Jianchen took a deep breath and stopped thinking about these headache-inducing problems. He only hoped that if things really developed like that, he would have enough power to stop it.
He did not ask Tie Ta about the future. The world was constantly changing. Who could say for sure what would happen in the future? Perhaps something that he agreed to today would suddenly change the next day.
Jianchen stood on a short peak and stared in the direction of the Lunisolar Cave for a while. He sighed gently and said, "Let's go back."
Tie Ta had a simple and honest personality. He did not notice the trace of worry on Jianchen's face. He excitedly chatted and laughed with Jianchen as he made his way out of Dragon Island.
"Jianchen, my strength has increased greatly this time. Say, do you think I don't need to be locked up in Mercenary City by senior Tian Jian anymore …"
"Jianchen, how powerful are the ten protector clans? Do I have the ability to contend against them with my current strength …"
"Once we get out, I need to go home first. It's been so many years since I last went back. I miss home …"
Tie Ta had completely forgotten about his sorrow. The pain from Ruijin's death was rapidly fading away, allowing Tie Ta to return to his former self.
Jianchen, Tie Ta, and Black Fish left Dragon Island without any reluctance. They reappeared in the outside world.
"Jianchen!" A cold and magnetic voice suddenly rang out. The Sea Goddess' illusory body suddenly appeared in the void. Her face was hazy, as if there was a layer of mist separating it from her face, making it impossible to see her clearly.
"Greetings to Her Majesty Poseidon," Jianchen was slightly surprised and immediately clasped his hands towards Poseidon.
"Greetings to senior," Black Fish and Tie Ta did not dare to be careless. They politely bowed towards Poseidon.
Poseidon did not even glance at Black Fish. She looked at Tie Ta for a while before looking back at Jianchen. She said, "The Saints' Fruit of the Death Nest has reappeared. This fruit has the fortune of the world and can allow people to break through to the level of Holy Emperor. It takes ten thousand years to germinate, ten thousand years to bloom, ten thousand years to bear fruit, and ten thousand years to ripen. Only one fruit ripens every forty thousand years. Each time it ripens, it can only exist for three months. After three months, it will vanish from the world. the Saints' Fruit is about to ripen, so you cannot miss it."
"What? The Saints' Fruit that can allow people to become Holy Emperor? There's actually a fruit like that in the world?" Jianchen, Tie Ta, and Tie Ta were shocked. Disbelief flooded their faces. If it had not come from Poseidon, they would have never believed it even if they were beaten to death.
A single fruit could actually allow someone to become a Saint Emperor. This was just too ridiculous. Even heavenly resources that were over a hundred thousand years old would not possess such great effects.
"The existence of the Saints' Fruit is a secret on the Tian Yuan Continent. Only a few ancient clans know about it, but every time it appears, it will raise the attention of various large organizations. Even Holy Emperor experts have once taken part in the struggle for it," Poseidon said.
Jianchen immediately became stern. He said, "Your majesty Poseidon, may I ask where the Saints' Fruit grows in the Death Nest? Do you have an exact location?"
"It's in the very depths of the Death Nest. It's extremely dangerous there, so you have to be careful. Even Holy Emperor experts can die there," Poseidon said.
"What? Even Holy Emperor experts can die there?" Jianchen and Black Fish were shocked. They found this to be extremely unbelievable.
"The Death Nest is a burial ground of the ancient battlefield. In the ancient times, many experts from the humans, magical beasts, and Hundred Races died there during the great war between the three races. The ground there was once dyed red with blood, turning into mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Resentment filled the air, and there was no lack of Holy Emperor experts among them. Afterwards, the greatest human expert, Mo Tianyun, came to the place and personally cast down an extremely powerful formation to envelop the land. Afterward, he moved all the corpses of the experts of the three races there with his great ability, turning the place into a burial ground. "
"In that age, there were even more Holy Emperor experts than there are Holy Emperor experts today. Countless Holy Emperors fell in battle, and there were countless Holy Emperors and Saint Rulers. With so many corpses buried together, the burial ground of the three races gradually changed. Many vengeful spirits and death curses appeared, turning into a dangerous place on the Tian Yuan Continent in the end, becoming the Death Nest." Poseidon's voice was filled with melancholy. That period of time was just far, far too long ago.
"In other words, the formation of the Death Nest was caused by senior Mo Tianyun alone?" Jianchen was shocked for some reason. He felt admiration for the abilities of the greatest human expert, Mo Tianyun, once again.
The Death Nest was the most dangerous place on the Tian Yuan Continent. He had never thought that Mo Tianyun would be the one responsible for its formation.
Poseidon slowly nodded, "Mo Tianyun's actions are rather strange. Although the corpses of the experts of the three races are piled up like mountains, there's no need for him to deal with them like this. He spent quite a lot of effort to create the Death Nest back then, even using a droplet of his essence blood to water the ground. He definitely has his reasons for doing this. Is it to nurture the Saints' Fruit that can allow people to reach the level of Holy Emperor? " Poseidon's voice was filled with some confusion. He was also very confused by Mo Tianyun's actions.
