Chapter 510: Chapter 511 Inheritance of the Heavenly God and Buddha [5th Update]

"Speak like a human!" Wu Tian shuddered with disgust at the Ginseng Fruit Tree’s words. If it didn’t start speaking properly, he was leaving.

"Alright, I’ll talk, I’ll talk! Don’t go! I was looking for you because I’ve been waiting for you this entire time!" the Ginseng Fruit Tree pleaded.

"Waiting for me?" Wu Tian stood perfectly still. "Explain. What is going on?"

"It... It was my master and the great ones. They said you would definitely come and told me to wait here for you!"

As it spoke, the Ginseng Fruit Tree began to stammer as if recalling something terrifying. Its voice trembled with fear. "My master and the great ones are all dead. Originally... I couldn’t speak or possess a Spiritual Sense. It was they who, in their final moments, gave me this breath of life and told me to wait here for you!"

"Your appearance was prophesied by my master and the great ones using their Great Divine Power. They said you are the hope for everything!"

"You... don’t go! You must avenge my master!"

The Ginseng Fruit Tree’s voice sounded like it was crying, and it even began to rain within the space.

"Master? You mean Zhen Yuanzi? And the great ones? Who are you talking about?" Wu Tian squinted.

He had never imagined that someone like Zhen Yuanzi truly existed. The Ginseng Fruit Tree of Wuzhuang Temple was also supposed to be a mythical entity. And the great ones?

"The great ones, of course, refer to all the Gods and Buddhas of Heaven!" the Ginseng Fruit Tree sobbed. "And the Cultivators, too, of course. Otherwise, where do you think the Immortal Seekers found the cultivation ruins? They are what the Cultivators left behind when they died!"

"I see. I understand now," Wu Tian nodded, waving a hand. "So, this world originally had Immortals and Cultivators, but they all died. Their ruins were found by people who craved long life, which led to the creation of the Underground World. And since most of the Immortals died, only you and Wuzhuang Temple remain, sustaining this group of arrogant fools who are ignorant of the world’s vastness, thinking themselves Immortals and Saints?"

The Ginseng Fruit Tree was also speechless about that. "Yes. I’d like to teach them a lesson too, but I only have a single breath of life and can’t afford to waste a single bit of it!"

Then, the Ginseng Fruit Tree began to tell Wu Tian the whole story.

During the Song Dynasty, the Gods, Buddhas, demons, and others sensed that the world’s Spiritual Energy was gradually fading.

They decided to "migrate."

For the first time in history, they formed an alliance. Relying on the Dao Ancestor’s Creation Jade Disc, they located a new world: the Immortal Emperor Realm.

The Immortal Emperor Realm was already teeming with powerful living beings, every one of them a practitioner of the Martial Path. The Dao Ancestor and the others sensed this would be troublesome. Therefore, supreme beings like Ancestor Yang Mei used a secret technique to pull Cultivators from the river of history. Only with these bolstered numbers did they finally have the confidence to march on the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Needless to say, the Dao Ancestor and his allies were utterly defeated. But how exactly did the Immortal Emperor Realm win that great war, and how did the Dao Ancestor’s side lose? The Ginseng Fruit Tree wasn’t very clear on the details. It only knew that Zhen Yuanzi gave it a breath of life and told it to wait here for Wu Tian’s arrival. They had already prophesied Wu Tian’s existence in a future era.

"So, do you understand now?" the Ginseng Fruit Tree said, gasping for breath.

"Perhaps," Wu Tian chuckled. Regarding this battle, he had never heard of it in the Immortal Emperor Realm. So who was it that killed the Dao Ancestor and the others? Everything was a mystery. Only by returning to the Immortal Emperor Realm could the truth be uncovered, right?

"They want me to avenge them?" Wu Tian frowned slightly as a thought occurred to him. He wasn’t some Holy Mother. What did the deaths of others have to do with him? Why should he be the one to seek revenge?

"The being that destroyed the Dao Ancestor... My master said that one day, it will also descend upon Earth. We wanted to migrate to another world, but other worlds also want to conquer more realms. When that time comes, it will be doomsday! For your planet, for your country, for your family, for your loved ones and your friends, you will have no choice but to fight!" the Ginseng Fruit Tree said in a grave tone.

"Don’t try to scare me," Wu Tian sneered. When he was the Wutian Celestial Emperor, there were only three people in the entire Immortal Emperor Realm who could be considered his rivals. But could those three kill the Dao Ancestor and his peers? Impossible! So... what kind of being could have possibly killed them?

"That being single-handedly slew the Dao Ancestor and the others, but it was also wounded in the process and has been in a deep slumber ever since. That’s why you couldn’t possibly have heard of its fame when you were in the Immortal Emperor Realm," the Ginseng Fruit Tree said.

Wu Tian nodded, his expression turning solemn. "If that being could single-handedly slay the Dao Ancestor and all the Gods and Buddhas, then I..."

"You have a chance!" the Ginseng Fruit Tree suddenly declared proudly. "As long as you pass a trial, you will receive the inheritance left behind by the Dao Ancestor and the others! With this inheritance, you will have a hope of contending with that being."

The inheritance of the Dao Ancestor and all the Gods and Buddhas? What did it refer to? What was it, exactly?

"As for the trial, I need to prepare. You know that this breath of life was given to me by my master and the great ones. It exists solely to activate the trial, and once I use it, I’ll be finished... I still want to live for a few more days! Give me some time to prepare myself mentally," the Ginseng Fruit Tree said helplessly. "The Ginsengfruits are all yours. When the trial is ready to begin, I will let you know. Yes, at that time, you’ll be able to hear my call no matter where you are."

At that moment, outside, the Lord with the Earth and the others saw that all the Ginsengfruits on the tree had vanished.

"Ah! My Ginseng Fruit Tree!" The Lord with the Earth ran forward, his face stricken with panic. Without the Ginsengfruits, what would happen to his future Cultivation?

"Get lost! They are my Ginsengfruits!"

The Ginseng Fruit Tree whipped another branch through the air.

WHOOSH!

The Lord with the Earth was sent flying, proving no match for the tree.

Meanwhile, in the space within the tree, sixty-four Ginsengfruits appeared before Wu Tian. His Nine Dragon Ring shone brightly, and all the Ginsengfruits were drawn into it.

"I’ll take my leave."

Only then did Wu Tian depart.

The Ginseng Fruit Tree wanted to complete the mission Zhen Yuanzi had given it. But having only just gained consciousness, it really didn’t want to die.

After Wu Tian emerged, Qin Yuhan immediately rushed over, and the two embraced again, completely ignoring everyone else. The others could only watch their public display of affection.

"What happened?" Qin Yuhan asked.

"Let’s go back to the treehouse. I’ll tell you everything there," Wu Tian said, leading her away.

A day passed like this. The Lord with the Earth and the others had expected Wu Tian to come and explain what happened between him and the Ginseng Fruit Tree and why the Ginsengfruits were gone.

But Wu Tian never came.

Finally, the Lord with the Earth couldn’t bear it any longer. "This poor Daoist will go and ask him! That Ginseng Fruit Tree belongs to our Daoist temple! We have the right to know what it said!"
