"North of the Land of the Extreme Dao, no one has ever entered the Land of the Extreme Dao to this day," the ethereal voice continued.
Lin Yu smiled nonchalantly upon hearing this, then said mischievously, "It's nothing, it's just that you need to pay this year's rent!"
The willow tree, shimmering with fluorescent light, paused slightly upon hearing this, and even the light shimmering around it seemed to freeze for a moment because of Lin Yu's words!
Actually, it was just a willow tree and had no idea what "rent" meant!
The willow branches swayed a little faster, but given its level of understanding, it could easily comprehend the meaning of words if it wanted to.
With a single thought, the meaning of "rent" naturally emerged in the willow tree's spiritual world.
Then it fell silent again.
Judging from its appearance, it seems to be planning to disguise itself as an ordinary willow tree and get away with it.
Lin Yu almost laughed at the other party's childish behavior. It didn't matter; he could wait. He just had to see if the other party would give in first.
After a long while, seeing that Lin Yu was still standing there smiling and had no intention of leaving, Liu Shu had no choice but to speak up somewhat in frustration.
"What does Your Highness require?"
Although the willow tree had no feelings, Lin Yu could still detect a hint of tension and caution in the other person's voice.
Its branches even subtly concealed themselves from its own source power. Clearly, in the willow tree's view, there was nothing else worth Lin Yu going to such lengths to personally come and ask for besides its own source power!
Seeing Lin Yu's stingy appearance, Lin Yu looked him up and down and said, "Don't worry, your rent is the cheapest. You just need to move to a different place!"
"Move it to another place? Where to?" Willow's voice sounded a little nervous.
As it spoke, its heel reluctantly dipped down one last time.
It has been here for tens of thousands of years and really thinks it's a good place. If it could, it really wouldn't want to move!
Moreover, given Lin Yu's habit of only showing up when he needs something, the place he's being moved to sounds rather unusual. Could it be that they're planning to move him directly to the Flaming Mountain?
"Yes, the most central location in the Southern Heaven Star Domain."
"I'll mark the locations of ten star systems for you in a bit; that will be your new home from now on."
"I don't have any other requirements, I just need you to fill those ten star regions, and the light emitted by the willow branches should ideally illuminate the entire Land of the Extreme Dao."
willow. "..."
It couldn't understand why Lin Yu was going through all this trouble.
However, faced with overwhelming power, Liu Shu dared not utter a word of anger and could only obediently nod. "I will follow the Palace Master's arrangements!"
Seeing that Liu Shu was so easy to talk to, Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction. He hadn't expected this guy to be so sensible!
Having dealt with this one, Lin Yu turned to head to the next location, but before he could even step into the void, Lin Yu Shu's ethereal voice rang out once more.
"May I ask the Lord of the Palace a question?"
"Huh? Just ask." Lin Yu's expression was somewhat strange.
Upon hearing this, the willow tree seemed a little nervous. It rubbed its two branches together in front of its body before finally asking the question as if it had made up its mind.
"I wonder what realm the Palace Master is currently at?"
Lin Yu paused slightly upon hearing this; it really hit a nerve. But there was nothing he could do; not everyone knew he had only been cultivating for a few months.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu became quite nonchalant, laughing and saying, "He's just a minor Imperial Lord!"
After saying that, Lin Yu turned and left the void.
The entire space was suddenly left with only the lonely willow tree, which fell silent once again because of Lin Yu's answer.
After a long while, the willow tree's ethereal voice rang out again, this time with a hint of dissatisfaction.
" The Imperial Lord?!"
"You're the one who'd believe me!"
"If you're going to lie, at least find a plausible explanation!"
However, no sooner had the willow tree finished complaining than its entire massive body vanished.
The next second, the willow tree suddenly appeared in the very center of the entire Southern Heaven Star Domain.
As soon as it took root, the willow tree began to grow at an unbelievable speed. In just three breaths, its branches had already covered an entire planet.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, countless branches of the willow tree were covered with ten planets, like a huge umbrella that blots out the sun, appearing in the night sky.
Buzz...
The willow tree was illuminated by a soft glow, instantly lighting up the entire starry sky of the Land of the Extreme Dao.
At this moment, any being on any planet within the Four Great Star Domains could raise their head and clearly see the willow tree in the distant starry sky.
The sight of those swaying branches shocked all the other star systems, and all the cultivators were incredibly curious—what had happened now?
However, this strange phenomenon was quickly accepted by the beings of the Four Great Star Domains. After all, for such a long time, every few days a cultivator or being would awaken their talent and undergo a change, so it was not impossible for the current situation to occur.
As for the Southern Heaven Star Domain where the willow tree took root, under the illumination of the willow tree's light, the cultivation speed increased once again, as if a new auxiliary function had been added.
Even more remarkably, some directly awakened a special constitution with the wood attribute.
The cultivators of the Southern Heaven Star Domain quickly discovered that the closer they were to the branches of the willow tree, the faster their cultivation would improve!
Before long, this willow tree was regarded as a divine object for cultivation.
In the Southern Heaven Holy Land, the Southern Heaven Holy Maiden looked up at the enormous willow tree and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
As the local saintess, she had naturally seen the willow tree in its original form and knew of its existence.
However, after learning the truth, the Southern Heaven Holy Maiden was too embarrassed to say anything, since it was the temple master's idea!
Lin Yu has no time to deal with the changes in the Southern Heaven Star Domain yet; he has already broken through the void and arrived above another mysterious forbidden area.
As soon as he appeared in the sky, a ripple appeared in the void, and a middle-aged man stepped out and respectfully bowed to Lin Yu.
"Lord of the Palace, your presence is an honor! I am so sorry for not welcoming you sooner! May I ask what brings you here today?"
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback by the sight, somewhat surprised by the other party's respectful attitude.
These forbidden areas—didn't I try to stop them when they broke through the blue light barrier before? Why are they all so easy to talk to now?
Lin Yu had originally planned to take action, but now it seems there's absolutely no need to!
The other party didn't even intend to retaliate.
These holy sites seem to maintain an astonishing tacit understanding with Lin Yu!
