[Tree] Chapter 531: Speaking with her Father

Tiberius, the Celestial Warden and overseer of the Eternal Pursuit Pavilion just outside Desolark City, frowned as the long-range communication array built into his desk demanded his attention."What's happened now?" he mused, checking the sender. His eyes widened.A Sage Advisor from the ...

[Tree] Chapter 530: Fall of the Frozen Star

Stella flew through the dragon-sized tunnels of the palace toward the surface, hoping to run into Grand Elder Hanxu on the way, as she assumed the corpse-like man hadn't made it that far—but as she reached the final level below the surface, the whole building suddenly trembled violently—the ...

[Tree] Chapter 529: Frozen Vault

"Is this Ao Lingxuan's vault?" Stella asked the corpse-like Grand Elder beside her as they stood before a massive obsidian ice door in the basement of the dragon's palace. It softly glowed from the many protective formations embedded in the door and the surrounding walls."Yes,&#3...

[Tree] Chapter 528: Betting One's Soul

One moment, Jasmine had been eye-to-eye with an ancient ice dragon and lost consciousness; the next, she had stirred awake in an ice cavern on a stage surrounded by hundreds of cultivators. Initially mistaking the situation for them being captured by a cult, she was soon assured by Stella that it wa...

[Tree] Chapter 527: High Stakes

"I concede," Ao Lingxuan uttered words he had never once said in his many years of life. Not when he fought tooth and nail in the chasm, nor as the head of one of the most powerful sects on this layer of creation. Worst of all was the person, the demon, to whom these words were uttered.Zephy...

[Tree] Chapter 526: Rich Girl

"Ah," Stella held out her hand and caught a red snowflake. "It was over so soon.""Stella!" Janus yelled from above. "What have you done?!"It had only been a minute or so since Stella freed herself from the invisible line and let her anger loose on the fools of the Fro...

[Tree] Chapter 525: Thanatos

Ashlock wasn't a single tree on a mountain peak but rather the head of a vast forest of interconnected minds. He shared his knowledge of the world and granted use of his passive skills to his offspring, and they did the same for him.However, just like how his offspring couldn't use his skill...

[Tree] Chapter 524: Death Sentence

"Thane, what is in your shadow?" Faelorian asked while hesitantly stepping back. Bright green nature Qi, so perfectly refined that it radiated off Faelorian like an aurora flare, wreathed him in a protective aura. All of the vines around him were tensed and ready to strike at the slightest m...

[Tree] Chapter 523: Lurking Shadow

Ashlock was impressed by Thane's deductions and smooth talking as he watched his actions through Anubis, hiding in his shadow. Firstly, it seemed the man had figured out his plan to kill the Monarchs of the Celestial Empire through his mutterings, and he had to admit that the fabricated lie abou...

[Tree] Chapter 522: Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Ashlock was looking down at an unassuming mountain. To both the trained and untrained eye, there was absolutely nothing special about it. Just a plain old gray rocky mountain of average height, no snow, and surrounded by a regular forest. There was absolutely no reason for anyone to be out here, as ...

[Tree] Chapter 521: Riftwalker

"Sis, have you... grown since I last saw you?" Janus said, looking her up and down with a mix of confusion and surprise. "You look older than I was expecting."Stella opened her mouth to respond but found her lip quivering as she studied his kind-looking face. He was handsome, as expe...

[Tree] Chapter 520: Art of Cruelty

"Who is Ao Lingxuan?" Stella hissed through clenched teeth as a sudden cold gripped her body, seeping into her bones. She had many theories as to the dragon's identity. Was it Ilyzathar's child? While the dragon seemed ancient, it had been a long time since then. It could also be the...

[Tree] Chapter 519: Volcano of Ice

Stella shepherded Zephyrine out of Tiberius's office as soon as possible, partly because Tiberius seemed about to faint from stress, but also because, frankly, she didn't trust the man. He was the leader of an information guild that had originated from the Celestial Empire, and for the right...

[Tree] Chapter 518: Ice Bone

Tiberius, the Celestial Warden of the Eternal Pursuit Pavilion, could barely contain his laughter as a grumpy-looking Stella trudged into his office."Let me guess, you didn't enjoy the dramatic welcome you received?" he mused while gesturing for her to take a seat opposite him.Stella huf...

[Tree] Chapter 517: Humble Beginnings

Stella patiently waited before the Ashfallen Castle, the centerpiece of Desolark City. To cement the Ashfallen Sect's might after the utter defeat of the Nightrose family, the previous castle, which had taken up a third of the city, was destroyed. The ground was dug up to remove all the ancient ...

