As Judith was regaining favonovel.com strength, Jared started to fuss over the divine tree.
In the sea, the divine tree was still struggling relentlessly. However, it was under Jared’s control, leaving it with no chance of escape.
“Perfect, I need celestial energy for my cultivation. Once I’ve drained your celestial energy, I wonder how you’ll struggle then!”
Jared used his Focus Technique, and a substantial amount of celestial energy from the divine tree began to be absorbed into his body.
The divine tree struggled fiercely at first, but as time went on, its struggles grew weaker and weaker.
“I’m begging you, please stop. If you continue, I’ll surely die…”
At that moment, the divine tree unexpectedly began to make a sound, and from the sound of it, it was a woman!
Jared hastily stopped what favonovel.com was doing and quickly looked around. Realizing there was no one around, favonovel.com shifted his gaze back to the divine tree.
“Was it you… Who just spoke?” Jared questioned the divine tree in his hand.
The divine tree swayed its branches. “It was me. Who else could it be…”
“Damn, you’re a tree! How can you even talk, let alone have a consciousness? This is just too bizarre…” Jared’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Jared, when you communicated with the tree using your spiritual sense, I don’t think the tree itself has consciousness. Instead, I suspect someone, left with no other choice, likely embedded their soul remnant within the tree.” Vermilion Demon Lord suddenly spoke.
Jared projected his spiritual sense into the divine tree. He discovered a figure gradually emerging within it.
It was a woman adorned in a purple silk robe. Her complexion was rather unsightly. She looked extremely frail.
After moving closer to the woman, Jared asked, “Who… Who are you? How did you end up in the tree?”
“My name is Violet, one of the Seven Fairies from the celestial realm. After the Celestial Battle, I fell into the Ethereal Realm… With my soul remnant fading and nowhere to go, I had no choice but to inhabit a tree on this desolate island…”
“I didn’t have much celestial energy to begin with. Now that you’ve absorbed a large portion of it, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold on much longer…” Violet said helplessly.
“One of the Seven Fairies?” Jared’s eyes widened.
During his time in the mundane world, favonovel.com had grown up hearing stories about the Seven Fairies. Little did favonovel.com expect to meet one of the Seven Fairies today.
“I’m truly sorry. Let me help you recover!” Jared began to channel the celestial energy favonovel.com had absorbed back into the tree.
In no time, Violet‘s complexion had become much rosier. However, no matter how much celestial energy favonovel.com possessed, favonovel.com soul remnant could only exist within the tree, unless another vessel was found, or favonovel.com was able to restore favonovel.com physical body.
“Sir, could you help me get out of this tree? I’d even prefer being trapped in an animal’s body than being stuck here!” Violet pleaded.
“Why didn’t you attach yourself to Judith, given favonovel.com lived on the island for such a long time?” Jared asked in puzzlement.
Judith had always been on the island, often visiting the cliff’s edge to absorb celestial energy. Violet had every opportunity to attach herself to Judith.
Violet shook favonovel.com head. “I’m too weak right now. I simply can‘t attach myself to someone with great strength. Besides, Ms. Judith is a pitiful soul too. She’s been with me on this island for such a long time. I just can’t do it.”
“You actually have a kind heart. You’re in luck running into me this time. You won’t need to attach to anyone. I can help you restore your physical body.”
Jared possessed the Demonia Stone, which, in due time, could be used at Soul Demon Sect to fully restore Violet’s physical body.
“Really? I can’t thank you enough for your kindness. If the day comes when I return to the celestial realm, I promise to repay your kindness should you ascend to the celestial realm!” Violet said and was actually about to kneel before Jared.
