The origins of the Demon Clan's Sacred Tree are unknown even to successive Demon Saints; they only know it is an ancient tree of countless ages, possessing unimaginable power—so long as the Sacred Tree stands, the Demon Clan shall exist eternally in this world.
Once, a Demon Saint tried to assimilate the Sacred Tree into himself in order to enter the realm of eternal immortality and become a true immortal.
Unfortunately, the Sacred Tree couldn't be assimilated, not even with the power of a Demon Saint.
That Demon Saint ultimately suffered a backlash from the Sacred Tree, losing most of his cultivation, and fell prematurely.
This incident led to the subsequent Demon Saints holding a mysterious taboo regarding the Sacred Tree; they relied on its power, but also feared it.
In ancient times, some powerful members of the Human Clan also coveted the Demon Clan's Sacred Tree. The most famous among them was the Martial Lord Hou Yi.
