing this, the Yuanyang Holy Lord and the others were extremely shocked.
"What? The World Tree is actually here?"
"It seems the World Tree was once being chased by something and fled to the Southern Domain, where an unknown entity came to its aid. Now it appears that it was Senior Li who saved it!"
"Moreover, Senior Li also planted the World Tree... Isn't it a legend that the World Tree is a rare treasure of heaven and earth, impossible to cultivate in any soil? It would surely die if it left the Profound Yellow Sea of Mist... yet it survived here?"
For a moment, Holy Lord Cihang, Kongming Holy Master, and others were utterly shocked.
The World Tree is the foundation of an entire realm; its importance is paramount.
Moreover, the World Tree is born and dies with the world; there has never been a case of the World Tree being planted and cultivated by humans!
"This is terrifying! Just what kind of extraordinary being is Senior Li? He can even plant the World Tree..."
"It's unimaginable how high Senior Li's level has reached; we probably don't even have the right to look up to him..."
They were all shocked.
Moreover, the moment Li Fan poured a cup of tea, the sapling that had already been nurturing life suddenly sprouted a tender leaf!
Upon seeing this, everyone was even more dumbfounded and incredulous!
"Can a cup of tea bring such vitality back to the World Tree?"
"This is just too incredible!"
In that instant, everyone clearly sensed that the World Tree was filled with an unfathomable and mysterious Dao Rhyme —the rules governing the operation of heaven and earth, the profound principles of the world's evolution...
In that very instant!
Throughout the entire Profound Heaven Realm, countless chains of order suddenly appeared in countless spaces, radiating divine light, with golden runes flowing like water, covering all the heavens!
Suddenly, a terrifying tree shadow appeared in the entire sky of the Profound Heaven Realm!
All the golden chains come from its branches!
This terrifying tree shadow stretched across the entire sky of the Profound Heaven Realm, visible from the Western Desert, Central Continent, Eastern Wasteland, and Southern Domain!
It is supreme and unique!
The chain of order emitted a light that stretched for thousands of feet, now extending beyond the boundary!
At this moment, the misty white fog had disappeared, and the boundary wall was as clear as a thin piece of crystal. Countless beings and cultivators from the Profound Heaven Realm could easily see the scene outside the boundary wall in the entire chaotic ocean of void!
A terrifying storm vortex, seemingly carrying the power to World-Ending, swept in from the turbulent ocean of the void!
Countless floating wastelands were swept away with a gentle wave and turned into ashes, disappearing without a trace.
World-Ending vortex!
For a moment, everyone was horrified!
"Heavens! What is that thing? It's heading straight for our Profound Heaven Realm?"
"The massive storm generated in the turbulent ocean of void would tear apart even the Earth Profound Character Realm Earth Character Realm! Not a single living being could survive!"
"It's over. This time, our Profound Heaven Realm is truly doomed!"
The world was terrified.
At this moment, in the sky above the Profound Heaven Realm, the terrifying tree shadows, with countless branches shimmering with golden light, were reaching out towards the void vortex!
The World-Ending vortex has now stretched for billions of miles, sweeping across countless spaces, as vast as an endless Black Hole!
In comparison, the golden branches seemed like insignificant rays of light.
Countless golden chains of order traversed time and space, reaching the edge of the terrifying vortex.
However, the terrifying storm did not stop in the slightest because of the golden chains of order!
At this moment, the World-Ending Vortex is only a thousand miles away from the Profound Heaven Realm.
That terrifying, chilling aura of destruction emanated from it.
Countless crystal-like barriers shattered at that moment.
The turbulent currents in the void ocean, like a river bursting its banks, rushed wildly into the Profound Heaven Realm.
The World-Ending vortex has not yet arrived, but even these penetrating void currents are enough to destroy a world.
A ripple from the void ocean, falling upon the lower realms, brings unbearable horrors.
