1735 The Fruit of Vow and Blessing (2/2)

Mo Fan knew what Zhang Xiaohou was thinking. He patted his friend on the shoulder and said, ”Forget it, you can take on the responsibility in the future. With your cultivation and the help from the military, the day when you are strong enough to face the Silver Skyruler won't be far away, even if it does become the Emperor of Feathers of the Qinling Mountains.”

Zhang Xiaohou nodded. He understood where Mo Fan was coming from. Going after the Silver Skyruler now was suicide. He would not give up if it was within his capabilities, but if something was beyond his capabilities, he had no choice but to set it aside for now. He had to hold his ground no matter what happened. He needed to be confident about his future!

”The Tree of Vows has some rare fruits. I'll ask Little Moon Moth Phoenix to pluck them for you, but I'm afraid we won't have a chance to see the Sacred Waterfall. We'll bring the fruits back to prove that we reached this height!” Yu Shishi declared.

The Tree of Vows was like an old home to the Little Moon Moth Phoenix. She was very familiar with its surroundings.

The Tree of Vows was the home of some special creatures. They were hiding behind the colorful leaves and observing the outsiders alertly. However, they did not attack them since the Moon Moth Phoenix was around.

Little Moon Moth Phoenix plucked some fruits and split them among the group.

”What can I use this for?” Ling Fei asked.

”The fruit's effects differ between people. You can just bring it back and eat it. Consider it a blessing for being able to find the Tree of Vows, but a creature can only eat a single fruit from the Tree of Vows. After the first fruit, eating more of the fruit won't bring you any benefits, and it might harm you instead,” Yu Shishi said.

”The fruits of the Tree of Vows are similar to the Blessing of the God's Seal from the Parthenon Temple. You should treat it preciously. We only have the chance to claim them after reaching our current altitude during the Ceremony of the Winged Beasts...” Jiang Shaoxu said.

”Are you serious? It's comparable to the Blessing of the God's Seal?” Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan's eyes widened simultaneously.

”Mm, it's a permanent blessing, but I have no clue if it's as effective as the Blessing of the God's Seal. It might only be a minor improvement to our strength,” Jiang Shaoxu said.

”Are the fruits really that impressive? Little Moon Moth Phoenix, I have a basket here! Can you please fill it up with the fruits for me?” Mo Fan asked the Little Moon Moth Phoenix shamelessly.

”Are you going to eat the fruits like they are rice!?” Yu Shishi snapped.

”I can give them to the others, or even auction them in the marketplace. I bet they are as expensive as a huge building in a city!” Mo Fan exclaimed.

”Mo Fan, she already said that the Tree of Vows will only grant its fruits to the creatures that have reached it. It won't give the fruits to those that have never been here,” Lingling said.

”Oh, that's true...” Mo Fan felt it was a pity. However, he was curious when he recalled Jiang Shaoxu's words. He asked, ”Jiang Shaoxu, it's your first time here. How do you know all this?”

”I read it in my brother's journal. It's the reason I'm here,” Jiang Shaoxu said.

”Jiang Shaojun has been here, too?”

”Mm, I'm following the trail he left. I might be able to bid him farewell for real once I reach the end of it!” Jiang Shaoxu smiled.
