Chapter 325: Fruit of Heaven
Despite being shocked by Jian Yixue's ridiculous increase in strength, Yi Xue calmed down quickly.
She has a strong heart. Maybe she can still be jealous because someone else is better than her, but that won't bother her.
As soon as the banquet was over, Qin Yuan immediately left together with Jian Yixue and Yi Xue. However, they did not return to Shen Lianxiang's residence. Instead, they strolled around, circling the Heaven that could indeed be said to be vast even for an Immortal.
Yi Xue also had never toured Heaven enjoying the trip.
In fact, there were quite a number of people from the Hundred Races here. They were people who were captured or surrendered to Heaven and then given a seal. Even though it was only done by a few people at first, over time they produced many offspring.
Most of them live in desert cities, which although are places with a lot of spiritual energy as well, are considered the lowest places in Heaven.
Qin Yuan and the two women landed beside a river whose water was shallow and full of rocks making it very clear.
At some point, there is a city that is divided in two by the river.
It was a prosperous city with many strong cultivators living in it. Even though this was the territory inhabited by the Hundred Races, there were quite a number of people from other races in this city.
However, prosperity does not mean peace. Quite a lot of fights going on here. From Paragon to Great Emperor.
Qin Yuan came here naturally not without reason.
Deep below this city, there is a lake of lava that is very hot, enough to turn the Giant Epoch to ashes.
It is said that deep beneath that lava lake, there is something extremely extraordinary, able to help a peak Giant Epoch become an Immortal.
It was an item created by the Heaven itself, usually called the Fruit of Heaven though it took on a different shape. The quality really can not be doubted. Apart from being able to help break through, it also guarantees that your talent will improve drastically.
Some legends say that some Supreme Immortals managed to reach their current level because when they became Immortals, they broke through using the Fruit of Heaven.
But of course, obtaining the Fruit of Heaven was more difficult than becoming an Immortal itself. Many eventually died for choosing this path.
You may wonder why the Immortals don't try to take the remaining the Fruits of Heaven.
However, apparently it wasn't that easy as Heaven also had its own rules as an artifact, something that even its controllers couldn't easily violate.
The problem; whether it was the Holy Heaven and the Immortals were not completely the masters of Heaven. They are just a group of people controlling it together.
Some Immortal who tried to take the the Fruit of Heaven always ended badly. The worst was being visited by the Lightning Dragon, the Guardian of Heaven.
That's an old story. In today's era, no one dares to do it anymore.
Qin Yuan and the two women entered the city in a simple manner. Because this is in the desert, desert culture is very thick. The men wore long robes and turbans on their heads while the women wore long loose dresses, looking demure and elegant. Of course, the main purpose of their clothing was to withstand the desert heat which was uncomfortable even for cultivators.
However, despite walking casually, Qin Yuan and the two women didn't stop at any place. They continued walking until they reached a certain area where there was a hole that wasn't too big but red light was emitting from it.
Quite a number of people were surrounding the hole, looking down with serious expressions.
They didn't plan to enter the hole, but sometimes there were always things to enlighten them. With luck, even the Epoch Giants could break through.
Only, when he arrived there, Qin Yuan heard some people talking about the Heaven King who had just entered the hole.
He couldn't help but activate his eye power to peer into the hole.
Sure enough, he found the young man in his 15s who he had fought at that time, standing with his eyes closed.
Several thousand meters below, there is a lava lake that is not very big. However, it gets bigger as you go deeper into the lake.
"He will only be a nuisance," Qin Yuan said.
When Jian Yixue and Yi Xue stared at him because of his words, he suddenly stretched his hand into the hole.
The hand enlarged, making the hole even bigger.
The cultivators around were stunned by the sight so they hastily jumped backwards, worrying about accidentally falling into the hole.
Below, the Heaven King had no other choice but to open his eyes. He grew angry from being interrupted, but when he stared at that hand and its mighty aura, he could only grit his teeth.
"Shit!" He cursed, then tried to fly towards the lava lake.
Even though this was Heaven and everyone else was Holy Heaven's slaves, he himself had quite a few enemies, had even provoked a few Immortals, so it wouldn't be strange for him to be targeted by a certain person.
Unfortunately, his flight speed was far below that of that hand.
He had only moved a few meters, but that hand easily pierced through spacetime, appearing right behind him.
With one move, he was caught so he couldn't do anything anymore.
Immediately after that the hand pulled him up until he finally saw who it belonged to.
"F*ck you, what are you doing?" He cursed and asked.
This didn't mean he hated Qin Yuan. Only, ever since the latter had become an Immortal and his reputation had risen drastically, he couldn't help but be annoyed that Qin Yuan was weaker than him in the first place.
And when that man suddenly resonated with the Heavens, he started to get restless and impatient, which was why he was desperate to come here.
"I just don't want you to bother my woman," Qin Yuan replied casually.
After saying that, he threw the young man out of the city.
