Chapter 1057: Rainbow Holy Tree!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
From Miao Huan Yu’s warning, Young Master Jun finally learned why the “candidate” could only be one person. Because it was usually best if this path was traversed alone. Two person was possible, and three was stretching it. But there could be no more than three!
Once this number limit was passed, they would never be able to see the Rainbow Holy Tree!
Of course, the three people limit did not include the Spiritual Herbal Gardens Lord. In other words, it was actually still possible to squeeze one more person into Jun Mo Xie’s group. However… after the last time the Holy Tree protested, no one had tried to do that again. In fact, only one person went in each time.
This time, Miao Huan Yu was already making a huge exception for the first time in several hundred years by bringing two people!
Miao Huan Yu walked in the center. Miao Xiao Miao was on his left and Jun Mo Xie was on his right.
The things in this world were no different from the outside world. There was a comfortable feeling when stepping on the grass. The smells and sights of the lustrous surroundings caused Jun Mo Xie to feel that this place was not an illusion and was completely real!
After walking for a moment, by the time they turned around to look, the path behind them was already completely covered in a layer of mist… it was impossible to see the people whom they had come in with…
“This area is the territory of the Holy Tree. In the entire Spiritual Herbal Gardens, this can be considered the most mystical place.” Miao Huan Yu took a step out and said. “These verdant plains are vast and endless, but there isn’t a single stalk of spirit herbs growing here! Because the Holy Tree will not allow any spirit herbs to grow on its territory!
Jun Mo Xie and Miao Xiao Miao had already noticed the strangeness long ago. When they first came in, they noticed that the two sides of the forest were filled with precious spirit herbs everywhere. But when they reached here, there wasn’t a single one at all. Even the most common spirit grass was nowhere to be seen.
When they heard Miao Huan Yu’s explanation, the two of them instantly realized that this was the Rainbow Holy Tree’s work! Exchanging a brief glance, their thought to themselves: “So this Rainbow Holy Tree is actually a selfish fellow…”
But as Jun Mo Xie thought about it, he understood the logic as well. Some of the stronger Xuan Beasts did not permit the existence of any other Xuan Beasts in their territory. Once any other Xuan Beasts entered their domain, a huge fight would instantly break out. A spirit plant with powerful Spiritual Qi could also similarly make it hard for other spirit plants to grow around them! The only thing was that this Rainbow Holy Tree was even more oppressive, and its field of control was even wider…
All of a sudden, a fresh Spiritual Qi wafted over from a distance away, and Miao Huan Yu smiled. “We’re here.”
The two raised their heads and looked over. In the center of the vast prairie, where nothing else existed, there was a large tree that could definitely be considered ‘gigantic’!
This tree was completely straight and was at least over a hundred meters tall! Its branches were filled with verdant leaves, and its branches seemed to touch the skies!
This gigantic tree’s leaves were strangely shaped, with nine sharp points, and which each emanated a different color constantly. At one point, it would look completely normal and green, but in the next moment, it would be red, or black, or purple…
The leaves on this tree were actually switching colors constantly!
As the three got nearer, all the leaves suddenly turned around in an instant, and the entire tree even shook for a moment. It was as if a giant had turned around to look at little ants that had caught its attention…
Young Master Jun froze for a moment, and his eyes widened. F*ck! A tree can actually be so arrogant! This is too human-like…
Jun Mo Xie had to admit that he had truly never seen a tree like this that could reach over a hundred meters tall in the two worlds that he had experienced so far… If he were to chop this tree down, how many king sized beds could he make…
The leaves rustled loudly, and a clear voice rang out. “Little kids of the Misty Illusory Manor, you’ve come to see this Lord Holy Tree again… what good stuff have you brought for this old tree this time…”
“Respected Lord Holy Tree, today is the once a century day of the Spiritual Herbal Gardens again. In order to better serve Lord Holy Tree, the Misty Illusory Manor has chosen two talented youths to test their compatibility towards your Lordship. May Lord Holy Tree take a look at them with your all-knowing eyes of wisdom and determine the path of the Spiritual Herbal Gardens for the next millennia.” Miao Huan Yu bowed lightly and said with utmost respect to the tree.
Jun Mo Xie narrowed his eyes as he looked at this scene with wonder… Was this a fairytale? A tree could actually understand human speech? And speak the human tongue as well? Furthermore, Miao Huan Yu was still acting so respectfully towards it…
Could this thing understand him?
The Rainbow Holy Tree’s leaves rustled again, and the entire tree even swayed visibly for a moment. In that moment, the three people could clearly feel that this tree seemed to be in a very happy mood! In fact, it seemed to be very agitated as well…
Miao Huan Yu was somewhat shocked. Such a situation had never occurred in the past, ah. Could it be that his respectful attitude had caused it to become so happy? But he also used similar words in the past as well, ah… yet he’d never seen it this happy before…
The leaves rustled noisily, as if tens of thousands of people were chattering. “Those two juniors, come forward a step!”
