When old friends meet again, Hu Le's lips curl up slightly, and he gives the Space Taoist a faint smile. There is no hostility in that smile; it is just a smile exchanged between old friends.
The Space Taoist responded with a smile, and in the instant their eyes met, an indescribable emotion seemed to flow between them.
However, Hu Le did not rush forward to fight the Space Daoist and settle the karmic debt. Instead, he slowly withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to the enticing aroma of the Ambrosia Fruits not far away.
At this moment, the fragrance emitted by the fairy fruit became even stronger, its aroma like a surging tide, impacting people's olfactory senses wave after wave.
Without a doubt, these divine fruits are nearing maturity.
Time flies, and years pass quickly. Several years have passed in a flash, and at a certain moment, a clear, melodious, and pleasant bell sound suddenly rang out in the originally silent void.
Immediately afterwards, celestial music, like heavenly sounds, drifted out, and at the same time, colorful rays of light surged out from all directions like a tide, instantly covering the entire sky.
As this strange phenomenon appeared, a refreshing and invigorating fragrance quickly spread, making people feel relaxed and refreshed.
That's right!
After a long wait, the elixir of immortality has been fully formed!
Suddenly, a cauldron-shaped immortal fruit burst forth with countless dazzling rays of divine light, each ray containing boundless vitality and life force.
In addition, thousands of auspicious wisps of energy continuously gushed out from inside the fruit, weaving together to create a magnificent scene.
Just then, the silent Xuan Su Daoist suddenly stepped forward and said loudly, "I am a disciple of the Taiyi Dao Ancestor. This treasure is quite destined for me, and I should have one."
Before he finished speaking, he flashed and instantly crossed space to arrive in front of the precious tree laden with immortal fruits.
In the blink of an eye, just as Xuan Su Daoist had gained his footing, the fully ripe immortal fruit detached itself from the branch and floated lightly toward him.
Seeing this, Xuan Su Daoist did not hesitate to wave his sleeve and take the many immortal fruits that the gods and immortals had been dreaming of into his pocket.
Seeing that Xuan Su Daoist had taken the lead, the other powerful beings all chose to stand quietly in place, showing no intention or action of rushing forward to compete with him.
The reason is simple: there are a total of twelve of these invaluable Immortal Fruits, which contain boundless creative power. It is not worthwhile to cause unnecessary conflict with the powerful disciples of the Dao Ancestor over just one of them.
Just then, upon seeing this scene, Hu Le couldn't help but throw his head back and burst into laughter. He then strode forward and loudly proclaimed, "Haha, I am also a disciple of the Dao Ancestor. Such a divine object should naturally have a share of mine!"
However, before he could finish speaking, another bell-shaped nectar fruit began to ripen.
Upon seeing this, Hu Le immediately took a step forward without hesitation and quickly walked to the fairy fruit.
With a thought, his powerful mental energy suddenly unfolded, like an invisible giant net, instantly enveloping the nearly ripe immortal fruit and storing it in his sea of consciousness.
The remaining powerful beings who had achieved great things maintained their previous attitude after witnessing this scene, and none of them made a move to seize it or expressed any dissatisfaction.
At this moment, another celestial fruit is almost at its perfect state, and it looks like it will be fully ripe and fall from the branch soon.
At this crucial moment, Lady Yu Shu, who had remained silent all along, finally took action.
She took a light step forward, but did not say a word. She simply reached out her hand and, with an extremely elegant gesture, gently caught the fairy fruit that was about to fall into her pocket.
Although she did not utter a single word from beginning to end, the other powerful beings present were well aware that this elegant woman was also a disciple of the Dao Ancestor, so naturally no one dared to stand up and compete with her for this hard-won immortal fruit.
Immediately afterwards, the remaining two disciples of the Dao Ancestor also stepped forward and each took their share of the immortal fruit.
The whole scene appeared exceptionally harmonious and orderly, as if everything was so natural and inevitable.
At this moment, five of the twelve precious immortal fruits had already been collected, leaving only seven, and these last few were about to ripen.
However, in that instant, the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere on the field vanished without a trace.
A tense, suffocating atmosphere quietly rose like an invisible torrent, as if foreshadowing an impending fierce battle.
Various profound spiritual insights collided violently with each other in this ethereal space, like surging waves.
It is obvious that when facing the powerful disciples of the Dao Ancestor, everyone might choose to give way a little, but at this moment, the remaining people are not among the disciples of the Dao Ancestor, but are just scattered individuals of the Great Dao.
Since everyone is evenly matched and there is no clear winner, a fierce competition is inevitable.
After successfully collecting the immortal fruits, Hu Le and his group did not immediately turn around and leave, but instead stood quietly to one side.
In the blink of an eye, the remaining Ambrosia Fruits ripened simultaneously and drifted slowly down from the branches.
With a soft "whoosh," numerous powerful beings appeared almost simultaneously, arriving at their desired targets and swiftly attempting to claim the immortal fruits before them.
The Immortal Tree of Enlightenment, which embodies the profound mysteries of the Great Dao, after shedding all its fruit, suddenly became ethereal and dreamlike, gradually merging into the vast and boundless primordial world, as if it had never existed.
Hu Le focused his mind on that space and scanned it, but he couldn't detect the slightest trace of the tree's presence.
It seems to have truly disappeared...
It turns out that these precious trees are different from ordinary primordial spiritual roots.
Normally, it remains hidden deep within the source of the Primordial Dao, absorbing spiritual energy, existing in another void dimension, seemingly neither in the present, nor in the past, nor in the future.
This tree will only appear from nothingness when the celestial fruit ripens.
When it is hidden in the void, it conceals the profound mysteries of the Great Dao, so much so that even the Primordial Dao Ancestor could not foresee its existence. This shows how mysterious this treasure is...
