"I feel that the Tribesman actually inject something within this tree bark." Long Feng felt slightly suspicious on the Figure's recent action when he read the tree bark's content, before Long Feng sense a hint of conscience is placed into the tree bark. Unknown to himself, this tree bark is actually something from a Saint Tree, which is counted as a valuable treasure that only could be given by those accepted by the Saint Tree as Kindred Souls. This treasure allows the owner to record and transfer any visual messages into the so-called Saint Papyrus, a Visual Message recording treasure.
Long Feng inject some essence energy into the tree bark once again, and immediately noticed the additional information that just been recorded by the Prosperity Tribe figure a while back. Long Feng move his attention on that visual records, and finally found out the exact location of where is this [Wood Elves Treasure] is actually located.
"It is actually just close to my location about five hundred metres!" Long Feng tense expression became lighter as his target finally is located. Without wasting anytime, he quickly proceeds towards that spot in haste, worrying that the [Wood Elves Treasure] might be taken away by someone else. Just within five minutes, Long Feng finally appears before a kind of large trunk tree with at least ten to twenty thick vines dropped from its heavily leafy top.
"This tree gave me a sense of danger, it must be either a protector or the fruit producer." Long Feng carefully get closer to the tree while taking caution on his surrounding. The next moment, one of the thick vines finally unable to control its rage any longer, as it charges over towards Long Feng's direction like a whip with thorns. "As expected!" Long Feng defend himself with the Defensive Wu Sword Art.
A net of Thorny Vines against a Ball of Steel made with swords. The thick vine slowly being cut off bit by bit, but granted with its high regeneration speed, the thick vine continues to tighten as Long Feng's Sword Ball quickly shrink from two meters length into barely one meter. Feeling that he will no longer hold any advantages, Long Feng wrapped his Red Fire Stage Foundation on his Qian Kun Sword as he stabbed towards the vine's thick body.
"Arr!!" the vine quickly get engulf into flames like a bottle of alcohol made its contact with the blazing fire. The thick vine quickly burns until it turned into ashes, as the remaining twenty or so thorny vines started to make its move. Surrounded by the thick vines net all over again, Long Feng began to get more offensive compared to a while ago.
"Try this new move of mine!" Long Feng position himself as he slowly chants the scriptures within the depth of the Xuan Wu Sword Sect Martial Arts.
Be proud of your appearance,
Be proud with your glory,
Once the Xuan Wu make its appearance,
Once the world shakes in fury,
Each Step of the Xuan represents Offense,
Each growl of the Wu represents Defence,
Understanding Xuan and Understanding Wu,
Only to understand the Divination of Wu,
Attain the Heavenly body before your arise,
And make your appearance when the sun rise.
"Proud of my appearance, Proud on my newly founded glory, the moment Xuan Wu made it appearance, the whole world will shake in my fury. Each Xuan represents Offense, and each Wu represents Defence!" Long Feng repeatedly chants the content without fail, and the more he chants, the more his each single movement appears to have the remnants of the Mighty Xuan Wu Tortoise!

"Roar!" Long Feng screams loudly as his sword began to turn into a shape of the claw as it strikes towards the ground! The single limb, formed from Essence Energy began to quickly spread along to his another hand, allowing the idle hand without any weapon to possess 1/100,000 of the overall strength of the Mighty Xuan Wu. Just like this, Long Feng's both hand has begun to act like a twin claws that allows him to easily tear off the net formed by those vines. Even if they are viciously covered with thorns all along the body, but under the Essence Energy formed a pair of claws, nothing else has the qualification to object its immense presence.
[Limbs of Xuan Wu]
Finally, the tree full of vines had been totally defeated by Long Feng's might, as the remaining vines slowly fall to the ground like a broken octopus tentacles. The moment the last vine falls, the leafy top of the tree slowly unveil the treasure well hidden within, and without any objection, the [Wood Elves Treasure] finally appeared before Long Feng's eyes.
