Chapter 548 Youyou! The island is still shaking, hold on tight to Uncle Ling, don't run around.
Immediately afterwards!
The tremors of the entire floating island grew more and more violent, but there was not a trace of ferocity in them!
Instead, it resembled an ancient behemoth that had been sleeping for millennia, finally stretching its limbs and slowly opening its eyes.
The ground suddenly shook, and Lan Youyou's small body staggered, almost losing her balance.
Xu Wan's heart tightened, and she immediately stepped forward, reaching out to grab her arm.
But Ling Shuo was even faster. Almost the instant Lan Youyou swayed, he rushed over, grabbed her small hand firmly, and pulled her to his side, his tone urgent yet gentle:
"Yoyo, watch out! Stand still, don't fall!"
Xu Wan gently withdrew her hand, which was halfway outstretched.
He nodded slightly in acknowledgment and then turned his attention back to the restless source of the secret realm.
Holding Ling Shuo's hand firmly, Lan Youyou immediately felt at ease. Clutching the warm golden fruit in her arms, she tilted her little face up and sweetly said:
"Thank you, Uncle Ling! Youyou is alright!"
Ling Shuo was still worried, so he held her hand tightly and whispered his instructions:
"Yoyo! The island is still shaking. Hold on tight to Uncle Ling and don't run around."
"Ok!"
Lan Youyou nodded vigorously, her small body swaying slightly with the gentle tremors of the ground, but she stood firmly because someone was protecting her.
Her round eyes widened even more, her little hand pointed tightly at the fruit tree, and her voice was full of amazement:
"Sister Master! Look! The tree is glowing all over! Brighter than the sun in the sky!"
"Uncle Ling, look! What beautiful golden light!"
Ling Shuo looked up, his expression also filled with shock, yet he still didn't let go of Lan Youyou's protective hand:
"This is the complete awakening of the secret realm's origin... What a magnificent vitality and spiritual light!"
The Myriad Spirits Golden Marrow Bead on Xu Wan's wrist suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light.
A vast expanse of spiritual light shot straight into the sky, echoing the Myriad Spirit Golden Heart Fruit Tree in the center of the island, weaving together to form a dazzling golden curtain of light.
The pale gold patterns that had been dormant on the tree trunk came to life instantly, spreading wildly along the branches like flowing water.
Ultimately, all of it flows into every single fruit on the branch, making the already radiant golden fruit even more dazzling.
As soon as she finished speaking, another strange phenomenon occurred.
Suddenly, fine yet regular cracks appeared in the five-colored soil at the foot of the fruit tree.
The warm, moist soil slowly rolled over to both sides, revealing an ancient and imposing octagonal stone platform below.
Each side of the stone platform is carved with mysterious and intricate ancient spiritual patterns, with liquid-like golden spiritual liquid flowing along the patterns.
A rich, almost tangible spiritual energy wafted over, making one feel refreshed and relaxed with every breath.
In the very center of the stone platform, a fist-sized, transparent seed lay quietly.
The seeds are as if they were sculpted from crystal!
Inside, a miniature golden sapling floats, its slender branches swaying gently!
Each sway creates visible, gentle ripples that cleanse everything around it.
Ling Shuo gasped sharply.
His voice trembled uncontrollably, and his steps faltered slightly, yet he still held Lan Youyou firmly in his arms:
"This, this is... the mother plant of the Golden Heart Tree of All Spirits!"
"A treasure that existed only in legends in ancient books... has actually appeared in the world!"
He rushed forward, but stopped abruptly at the edge of the stone platform.
Even their breathing was soft, not daring to overstep the bounds, their eyes surging with extreme awe and fervor:
“Miss Xu, according to ancient records, the Myriad Spirit Golden Heart Tree is not a spiritual tree of the mortal world, but rather the original tree formed from the first wisp of life in the world at the beginning of time!”
"The fruit tree before us that bears fruit is at best a tiny branch that split off from the mother plant; it doesn't even compare to one ten-thousandth of the original essence!"
"He who obtains the Mother Seed can control the endless vitality of heaven and earth, and can control the growth and creation of all living beings. It is a true treasure of heaven and earth!"
