Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 765 Binglan Returns, Past Events at Whirlpool Mountain.

After reading the properties of this branch, a look of sudden realization appeared in his eyes.

"I see……"

"Does it need to be planted in the soil first and allowed to regain its vitality before it can have any effect?"

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, gazing at the ground beneath his feet, and murmured, "The Pale Sacred Tree planted in my territory has long since transformed the soil of the entire region, imbuing it with a rich vitality..."

"The planting conditions for this branch should be met."

With that in mind, he decided to give it a try.

So Cao Xing headed straight for the center of the territory.

Soon we arrived at the back garden area.

Suddenly, a park filled with all sorts of beautiful flowers and plants appeared before my eyes.

After more than half a year of careful cultivation by the two sisters, this back garden has expanded considerably.

It is filled with all sorts of amazing plants.

The Twilight Vine, emitting a faint glow, climbed all over the fence, and the Moonflowers on the ground swayed in the wind.

In addition, the shimmering golden sunflowers, ice-blue flowers, and other plants fill this place with a vibrant sense of life.

And hanging beneath that pale sacred tree is an exquisite double swing.

Two slender girls were sitting on a swing, chatting and laughing softly.

A gentle breeze rustled through the air, causing the girl's skirt to sway softly, and dappled sunlight filtered through the pale canopy of the tree.

Everything before my eyes was like a dreamlike painting...

At this moment, the twin sisters Juliet and Neve, who were sitting on the swing, also noticed Cao Xing.

A look of surprise appeared in the clear eyes of the two women.

"My Lord, you are back!"

They jumped off the swings like little rabbits, their smooth hair tracing graceful arcs in the air.

Then they quickly came to Cao Xing's side and hugged his waist from both sides.

Cao Xing reached out and stroked the two women's heads, feeling the texture of their hair, and chuckled, "Juliet, Neve, how's work going lately?"

Neve tilted her little face up, her eyes sparkling with anticipation: "My lord, we take care of the garden every day as you instructed!"

Juliet smiled sweetly and said, "Yes, the plants in the garden are growing very well."

When will you bring a new batch of flowers for us to plant?

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing smiled slightly: "There are no more flowers, but there is still a branch."

After saying that, he took out the branch of the Tree of Life.

The two women's attention was immediately drawn to it, and a look of confusion appeared in their eyes.

"This branch seems to be withered... but it also seems to have a strong life force flowing through it, how strange..."

"My lord, what is this?"

Juliet asked with a puzzled look, for even with her extensive knowledge, she had never seen such a peculiar tree branch.

Neve, who was standing next to her, also curiously reached out her finger and carefully poked the branch.

Cao Xing explained to them the origin and purpose of the branch.

After hearing this, the two sisters covered their mouths in surprise.

Juliet exclaimed excitedly, "So these are the branches of the Tree of Life!"

"I heard those old men from the ancient tree of knowledge say that the Tree of Life is one of the oldest sacred trees in the world."

"Its wonders are no less than those of our Tree Spirit Clan's Pale Sacred Tree!"

Neve said with a look of admiration, "Lord, you can even find such a legendary sacred tree, that's amazing!"

Cao Xing smiled and shook his head: "This is just a branch of the Ancient Tree of Life. I haven't found the complete Ancient Tree of Life."

"However, you've reminded me..."

In his backpack was a powerful recipe for a life-saving elixir. The key ingredient for crafting this elixir was the leaf of the Tree of Life.

However, he had no idea where the so-called Tree of Life was before, and was completely clueless.

But now, we do have some direction to look for...

This branch was thrown out by the King of the Sacred Tree, in other words, this guy may have seen the real ancient tree of life.

If we can capture this old king and interrogate him, we might be able to find the location of the Tree of Life.

Of course, this is all predicated on Cao Xing being strong enough to breach the so-called Silver Glow Fortress and deal with the Mother of the North Wind...

Cao Xing temporarily pulled himself together and looked at the two beautiful sisters in front of him, saying, "Next, I'll trouble you to plant this branch."

The two women exchanged a smile, and Juliet said softly, "No trouble at all, my lord."

"this is what we are supposed to do."

After saying that, Juliet took the branch and held it carefully.

Neve, who was standing next to her, immediately ran under the swing and retrieved the gardening tools.

The two sisters worked together seamlessly and quickly found a suitable spot for planting in a corner of the garden.

As they deftly shoveled away the soil, a fresh, earthy scent filled the air.

Then, the two carefully inserted the branch into the soil, Juliette's slender fingers gently pressing the surrounding soil to ensure the branch was secure.

Neve carefully tied a silver wire to it to prevent it from being blown over by the wind.

Cao Xing watched this scene with anticipation in his eyes.

When this branch was finally planted in this magical land.

At first, nothing seemed to have changed; the branches remained withered and yellow, standing quietly in the breeze.

But after Juliet poured a bowl of [Frosty Spirit Water] on it, something incredible happened!

The branch trembled gently as if it had been infused with life, and its originally dry bark began to glow with a vibrant green luster.

New tender leaves quickly sprouted from it.