Jun Mo Xie widened his eyes slightly. This so-called speaking voice was undoubtedly this tree using its unique frequency, causing the leaves to create a set movement at the same time to create the effect of voices. But just this point alone was enough to prove that this Rainbow Holy Tree did have its own consciousness. And from the looks of it, its intelligence was not low too!
Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes…
As requested, he took a step forward, and Miao Xiao Miao followed closely behind him. But her expression was somewhat fearful… After all, she had never seen such a strange thing before. From her knowledge, this Holy Tree was an existence akin to a ‘god’…
All of a sudden, a sharp roar rang out as a voice formed out of spiritual sense burst forth with rage. “That junior! What is with that expression? You dare to be disrespectful to this Lord Holy Tree?! Do you know the severity of your crime?!”
As it turned out, Jun Mo Xie’s small act of rolling his eyes had been seen by it…
As the Holy Tree raged, the winds and clouds in entire Spiritual Herbal Gardens changed!
Miao Huan Yu cursed bitterly in his heart. Looks like this Rainbow Holy Tree is about to go crazy again… It was the same the last few times as well. A moment ago, it was happy and excited. And in the next moment, it was already raging. However, there was nothing they could do about it and could only retreat. This time was the same as well. No one provoked it, but it still turned angry for no reason…
Jun Mo Xie stared at this tree, speechless. From the way it was shaking and rustling, it seemed to be uncontrollably angry.
“Scram! All of you, scram for me!” The tree used its spiritual sense and roared. “This Lord does not wish to see anymore of you puny humans!”
“Are you crazy?” Jun Mo Xie spat without a care. When they came in here, Young Master Jun had already noticed that there wasn’t even a single fruit on this tree, and he was already slightly annoyed. After looking around, he realized that there was nothing of what Miao Jing Yun Miao Huan Yu and the rest had mentioned about the second or third tree that the Misty Illusory Manor was nurturing. As such, he was already starting to feel exceedingly annoyed…
And now, a mere tree like this is cursing freely at this Evil Monarch? Truly unbearable!
Moreover…
“You! You brat, what did you say just now?” The Rainbow Holy Tree roared.
“What did I say? I asked if you were crazy!” Jun Mo Xie did not care about the stupefied expressions on Miao Xiao Miao and Miao Huan Yu’s faces as he snorted discourteously. “I realize that those guys from the Misty Illusory Manor must have really spoilt you! Are you very amazing? Aren’t you just a tree? Just because you’ve lived a few years longer, you think that you’re very great? Look at this huge body of yours—don’t you feel embarrassed at producing only two sets of fruits every few hundred years? To think that you could still act so proudly. If I were you, I would have found a tall tree and hung myself long ago… Oh, right, you are a tree already. In that case, you can just hang yourself on one of your own branches and commit suicide…”
“AH AH AH AH… this little brat’s mouth is truly venomous… this Lord Holy Tree is going to die from anger!” The Rainbow Holy Tree swayed left and right violently, shaking the entire land. “Little brat, for your brazen words, this Lord will not let you off!”
With a loud whooshing sound, a violent wind swept up as two thick roots shot out of the ground like a pair of dragons, instantly wrapping around Jun Mo Xie. Then, with a violent rumble, a huge hole appeared in the middle of the Rainbow Holy Tree’s trunk. The two roots swung widely, tossing him into the hole. Then, in an instant, the hole closed again, leaving no gaps. After that, the roots returned to the ground, and the tree stopped shaking… the entire place was completely quiet again!
This Rainbow Holy Tree had actually eaten Young Master Jun…
Miao Xiao Miao cried out aloud, nearly fainting from the shock as her face turned as pale as snow.
“Lord Holy Tree!” Miao Huan Yu cried out in a stupefied manner. “The child is young and ignorant, may Senior please be magnanimous and not stoop to the same level as him! Please show mercy, ah.”
“This kid is full of nonsense and has a rude and vicious tongue. Is this Lord a tree that he can curse at as he wishes? If he is not taught a lesson today, what will become of this fellow in the future?”
The Holy Tree rustled its leaves and continued. “There is no need to worry, this Lord is only going to teach the little brat a lesson and will not take his life. The two of you can go out first! When I’m done with his punishment, this Lord will naturally let him out!”
Miao Huan Yu was completely speechless.
Go out first? Could it be that this time’s effort was going to end in failure again? This place would only open once every hundred years… Go out after just coming in? Are they playing with us?
“Lord Holy Tree… please have mercy on him, Senior…” Miao Xiao Miao begged. “He… he is a good person, can you not punish him…”
“What’s with so much nonsense? Hurry up and scram!” The Rainbow Holy Tree seemed to be somewhat angry now as it shook its trunk. The winds grew wild once again, and the entire sky darkened. The entire area grew black, to a point where it was impossible to see one’s fingers even if they stretched their hands out before their eyes!
When the Miao father and daughter pair regained their sight once again, they saw that the entire place was empty and bare, only leaving behind a vast prairie. As for the huge Rainbow Holy Tree, it had already disappeared without a trace…
