World Tree

Finally, there is electricity. I am alive.

"Who is that?" Cheng Jue asked in confusion.

"Ah, Master, can't you tell my voice apart? I am so sad, sob, sob, sob."

Right at that moment, a ray of golden light burst forth from Cheng Jue's tree trunk.

Cheng Jue looked closely and saw a glazed crystal glass ball. As Cheng Jue looked at it, a piece of information appeared in Cheng Jue's consciousness.

Grotto-Heaven Pearl, Grade: Primordial Supreme Treasure, is the companion supreme treasure of the World Tree Cheng Jue.

"Huh, this voice—you are the smart assistant from my past-life phone," Cheng Jue asked uncertainly.

"Master, you finally remembered me." A flash of light appeared, and the Grotto-Heaven Pearl before Cheng Jue transformed into a delicate and exquisite elf girl.

The elf girl lunged forward right in front of Cheng Jue, her eyes hazy with tears as she said, "Wuwuwu, Master, you never called out for Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi thought that Master didn't want Xiao Yi anymore, wuwu."

"Th-this." Seeing such a cute elf girl crying, Cheng Jue immediately stretched out a tree branch and patted the elf girl on the head. Fortunately, during this time, Cheng Jue had been cultivating, and by now could move freely using hands transformed from branches.

For a moment, Cheng Jue did not even know what to ask. "You are Xiao Yi, how did you... how did you become like this?"

Xiao Yi wiped the tears streaming down her face and recalled, "Xiao Yi is not sure either. I was just all dazed and fuzzy, and then I ended up like this."

Seeing how muddled Xiao Yi was, Cheng Jue stopped pressing. "Then Xiao Yi, do you have any functions?"

"Heehee, Xiao Yi is very capable now." As she spoke, Xiao Yi emitted a mysterious yellow light.

Cheng Jue felt the vision go dark, and suddenly appeared high up in the sky tens of thousands of meters in the air, looking down at the ground.

The ground was entirely yellowish-brown, and only the patch where Cheng Jue stood had a trace of green.

"Master, look over there." Xiao Yi appeared in front of Cheng Jue and pointed ahead. Cheng Jue cast a gaze and discovered a golden curtain of light protecting the area where Cheng Jue resided.

"Master, do you know why the Grotto-Heaven Pearl is called the Grotto-Heaven Pearl?" Xiao Yi asked mysteriously.

"Why?" Cheng Jue asked curiously.

"Because as long as it is a place I protect, it will turn into a grotto-heaven world, and I, Xiao Yi, am the Heavenly Dao of this world." Xiao Yi puffed out her small chest with a look that begged for praise.

Cheng Jue had no choice but to encourage her. "Our Xiao Yi is still the most capable."

"Master, not only that, Xiao Yi has other functions as well. One of them is that I can query the information of items within the Grotto-Heaven."

Hearing this, Cheng Jue asked curiously, "Xiao Yi, can you check my information?"

Xiao Yi came before Cheng Jue and said, "Master, you just need to silently recite 'check information'. Xiao Yi herself is Master's companion spiritual treasure."

After listening to Xiao Yi's introduction, Cheng Jue looked at that tree body of self, and swish, a curtain of light immediately floated up before the eyes.

Name: Cheng Jue

Race: World Tree (Elf Tree, Tree of Life)

Introduction: A miraculous tree possessing the wonder of creating life, a peculiar tree capable of traveling across worlds.

World Inhabited: Primordial World

Worlds Able to Travel To: None

Realm: Not Yet Immortal

Spiritual Treasures: Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler (Merit Supreme Treasure), Grotto-Heaven Pearl (Primordial Supreme Treasure)

"I never expected that I would actually become a World Tree. No wonder it wasn't strange that my fruits dropped onto the ground previously and turned into other lifeforms." Having looked at the information displayed by Xiao Yi about self, Cheng Jue also unlocked quite a few doubts.

"Xiao Yi, how strong of an attack can your sky curtain withstand?" Cheng Jue asked out of curiosity, since this after all concerned Cheng Jue's personal safety.