Long Feng slowly walks toward the spot where the Brain Shaped fruit is hanging down from the tree, and put some pressure on his hand as he plucks it. The moment he harvests the only fruit on the tree, all the remaining leaves started to fall, as the stalk of a branch that holding the fruit starts to wither. The withering continues as it goes to the trunk, and soon on the body, and immediately into its roots, until the whole tree withered and blown away as dust scattered among the air.
"This sudden changes happened too quick. Did I actually do something I shouldn't have?" Long Feng slightly worried about his action may cause some uncertainty within this realm. But as a figure quickly appears before him, Long Feng worries had all dissipated. The figure turned around after it gave a bow towards where the tree is rooted previously and turned around as it looked at Long Feng. Facing him directly, the figure revealed to be Tulumu, as it showing Long Feng the action of "Eat the fruit" continuously.
Long Feng stared at the piece of fruit for a moment, as he hesitates, but since Tulumu doesn't seem to have any suspicious presence around him, Long Feng felt that he should trust this tribesman for a moment. He had a bite on that piece of fruit, and because of its flavour is totally mesmerizing, Long Feng finished the fruit unconsciously. Just the moment he finished that seedless fruit, a surge of well-kept memories started to flows into Long Feng's mind without any hint of stopping midway.
----------
This is the realm I wasted almost my whole life to create. The first Millennia used to create the sea that flourished with essence, and the second Millennia are used to properly create the continent. The moment the Continent is created, I named it as the Continent of Mu, according to my name. In the third Millennia, I spend almost all of my effort in creating the life within, whom I called the Prosperity Tribe, in hope that they could live happily and prosper throughout the realm is still alive. Unfortunately, I am still yet to achieve the attainment of exceeding Immortality, so, I still carry the resentment of life within my heart. Due to this resentment, the Wooden Beast is born as well, along with the Prosperity Tribe.
In order to allow the Prosperity Tribe, my bloodline to continue to prosper, I spent the final fourth Millennia of my life to create a rule that each of them will carry forever, which is immortality of life. Although I am yet to achieve the stage of Exceeding Immortality, through this kind of Rules, I could allow them to prosper accordingly. But in return, they will be reborn again and again, shackled by this rules. But at the same time, it is unfortunate, because by shackling my own bloodline with such rules against the will of the Heaven, the Wooden Beast too obtained the similarity of rules in their own way.

My Shackle is called as the [Fruit of Life Mantra], which allows each of my dead descendant to be reborn into a totally new body, as long the memories is thoroughly combined into one. Their memories from before will remain in the new body, and no matter how much in the life they have to walk through, they will be immortal forever. The only downfall from this matter is that the amount of sentient descendant I could create is limited, so as long this realm managed to obtained more and more memories into this realm, the number of Sentient Descendant of mine will increase as well.
But at the same time, the Wooden Beast obtained the shackle called as [Curse of Fruit Mantra]. This mantra is strong and in the same time, deadly. But no matter what kind of deadliness it could carry within the Mantra, there is one positive benefit my Bloodline could be obtained from this. As the Yin couldn't survive without Yang, it is the same for the side of Yang. As the Wooden Beast is subdued and eliminated, a kind of Brown Crystal Bead could be obtained from them, which could further strengthen my descendant's cultivation.
Unfortunately again, that's all the benefit my bloodline could get, in exchange for the extremely flourishing growth of the Wooden Beast kinds. Perhaps, this is the result of my action in trying to preserve my bloodline as long as I could. But at the same time, this Realm I created, will extremely benefit for those from my origin as well. In the return of their life they gave into this realm, I gave them the benefits in the term of Spirit Herbs. As long the vegetation is able to grow in any soil, it will have no problem to grow within this realm.
This Continent of Mu contain seven different section, and within each edge of the continent, a part of my life bound spirit treasure is being sealed within, to those who are fated to inherit it. The moment you obtains this [Wood Elves Treasure] formed from my blood, it is the form of indication that you are one of the fated one to inherit my life. I hope with this inheritance, you could help my descendant to prosper, and protect them from any ill will that may corrupt them.
