Nine Realms Sword Emperor-Chapter 868 - 869: Is Chu Fengmian a Soft Persimmon?

On this treetop, the six factions have been in a standoff, all for the Jade Dew Sacred Fruit.

The Jade Dew Sacred Fruit is not only capable of being refined into the Jade Dew Life-breaking Pill, but even if directly swallowed and refined, it is sufficient to enable most martial artists at the peak of the life and death boundary to make a breakthrough.

Throughout the history of the Nine Domains, there have been countless geniuses of exceptional talent who have been stuck at the peak of the life and death boundary, unable to break through despite exhausting all possible methods throughout their lives.

Generally, the more gifted a martial artist is, the stronger their power becomes, but the difficulty of their breakthrough also increases.

Martial artists considered prodigious, even at the peak of the life and death boundary, possess the ability to battle ancestors, true prodigies.

Yet, their desire to surpass life and death and make a complete breakthrough is tens or even hundreds of times more difficult than ordinary martial artists.

These talented prodigies struggle to make a breakthrough, but with the assistance of the Jade Dew Sacred Fruit, they can easily surpass life and death and step onto the platform of life and death.

The value of a Jade Dew Sacred Fruit is astronomical in the outside world.

For someone like Chu Fengmian, the difficulty of surpassing life and death is thousands, even tens of thousands of times harder than that faced by ordinary martial artists at the life and death boundary.

Thus, it is utterly impossible for Chu Fengmian to rely solely on his own strength to break through; hence he wishes to refine a Saint-grade Spirit Pill, the Jade Dew Life-breaking Pill, to defy the heavens and make a breakthrough.

Chu Fengmian observed the martial artists around him and immediately realized that they had evidently learned early on about the imminent maturity of the Jade Dew Sacred Fruit.

So right from the beginning, they rushed to this treetop and have been in a standoff here; no one has yet made a move, precisely because the Jade Dew Sacred Fruit has not yet completely matured.

Luckily, this Jade Dew Sacred Fruit hasn’t completely matured, allowing Chu Fengmian time to arrive.

Now, judging by the appearance of the Jade Dew Sacred Fruit, it will fully mature in virtually no time.

Had Chu Fengmian been delayed longer on his way, he might have missed its maturity.

At that point, Chu Fengmian, full of regret, would be powerless to express his agony.

This Jade Dew Sacred Fruit is the sole one borne by the Divine Tree; its value is self-evident.

At least all martial artists present look at the Jade Dew Sacred Fruit with an intense fervor, even some ancestors exhibit the same passion.

To these ancestors, the Jade Dew Sacred Fruit may not aid them, but its worth is capable of exchanging for immense wealth.

Obtaining this Jade Dew Sacred Fruit is akin to acquiring an enormous treasure, who would want to give it up?

"This kid charged up alone, seems to have some capability after all."

While Chu Fengmian was contemplating, the glances of those martial artists were already appraising Chu Fengmian, filled with hostility and surprise.

They were all discussing among themselves.

It was indeed somewhat shocking to them that he was able to charge onto the treetop alone.

Nevertheless, most looks were of disdain, as though they no longer considered Chu Fengmian worth noticing.

The emergence of a lone martial artist poses no threat to these factions.

After all, how much strength can a single martial artist possess, no matter how formidable?

Among these six factions, there is no shortage of ancestors who have surpassed life and death.

Chu Fengmian’s realm is merely at the peak of the life and death boundary, and this doesn’t catch their attention at all.

"Everyone, this Divine Tree belongs entirely to our Ancient Desolate Sect, therefore the Jade Dew Sacred Fruit should also belong to us."

During this standoff, an ancestor from the Ancient Desolate Sect suddenly spoke.

"Please, I ask everyone to leave."

"Oh? Ancestor Huang Yun, wasn’t it your Ancient Desolate Sect who stipulated the rules for tempering under the Divine Tree? In the Divine Tree secret realm, all treasures found should belong to whoever obtains them."

As soon as Huang Yun had finished speaking, a mocking voice arose, and an ancestor from another group of martial artists, the Heaven Sword Sect, spoke with a scornful smile.

"Your Ancient Desolate Sect wants us to leave with mere words. How could that be? If you want us to leave, it’s simple; just hand the Jade Dew Sacred Fruit over to our Heaven Sword Sect, and we’ll leave the Divine Tree secret realm obediently immediately."

The words of the Heaven Sword Sect ancestor caused the complexion of Ancestor Huang Yun to darken.

Hand over the Jade Dew Sacred Fruit?

In the Divine Tree secret realm, the Jade Dew Sacred Fruit is the most precious of all.

If they handed over the Jade Dew Sacred Fruit, the Heaven Sword Sect disciples would naturally return loaded with treasures, what more would we discuss?

"Ancestor Huang Yun, there’s no need to waste your efforts, the Jade Dew Sacred Fruit belongs to the capable."

A martial artist from Medicine King Valley spoke up from the side, another ancestor.

"Though before we all start, it would be best to deal with a certain kid first."

The ancestor from Medicine King Valley suddenly stretched forth a hand, pointing at Chu Fengmian, and spoke. frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

"This kid alone isn’t qualified to compete with us for the Jade Dew Sacred Fruit, let’s knock him off the treetop first so he doesn’t take advantage in the chaos."

The Medicine King Valley ancestor was a middle-aged man, seemingly not very old, becoming an ancestor at a young age, naturally one of the Valley’s geniuses.

His gaze towards Chu Fengmian was filled with disdain as he spoke.

"Boy, know your place, this Jade Dew Sacred Fruit isn’t for you to covet, roll off now."

"Oh?"

Chu Fengmian stood his ground, surprised that the Medicine King Valley people were directly seeking trouble with him.

Now, the six factions are at a standstill, cautious not to act first.

Yet Chu Fengmian stood alone, apparently becoming the soft target, and Medicine King Valley seemed eager to crush him.

The martial artists of other factions watched as the ancestor from Medicine King Valley spoke, remaining silent.

This action also meant tacit approval of the Medicine King Valley ancestor’s plan.

These six factions came to fight for the Jade Dew Sacred Fruit.

Chu Fengmian, by himself, indeed lacked the qualification to stand among them for the competition.

Since Chu Fengmian did not act, everyone regarded him as a soft target, aiming to exploit him.

"Trash from Medicine King Valley, telling me to get lost? Do you truly believe you have the right to say that?"

Chu Fengmian replied with a cold laugh.

Six factions?

These six factions, combined, were nothing of concern to Chu Fengmian.

It’s just that the Jade Dew Sacred Fruit isn’t mature yet, and Chu Fengmian was in no hurry to make a move.

After all, this is the Divine Tree secret realm. If Chu Fengmian acts recklessly, he might attract the attention of the Ancient Desolate Sect’s strongmen.

Before obtaining the Jade Dew Sacred Fruit, Chu Fengmian prefers not to be too ostentatious.

Nevertheless, giving a lesson to a few Medicine King Valley wastes wouldn’t warrant Chu Fengmian’s full effort.

"Medicine King Valley’s trash?"

As soon as Chu Fengmian spoke, the faces of the disciples from Medicine King Valley grew cold.
