447: Chapter 442: Tree Heart World 447: Chapter 442: Tree Heart World Ye Tian gave a slight smile and didn’t care what Ya Li was saying; he went straight back to his room.
For Ye Tian, there was an even more crucial task at hand: to continue engraving the core of the millennium ancient tree.
Only by thoroughly transforming this core into a divine weapon could he be fully confident in his battle against the Rakshasa Queen!
Of course, to engrave the ancient tree core, Ye Tian couldn’t rush things, as impatience would prevent him from completing the task.
Thus, after returning to his room, Ye Tian ordered some food from room service.
After eating, Ye Tian also took a bath.
Neither the battle with the Rakshasa Queen nor beating up those swindlers at the clothing store could excite Ye Tian anymore; his emotions gradually became more placid…
After completely adjusting his state of mind, Ye Tian was finally poised to engrave the ancient tree core calmly!
The old, rusty knife he used for engraving was already scarred.
Despite its sharpness, it paled in comparison to the ancient tree core.
Ye Tian figured that after he finished engraving the core, this knife would likely retire for good.
Ye Tian used his clairvoyant ability and began to focus intently.
With his ability, he could clearly see the patterns on the ancient tree core.
Under Ye Tian’s careful engraving, the ancient tree core already resembled a weapon.
Therefore, during the engraving process, he could distinctly feel the breathing of the ancient tree core.
Although the millennia-old tree had died from a lightning strike, the core had not.
Ye Tian could clearly sense the power contained beneath it.
Perhaps this was the tree’s wish: although it had died, it wanted to continue living on as a weapon!
Like before, Ye Tian’s engraving was not rapid.
He couldn’t speed up; he worked slowly and gradually.
Throughout the engraving process, both his body and soul immersed themselves into the semi-shaped knife in his hands…
To know the whole without looking at the whole!
With clairvoyant ability, Ye Tian slowly admired the patterns of the ancient tree core while engraving…
“Huh?”
Suddenly, everything before Ye Tian’s eyes went dark, which surprised him greatly.
Wasn’t he in the middle of engraving the millennium ancient tree core?
How could he have arrived at this place?
While Ye Tian was still in shock, it suddenly became bright before his eyes.
Taking another look, he found himself next to a lush forest!
Tall trees towered to the sky, blocking out the sunlight, casting mottled shadows all over the ground…
Birds sang, and butterflies danced…
A peaceful scene!
The wind began to blow, sending bits of grass flying; however, it didn’t affect the harmony in the forest.
Rain fell, adding a touch of moisture to the air, turning the light green to dark green— the entire forest bathed in the sound of rain.
Drizzle, drizzle…
Before long, the rain stopped and the sun came out.
In the sky, a splendid rainbow appeared, and the birds resumed their loud singing!
Chirp, chirp, chirp…
As Ye Tian listened to the sounds of the birds, he suddenly snapped out of his reverie.
There were no birds singing, nor flowers fragrant around him; he was still in his room at the Seasons Hotel!
Ye Tian’s attention was drawn back to the ancient tree core in his hands.
While he had been lost in his reverie, the steps of engraving the ancient tree core hadn’t ceased; instead, they had made the knife’s appearance even clearer!
“How can this be?”
Ye Tian was utterly astonished.
He looked outside the window and surprisingly, it was already daylight.
That meant he had been engraving the ancient tree core in his hand all night.
Now, the core was gradually resembling a weapon—moreover, a divine weapon!
All night, he kept on engraving non-stop, even as his mind wandered, but the engraving process never ceased, and it even became more delicate.
The wooden knife in his hands seemed to possess a bit of spirit!
With a mindset to just try it out, Ye Tian still swung the wooden knife in his hand…
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~~~~”
Although he was only lightly swinging it, the swift movement of the wooden knife brought forth a burgeoning sound, creating an atmosphere as if a storm was on the horizon.
Ye Tian then increased the speed of swinging the wooden knife, and in a flash, there were sparks of electricity!
Crack, crack!
Like the sound of lightning, Ye Tian even faintly heard thunder!
Indeed, it was a divine weapon.
