Late at night, Ye Chen stood on a peak and looked into the distance under the night sky.
What entered his eyes was a boundless sea of clouds. Countless mountains were faintly discernible in the clouds, like a paradise on earth.
“This is the Spirit Fog Island!”
Fire flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes as he mumbled, “If there’s nothing wrong with Li Xuanji’s map, the Earth Immortal Fruit is on this island!”
Once he obtained the Earth Immortal Fruit, he would definitely be able to refine the Qi Repair Pill. By then, his parents and Second Uncle’s family would have the qualifications to step into cultivation!
Ye Chen did not hesitate anymore as he thought to this point. He charged into the depths of the Spirit Fog Island through the air.
Buzz…
He had just taken a few dozen steps when he felt a huge rebound hit him, like he had crashed into some invisible barrier.
“A formation?”
Ye Chen was extremely familiar with that scene.
It was very obvious that the City Governor’s Mansion, who was responsible for guarding the Spirit Fog Island, had set up a formation around the island to prevent outsiders from entering.
“How can a mere grade-3 formation stop me?!”
Ye Chen scoffed. He lifted his hand and waved. As a dark light flashed, an invisible power of formation pattern condensed in his hand.
“Break!”
He grabbed at the formation before him, and a hole was torn through the invisible barrier.
The gap allowed one person to enter and exit freely. Most importantly, Ye Chen did not destroy the formation. After all, he could sense with his Divine Consciousness that there was a powerhouse from the City Governor’s Mansion guarding the periphery of Spirit Fog Island. There was a venerable stage powerhouse there.
Although venerable stage powerhouses were like chickens to him, the City Governor’s Mansion would definitely sense it once he killed them. By then, it would probably cause trouble.
“Go!”
With a thought, Ye Chen shot into the gap of the formation that he had torn open quickly. The gap closed again after he passed through it.
Within a residence on the outskirts of the Spirit Fog Island, a few people dressed in the City Governor’s Mansion’s attire were sitting together, completely drunk.
One of them reeked of alcohol, “Second Master, it’s not that I intend to spout nonsense. The Spirit Fog Island is protected by Master Hao’s formation. There’s no need for us to stand guard here.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Now, the brothers are enjoying themselves in the city. The few of us, along with Second Master, are sitting in the wilderness.”
“What nonsense are you guys spouting?”
A middle-aged man in a commander’s uniform looked at them with a serious look in his eyes, “The martial gathering is coming, and we cannot afford to lose the Spirit Fog Island. This is Master Hao’s order. We can’t slack off at all!”
Everyone instantly sobered up when they heard that as Situ Lei was the commander of the City Governor’s Mansion, and he was the younger brother of the City Governor, Situ Yun. His status was only inferior to Situ Yun, and he was the second venerable stage powerhouse in the City Governor’s Mansion.
One of them said weakly, “Second Master, I was drinking in the city earlier. Guess what I heard? I heard that King Mu’s eldest daughter is getting married.”
Situ Lei’s eyes turned cold, “What?”
“Second Master, I heard it with my own ears. Everything I said is true…” The man shivered at first and then told him everything he had heard.
“Bastard! King Mu is really cunning!”
A cold gleam shot out from Situ Lei’s eyes, “You actually chose a piece of trash as your son-in-law. Do you think that everything will be over just like that? Once the spirit medicine that Master Hao has chosen matures, it will be the end of your King Mu Fort!”
How could he not covet Mu Caiwei, the No. 1 beauty of Tianfeng sea area? However, the City Governor’s Mansion was afraid of the might of the King Mu Fort, so he did not dare to reveal it.
Now that he heard that Mu Caiwei was getting married, how could he not be mad?
…
Spirit Fog Peak was the largest and most majestic mountain peak on the Spirit Fog Island. It was also the mountain peak with the most abundant spiritual energy. The mountain peak was tens of thousands of feet tall and pierced straight into the clouds. It was always surrounded by clouds and fog.
“This is it!”
Ye Chen leaped onto the Spirit Fog Peak and covered it with his Divine Consciousness. He sensed the spirit medicines on the peak one by one.
“Strange, why is there no aura of the Earth Immortal Fruit?”
A few seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes. There was a flash of confusion in his eyes, “Could there be a mistake with Li Xuanji’s map?
“That’s not right. Li Xuanji has never been to the Ancient Desolate Realm. He couldn’t have faked that map!”
Ye Chen shook his head lightly and unleashed his Divine Consciousness to search his surroundings again. He finally realized that something was wrong. There was the faint aura of a formation in the southeast corner.
“Someone actually set up a formation!”
Ye Chen moved and appeared at the southeast corner of the peak of the Spirit Fog Peak. There was nothing out of the ordinary there like other places. If he was not attentive, he might have overlooked it.
“It’s even a grade-3 formation, the Aura-concealing Formation. Looks like there’s a Mystic Master behind the City Governor’s Mansion. This person should be a grade-3 Mystic Master!”
Ye Chen’s eyes flickered a few times. Subsequently, he broke through the formation silently. A pond entered his sight, and there was a water lily around the pond.
The water lily was about the size of a millstone. In the middle of it was a golden fruit that was shaped like an almond. The fruit emitted a faint golden fruit fragrance in the night sky.
“It really is the Earth Immortal Fruit!”
Joy flashed through Ye Chen’s eyes. He moved and landed next to the water lily immediately. He observed the fruit at close range.
After confirming that it was the Earth Immortal Fruit, Ye Chen was a little disappointed, “Unfortunately, it’s not ripe yet. However, judging from its color, it should be within these few days!”
The Earth Immortal Fruit was the root of the earth!
Before it matured, it would be reduced to dust in an instant. It would even burrow into the soil, making it very difficult to be captured.
Moreover, there was no moonlight tonight in the Ancient Desolate Realm. Even if he wanted to use the Immortal Drift Bottle, it was impossible. After all, the Immortal Drift Bottle could only produce the mysterious green liquid on its own on the night of the full moon.
While Ye Chen was sizing up the water lily, it was shaking slightly as well. A few seconds later, two roars came from the water. As two huge waves surged, two giant beasts, one black and one white, broke out of the water and attacked Ye Chen one after another.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that they were two giant loaches. They were obviously the Earth Immortal Fruit’s Spirit Beast Guardians.
“Evil creature, how dare you act viciously?!”
Ye Chen was not surprised by that at all. He grabbed at the air and the entire space shook.
The two giant loaches only felt a terrifying pressure coming at them. They instantly stopped moving in the air, their eyes filled with fear.
“They actually have a trace of the Dragon-eating Loach’s bloodline!”
Surprise flashed through Ye Chen’s eyes.
There were ten ferocious beasts in the cultivation world. One of them was called the Dragon-eating Loach. It was extremely ferocious and specialized in eating dragons’ liver and gallbladder. It was the natural nemesis of dragons.
The two loaches in front of him possessed a trace of the Dragon-eating Loach’s bloodline, which was why they were able to cultivate to mastery-stage Spirit Assembly.
Ye Chen’s gaze turned cold as he grabbed the two giant loaches across the air, “Even so, you’ll die if you dare to offend me!”
At that moment, he heard a childish voice, “B-Bad guy, d-don’t kill them!”
