1139: Chapter 1137: Digging Up the Ascension Divine Tree!
This was a jade-green fruit, crystal clear throughout, just like a green gem!
This is the Ascension Fruit!
After consumption, it could mutate one’s Martial Soul, transcending the Heaven’s Mandate Bellflower.
Lin Bai reached out to pick the Ascension Fruit, curiously examining it a few times!
“Hahaha, how ridiculous, you’ve spent so much effort to come here for the Ascension Fruit.
Yet, you didn’t realize that being a member of the Sky-swallowing Clan, the moment this Ascension Fruit enters your mouth, it will be completely devoured by the Devouring Martial Soul, unable to transcend your fate!”
“You’ve drawn water with a bamboo basket—a futile effort!”
Chang Yun looked at Lin Bai and laughed hysterically.
Hearing Chang Yun’s laughter, Lin Bai nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders and laughed, “It doesn’t matter, although I can’t consume the Ascension Fruit to transcend my fate, I can give it to my friends.”
“My father needs one.”
“My mother needs one.”
“I can also get one for Xiao Xiao…”
“If there are still more left, I can even give one to Jian Ruohan, since she has helped me so much in Martial Intent Mountain…”
“And also…
Ye…”
Lin Bai caught himself before he said the last name, then smiled and said, “Anyway, the more Ascension Fruits, the better, I don’t mind at all!”
Lin Bai then looked toward the dead Old Tree behind Chang Yun!
This Old Tree had died, devoid of any green leaves, with only the scatter of eight jade-green fruits hanging from it!
This Ascension Divine Tree had died from the lack of abundant spirit water irrigation over countless years!
However, it had left behind nine Ascension Fruits, besides the one in Lin Bai’s hand, there were eight more on the tree.
“There are eight more…”
A cold smirk appeared in Lin Bai’s eyes as he stepped forward!
Chang Yun’s expression tensed, and he coldly asked, “Little thing, what are you trying to do?”
Lin Bai sneered, “What am I doing?
Haha, these fruits just sitting here is a waste.
Better for me to take them all!”
Lin Bai’s figure flickered, heading straight for the Ascension Divine Tree.
“Hahaha, this Lin Bai’s nature, really like a little child…” Qinghe saw Lin Bai’s actions and couldn’t help but smile helplessly, “Well, Lin Bai, with the power of my remaining soul, I can’t offer you more fortune!”
“But to stop Chang Yun for you, that I can still do.”
Qinghe’s eyes then turned toward Chang Yun!
Seeing Lin Bai charging over, Chang Yun scoffed disdainfully, “Little thing, even though I am but a remaining soul, killing you is just a thought away.”
“Since you are bent on seeking death, then I will send you to your demise!”
Chang Yun’s face filled with rage, slowly lifting his decaying finger to point at Lin Bai.
A terrifying force immediately blasted towards Lin Bai!
“Chang Yun, you dare to harm a member of my Sky-swallowing Clan in front of me…
are you…
seeking death?” Qinghe’s cold, merciless voice came through.
Hearing Qinghe’s icy voice, Chang Yun’s face trembled, panic showing.
Chang Yun was very aware of Qinghe’s power.
Back when Qinghe was still a remnant soul and Chang Yun at his peak, he couldn’t withstand a single strike from Qinghe’s remnant soul power!
“Since my clan member likes this fruit, let him take it home for decoration.”
“Chang Yun, if you dare act rashly, I will scatter your soul right now!”
Qinghe spoke coldly.
Hearing Qinghe’s voice, Chang Yun reluctantly lowered the finger he had lifted and looked toward Qinghe, his expression showing dread and fear.
Although Chang Yun frequently blustered at Qinghe on normal days, he knew deep down that it was only because Qinghe chose not to bother with him.
But if he really killed Lin Bai and Qinghe decided to take ruthless action, even at his peak, his soul might very well be scattered!
“Damn it!”
Chang Yun cursed under his breath, feeling reluctant.
“Hehe, old scruff.” Lin Bai chuckled coldly, his figure leaping over and landing atop the Divine Tree, swiftly plucking eight Ascension Fruits and stowing them in his Storage Bag.
