Zachary had no doubt that the giant tree was similarly endowed with dynamic life, even though he had no evidence and didn't dare to get close to it by venturing into the shadow of the tree canopy. He was thoroughly convinced of it.
If things went as they often did in most novels, Zachary, the protagonist, whether by choice or by circumstance, would inevitably end up in the shadows of the tree canopy, face some dangers, and ultimately acquire something vital for him.
However, Zachary was not as brave as the protagonists in other stories; instead, he was extremely cautious. Although his cultivation had reached the late Foundation Building stage, he still was not willing to take the risk.
In the end, he reluctantly glanced at the shadows not far away, then raised his head to look at the giant tree deep within the shadows, quietly resolving in his heart to wait until his Nascent Soul was formed.
