Tian Long's jaws dropped when he saw the image in front of him.

He could see a massive mountain around 1 kilometer high. The mountain looked majestic and overbearing as if it could support and destroy both the heaven and earth at the same time.

Besides that, Tian Long could also see a majestic, awe-inspiring ash tree around 50 meters tall, it also has a body that was around 2 meters thick. Its branches were exceptionally long and thick, it was as if they could extend endlessly. The roots were also thick and coiled within the earth as if they were dragons hiding beneath the ground.

Tian Long was in a daze because he knew that this tree was only 5 meters tall the last time he came here so he couldn't help but be in shock as it suddenly grew up to 50 meters high after the {Universal Body Origin Technique} leveled up.

'At Level 4 of the technique would the tree increase its size to 100 meters? or 200 meters even?' He thought as his heart started to beat rapidly.

"System check the tree's status page."

{World Tree} - Adolescent stage

Cultivation: King Realm Level 3

Description: The world tree of Tian Long's world, it is still currently still in its adolescent stage. World Trees are a very unique type of existence that was born alongside the birth of the world. Such trees in the Boundless Heaven World could only be counted in one hand. The tree absorbs heavenly energy on the outside world to increase its growth, and with the world tree within the host's world, the host can enjoy a near limitless energy reserve. Once the tree matures it is able to bear magical fruits which contain random benefits that are useful to whoever eats it. The world tree will always have the same cultivation as the host.

Tian Long was overjoyed as he finally found out the identity of this tree. "So this is a world tree huh. A very unique type of existence that was born alongside the birth of its world." He muttered as he touched its body with his hand.

The World Tree responded by emitting a gentle golden light which passed through from Tian Long's hand, into his arm and then throughout his body. It was akin to a child welcoming back its mother and then hugging her.

He smiled as he gently patted the tree's body.

After a while, he then started looking around his world. He used his divine sense and found out that his world was now around 2-kilometer2.

(Note: I'll use kilometer2 instead of kilometer sq. so yous don't get confused.)

The sun and the moon hanging in the firmament could now be said to be way larger than before. Both the river and the lake also increased its size. More mountains and hills were formed than the last time he was here.

Tian Long muttered. "Hehe, if I could grow strong demonic beasts in this world, won't they become Apex God Beasts in the future. Looks like I should tame a few dragons and phoenixes, and others later on."

He laughed manically as he planned on taming all kinds of mythical beasts of this world.

After roaming around, appreciating his own world for half an hour, he exited his inner world and opened his eyes.

'Right now, I should walk around the city and see if I could find some potential seedlings for my sect.'

After he stood up and left the inn, a youngster around 10 or 11 years old ran into him and fell down. The kid had a pale face and ragged clothes as if he was a beggar on the streets. However, even those couldn't hide his shining eyes, full of unwavering will to not succumb to his fate.

Tian Long thought to himself. 'Well I'll be damned, is this a candidate for my first disciple?' After thinking that he checked the kid's status page.

Tian Long was stunned for a moment when he saw the kid's status page. He then laughed as he muttered to himself. "Indeed he's Jian Meili's brother alright, such a monstrous innate talent and physique, he also has 10 points for Will. I guess tempering herself isn't the only reason that she was out of the Transcendent Divine Continent. It seems that she was trying to find this little brother of hers."

He then looked at the kid and said. "Hey, boy, you're Jian Meili's brother, right? Call me brother-in-law, since I'm your sister's future husband."

Jian Chen was confused at first that Tian Long called him but then his eyes gleamed when he heard what he said. He replied with a hoarse yet curious voice. "How do you know that my sister is Jian Meili?"

Tian Long looked at the kid with a smile on his face. "I told you that I'm your sister's boyfriend and soon-to-be husband. Anyway, come join my sect and in the future, I'll take you back to Sublime Sword Empire."

Jian Chen asked. "Hmm, what's the name of your sect then?"

Tian Long smirked and replied. "I sure am glad you asked. Welcome to the Eternal Glory Sect, the greatest sect to ever exist! You're my first disciple so rejoice as I will take you to the apex of this world."

Jian Chen pouted and thought. 'When did I agree to join your sect? But whatever, he doesn't seem like a bad guy and he looks pretty strong.'

Don't be fooled by Jian Chen's young age. Even though he's still a kid, he's very intelligent and cautious towards strangers. That's why he was able to survive till today all alone.

Tian Long nodded his head and said. "Alright, as my first disciple we can't have you going around looking like that, let's get you cleaned up in the inn." After saying that he took the kid to the shower and had him bathe himself.

While Jian Chen was cleaning himself up, Tian Long smirked as he muttered to himself. "Aiya, Jian Meili, it seems that I already found a reason for 'fate' to make us meet again.'

Obviously Tian Long wasn't just someone that would fall in love with anyone. However, he could honestly feel a spark between him and Jian Meili and felt that he was liking her more and more when they spent their time together in the Lonely Devilwood Forest. Obviously, he wasn't madly in love with her yet but he believed that if they spent more time with each other, it was but a matter of time. Making Jian Chen call him brother-in-law was just to tease Jian Meili in the future when they meet again.

"Liking someone can only take a single glance but loving someone for a lifetime is built by spending more time together." Tian Long said.

After half an hour of scrubbing and washing, Jian Chen finally came out of the shower. Tian Long clicked his tongue when he saw a different looking kid than the one that bumped into him earlier.

He had a beautiful child-like face and white, snow-like skin. Along with his sharp yet lovable looking eyes, he looked absolutely adorable. When he grows up he would definitely be one of the most good-looking men in the world.

Tian Long nodded his head and said. "Indeed, the brother of Jian Meili. Just by the faces of you both, I could already tell that you and your sister are related."

Jian Chen was shocked as he asked. "What? You already saw my sister's real face? How is that possible? She's never let anyone see her face except her family!"

Tian Long was surprised for a moment but then he smirked. "As I said to you, I'm your sister's boyfriend and soon-to-be husband so you should call me brother-in-law. Also, there's no need to be surprised, if I said that I was the second most good-looking man in this world then none would dare to claim to be first."

(Note: Basically, he's saying that he's the most handsome person in the world...)

Jian Chen rolled his eyes and replied. "Cheh, you're full of yourself. If you're so handsome then why would you cover your face with that mask."

Tian Long shook his head and said in a fake lamenting tone. "Aii, this brother of yours is too handsome that it would lead to troublesome situations so of course, I cover my face."

Jian Chen asked with a face full of curiosity. "Well since we're 'family' then you can show me your face right?"

Tian Long thought for a moment then nodded. "Hmm, you're right, since you're my first disciple then you do need to see my real face."

After saying that he reached his hand towards his face, intending to remove the mask.

Jian Chen's jaw dropped when he saw that seemingly perfect face hiding beneath the masquerade-looking mask.
