Chapter 1682: The Holy Mountain Appears (1/2)

Although Huang Xiaolong had expected the holy fruit to bring an array of amazing benefits, he was still astonished to hear that the holy fruit was comparable to the grandmist fruit that grew on the Grandmist Tree in his Master King of Grandmist’s orchard!

He had taken the grandmist fruit, thus he was clearer than anyone here of its effectiveness. With one grandmist fruit, his cultivation had taken a great leap from the peak late-Sixth Order God King Realm to peak late-Seventh Order God King Realm!

One big cultivation realm!

The Holy Mountain had twelve floors, so if he could be the first person to clear each floor’s obstacles, then wouldn’t it mean that he would gain thirty-six holy fruits?!

“The holy fruit is comparable to the grandmist fruit? From what I’ve heard, consuming one’s first grandmist fruit is the most beneficial. The effects decline when consuming the consecutive fruits.” Huang Xiaolong said.

If that was the same with the holy fruit, it made no difference whether he got thirty-six holy fruits or one holy fruit.

Fan Hui smiled as he explained, “Master may not be aware of this, but the holy fruit is different from the grandmist fruit in this aspect. With the grandmist fruit, the effects reduce with the more number of fruits you consume, however, with the holy fruit, the more you consume, the better the benefits. For example, consuming your first holy fruit has roughly similar benefits to your first grandmist fruit, then your second holy fruit would give a greater benefit than the first, the third holy fruit is two times better than your second holy fruit. The effects continue to double with your fourth holy fruit and so on!”

Huang Xiaolong was astounded at Fan Hui’s words.

This…!

In that case, when he consumes the thirty-sixth holy fruit, he could gain several times the benefits of refining his first grandmist fruit? Maybe twenty times, even thirty times better?!

“Then, in so many years, what’s the record for most holy fruits a person in Hell has gotten?” Huang Xiaolong asked.

“The highest is twenty-eight! Only one person has achieved that, the second highest record is twenty-seven holy fruits, there were four people who achieved this result.” It was Wan Yutian who answered.

“No one has ever gotten thirty or more?” Huang Xiaolong sounded surprised.

All four shook their heads.

“No, the person who had gotten twenty-eight holy fruits is Ghost World’s Qin Fan, who is also the Castellan of Ghost World’s Fengdu City.” Tai Yue went on, “That year, even though Qin Fan cleared the eleventh floor, he couldn’t clear the obstacles on a few floors, hence, he got twenty-eight holy fruits in the end. Other than Qin Fan, the other person who cleared the eleventh floor’s obstacles was the Misty Palace’s Shu Wei! She is the current Palace Master of Misty Palace.”

He truly had not expected that.

Qin Fan was the Ghost World’s strongest expert, and his talent was almost unrivaled, thus Huang Xiaolong wasn’t surprised that Qin Fan had reached the eleventh floor of the Holy Mountain. On the other hand, the Misty Palace’s Palace Master Shu Wei’s similar achievement surprised him.

Whether it was fame or prestige, the Misty Palace’s Shu Wei was simply too far behind compared to Qin Fan.

“The Misty Palace’s Palace Master Shu Wei is extremely low-profile. She was hailed as the Asura World’s number one beauty in the past, and the number of geniuses who chased after her could form a hundred million miles long line.” Jin Yuan said in a complicated tone. “No one really knows the true extent of her talent, and the time she took to rise to fame was extremely short. It was truly unexpected for all parties when she ascended to the eleventh floor of the Holy Mountain, but after that, she has rarely appeared in public. According to rumors, she has been in seclusion within the Misty Palace for the last one billion years, that is also why she’s not as famous as Qin Fan.”

Tai Yue chimed in nostalgically, “The Misty Palace used to rank thirty-second among the Asura World’s forces in the past. It’s Shu Wei’s credit that its ranking has risen all the way into the top ten in a short one billion years or so. Not only did she lead the Misty Palace into the top ten, but they firmly sit at third place!”

To Tai Yue and the others, Shu Wei was a junior, however, when speaking of Shu Wei, all four of them wore serious expressions.

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes glimmered noticing this detail. “How is this Shu Wei’s strength?” he asked.

Fan Hui shook his head, “Following our investigation, more than a billion years ago, some time after she ascended to the eleventh floor of the Holy Mountain, she broke through to Emperor Realm. The rumors circulating outside claim that she has already reached the peak late-Tenth Order Emperor Realm, but there are also rumors saying she has already surpassed Emperor Realm.”