I am Mu Dou, also known as the Heavenly Chariot God.
----------
With all the memories of inheritance finally entered and accepted by Long Feng's mind, he finally awoke from his long slumber. Although it is only about ten hours had passed, but the Second Sun had already come out about 10 hours ago, which means Long Feng had already fallen unconscious for around 10 hours or more. Beside him, the Figure from Prosperity Tribe passed a cone of water from a firm cone shape leaf, as he looked at Long Feng patiently. [Are you awake now? Can you speak?] Tulumu speaks in his own native tongue.
[I can actually understand your words] Long Feng replied in the similar native tongue as well. Even more shocking, it felt like a language he was speaking throughout his life because the fluency of his speech actually felt so natural that he does it without any prior consideration. Looking at his reply, Tulumu finally gave out a smile, because he finally managed to communicate with Long Feng at last.
[I'm Tulumu, a young born descendant age two thousand years.] Tulumu introduced himself as he looked at this new inheritor. [I'm Long Feng, I guess we finally could communicate. Could you tell me where is this place we are at now?] Long Feng introduce himself as he tried to get a rough location he is within currently. But as he had the feeling of knowing his current location, a kind of echolocation happened within his mind, as a geology map of his surrounding with beings along his path appears immediately.
[Friend Feng, from your face, I think you just obtained the special traits of our peoples too. Don't you feel amazed with this?] Tulumu smiles as he speaks. Soon he continued. [Friend Feng, Tulumu actually have a request that maybe friend Feng could help. This Tulumu actually has memories regarding a very special kind of food that was made from the previous visitor long time ago, but because we have no such knowledge, we couldn't make it. Do you think that you could do us a favour to try creating it?]
[Can friend Tulumu shows me the food?] Long Feng felt a slight hesitation, but since Tulumu had already asked in a very polite way, he felt that it would be very impolite to reject such a request. But the moment Tulumu reveals three kinds of Pills within his chest, Long Feng's sight turned from worries into happiness. It is actually the Wood Fragrant Pill that used to Temper the Wood Element Foundation, the Wild Pill, which is the antidote for the Golden Crippling Powder, and lastly, the Calming Spirit Dew Pellet, a medicinal Pill that could help in reducing cultivation stress and backlash when cultivating.
[Friend Tulumu, I have no problem to create this three "Foods" you mentioned, about, but in my world, we called it as Medicinal Pills.] Long Feng smiles as he answered Tulumu. Listening to his reply, Tulumu's reaction immediately changed as he started to wriggle around with all the roots within his back started to pop up in happiness. Without any delay, Long Feng withdraws his White Stone Pill Cauldron as he began to refine some of the Pills Tulumu asked.
Within one hour, Long Feng had already completed a total of four sets of each kind of ingredients, with a total of 49,488 sets of ingredients still remained in his Spatial Ring. [Friend Tulumu, please take this as a gift for now.] Long Feng passed a total of 120 mixtures of different grade Wood Fragrant Pill, Wild Pill and Calming Spirit Dew Pellet to Tulumu.
As it received the 120 Pills in hand, Tulumu, who have no restrictions in their personality, immediately swallowed all the Pill in one shot, as its body started to refine all the Pills as it went through it's weird looking, wooden body. Unknown that it is either the might of the Pill or the quick absorption rate of the Prosperity Tribesmen, Tulumu's strength instantly increased from Peak of Adept Realm into Middle Human Practitioner Realm within a blink of eyes, as if it had been charged with steroids. even its body became even more scarlet in colour, and those mixtures of grasses and leaves on his back actually turned into even more light lustre grasses.
[Friend Feng, you had really helped me in this matter. This way, our tribe will have some way out when the Wooden Beast storm come in another four more suns!] Tulumu's word immediately gave Long Feng a slight shock, because this serene looking Continent might not be as peaceful as he seen.
