1399 The Unforeseen Misfortune of Mount Saint, the Holy Light Tree! (2)
Any leaks about the scripture would cause endless troubles.
“Impossible. Not even my grandfather can solve this. How is it that you can?” Ferya wasn’t convinced.
“Who’s your grandfather?” Wang Teng asked angrily, “Why can’t others do what he can’t? What a joke.
“If ladies can bear children, does that mean your grandfather can do it too?”
!!
“Outrageous!” Ferya was furious. She scoffed and said, “How dare you speak about my grandfather like this? You’d be scared to death if I told you who my grandfather is!”
“Tell me then. Go ahead and scare me. I’m not stopping you,” 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.
“Don’t get angry. You shouldn’t pant too heavily; your chest isn’t big anyway,” said Wang Teng while looking at the girl’s bosom.
“I…” Anger shot out of Ferya’s eyes.
“Indeed, you’re still children.” The grand elder laughed.
Ferya took a few deep breaths to calm down. She recovered her wit. “Grand elder, don’t believe him; he just wants to see the stone plates.”
“Wang Teng is a friend of my Light Velvet race. Even if he can’t do it, it’s all right to show him the stone plates,” said the grand elder replied, “We’ve kept these plates for a long time, gaining all we could. We can’t force something to be ours if it’s not meant to be. Both of you can use the light element. Looking at them will benefit you.”
Wang Teng stared at the grand elder in surprise.
As expected of a long-lived person. He didn’t 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 couldn’t grasp the scripture.
If not, after so many years had passed, they should have understood everything there was in the plates.
“Let’s look at them together after the other chiefs come with their own plates,” 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 elder’s expression.
The stone plates weren’t 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.
“Ferya, 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.”
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 didn’t know the complex thoughts in Ferya’s mind. He just felt relieved since he would have a chance to study the stone plates.
Then, he asked, “Grand 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?”
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, “Follow me outside.”
Wang Teng exchanged glances with Ferya. The latter snorted and looked away, as she couldn’t bear his sight another moment.
Wang Teng didn’t mind. He smiled and followed the grand elder.
They reached a spot where they could see the huge mountain.
“Look, this is our Mount Saint, the sacred ground of the Light Velvet race,” said the old fellow while pointing at the huge mountain.
Then, he paused as if recollecting.
“Is there something special about this mountain?” Wang Teng asked.
“There’s a sacred tree growing there. That’s the totem we’ve 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 stage…” The grand elder paused for a second before he added, “and eternal life.”
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 ‘Tree Of Light’.
It was said that the light dew condensation on the tree could heal both injuries and illnesses. It could also elongate a person’s life.
Is that the real ‘Tree Of Light’?
“What? You can gain eternal life!” Ferya was flabbergasted.
An ordinary spiritual plant couldn’t be compared to this. Anything that could extend life was extremely rare in the universe.
To think that there’s a spiritual tree able to bestow eternal life here!
