Inside the Forest of Demon's Residence, the mountains were shaking. Though their surfaces were cracking from Ling Xian's attacks, they displayed their determination to not retreat.
At the same time, their attacks were getting more and more aggressive. Like a storm, they were extremely aggressive.
However, not only was Ling Xian not flustered, he was even more excited.
The more the mountains fought, the more important it was that they were protecting. It was very possible that the mountains had heavenly powers and were breaking the rules of the five elements.
Therefore, Ling Xian's attacks were even more aggressive. Everything around him was shaking and the mountains were shaking.
However, he didn't kill them. The mountains already had their own consciousness and had no feud with him. There was no need to kill them.
"Get out of my way!"
Ling Xian shouted. His hands moved and the energy of the Dao filled the air. He fought against the mountains.
Following a series of loud rumbles, the mountains were forced back. They found it hard to defend. In the end, they couldn't even maintain their encirclement.
Ling Xian was far too dominating. Like an immortal descending, he was unbelievably brave.
However, the mountains vowed to not retreat. Though their bodies were full of cracks, they did not move an inch.
This made Ling Xian's eyes flash with electricity. He shouted, "If you don't retreat, then don't blame me for starting a massacre!"
Hearing this, nobody responded. The mountains attacked even more aggressively, using their actions to show their determination.
"How troublesome." Ling Xian frowned. Array patterns appeared on his hand and turned into an imprisoning array. In an instant, he locked down a mountain.
Then, more mountains were sealed by him and they couldn't move at all.
However, there were far too many mountains in the Forest of Demon's Residence. It could be described as endless and uncountable.
Though they couldn't win against Ling Xian, they continued to press forward and ignored life and death.
This made Ling Xian feel helpless. Though he wasn't afraid of the sea of people, he didn't want to kill them. Therefore, he had to seal them.
But there were far too many mountains here. Even if he dies of exhaustion, he cannot seal them all.
HOMMM, HOMMM, HOMMM!
The mountain was in a frenzy and continued to push forward. With the determination to fight to the death, they swore to defeat Ling Xian.
Sadly, though they were endless, their battling abilities weren't high and their techniques were simple.
Even the seventh level mountains posed no threat to Ling Xian.
"I can't keep fighting like this. I have to finish them all at once …"
Ling Xian frowned. The seven transformative qualities of the Eyes of Execution circled around his body.
Even though the mountain was boundlessly ferocious, it was still difficult for it to get close. It was shaken to the point of continuously cracking apart as it retreated in a sorry state.
And this was under the condition that he had deliberately held back. Otherwise, it would have been shattered long ago.
"Stop, let him come over."
A faint sigh could be heard, causing the mountains to immediately stop.
Ling Xian also dispersed his Qi and peered into the deep end of the stone forest. His eyes flickered with shock.
His soul had already reached the seventh realm. Under the situation where he released his full power, any movement within a hundred miles would not be able to escape his perception. However, he could not sense the aura of the person who spoke. There were only two possibilities.
For one, the speaker used a special technique. For two, the speaker's capability far surpassed Ling Xian's.
The former was still manageable, but if it was the latter, then it would be troublesome.
"Step down. Let me talk to this person."
The sigh came again. Although the mountains were unwilling, they didn't dare to disobey and obediently opened up a path.
At this, Ling Xian marched forward in giant steps with his head held high.
This made the Undead Cat softly meow. Its meaty paws grabbed onto his shirt, not wanting him to enter.
"It's okay." Ling Xian softly smiled and didn't stop.
For one, he had to enter the forest. For two, he was certain that the person who spoke was not a threat to him.
Perhaps the speaker's cultivation level far surpassed his. But if the speaker could attack, he would've done so a long time ago. There was no need to let him in.
Therefore, Ling Xian marched forward calmly. Finally, he saw an extremely grand mountain peak.
It stood proudly on the ground, tall and straight. Just like the king of the mountain, it looked down on the others.
Its Qi was as deep as the ocean. Even if Ling Xian tried to check it out, he wouldn't be able to tell.
However, he was sure of two things. One, its cultivation level far surpassed his. Two, it was heavily injured and couldn't attack.
"You wanted me to come in for a while?" Ling Xian asked. He carefully searched around with his Qi but didn't find anything special.
"That's right. I am the ruler of this place." Ju Shan spoke, "Human, I don't want to fight. You should leave."
"I haven't achieved my goal. I cannot leave." Ling Xian shook his head.
"Tell me why you are here. If possible, I don't mind taking a step back." Ju Shan softly sighed.
"I want the Spiritual Fruit of the Way." Ling Xian spoke in a low voice. His eyes were full of hope.
"So you are here for the Fruit of the Holy Way …" Ju Shan softly sighed, full of helplessness.
This made Ling Xian's eyes brighten. His hope turned into passion.
He wasn't sure if the Mountain of Demons had the Fruit of the Holy Way or not. But Ju Shan's words were clearly telling him that the Fruit of the Holy Way exists here.
"Human, you are very lucky and very unlucky."
"If this was three years ago, I would've thrown you out without mercy. I would've even killed you."
"But now, I am willing to give you the Fruit of the Holy Way."
Ju Shan sighed. Other than helplessness, there was also some sadness.
This made Ling Xian frown, "Something happened to the Fruit of the Holy Way?"
"That's right. A thousand years ago, the Forest of Demons was unknown and was never named after it. It was merely a normal forest."
"It was the appearance of the Fruit of the Holy Way that gave the mountain sentience and spiritual energy."
"However, three years ago, the Fruit of the Holy Way withered. I tried everything I could, even transferring my Qi to it, to no avail."
Ju Shan sighed. Everyone could hear his sadness and helplessness.
"In other words, the Fruit of the Holy Way is now dead."
Ling Xian's brows were tightly locked together. He didn't think this would be the result.
"That's right. The reason why I am so weak is because I have been transferring my Qi to the Fruit of the Holy Way nonstop. But it's been three years and the Fruit of the Holy Way hasn't improved at all." Ju Shan spoke, revealing his fatigue.
"No wonder you were willing to give it to me. But what's the use of a dead Fruit of the Holy Way?" Ling Xian bitterly smiled.
"Maybe it's useless. Maybe it's useful."
"Because of the restriction, I cannot leave the Forest of Demons. But you can."
"Maybe you can find a way to regenerate the Fruit of the Holy Way."
Ju Shan spoke in a low voice, full of hope.
To others, the Fruit of the Holy Way was a lifeless object and had no emotions. But to these rocks, the Fruit of the Holy Way was their parent.
Without it, they wouldn't be sentient.
"I understand. Give me the Fruit of the Holy Way."
Ling Xian softly sighed. No matter if the Fruit of the Holy Way withered or not, it was a ray of hope. He had to take it with him.
"I hope you can find a way to revive it."
The giant mountain opened its mouth and the bottom split open, revealing a dim, wrinkled fruit.
It was lifeless and devoid of moisture. It was obvious that it had completely withered.
This surprised Ling Xian. Because the Essence of Herbalism had given him information about this fruit.
The Fruit of the Holy Way could transform mountains, rocks, and trees into spiritual energy. It was the number one spiritual medicine after the immortal medicine.
This simple statement had proven how heaven-defying this fruit was. Naturally, Ling Xian was surprised.
At the same time, he bitterly smiled, unsure if he should be happy or worried.
Acquiring the Fruit of the Holy Way was supposed to be a joyous event. But now that it had withered, it was useless.
However, this was a ray of hope.
