"Soldiers, you have followed the wrong person."
Ling Xian softly sighed. The reason why he said this was because Ao Tian betrayed the universe and also because from his perspective.
At the universe's most dangerous moment, as one of the five Sky Rulers, not only did Ao Tian not fight, he betrayed the universe.
Perhaps the dead soldier didn't think he followed the wrong person, but to him, someone who betrayed the universe had no right to be respected.
Huang Xuan, Fu Long, Wu Dao, and Fa Shi, these four Sky Rulers were the true heroes.
"Ao Tian, just what kind of person are you?" Ling Xian mumbled to himself. He didn't understand Ao Tian, he only knew that this person's battling abilities were heaven-defying.
This could be seen from the arrays.
Using marks of Dao to create four spirits wasn't much, but to create four Sky Rulers was as difficult as climbing up to the sky. In the entire history of time, perhaps only Ao Tian could do this.
"Ao Tian is a perfect person."
"He is righteous, brave, powerful, handsome, and talented."
"One could say that he is the most perfect person in the world. His only blemish is that he betrayed the universe."
The towering ancient tree spoke in the human language. Its branches swayed and its leaves rustled and fell.
Hearing what the ancient tree was saying, Ling Xian frowned, a little surprised.
His spiritual sense was sharp. The moment he stepped into the cemetery, he saw that the ancient tree had spirituality and was only one step away from becoming a spirit.
What surprised him was the evaluation the towering ancient tree had for Immortal King Aotian.
He could understand how powerful he was, but he couldn't understand how righteous he was.
Righteous people protect the universe, why would they join the foreign lands?
"I don't know why Ao Tian betrayed the universe either."
"During that war, I fell into a deep slumber because of my injuries. When I woke up, the world was talking about how Ao Tian betrayed the universe."
"Then, Ao Tian disappeared. Some said he died in the hands of the Four Sky Rulers, others said he went to the foreign lands."
Seeing Ling Xian's confusion, the ancient tree softly sighed, "It's all in the past, let's not talk about it."
Then, it shook its branches. Its leaves glowed and condensed into a golden fruit.
Dao marks covered the skies, divine multicolored light dazzling. The golden fruit floated in midair like a small sun, its radiance illuminating all directions.
"Over the course of countless years, you are the only one to enter the Immortal Mansion."
The ancient tree said gently, "According to Immortal King Ao Tian's instructions, you can obtain a Dao Fruit."
"What are the uses of this fruit?" Ling Xian's gaze froze. He could only tell that the golden fruit was extraordinary, but he couldn't tell what its effects were.
"It takes a hundred thousand years for a Dao fruit to bloom, a hundred thousand years to bear fruit, and a hundred thousand years to mature."
"In other words, there is only one Dao fruit every three hundred thousand years."
"It has three main effects. The first is to extend one's lifespan by ten thousand years, the second is to reach the pinnacle realm, and the third is to break through."
The ancient tree smiled faintly and said, "With your cultivation, you can reach the peak of the ninth level after consuming this fruit. You can also become a supreme."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's eyes heated up and his breathing hastened.
The miraculous effects of the Dao Fruit were simply too astonishing. Let's talk about the first one, extending one's lifespan by ten thousand years.
The Immortal of Alchemy's Inheritance had too many recipes to extend one's life, but the best one could only extend one's life by five thousand years.
It was not an exaggeration to say that in terms of prolonging one's life, Dao Fruits were probably only inferior to immortal medicines.
As for the second miraculous effect, reaching the pinnacle realm.
The undefeatable realm is the prerequisite to being undefeatable. Especially the ninth undefeatable realm. Once reached, there will be a heaven-defying transformation.
Since the ancient times, all cultivators have nine undefeatable realms. It wasn't hard to imagine how important the ninth undefeatable realm was.
When he first stepped into the ninth level, Ling Xian wanted to reach the undefeatable realm. Sadly, the peak of the sage realm was far too difficult to reach. Until now, he hasn't succeeded.
