Chapter 332: 190: The Emergence of Artifacts

“I’m telling you, I’m for real!” Mo Baiye felt like crying upon having his identity confirmed.

Is it easy for me?

I sought you out to help me deal with Zhang Xuan, but instead, I get the act of brothers coming to chop me down…

Such a misfortune!

“Brother Mo, I’m really sorry… do you want to try reconnecting it?” Seeing his expression, Ling Yusheng was full of embarrassment and quickly offered him the severed arm.

“No need…” Mo Baiye shook his head and went back to the Cloud Leaf Tree.

The tree was lush and brimming with vitality and spiritual energy. However… there was no more fruit; it seemed there had only been that one.

Mo Baiye was brimming with frustration.

I had finally recovered, but then these two idiots whacked me again… It’s terribly frustrating, no matter how I think about it.

“The Cloud Leaf Fruit contains a vast amount of life force. It’s very good that a tree can nurture even one; there probably aren’t any more on this tree…”

Noticing his intention, Mu Hongtao said, “But…”

“But what?” Mo Baiye looked over.

After pondering for a moment, Mu Hongtao said, “There might not be a second fruit, but the vitality within the fruit is provided by the tree. Although each leaf and branch may not contain much, the sheer quantity adds up to quite a horrifying amount! If you really can’t find another fruit… chopping down the tree and eating all the leaves and trunk might still let your finger regrow…”@@novelbin@@

“…”

Looking at the huge fruit tree before him, Mo Baiye rubbed his temple.

Is that even possible?

This tree is over five meters tall. Cutting it for firewood would yield at least ten thousand pounds… You’re not suggesting I regrow my finger, but rather work like an ox and die from eating!

“Eating this whole tree… not very realistic. Let’s keep looking. There are plentiful treasures in the Tri-Colored Land; if we can’t find a Cloud Leaf Fruit, there should still be some medicine of similar efficacy.” Ling Yusheng saw his difficulty and suggested.

“That’s the only choice left…” Mo Baiye nodded, consumed a pill to regulate his chaotic energy, and healed his injuries before agreeing, “Let’s continue searching for treasures…”

His voice hadn’t faded when suddenly, dazzling light shot out from the forest ahead, and the three colors in the sky seemed to be releasing from that very spot.

“This is… the core of this Tri-Colored Land, the treasure vault within this divine domain must be evolved from this artifact, let’s go check it out!”

His eyes lit up, and Mo Baiye, paying no heed to anything else, rushed forward with large strides, and the others quickly followed.

Soon, they reached the area.

The light not only attracted them but also other people who had entered the Tri-Colored Land. Not only were Mo Baiye’s several recruited helpers there, but Su Chen and Wen Lingxun, who had come later, were also standing not far away, each of them filled with excitement.

“Master Mo, the artifact is about to appear. How about we cease hostilities for now? Once the treasure emerges, whoever can forge it shall claim it!” Seeing them arrive, Su Chen frowned slightly and couldn’t help speaking out.

“Agreed!” Mo Baiye glanced at the others and nodded.

Although the overall strength of the other side was inferior to theirs, a battle would certainly leave both sides injured, and there was a good chance some would not make it out alive!

Given that, it was best to coexist peacefully for now and see what the treasure was.

“Very well!” Relieved by his agreement, Su Chen no longer spoke, but instead looked ahead.

Mo Baiye remained silent and also gazed forward.

Before them was a massive rock wall, encircled by light, and dense and pure Heavenly Mandate Vitality meandered slowly on its surface, exuding a heart-palpitating aura.

“Such majestic Heavenly Mandate Vitality… This, this is the Strength of a Fourth-Level Destiny!” Mo Baiye’s pupils contracted.

In the Source World, there are eight pathways of First-Level Destiny, twenty-four of the Second-Level Heavenly Destiny, and ninety-nine of the Third Level Destiny. Subtracting those lost and unable to be inherited, the number of Pseudo Immortals who truly control at least Third-Level Destiny and above is probably no more than a hundred!

Even if Fourth-Level Destiny was not among them, it was still an exalted status below only one person and above tens of thousands!

If he could comprehend it, his strength would surely soar. Not just advancing to Galaxy 7-dan, but breaking through the Galaxy Realm to reach even higher realms would not be too difficult!

“It’s just not clear which specific destiny this is…”

The Yuan Power in front of them was purified and indistinguishable as to which fragments of the heavens it belonged to, making it difficult to inherit.

Buzz!

The tri-color light soon ceased, and on the rock wall appeared a giant stone door leading to a deep cave that stretched far beyond sight.

In front of the stone chamber stood two statues about the height of a person, like door guardians, at each side.

Mo Baiye examined closely.

The statues had flat faces with no discernible features, but their clothing, down to their long robes and gesturing postures, was meticulously crafted.

The stone chamber and statues, however it was considered, seemed rather ominous.

“The treasure should be inside the stone chamber…” Ling Yusheng spoke quietly.

“Right!” Mo Baiye nodded.

“Should we charge in first?” Glancing cautiously at Fei Ling and others not far away, Ling Yusheng’s gaze was resolute, “I was wrong earlier, this time I’ll cover you. You charge in first, just don’t forget me when you get the treasure…”

“I’ll come with you!” Mu Hongtao also nodded, “Though Su Chen and Wen Lingxun are both at Galaxy 6-dan just like us, if we both exert our full Strength, holding them off for a few breaths shouldn’t be a problem!”

“Charge in first? Are you guys okay?”

Hearing their discussion and determination, “Brother Du” finally understood why these two had mistaken his identity and attacked Mo Baiye.

“Brother Du, what do you mean by that?”

Mu Hongtao looked puzzled when he heard this.

Brother Du was speechless: “You may have the surname Mu, but your brain isn’t made of wood. Leaving aside whether to charge in or not, do you see any intent in them to compete with us for it?”

Mu Hongtao was stunned, exchanging glances with Ling Yusheng, then they looked at Su Chen and the others. They saw them standing quietly in place, almost as if they hadn’t noticed the appearance of the stone chamber, each with hesitation in their eyes.

“It seems they truly aren’t competing… But why?” Mu Hongtao was still confused.

Normally, wouldn’t these people rush towards a revealed treasure? Why were they not moving?

“Could it be because…”

Before Mo Baiye could articulate his thoughts, laughter from Su Chen echoed from the opposite side.

“Master Mo, since you entered this Tri-Colored Land first, it’s only right for you to explore this relic first…”

Mo Baiye smiled, “The treasure belongs to the one with virtue. Since you arrived here first, I think you should go ahead; we can follow. I’m not in a hurry…”

“Haha, Master Mo jests; I’m not in any rush either!” Su Chen laughed, “I took some injuries earlier and would like to rest a bit. How about you go first?”

Seeing both parties deferring and neither willing to go ahead, Mu Hongtao was utterly baffled.

When did everyone become so agreeable?
