1066 Gap (2/2)

”What can I do if I can't let go?” Mo He ridiculed. ”I'm half crippled now… Eh? This is… Thousand Earthworm Fruit?”

He stared at that earthy yellow fruit in Fang Yuan's hand, unable to tear his eyes off of it. ”Is this the rumored sacred item that can make up for one's innate natural source?”

”With this, not only will you be able to extend your life, but you can even recover from all the injuries you've sustained. How about it?” Fang Yuan asked.

In any case, he was able to go up the Holy Mountain because Mo He had accepted him as his disciple. He had to settle this karma.

Was this not merely a fruit to him?

”This, naturally… I never thought I would actually see the real thing!” Mo He's voice was trembling slightly. This was not only his chance of recovery but also the key to his future Saber Great Dao!

As long as he could restore his original talent, he might really become an Immortal!

The previous ordeal was a precious grinding experience for him, making his saber sharper.

”In that case, I'll give it to you!”

Fang Yuan threw the Thousand Earthworm Fruit to Mo He casually.

”You… Why are you giving it up so willingly? This is akin to an extra life…” Mo He asked, puzzled. ”Even Immortals have a hard time obtaining such a sacred item!”

”Oh?” Fang Yuan's eyebrows arched.

”Your master was once a dazzling genius as well. Back when I lost my chance at becoming an Immortal all those years ago, I had audiences with Immortals… They told me of this method, but Thousand Earthworm Fruits are extremely rare. The last time one appeared was five hundred years ago…” Mo He started to reminisce.

”I see!” Fang Yuan nodded, knowing that Mo He must have been viewed as a monstrous genius all those years ago with regards to his comprehension of nomological laws.

To the extent that he could even trash peerless first-grade totems. Otherwise, how could he have attracted so much importance?!

If such a potential Immortal would die prematurely, an Immortal would probably give up a Thousand Earthworm Fruit to heal him.

A thought popped into Fang Yuan's mind. So… the place where I found these treasures belongs to no one? Even Immortals didn't find it?

The Barbarian Ancestral Court did not only have five Immortals. Some of them fell, while some were out exploring the world and had never returned.

It could even be somehow vaguely related to that almighty Pantheon.

Any existence could have buried those treasures on the Holy Mountain, leaving them for those fated to find them.

Treasures to Immortals, of course, were not just going to be buried in any pit. They had to be hidden within some void nodes and would only open after meeting certain conditions.

But to me, even Immortals have truly lacking comprehension of space… Fang Yuan shook his head. I'd be able to make a fortune just by roaming the world in search of treasures within void nodes.

”Are you really… willing to give it up?” Mo He asked a second time, his eyes glistening.

”It's only a fruit, so of course!” Fang Yuan smiled.

”Haha… I was right. You really have great providence! My life is yours in the future…” Mo He swallowed the Thousand Earthworm Fruit in one mouthful and started cultivating.

Someone like him was a man of his words. He would not owe anyone any favors. He would give up his life without a complaint if Fang Yuan said he wanted it back.

Saber Hearts and Sword Hearts needed to be unstained and unobstructed.

Given Mo He's potential, I might have an Immortal goon in the future?

Fang Yuan could not help having some expectations.

Mo He's talent in comprehending nomological laws did not need mentioning. Fang Yuan suspected that after Mo He's injuries healed, he would be able to attract the lightning tribulation if he were not dragged down by his cultivation base.

…

”Gold Ingot, what do you think the result would be if I were to meet head-on with an Immortal now?” While protecting Mo He by the side, he was secretly transmitting his voice to Gold Ingot.

”Given your teleportation technique, there are very few Immortals who could stop you if you wanted to leave. But fighting one head-on…” Gold Ingot's voice came. ”Don't even think about it. The terrifying strength of someone who has transcended the lightning tribulation is not something you can imagine!”

”That's true…” Fang Yuan nodded, thinking back to the methods of that Immortal Annihilating Soul. ”But I also have the Nine Star Pearl Mystic Technique!”

”Given your current strength at the Primordial Core realm, unless you reach at least the seventh star, it's impossible for you to fight against an Immortal directly!” Gold Ingot said decisively.

”The seventh star, that means more than a hundredfold gap?” Fang Yuan was slightly shocked. ”Such an enormous gap?”

”Given your current strength, you can kill those at the Apotheosis realm easily, but the Immortal realm is different. The lightning tribulation is a terrifying threshold. A step past it is a world of difference!”

Gold Ingot said solemnly, ”My old master, Immortal Hong Chen, was also a peerless genius. He fully comprehended a set of nomological laws at the Primordial Core realm, and it jumped to three complete sets at the peak of the Apotheosis realm. He had mystic techniques, numerous dao artifacts, and an incomparably strong foundation, yet he narrowly survived the lightning tribulation and nearly reincarnated… He luckily became an Immortal, but he needed almost a thousand years of recuperation… This was the result of insufficient preparation and rushing the lightning tribulation! You also know how powerful Immortals are, right?”

”Immortal Hong Chen told you all of this to warn the people who came after? What good intentions!”

This experience with the lightning tribulation was obviously not something he went through after he became an Immortal and refined the Pantheon Palace. It must have been something that Immortal Hong Chen had deliberately told Gold Ingot.

Fang Yuan nodded after hearing it. ”Looks like… the difference between someone at the Apotheosis realm and the Immortal realm is indeed a world apart!”

”However, you don't have to look down on yourself. Your Illusion Realm's nomological laws are truly something. You are absolutely invisible under Immortal… And you will look down upon the world when you become an Immortal!” Gold Ingot added hurriedly.
