Qiao Mu’s heart jumped.
Essence earth, similarly to essence water, could advance her cultivation…
However, she didn’t have the leisure to muse over it further. With Qiuqiu’s support, that essence earth entered her body in the blink of an eye. The sapling’s branches coiled around it promptly and sucked it into the suddenly gaping mystic niche.
At the same time, Qiao Mu and Mo Lian simultaneously felt Paradise Planet quaking slightly.
With her inner sight, Qiao Mu could see that the entire Star Domain had brightened for an instant.
Within her vast and boundless Star Domain, the fist-sized main planet hung high up in the center.
Four planets of different colors were rotating as they revolved around the main planet, but all of a sudden, they dimmed again.
Meanwhile, the water child shook its body, causing countless waterdrops to sprinkle upon the sacred earth.
In a split second, a thin longeval tree sprout broke through the sacred earth, displaying its feeble body.
Mo Lian and Qiao Mu fixated their gazes, subconsciously holding hands as they slowly shifted backwards.
On the other hand, Qiuqiu was fervently accelerating the sprout’s growth, as well as absorbing the longeval tree’s exuberant vitality. Its small tree face was exuding a joyous glow.
Before their eyes, the small longeval tree sprout that broke through the sacred earth gradually grew taller and thicker. Its branches and leaves extended outwards vigorously, and countless emerald-green leaves grew out from the trunk.
Until—
A flower bud on a branch silently blossomed.
The spherical flowers were released from their buds, bursting into a splendid multicolored radiance.
Qiao Mu slightly raised her head and fixated on that longeval tree.
The longeval tree’s flowers were multicolored, so unexpectedly splendid, so beautiful? When those spherical flowers blossomed, it was like countless fireworks were bursting forth their brilliance.
So beautiful! Her sight was flooded with magnificent colors.
It was as if the entire paradise had been lit, releasing a boundless radiance into its surroundings.
Beneath the longeval tree, luxuriant flowers flourished in clusters, and a pair of perfectly-matched celestials exchanged glances. From each other’s eyes, they could read a honeyed tenderness…
A long life cannot compare to spending all my days with you.
With you in my life, only then is a long life meaningful. Otherwise, it will only be endlessly frittering one’s time away, wasting away an untold number of years…
The two’s gazes entangled together, and it seemed as if the whole world and all living things had disappeared at this moment…
Time and space, also ceased to exist.
Even that longeval tree that was shining a luxuriant glow wasn’t as good-looking as the person in each other’s hearts.
Qiuqiu landed on the ground with a thud, panting heavily while sprawling at the foot of the longeval tree.
Wow. Sure enough, the longeval tree had a tenacious vitality. It had absorbed so much of its vitality already, yet it could still produce such a mass of flourishing blossoms.
“Qiuqiu, what happened to you?” Qiao Mu’s gaze shifted away from Mo Lian’s face towards Qiuqiu, who was as bright as the light produced by 3000 candles[1].
“Oh, nothing, everything’s fine.” Qiuqiu gave a tired yawn while covering its mouth with a small branch.
“Master, I’ll first transplant the longeval tree next to this peach tree.” Qiuqiu blinked its black beady eyes as it said, “It takes the longeval tree a long time after blossoming to produce longeval fruit.”
Qiao Mu nodded with a faint expression, and she watched as Qiuqiu easily lifted up the longeval tree and embedded it next to the towering peach tree.
This longeval tree truly was tall, and its slender figure could even contend with the towering peach tree next to it.
