It turns out that this tree shrine does not worship a god in Japanese mythology or folk legends, but a real divine tree! Therefore, it is called the "Tree Shrine".

So although it is called a shrine, it does not belong to the Shinto system...

This sacred tree is the biggest secret of the tree shrine. It is hidden deep in the forbidden area and cannot be seen by outsiders. Even members of the shrine will only have two chances to see it in their lifetime!

Once when he was officially accepted as a member of the shrine, and once before his death.

Members of the Tree Shrine do not need to practice at the beginning. They only need to become formal disciples and be led by the high priest of the shrine to the forbidden area. Pick a fruit from the tree and eat it, and you will gain various abilities! Use magic of different natures.

It sounds very beautiful! It doesn’t require any hardships on the road of cultivation, no need to experience great enlightenment between life and death, just eat a fruit to gain magic power...

But in fact, things in the world are all due to good and bad fortune.

Since the members of the Tree Shrine all gain magic power by swallowing the fruits of the divine tree, their realm will remain unchanged throughout their lives. Whether it is weak or strong, it is decided at the moment when they successfully eat the fruit!

For example, after eating some shrine disciples, they will immediately become powerful people comparable to the Seven-tale True Person. According to legend, some eat the fruit of the divine tree and become powerful people who are comparable to the Heavenly Master! However, the magic power obtained after eating is equivalent to the weakest mage realm.

And it is rumored that for thousands of years, even the members of the Tree Shrine themselves have no idea what the standards and rules for obtaining mana strength are...

Of course, realm is one thing, combat power is another. Therefore, after gaining mana by swallowing the fruits of the divine tree, different people will also take different paths, and it is also possible to improve themselves through fighting and fighting.

Some people are very strong after swallowing the fruit of the sacred tree, but they live freely from now on and are not enterprising. In the end, the combat power may be worse than those who are weaker than him.

Of course, not everyone can eat the fruits of this sacred tree!

If the devouring fails, the person who tries to devour will die suddenly on the spot. The corpse will be entangled by the roots of the sacred tree like a giant python and pulled into the ground, as nutrients of the sacred tree, and renumber the new sacred tree fruits, leaving them for those who are destined to...

"Fake! This is a sacred tree, it sounds too weird. I don't think it looks like a sacred tree, but it looks like a demon tree. I'm all goosebumps."

The fat cat hugged his arms with his thick furry paws and pretended to be scared.

Fu Yang: "...Are you a fat cat afraid? I think you are excited. Don't make the idea of ​​that sacred tree. We have more important things to do. We can't make things bigger."

"I know, I know, boy Fu, you're too long-winded."

Mr. Xiong waved his hand, a little impatient: "But then again, this routine of swallowing fruits and gaining power is a bit familiar. I think about it... By the way! Isn't that anime called "One Piece" just like this? It's a bit like this. Is that the thing called the Devil Fruit?"

This fat cat was originally a playful personality and was proficient in eating, drinking and having fun. He must have watched a well-known anime like "One Piece".

That's right!

Fu Yang smiled and stroked the dog's head. Oh no, it was the cat's head. Speaking of: "When I first saw the information about the Tree Shrine, I felt that this way of obtaining mana is very similar to the devil fruit in One Piece painted by a manga named Eiichiro Oda. Although the manga is definitely much richer than the Tree Shrine in reality, and it is not exactly the same, after all, art comes from life and is higher than life."

It makes sense...

Weike next to him also smiled and nodded, and interrupted, "When I was in Nasuno Qingqiu Palace, Tamamoto talked about the source of the seven-color spiritual power of your Akatsuki Sakura. Even the novel story of "The Investiture of the Gods" was adapted from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Some Japanese cartoonists know some things about the cultivation world and then fabricate some things. Maybe Eiichiro Oda met a disciple of the Shinto Shrine. After learning some secrets, they had the creativity of the Demon Fruit."

The three of them talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the Tree Shrine.

There is no turbulence in the process, so there is no need to repeat it.

Unexpectedly, the young generation of powerful people with the highest combat power in Fu Yang and Shuji Shrine - King Okayama, is preparing to fight! The other members watched the battle as usual.

But Fu Yang had long discovered that an ordinary person with no magical aura was also standing among the group of shrine disciples. He widened his eyes and rubbed his hands, looking extremely excited!

That's right, Fu Yang recognized it. That guy is indeed Oda, the author of "One Piece"!

Although he is not a hardcore Japanese comic fan, he often discusses various pirates, Naruto, and so on with his classmates in high school. He has seen the author's appearance in magazines and online.

If it were seven or eight years ago, he would have been so excited that he would have been to shake hands and sign the author of "One Piece". But now, it is completely different! It was Oda who watched him fight with Okayama Haruka in the crowd with envious and admiring eyes...

In fact, Fu Yang and the others guessed correctly!

Oda's distant cousin is a cultivator of the Tree Shrine. He is very strong and has a low status. Sometimes he will tell Oda about some things in the cultivation world. When he was young, Oda had a sudden inspiration and made up some of the ways the members of the Tree Shrine gained magic power, and he created the devil fruit in "One Piece".

Unexpectedly, comics became popular...

Oda would occasionally come to the Kikuno Shrine to sit in the Shinto Shrine through his distant cousin to learn about the mysterious world of cultivation. Unfortunately, he had long been judged by his cousin as having no talent for cultivation, otherwise he would rather not be a cartoonist than to swallow the fruit of the sacred tree and gain magic power!

Get back to the point.

But in the field, Fu Yang and King Okayama had already started fighting!

I saw that King Qing of Okayama was six feet tall, strong and strong, with his muscles as twisted as rocks. He clenched his fists and rushed forward. In the void, there was a fog of yellow fog instantly condensed, turning into two huge fists - almost as big as a hill, hitting Fu Yang.

oh?

Fu Yang was stunned, and then smiled: "The power of earth attributes?"

"That's right! What I eat is a rare earth fruit, which has the power to control the earth element. As long as I stand on the earth, I will be invincible. And my enemies will fall into terrifying struggles."

King Okayama seemed very confident in his strength!

Fu Yang also found that the normal land under his feet had turned into something like swamp mud. He firmly stuck to his legs - he had climbed to his knees, making it difficult for him to move.

This seemingly soft mud is incredibly sticky.

In front of me, two small hills of mud fists hit head-on!

hehe……

A sneer appeared on the corner of Okayama's mouth: "I said that as long as I stand on the earth, I will be almost invincible in the same realm. Because, the earth and I are one. The soil I use is several times harder than steel alloys. You can't..."

Before I finished speaking, I heard two deafening loud noises, accompanied by a twisted and crunched metal.

All the people watching the game in the distance covered their ears, but the ordinary cartoonist Oda only felt that someone used a big hammer to hit the ear, and the ears were buzzing, and Venus was coming out of his eyes. The nosebleed was flowing out... It was very embarrassed and pitiful.

It's Fu Yang!

Although he stood still, he just raised his hand, covered with black scales and surrounded by black ghost power, and easily punched the two hill-like fists into pieces.
Chapter completed!