Though essentially made of wood, this wooden knife was crafted from dense wood material, making it even harder than reinforced concrete!
With such a weapon, Ye Tian couldn’t just freely exert its full power in the hotel room; if he applied more force, he feared the room itself might be destroyed.
Therefore, Ye Tian no longer continued to swing the wooden knife.
He carefully put away the knife…
Ye Tian had finally understood what he had seen that night while crafting the core of the millennium ancient tree.
It was the Tree Heart World of this millennium ancient tree!
He had activated his clairvoyant ability while examining the pattern of the tree core, and as the distance between himself and the core grew closer, eventually, they merged.
That was why Ye Tian’s thoughts were pulled into the Tree Heart World.
Only by understanding the past of the millennium ancient tree could Ye Tian better sculpt Shu Xin, integrate with the tree core, and be better equipped to fight with his wooden sword!
After the core of the millennium ancient tree was fully sculpted, Ye Tian suddenly thought of something!
—That was the reason why the Rakshasa Queen was injured!
Someone strong enough to injure the Rakshasa Queen could also injure him.
Although he didn’t know if they were friend or foe, such a person’s existence was a threat to Ye Tian.
Therefore, to ensure his own safety, Ye Tian again used a computer at the Four Seasons Hotel to log onto SkyNet.
After entering SkyNet, Ye Tian logged in with his ID, and soon after, someone approached him…
“King of the Night, what can I do for you?”
Being the King of the Night, one of the three major powers of the underworld, the operators behind SkyNet treated Ye Tian with the utmost respect.
Ye Tian didn’t indulge in much small talk with the person who had approached him, but went straight to the point!
“Do you know why the Rakshasa Queen was injured?
Who exactly injured her?”
Ye Tian typed this into the chat box on SkyNet, but the response from the SkyNet personnel was rather strange.
“Please wait.”
Initially only answering with a simple three words, Ye Tian could only wait patiently.
About ten minutes passed, and the respondent finally arrived tardily.
“I don’t know.”
The answer was again a simple three words, but these words perplexed Ye Tian even more.
SkyNet, as the world’s most advanced intelligence network, knew everything happening around the globe…
From locating lost items to overthrowing governments, SkyNet knew it all!
Usually, based on the difficulty of the task, SkyNet would inform clients when the requested information would be available, but never before had it made Ye Tian wait only to end with a declaration of ignorance.
This meant that even an intelligence agency as powerful as SkyNet could not find who was behind injuring the Rakshasa Queen, or perhaps, the entire SkyNet regarded the person who had injured the Rakshasa Queen as a threat to its own existence?
However, no matter how much Ye Tian speculated, he could hardly find an answer, so he could only quietly close the SkyNet page.
At this point, he could only take things one step at a time!
It was morning, and Ye Tian needed to eat something to replenish his strength, so he slowly walked out of his room.
But as soon as he stepped out, he met Ya Li!
“Hey!”
Ya Li greeted Ye Tian warmly.
“What a coincidence!” Ye Tian said with a smile.
“It’s not a coincidence at all, I’ve been waiting here since I got up!”
Ya Li said earnestly.
Having been helped by Ye Tian twice and admiring his charisma, the current Ya Li was clinging to Ye Tian unrelentingly.
“I didn’t realize I was this popular!
What are we up to today?”
Having successfully sculpted the wooden sword, Ye Tian was in a good mood, so he was also happy to hang out with Ya Li.
“Come in and we’ll talk!”
Ya Li’s attitude made Ye Tian chuckle, and she immediately pulled him into her room.
“A man as charming as you, I definitely don’t want to miss out!”
Ya Li said, “Ye Tian, I know you don’t like women who take the initiative, but in America, that’s how women are!
We are bold in love and sincere, much more straightforward than Chinese women!”
“…”
Ye Tian looked at Ya Li in surprise; indeed, there was a wild charm about her, probably the essence of a foreign woman.
Unlike the Chinese girls Ye Tian knew, he found this version of Ya Li quite appealing.
“So, I guess I can’t avoid it today?”
Ye Tian smiled again.
At this point, had he not already fallen into Ya Li’s pink trap?