[Tree] Chapter 516: Fleshfruit Tree

Stella hadn't seen the sun in what felt like a week—though it was hard to notice the passing of time in her alchemy cave, where there was no natural sunlight. Not that she was too bothered by it, as she had been thoroughly absorbed in her work and wasn't ashamed to admit she was hiding fro...

[Tree] Chapter 515: Nest of Rats

Thane thought the years spent living alone in the monster-infested wilderness had hardened him as a person—yet nothing could have prepared him for how casually Councilman Cyphion massacred so many people. It wasn't the coldness in his eyes as he went about it or his disregard for human life th...

[Tree] Chapter 514: A Silent Admirer

Ashlock had been enjoying a relatively peaceful morning when a rather frustrated Elaine landed on Red Vine Peak. Little Talon was clinging to her back like a koala, looking around sleepily with his void-black eyes. Hazel was missing, likely off at work with her dad or playing with Jasmine somewhere ...

Beside book 7 coming out today on Amazon, I have something else to share...Ashlock vs Ig'Zal featured in Book 8s cover :DThis is definitly one of my favourites for sure, it turned out better than I could have imagined. Also, some might notice the yin yan composition going on here. Though, when y...

Book 7 launch

Yo yo yo! It's that TIME AGAIN! It's been like five months since a Tree book dropped on Amazon. Crazy how time flies. Anyway, I need everyones help again but this time more than usual. Amazon is fucked right now. Like, authors can't even access their earnings dashboard, and ranks aren&#3...

[Tree] Chapter 513: Encroaching Desolation

Thane awoke to the ringing of bells. Not the pleasant wind chimes synonymous with the month-long festivals of Floridawn—these were loud, bone-rattling clangs that echoed throughout the entire city as if heralding the fall of the sky. Such a heavy, metallic sound was rare in Floridawn, a place inte...

[Tree] Chapter 512: Celestial War (Start of Book 9)

Empyrea, Capital City of the Celestial Empire.The Chairman of the Celestial Empire frowned as he withdrew his finger from a small hole in the World Tree—it was stained with a black sap that turned into a miasma upon contact with the air. The Chairman used his Monarch Realm soul pressure to freeze ...

[Tree] Chapter 511: Invasion (End of Book 8)

[Notice: Elaine, Khaos, undefined, and undefined have exited the Eternal Realm]Ashlock barely had time to inform Stella of the news before his vision blurred, and he looked within his Inner World at the exit of the Eternal Realm. His anticipation could barely be contained. Just how strong had she be...

[Tree] Chapter 510: Spreading the Curse

Stella massaged her skull as a headache brewed after sending out the last of her parchments and writing out her advice to the elite disciples. It had been a long few weeks, with today being the worst yet, marked by unrelenting coordinated attacks from the disciples, forcing her to remain on her guar...

[Tree] Chapter 509: A Cruel Lesson

Stella fled the lecture hall through the portal, enraged at herself.You idiot! What is wrong with you? she berated herself as she emerged into a forest deep in the wilderness. You had so many lesson ideas, why did you fold under the pressure of all their expectant gazes and come up with this ludicro...

[Tree] Chapter 508: Class Begins

Staring down the abyssal throat of a shadowy being, Jasmine could only freeze in place. Its maw slowly widened to engulf her in its darkness."What the hell are you freezing up for, you idiot!" Sam shouted as he punched the monster in the side of the head—his fist wreathed in earth Qi. His ...

[Tree] Chapter 507: Returning Home

After a long and well-needed hug, the two friends separated."I'll get going now," Diana said, giving her a sad smile. "Sect duty calls, and I've got to cover for Elaine and Douglas now that they are in the Eternal Realm.""I could help?" Stella offered.Diana brightened...

[Tree] Chapter 506: Worthless Power

Stella was glad to finally have a leash around Morrigan. The effectiveness of heavenly oaths on Origins was dubious at best, especially on the Origin of the Void, and ever since they met, Stella hadn't been able to decipher this woman's true intentions.Was she friend or foe?However, now that...

[Tree] Chapter 505: Covenant

Morrigan had faced the scorching soul flames of reincarnation an unfathomable number of times and endured the experience of having her memories, knowledge, love, and pain stripped from her. For regular souls, the torturous experience wasn't remembered, but Origins never forgot. Fragments of thei...

Patch Notes Chapters 503 + 504

Alright, the last two chapters didn't quite hit the mark as I wanted them to, so I've made some extensive edits to both chapters. The number of changed lines is too many to put here, so I advise a reread of both chapters 503 and 504. I still don't think they are the best chapters ever, b...
