Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 793: Chapter 504: Divine Fruit, Energy Disturbance! (Double Chapter)

Inside the Black Mountain, a spatial anomaly occurs, creating a whirlwind in place.

Immediately, a Light Gate appears out of thin air, and Situ Ming steps out.

”It’s right here, my lord!” the Xuwei Demon says from the side.

Situ Ming looks at the ground, a lush green meadow, with even a cluster of flowers nearby.

This natural scene, perhaps ordinary in the outside world, leaves Situ Ming taken aback, instinctively thinking he has been sent out of the Celestial Ruins Secret Realm.

Everywhere else in the Celestial Ruins Realm appears lifeless and anciently desolate, yet this place is vibrant, lush with flowers, even the Spiritual Qi here is higher than other parts of the Celestial Ruins Realm.

The contrasting imagery does indeed give Situ Ming that impression.

On top of that, the sunlight is bright, akin to early spring, with not a trace of gloom.

Situ Ming can’t help but look up at the sky, where there are still no sun, moon, or stars, yet the sunlight spills over, illuminating the scenery within this ring shaped mountain.

”Is that the Divine Tree you mentioned?”

Situ Ming’s gaze is quickly drawn to a gigantic object in the distance.

It’s a colossal tree towering over a thousand feet, surrounded by Spiritual Mist, its lush branches spreading out, exuding a dense green aura.

Even though far apart, the sheer size of the tree allows Situ Ming to perceive its presence.

The Black Mountain remains behind him, making Situ Ming unable to fathom how such a massive wood could grow within the Celestial Ruins Realm.

Indeed, it’s a divine sight, this tree truly deserves the title of Divine Tree.

”Yes, that’s correct.” the Xuwei Demon nods, calming down slightly.

No matter what, he knows he is still valuable now; if Situ Ming wants to leave here, he needs him to open the Light Gate Passage, hence his life is still protected for now.

Situ Ming won’t let him die here easily.

Walking forward, Situ Ming asks while advancing.

”Tell me, what was the situation with the Divine Tree here the last time you saw it?”

”Though there’s vitality here, no living things persist, and nothing dangerous occurred last time; as for that Divine Tree, blooms and fruits grew, yet when last seen, they weren’t ripe, so I intended to come again to take a look...” the Xuwei Demon explained truthfully.

His thoughts were simple; if this truly is a Divine Tree, then the fruits it bears would naturally be supreme treasures of the world, likely of infinite value and immeasurable worth.

The Xuwei Demon wouldn’t forget that even though entering the Celestial Ruins Realm was somewhat risky this time, he wanted to explore and see the Divine Tree again, and if he could pluck a fruit from the tree, it would be a great thing.

Unfortunately, now that the secret is exposed, even if the Divine Fruit ripens and could be picked, it certainly wouldn’t be by him, a mere Xuwei Demon.

”Divine Fruit, huh...” Situ Ming mused.

Across the Nine Provinces, exotic flowers and fruits are abundant and diverse in the natural world, all categorized as Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Among them, there’s no shortage of claims of Divine Trees and Divine Fruits, but compared to the gigantic tree before his eyes, most of those names for Divine Trees do not live up to their reputation.

”If this tree bears fruit, eating it, who knows what effect it might have...” Situ Ming thought.

”Previously, you mentioned there’s a Barrier outside the Divine Tree, couldn’t you break through with the treasure?” Situ Ming suddenly asked.

”Absolutely true, my lord, my life is in your hands, I dare not deceive you even a bit!” Seeing Situ Ming’s gaze, the Xuwei Demon, frightened, hastily replied.

This time, Situ Ming didn’t say anything, but it made the Xuwei Demon’s initially calm heart feel anxious again.

With a wave of his hand, Situ Ming envelops the Xuwei Demon with Master’s Power, accelerating as they passed over a field of flowers and grass, stirring up a storm.

The Divine Tree rapidly enlarges before their eyes, until it occupies their entire field of vision.

On the Divine Tree, within the cluster of lush branches and leaves, each flower blooms with unique brilliance, and many large fruits hang down.

The fruits resemble apples somewhat, but their surfaces are crystal clear, looking as if crafted from bright crystals.

Just observing from afar, these Exotic Fruits already appear extraordinary. ℯ

However, the actual number of Exotic Fruits isn’t large, especially with the massive tree in contrast, appearing even scarcer; from Situ Ming’s perspective, only twenty to thirty can be found after taking a glance around.

”This is it! The fruits are about to ripen!” Seeing the past unripe fruits, now becoming vibrant and dripping, the Xuwei Demon instinctively feels joy, but then shakes his head, feeling bitter inside.

Whether the Divine Fruit ripens now has no relation to him.

Soon, Situ Ming reaches the Barrier, one kilometer away from the Divine Tree.

A layer of floating light sparkles with energy flowing above it, allowing only slight Spiritual Qi to weave in and out of this light layer.

Situ Ming flicks his hand, directing a bit of Power onto the floating light.

In the next moment, Power twice as strong gets reflected back, which Situ Ming disperses with a single blow.

”It can provide strong counterattack...” Situ Ming realizes, avoiding rash attempts.

If he attacked with full force, and this Barrier returned power twice as strong, even with his strong physique, he wouldn’t easily withstand it.

”Not a Talisman Array...”

He observes the Barrier’s lack of Runes appearing and no trace of special energy flow, clearly unrelated to the Human Race’s Talisman Arrays.

How this Barrier formed remains unknown for now...

As Situ Ming observes and inspects the Divine Tree before him, on the other side of the tree, outside the Barrier.
