Late at night.
Ye Chen stood on a peak and looked into the distance under the cover of the night.
What he saw was a boundless sea of clouds. Countless mountain peaks were faintly discernible in the clouds, as if it was a paradise on earth.
"This is the Spirit Fog Island!"
A hint of passion flashed through 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 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 stepped into the air and headed deeper into the Spirit Fog Island.
"Buzz …"
His body had only taken a few dozen steps when he felt a huge rebounding force coming at him, as if he had hit an invisible barrier.
"Formation?"
Ye Chen could not be more familiar with this scene.
Clearly, the City Governor's Mansion, who was in charge of 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 and lifted his hand. As a dark light flashed, an invisible formation pattern condensed in his hand.
"Break!"
He grabbed at the formation in front of him, and a gap was forcefully torn open in the invisible formation barrier.
The gap could allow one person to enter and exit freely. Most importantly, Ye Chen did not destroy the formation. After all, under his Divine Consciousness, he could sense that there were experts from the City Governor's Mansion guarding the periphery of the Spirit Fog Island. There was a venerable stage powerhouse present.
Although killing a venerable stage powerhouse was like killing a chicken to him, the City Governor's Mansion would definitely notice once he killed him. By then, there might be complications.
"Let's go!"
With a thought, Ye Chen quickly shot into the gap in the formation that he had torn open. After he passed through, the gap in the formation closed again.
In a residence on the outskirts of the Spirit Fog Island, a few people in the City Governor's Mansion's attire sat together, drunk.
One of them reeked of alcohol, "Second Master, it's not that I'm talking nonsense, but the Spirit Fog Island is protected by the formation set up by Master Hao. There's no need for us to guard this place."
"That's right, that's right. Look at how things are now. The other brothers are eating and drinking well in the city, while the few of us, along with Second Master, are sitting here in the wilderness."
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
A middle-aged man dressed in a commander's uniform looked down at them. "The Martial Gathering is coming, the Spirit Fog Island must not be lost. This is Grandmaster Hao's order. You and I must not slack off!"
Most of the others instantly sobered up when they heard this. Because it was the City Governor's Estate's Commander, Situ Lei, and he was the younger brother of the City Governor, Situ Yun. His status was merely inferior to Situ Yun, and he was the second Exalt Realm expert in the City Governor's Estate.
One of them said weakly, "Second Master, I just went to the city to get some wine. Guess what I heard? I heard that the young mistress of the King Mu Fort is about to get married. "
Situ Lei's eyes were cold when he heard this: "What?"
"Second Master, I heard it with my own ears. Every word I said is true …" The man shivered for a moment before telling him everything he had heard.
"Bastard, King Mu is indeed cunning!"
A cold gleam shot out of Situ Lei's eyes, "He actually chose a piece of trash as his son-in-law. Does he think he'll be fine just like that? When the spirit herb that Grandmaster Hao designated matures, it'll be the end of your King Mu Fort! "
How could he not covet the No. 1 beauty of the Tianfeng sea area, Mu Caiwei? However, because the City Governor's Mansion was afraid of the might of the King Mu Fort, he did not dare to show it.
Now that he heard that Mu Caiwei was about to get married, how could he not be furious?
…
The Spirit Fog Peak was the largest and most majestic mountain on the Spirit Fog Island. It was also the mountain with the most abundant spiritual energy. The mountain was tens of thousands of feet tall and pierced into the clouds. It was surrounded by clouds all year round.
"This is the place!"
Ye Chen leaped onto the Spirit Fog Peak and enveloped it with his Divine Consciousness. He sensed the spirit herbs on the Spirit Fog Peak one by one.
"Strange, why isn't there the aura of the Earth Immortal Fruit?"
A few seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes, "Could Li Xuanji's map be wrong?
"No, Li Xuanji has never been to the Ancient Desolate Realm. It's impossible for him to fake that map!"
Ye Chen shook his head lightly and released his Divine Consciousness to search his surroundings again. This time, he finally realized that something was amiss. It turned out that there was a 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 Spirit Fog Peak. This place was the same as other places. There was nothing unusual about it. If he was not careful, he might have missed it.
"It's a grade-3 formation, the Aura Concealing Formation. Looks like there's a Mystique Master behind the City Governor's Mansion. He should be a grade-3 Mystique Master!"
Ye Chen's eyes flickered a few times. Subsequently, he broke through the formation silently. What he saw was a pool, and there was a water lily around the pool.
The water lily was about the size of a stone mill, and there was a golden apricot-shaped fruit in the center. The fruit faintly emitted a faint golden fruit fragrance in the night.
"It really is an Earth Immortal Fruit!"
Joy flashed through Ye Chen's eyes. He moved and landed next to the water lily immediately. He sized up the fruit at a close distance.
After confirming that it was an Earth Immortal Fruit, Ye Chen was a little disappointed, "It's a pity that it hasn't ripened yet. However, judging from its color, it'll ripen in the next few days!"
The Earth Immortal Fruit was the root of the earth!
If it was not ripe yet, it would turn into powder in an instant. It would even burrow into the soil when it touched the soil, making it difficult to catch.
Moreover, there was no moonlight in the Ancient Desolate Realm tonight. Even if he wanted to use the Immortal Drift Bottle, he could not. After all, the Immortal Drift Bottle could only produce the mysterious green liquid on its own on a full moon.
While Ye Chen was sizing up the water lily, the water lily was also trembling slightly.
The water lily was also trembling slightly. A few seconds later, two furious roars came from the water. As two huge waves surged out, two giant beasts, one black and one white, broke out of the water and attacked Ye Chen one after another.
When he focused, he saw that they were two giant loaches. Clearly, they were the Earth Immortal Fruit's spiritual beasts.
"Evil creature, how dare you be so fierce?!"
Ye Chen was not surprised by that at all. He grabbed at the air, and the entire space trembled.
The two giant loaches only felt a terrifying pressure coming at them. They immediately stopped moving in the air, but their eyes were filled with fear.
"They actually have a trace of the Dragon Chimera'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 Chimera. It was extremely ferocious and specialized in eating dragon liver and gall. It was the dragon race's natural nemesis.
The two loaches in front of him had a trace of the Dragon Chimera's bloodline in their bodies, so they cultivated to mastery-stage Spirit Assembly here.
Ye Chen's eyes turned cold. He grabbed at the two giant loaches through the air, "Even so, if you dare to offend me, you'll die!"
At this moment, a childish voice rang in his ears, "Bad … bad guy, don't … don't kill them!"