Now that the ancient tree's fruit could help him reach the peak of the sage realm, why wouldn't he be excited?
The third miraculous effect was also shocking. It could help Ling Xian step into the supreme realm that countless spiritual beings dream of and become a top figure in the universe!
With three miraculous effects, the Dao Fruit was heaven-defying!
"No wonder it takes 100,000 years to bloom, 100,000 years to bear fruit, and 100,000 years to mature. The effects of the Dao Fruit are far too shocking."
Staring at the golden fruit, Ling Xian's eyes were heated. He wanted so badly to eat this fruit right now.
"Treasures are given to the fated. Take it." The ancient tree swayed and the fruit shone.
"You are really giving it to me? The miraculous effects of the Dao Fruit are each more shocking than the last. You are willing to give it to me? "Ling Xian calmed down, afraid that the ancient tree was tricking him.
"First of all, I have spirituality but not spirituality. The Dao Fruit is useless to me."
"Second of all, this is Immortal King Ao Tian's will. I will not disobey it."
The ancient tree said gently, "Young man, I have no reason to harm you. Do not worry."
"I believe you." Ling Xian softly smiled. He had never met the ancient tree before and there was no conflict of interest between them. Why would it harm him?
He had also investigated and found out that the Dao Fruit was beneficial to him and not harmful.
"Remember, the Dao Fruit ripens in half a year. Do not eat it now." The ancient tree warned.
"Half a year?" Ling Xian was a little startled. He thought the Dao Fruit had ripened already. He didn't think there would be half a year left.
This wasn't a big deal. To cultivators, half a year is like the flick of a finger.
Thinking about how in half a year, he will reach the peak of the ninth level and become a supreme being, Ling Xian's heart burned with anticipation.
"That's right. Once the Dao Fruit ripens, it can only last for two years. You have to eat it within two years."
"Or else the Dao Fruit will disappear and the first two fruits would have been wasted."
The ancient tree sighed regretfully. Ever since it was born, it had produced three Dao Fruits.
Sadly, it could not consume them. After all these years, nobody has entered the palace.
"I will remember. In half a year, I will consume the Dao Fruit."
Ling Xian softly grinned and stored the Dao Fruit into a jade box. He then placed it into his storage pouch, "To repay you, I will help you achieve spirituality."
"Achieve spirituality?" The ancient tree was startled. It was obvious that it was surprised.
Achieving spirituality was not an easy task. It had lived for millions of years and was still half a step away from it.
"I have a technique that can turn living beings into sentient beings."
"If it is close to achieving spirituality, then it can transform."
Ling Xian softly grinned. The Valley Spirit was the same as the ancient tree. It was only half a step away from becoming a spirit.
Under the influence of the technique, the Valley Spirit was able to transform. Therefore, he was certain that he could turn the ancient tree into a spirit.
"Are you serious?" The ancient tree was excited. Transforming into a spirit meant that it could leave the palace. Why wouldn't it be excited?
"You will know after you try." Ling Xian softly grinned. He formed a hand seal and a mysterious force surrounded the ancient tree.
The branches shook, the leaves fluttered, and the ancient tree was bathed in heavenly light.
Half an hour later, the ancient tree disappeared. In its place was a sage-like elder.
His white robe was fluttering in the wind. His eyes were deep and full of wisdom and vicissitudes.
"I am free. I am free." The Tree Spirit laughed out loud, unable to control himself.
To any living being, to have sentience without freedom was the most torturous thing in the world.
The Tree Spirit had suffered for millions of years. Why wouldn't he be excited?
"Congratulations on becoming a spirit." Ling Xian grinned. He didn't want to owe anyone favors. Turning the Tree Spirit into a spirit was a way of returning the favor.
"Thank you, young friend. If it weren't for you, I would've had to suffer for tens of thousands of years to become a spirit." The Tree Spirit bowed down to Ling Xian.
