Chapter 12 - The Wise Sage

As Liang stood before the grand tree, basking in the aftermath of his transformative experience, he noticed a figure approaching him from the shadows. The old man's white hair cascaded down to his shoulders, and his long beard flowed with the wisdom of age. He wore robes that seemed to shimmer with an otherworldly aura, and his eyes held a depth of knowledge that transcended time.

Liang's heart quickened with anticipation as the old man drew near, his presence exuding an air of tranquility and reverence.

The grand tree seemed to acknowledge his arrival, as if welcoming a kindred spirit.

The old man's gaze met Liang's, and a gentle smile graced his lips. "Young seeker, you have journeyed far and endured great trials. The grand tree has bestowed its blessing upon you, and you have been reborn with its energy."

..

Liang bowed respectfully.

..

"Honorable sage, I am humbled by this sacred experience. The grand tree has shown me great wisdom and power."

The sage nodded, his eyes filled with warmth.

"The Spiritwood realm is a place of profound secrets, and those who enter with an open heart may gain enlightenment beyond imagination. You have embraced the tree's energy and emerged transformed. Your journey has just begun."

As Liang was listening to everything that elder is saying he was filled with curiosity about the Identity of the Elder.

Curiosity mingled with awe, and Liang couldn't help but ask, "Who are you, venerable sage? What brings you to this sacred realm?"

The sage smiled warmly. "I am known as Elder Yunshan. I have dwelt within the Vendura Wilds for centuries, a guardian of this ancient realm and its wisdom. The grand tree is Somthing that I got when I was Exploring a Ancient Ruins it has it own sets of rules and I just share a symbiotic relationship—its existence nourishes me and in turn."

Liang felt a sense of deep respect and admiration for Elder Yunshan. It was as if destiny had led him to this revered sage, a master whose very presence seemed to emanate harmony and enlightenment.

"Your journey is not over, young one," Elder Yunshan said, his voice tinged with gentle authority. "The path of enlightenment is long and filled with challenges, but you now possess the keys to unlocking the secrets of the natural world."

Eager to learn more, Liang asked, "What more must I do, venerable Elder? How can I further attune myself to the grand tree's wisdom?"

The sage's eyes twinkled with a knowing gleam. "There is no single answer to that question, for each seeker's path is unique. Embrace the teachings of the Spiritwood realm and let its energy guide you. Cultivate your connection with nature, for it is the wellspring of profound insight and harmony."

He continued, "Be mindful of the balance between power and compassion, strength and humility. Nature's wisdom teaches us that true mastery lies not in dominion over others, but in understanding the interdependence of all living beings."

Liang nodded, absorbing the sage's words with deep reverence. Each sentence seemed to resonate with the teachings he had received from the grand tree.

"As you continue your journey, remember to listen to the whispers of the wind, the murmurs of the river, and the wisdom of the ancient trees," Elder Yunshan advised. "Nature speaks to those who are willing to listen, and its guidance is a boundless source of enlightenment."

With a sense of profound gratitude, Liang thanked Elder Yunshan for his wisdom and guidance. The sage smiled warmly and placed a gentle hand on Liang's shoulder. "You are destined for greatness, young one. May the grand tree's blessings guide you on your path."

As the Elder finished Speaking a Dazzling light emerges from the giant tree and it slowly it gets closer to Liang and as his body was out of his control he Immediately reached out his hand towards the light and it slowly melted and entered into his Spiritual Space and as it entered into his mind he felt a soul tearing pain and a lot of Information implanted into his mind on his own.

He felt like he was on the edge of death and when the information fully stored into his mind he could see that there's a lot of new information that he had never heard of anything regarding them or have any clue that such thing can even exists.

He gave a rough glance to every content that has been implanted into his mind and came to know of some thing like Cultivation manual, Refinement Technique, Array Formation, Pills refinement technique and many more.

As Liang gave a rough glance to everything, the elder Yunshan was still in awe as he never have thought that he would see such a thing.

As it to be noted that Elder Yunshan had this tree planted in this Spirit realm for countless years yet he had never seen something like this.

As he was been amazed he suddenly saw something written in the sky.

He tries to look at the letters and try to understand what was actually happening.

But no matter how hard he tries or which method he use he could only see that there were some ancient characters written in the sky but he couldn't see them clearly or understand any letters written above.

At that time Liang has also already go through all the memories or information that he got as he emerge from his meditation he saw Elder Yunshan was looking into the sky so he follow through his line of sight and he also see the ancient characters.

But here as Elder Yunshan was unable to deprive anything from the character he was different as he saw the characters he had a familiarity as he had already saw the letters in the information he got from the ancient tree.

So, Liang immediately sat cross legged and try to learn the new set of characters he got from the Ancient tree.

After Few breath later Liang was finally able to learn some characters and as his mind has just been reborn he quickly deduced that he will be able to understand the set of characters.
