Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough-Chapter 1714: Spiritual Tree Fruits (2)

"So, this is the reason why you two decided to ask for my help?" Standing at the base of the towering spiritual tree that pierced through the clouds above, the Middle Stage Dao Seed Realm cultivator could not help muttering this to himself as he glanced over at the two other Dao Seed Realm cultivators standing behind him with exhausted expressions on their faces.

From a single glance, it was clear that the pressure was already affecting them, and they wouldn’t be able to advance much further, let alone attempt to climb up the side of the towering tree where a few dazzling spiritual fruits could barely be seen from where they were standing.

Although the Middle Stage Dao Seed Realm cultivator had not originally known what he might find, he was more than excited when he saw those spiritual fruits hanging above. Part of him even feeling a sense of desire that he had never felt before when looking up at those spiritual fruits, as he had to do his best to stop himself from rushing up to grab them recklessly.

After all, he still had no clue what kind of danger could be lurking around the spiritual tree and wanted to get a better understanding of his surroundings before attempting to climb up the side of the towering spiritual tree.

Not attempting to get his hands on those spiritual fruits wasn’t even a thought that crossed his mind after he saw them, as he could clearly sense that those spiritual fruits would be crucial for his breakthrough to the Profound Immortal Realm. Potentially even allowing him to directly break through to the Profound Immortal Realm after he consumed them!

The temptation of something like that simply wasn’t something he was able to give up on... And even if it was at the risk of his life, he would do everything in his power to try and get his hands on those spiritual fruits.

The reason why those two Dao Seed Realm cultivators had decided to ask him for help instead of someone stronger was rather simple, as they were clearly hoping that he would be able to bring down one of those spiritual fruits for them. They themselves being far too weak to resist the pressure subconsciously released by the spiritual tree to climb.

In a sense, given that the difference in strength between all of them wasn’t that big, all things considered, they felt confident that he would get a spiritual fruit for each of them to keep them quiet about the spiritual fruits that would soon be in their hands. After all, it was clear to everyone who was present just how precious those spiritual fruits were.

If any of their seniors above the Dao seed Realm learnt about the existence of these spiritual fruits, they would undoubtedly resort to force and take them away forcefully.

Eating them immediately wasn’t an option, as the massive quantity of spiritual qi inside those spiritual fruits would instantly kill them. Meaning they would have to rely on slow absorption for the spiritual fruits, something that would take time.

As for the Dao Seed Realm cultivator that had been following the group of three from the Explorer Union from behind... He was fully intent on taking the opportunity when everyone was distracted to try and snatch one of the spiritual fruits before escaping.

Although he had no way to deal with someone at the Middle Stage of the Dao Seed Realm at his current realm, he had more than one way to run away, something that a longer-lived cultivator like himself was especially proficient in.

In a sense, a Dao Seed Realm cultivator that had lived long enough normally had countless methods to ensure their own safety, as they would never have lived as long as they had without countless life saving techniques and methods at hand. Making it difficult for even someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm to kill some of these longer-lived Dao Seed Realm cultivators who had been around for over 50.000 years...

Watching all this playing out from afar, Xuan Hao could not help wondering whether these few Dao Seed Realm cultivators would find a way to survive when they inevitably ended up provoking the spiritual tree or ended up dying like he was expecting. Even if the spiritual tree wouldn’t react to someone climbing up its towering body, he was certain that it would react when someone touched or tried to take away those spiritual fruits.

But... Maybe that is a good thing, if those four can distract the spiritual tree for a bit, I might be able to take advantage of the situation to take a few of those spiritual fruits before escaping...

Narrowing both his eyes as he thought this to himself, his gaze inevitably fixed onto the dozen or so spiritual fruits hanging just below the crown of the towering spiritual tree.

Given his current comprehension of the Dao of Space, even if the spiritual tree was fully awakened, it wouldn’t be able to prevent him from escaping unless it had some way to restrain or seal the space around it... And even that would only be temporary, as he would be able to find a way to break such a situation with his current understanding of the Dao of Space already having reached the Peak of the Perfection Realm.

The only worry he had was that the spiritual tree would be able to launch an attack and hit him before he could grab one of the spiritual fruits and escape.

A single attack from a spiritual tree that had at least reached the Land Creation Realm and was stronger than a normal Land Creation Realm from what he had seen during its battle with the ruler of the Frozen Wastelands not long ago... He doubted he would be in a great situation even if he somehow managed to survive.

But... This worry had mostly been put to rest, as those four eager Dao seed Realm cultivators had willingly decided to draw the spiritual tree’s attention for a brief moment. Giving him the time he would need to cross the short distance between himself and the spiritual fruits hanging from the crown of the spiritual tree.

All he needed to do now was wait and get ready to move the second the spiritual tree was provoked and decided to attack those Dao Seed Realm cultivators...

Rustle~

And he didn’t have to wait for long, as the Middle Stage Dao Seed Realm cultivator was far too impatient to wait around after seeing those spiritual fruits. Only briefly investigating the base of the towering tree before he began to eagerly climb up the side of the towering spiritual tree with all his might.

However, as he watched the Middle Stage Dao Seed Realm cultivator start climbing up the towering spiritual tree filled with anticipation, it wasn’t long before that anticipation faded. "This... Is slower than expected..."

Unexpectedly, he realized that the climbing speed of the Middle Stage Dao Seed Realm cultivator was only a bit faster than that of a normal mortal climbing up a tree due to the terrifying pressure subconsciously released by the spiritual tree. Making the situation rather lackluster to watch after he realized how long he would be waiting for that person to reach the top of the spiritual tree where the spiritual fruits were growing.

10 hours? No, maybe 14 hours- or an entire day and night before he reaches the top at his current speed...

Finding a comfortable place outside the forest domain of the spiritual tree, Xuan Hao casually laid down on the soft grass before closing his eyes, Xuan Hao understood that this situation wouldn’t come to conclusion any time soon and thus decided to relax a bit and ensure that he was fully rested for facing off against the spiritual tree when the time came.

The entire situation was completely different from the Middle Stage Dao Seed Realm cultivator from the Explorer Union, who was currently sweating buckets as he used all his strength to climb up the towering spiritual tree while enduring the terrifying pressure that reduced him to nothing more than a normal mortal.

Even then, seeing the glistening spiritual fruits above, he felt motivated in continuing his climb. Not daring to relax as he continued climbing without any break. Intend on reaching the top as fast as possible, as that would mean getting his hand on those spiritual fruits faster.

The danger that might be involved in picking those spiritual fruits had been thrown to the back of his mind, as he already viewed the pressure he was facing as the trial set out for the spiritual tree to test those who wanted to get their hands on the spiritual fruits and only by enduring the pressure would one be worthy of getting those precious spiritual fruits.

Of course, this was entirely his own thoughts about the situation he was facing and had nothing to do with reality where the spiritual tree simply didn’t care about his presence due to how weak he was and the pressure he believed to be some kind of trial was merely a bit of pressure that leaked out subconsciously from the towering spiritual tree during its recovery process.
