While walking through the tall trees with greeny leaves, it was thick that sun light casted rays of lights that went through the small gaps between some leaves, making a very beautiful sight of nature.
While walking, Austin admired the beauty of nature in front of him. He thought about what Ingrid said when he told her to train with his wives.
She said that her power could go out of control while training it, especially the power of the dragon sealed inside her, and that may harm his wives, so she decided to train alone.
Austin took her to a training ground he made behind the mansion, he surrounded it with several strong barriers to not make her power destroy everything around as the fire she emitted was so dangerous.
Although the training ground won't be affected as it was so strong, but the nature around may be harmed, so he put those barriers and seals on it. He of course gave her a training program to make her body stronger so she could take on this power insider her, she wanted to fully control the power of the dragon sealed inside her, but that would do a very dangerous side effect which would be that her soul would be consumed as an exchange.
But he had a way to prevent it, which was that he would help her assimilate the dragon soul to her soul, making his powers hers without any side effects, but it might be dangerous so Austin delayed it after his training. After all something on the soul level wasn't of Austin's field of expert. He still need training.
Anyway, he continued his way until he reached the tree of life which was the biggest and tallest yet oldest tree in this forest. This tree exists inside his soul and it's nurturing it making it stronger little by little, it wasn't a world tree but a tree of life, it had no consciousness, so it can't talk or communicate with Austin.
This was the thing that he said due to Leona inhabiting his soul, it made it stronger, it was because of the existence of the tree of life which he didn't understand how it existed in his soul.
Did it came with Leona when she first assimilated to his soul and became his inner dimension or did it existed since the beginning, even before he met Freya.
May be this is the reason why Freya appeared in front of him and gave him all this power. Many questions were lingering in his mind that he needed answers to it, and one of them would be answered now.
"Tell me, Leona."
Leona appeared beside him wearing tight t-shirt that revealed her sexy belly button and emphasized her massive breasts, along with short jeans emphasizing her wide hips and hot sexy ass and revealing her thighs, her feet were bare while her blonde hair was tied in a ponytail while big round silver earrings adorned her ears giving her a very sexy and alluring aura.
"Yes, darling. Ask me anything."
Austin smiled at his lovely tanned skinned wife before continuing.
"This tree of life," he said while looking at the gigantic tree in front of him.
"Did it exist when you inhibited my soul or did it exist before you even come here?"
Leona looked at the tree, then tried to remember the first time she met Austin.
She found that her existence changed and rather than becoming a weapon like a sword or a scabbard, she became an entire dimension that existed inside Austin, only after Austin made that connection between her and him and linked both of them together, that that dimension became connected to his soul fully.
But then this tree of life in front of her, she remember seeing it when she came, it didn't exist with her, rather it was here before she even met Austin. It manifested itself in the dimension after she inhibited his soul, showing herself and making the dimension stronger and filled with pure energy.
Austin waited for her answer patiently while looking at the tree intently, feeling something attracting him to her, but then Leona's voice snapped him out of his state.
"Darling, this tree, it didn't come with me when I met you, this entire forest didn't come with me either it's created by this tree as I can see how it can pump life energy to make them like that."
"So this Tree of Life existed within me even before you met me, huh."
"Yes. I remember, when I inhibited you, I saw this tree inside your soul, although the shape wasn't like this but the same pure energy coming out of her is a proof of it, and then it manifested itself within me creating a huge forest, but it's core is still within you, within your soul, at the deepest part, I guess.
This is just a projection of it, the true form of it is still deep within your soul."
"Then I just need to search deep within my soul about its core to know what it is. This tree, may be is not the tree of life, and I didn't meet any world tree and feel its energy before, so I can't say it's a world tree either."
"It's pumping energy to your soul continuously nourishing it and making it stronger, although it's slow paced that it made you unable to feel it, but I can feel it, the energy it's feeding to your soul." Leona said with her eyes glowing while looking at the tree in front of her.
"I only assumed it was a Tree of Life due to the life energy I was feeling but now, I can hardly guess what it is after what you said."
Austin sighed and decided to put the matter at the back of his mind for the time being as he knew that everything would be revealed eventually once he got his soul stronger to roam his soul and go to the deepest part of it.
He didn't want to ask Freya, because she wouldn't tell him and would just act like a bitch changing the subject eventually.
'Haaah, so many things to do. But now, I need to focus on my soul and train my soul energy, besides, this tree is beneficial to me, so I don't mind it's existence.I for some reason feel comfortable everytime I'm close to it.'
"Then, I count on you my dear on observing my girls and their training."
"I'm all for it my darling~"
He smiled to her lovingly, before he sat crosslegged beside the tree and then closed his eyes and started to meditate.
"...****##""He***he**#...."
Suddenly, the world turned grey and a figure appeared in front of Austin, who was closing his eyes, and said incomprehensible words that seemed like it was giggling, but he was in a deep state of mediation that he didn't hear it.
The figure was featureless and its voice was unrecognizable. It was consisting of light green light that was flickering with gold from time to time, then suddenly the figure disappeared and world turned back to its state.
