Han Sen learned more about the situation from Exquisite. The Star Tree was guarded by a Very High elder. Every Very High silkworm had a chance to pick a Star Fruit.
But how many Star Fruits a silkworm could pick was determined by the Very High elder's test.
The result of the test would affect how many Star Fruits a silkworm could pick. At the very least, they could pick one Star Fruit. At the very most, they could pick ten.
But the test didn't have a fixed format. How the test was conducted and how many Star Fruits a silkworm could pick after the test was decided by the Very High elder who guarded the Star Tree.
"Uncle's personality is a bit special. If he likes you, he can ask you a few questions, and you can pick seven or eight Star Fruits.
If he doesn't like you, not only will he give you a very difficult test, even if you pass, he will only let you pick a small amount of Star Fruits … I hope you're good enough for Martial Granduncle … "Ling Long said with a strange expression.
"Is he that stubborn?
Then what is the point of this test?
Why don't we just change it to a beauty contest? "Han Sen thought to himself.
Naturally, Ling Long could sense what he was thinking. She smiled and said, "Actually, the Star Tree belongs to Martial Granduncle. He can give the Star Fruit to whomever he wants.
Being willing to share it with us juniors is already a great favor. So even if Martial Uncle only allowed you to pick one Star Fruit, you should still be grateful. "
"I see. That explains it.
If the Star Tree belongs to him, he can split it however he wants. "Han Sen nodded.
"This can only be considered a small reward. When all of us have chosen our silkworms, there will be a formal test. If you perform well enough, you will receive more resources than the Star Fruit," Ling Long said.
"How long do I have to wait?" Han Sen asked.
"There are thirteen of us in this generation. Now, only Little Junior Sister hasn't chosen a silkworm. Once she's chosen, the official test will begin." When Exquisite mentioned Little Junior Sister, her eyes flashed with a strange light.
After hearing this, Han Sen also had a strange feeling in his heart, but he was immediately stopped by Han Sen.
The little sister she was referring to was Li Keer. Li Keer had wanted to choose Dollar, so Han Sen was familiar with her.
"Let's go. We'll go to the Star Tree first." Exquisite placed her hand on Han Sen's shoulder and teleported Han Sen and Bao'er away from Underworld Lake.
There were still many pages missing from the Xuan Yellow Sutra. Although Han Sen wanted to fish up all of them at once, he could not rush it. He would have to wait until the next time.
When Han Sen saw the Star Tree, he couldn't help but be shocked. It was a tree that almost covered the sky. It was like a giant umbrella that supported the world.
Above the crown of the tree, numerous sun-like fruits hung on the branches, illuminating the jade-like leaves with a myriad of colors. It was so gorgeous that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes.
According to Linglong, this Martial Granduncle of hers had a very strange temper, and his background was also very legendary.
When the children of the Very High were born, they were divided into two groups. One group was the normal Very High that carried on the Very High's bloodline. These Very High didn't practice the Very High Sense, so their personalities were normal. They had the emotions of a normal creature, just like Liyu Zhen.
The other group was like Exquisite. They practiced the Very High Sense, and as they progressed, their emotions and desires became thinner and thinner. But their power was far greater than the average Very High.
A Very High child's path was decided the moment they were born.
This uncle was like Exquisite. He had practiced the Very High Sense since he was a child. He had become deified, and he had almost become a true god.
But in the end, he had destroyed the Very High Sense and started all over again. Exquisite didn't know why he had done that.
But ever since he had started all over again, the uncle had been guarding the Star Tree. He hadn't left. Even Exquisite didn't know what level he was now.
"Uncle." Exquisite led Han Sen to the Star Tree. She bowed to the roots of the tree.
Han Sen and Bao 'er looked over. They saw a Very High old man with white hair and a beard sitting atop the thick root of the tree that was glowing like jade.
His wrinkles were rougher than the bark of the tree. His white beard reached the ground, and he sat there with his eyes closed. It looked as if he had passed away.
Han Sen thought this was strange. With the power of the Very High, it wasn't difficult for them to maintain their youth until they died of old age. Why did this uncle look so old?
When he heard Exquisite's voice, the old man opened his eyes. But his eyelids were too heavy. He could only open his eyes a little. If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't be able to see him.
The old man looked at Exquisite, then looked at Han Sen and Bao'er. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Exquisite is here. Is this the silkworm you chose?
Is it a big one or a small one? "
"His name is Han Sen. He is a crystallizer …" Exquisite introduced Han Sen and Bao'er to the old man.
"You chose a crystallizer. That takes a lot of courage," the old man said.
He looked at Han Sen for a while. He started to say something, but suddenly, a shadow teleported in front of the old man.
"Uncle." That person bowed to the old man.
"Liyu Zhen?
What is he doing here? "Han Sen and Exquisite both had the same question.
"Liyu Zhen, you wait here. I will finish the test for Exquisite's silkworm, and then it will be your turn." The old man gestured for Liyu Zhen to stand aside.
Liyu Zhen bowed to the old man again and said, "Uncle, if that's the case, why don't we take the test together?"
Han Sen and Exquisite were shocked. They didn't know what Liyu Zhen was up to.
The old man was silent for a moment. He nodded and said, "Okay. That will save us some time. You guys can take the test together."
Exquisite thought this was strange. Normally, only the Very High silkworms would be tested. The Very High didn't need to be tested. Why would Liyu Zhen want to take the test, too? She was confused.
The old man seemed to see the confusion in Exquisite's heart, and so he said, "I will be traveling. My people have recommended Liyu Zhen to watch over the Star Tree for me. If he can pass the test, he will be in charge of the Star Tree."
Han Sen was glad they had come early. If they had waited until Liyu Zhen was in charge of the Star Tree, who knew if Liyu Zhen would have made things difficult for him?
