Chapter 2195

Chapter 2195: Chapter 2195: Qingling Tree Chapter 2195: Chapter 2195: Qingling Tree Mabel Nebula has come to the garden entrance several times to bring meals for Ethan Smith, but she failed to enter the garden and eventually gave up.

In a blink of an eye, Ethan Smith had been in this garden for over ten days.

During these dozen days, Ethan has barely moved, but given his current realm, improvement could not be achieved in a short time.

Hence, he rose and walked out of the garden, taking a leisurely stroll around the warship.

Unconsciously, Ethan Smith found himself in the Nebula Family's training field.

There were not many people on the field, just a dozen or so. They sat cross-legged, slowly absorbing qi from around them.

Not far away, an ancient towering tree stood tall, with thick, verdant leaves enveloping its crown.

The ancient tree exhaled drifts of qi, that lingered like mist around its trunk and leaves. Each strand of qi was so fresh and pure, as if all the essence of heaven and earth were concentrated.

The trunk of the ancient tree was silver-gray, smoothly mirror-like. The interweaving lines on the trunk resembled an intricate scroll, recording the tree's long history. Some lines were as delicate as silk, others were robust, each displaying the ancient tree's tenacity and wisdom.

Ethan Smith, looking at the ancient tree, murmured to himself: “This ancient tree is unusual; it seems the qi of the entire warship is derived from this tree.”

At that moment, he could not help but have thoughts of “plundering”, but that moment passed quickly. After all, the Nebula Family was decent, and even this ancient tree was not indispensable for Ethan Smith.

Underneath the tree, Jago Nebula and Mabel Nebula were sitting cross-legged. Next to them was Uncle Kortez.

They were trying their best to absorb the qi that the ancient tree emitted, as if they were starving and thirsty, craving the nourishment and cultivation that the qi provided.

At this moment, Uncle Kortez spotted Ethan Smith. He waved and said, “Clayton Smith, come and cultivate with us.”

Ethan Smith was just about to refuse when Uncle Kortez came over to him.

Because of Uncle Kortez's enthusiasm, Ethan Smith couldn't bear to refuse, so he followed Uncle Kortez under the ancient tree, hoping this would give him a closer look at the history of this tree.

Ethan Smith stood under the tree, looking up at the enormous ancient tree.

Uncle Kortez, standing proudly nearby, started speaking, “This old tree is named the Qingling Tree. It's a treasure brought back by our Nebula Family's ancestors from a sacred place at the risk of their lives. It was thanks to this tree that our family rose to be an aristocratic family.”

Ethan Smith looked up at the ancient tree, extending a bit of his divine sense into the tree.

Soon, he felt a hint of divine sense coming from the tree.

“Hmm?”

Ethan Smith raised an eyebrow.

This ancient tree has sprouted its divine sense!

One should know that for an ancient tree to sprout divine sense, it would have to be at least tens of thousands of years old. Yet this Qingling Tree's sense has grown significantly and even started to have its consciousness!

“Where does this ancient tree… come from?” Ethan Smith exclaimed.

Uncle Kortez was even more proud, saying, “This tree comes from a mysterious area, as recorded in the ancient books of our Nebula Family. I haven't looked in detail, but it is said that the Qingling Tree comes from the fairyland, created by the heavens as a gift. It is incredibly beneficial to cultivation.”

Ethan Smith remained silent.

Indeed, the Qingling Tree was very mysterious. With this tree alone, it could support an aristocratic family, maybe even more than one, as it constantly emits qi.

“Our Nebula clansmen brought back three of these trees from that mysterious area, and after bringing back these trees, they passed away.” Uncle Kortez said, sounding sentimental.

Ethan Smith, surprised, asked, “You have three Qingling Trees in the Nebula Family?”

Uncle Kortez nodded, responded solemnly, “Yes, our Nebula Family does indeed have three Qingling Trees. Besides this one here in the training field, there are two others located in the forbidden areas of the Nebula Family. These three Qingling Trees, brought back from the mysterious area by our prdecessors, are our family's crucial resources for cultivation.”

Ethan Smith was astonished by this news. He knew the Qingling Tree was no ordinary tree; a single one alone was plenty for the Nebula Family to hold its head high among its peers. And yet, the Nebula Family possesses three Qingling Trees, this was truly incredible.

“The qi combined from three Qingling Trees forms a massive spiritual field, providing the Nebula Family with a continuous supply of nourishing qi. Under the protection of the Qingling trees, our Nebula Family's cultivators can break through realms and elevate their strength more quickly.”

As Uncle Kortez said this, his chest swelled with even more pride.

Ethan Smith was a little astonished.

This Qingling Tree, even in the cultivation world, was a rare possession, and yet, the Nebula Family's ancestors managed to bring back three from this so-called “mysterious area”. This suggested the extraordinary origins of this mysterious area.

“What star or what continent is the Nebula Family from?” Ethan Smith asked.

Uncle Kortez responded with a smile, “The Nebula Family is from the Corona Continent, a mysterious continent located at the edge of the universe. The Corona Continent is rich in cultivation resources and has abundant qi suitable for cultivation. The Nebula Family has thrived on the Corona Continent since ancient times. Over generations of cultivation, we have accumulated abundant wealth and resources.”

Ethan Smith frowned slightly, he was not familiar with the Corona Continent, but having such rich cultivation resources indicated the significant position of the Nebula Family in the cultivation world.

Yet, the strength of the Nebula Family did not seem as great as he had imagined.

He did not know whether it was due to a lack of wisdom or subpar talent.

“How is the location of Corona Continent in the universe?” Ethan Smith continued to ask.

Uncle Kortez contemplated, then replied, “The Corona Continent is situated in the peripheral star field, far from the central region of the mainstream universe. It's a relatively secluded continent without too much interference or conflict. This has allowed the Nebula Family to cultivate and develop independently over time.”

Ethan Smith did not say anything, but he quietly remembered the name of the Corona Continent.

One day, if he had the chance, he might explore it.

Soon after, Ethan Smith looked at Jago Nebula and Mabel Nebula, who were still cultivating under the ancient tree.

These two were absorbing qi like a hungry, thirsty man gulping water. The excessive qi even burdened their bodies. Around them swirled a strange, misty qi.

Seeing this, Ethan Smith realized why the Nebula Family had fallen.

He shook his head and said, “Uncle Kortez, your Nebula Family's cultivation methods have strayed from the right path.”