“Ascension Fruits!
Back then, the Red Immortal Sect spent so much effort to make the Ascension Divine Tree bloom and bear fifteen fruits!”
“Five of those were given to members of the sect who had low Martial Souls but extraordinary talents!”
“And one was given to Yejian Jun!”
“The remaining nine were originally intended to help the Red Immortal Sect rise again, but little did they expect, all would be taken away by this person today!”
Chang Yun gritted his teeth, his Eyes blazing as he glared at Lin Bai, fists clenched as if he wanted to devour him alive.
But Qinghe was watching from the side, and Chang Yun really didn’t dare to lay a hand on Lin Bai!
Chang Yun had more important things to do, to preserve this remnant soul and choose a Sect Leader for the Red Immortal Sect to rise again!
This was the sole mission of his remnant soul!
Chang Yun absolutely couldn’t die until he saw the Red Immortal Sect rise again!
After plucking nine Ascension Fruits, Lin Bai smiled contentedly.
“Little thing, remember, don’t just eat the Ascension Fruits willy-nilly, especially you—they won’t work on you, it’s a waste, just keep them safe.” Chang Yun glared wide-eyed at Lin Bai.
Chang Yun was still thinking inside, wanting Lin Bai to keep the Ascension Fruits, so that later when the Red Immortal Sect rises again, they could send a master to retrieve them from Lin Bai!
“How I arrange these Ascension Fruits is none of your business,” Lin Bai said indifferently.
“You!
Alright, alright, I don’t wish to waste words with you.
Since you have already taken the Ascension Fruits, then just scram.” Chang Yun was infuriated to the point of itching gums.
“Don’t rush.” Lin Bai smiled faintly before turning back to glance at the Ascension Divine Tree!
Seeing Lin Bai’s gaze return to the Ascension Divine Tree, Chang Yun immediately had a bad feeling, “Little thing, what are you planning to do now?”
“Hehe.”
Lin Bai’s eyes whirled around, and he ran under the Ascension Divine Tree, drawing out the Qingge Sword, the Purple Cloud Sword, and the Flying Swords.
The three Swords moved together to uproot the Ascension Divine Tree from the ground!
“You scoundrel!”
“What are you doing!” Chang Yun roared uncontrollably in anger.
“Why are you shouting?
This Ascension Divine Tree is already dead and lying here.
If this continues, it will just rot away.
It’s better to let me take it out and find some suitable spiritual water to bring it back to life!”
“I’ll give it back to the Red Immortal Sect later.”
“Make sure we have an agreement huh, if I manage to revive the Ascension Divine Tree, your Red Immortal Sect must pay me a satisfying fee,” Lin Bai told Chang Yun seriously.
Meanwhile, Lin Bai placed the Ascension Divine Tree into his Storage Bag!
“Ah!” Chang Yun watched dumbfounded as Lin Bai carried away the tree!
The Ascension Divine Tree was gone!
And he talked about reviving it and returning it to the Red Immortal Sect?
Did he think Chang Yun was an idiot?
If you revive the Ascension Divine Tree, could you really return it to the Red Immortal Sect?
And to have the Red Immortal Sect pay you for resurrecting the Ascension Divine Tree!
“This is outrageous!” Chang Yun clenched his fists tightly, his eyes almost popping out in fury, ready to devour Lin Bai!
Even Qinghe, watching the scene unfold, was stunned.
He had thought Lin Bai would be content with the nine Ascension Fruits, but Lin Bai unexpectedly dug up the tree as well!
After taking away the Ascension Divine Tree, Lin Bai lingered in the area for a while longer.
It seemed he was checking if there were any more valuables left.
None!
Except for underwear, all valuables had been taken away by Lin Bai!
“Senior Qinghe, I’m leaving.
I’ll be back within ten years.” Lin Bai bowed to Qinghe, then turned and stepped into the Teleportation Array under Chang Yun’s murderous gaze, leaving the area!
Before leaving, Lin Bai didn’t even glance at Chang Yun!
Carrying the Ascension Divine Tree, he left with flair!
