C1288 fruit-eating

With the sudden stop of the ginseng fruit tree's absorption of the golden light of the red cloud, the secret technique that was placed around the ginseng fruit tree to stimulate life came to a sudden stop. The ginseng fruit had already matured!

A refreshing yet impressive fragrance filled the entire array glyph space in an instant.

Yang Junshan took a few deep breaths greedily, and then he felt all the fatigue in his body gone. He circulated the Zhen Yuan in his body at once, and accelerated it by thirty percent!

The might of the ginseng fruit was as great as it could get!

Yang Junshan was a thunder tribulation cultivator, and the true energy within his body was much denser than ordinary cultivators of the same cultivation level. Yang Junshan was a thunder tribulation cultivator, and the true energy within his body was denser than ordinary cultivators of the same cultivation level.

When he thought of this, Yang Junshan immediately regretted that he had let his leave too early. If he had known that the four immortals would not cause too much damage to the island, he would have left his to wait for the ginseng fruit to ripen.

It was useless to regret now. Yang Junshan thought about picking the ginseng fruit according to the way that Princess Lanxuan told him, and then leaving the island as soon as possible.

However, just as Yang Junshan was preparing to knock down the ginseng fruit and take it away using the golden hammer prepared for him by Princess Lanxuan, his expression suddenly froze.

Right now, the outside of the island had attracted the attention of the four immortals. If he were to leave with the ginseng fruit in hand, would he be able to escape the eyes of the four immortals?

The four immortals were only paying attention to Dingdao now, so they didn't pay too much attention to Yang Junshan. Mingxiang Island itself also had a space barrier, and the ginseng fruit tree itself also had a space barrier. Yang Junshan wasn't the only one that the four immortals couldn't discover the existence of the ginseng fruit tree.

However, if he went out now and the four immortals made their move and all the cultivators retreated, wouldn't that be sending themselves to be suspected? When that happened, it would be difficult for the four immortals to not notice!

What should he do then? Wait until the four fairyland existences completely froze the entire Bright Aurora Island on the surface of the sea before leaving?

Yang Junshan looked at the sky and counted with his fingers. There was only one hour left until the one month period of the Ming Xia Island. Although the Ming Xia Island couldn't move under the suppression of the four fairyland existences, after less than a month, the Ming Xia Island couldn't be completely frozen.

Should he wait for an hour?

But so what?

If they didn't, then the Ming Yan Island would have to return to the void. Yang Junshan could only choose to leave the island before it disappeared. But if that happened, under the watchful eyes of everyone, it would still attract the attention of the four Worldly Immortals.

However, even if the Ming Xia Island was frozen, the four immortals couldn't immediately leave. They might even go to the island themselves to check, and at that time, the secret of the ginseng fruit tree might not be preserved.

Thinking about all these, Yang Junshan couldn't help but feel regret in his heart. He should have left earlier when Princess Lanxuan came to warn him, or at most he would have delayed the opportunity to break through to the Golden Hall Realm by a bit. Although the golden light of the Red Dawn in the Primordius Token could not be absorbed as much as the Ginseng Fruit Tree itself, it would be more than enough to save some energy.

Of course, this way, Yang Junshan's plan to use the Primordius Token to store and eat the golden light for his family's descendants to use would be in vain.

However, it was useless to regret now. Yang Junshan kept thinking about it, and if the four immortals outside the island didn't notice anything, he would just swallow the ginseng fruit into his stomach to refine it.

It was at this moment that, with the rumbling of the earth, the entire Bright Aurora Island suddenly sank another ten feet.

Yang Junshan didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He used his golden hammer to knock down the ginseng fruit and caught it with a jade plate. He was ready to swallow it and refine it under the fruit tree.

Unexpectedly, the moment the ginseng fruit left the fruit tree, the originally lush and verdant tree began to wither. First, the withered yellow leaves floated down, and then the dried branches started to fall.

When Yang Junshan looked over in surprise, he saw that the whole tree seemed to have lost all its vitality. All the green energy gathered on the trunk, and when all the branches and leaves outside the trunk came off, the trunk that was originally seventy to eighty feet tall began to shrink, as if demonstrating the growth process of this spiritual plant in reverse. However, the speed was much shorter.

Yang Junshan looked at the ginseng fruit on the jade plate, then looked at the ginseng fruit tree that had turned into a seedling, and seemed to understand something.

Because the entire array space was set up with the ginseng fruit tree as the core, Yang Junshan still needed to use the array space to hide and swallow the ginseng fruit. Therefore, he didn't hurriedly take back the array space, but sat next to the ginseng fruit seedlings and began to eat the ginseng fruit in one mouthful with his eyes closed.

The reason why he had to close his eyes was that this ginseng fruit looked like a sleeping baby, full of life and vitality. If he really wanted to watch it eat, he would feel an inexplicable sense of guilt.

