Wilderness, Splendid Forest.
At this time, the Splendid Forest had already undergone a vast transformation from its prior state.
In the center of the forest, a giant tree, reaching a kilometer high, stood tall, its crown touching the clouds.
The tree seemed somewhat like a pine tree, with dense and numerous needles displaying a silver-green color.
Its overall shape was triangular, resembling a colossal tower piercing straight into Yunxiao.
Strangely, its branches bore large numbers of structures similar to pine cones, laden with fruit.
The trunk was thick, with layer upon layer stacked upwards, forming a thick protective shield.
And in the center of the trunk, an ancient face could faintly be seen, eyes tightly shut, as it slumbered.
Pull the view higher still.
Ten kilometers to the east and west of the giant tree, two giant fortresses of starkly different styles stood proudly!
