At night, the graveyard.
Bright torches illuminated the surroundings.
In the valley, stood towering black trees, their black leaves rustling in the night wind.
Peaceful Spirit Tree.
The faith of the Dryad clan, every Dryad at birth would have an elder from their family personally plant a Peaceful Spirit Tree for them in the cemetery.
Every year on their birthday, they would hold a grand ceremony, where the clan members had to nourish the Peaceful Spirit Tree planted that year with their own blood.
Beyond that, they also needed to connect their life essence with the planted Peaceful Spirit Tree through the corresponding Array rituals.
As they grew older, the planted Peaceful Spirit Trees became lush and added rings yearly, until the end of their lives.
On the day of death, their interconnected Peaceful Spirit Technique would also perish, and the Dryads' bodies would be placed in the graveyard.