A strange aura started to circulate around Yang Junshan, making him look ethereal.

The biggest obstacle to advancing to the Golden Hall Realm, or to say, the key, was the formation of the Dao embryo within his body.

Furthermore, the Golden Hall Realm was the final threshold of the path of cultivators under the Immortal Realm of Life and Death. As a result, the cultivation world often referred to the Daoist embryo as the Dao Fruit, which was the result of a cultivator cultivating their essence for hundreds of years before stepping into the Immortal Realm of Life and Death.

Because of this, every cultivator that attempted to step into the Golden Hall Realm would not tremble with fear before advancing. There were even people in the Thunder Tribulation Realm who were willing to waste a hundred years of their time, but would never dare to take this final step.2

If breaking one's dantian was just the first obstacle in the path of a tribulation thunder cultivator, then the second obstacle would be how to condense a Dao embryo.

When each Dao Cultivator advanced to the Golden Hall Realm, they would condense Dao embryo that varied from person to person. However, before the Dao embryo was finally formed, even Dao Cultivators themselves would not know what kind of Dao embryo they would condense.

Normally speaking, the formation of a dao embryo was related to the will of the world that a cultivator refined when they advanced into the Lightning Calamity Realm. On the other hand, the will of the heaven and earth, which originated from the origin of the heaven and earth, would follow the cultivator's understanding of the Heavenly Dao and the characteristics of the cultivator's own cultivation.

In other words, in the process of condensing the dao embryo, cultivators felt that they would be left to fate, and this was precisely what every cultivator, who was determined to go against the will of the heavens and change their fate, disliked the most. This was because when this type of cultivator reached such a level, their control would be extremely strong, and the unknown was their greatest enemy.

In addition to giving the cultivator a feeling of helplessness, the cultivator would also waste the nature's will that the cultivator had refined through continuous attempts. The large amount of nature's will being consumed would directly affect the quality of the final fruit.

One must know that this was only possible when the will of Heaven and Earth was enough to support cultivators in forming their Dao embryo!

It would be a tragedy if the will of the world were to be used up while trying to condense the cultivator's own Dao embryo. After the dangerous process of breaking his dantian and creating a Dao embryo, he would end up failing to condense it.

However, the greatest significance of the ginseng fruit lay in this!

It allowed Yang Junshan to avoid the formation of the dao embryo in one fell swoop, because it could help cultivators create a virtual dao fruit that would fit the cultivator's body the most in the shattered dantian before they truly formed the dao embryo.

In other words, Yang Junshan already knew what a Dao Fruit was like before he advanced to the Golden Hall Realm, and how to form it. Yang Junshan knew that he could directly cross over this threshold and use all of his saved Heaven and Earth Will to condense the Dao Fruit into the final form of the Dao embryo, thus ensuring the highest quality of the Dao Fruit.

Generally speaking, the quality of a Golden Hall Dao Fruit was divided into upper, lower, and upper levels, and the fundamental factor determining the quality was naturally the cultivator's own cultivation and true essence. Secondary factors, such as the cultivator's cultivation, were secondary factors, such as the cultivator's own refinement of the will of the world, which could also be said to be the cultivator's understanding of the true essence of the world.

In the vast majority of situations, a low-grade Dao Fruit was basically unfated to be within the Immortal Realm. If one wanted to get a glimpse of the Immortal Realm, then they would need to obtain at least a mid-grade Dao Fruit.

Of course, the Dao Fruit itself was not always the same. It was not impossible for a low-grade Dao Fruit in the Yellow Court to be promoted to a mid-grade Dao Fruit. A mid-grade Dao Fruit in the beginning might be able to be promoted to a high-grade Dao Fruit once a cultivator had a glimpse of it.

The process of pursuing longevity was originally a race against one's own lifespan. A cultivator who had just entered the Golden Hall Realm and obtained a low-grade dao fruit naturally had to make intense preparations, and would inevitably ignore each other. On the other hand, a middle-grade, high-grade dao fruit cultivator like Huang Ting could calmly lay out her plans, and was naturally more well-prepared.

Of course, other than the upper, middle, and lower tier Dao Fruit, there was only one other kind of Flawless Dao Fruit that could be achieved by cultivators, and that was cultivators like Yang Junshan, who had tyrannical body tempering cultivation and intended to break the shackles of heaven and earth and walk the path of the Golden Body Immortal.

The path of the Golden Body Immortal was difficult and dangerous, but to be able to step into the Golden Hall Realm, their starting point was high enough, and the quality of their Dao fruits was rarely below the middle tier. But usually, only those with high quality Dao fruits would be able to achieve the Flawless Dao Fruit.

And Yang Junshan's ambition was naturally to obtain the Flawless Dao Fruit. In fact, Yang Junshan did indeed have the confidence to do so when compared to the great cultivators who had walked the path of the Golden Body Immortal for thousands of years.

The second is less certain, don't wait.
