Azurecloud Divine Tree

Azureclouse Divine Tree is a part of the sun itself. Many of its roots are intertwined with the fusion formation and in contact with the nova source. The tree is doubtless the oldest life form in Orderia, having lived for millions of years. The reason it isn’t a divine herb is because divine herbs grow from its flowers and fruits. People consider it a miraculous life form. Every ten thousand years, it bears fruit, which is a blessing to those living on this continent. Some, however, consider it a leech for consuming the nova source of the continent and leaving its shade a barren place for cultivation. They even try cutting it down. It's complicated. What I know is it’s an ancestral decree in our sect to defend the tree with our lives.

The Azurecloud Divine Tree is actually a unique, ancient lifeform that can be considered to be a plant-type cosmic wildbeast. It is a special lifeform that absorbs fundamental cosmic force and feeds it back to cultivators in its vicinity in a way similar to symbiotic cultivation. In a sense, it can connect with everyone near it.

After being saved by Li Tianming and Xianxian, the divine tree gave them 35 saplings. They’re basically young divine trees. One day, they will grow into new divine trees. It said that this is both a gift and request. If you find a good place to plant them and protect them, they’ll each grow into a divine tree like this one. All of them will be able to harvest the nova source and convert it into countless divine herbs. The Azure Divine Tree believes that Li Tianming will definitely become really powerful one day, and the thirty-five divine trees will help him construct a bountiful and prosperous galactic empire. Tianming’s greatness was its greatness as well.

It said that saplings like them are really rare across the universe. As they can store large amounts of nova source, they’re often used as supplemental power sources for divine astralships! When the big dumbo was still a sapling, it served as one such power source. The nova source it absorbed could be used to power those ships and fuel cultivation as well. The only difference between the nova source it stores and releases and that of the sun is the rate of release.

Nova source in the form of plant energy is released slightly slower, so it can’t be used to power the formations of divine astralships, which often require large bursts of power. So, it can’t be used for assault astralships like the Divine Sun Palace. However, it can be used for high-speed travel across the cosmic aether. Once the nova source stored within the saplings is used up, they can be recharged by bringing the saplings to a nova source world. The thirty-five pairs of saplings can probably be used to power the Ninedragon Cruiser once they’ve all been charged up in Orderia.

After Li Xuanyang suffered a devastating defeat at the hands of Li Tianming, he went absolutely crazy. To vent his anger, he destroyed the Azurecloud Divine Tree.

The divine tree had fallen. There would be no more shade or birdsong to accompany blooming flowers. Gone was its fruit that seemed to fill up the sky, and gone was their blood connection to the tree. Children born after today would never know Azurecloud’s beauty; that would only exist in their parents' memories. For countless years, the divine tree had flourished, nourishing numerous generations. And at the end, the blood-red tree gave its people a chance to escape. The young saplings wailed because they knew that their mother had perished. Wiping away tears from the corners of his eyes, Tianming clenched his fists, but didn’t look back. He headed south, carrying the continent’s last hope.

When the dust finally dissipated, there were blood-red corpses everywhere. They gradually disappeared, submerged by colorful flowers that symbolized innocence and new life. Although the divine tree was dead, the place it had once taken root was now a beautiful sea of flowers that extended for miles. No one could guess that each beautiful flower meant the death of a celestial orderian. There was an even larger sea of flowers north of the continent. Most of the blood red leaves drifted over and eventually withered. The celestial orderians were the only ones affected. Meanwhile, the ordinary folk in the mountains and fields cried for the loss of their divine tree.

They would never forget this day. The history books would record the death of seven million elite cultivators in this unremarkable continent. Among them, 1.8 million died on Azuresword Soul Mountain, and another 5.2 million had been killed by the Azurecloud Divine Tree.
