1399 The Unforeseen Misfortune of Mount Saint, the Holy Light Tree! (2)
Any leaks about the scripture would cause endless troubles.
âImpossible. Not even my grandfather can solve this. How is it that you can?â Ferya wasnât convinced.
âWhoâs your grandfather?â Wang Teng asked angrily, âWhy canât others do what he canât? What a joke.
âIf ladies can bear children, does that mean your grandfather can do it too?â
âOutrageous!â Ferya was furious. She scoffed and said, âHow dare you speak about my grandfather like this? Youâd be scared to death if I told you who my grandfather is!â
âTell me then. Go ahead and scare me. Iâm not stopping you,â Wang Teng replied nonchalantly.
Ferya almost burst in anger.
This bastard is infuriating. His face looks irritating. She wished she could chop the bastard to death.
âDonât get angry. You shouldnât pant too heavily; your chest isnât big anyway,â said Wang Teng while looking at the girlâs bosom.
âIâ¦â Anger shot out of Feryaâs eyes.
âIndeed, youâre still children.â The grand elder laughed.
Ferya took a few deep breaths to calm down. She recovered her wit. âGrand elder, donât believe him; he just wants to see the stone plates.â
âWang Teng is a friend of my Light Velvet race. Even if he canât do it, itâs all right to show him the stone plates,â said the grand elder replied, âWeâve kept these plates for a long time, gaining all we could. We canât force something to be ours if itâs not meant to be. Both of you can use the light element. Looking at them will benefit you.â
Wang Teng stared at the grand elder in surprise.
As expected of a long-lived person. He didnât treat the plates like treasures and spoke about them in a casual manner.
But, if they learned that there was a divine level scripture hidden in the stone plates⦠what would they think?
Wang Teng felt that there was very likely something wrong with the Light Velvet people. That was why they couldnât grasp the scripture.
If not, after so many years had passed, they should have understood everything there was in the plates.
âLetâs look at them together after the other chiefs come with their own plates,â the grand elder said.
Ferya thought she was the only one who could enjoy that privilege, but it turned out that Wang Teng was also included. She felt unhappy, and wanted to say something; however, her drive dwindled and stayed quiet when she saw the grand elderâs expression.
The stone plates werenât his. They belonged to the Light Velvet race.
She could snatch them, but that would end the friendship between them and her own race.
Her grandfather would never forgive her.
She had wondered about it in the past, so she went to question her grandfather. Based on their ability, they could easily grab the stone plates. Why not do it?
Her grandfather replied to her in a meaningful tone.
âFerya, the universe has its own inner workings; everything has its place and function. You need to understand fate if you want to walk further. Seizing by force will make you lose everything.â
Ferya felt that his grandfather was too zen.
Still, he was a formidable warrior.
The strongest were always right. Nothing wrong with that.
Wang Teng didnât know the complex thoughts in Feryaâs mind. He just felt relieved since he would have a chance to study the stone plates.
Then, he asked, âGrand elder, I heard that the human warriors were captured by some guardians and climbed Mount Saint. What do those guardians have to do with Mount Saint?â
Ferya glanced at Wang Teng curiously. Then, she shifted her gaze to the grand elder.
The latter kept silent for a moment. Then, he got up and said, âFollow me outside.â
Wang Teng exchanged glances with Ferya. The latter snorted and looked away, as she couldnât bear his sight another moment.
Wang Teng didnât mind. He smiled and followed the grand elder.
They reached a spot where they could see the huge mountain.
âLook, this is our Mount Saint, the sacred ground of the Light Velvet race,â said the old fellow while pointing at the huge mountain.
Then, he paused as if recollecting.
âIs there something special about this mountain?â Wang Teng asked.
âThereâs a sacred tree growing there. Thatâs the totem weâve enshrined and worshiped for generations. We call it the Holy Light Tree. It bears one fruit every century. Eating the fruit would endow the person with an ability exceeding the planetary stageâ¦â The grand elder paused for a second before he added, âand eternal life.â
The Holy Light Tree! Wang Teng wondered. Is that the Tree Of Light the clam spirit mentioned?
He was astounded. The fruits from that tree could give people power and eternal life.
The effect was similar to the legendary âTree Of Lightâ.
It was said that the light dew condensation on the tree could heal both injuries and illnesses. It could also elongate a personâs life.
Is that the real âTree Of Lightâ?
âWhat? You can gain eternal life!â Ferya was flabbergasted.
An ordinary spiritual plant couldnât be compared to this. Anything that could extend life was extremely rare in the universe.
To think that thereâs a spiritual tree able to bestow eternal life here!
