The chieftains of several Candle Dragon clans, due to the prolonged lifespan of the Candle Dragon race, were actually able to witness the harvest of the Chaos Divine Fruit two or three times.
Only if Lu Changsheng’s cultivation surpassed that of an Immortal Emperor, might he be able to wait until the Chaos Divine Fruit matured.
“If the Ginseng Fruit Ancestral Tree bears fruit only once in such a long time, then hasn’t this tree lived for countless years? It truly is a legacy spanning generations; people depart, but the tree remains.”
Lu Changsheng suddenly realized that perhaps the Ginseng Fruit Ancestral Tree was one of the beings with eternal life.
Within the Inner World of Lu Changsheng’s body, a colossal Divine Tree piercing the heavens appeared, towering ten thousand feet high, casting a shadow that blotted out the sun, with its trunk and branches exuding an aura from the primal chaos of ancient times.
The bark of the Ginseng Fruit Ancestral Tree was covered with cracks.
It seemed to have existed for endless years, witnessing the rise and fall of countless powerful beings.
The Chaos Divine Fruit borne by the Ginseng Fruit Ancestral Tree was a treasure of the twentieth grade.
As for the grade of the Ginseng Fruit Ancestral Tree as a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, no one knew.
Twenty-first grade? Twenty-second grade? Twenty-third grade?
At this point, the grade no longer held any significance, because this was the only Divine Tree in existence between heaven and earth.
In other words, the Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator also couldn’t award a second one.
The sole Ginseng Fruit Ancestral Tree in all of heaven and earth had been sent by the system to the Inner World within Lu Changsheng, and the system could not produce a second one.
Suddenly, the Earth Book within Lu Changsheng’s body reacted.
The Earth Book, discovered in the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court, radiated a yellow glow, expanded rapidly, and transformed into land.
The Ginseng Fruit Ancestral Tree took root in the soil created from the illusion of the Earth Book, becoming more robust and steady, continuously absorbing the spiritual power of the land.
It wasn’t just the Ginseng Fruit Ancestral Tree; other spirit trees and herbs took root in the land as well, absorbing the land’s spiritual power more efficiently.
“The Earth Book actually has such a wonderful use?”
Lu Changsheng finally discovered one of the marvelous uses of this magical artifact.
Lu Changsheng then took out the Yaochi water given to him by the Holy Mother of Yaochi.
Water from Yaochi, extremely conducive to the growth of spirit trees and herbs.
Lu Changsheng scooped up a spoonful of Yaochi water and poured it at the roots of the Ginseng Fruit Ancestral Tree.
The colorful water from Yaochi was quickly absorbed by the Ginseng Fruit Ancestral Tree. The branches of the tree shook, and the leaves rustled as if the Ancestral Tree was satisfied with the Yaochi water.
Indeed, the Yaochi water was effective and should be able to shorten the growth period of the Chaos Divine Fruit.
The only regret is—the Yaochi water is too little.
The Holy Mother of Yaochi had given Lu Changsheng a pool of Yaochi water.
Theoretically, it was enough for nourishing a Pan Peach tree or spirit Ganoderma, but this was the towering Ginseng Fruit Ancestral Tree!
It’s like trying to put out a burning cart of firewood with a cup of water.
The amount of Yaochi water the Ginseng Fruit Ancestral Tree needs is not on the same level as that required by ordinary spirit trees.
Yaochi water is only available from the Holy Land of Yaochi, exclusively theirs.
“My ninth disciple has a romantic ambiguity with the Holy Maiden Liu Yiyi of Yaochi. It seems that I need him to foster a good relationship with Liu Yiyi, to somehow acquire more Yaochi water. By doing so, we can accelerate the maturation of the Chaos Divine Fruit.”
Lu Changsheng pondered that if he wanted the Ginseng Fruit Ancestral Tree to produce the Chaos Divine Fruit as soon as possible, then the Earth Book and Yaochi water were indispensable, and he would have to make a sacrifice of Dugu Aotian.
No, if the two were truly in love, then it wouldn’t be a sacrifice, would it?
If the Holy Mother of Yaochi knew Lu Changsheng was eyeing the water of Yaochi and even thinking about draining Yaochi’s spiritual water, she would definitely frown.
The creation of Yaochi’s spiritual water also required time and could not be provided indefinitely.
Regardless, Lu Changsheng had gotten rid of one of his worries and no longer had to agonize over what reward the disciple who receives the Ginseng Fruit Tree could obtain.
“I’m not sure to which disciple I should bestow the Mirror of True Fire of the Eight Wastes Fire Dragon and the Bahuang Fiery Dragon Law Banners.”
Lu Changsheng thought about upgrading the existing Mountain Protection Array magical artifact of Mount Shu.
This set of high-grade Holy Artifacts was best given to a disciple proficient in formations.

Indeed, among Lu Changsheng’s disciples, there was such a Formation Grandmaster—the fifth disciple, Chen Yao, with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Physique.
