Chapter 53: The Spirit Tree Council

In the core area of the spirit trees, Lynn carefully crushed the special spirit tree fruits, extracted the spirit tree energy contained in them, and applied it to the damaged spirit tree research notes of his family. As the spirit tree energy merged in, the originally blurred characters on the notes gradually became clear. Everyone gathered around, full of anticipation that they could find the key clues to saving the spirit trees from these characters.

 

However, when the content of the notes was fully revealed, everyone found a thorny problem. Many crucial parts of the notes seemed to be missing. The characters in some paragraphs were interrupted, and some of the patterns were also incomplete. Lynn frowned, and an anxious and helpless expression appeared on his face. "How could this be... These missing parts are likely to contain important clues about the remaining will of the spirit trees and the key information to combat the 'Dark Erosion'."

 

Kyle patted Lynn on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry. Since the notes led us here, there must be a way to find the missing content. You have a wide network of contacts in this star domain. Is there any place where we can get more information?" Lynn thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "I've got it! We can go to the 'Spirit Tree Council' and ask the elders for help. The 'Spirit Tree Council' brings together the wisest and most experienced elders of the Lingyao Clan. They may be able to interpret the missing parts of the notes and might also know other secrets related to the spirit trees."

 

After discussion, everyone decided to follow Lynn to the "Spirit Tree Council". When they left the core area of the spirit trees, everyone looked back at the place severely eroded by the "Dark Erosion" again, their hearts filled with worry and determination. They knew very well that the task of saving the spirit trees was arduous, but with each step forward, they were one step closer to hope.

 

Along the way, Lynn introduced the situation of the "Spirit Tree Council" to everyone. "The 'Spirit Tree Council' is located deep in the core of the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain and is the core organization of our Lingyao Clan for guarding the spirit trees. The elders there are responsible for major decisions. They know the spirit trees far better than ordinary people and also have a rich collection of books and ancient records. Maybe they can help us solve the mystery of the notes." Lynn's words were full of trust and expectation for the "Spirit Tree Council".

 

As they gradually approached the location of the "Spirit Tree Council", the surrounding environment also changed. The originally oppressive atmosphere shrouded in the "Dark Erosion" aura gradually dissipated, replaced by a peaceful and mysterious atmosphere. The multicolored lights became bright again, and a faint fragrance of flowers filled the air, as if this was a pure land that had not been invaded by the "Dark Erosion".

 

When the hall of the "Spirit Tree Council" appeared in front of everyone, they were all shocked by the scene. The hall was naturally formed by the intertwined growth of the branches of the spirit trees, emitting a soft and mysterious light. The walls of the hall were engraved with ancient runes and patterns, recording the long history of the symbiosis between the Lingyao Clan and the Colorful Spirit Trees. The gates of the hall were tightly closed, and on both sides of the gate, there was a huge spirit tree statue, which was like a loyal guard, protecting the secrets of the "Spirit Tree Council".

 

Lynn stepped forward and knocked on the gate a few times, making a specific rhythm. After a while, the gate slowly opened, and an elder of the Lingyao Clan dressed in a golden robe appeared in front of everyone. The elder had deep eyes, and his eyes were filled with wisdom and majesty. He was the Grand Elder Xingyao of the "Spirit Tree Council".

 

"Lynn, you're back," the voice of Grand Elder Xingyao was low and gentle, with the charm of the precipitation of time. His gaze swept over Kyle and the others, and a trace of curiosity and doubt flashed in his eyes.

 

Lynn quickly saluted the Grand Elder and said respectfully, "Grand Elder, I've brought some friends from other star domains. We found some important clues in the core area of the spirit trees, but we encountered difficulties and came to ask you and the other elders for help." As he spoke, Lynn handed the repaired spirit tree research notes to the Grand Elder.

 

Grand Elder Xingyao took the notes and examined them carefully. His brows furrowed and then relaxed from time to time, and his expression changed with the content of the notes. After reading the notes, the Grand Elder raised his head and looked at Kyle and the others, saying, "Come with me. This matter is of great importance and requires discussion with the other elders."