To Cao Xing's surprise, a green '+1' appeared on the top of the small branch...

Seeing this, he seemed to realize something.

He hurriedly opened the panel of the [Branch of Life], and sure enough, the 'Origin of Life' on it had changed!

[Life Essence: 1/120 (Recovering, 1 point is restored per hour)]

...

An incredulous look appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

According to the system's instructions, planting this branch in soil rich in vitality will only allow it to recover 1 to 5 points of life essence every 24 hours.

Now, after planting it in my own territory, it has become a stable source of 1 point of health regeneration per hour!
This efficiency has increased by more than ten times!

"Good heavens, does this mean that it will only take five or six days for this branch to fully recover?"

"Then, I can use the 'Summoning the Ancient Tree of Life Projection' effect?"

Cao Xing muttered to himself, a joyful smile spreading across his face.

After all, he had already witnessed how powerful the projection effect on that tree branch was.

They were able to trap all of them, more than a dozen legends, in place for half a minute!
If we could control it, it would be a force capable of turning the tide of battle!
Of course, it was also noted on the branch that only a powerful person who is proficient in the essence of wood can release this projection to achieve the strongest effect.

If Cao Xing himself were to use it, its effectiveness would likely be greatly diminished.

But even so, it doesn't diminish the strength of this branch!
Cao Xing thought to himself, "The fact that this branch of the Tree of Life can recover so quickly is most likely due to the blessing effect of the Pale Sacred Tree."

"This garden, including this entire territory, has been nourished by the aura of the sacred tree for a long time, and the soil contains amazing life energy."

I marvel once again at the wonder and power of the Pale Sacred Tree.

This makes him even more eager to find a complete ancient tree of life, and even transplant it to his own territory.

After all, as an ancient sacred tree that can be compared with the Pale Tree, it must have the same magical abilities!
Just as Cao Xing was still immersed in transplanting the complete [Tree of Life] to his territory, he suddenly felt a powerful and familiar aura rapidly approaching.

Accompanied by a powerful whooshing sound.

"Whoosh—whoosh—!"

He quickly looked up at the sky and saw a small black dot rapidly enlarging in the distance.

And it tore through the clouds at a terrifying speed of two to three kilometers per second!

However, under this oppressive aura that would terrify many powerful individuals, Cao Xing not only remained calm but also smiled.

"Finally back!"

"Having been away from the territory for so many days, I wonder if she has gained anything?"

He muttered to himself, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

Then, Cao Xing looked at the twin sisters in front of him and said, "Little Neve, Juliet, you two continue to take care of this branch and the other plants."

"Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything."

The two tree spirit sisters smiled at each other.

Juliet nodded gently and said, "Yes, my lord." "You may go about your business. We will contact you again if needed."

Neve, standing nearby, called out loudly, "My lord, if you have time, come and play games with Neve again!"

"My sister and I both want to play games with you!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, Juliet blushed and tugged shyly at Neve's sleeve.

Cao Xing couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

His gaze fell on the two women, scanning them up and down.

The girl's fair fingers were like exquisite jade, and her tight-fitting dress outlined her graceful curves.

Even through their clothes, one can imagine their near-perfect skin and figures.

Cao Xing felt a surge of warmth in his heart and nodded gently, saying, "Okay, I'll come find you when I'm done with my work."

"Then we played games together..."

"That's great!" Little Neve jumped up happily. "Then my sister and I will wait here for the lord."

"it is good."

Even her sister Juliet had a bright smile on her face.

Then, Cao Xing headed towards the buffer zone of the territory.

...

...

At the same time, that aura was only a dozen kilometers away from the territory, and the powerful dragon might swept in like a tidal wave!

Tens of thousands of workers also sensed something was wrong and looked up.

Then, they witnessed a shocking scene.

High in the sky, a colossal dragon covered in deep blue scales was rapidly approaching.

Its size is enormous, with a wingspan of over 100 meters, seemingly capable of blocking out the sun!

Its scales, as clear as ice, shimmered with a cold, eerie light.

What's even more awe-inspiring is that a solitary figure stands proudly on the back of this giant dragon.

She wore an elegant long dress, and beneath her exquisite features, her eyes were as sharp as ice blades.

It is indeed—Dragon Speaker Ice Orchid!
At this moment, Binglan, standing on the back of the dragon, frowned slightly when she saw the large number of workers and construction sites below.

But a moment later, she understood.

Ignoring it, he directly controlled Serafis to dive over the city wall and enter the territory.

In the empty buffer zone of the territory, a figure dressed in a frosty white robe, exuding a chilling aura, was already waiting.

Upon sensing the immense magical power emanating from the other party, Binglan's pupils suddenly contracted, and she murmured, "Legend..."

The next moment, she casually waved her hand, and the dragon's enormous body landed steadily in front of Cao Xing.

Binglan leaped off the dragon's back.

Cao Xing strode forward and said with a smile, "Welcome back, Binglan."

The usually aloof woman paused for a moment. After running around for so many days and only coming into contact with strangers, she subconsciously maintained that unapproachable aura.

This is also a means she uses to protect herself.

