Chapter 924 - The Three Great Spiritual Roots (1/2)

Zhong Yue did not manage to restrain himself from laughing after hearing this. Meanwhile, the gods quickly placed the bridge, allowing this young god to board the ancient ship and that was when a divine general said with a smile, "This lord that I serve is a human, are you here to look for my lord?"

The young god looked towards Zhong Yue and he scratched his head as he exclaimed, "Human? Huh! So many humans!"

Those many ancient universe's wild human leaders standing beside Zhong Yue had given the young god a scare and he thought, The grand ancestor did not make it clear! There are so many of them and I only have one fruit! Who should I give it to? Besides, who am I supposed to observe….

Yin Fanxuan on the other hand, was in shock upon finding out Hundun Yu's identity and she exclaimed, "This senior martial brother, you are from the Hundun Clan?"

The young god scratched his head again and this time, he said, "I am Hundun Clan's Hundun Yu and I came with a Chaos Divine Fruit. If I may, who is the person in charge here?"

Yin Fanxuan quickly explained, "Hundun Clan is one of the 24 monarch races and the most mysterious among them all. Their disciples are rarely seen outside of their territory and they could only be seen active whenever chaos descend onto the world. Hence, the saying that whenever Hundun Clan appeared, along with them are always chaotic war."

"The world as we know now is already messed up and it will be even more messed up in the future. All of these have nothing to do with Hundun Clan."

Zhong Yue laughed, "How can we push the responsibilities onto them? Brother Hundun, allow me to introduce myself. I am the Left King Yi Feng of Xian Tian Palace, the commander of Heaven Suppression Fortress, the person in charge here and at the same time, a human."

Hundun Yu let out a relieved breath and he replied, "Then you are probably the person I am tasked with looking for. Now, I present you the Chaos Divine Fruit."

He then harvested the fruit from the tree branch, handed it over to Zhong Yue while the many generals around Zhong Yue had their expressions changed upon this scene. Chi Song immediately whispered, "My lord, you must be cautious! You are the commander of Heaven Suppression Fortress and granted how strategic this fortress is, countless powers are bound to have their eyes on you. They will do anything to remove you if they have the chance and this might be one of their dirty trick."

Zhong Yue on the other hand, took over the fruit and he was moved by what he felt; within the fruit were strange Dao patterns.

"There are three spiritual roots in this universe with one being the Fusang Divine Tree, one the Innate Fruit Tree of Leizhe, and the other was the Divine Tree of Life."

Hundun Yu said, "Among them, the Leizhe's Innate Fruit Tree grows the Innate Dao Fruits that each contain a type of Innate Daos wonder; the Divine Tree of Life is a prehistoric tree that was rumoured to be owned by the prehistoric ruler. The fruits from the Divine Tree of Life have the power to prolong one's age. However, the Divine Tree of Life disappeared without a sign later on but the Immortality Peach Trees were grew from the fruit harvested from the Divine Tree of Life. Thus, the fruits on the Peach Trees too, possessed similar effect as those from Divine Tree of Life. The Fusang Divine Tree on the other hand is said to be owned by Great Sui and after that, it ended up with the Jinwu Clan but the fruits grew on the tree were the Chaos Divine Fruit. This fruit that I gave you, is the fruit from Fusang Divine Tree and barely any of us from the Hundun Clan had the chance to eat it."

Prehistoric ruler? Could it be Great Si Ming? He has the Divine Tree of Life?

Zhong Yue examined this fruit; he had eaten the Innate Dao Fruit once and back then, when he wanted to dig out even more Chaos Qi, the tree unrooted and started running away but not before it threw an Innate Dao Fruit towards him.

And though Great Si Ming's Divine Tree of Life he had not once seen, he still managed to get his hands on a peach; in the Returning Ruins when he ran into the Immortality Mother Peach Tree Ancient Mother of the Imperial Woods, he was given two peaches and other lesser peaches.

Zhong Yue even made a promise with the Immortality Mother Peach Tree Ancient Mother of the Imperial Woods to meet again in the future. But ever since arriving in Zi Wei, he still didn't hear anything from Immortality Mother Peach Tree Ancient Mother of the Imperial Woods, not to mention seeing her, which led him to question if Immortality Mother Peach Tree Ancient Mother of the Imperial Woods escaped from the Returning Ruins or not.

As for the Fusang Divine Tree, Zhong Yue had the chance to see it but not the chance to eat its fruit.

But now, the Hundun Clan's Hundun Yu actually came looking for him and said that he wanted to present the fruit to Zhong Yue, which was really odd and sudden.

Apart from that, the fruit looked extremely real but given how rare the fruit was, Zhong Yue couldn't help but question Hundun Yu's motive by presenting such precious item to him.

"Darling, you musn't," warned Yin Fanxuan softly.

Zhong Yue asked, "Senior martial brother, you must be seeking something from me by giving me such item. If it does not bother you, could you please tell me the reason behind this?"

A conflicted expression rose on Hundun Yu's face and he whispered, "If I may, can we talk about this over there?"

With that said, Hundun Yun started walking towards a corner and Zhong Yue followed behind him with a smile.

"Now, can you please tell me what is it that you seek from me?"

Hundun Yu looked around and after seeing no one was around, he clarified himself, "I am here under the grand ancestor's order. He wanted me to give you this fruit and after that, sneak around to observe you in his place."

Zhong Yue did not see this coming and he laughed right away, "But senior martial brother, how are you supposed to sneak around after telling me this?"

"The grand ancestor said it will turn into a trade."

Hundun Yu said, "After accepting this fruit, you will not chase me away and I will be able to stay around to observe."

Not knowing he was supposed to laugh or cry, Zhong Yue shook and said, "I could let you stay around but this fruit is just way too precious. Besides, your ancestor's motive is just very odd. Could you give me any other more justified reasons?"

His words immediately had Hundun Yu shouted, "There is nothing more that I can say! I did not want to come at all but what choice do I have? The grand ancestor insisted that I also have to tell you that the future timeline is disrupted and it was impossible to observe you anymore in the chaos ..."

"Unable to observe me in the chaos?"

Zhong Yue was stunned and he shouted, "Your grand ancestor… Could he be …."

"Yes, he is the monarch of the Hundun Clan!"

Zhong Yue's mind flinched and right away, he recalled the image he saw when he sailed towards Heaven Suppression Palace in the ancient ship which depicted a Chaotic Divine Turtle crawling onto the land and walked away after turning into a living being.

His psyche waved and he asked after visualizing that image, "Is this your grand ancestor, senior martial brother?'

Hundun Yu however, was confused and after examining this image for some time, he replied, "Doesn't look like him."
