After finishing all this, Ye Chen revealed a satisfied smile.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

A faint glow flashed from the Flora Ring on his left hand, and an enormous spirit tree emerged. This spirit tree was laden with fiery red fruit—it was precisely the high-grade spirit tree, the Fire Pear Tree.

The Fire Pear Tree was over three thousand years old, a hundred meters tall, and its canopy covered a radius of one li. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was certainly enormous, enough to cover a small village.

"The Fire Pear Tree cannot absorb much nourishment at all inside the Flora Ring. It can only keep its spiritual energy from declining. I might as well plant it on Spirit Cloud Peak."

Spirit Cloud Peak was the centralmost mountain. Since it was the core of the Nine-Nine Convergence Formation, the heaven and earth spiritual energy there was exceptionally dense, condensing into clusters of spirit clouds that floated around the peak. Thus, Ye Chen named it Spirit Cloud Peak.

Originally, Ye Chen had planned to make Spirit Cloud Peak the Ye Family's main peak, allowing all direct descendants of the Ye Family to live there. That way, their cultivation would naturally advance by leaps and bounds. Unless they encountered a bottleneck, they would quickly raise their cultivation. However, cultivating too quickly was not necessarily a good thing; one's foundation could become unstable.

The Fire Pear Tree, meanwhile, was a high-grade spirit tree and was of enormous use to martial artists below the Life and Death Realm.
