Nine Realms Sword Emperor-Chapter 880 - 881: A Windfall

Chu Fengmian shattered the barrier of the Divine Tree, and upon entering, found himself in such a unique space.

The Divine Tree before him was no different from the one in the Divine Tree secret realm outside.

But with just a glance, Chu Fengmian felt a sensation that was enough to determine its authenticity.

This is the true Divine Tree.

The Divine Tree outside is merely a blinding technique of the Ancient Desolate Sect.

"Is this the inside of the Divine Tree? Or is this the true Divine Tree secret realm?"

Chu Fengmian observed his surroundings, exclaiming in amazement.

Who could have imagined there was a hidden realm within the Divine Tree of this secret realm?

It should be said that no one would ever set foot here, as the barrier surrounding the Divine Tree is lethal to countless martial artists.

If Chu Fengmian had not used blood essence to discover that there was indeed a hidden realm within the Divine Tree, he would not have chosen to risk entering.

It seems the Divine Tree secret realm indeed harbors some conspiracy.

"Are these the Yu Lu sacred fruits?"

Chu Fengmian’s eyes scanned the Divine Tree, suddenly widening.

On the Divine Tree, there were quite a number of purple fruits dangling.

These purple fruits were identical to the Yu Lu sacred fruits Chu Fengmian had previously seen, desperately competing for at the tree’s crown.

No, it should be said that all these are Yu Lu sacred fruits.

There were as many as fifty or sixty Yu Lu sacred fruits hanging on the Divine Tree.

"So many Yu Lu sacred fruits!"

Chu Fengmian’s face was surprised, though delighted. This was a great opportunity! A true treasure! Even a single Yu Lu sacred fruit would be enough to incite competition among countless martial artists outside.

Back at the tree’s crown, Chu Fengmian risked exposing his identity and fought with all his might to obtain just one Yu Lu sacred fruit.

But now, there were as many as fifty or sixty Yu Lu sacred fruits, enough to create fifty or sixty old masters if used wisely.

What does this mean?

The entire Beimang Academy has barely a hundred old masters.

The Yu Lu sacred fruits before Chu Fengmian could cultivate nearly half as many old masters as the entire Beimang Academy.

Beimang Academy has spent ten thousand years nurturing countless geniuses to slowly accumulate a hundred old masters.

What Chu Fengmian obtained now could, in one fell swoop, nurture half the number of old masters as Beimang Academy.

This is like a sudden windfall; if the Divine Tree appeared outside, the Seven Great Sects, such as the Heavenly Sword Sect and Medicine King Valley, would stop at nothing to seize it.

"No wonder the Ancient Desolate Sect rose so quickly; with the power of the Divine Tree, its rise was inevitable!"

Chu Fengmian couldn’t help but sigh.

Every Yu Lu sacred fruit produced by the Divine Tree essentially cultivates an ancient master who exceeds life and death for the Ancient Desolate Sect.

In the Nine Domains, there are many peak life and death stage experts, but those who can transcend life and death are very few.

Perhaps one in a hundred.

The Divine Tree actually has fifty or sixty Yu Lu sacred fruits.

During the tens of thousands of years the Ancient Desolate Sect possessed the Divine Tree, who knows how many Yu Lu sacred fruits they obtained; it’s an unimaginable number.

The Ancient Desolate Sect grew from an obscure small sect into one of the Seven Great Sects.

It relied entirely on the cultivation from the Divine Tree.

"It seems the Ancient Desolate Sect dared not use Yu Lu sacred fruits freely to cultivate martial artists, so they’ve stored up these."

Chu Fengmian looked at the fifty or sixty Yu Lu sacred fruits on the Divine Tree, pondering to himself.

If the Ancient Desolate Sect suddenly gave rise to too many breakthrough old masters, it would attract attention from all sides within the Nine Domains.

Thus, the Ancient Desolate Sect carefully controlled the growth.

These fifty or sixty Yu Lu sacred fruits, growing on the Divine Tree, couldn’t be taken, for the true Divine Tree is hidden behind the barrier of the Divine Tree secret realm.

Even some Emperors cannot enter, making it exceedingly safe.

This time, however, an anomaly occurred; Chu Fengmian discovered the secret of the Divine Tree secret realm and entered.

It’s like a tiger among sheep.

Chu Fengmian and the Ancient Desolate Sect are mortal enemies; since he entered today, he won’t leave empty-handed.

Taking all these Yu Lu sacred fruits is equivalent to preventing the Ancient Desolate Sect from producing fifty or sixty old masters who exceed life and death.

This would surely hurt the Ancient Desolate Sect.

"Seize them all for me!"

Chu Fengmian suddenly unleashed spiritual power, with surges of spiritual power transforming into several Heaven-devouring Grand Pythons around him.

They rushed towards the Divine Tree.

Every Yu Lu sacred fruit on this Divine Tree sensed danger, using spiritual power to try to resist Chu Fengmian.

But Chu Fengmian was prepared, and the instant spiritual power erupted, his dragon might suppressed everything.

Each Yu Lu sacred fruit was directly swallowed by the Heaven-devouring Grand Pythons and all collected into Chu Fengmian’s Space Ring.

In less than five minutes, all Yu Lu sacred fruits on the Divine Tree were seized by Chu Fengmian.

Chu Fengmian wouldn’t leave even one for the Ancient Desolate Sect.

"A total of sixty-eight!"

Chu Fengmian gazed at the Space Ring filled with Yu Lu sacred fruits, feeling great delight.

"Great, so many Yu Lu sacred fruits! I don’t believe I won’t break through this time!"

He didn’t have full confidence in successfully breaking through when previously refining the Jade Dew Life-breaking Pill.

But now, with these Yu Lu sacred fruits, it’s different; even if a peak life and death stage pig consumed this many, it would forcefully push it to the Fragment Life stage.

For a normal peak life and death stage martial artist, one Yu Lu sacred fruit would be perfect.

Even for some monstrous geniuses, two or three would be the limit.

Chu Fengmian now had sixty-eight, and coupled with the prepared materials, he could refine the Jade Dew Life-breaking Pill.

Such assurance gave Chu Fengmian absolute confidence in breaking through.

"No, this Divine Tree is recklessly devouring spiritual power not to cultivate Yu Lu sacred fruits!"

Suddenly, Chu Fengmian realized that his intentionally released drop of blood essence hadn’t been absorbed into the Divine Tree.

Instead, it went elsewhere.

Chu Fengmian vaguely sensed that all spiritual power the Divine Tree devoured in the secret realm went to that place.