Xu Wan gazed quietly at the translucent mother seed.
A burning, pulsating sensation emanated from the point where his palm connected to the Myriad Spirits Golden Marrow Bead.
The connection of blood reached its peak at this moment.
The tiny saplings in the mother tree are continuously conveying ancient and gentle messages to her.
That was a long wait spanning tens of thousands of years, a weighty trust that could not be betrayed.
Lan Youyou was being led by the hand by Ling Shuo, standing on tiptoe.
He cautiously approached the stone platform, craning his neck out, and whispered as he gripped the edge:
"Wow...what beautiful seeds, like crystal balls."
There was also a tiny tree inside, much smaller than the saplings Uncle Ling planted in the garden…
Ling Shuo quickly and gently pulled her aside, saying softly:
"Youyou, slow down, don't get too close. The stone platform is protected by ancient spirit patterns."
She abruptly turned her head to look at Xu Wan, her small face full of seriousness, and tilted her head back to ask:
"Sister Master, is this seed even more powerful than the little golden fruit in Youyou's arms? Is it the most powerful treasure?"
Xu Wan nodded gently, her voice soft yet firm:
"That's right, it's the source of all the spiritual plants here, the very lifeblood of this entire secret realm."
"Oh!"
Lan Youyou blinked, seemingly understanding but not quite, and looked down at the fragrant golden fruit in her arms.
Her little brows immediately furrowed, and her round face was filled with worry.
The little hands hugged the golden fruit tighter, then reluctantly pushed it forward a little more:
"Then...should we return Youyou's fruit to Shushu?"
"Let the tree take it back, and then let more and more saplings and fruits grow, okay?"
Although she was very reluctant, she still handed the golden fruit towards the fruit tree.
Her eyes were bright and sparkling, yet tinged with a hint of reluctant tears, as she whispered to the fruit tree:
"Shushu, here's your fruit back. Grow up well, and Youyou will come to visit you often and talk to you, okay?"
The voice just fell.
The golden fruit in her arms suddenly trembled slightly, floated into the air on its own, and swayed slowly, as if it were desperately shaking its head.
However, the next moment...
The remaining dozen or so golden fruits on the tree suddenly trembled violently!
One by one, the flowers detached themselves from the branches and floated slowly to Lan Youyou's side, circling happily around her small body.
Lan Youyou froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded!
Her little mouth was wide open, her eyes were wide open, and her little head followed the golden fruits around and around. Dizzy, she tugged at Xu Wan's sleeve and shouted:
"Sister Master! They...they've all flown over! So many little golden fruits!"
"Youyou is going to be surrounded by golden fruits! It's like a dream!"
"Hahaha..."
Seeing this, Ling Shuo loosened his grip slightly to make her feel more at ease, and smiled:
"Hahaha... It seems these spiritual fruits have chosen you as their little master."
A dozen or so golden fruits swirled and danced around her, their soft golden light enveloping her.
The tiny blue creature seemed to be standing in the center of a golden galaxy, incredibly cute.
The branches of the fruit trees swayed gently, rustling softly, as if they were smiling tenderly.
The next breath!!
All the golden fruits stopped moving at the same time, lined up neatly in a row, and floated obediently to Lan Youyou.
The first golden fruit gently rubbed against her little face, then turned and touched the golden fruit she had initially been holding.
Lan Youyou was stunned for a long time, then her little mind suddenly clicked, and she exclaimed in surprise:
"You...you want Youyou to take you all away? To go home with Youyou, right?"
Whoosh...
The golden fruits instantly lit up with golden light, as if they were answering in unison.
"But, but..."
Lan Youyou stomped her little feet in frustration and waved her two little hands helplessly.
She looked at this and then at that, her little face full of distress.
"Youyou only has two little hands, she can't hold this much! It will fall to the ground!"
She looked down at the golden fruit in her arms, then looked up at the long line of golden fruit in front of her, her little eyes darting around.
She immediately turned to look at Xu Wan, her voice soft and coquettish:
"Sister Master, what should we do? They all want to go with Youyou, but Youyou can't carry them..."
"Sister Master~~ I want to... put them all into that pretty storage ring you're wearing on your hand! Okay?"
