Zhao Manyan was in a bad mood. Mo Fan and Mu Bai already made contact with the Super Level, yet he was still stuck at the Advanced Level. How was he going to boast about his talents if they went to find hookers together?
That being said, the wooden clapper did not show any interest in the Horn of the Deer God. Perhaps its energy was incompatible since Baxia was a Totem Beast in the ocean, while the Deer God was related to the sky!
What kind of Totem Power would be compatible, then?
Mo Fan gladly claimed the Horn of the Deer God while Zhao Manyan was lost in his thoughts. Little Loach could slowly absorb the Totem Power of the Horn of the Deer God after it was placed inside the Space Ring.
Little Loach was extremely satisfied. The Totem Power of the Horn of the Deer God suited its appetite perfectly. It was even stronger than the Totem Power it had taken from the Moon Moth Phoenix before!
They had come a long way for the Tree of Vows, and almost died as a result. Mo Fan was overjoyed after his efforts finally paid off.
Little Loachâs speed of absorption did not disappoint Mo Fan. He soon felt the energy essential for him to achieve the Super Level inside what Little Loach was feeding him!
âYou should keep the energy first. I donât have time to cultivate right now!â Mo Fan quickly told Little Loach that there was no need to rush it, seeing how loyal it was.
Mo Fan would have no problem reaching the Super Level with the help of the Deer Godâs Totem Power. He just needed to cultivate in seclusion for some time!
The cold Wind of Sorrow swept and shook the colorful leaves vigorously. Jiang Shaoxu lifted her eyes and pointed above the Tree of Vows, âThey are still going higher. Should we catch up to them?â
âLittle Moon Moth Phoenix wonât be able to endure the Wind of Sorrow any further,â Yu Shishi told them.
Yu Shishi had hoped that Little Moon Moth Phoenix would be able to reach a greater height, but her physical strength was no match for the Silver Skyruler and the other Ruler creatures. Their current height was likely Little Moon Moth Phoenixâs limit. She might freeze to death if she tried to go any higher.
Not only was Little Moon Moth Phoenix struggling against the Wind of Sorrow, the rest of the group had no chance to resist the extreme wind, either!
âHopefully, the other winged beasts are stronger than the Silver Skyruler,â Zhang Xiaohou mentioned.
âThe Silver Skyruler is very strong among the Ruler-level creatures. Thereâs nothing we can do in this competition for the throne of the Emperor of Feathers. Letâs hope our country is blessed by the Heavens. Otherwise, another great disaster is going to come from the Qinling Mountains,â Jiang Shaoxu murmured.
âWith your father around, no city in the Central Plains will be in danger, even if the Silver Skyruler managed to take over the Qinling Mountains!â Li Dexin swore.
âKnowing how grim the situation of our country is, itâs better if we can lessen the threats,â Jiang Shaoxu replied.
Zhang Xiaohou was still looking up. His eyes were fixed on the winged beasts flying to greater heights after passing the Tree of Vows, including a formidable silver figure.
Even though the Black Totem Snake was able to beat the crap out of the Silver Skyruler, these Ruler-level creatures were still too strong for them. They would most likely be wiped out if they dared to provoke the Silver Skyruler!
Zhang Xiaohou clenched his teeth. If only his cultivation was a bit stronger, he would definitely chase after the Silver Skyruler, even if he could only stop the Silver Skyruler from claiming the throne of the Emperor of Feathers. He knew what the terrifying consequences would be once the Silver Skyruler claimed the throne better than anyone else!
Mo Fan knew what Zhang Xiaohou was thinking. He patted his friend on the shoulder and said, âForget it, you can take on the responsibility in the future. With your cultivation and the help from the military, the day when you are strong enough to face the Silver Skyruler wonât be far away, even if it does become the Emperor of Feathers of the Qinling Mountains.â
Zhang Xiaohou nodded. He understood where Mo Fan was coming from. Going after the Silver Skyruler now was suicide. He would not give up if it was within his capabilities, but if something was beyond his capabilities, he had no choice but to set it aside for now. He had to hold his ground no matter what happened. He needed to be confident about his future!
âThe Tree of Vows has some rare fruits. Iâll ask Little Moon Moth Phoenix to pluck them for you, but Iâm afraid we wonât have a chance to see the Sacred Waterfall. Weâll bring the fruits back to prove that we reached this height!â Yu Shishi declared.
The Tree of Vows was like an old home to the Little Moon Moth Phoenix. She was very familiar with its surroundings.
The Tree of Vows was the home of some special creatures. They were hiding behind the colorful leaves and observing the outsiders alertly. However, they did not attack them since the Moon Moth Phoenix was around.
Little Moon Moth Phoenix plucked some fruits and split them among the group.
âWhat can I use this for?â Ling Fei asked.
âThe fruitâs effects differ between people. You can just bring it back and eat it. Consider it a blessing for being able to find the Tree of Vows, but a creature can only eat a single fruit from the Tree of Vows. After the first fruit, eating more of the fruit wonât bring you any benefits, and it might harm you instead,â Yu Shishi said.
âThe fruits of the Tree of Vows are similar to the Blessing of the Godâs Seal from the Parthenon Temple. You should treat it preciously. We only have the chance to claim them after reaching our current altitude during the Ceremony of the Winged Beasts...â Jiang Shaoxu said.
âAre you serious? Itâs comparable to the Blessing of the Godâs Seal?â Mo Fan and Zhao Manyanâs eyes widened simultaneously.
âMm, itâs a permanent blessing, but I have no clue if itâs as effective as the Blessing of the Godâs Seal. It might only be a minor improvement to our strength,â Jiang Shaoxu said.
âAre the fruits really that impressive? Little Moon Moth Phoenix, I have a basket here! Can you please fill it up with the fruits for me?â Mo Fan asked the Little Moon Moth Phoenix shamelessly.
âAre you going to eat the fruits like they are rice!?â Yu Shishi snapped.
âI can give them to the others, or even auction them in the marketplace. I bet they are as expensive as a huge building in a city!â Mo Fan exclaimed.
âMo Fan, she already said that the Tree of Vows will only grant its fruits to the creatures that have reached it. It wonât give the fruits to those that have never been here,â Lingling said.
âOh, thatâs true...â Mo Fan felt it was a pity. However, he was curious when he recalled Jiang Shaoxuâs words. He asked, âJiang Shaoxu, itâs your first time here. How do you know all this?â
âI read it in my brotherâs journal. Itâs the reason Iâm here,â Jiang Shaoxu said.
âJiang Shaojun has been here, too?â
âMm, Iâm following the trail he left. I might be able to bid him farewell for real once I reach the end of it!â Jiang Shaoxu smiled.
