Chapter 2659: Grand Dao Source Spring (2/2)
As the competition came to an end, news of the stage battle spread like wildfire through the Alien Lands. Experts in the numerous domains boiled in excitement, shock, and disbelief as if they were listening to some kind of unbelievable myth.
“Huang Xiaolong has three evolvable saint godheads? Twelve high-order Saint Fates?!”
“Not only that, I’ve heard he also has the Holy Mandate Imprint, and Inextinguishable Dao Heart! It is said that on the battle stage, Yuan Qianxing couldn’t withstand one strike from Huang Xiaolong, and even his pants shattered into fragments in the first blow!”
“In the end, Yuan Qianxing fled in a sorry state. If it wasn’t for the Myriad Origin Race’s old ancestor and several other old ancestors’ rescue, Yuan Qianxing probably wouldn’t have survived till the end! When Yuan Qianxing escaped, he only had his underpants on him, turning him into a laughing stock through the whole Alien Lands! Remember, how glorious he was before, with the Origin Saint Godhead? Hailed as the Son of Origin, he was a mansion master candidate, but now, he’s nothing!”
Through the Alien Lands were talks and whispers of the battle between Yuan Qianxing and Huang Xiaolong, shocking various races’ experts.
Naturally, Yuan Qianxing had become the biggest laughing stock in history.
The Myriad Origin Race, Enchantress Race, and Golden Buddha Race had ordered the disciples of their own races to spread rumors detrimental to Huang Xiaolong. For example, they were told to say that Huang Xiaolong had made insidious sneak attacks on Yuan Qianxing, or the Otherworldly Mansion Master Mo Zhi, Deputy Mansion Master Long Shengtian, and others had helped Huang Xiaolong in secret. They even accused Huang Xiaolong of being shameless. But when these rumors appeared, most of the people merely listened to it as a joke. No one believed a word of it.
Half a month later…
At nightfall…
On the top of the Chaos Essence Holy Peak, Huang Xiaolong was pondering.
There was news about the escaped Yuan Qianxing from the Otherworldly Mansion. Yuan Qianxing was seen at the boundary of the World River. Clearly, he was planning to hide in the World River. According to Long Shengtian’s analysis, Yuan Qianxing, very likely, was headed to the Eight Claw Devil Eye Race.”
“World River,” Huang Xiaolong muttered to himself.
No matter what, leaving Yuan Qianxing alive was going to cause endless troubles. Thus he planned to go to the World River to tie up this loose end and also look for the Dragon Fish Race’s old ancestor to ask about the secret on the Creation Record’s last page.
Then again, before he set off to the World River, he needed to raise his strength a little more.
Dao Fruit, Huang Xiaolong muttered inwardly.
Now that he was the official Otherworldly Mansion’s young master, perhaps, he could ask Mo Zhi and Long Shengtian about the Three of Grand Dao and Dao Fruit. Since he was the mansion’s young master, he had the right to know about certain secrets.
After getting the Dao Fruit, he could probably advance to Fifth Heaven True Saint.
Early the next day, Huang Xiaolong went to see Mo Zhi and Long Shengtian, and managed to inquire about the Tree of Grand Dao and Dao Fruit.
Both Mo Zhi and Long Shengtian were surprised as neither of them had expected Huang Xiaolong to know that the Tree of Grand Dao was at the Otherworldly Mansion.
“Yes, the Tree of Grand Dao is in the forbidden land of our Otherworldly Mansion.”
After exchanging a brief glance, Mo Zhi nodded and did not conceal the matter. “The thing is, a few years back, it was traumatized, and it suffered some serious damages, which affected the Dao Fruits it bears. At the moment, there is no way the Dao Fruits can be collected, and even if you consume the Dao Fruit, it won’t have the ideal effects.”
They brought Huang Xiaolong into the Otherworldly Mansion’s forbidden land, in front of the towering Tree of Grand Dao. As they had said, the tree’s trunk was scorched black, and the six fist-sized fruits on its branches looked bleak, wrinkly and shrunken, as if their vitality had leaked away.
Huang Xiaolong frowned. Why is the situation so bad?
“In truth, there is a way to heal the Tree of Grand Dao, as long as there is the grand dao source spring.” Mo Zhi suddenly said, “When I went to the World River, I went because of this.”
“You mean the grand dao source spring is at the World River?” Huang Xiaolong immediately became spirited.