"This..." Xiao Yi scratched her head, thought about it, and said, "Master, Xiao Yi isn't very clear on this either."

Cheng Jue was puzzled. "Xiao Yi, aren't you the artifact spirit of the Grotto-Heaven Pearl? How could you not know?"

Xiao Yi answered helplessly, "Although Master's Xiao Yi has become the artifact spirit of the Grotto-Heaven Pearl, I don't know how powerful the experts of this world are, nor am I clear on the realm divisions of this world, so I completely cannot use them as a reference."

"Is that so?"

As Cheng Jue's mobile phone assistant in the past life, Xiao Yi could completely understand Master's worries, and thus consoled, "Master, you don't need to be afraid. Although the defense strength is unclear, Xiao Yi can still sense that Xiao Yi's self is very strong."

After speaking, Xiao Yi even struck a pose showing how capable she was. "Besides, Master, Xiao Yi also has a shielding function, so we cannot be seen from the outside."

Finally hearing some good news, Cheng Jue let out a breath of relief. "That would be just great."

Having asked all that needed to be asked, Cheng Jue then said to Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, you can head back first."

"Alright Master, you can summon me at any time if anything comes up." After speaking, Xiao Yi transformed back into a pearl once more. This time, instead of entering Cheng Jue's sea of consciousness, she hung from a branch, glowing with precious light under the sun's illumination.

To think that upon transmigrating into the Primordial World, even the mobile phone assistant would follow along across worlds—truly, timing is fate.

Putting this matter to the back of the mind, Cheng Jue dove back into the sea of consciousness to search for the other spiritual treasure, the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler.

I never imagined that this spiritual treasure would also be a companion to me. In the past life, Cheng Jue could not quite remember whose hands the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler ended up in within the Primordial World.

On the other hand, another acquired merit defensive spiritual treasure, the Heaven-and-Earth Exquisite Pagoda, was extremely famous in later generations, being precisely the companion spiritual treasure of the Three Pure Ones' Lord Laozi.

Just earlier when Xiao Yi displayed personal information and discovered that besides the Grotto-Heaven Pearl possessed by Xiao Yi, the spiritual treasure column also contained a Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler, words could not describe how excited Cheng Jue had been.

Swish, a flash of light swept past, and the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler appeared right before Cheng Jue's eyes.

Is this the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler? It truly lives up to being a merit supreme treasure; the moment Cheng Jue summoned it out, a sense of intimacy from the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler could be felt.

As a merit supreme treasure floating before Cheng Jue, the faint spirituality within could be perceived, hazy and vague just like a newly born child.

Cheng Jue estimated that the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler would need to be nurtured for some time before it would possess the consciousness of an ordinary child.

As for the might of the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler.

Right now, because Cheng Jue's realm was low and shallow, only a small portion of the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler's might could be utilized. Fortunately, it was Cheng Jue's companion spiritual treasure; otherwise, even using it would have been difficult.

If one were to say that Lord Laozi's Heaven-and-Earth Exquisite Pagoda possessed the strongest defense among acquired merit spiritual treasures, then Cheng Jue's Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler possessed the strongest offense among acquired merit spiritual treasures.

After scrutinizing the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler for a long time, Cheng Jue hung it up on the tree crown just like the Grotto-Heaven Pearl. For a moment, Cheng Jue constantly radiated the precious light belonging to merit.

If this scene before the eyes were witnessed by other living beings, they would also look on with extreme envy, but unfortunately it was already blocked by the defense belonging to the Grotto-Heaven Pearl.

Perhaps this was the marvelous utility of merit; the moment Cheng Jue hung the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler on the tree crown, under the illumination of the light of merit, strange and peculiar ideas popped up regarding the very crude breathing cultivation technique developed by Cheng Jue's self.

This made Cheng Jue itch to immediately enter a state of cultivation, but upon careful thought, there were still unplanted fruits on the tree crown right now, and merit might fall down as a result.

Thinking of this, the urge to cultivate was immediately suppressed.