It had been too long since Lu Changsheng last saw this disciple.
“Come to think of it, the more I understand about formations, the more I feel that the original Zodiac Star Battle Array of Mount Shu which used three hundred and sixty-five mountain peaks as the formation, drawing upon the power of the three hundred and sixty-five main stars to fend off enemies, was indeed extraordinary.”
Lu Changsheng still had some mysteries to unravel.
There seemed to be some issue with the original Mount Shu.
Before ascending, the Ancestral Master of Mount Shu, at the peak of the Unity Realm, was not as powerful as an ordinary Loose Immortal in the Immortal Realm. How could he have deployed the Zodiac Star Battle Array, which even Lu Changsheng, who had already become an Immortal Emperor, found somewhat inconceivable?
After arriving in the Immortal Realm, Lu Changsheng had not heard any news of the Ancestral Master of Mount Shu and suspected that the Ancestral Master might have fallen.
In the bamboo forest of Yuntai Peak, Lin Qingzhi sat beside a pool in meditation, occasionally struck by a thought, and remembered that beautiful figure who often called him a simpleton.
“Senior Sister, where are you now? Are you well?”
Lin Qingzhi fell into deep contemplation.
…
In a certain place, lightning flashed and thunder roared, with wind and thunder surging.
A stunning woman held the Zhanlan Immortal Sword in her right hand, standing midair against the howling wind, her green garments fluttering, as numerous lightning bolts were drawn into the sharp blade of the Skywave Sword, forming a terrifying vortex with the mighty thunder.
With a gesture from her left hand, the fifteen-layer Formation she had laid out was activated. The colorful Formation spun, working in conjunction with her sword wielding the divine thunder, to devastating effect.
“Slash.”
Her voice was melodious yet indifferent, as the overwhelming light from her sword fell, turning hundreds of Demon Chiefs into ash under its crushing force.
The sword qi, boosted by the fifteen-layer Formation, caused mountains to collapse and rivers to run dry.
Outside the barrier, several female Elders were observing her performance.
The hundreds of Demon Chiefs were all high-ranking figures from the Demon Realm, conjured by the barrier.
“The potential of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Physique is immeasurable, a top-notch special physique in the world, this girl has the potential to become a Goddess, not just an ordinary one, but she has the promising to rival the ancient Taiyin Goddess and Mount Taihua Goddess.”
“Since she has passed this level of the trial, it means she will soon break through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.”
“We discovered this girl too late. Otherwise, with the resources provided by our Mysterious Lady Palace, she would have already reached the Immortal Emperor Realm.”
“Your Highness Ku, how do you find her capabilities? Could she be a match for you?”
The few Elders all turned their attention toward a man dressed regally, their eyes filled with a touch of reverence.
The man referred to as Ku spoke coldly, “Only when she becomes a Great Accomplishment Immortal Emperor will she be worthy to match me.”
“Yes…”
The Elders, whose cultivation reached the heavens, showed no temper towards this haughty man.
The man was truly a child of heaven, of exalted status, and it was uncertain if even someone with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Physique could catch his Dharma Eye.
Ku gave the woman, whose aura was at the pinnacle of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, another glance before he left.
“His Highness Ku’s talent is terrifyingly great, one in a billion years.”
“Give His Highness a bit more time, and he will surpass us old fellows in cultivation.”
“Those geniuses born in the same era as His Highness Ku are truly unfortunate, doomed to be beneath his feet for a lifetime, forever struggling to surpass him.”
“I heard that the Purple Void Palace has placed His Highness first on the Qilin Ranking.”
“The Qilin Ranking of the Purple Void Palace only records the geniuses who have appeared in the Immortal Realm, yet among the Three Realms, there are many unrevealed monstrous talents. Nevertheless, His Highness Ku is undeniably the first of the present age.”
“If this girl can be favored by His Highness Ku, the standing of our Mysterious Lady Palace will be unparalleled.”
“His Highness Ku seemed not to object, so it seems there might still be room for negotiation.”
The Elders whispered among themselves after Ku had left.
Clang.
Chen Yao sheathed her longsword, her aura touching the edge of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, her demeanor transcendent.
The Mysterious Lady Palace is a mysterious sect, extremely powerful, comparable to the Purple Void Palace of the Kunlun Mountains.
“Junior Brother, where are you now?”
Chen Yao sighed softly.
In the Immortal Realm, where sects were as many as the stars and cultivators numbered in the billions, Chen Yao had no idea where Lin Qing was.
“Chen Yao, we will protect you. It is time for you to break through.”
“Yes.”
Chen Yao consumed an Immortal Pill, restored her True Qi, calmed her emotions, and began her breakthrough.
Just one step away, and she would become a Quasi-Emperor.
Overhead the Mysterious Lady Palace, clouds laden with thunder appeared, and even strands of Great Dao Gold Thunder were showing. The golden lightning inspired awe in all who saw it.
