Su Mo had now become allergic to every stone stele he saw; the moment he spotted one, he could not help wanting to read the writing on it.
Fortunately, this time, the writing on the stone stele was finally not his own.
Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the other things.
The ancient tree before him looked exactly like the Heart Tree outside, only much smaller by comparison.
Beside the stone stele beneath the ancient tree stood a stone platform, with a stone box resting on it.
The stone box shimmered with a blue-green light, very similar to the glow on the long dress of "Wen Ge" beside Su Mo.
"It looks like we've reached the end." "Wen Ge" looked at the stone stele, then turned to Su Mo with a faint smile.
Su Mo looked around blankly, seemingly a little puzzled. "Didn't they say there was no end inside the Heart Tree?"
"Wen Ge" gave Su Mo an odd look, then shook her head. "It's probably just that no one has ever made it here."
Su Mo looked at "Wen Ge" and asked, "You've never been here before either?"
"Wen Ge" paused briefly, then smiled and shook her head. "No."
"If I'd been here before, why would I need to make the journey again?"
Su Mo silently called himself an idiot. The Brush of All Living Beings had only said that there "seemed to be no end."
From the look of things, the Heart Tree had teleported him to a point far along the path, saving him a great deal of time in reaching the end.
Yet he vaguely remembered that he and "Wen Ge" seemed to have walked for a very, very long time as well.
Who knew how many trials within