Jianchen and Black Fish both understood something from Poseidon's words. Their bodies quivered as a sliver of surprise appeared in their eyes. Black Fish softly cried out, "Is the Saints' Fruit in the Death Nest related to the experts who died in battle in ancient times? Are they the ones who formed the Saints' Fruit?"
"Correct. It's a special plant formed from the blood and essence of the corpses of those experts. The Saints' Fruit is called the Saints' Fruit because it can allow people to reach the level of Holy Emperor. Otherwise, it would be called the Demonic Fruit," said Poseidon.
Jianchen was greatly shocked. He had never thought that the Saints' Fruit would be formed in such a manner. It was simply unbelievable.
"The Saints' Fruit contains the essence of the Holy Emperor experts from ancient times as well as the truths of the world from the Holy Emperor level. Saint Rulers are unable to digest it, so only Holy Emperor experts can ingest it. Over a hundred thousand years ago, a human Holy Emperor obtained the Saints' Fruit and gave it to his son who had just reached the level of Holy Emperor. In the end, his son reached the level of Holy Emperor within a hundred years. However, most of the Saints' Fruits were consumed by those who had reached the Great Perfection of the Holy Emperor level but were unable to break through. In the end, all of them reached the level of Holy Emperor except for one person who failed. They even crossed three to five minor levels of cultivation in a row, reaching the Third to Fifth Heavenly Layer of Holy Emperor level. " Poseidon explained. The Saints' Fruit would only appear once every forty thousand years, so she had witnessed over twenty of them in her life. She understood the wondrous effects of the Saints' Fruit better than the ancient protector clans.
"There are countless vengeful spirits in Death's Nest. They're all members of the three clans that died in battle during ancient times. Fortunately, they've been trapped inside by Mo Tianyun's formation. Otherwise, once they escaped, apart from Mercenary City and the sea region that I protect, the entire world would be in trouble."
"The Death Nest is split into three layers. The first layer is filled with vengeful spirits at Saint Ruler level. The second layer is filled with vengeful spirits at Saint Ruler level and Holy Emperor level, so they won't pose much of a threat to you. The third layer is the true danger zone. It's filled with vengeful spirits at Holy Emperor level and Holy Emperor level. There's quite a lot of them, and if you're trapped, even Holy Emperor experts can die. There's also a powerful existence in the depths of the third layer, but it slumbers all year round and rarely wakes up. You have to be careful. The Saints' Fruit grows in the third layer. I've told you everything you need to know. Whether you want to go to the Death Nest or not is up to you, "Poseidon's illusionary figure slowly vanished. He had come and gone without a trace, leaving no traces behind.
Jianchen and Black Fish failed to notice that Poseidon had already left. They were currently thinking about what Poseidon had said at the end. An unbelievable existence was hidden in the depths of the third layer.
"A powerful existence? Is it the peak of Holy Emperor level?" Jianchen said with a heavy voice. He felt rather cold inside. He knew just how powerful the peak Holy Emperor level was. Fairy Haoyue was a very good example. A single formation was enough to trap a group of Holy Emperor level experts. Even Black Fish was unable to shake it.
"Poseidon is an Origin realm expert who has surpassed the Holy Emperor level. If even she says it's a powerful existence, the vengeful spirit must be extraordinary. It must have been a peak Holy Emperor level expert when it was alive," Rui Jin said with a heavy voice. He was stern. The difference in strength between Holy Emperor level experts was extremely great, just like the difference between a Holy Emperor at the First Heavenly Layer and a Holy Emperor at Great Perfection.
"Jianchen, are you going to the Death Nest?" After a moment of silence, Black Fish asked Jianchen.
Jianchen lowered his head in silence. He thought of the grand elder of Mercenary City, Tian Jian. Tian Jian had helped him several times in the past and had shown him great kindness. Now that there was not much time left, it was very difficult for him to break through to Great Perfection and become a Holy Emperor through his own efforts in this generation where Holy Emperor level was difficult.
"I'm going. I have to go." Jianchen's gaze became determined at that moment. Without Tian Jian's assistance in the past, he would not be where he was right now.
"Senior Tian Jian has been silently and selflessly helping me along the way, but I've never done a single thing for senior Tian Jian. So what if I risk my life just to help senior Tian Jian this time?" Jianchen clenched his fists as he became determined.
"Then Old Man will go with you. Let's go see the Death Nest filled with vengeful spirits. Hehe, Old Man has lived for so long, but I've never seen anything like this before," Black Fish smiled.
Afterward, Jianchen entered the artifact space and found Ruijin and Honglian. He told them everything he had learned from Poseidon without hiding anything.
