Chapter 1276: The Peculiarity In The Pure Spirit Tower (1)

The pain went straight to her nerves and spread throughout her body.

Shen Yanxiao frowned, feeling an indescribable discomfort.

A gray mist flowed out from Shen Yanxiao’s chest and condensed into a human form before her eyes.

Shen Yanxiao trembled. Xiu suddenly stretched out his arm and pulled the trembling little girl into his embrace.

“Don’t absorb the energy here.” Xiu’s voice sounded in Shen Yanxiao’s ears.

“Xiu, it hurts.” Shen Yanxiao gritted her teeth and cut off the connection between her source of life and the outside world according to Xiu’s words. However, she could not stop the life force that surged in.

The pain was slightly relieved, but it was still bone-chilling.

Xiu frowned and narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, a faint light shrouded them.

“The energy here is strange.” Xiu tightly held Shen Yanxiao in his arms and carefully poured his energy into her body to dispel the life force that continuously attacked her.

The little girl in his arms finally stopped trembling, and Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

“What exactly is going on here? I’ve never encountered such a situation before.” Shen Yanxiao’s expression finally turned for the better. The life force on the fifth floor was completely different from the first four floors. If she did not wish to continue with her training, she only needed to shut off her source of life. However, even if she did that, the life force lingering in the Pure Spirit Tower would still flow into her body.

Shen Yanxiao felt extremely uncomfortable with the energy that had a mind of its own.

“I am not sure yet, but the life force here is indeed much denser than before. According to common sense, this amount of energy should not cause you any pain.” Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the faint mist around them. He had set up a barrier around them to prevent the life force from pouring in.

The energy here was too strange. Shen Yanxiao could endure pain, but here she was crying out in pain.

One could only imagine how much pain she was enduring.

Every single Pure Spirit Tower was stable by using a thick tree trunk that grew all the way up from the ground to the top of the tower as a foundaton. On the first four floors, only the bare trunk could be seen, but in the middle of the fifth floor, branches could be seen extending outwards. Tender green leaves could be seen dotting the branches.

Through the fog, that little bit of green was very conspicuous.

“If you want to know the reason, you have to check these tree branches.” Xiu whispered.

Shen Yanxiao nodded. When she entered the Pure Spirit Tower, she noticed the tree trunk in the center of the tower. Qie Er only mentioned that the tree was transplanted from the Tree of Life, so the life force radiating from it was thicker than anywhere else.

Shen Yanxiao had the same thought previously. However, when she stepped into the fifth floor of the Pure Spirit Tower, she felt that things were not that simple.

Even though she had never seen a real Tree of Life, if the trees in the Pure Spirit Tower were only branches of the Tree of Life, then their strength would not be so terrifying.

The energy here was already very dense, and it was just only the fifth level. If they were to enter the seventh level, how powerful would the energy be?

Was this really just a branch of the Tree of Life?

Shen Yanxiao thought that even if she were to enter Moons.h.i.+ne City, the intensity of the life force there would only be similar to the first few floors of the Pure Spirit Tower.
