Chapter 877 - 962: Lightning Fruit

"Lightning Fruit..."

As the Illusion Realm vanished, a small pool appeared before them. The water in the pool was silver-white, resembling condensed mercury, exceptionally strange. However, what captured the attention of Chen Mo and the others was not just the silver-white water, but a sapling growing at the center of the pool, which bore a silver-white fruit the size of an adult...

Thunder Serpents coiled around the surface of the fruit.

Upon seeing the fruit, both Luo Yuan and Su Mengyan, as well as Zuoqiu Yiren, widened their eyes.

Even Qiao Yushi, within Chen Mo’s sea of consciousness, was incredibly shocked.

"Lightning Fruit? What purpose does it serve?" Chen Mo asked with surprise.

"This Lightning Fruit is nurtured by the spirit of heaven and earth, with each tree bearing only one fruit. Inside the fruit is a Thunder and Lightning Law. Since the establishment of the Immortal Realm, spiritual objects containing laws have only existed in the Immortal Realm, with none emerging in the Lower Realm. Therefore, in Primordial Heaven, the Lightning Fruit is an extinct spiritual object. If one refines it, they can not only comprehend the Thunder and Lightning Laws, but also greatly benefit the cultivation of thunder-attribute divine techniques," Zuoqiu Yiren explained in detail.

In summary, this Lightning Fruit is a good thing.

However, having said that, Mu Qianqian and Luo Yuan exchanged a glance.

There were five of them present, with one Lightning Fruit, how would they divide it?

Su Mengyan’s beautiful eyes glanced at Mu Qianqian and Luo Yuan, then said coquettishly, "The energy of the Lightning Fruit is too dominant. My Nine Yin Divine Body is inclined towards coldness, so I can’t enjoy it, but it suits my brother well."

As she spoke, Su Mengyan leaned towards Chen Mo.

She knew Zuoqiu Yiren was Chen Mo’s mentor and valued him greatly, so she would obviously give the Lightning Fruit to Chen Mo.

Moreover, she was from the Joyful Union Sect and couldn’t compete for it.

Given this, it was better to obediently yield it to Chen Mo.

After all, their relationship was already complicated.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qianqian and Luo Yuan’s expressions changed slightly.

Clearly, their chances of acquiring it were slim.

Thinking this, Luo Yuan showed deference to Zuoqiu Yiren, saying, "The Lightning Fruit should naturally go to the strong. Senior Sister, please..."

Luo Yuan addressed Zuoqiu Yiren as Senior Sister, obviously attempting to foster closer relations.

With Luo Yuan saying this, Mu Qianqian had little hope left, so she addressed Chen Mo, "Chen Junior Brother, to repay you for aiding my breakthrough a few days ago, I’ll let you have this Lightning Fruit, but if we come across the Immortal Ancient Ice Spirit Silkworm later, you must let me have it."

"Don’t celebrate too soon." Zuoqiu Yiren’s eyes narrowed slightly, then said, "Those capable of reaching here and breaking through the Illusion Realm can’t be limited to us. If others see the Lightning Fruit, they won’t miss the chance. There’s surely something amiss here..."

Saying this, Zuoqiu Yiren pulled a strand of hair from her head, gently blew, and the delicate hair transformed into a miniature version of Zuoqiu Yiren.

Zuoqiu Yiren nodded at the little figure.

The miniature walked towards the small pool, but after merely a yard, razor-like air seeped through, chilling to the bone. When the figure touched this wind, it was instantly severed in two, reverting to the strand of hair and scattering as the cold wind sliced it further.

Chen Mo and the others’ expressions changed.

"Didn’t expect the Lightning Fruit to alter the surroundings, even imbuing the wind with traces of thunder and lightning, but if that’s all..."

To probe further, Zuoqiu Yiren moved her bare feet, stepping forward.

The electric winds in the air were entirely repelled by the True Qi surrounding Zuoqiu Yiren.

When she reached to grab the Lightning Fruit, it suddenly detached from the sapling, slipping into the pool water.

As Zuoqiu Yiren reached for the pool, a violent Power of Thunder erupted from the small pool, pushing Zuoqiu Yiren back several yards.

Moreover, a Thunder Serpent, several yards thick, burst from the pool, lunging at Zuoqiu Yiren.

"Senior Sister, be careful..." Luo Yuan shouted as he saw this, rushing to shield Zuoqiu Yiren.

A purple glow flashed.

The Purple Star Sword shot from within Zuoqiu Yiren, slicing the Thunder Serpent apart.

"No wonder the Lightning Fruit grows plainly here and hasn’t been taken; it has developed intelligence. Sensing danger, it retreats into this Thunder Pool..." Zuoqiu Yiren furrowed her brow, finding it troublesome.

"Is there still a chance to obtain the Lightning Fruit?" Chen Mo asked.

"The Power of Laws within the Lightning Fruit turned the pool water into a Thunder Pool, saturated with thunder, and due to the Power of Laws, the stronger the cultivation of the entrant, the greater the repulsion faced. Moreover, my physical body isn’t strong enough to resist such intense Power of Thunder."

Speaking, Zuoqiu Yiren looked at Chen Mo, saying earnestly, "Little Mo, can you give it a try?"

"Me?" Chen Mo pointed at himself.

"Yes," Zuoqiu Yiren said. "Among us, your cultivation is the lowest, yet your strength far exceeds your current cultivation level, and your physical body can rival Xiao Qingtian’s Nine Revolutions Undying Golden Body, so you’re most suited.

Of course, peril and opportunity coexist. If you don’t desire the Lightning Fruit, you need not risk it."
