Chapter 311 - Chapter 311: Chapter 13: The Spirit Fruit Ripens, Beasts Attack (2/2)
It desperately needed the Five Elements Spirit Fruits to help itself break through to the next realm.
……
In the following period, Lin Jing continued to cultivate and at the same time, hastened the ripening of the Five Elements Spirit Fruits.
Time flashed by, and soon, another three months had passed.
It had been five months since Lin Jing arrived here.
During this period, due to limitations, Lin Jing hadn’t entered the System Space even once.
However, Lin Jing wasn’t in a hurry.
On the contrary, cultivating daily under the Five Elements Spirit Tree, Lin Jing felt his progress wasn’t slow.
And indeed, as Elder Monkey had said, his body was undergoing subtle changes, slowly transforming.
Because Lin Jingzhi was a cultivator with a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root, he was able to hasten the ripening of the fruits much faster than Elder Monkey had anticipated.
After these five months of continuous hastening, the Five Elements Spirit Fruits were finally close to maturation.
At this moment, on the Five Elements Spirit Tree, in the very center of the small canopy, the dazzling and colorful Five Elements Spirit Fruits were emitting an unusual glow.
This glow bathed the entire small island in a brilliant array of colors.
Elder Monkey, hovering in midair, looked at the Five Elements Spirit Fruits that were about to ripen with great excitement.
And Little Gold and Little Black, the two fierce birds, also guarded the island on both sides, gazing towards the Five Elements Spirit Tree.
Meanwhile, Lin Jingzhi channeled his cultivation technique with all his might.
Countless streams of spiritual power surged from his hands, absorbed by the formation, and flowed towards the Five Elements Spirit Tree.
As time slowly passed, the glow emitted by the Five Elements Spirit Fruits on the tree became ever more resplendent.
One hour…
Four hours…
Six hours…
…
…
This final phase of maturation always seemed so difficult.
It passed like this, until ten hours had elapsed.
Finally, after a burst of exceptionally splendid radiance, the Five Elements Spirit Fruits matured.
At the moment the Five Elements Spirit Fruits ripened, several figures suddenly appeared, rushing towards the small island.
And Lin Jing was immediately startled.
He hadn’t expected that no sooner had the Five Elements Spirit Fruits matured than there would be those seeking to seize them.
“Hahaha…”
“Old Monkey, I’ll gladly take these Five Elements Spirit Fruits for myself…”
One of them, a resounding voice, rang out.
Lin Jing looked up to see a dark bear flying through the air towards the island.
“Blind bear, what mess are you making? These Five Elements Spirit Fruits should rightfully be mine…”
The second voice that came was very sharp.
Lin Jing turned to look and saw another creature with a pointed beak—it was a white crane.
The white crane and the black bear, one on the left and the other on the right, were both attacking the small island.
Besides this bear and crane, there was a crimson Giant Python that burst out from beneath the lake shore, rearing its head hundreds of meters high.
“You two, now is not the time to quarrel; let’s secure the Five Elements Spirit Fruits first…”
A hoarse voice spilled from the mouth of the Giant Python.
The Giant Python, unlike the bear and the crane just before, kept its gaze fixed on the Five Elements Spirit Fruits atop the Five Elements Spirit Tree on the island in the lake from the moment it appeared.
Just as the Five Elements Spirit Fruits ripened, three powerful Demonic Beasts took action to seize them.
And the aura emanating from their bodies was extraordinary; they seemed to be not much different from Elder Monkey in terms of strength.
