There was too much information being disclosed, and there was too much that could not be comprehended!
The wills his other brothers had left previously were all genuine, but his third elder brother, Supreme Wood’s will, was more like a letter of explanation – to state his extraordinary background, to state the Nine Supreme’s miraculous origins, to state the other brothers’ astonishing fall!
In spite of this, there was more that Yun Yang could not understand, like the creator’s arrangement, the intervention of the Nine Supremes’ selection of candidates, the cutting of lines…
There were many people of remarkable origin that had intervened in Nine Supremes’ descent to the world! Who were those people?
Ultimately, the conclusion Yun Yang obtained was that ol’Third, ol’Fifth and ol’Eighth were surely fine. The eldest in memory was someone else, not Supreme Earth, while there was certainly a parting of life and death among the other brothers.
Regarding Supreme Wood’s identity, there was nothing more as he could not recall much from his vague memory. He also thought that the Residence of Nine Supremes’ wood-attributed Sacred Wood Spell was practically useless, while his Craft of Life was an excellent one.
Supreme Wood’s father and eldest uncle…
He had also mentioned ol’Second’s seemingly unusual background at the end of his letter, but he was not able to fully discern it. Why did he specifically mention that this was a wonder to ponder upon? There was also that farfetched wish – the fate of Yun Yang’s brothers being tied to Yun Yang and when he could master the universe and overcome the boundary of time and space, he could resurrect anyone he wanted…
In essence, these were the details that Yun Yang had gathered from Supreme Wood’s will.
However, these things were beyond mysterious and absurd to think about. It had exceeded common knowledge to the extent that Yun Yang’s usually clear mind was muddled, sticky and murky like a turgid paste.
Everything Supreme Wood had penned in his letter was vague. Every sentence was merely half a line. Not a single one was completed!
After combing through Supreme Wood’s words, the direct impression Yun Yang had gathered was that his third brother’s father was an eccentric! An eccentric who could compare to the father of a certain violent lady – he actually named his son Tan Yixia (talk about it)!
Talk about it, why don’t you walk around it!
As for everything else, it was a mess that could not be put into words.
This caused Yun Yang’s relaxed and even ecstatic mood to lurch into anxiousness once more. His heart hung in uncertainty, lodged high in his throat. He believed that his brothers had not died, that they had all been rescued, but looking at it now, there was a big probability that things were not that rosy. Those whom he could be sure were alright were only ol’Third, ol’Fifth and ol’Eighth. At most, there was an additional ol’Second whose origin was unusual. That was all; the fate of the other brothers was totally unknown.

At least I am relieved with the knowledge of two things now…
Yun Yang chuckled dryly and said,
At least, it seems like fifth sister-in-law Yun Zuiyue and eighth sister-in-law Yue Rulan had been brought away by fifth and eighth brother. They’re actually fine…


This would explain why Sister Yue could provide me with so many treasured resources back then and why Sister Lan’s will was so odd…

Yun Yang could not tell whether he was in grief or joy. It was a blend of emotions, so complicated that he felt lost and stripped of the ability to think.
Yun Yang remained in a stupor for some time in the small room before finally saying quietly,
Third brother, thank you.

It came from the bottom of his heart. His entrance to his brother’s room was insightful and surprising but there was also a sense of disappointment.
If it were not for Supreme Wood’s incomplete explanations, Yun Yang did not know how much longer he needed to be able to figure out the contents he was looking at now. This had nothing to do with intelligence. It was truly because the reasons were so extraordinary that the incidents were almost as ridiculous and as beyond one’s knowledge as the red light that surrounded Ji Lingxi!
He sighed softly and picked Supreme Wood’s letter up longingly to toy with it. Unintentionally, he flipped the letter over and his eyes bulged when they landed on the side of the page.
There were still words on the back of the letter.

The thing I enjoyed the most in this lifetime are strange plants. The twelve bonsai in this room are marvels that I collected after searching across half the Tianxuan Continent. They’re rare shrubs and, at the same time, precious treasured herbs. Consider this a little present from third brother to you. It would be best if you did not eat these twelve bonsai all at once – that would be a complete waste of God’s gift…


Use my Craft of Life and complement it with the Sacred Wood Spell to cultivate the plants. It can make the twelve bonsai grow three fruits each within ten days. Pay attention now; each bonsai can produce, at most, three fruits. If they produce more, you have to pluck it off instantly. More than three fruits, the medicinal effect will be diluted. It’d be bad instead.


Gather one fruit from each of the twelve plants and consume them together. It can increase one hundred and twenty years of refined mystical force.


Cough, ninth brother, you must take good care of these twelve bonsai for me… These are the twelve zodiac fruit bonsai I’ve collected over a long, long time…

Yun Yang was genuinely tickled by his third elder brother’s message.
Why did he not realize that his brother was this adorable last time? It seemed that Supreme Wood was really fond of the twelve plants – so much so that his worry of Yun Yang robbing his bonsai spilled through his words.
Yun Yang could imagine that Supreme Wood was not planning to leave these twelve shrubs behind, but it must be due to some reason that he could not take them with him and had to leave them here. Despite leaving his bonsai, he left plenty of advice and concern, afraid that Yun Yang would ill-treat his prized gems. The complex emotions reflected his simple charm.

You only wanted the bonsai anyway – this is simple. I only want the fruits, the fruits.
Yun Yang communicated with Emmie at once.
Emmie, see these twelve bonsai?

Emmie, who was already waiting in anticipation in the space, was impatient.
Ayaya…


This is superb? An item of myth?
Yun Yang was shocked.
Supreme Wood had mentioned the benefits of these shrubs in his letter, that all twelve fruits must be gathered to increase a hundred and twenty years worth of mystical power. The enhancement was, of course, a rare fantasy to ordinary people, but it was only a supplement to Yun Yang. After all, Yun Yang still had an endless sea of strength within him. The plants were hardly of help and there were so many species as well; time and effort had to be spent cultivating them. In such a short period of time, its benefits were fairly limited.

Ayaya… Ayaya…
Emmie’s soft voice was unusually excited, expressing its elation about these twelve bonsai. It was very fond of them as well and was even salivating a little over them.

Uh…
Yun Yang said,
These bonsai will be under your care, but I must clearly state the rules first; we only have the right to use the fruits. You mustn’t hurt the plants, understand?
