Links	Mission 8 (Past)

An enormous sacred tree far to the west of Tao Village. Its flowers, leaves, bark, roots, and most notably its sap have unimaginable healing properties. The tree is fiercely guarded by numerous Shaymin, who Micle refers to as "little puffballs". They drive back any intruders along side the tree's main guardian, Ceylon. The golden sap of the tree may only be drawn out if the blood of the guardian is spilled upon it.

Mission 8 (Past)

While a majority of Pokemon stayed behind to defend the village for the Dark Moon Clan, a detachment of guild members, recruited by Mike and Micle, headed towards the Tree of Life to obtain some of the tree's sap and use it to heal Jasmine. Upon arrival, however, the group was immediately attacked by the guardian, Ceylon. The Shaymin repeated what Micle had told Mike what must be done in order to obtain the sap; kill Ceylon and spill his blood on the tree. The Charmeleon attempted to reason with the Sky Shaymin, in hopes that there was another way of getting the sap. Upon hearing Jasmine's name, Ceylon told Mike if the Celebi were meant to live, then he would have to die.

Epilogue Part 1

In the ensuing battle, Ceylon was killed by GK with help from the guild members. The sap was taken, and then carried back to the village in a sacred vessel.

And as it was revealed later, the flowers from the Tree was a critical ingredient for the cure of Charles' condition, to which he succumbed before the ingredients could be gathered, despite PK's best intention. Not long after, the cure saved PK from the same fate, the leftover of which eventually became available to the Rogues as an artifact during Mission 8.