That terrifying golden tree shadow once again burst forth with boundless light. Its golden chains of order no longer extended outwards, but instead wove together a vast golden net to block the chaotic void currents from entering the Profound Heaven Realm!
It can only defend—although such defense is tantamount to waiting for its demise.
The void vortex closed in an instant, leaving only a hundred miles or so in distance!
Throughout the entire Profound Heaven Realm, every living being's heart was in their throat!
The whole world seemed to be dead silent.
The powerful murderer trembled, crawling and looking towards the outer realm.
Despair filled the eyes of the reclusive old man as he lay down in the coffin.
The lovers embraced tightly, wanting to die together...
"Alas, the World Tree of the Profound Heaven Realm has grown incredibly powerful in such a short time, but compared to this World-Ending vortex, it's still insignificant..."
"No one can stop it; this is the destiny of the Profound Heaven Realm."
"Just wait to die..."
Countless cultivators lamented!
In the Small Courtyard.
When the golden tree shadows appeared in the sky, Kongming Holy Master and the others were all extremely shocked.
Because they sensed that the World Tree was far more powerful than when the Ten Mystic Immortals crossed over from another realm.
However, the World Tree's resistance was utterly insignificant before that boundless, world- World-Ending vortex; even the boundary wall was shattered...
Everyone's face turned ashen!
How can we resist that?
It's too difficult, it's despairing!
Li Fan, however, was looking at the tender green leaf on the sapling.
"At least this tree is still alive."
Li Fan smiled and said, "Lu Rang, come, let me teach you another method of Art of Planting and Husbandry."
Li Fan had already resigned himself to fate. In any case, if this world were truly to be destroyed, there was nothing he could do as a mortal.
His personality is such that he doesn't create trouble for himself.
Since that's the case, then we should just do what we're supposed to do.
Every moment has its own unique meaning. And right now, the tree before us, about to be rejuvenated, is that meaning.
Li Fan didn't like wasting precious time.
Lu Rang stepped forward, somewhat dazed.
"When a withered tree is reborn and new leaves sprout, it has already accumulated a certain amount of strength. However, if you want the tree to truly survive and grow more vigorously, you need to strike while the iron is hot!"
Li Fan said, "Go fetch some water."
Upon hearing this, Lu Rang hurriedly went to the well and fetched a basin of water.
"Water it promptly, then cover it with topsoil."
Li Fan poured water on the soil, then picked up a hoe, turned over the soil, and covered the roots of the tree with it.
"If I'm not mistaken, the roots will be replenished, and the new leaves will grow rapidly."
He gently stroked the tender leaves.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the tender green leaves unfurled instantly.
That is, in that very instant.
In the Profound Heaven Realm, on that terrifying golden tree shadow, a tender green leaf suddenly emitted a dazzling light!
The branches that grow leaves are now extending beyond the boundary wall.
The green leaf then drifted down.
Drifting towards the terrifying, World-Ending vortex.
World-Ending vortex, sweeping across countless wastelands and engulfing endless void, capable of annihilating all realms!
A vibrant leaf falling towards it is as insignificant as a speck of dust on the roadside.
But when that leaf drifted into the terrifying vortex above...
Suddenly, the leaves unfurled and expanded, their veins stretching for billions of miles, turning the landscape into a verdant tapestry of stars!
That single leaf suddenly became boundless, spreading outwards and covering the entire vortex of World-Ending!
"Boom--"
At this moment, terrifying fluctuations spread throughout the void ocean!
The World-Ending vortex erupted wildly, causing countless star wastelands around it to explode, like a surging, towering wave, making all living beings in the universe tremble.
But the leaf, light and free, eventually fell!
The terrifying, World-Ending vortex vanished as the leaves fell!
In an instant, the sea of void suddenly calmed down!
The World-Ending vortex... has vanished!
At that moment, the whole world fell silent.
In the vast, Sea of Turbulent Currents void, there was only one green leaf, its verdant color almost dripping with moisture!
