”Gulp, gulp.” A series of nervous gasps sounded in the silent valley. The darkness of the night had completely shrouded the entire valley. Occasionally, there would be the dim light of the moon shining in the dark.
A cold gust of wind blew recklessly, and the leaves on an ancient tree in the distance rustled along with the wind. Streams of flowing water filled the surrounding area, causing the atmosphere in the valley to become even weirder.
”Wu Hen, are you speaking the truth? The strange treasure in there is actually the Scarlet Fruit? ” The usually calm Jian Nameless had his eyes wide open as he asked Wu Hen while looking at him in shock.
”Hehe, I have seen it in a book before, this tree is the Myriad Wood Ancestral Tree! This tree was specially nurtured and nurtured with its own essence. It was nurtured inside the heart of the tree to turn into a Scarlet Sunlight Fruit! Furthermore, the Red Cloud Vermillion Fruit will only ripen once every ten thousand years, and is not something that a fated person can come across! ” Wu Hen rolled his eyes and repeated Demon Sovereign Huo Xiao's words.
”Hmph, you clearly know that this thing is one of the nine divine objects, yet you're swearing an oath on the Heavenly Dao? Is your brain damaged?!” Ji Ru Xue snorted coldly. With a slightly disdainful look in her eyes, she glared at Wu Hen, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and asked in a choked voice.
”Hehe, Ninth Miss …” Wu Hen smiled blandly as the Eternal Heaven Divine Art in his body stopped circulating. He slowly stood up and scratched his head in embarrassment.
”You all, just call me Ji Ruxue!” The girl in white, who had always been as cold as ice, was now smiling at Wu Hen. A smile akin to a fairy descending from heaven caused Wu Hen to be stunned.
”The surname 'Ji' is rarely seen. It is the surname of the Great Zhou Empire!” To the side, Jian Wuming did not notice Ji Ruxue's smile and instead knitted his brows as he muttered to himself.
”Hehe, don't tell me that it is only allowed to have the surname of the Great Zhou Imperial Family, and no one is allowed to call it that!” Ji Ruxue's cold face once again revealed a layer of indifference. She raised her eyebrows at Jian Wuqing, opened her mouth again and spoke with displeasure, ”The Divine Continent and the Penglai Dynasty of the Northern Continent have a sword with the surname of emperor! Let me ask you this. Jian Wuming, are you really the royal family of the Penglai Dynasty? ”
”Ahem, Ninth Miss is overthinking it!” I am an orphan who roamed the Divine Continent! Being able to practice the sword is truly just a coincidence! ” Jianming slightly bowed, expressing a trace of apology to Ji Ruxue for his rudeness just now.
”Humph, just this once!” Ji Ruxue coldly snorted and turned her head to find an empty space to sit on. A wave of ice-cold profound energy aura rose, and the late stage of Soul Building Stage cultivation was completely exposed.
”Buzz!” A sword chime sounded out loud and clear. The longsword on the back of the nameless sword suddenly trembled, and an incomparably golden Sword Qi enveloped the body of the nameless sword. He was once again in the later stages of the Soul Building Stage. A violent sword intent wrapped around him shot up into the sky.
”Sigh, I thought my cultivation speed was already one in a million!” I really did not expect to meet two monsters like this! ” Wu Hen faintly sighed before slowly closing his eyes again. He activated the Eternal Heaven Divine Art in his body and quietly started cultivating.
”Eh, it's not simple, it's not simple!” The aura being emitted by these two little fellows, could it be that they possess the physiques from the legends? ” Demon Sovereign Huo Xiao squinted as he stared at the two people beside him, Jian Nameless and Ji Ruxue, with excitement in his eyes.
The quiet valley descended into silence once more. The pure Xuan Qi in the air started to flow slowly, surging in three different directions.
After four hours had passed, it was almost midnight. The ground in which the three were standing trembled slightly, and the pure life energy in the air suddenly became restless.
Rumble …
The massive black rock body of the Vicious Beast that had been hovering between the stream and ancient trees suddenly twisted. A burst of shaking sounds came up. The Vicious Beast Rock Python opened its blood-red eyes and spat out a long, stinky letter. It quietly stood up and stared at the three people at the edge of the pool like a tiger staring at its prey.
Behind the Vicious Beast Stone Python, the towering ancient tree suddenly rose up from the ground. The thick tree trunk and lush leaves all shook, and the enormous ancient tree actually floated up into the air. Inside the ancient tree, a boundless life force shot out. The towering ancient tree gradually turned transparent. Drops of milky-white juice separated from the ancient tree trunk and floated in the air.
”Traceless boy, the Scarlet Fruit is about to mature!” Hurry up and get rid of that vicious beast, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have time! ” Watching as the tree in the distance gradually turned into a milky liquid, Demon Sovereign Huo Xiao anxiously sent a sound transmission to Wu Hen. ”It will take half an hour for the Red Cloud Vermillion Fruit to ripen and mature. The storage time after the fruit matures is only a quarter of an hour. Within a quarter of an hour, it was not allowed to be touched or broken. It could only be swallowed into the stomach for food purposes. Otherwise, after a quarter of an hour, the divine item, the Red Cloud Vermillion Fruit, will automatically dissipate and fuse into the world … ”
”Fuck, you old demon, why did you only say this now!” Wu Hen was secretly shocked upon hearing this. He hurriedly transmitted the process of the Purple Clouds Vermillion Fruit's maturation, as well as the time that he had seized for only a quarter of an hour, to Jian Wuming and Ji Ruxue!
”Phew, an hour will suffice to destroy it.” Jian Nameless faintly sighed, a confident smile suddenly appearing on his stern face. Two sharp eyes shot out two beams of cold light, and the heavy sword behind him suddenly rose up into the air.
”Buzz!” A sword chime sounded out, and with the thick sword in his hand, the aura around his body suddenly became extremely berserk, as though he was a god of death, as though he was two people compared to his previous ice-cold demeanor.
”You guys stall it first, I need some time!” Ji Ruxue, who was as cold as ice, had a normal expression on her face. Suddenly, a few shiny crystals appeared in her hands. Following which, Ji Ruxue slowly stepped forward and with strange steps, she began to draw an array in the air.
