Chapter 37 - The Tree of the Spirit (PART 2)

Julius exhausted dragged his body to the magnificent tree, which did not seem to belong to this material plane.

He soon stood in front of it and slowly reached out his hand, touching the bark of the tree, but he felt as if he was not touching anything.

"This is a Tree of the Spirit... it is still immaculate…" - said Julius stunned, he even thought of pinching himself to see if he was dreaming.

The Tree of the Spirit is a mysterious natural treasure that benefits every first cultivator who drinks its sap.

A Tree of Spirit will create something called the Seed of Spirit within the Soul of a Cultivator, which not only increases the rate of purification of any type of Energy by dozens of times but also greatly increases the Power of the Soul.

In his past life, Julius was never fortunate enough to find an immaculate Tree of Spirit like the one in front of him, he always found those already used.

Once he found a Tree of the Spirit, which had just been used by a 5-year-old boy, who was not even a Cultivator, centuries later he became a legendary figure.

And a common thing about the Trees of the Spirit is that only 1 is born per world since it is born from the Spirit of the World.

It would not be a mistake to call the Tree of the Spirit, as the Spirit of the World, as the Seed of the Spirit, the Seed of the World.

But only a few Worlds have the chance to form a Tree of the Spirit, if Julius were to count how many were found in his past life, even with all the Billions of Years of History, he would say it was only 1 Million.

1 Million may seem like a lot, but for an Existential Plan with thousands of Universes, with infinite worlds, which has lived for over 100 Billion Years, only 1 Million is an absurdly low number.

Knowing that he had found such a treasure that would make any God envy, Julius was very happy, it was indescribable happiness!

'With the Seed of the Spirit and my Immaculate Soul, I no longer need to waste time purifying my Qi and Vital Energy…' - Julius thought animatedly.

One thing that every Cultivator has to be very careful about, would be his Qi or Vital Energy, or any kind of Energy he cultivates, because being very impure, will make future advances impossible.

Therefore a lot of time is used to purify the Qi as much as possible, even with Sky Grade Cultivation Techniques, it is still not enough to purify all the incoming Energy and then transform it into Qi and Vital Energy.

But because of Julius' Immaculate Soul, the speed with which he purifies all the Energies is already something terrifying, but he still wastes a lot of time, but now with a Seed of Spirit, he will not need to worry.

It may be said that if an ordinary Cultivator were to obtain the Seed of Spirit, his speed for purifying the Qi or Vital Energy, would be of the same speed as Julius.

Now if Julius, who already has an Immaculate Soul, were to obtain a Seed of Spirit, he would not even have to worry about impurities, his Soul and future Seed of Spirit would passively purify all the Energies, then he would only have to worry about accumulating the Energy of the surroundings.

Such a situation left Julius immensely happy, he swallowed his saliva and soon took a dagger out of his Space Ring, carefully he made a slight cut in its shell, soon a blue and gray colored sap began to flow.

Without hesitating, Julius gathered some of the sap in his palm and soon took it to his lips, a sweet and refreshing taste appeared in his mouth, the next instant his body froze with the sudden gust of a mysterious cold Energy.

But this Energy was not common, it was related to the Soul!

Julius felt very strange and before he could realize it, he was already unconscious!

…

"Huh?! Where am I? What is this place?" - You asked Julius stunned while looking around.

Today he was in a huge pasture, with beautiful animals wandering quietly, eating the grass, playing and much more.

Julius was surprised and felt very familiar with this place, but no matter how hard he tried to remember, even his memory that he should never forget anything, no matter how long it took, was unable to remember this place.

And as he carefully assessed the place, Julius suddenly frowned when he saw a beautiful man beside him, he was a little taller than he was, with long black hair and a majestic and frightening aura.

Julius knew who this man was very well, he saw such a face for over 350,000 years, this was Lucius, his past life self.

"What the hell is going on?" - Julius asked, and Lucius smiling just pointed in one direction.

Looking in the direction, Julius found the Tree of the Spirit, which seemed to be calling him.

He then walked towards the tree, Lucius followed him calmly, the way they both walked was similar and synchronized, they seemed to be the same person, even if they are, but at the same time not?

Soon Julius stood before the Tree of the Spirit and Lucius stood beside him, his shoulders almost glued to each other.

They looked at each other a little before looking at the Tree of Spirit and suddenly an ancient and gentle voice sounded.

"You are not from here, but you are from here, what are you?" - The voice was full of doubt and confusion but soon continued. - "My questions make no sense so that they are not answered, I entrust my child to you, may she grow strong and firm by your side, Julius Sky'Dragon, or will it be Lucius? May Destiny be at your side."

The next instant Julius and Lucius began to tremble intensely, soon their bodies flew and took a distance of 20 meters from each other, but the next instant they collided, merging into one!

"Who am I? Why do I still live? Why do I still try? Why do I despise myself? Why do I keep fighting? Why do I question myself?" - Confusion painted his face, unanswered questions kept ringing out of his mouth, and then the question that resounded most to him: What am I? It didn't stop being asked.

…

Abrupt Inspiration*

Julius woke up while he stared and sucked as much air as possible as if he were someone who was soon being drowned, but who soon reached the surface and could finally breathe.

Cough* Cough*

Julius coughed intensely, but soon he calmed down, but was still confused and the question: What am I? It kept resounding in his mind over and over again.

"I need the answer… I need to know, or I can never become an Entity!" - Julius said with a strong determination burning in his eyes.

He now had a real goal besides just being strong, he wanted to find out who and what he is, he needs to know if he wants to continue living.

…

"So this is the Seed of the Spirit... really magnificent! But why is it counted as a Legendary Grade Spiritual Beast?" - Julius was confused when he looked at his Grimoire, who had a new Legendary Beast hired, called the Seed of the Spirit.

And when Julius went to see the page of the Seed of Spirit, he saw nothing but a description.

"I don't know what it is, but when it is finished sprouting, something mystical will be born, but I wonder what, I have never heard of a Seed of the Spirit sprouting…" - Said Julius full of curiosity.
