Looking at the few serious-faced big shots, Lily shrank her neck, "The tree... this tree appeared suddenly, and it has been growing just now... it's stopped now, oh look, it's starting again."
As soon as Lily finished speaking, the small tree that had just stopped growing began to grow again. Although the speed was much slower, it was clearly visible to Old Sect Leader Li and the others.
At this moment, Li also rubbed her eyes and walked out of the house. She was still a bit drowsy and not fully awake. Looking at the small tree in the courtyard, she subconsciously said.
"Village, you've come alive again..."
These words were said very naturally, as if they had been said many times before...
However, the village did not come back to life completely as Li said. It was still asleep, just in another form.
That Stone Pill was currently hidden in the heart of the tree, nourishing itself from the whole Spirit Deer Valley and completing a certain cycle.
When Zhang Ze and Tang returned to the kindergarten, the tree had grown a bit taller, already surpassing the roof, and it seemed like it would continue to grow.
"Is this normal?" Zhang Ze asked Li.
Li, perhaps reminded of something from the past by the tree, said, "This is a good thing. The village is accelerating its awakening, it often does this."
Zhang Ze looked at the small tree growing vigorously in front of him, a thought in his mind unsure whether it should be spoken.
It often does this, does it? What kind of life did these Dragons live in the Primordial times?
And why does the village seem like the ultimate survival king...
Zhang Ze suspected that even without the Stone Pill, the village might resurrect somewhere in a hidden corner...
Anyway, it's a good thing.
Zhang Ze felt the Dragon Qi balanced in the Spirit Deer Valley and asked, "It seems tree will continue to grow, and its existence should ensure the Dragon Qi doesn't dissipate. Is the mountain-moving still necessary?"
Although the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion could benefit from moving the mountain, Zhang Ze felt the village was more important, and doing nothing was always the safest.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, two people simultaneously spoke out against it.
"No." It was Li and little Fuji.
Little Fuji, ever since coming to the Spirit Deer Valley, had felt like she was in heaven, burying herself in the soil every day, living a life of leisure and occasional help tending to the flowers and plants with people from Medicine King Valley.
As a unique Immortal Fungus, she was extremely talented in botany.
Little Fuji pulled herself out of the soil and waved her hand to get everyone's attention.
"This tree can only grow in the Spirit Deer Valley, but its roots are very, very deep! If it continues to grow and spreads outside the valley, it will die."
Little Fuji mimed a dying motion.
After listening, Zhang Ze looked at Li.
Li nodded, "That's right, this tree is not the village, and the village hasn't truly awakened either. Driven by instinct, this tree will indeed end up as Fuji said."
"Is there a way to slow its growth?" Li Wenzhou asked.
The tree was growing quickly, but the mountain-moving plan needed more time, so the tree needed to be stopped first.
Fuji and Li both shook their heads.
Xia Yan, who had been listening in on the side, spoke up at this time, "My senior sister might have a way."
"Who?" Zhang Ze asked.
"Senior Sister Qingxue. Master sent her here to help, she should be arriving soon... maybe," Xia Yan said hesitantly.
In the Cang Mountain area.
On a certain official road, an old ox was walking leisurely, stopping now and then to nibble on some tender grass. The senior sister Xia Yan mentioned was sleeping soundly on the ox's back.
Xiaoxue was still on her way...