 

Everyone followed the Grand Elder into the hall. The interior of the hall was spacious and bright. The ground was paved with colorful spirit tree crystals, and with every step, it seemed that one could feel the pulsation of the spirit trees. In the center of the hall, there was a huge Heart of the Spirit Tree, which emitted a powerful energy and was the core medium for decision-making and communication in the "Spirit Tree Council". At this time, the other elders were already waiting in the hall. They were Second Elder Yinglan, Third Elder Lingfeng, and Fourth Elder Huiyan.

 

Lynn, Kyle, and the others saluted each of the elders one by one. Second Elder Yinglan had sharp eyes. She was dressed in a black robe and wore a Spirit Tree Blade at her waist, giving people a cold and stern feeling; Third Elder Lingfeng had an amiable face. His green robe fluttered in the wind, and he held a Spirit Tree Horn in his hand, exuding a gentle aura; Fourth Elder Huiyan was burly in stature. His fiery red armor stood out in the hall, and his eyes revealed a burning fighting spirit.

 

Grand Elder Xingyao introduced the origins of Kyle and the others and their discoveries in the core area of the spirit trees to the other elders. After hearing this, the elders all fell into deep thought. After a moment, Third Elder Lingfeng spoke, "Judging from the content of the notes, the clues about the remaining will of the spirit trees are crucial. It's just these missing parts... Maybe we can look for relevant records in the library of the 'Spirit Tree Council'."

 

Fourth Elder Huiyan then said loudly, "Anyway, since these friends have come to save the spirit trees, we should definitely do our best to help them!" His words were full of enthusiasm and generosity.

 

Second Elder Yinglan nodded slightly and added, "However, we can't take it lightly either. The power of the 'Dark Erosion' is becoming more and more rampant in this star domain. Maybe they have already detected these clues and will try to stop us."

 

During the discussion among the elders, Kyle and the others stood quietly by the side, feeling the solemnity and mystery of the "Spirit Tree Council". Elsa couldn't help but exclaim, "Everything here is closely related to the spirit trees. Presumably, the elders must know many unknown secrets."

 

Cavin pushed his glasses and said, "Yes, I hope we can get enough information from the elders to solve the mystery of the remaining will of the spirit trees."

 

Morgan was a bit impatient and said, "I really want to find the missing clues quickly and then have a big fight with the 'Dark Erosion'!"

 

Alicia remained calm. She observed the expressions and actions of the elders and secretly thought about the countermeasures in her heart.

 

After the discussion, Grand Elder Xingyao said to Kyle and the others, "Dear friends, you've been on a long journey. First, settle down in the 'Spirit Tree Council' and have a good rest. We will arrange for people to search the library for relevant materials as soon as possible to see if we can interpret the missing parts of the notes."

 

Lynn said gratefully, "Thank you, Grand Elder, and thank you, all the elders."

 

Led by Lynn, Kyle and the others came to the rest area arranged for them by the "Spirit Tree Council". The environment here was quiet and secluded, and the rooms were arranged warmly and comfortably. Outside the window was a beautiful spirit tree garden. The colorful flowers swayed gently in the breeze, exuding a fragrant aroma.

 

After washing up, everyone sat in the garden and enjoyed the rare tranquility. Kyle looked at the sky, his mind full of thoughts. "Since coming to this star domain, we've experienced a lot. Every step has been full of challenges. But I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely find a way to save the spirit trees."

 

Elsa smiled and said, "That's right. Ever since we met Lynn, everything has been developing in a good direction. And the elders of the 'Spirit Tree Council' support us so much. We can't give up."

 

Morgan lay on the grass and stretched. "Hehe, after resting well, we'll have a big fight! I can't wait to see the day when the 'Dark Erosion' is completely defeated."

 

Cavin took out some magical tools and began to organize the energy data collected in the core area of the spirit trees before, hoping to find new clues from it. Alicia stood aside and silently protected everyone. She knew very well that in this mysterious star domain, danger could strike at any time.

 

As night fell, the "Spirit Tree Council" was enveloped in a soft light.
