Wizard: Starting from the Skill Tree-Chapter 447: World Tree Seed

Duke carefully pinched it with his fingertips, the texture warm and smooth like jade, with a touch of strange life vitality.

He attempted to inject a faint trace of spiritual power into it, wanting to explore what this thing was.

The small bean trembled slightly, the green radiance on its surface shifting, emitting an indescribable, extremely pure and vibrant life aura.

This aura was not domineering, yet deep as the sea, ancient and vast, seemingly containing the most primordial secrets of life.

Just feeling this aura, Duke found his fatigue of recent days lightened a bit, his spirit also lifted.

He tried to recall all the knowledge he had learned, the books he had read, but couldn’t find any description that matched this mysterious bean in front of him.

The level of life energy it contained was extremely high, yet its manifestation was so restrained.

Yarbede saw Duke pick up that green little bean, a puzzled expression on her face, finally couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh.

"Haha~" Her laughter echoed in the spacious treasure vault, with a hint of mockery, "What? After going through so much trouble, even owing me a big favor, and this is what you find... a harmless looking little bean? Are you disappointed?"

Duke raised his head, looking at Yarbede, his brow slightly furrowed: "What exactly is this? Its life aura is extremely pure and ancient, but I’ve never seen or heard of such a thing."

"Oh? Can’t resist asking sister for help?" Yarbede got closer, nearly touching Duke, examining the seed in his hand with interest, then looked at Duke’s puzzled face.

"It’s not impossible to tell you," she reached out a finger, lightly pointed at the seed, "After all this thing to you now is like a baby holding a gold brick, you can see it but can’t use it, might instead bring about deadly disaster."

"This inconspicuous little thing in your hand is no ordinary bean or plant seed."

Her crimson pupils flashed with seriousness, "If I’m not mistaken, this should be a World Tree Seed."

"World Tree?!" Duke’s heart jumped fiercely, even with his calmness, he could barely maintain composure.

He had seen this name in many books, it was a concept akin to creation myth.

Currently, it is known that there is one World Tree in the Elf Plane, the entire Elf race, the entire Elf Plane developed relying on that one World Tree.

Even in the Endless Plane, the number of World Trees is extremely rare.

World Trees in different planes may vary, depending on their growth process.

But one thing is certain, as long as a World Tree can develop and grow normally in a plane, it can lead the entire plane to continually grow.

For example, a low plane typically needs life from its plane to cultivate to Level 4 Life to be upgraded to a middle plane.

But if there is a World Tree, it only needs normal growth to automatically lead the plane through the upgrading process.

Given enough time, it can even lead a low plane to grow into a high plane.

World Trees themselves can continuously perfect and strengthen plane rules, also increase the density of energy particles in the plane, making it more suitable for the emergence of beings with extraordinary abilities.

Thus a World Tree Seed, for any plane or existence, is an absolute treasure.

Duke holding this thing is indeed like a child holding a piece of gold brick.

It must not be known to others, otherwise, it will surely attract unwanted attention.

With his current strength, he utterly has no power to guard this thing.

"I must remind you, this thing in itself is a huge trouble. Think about it, why was it stored here? Who left it in this plane? The karma involved and potential coveters behind it are far beyond what you can imagine now." Yarbede specifically reminded.

Duke nodded, his expression grave.

He also knew the secrets involved should be quite deep, likely none of Ash City’s past City Lords were aware of this.

They probably only knew a treasure was stored below, but not what it was.

Otherwise, surely a sage-level awakened would come, trying in every way to take this World Tree Seed away.

While thinking, Duke placed the wooden box into the Light God Court.

This was his most reliable place, not even space rings were reliable enough.

As long as it remained in the Light God Court without bringing it out, it would be difficult for others to know of it.

More importantly, the Light God Court itself is a small plane, accurately speaking, a plane embryo, still in its development process.

And if the World Tree Seed can be planted inside the Light God Court, it can also help the Light God Court grow faster.

The World Tree Seed growing in the environment of the Light God Court, who knows what subtle changes may occur.

As long as Duke successfully plants the World Tree inside the Light God Court, allowing it to become a part of the Light God Court, he can transform the power of the World Tree into part of his own.

When this World Tree matures, he will be able to directly harness the power of the World Tree as one of his sources of strength.

Of course, with his current status, he doesn’t yet have the capability to wield power of this level.

Just this way, he prepares a wide and smooth road for the future, his development ceiling is constantly rising.

However, Duke knows too little about the World Tree, seizing the opportunity while Yarbede is still here, quickly asked how to plant and cultivate the World Tree Seed.

Yarbede laughed softly upon hearing this, lazily counting her fingers as if listing a menu,

"The simplest and most direct, find a plane core with absurdly high energy concentration, plant it, then drain the entire plane’s source to nourish it. Of course, you first need the ability to occupy and control a plane core."

"Or, gather certain legendary primordial spiritual items that emerged when the Endless Plane was first opened, such as Chaos Spring, Sands of Time, things like that, to water it."

Duke froze, what Yarbede suggested seemed too far-fetched for him, currently impossible to achieve.

Yarbede seemingly understood these were unrealistic for Duke, laughed: "Naturally, there might be another more suitable way for you."

"What way?"

"Power of Faith." Yarbede laughed.

She then continued explaining, "That kind of power, purely gathered from billions of beings’ belief, for this World Tree representing the essence of life and rules, is one of the best nutrients."

"Theoretically, with enough immense and pure power of faith, continuously nourishing over time, it can awaken this dormant seed, guide it to begin growing."