Cao Xing could naturally see her wariness and continued, "Relax, you're home now."

"You don't need to be so nervous here."

Upon hearing this, Binglan's tense brows softened slightly, and the chill emanating from her body gradually dissipated. She then nodded slightly.

Although Binglan's reaction was rather cold, Cao Xing still wore a gentle smile.

"Now, report on your recent exploration findings."

"Have you found the place I asked you to look for?"

Binglan raised her icy blue eyes and replied, "Found it."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Cao Xing's eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

However, Binglan immediately added, "But... something's not right there."

"Something's not right?" Cao Xing couldn't help but repeat.

Binglan nodded slightly. "Yes."

"Just as you guessed, that place has been renamed."

"It is not called Whirlpool Mountain, but Tian Shu Sacred Mountain."

“Mount Tian Shu…” Cao Xing murmured the strange name, but he had no impression of this place in his mind.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "And where is this Heavenly Pivot Sacred Mountain located?"

Binglan paused for a moment, then slowly said, "In the central region of the Western Continent."

At that moment, Cao Xing frowned deeply and subconsciously murmured, "The center of the Western Continent..."

"You mean, Whirlpool Mountain is near the territory of the Human Empire?"

Binglan nodded: "That's right."

"This is the conclusion I reached by consulting various intelligence agencies and combining it with some ancient books, based on various clues I obtained."

According to legend, Tian Shu Sacred Mountain was called Whirlpool Mountain about 6,000 years ago.

"The reason for the name change is a major event that affected the entire Western Continent."

She let out a soft breath, then calmly began her narration.

"Six thousand years ago, the human empire had just been established and its power in the western continent was not strong. It was even suppressed and ostracized by other ancient races at one time."

"After several regional conflicts, the various races on the continent have accumulated a lot of resentment towards the human race."

"On that day, the vampires, the stone people, Nara and other ancient races joined forces to launch an attack on the human empire."

"They deployed several demigods, gathered tens of millions of troops, and even used powerful weapons of war like the Titan Cannon to attack the territory of the human empire."

"The allied army swept through the land with unstoppable momentum, destroying numerous towns and even killing legendary-level powerhouses one after another. The human empire is on the verge of collapse."

At this point, Binglan's voice lowered: "At this critical moment of life and death, the spatial rift at the center of Vortex Mountain began to rotate, bursting forth with a seven-colored pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and the earth."

"A being bearing twelve divine rings burst forth from within, its divine light illuminating an area spanning millions of miles!"

"Furthermore, this mysterious being helped the human empire repel a powerful enemy and even extinguished the divine fire of the progenitor Nara with a single blow."

"Other ancient tribes were also completely suppressed by this mysterious being."

"After that battle, other ancient races were crippled and rendered useless, and had to retreat with their remaining strength. The human empire established its supreme hegemony over the western continent in one fell swoop."

"From then on, Whirlpool Mountain was renamed Tian Shu Sacred Mountain, meaning the pivot to which the mandate of heaven rests..."

After listening, Cao Xing's eyes flashed with shock once again.

The information contained in Binglan's words is astonishing.

Whirlpool Mountain has been renamed Tian Shu Sacred Mountain, where a terrifying, sleeping being is hidden!
With this person's strength, they could even kill the demigod-level progenitor Nara in one blow!
Cao Xing had already witnessed just how powerful a demigod-level expert could be.

To instantly kill such a powerful opponent, you would need to possess power that completely overwhelms them; otherwise, it's simply impossible.

In other words, the being carrying twelve divine rings is very likely a true deity!

This astonishing news left Cao Xing speechless for a moment before he slowly asked, "And then what happened? Where did that mysterious being go?"

Upon hearing this question, Binglan gently shook her head: "I don't know."

"It is said that after that battle, the other party set off towards the Frozen Sea, and some say that it left the Western Continent."

"There are even rumors that this person is hiding in the royal secret realm of the human empire; in short, there are many conflicting accounts..."

Cao Xing stared at the sky, lost in thought.

These legends are too fantastical and unbelievable.

However, one thing is certain: this being is no longer in Whirlpool Mountain.

In other words, if Cao Xing wants to go to that vortex mountain, also known as Tian Shu Sacred Mountain, to kill the 'Extreme Cold Demon Insects' inside and complete the first step of the [True God Trial] mission, he should not encounter that mysterious powerhouse.

Of course, this is on the premise that Cao Xing can reach the center of the Western Continent.

After all, according to various intelligence reports, there was also a survivor named Meng Yi who revealed this information.

The human empire is now shrouded in a dream woven by the ancient dragon Morpheus.

Not to mention demigods, even gods cannot wake up from a dream.

Going there now would be tantamount to walking into a trap.

Just then, a flash of inspiration struck Cao Xing!
He whispered, "I remember... Mu Xue obtained a special epic item before, called 'Light Mirror: Illusion Breaker'."

"The effect of this mirror is that it can release 'light of dispelling illusions' in illusory scenes, guiding people to the right path..."

"And the dream of the ancient dragon Morpheus should also be a kind of illusion."

"So, can this mirror be used in dreams?"
