“Chu Kuangren, why are you here?!”
The Sword Daoist stared furiously at the White Spiritual Divine Fruit, which was now in Chu Kuangren’s hands.
“I noticed that this place is sealed, so I came to check it out. Lucky me, I never thought I’d bumped into this White Spiritual Divine Fruit.”
Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly and stored the spirit fruit into his Yin and Yang Ring.
The Sword Daoist could not take it any longer. He drew his long sword and struck it at Chu Kuangren in a flash.
His merciless sword Daoist Rhymes unleashed, and the spiritual powers around him converged into a wind blade that swarmed towards Chu Kuangren.
“Wind of the Sword!”
It was a powerful Emperor Technique.
Moreover, it was an Emperor Technique that resonated deeply with the Sword Daoist’s Dao. As such, the power that the Sword Daoist drew surpassed that of most Boundary Emperors.
In response, Chu Kuangren unleashed a ray of sword qi.
The devastating purple sword ray gushed out like a violent torrent. At one go, the Sword Daoist’s sword qi shattered, and he was blasted several hundred meters away.
“I’ve got a little something on my schedule, so I’ll spare your life again this time.”
Chu Kuangren said faintly before he vanished into a sword ray.
“D*mn it! D*mn it!”
The Sword Daoist’s whole body was trembling in anger.
The White Spiritual Divine Fruit was a priceless treasure to the Sword Daoist.
It was a treasure that required meticulous planning ever since his forefather’s times. The Sword Daoist had spent so long pursuing it only to have it taken by Chu Kuangren just like that.
How could he bear such humiliation?
The Sword Daoist screeched in anger. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale.
It seemed like Chu Kuangren had injured him again.
“D*mn it. I’ve used up the Rewind Marrow Pill I brought along. If this goes on, it looks like I won’t be able to use this clone anymore.”
The Sword Daoist looked at the spiritual tree that bore the White Spiritual Divine Fruit.
After the spirit fruit was harvested, the tree had wilted. However, the lake of spirit sap that surrounded it was still there.
The Sword Daoist’s eyes lit up. He immediately walked towards the pool and soaked himself within before mobilizing his spiritual power and absorbing all of the spirit sap into his body.
Under the spirit sap’s nurture, not only did the Sword Daoist’s wound disappear, but he felt his cultivation level increasing as well.
“What a surprising discovery! I didn’t think the spirit sap would have such a property.”
However, his face soon sunk again.
The spirit saps were just the byproducts of the spirit tree. If just the byproducts alone could yield such healing property, just how miraculous would the White Spiritual Divine Fruit be?
At this thought, the Sword Daoist’s heart ached. His hatred towards Chu Kuangren was now amplified.
“Chu Kuangren, I swear on my life that I shall have my revenge!”
He grunted and swore.
“There must be other opportunities in the Enchanted Forest Realm. If I use them wisely, perhaps I could even defeat Chu Kuangren with just a clone!”
“There are still ten days before this realm disappears. I must collect as many valuable items as I can.”
The Sword Daoist took a deep breath and planned for his comeback.
He then left the mountain range along with Jian Changfeng.
In the distance, Chu Kuangren had learned all about the Sword Daoist’s next plan with the help of Jian Changfeng.
“Oh, Sword Daoist, what more surprises do you have for me?”
Chu Kuangren smirked.
“Sect Leader, why didn’t you take the soul sap as well?”
Shang Qingxue asked curiously. She knew Chu Kuangren was not the kind of person who would share his spoils with his enemies.
“The soul saps are of no use to me. So why not let him bask in his joy a little more? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the confidence to fight me.”
Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
Murong Xuan and Shang Qingxue could not help but sympathize with the Sword Daoist.
It was hard not to.
Never mind that he was surrounded by undercovers. Even the Sword Daoist’s confidence was a plot written by Chu Kuangren.
What a pitiful Daoist the Sword Daoist was.
Two days later.
The Sword Daoist was absorbing an Emperor-grade Supreme Elixir into his body.
Suddenly, a wave of majestic aura erupted from his body, spanning several thousands of kilometers across.
“Who would’ve thought I’d found an Emperor-grade Supreme Elixir in this place? After this, this clone’s combat strengths would be as close as it can get to my actual power.”
“Even if it can’t defeat Chu Kuangren, it can surely put on a good fight.”
The Sword Daoist inhaled deeply and said.
“Congratulations, Master Daoist.”
At the side, Jian Changfeng congratulated him.
“We still have a few days left. Who knows what other surprises await us in this Enchanted Forest Realm?”
The Sword Daoist was feeling hopeful.
The Enchanted Forest Realm was indeed a huge Opportunity of Fortune in the Emperor Road. The treasures here far surpassed that of any orthodoxies in the Emperor Road.
In just a few days, the Sword Daoist had benefited from so many Opportunities of Fortune, which would have taken him one hundred years of training just to achieve the same effect.
Boom!
Just then, the ground began to shake.
The Sword Daoist and Jian Changfeng glanced at their surroundings puzzledly.
“What’s going on?”
“This is an intense tremor. Is this happening across all of the Enchanted Forest Realm?”
The Sword Daoist and Jian Changfeng exchanged looks before they levitated into the air.
Indeed, the entire Enchanted Forest Realm was trembling, which dumbfounded many cultivators within it.
“What’s going on? Why’s the realm shaking?”
“What in the heavens is happening?”
“Look, over there…”
One of the cultivators exclaimed.
In the distance, a green pillar shot up into the sky.
The closer to the pillar, the stronger the tremor.
The pillar expanded, forming large fissures in the ground where copious amounts of green mist seeped out of the crevices and clouded the surroundings.
Upon soaking in the green mist, some of the cultivators could feel their entire body loosen up as if all of their soreness and exhaustion had gone away.
The green gas was also imbued with rich spiritual qi that the cultivators could easily convert into spiritual powers.
“This must be a huge Opportunity of Fortune!”
“Oh heavens, just what items could possibly lay within the fissure to be able to emit such a distinctive aura?”
The cultivators stared into fissures, finding it unbelievable.
Up on top of a mountain peak in the distance.
Chu Kuangren grabbed a cloud of green gas and converted it into spiritual power with his Universal Cauldron Physique.
“Hm, interesting. I wonder what lies beneath the massive fissure.”
Chu Kuangren said curiously.
The cultivators in the Enchanted Forest Realm watched as the fissure became larger.
Soon, the green light faded and the content beneath the ground became available for all to see.
It was a fissure that spanned several kilometers deep and up to ten thousand kilometers wide.
Within it laid an array of Supreme Elixirs, divine fruits, and green crystals. Each of them was emitting palpable energy waves.
“T-this is a Spiritual Qi Leyline! A wood-based Spiritual Qi Leyline!”
“So many elixirs and divine fruits! I wonder just how dense the wood spiritual qi is and the number of years it must have taken to produce such items.”
“The ground must have collapsed because it can no longer hold the spiritual qi together! Oh heavens, this is unbelievable.”
