The cosmic realm is a very strange place.
As you fly through black infinities, you notice tiny specks of light. Only when the heavens are most absent from the sky, and when the night is shining, can mortals just barely glimpse the lights in the sky. These stars are like tiny realms- each one separated by an abyss that would swallow anything less then a powerful immortal- like yourself.
You come across one such realm that looks promising. The air is very fresh and crisp, as though it is deep in the night, and the sounds of wildlife are heard. Several dark mountains, illuminated only by starlight, crowd around a small valley. You see glowing mushrooms and animals that seem home to this place- though you do not know if this place as a master.
In the center of the area is the most interesting thing- a great glowing tree. It is rich with chi and special forms of energy- this is exactly the kind of thing you are looking for! At the base of the tree is a roughly man-sized crystal formation. Could this be an extremely potent ingredient one could make for a cosmic level cultivation pill?
As you approach the tree however, you feel a sudden sensation of danger. Your third eye allows you to see things as they are; and just underneath the soil here are the barbed and spiky roots of this great tree. They slither near the surface, as though ready to entangle anyone who draws near- could this tree perhaps be a sort of carnivorous plant- which is why none of the animals of this small realm seem to go near it or its light? It isn't attacking the gently swaying grass or flowing water nearby, so it must be able to determine if something is living that approaches it. Perhaps fast motion? Or, at this level of being, it can sense intent?
Holding out your hand, you can already tell that the crystal will not fly towards you- even your telekenetic ability cannot overcome its cosmic energies rooting it in place and binding it to this tree. You can only gather it with a touch.
>Approach the tree calmly and peacefully
>Use Daoist fire magic and burn any roots that attack you
>Put on strongest magic item of Metal element, to counter the Wood element of this tree
>Other?
