I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 326: Supreme Treasure Of The Dragon Race, Dragon Source Fruit

Chapter 326: Supreme Treasure Of The Dragon Race, Dragon Source Fruit

“What a big Tree of Enlightenment. This is completely unprecedented!” w.a.n.g Shenxu’s voice was shaking. “This Tree of Enlightenment must be at least over a million years old!”

Qi Shaoxuan also looked very shocked. He stared at the leaves on the tree, his eyes filled with pure longing and desire.

This was a Tree of Enlightenment. A legendary treasure that could permanently enhance a cultivator’s ability to understand and gain enlightenment. It was an extremely rare and precious treasure.

Even the leaves of that tree in Jixia Academy could be exchanged for superior-grade Spirit artifacts.

This Tree of Enlightenment was way older than the one at Jixia Academy. Its leaves would be at least 10 times more potent.

The leaves from this tree would be enough to exchange for supreme-grade Spirit artifacts or even Sage-level artifacts from a Sage who was in urgent need of enlightenment.

After all, this was such a rare commodity. The leaves from the Tree of Enlightenment had always been a much sought-after treasure across the five regions, and this particular tree was so old.

Amongst all the treasures in the five regions over the past 10,000 years, a treasure of this grade was few and far between.

Its value was beyond description!

Of course, although the Tree of Enlightenment was full of leaves, not every one of them was effective.

For most of the leaves, the exotic markings had yet to be fully formed. The potency of such leaves was much lower.

Only the leaves, whose markings were complete, the images of cauldrons, dragons, phoenixes, qilins, etc., were fully presented, possessed unsurpa.s.sed power.

And those leaves were at least 100,000 years old. The potency of an old leaf that had been nurtured for hundreds of thousands of years was immeasurable!

They exuded a jade-green glow, like s.h.i.+mmering stars, as they dangled from the tree.

Of course, there weren’t that many of those kinds of leaves.

Shen Tian estimated that there were only about a few thousand on the entire Tree of Enlightenment!

Don’t think that a few thousand was a lot. It should be pointed out that this Tree of Enlightenment was several thousands of feet tall. It was as high as a large mountain.

A few thousand silver enlightenment leaves spread across this ma.s.sive tree meant that there was only about one such leaf on every level.

This also meant that for every fully-formed leaf, there were thousands of immature ones!

At the same time, those fully-formed leaves could also be divided into different grades.

The higher up the leaves were, the more complicated their markings. They also radiated a more dazzling glow.

Meanwhile, those fully-formed leaves’ markings at the lowest levels were relatively spa.r.s.e, with a dimmer glow. It was obvious they had just been nurtured for a few years.

Leaves growing above 1,000 feet were of a more superior grade. They were l.u.s.trous as jade and exuded a thick aura. Just looking at them made one’s heart feel lighter.

Leaves growing above 2,000 to 3,000 feet could not even be called leaves anymore. The markings made them appear like mini cauldrons, phoenixes, kuns—all looking very life-like.

And surrounding those leaves were mysterious and profound avatars.

It was clear that this Tree of Enlightenment’s leaves were of top quality. After being nurtured for tens of thousands of years, they possessed a startling potency.

If a normal prodigy could consume a cup of tea brewed from those leaves, their ability to gain enlightenment would be instantly raised by several levels. They could become an elite prodigy.

And at the very top of the Tree of Enlightenment was a round-shaped leaf.

It was like a piece of white jade, exuding a cold s.h.i.+mmer, like the full moon hanging in the sky.

Cold, pristine, untouchable!

...

This was the divine tree growing on the icy Yin patch of the Yang lava pool.

Meanwhile, there was another giant tree growing on the other side of the Yin-Yang Two Eyes.

This ma.s.sive tree was as high as the Tree of Enlightenment. It was completely covered in scales and looked exceptionally robust and mighty.

Its branches were like long, serpentine divine dragons spreading out of the tree, exuding an intense dragon aura.

Fruits that looked like huge eggs were growing on this tree, their surface covered in faint dragon markings.

As the fruits swayed in the breeze, the faint roar of dragons echoed through the air, the sound of which left a lingering fear in the hearts of those who heard it.

These fruits emitted a reddish-gold glow. The higher the fruits on the tree, the more dazzling the glow. Those around the top looked like miniature suns.

Meanwhile, the fruit right at the top was too dazzling for anyone to stare straight at it.

“Wow, don’t tell me this is the Dragon Source Tree!?”

Ao Wu gaped as he stared at the giant tree.

The Dragon Source Tree was not that famous amongst the other races across the five regions.

But to the Black Dragon race, this was a tree of incomparable value. It was even more important to them than the Tree of Enlightenment.

This was because the fruits on this tree could greatly enhance the bloodline of a dragon.

It was rumored that the Dragon race’s top prodigy Ao Bing, had obtained a high-quality Dragon Source Fruit from this tree 10,000 years ago and managed to successfully attain Rank-9 bloodline.

Before that, Ao Bing only had a peak Rank-8 bloodline. She had been very close to attaining Rank-9.

To be able to help Ao Bing make that final step into the Rank-9—it could be imagined just how important this Dragon Source Fruit was to the Black Dragon race.

Of course, the Dragon Source Fruit was also beneficial to the cultivators from other races. It could greatly enhance the strength and toughness of their physical bodies.

