While Wang Zong'an was startled and confused, the voice rang again in his ear.
"Boy, what are you stunned about? Haven't you ever seen a talking tree before? Although I don't enjoy conversation, it doesn't mean I can't talk. I've used my Divine Sense to create a private space, feel free to ask anything you want, nobody else can hear."
These words exploded like a thunderbolt.
Wang Zong'an came to his senses in a daze and cautiously asked, "Are, are you the Elder Longevity Tree?"
"Indeed, I am the Sacred Tree of Changchun Valley - the Longevity Tree." The somewhat old voice carried a hint of pride, "I have spent thousands of years here, witnessing and protecting countless generations of disciples from Changchun Valley."
