To explain what the old man was talking about and informing the kid of this whole hour in short phrases is not honesty that bit hard.
Moreover, almost everything he uttered this whole time was irrelevant to anyone in the human world, since no one would be able to understand its content without any knowledge about magical things that were only mentioned in kid's fairy tales that parents read to their children before they go to bed.
To summarise it in a few words, the fairy-like land he was currently inside was called a blessed land but not quite the same as the typical blessed lands that exist across the world.
This one was a bit odd since it wasn't created by a human being or any other race in existence but in fact, it was naturally manifested in the wilderness.
After thousands of years of being empty and dark, appearing like a creepy abyss that could not allow any light or living people to exist, a magical thing suddenly happened and a jade-like tree that was so glorious and fabulous in form took root in the middle of the empty dark land.
Soon, everything started coming to life, light shone on the dead land, grass began rapidly expanding over the entire Territory and even extremely captivating and rare flowers that no one knew existed followed right after, creating a magical-like place that many dreamed of entering.
The tree that grew to its highest point in a matter of seconds and was situated in the middle of the Mystical land was called the Miracle Tree, an existence that many dreamed of encountering in their life.
Its fruit will randomly grant cultivation techniques, martial arts, and even resources that were top-notch to anyone that got approved by it and they will quickly develop to become the strongest cultivator in their current world.
Vladimir was utterly astonished by this and didn't quite believe it at first, but he still didn't find any reason for the old man to be lying or exaggerating his words to make the tree look way more outstanding than it is supposed to be.
He also told him that he was still alive and kicking, which sprouted a lot of complicated feelings inside Vladimir's heart, but he soon suppressed all of them as he gazed at the amazing one in a lifetime opportunity in front of him.
The old man's words even carried a hint of amazement at the kid's luck but that was just it, as some people before him found this place by pure chance before, unfortunately, just stumbling upon the place isn't that big of a deal since the real test starts at that point.
Vladimir understood that much and was eager to attempt to gain recognition from the tree and be allowed to take its fruit away, hence he directly asked the old man what steps he should take for the Miracle Tree to acknowledge and allow him near her.
The old man nonchalantly responded to the kid and gave him instructions on what he should do to win over the tree recognition and be able to step on top of the world, a hint of ridicule was deeply ingrained deep down his tone.
*******
At a small-sized city that was not that far away from Abaddon's current location, with a population of hundreds of thousands of people. A garden was located in the backyard of an ancient pavilion that was between the most luxurious buildings in the city.
Everything was beautifully and perfectly put together inside the garden, from the few birds that were singing on top of the trees, to the stone walls that circulated it.
In the middle of the heaven-like garden, twin copper chairs that had a round copper table in between them gave off the perfect impression and feeling of a good tea talk to calm someone's soul.
Everyone would wish to spend a few days if not weeks in such a serene place, where no noise could be heard except for the lovely singing of the birds at day, added with the perfect looking garden, many people would pay money to have some time off from their busy and noisy daily life full of people.
At one of the chairs, a young man was sipping some wine of top-notch quality with his right hand, while the other hand was busy holding a book in a foreign language that not many people would comprehend.
At first glance, many people would think of this young man as an heir of some renowned clan that doesn't know the reality of the world, heavily nurtured and protected since young without facing the difficulties of what a regular cultivator at his age would experience.
Those assumptions, however, were only superficial statements that were mainly coming from the deep envy and hatred directed at first-grade clans and above that everyone believed that their offspring were living the best life's ever that anyone could imagine.
Over the last hour, this young man was disturbed many times during the nice time he was having reading whatever book was in his hand in this garden.
He almost lost his cool and left the city for good if not for the high-quality wine that he was being served regularly. The owner of the pavilion surely knew how to keep this young man around even though he annoyed him.
" Is there really something better in life than drinking wine and learning a martial art in this place without doing anything?"
He didn't want to move a muscle from his chair if he didn't have enough of this nice quiet time with himself and his wine.
However, the owner of this perfect place kept asking him to go out and resolve the fight that was a little far from their city, which made the young man extremely dissatisfied.
After all, could anyone really leave such a place to interfere in some ignorant cultivator's fight that didn't know better and actually waste his precious time on them?
Still, he couldn't tell the head of the clan that was hosting him to leave him alone and never bother him again, hence he kept assuring them that no damage will fall upon the city since he was in it.
The head of the clan didn't have any other options and helplessly followed the young man's words. At the end of the day, is there really anyone who would assure their safety except for the youth located in their backyard? Exactly, none existed.
" This level of fights can't match up to your Excellency's identity and unfathomable strength, so your Excellency can simply keep entertaining yourself with this wine and whenever they come into this city we will be counting on you."
After bootlicking the young man for some time a little earlier, the head clan left the garden and proceeded with his own work, totally unfazed by the Godly realm auras a few kilometers away from him.
