Chapter 408: The State of Mind Warning

The idea clung to Minghe's mind since its inception. The Star Tree of the Origin had been growing in the Starry Sky Region for many hundreds of millions of years. Anyone who had laid a finger on it was dead, with no exception. The limit on the Star Tree of the Origin could kill anyone, including experts at the Half Step to the Supreme Realm.
Though Hongjun had secret weapons and Fated Chances on the Battlefield of Gods and Demons as well, few would believe he could get the Star Tree of the Origin. Hongjun was at the Middle Stage of the Fate Realm and only had a few Spiritual Treasures of Chaos, which could not compete with those at the Half Step to the Supreme Realm at all.
Hongjun's plan for the tree should be a total failure. Minghe should have set aside those thoughts right away, but he did not. He actually believed in them. People would consider him crazy if they found that out.
But Minghe really was a crazy man. In Untainted Land, he would turn into a Rakshasa. He would bear the Divine Punishment with his body. Under his enemies' noses, he could pass tribulation. In the presence of the Way of Heaven, he could slaughter a Sage. Moreover, he would swallow the Origin when Untainted Land was shattering. Everything that he did was crazy.
While Hongjun did not often show his face in Untainted Land, he was not any less crazy than Minghe. Even Minghe did not dare to swallow the Way of Heaven of Untainted Land, but Hongjun did it anyway. If not for Minghe, Hongjun would have succeeded in his crazy plan.
Craziness had always been in Minghe's and Hongjun's bones. Those two would not miss an opportunity, even when they had to risk their lives. The practice was to fight against the world—one would achieve nothing if he followed the rules. If Hongjun had set his mind on the tree, Minghe would not be too surprised. After all, the Spiritual Roots of Chaos of the tree were extraordinary.
No matter how many opportunities there were, Minghe had prepared himself. He had to be cautious of Hongjun because he had been acting weird. After all, it was a critical situation concerning the Star Tree of the Origin. Looking back, Minghe felt that Hongjun might have a reason to have offered the collaboration.
No matter how hard the wind blew, Minghe stood his ground. He could not stop others' plotting, but he could equip himself with strength and methods. If Hongjun should turn against him, Minghe would show him no mercy and fight to the death.
There were only two fruits, but no one had picked them. They all looked into the distance. Five people and 10 Starry Sky Giant Beasts at the Peak of the Fate Realm were still tangled in the fight. They fought so hard that they would have destroyed everything in their way but for the limit on the tree.
Minghe and Hongjun stood back to watch the battle. It was not easy to find the perfect timing to snatch the final two fruits. They had to find it to grab the fruits and leave soon, lest they get besieged.
However, there was still some trouble. Just now, Minghe grabbing nine fruits made people angry, so some people decided to argue, who were five masters at the Late Stage of the Fate Realm. Those at the Early and Middle Stage of the Fate Realm might also be jealous, but they could only watch since they were too weak.
Minghe was not surprised. It was natural that the precious Fruits of Stars of the Origin would draw some attention. Only an ordinary man was off the radar. Minghe was too strong to care about jealousy. Five Cultivators at the Late Stage of the Fate Realm could not harm him at all unless they had treasures like the Four-pole Separation Evil Formation. Otherwise, it would be useless.
One of them stepped forward and said to Minghe, ”My Fellow Taoist, there are not many Heaven and Sky treasure fruits. We all scrambled for them, but you alone got nine. We want five fruits from you as a friendly gift. What do you think about that?”
