The tree grew quickly, but it was not enormous. Perhaps the vitality and energy within this black spirit snake could not sustain a very large tree.
Or perhaps this lake could not support it.
In any case, by the time Bai Jing stood gaping at it, the tree had already stopped growing.
"This tree... is this tree... Guyinduo?"
Xu Le floated on the water. He had already noticed Bai Jing's arrival, but he was not so overconfident that he had the leisure to chat with a girl while killing a Level 4 Ancient God Species.
At Bai Jing's question, Xu Le pinched his chin and pondered.
"Strictly speaking, it probably doesn't count as a Guyinduo Tree."
Although it looked very similar, and Xu Le had used a great deal of Guyinduo Spirit Energy, the tree before him was indeed not a Guyinduo Tree.
He had mixed plenty of other things into it, too.
Red Moon Spirit Energy, Red Sha, and some rather strange things, for instance.
"Then what is it?"
"Calling it a tree of darkness wouldn't suit its characteristics either. I haven't decided on a name for it, or what it should do."
"What it should do? What could a tree possibly do?"
"A tree's purpose is, of course, to purify this world and produce fruit along the way."
"Purify the world? Produce fruit?"
Bai Jing did not quite understand what Xu Le meant, but she soon witnessed something that shocked her.
Xu Le reached toward the tree, and as though sensing him, it began to radiate a feeling of joy.
"Is this... Heart Energy?"
As a guide, Bai Jing was fairly capable, and she knew something about Heart Energy.
But this tree before her was actually radiating Heart Energy?
That was something only intense human emotions and desires