But there were many other precious treasures that could improve one’s physical body. Compared to that, the Dragon Source Fruit was much more effective in enhancing the bloodline of the Black Dragon race.

“Brother Shen, you... You have really found a great treasure!” Ao Wu’s face was flushed red. “If I can obtain the Dragon Source Fruit, you will become the great savior of the entire Black Dragon race!”

Actually, the Black Dragon race had already treated Shen Tian as their great savior.

If not for Shen Tian, their most-esteemed prodigy Ao Bing would still be pinned down by a sword!

But if Ao Wu could also attain a Rank-9 Black Dragon bloodline, it would bring about a new, prosperous era for the Black Dragons.

And Shen Tian would be the one who set it all in motion. He would be the great savior of the entire Black Dragon race!

...

Looking at the two ancient trees, w.a.n.g Shenxu chuckled. “How do we divide up these fruits?”

Qi Shaoxuan said mildly, “Brother Shen was the one who found this mystic realm, as well as the previous Black Tortoise realm. We owe him a great favor. Thus, for these fruits, we should just take what we need. The rest should all belong to Brother Shen.”

w.a.n.g Shenxu replied thoughtfully, “You are usually an idiotic fool, but this time you finally said something right.

“No problem. Brother Shen has done so much for me. I don’t mind giving him those treasures!”

Shen Tian was amused. “It’s better that we split it according to how much work we each put in! These two divine trees have been growing here for so many years but still have so many fruits on them... I am afraid it won’t be that easy to pick them.”

Ao Wu nodded as he explained, “Brother Shen is right. It is very difficult to pick the Tree Enlightenment’s leaves and the Dragon Source Fruits. They are one with the trees themselves. They can even borrow the power of the Yin-Yang Two Eyes domain to fend off our efforts.

“According to my race’s ancient records, the Tree of Enlightenment and Dragon Source Tree would only appear on full-moon nights. They would immediately disappear again after encountering their first batch of fated cultivators.

“So we don’t have much time left. We only have this one night!”

At that, Ao Wu had already executed his race’s mystic arts to start attracting those Dragon Source Fruits.

But as he mentioned earlier, those Dragon Source Fruits were no easy pickings. The dragon markings on their surface possessed wondrous energy.

As Ao Wu executed his mystic arts to pick one of the Dragon Source Fruits, the surface of the fruit formed a reddish-gold barrier to block against his attempts.

This barrier was extremely firm. Even with Ao Wu’s peak Golden Body abilities, he was unable to break through immediately.

Qi Shaoxuan’s eyes hardened. “Let me help you!”

At that, a tremendous purple aura appeared behind Qi Shaoxuan, forming a giant fist. It reached out toward the Dragon Source Fruit.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the other fruits started to vibrate.

The dragon patterns on their surface also exuded a dazzling golden light, merging and lending their power to the first fruit.

The glow of that Dragon Source Fruit surged and completely blocked off Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu’s attack. The fruit remained unharmed.

...

“What a powerful defense. I can’t break through it!”

Qi Shaoxuan looked shocked and somewhat disbelieving.

He did not put in his full power for that Purple Giant Fist, but it was at least at about 80%.

That single palm attack would flatten a normal, relatively powerful cultivator. But it couldn’t even pluck a tiny fruit?

Shen Tian smiled. “If I am not wrong, those fruits cannot be plucked by hand. This is the rule of divine trees.”

Ao Wu nodded. “Yes. Only prodigies who are powerful enough can gain the divine trees’ acknowledgment and be gifted with the fruits.

“If we work together, the Dragon Source Fruits’ defense mechanism will magnify accordingly and become even more powerful.

“And the more fruits we pluck, the more defensive the rest of the fruits will become.”

With that, Ao Wu looked somewhat despondent.

The Dragon Source Fruit he was eyeing was clearly not an easy pick.

And those fruits at the lower levels had dimmer glows and didn’t look that ripe.

They would be practically useless in helping him attain the Rank-9 Black Dragon bloodline.

If I knew that I would encounter this Dragon Source Tree, I would have worked harder in the past to break through to the Nirvana stage! Boohoohoohoo!

My mere Golden Body cultivation level is too weak!

Ao Wu was sobbing on the inside!

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light erupted by the side.

Shen Tian was engulfed in a golden glow. He looked like he was encased in gold.

He reached out his right hand, and a jade-green vine crept toward the Dragon Source Tree.

He chose a fruit that was even higher than the one Ao Wu was targeting. It exuded a more intense light and dragon aura.

Upon sensing Shen Tian’s attack, the fruit’s surface markings s.h.i.+mmered as it formed a thick barrier.

But it was useless.

The jade-green vine was doused in a silver liquid. Its power was beyond comparison.

Rumble!

The reddish-gold barrier was penetrated. Reddish-gold light shot out like streaks of blood, completely unable to defend against the vine.

The vine curled around the Dragon Source Fruit and tugged downward. The fruit landed right in Shen Tian’s hands.

“Brother Shen is so great. You successfully plucked a Dragon Source Fruit with just one move!”

Ao Wu’s eyes were filled with adoration. He was indeed the most powerful prodigy across the entire Eastern Wilderness!

Brother Shen is indeed more powerful than Brother Shaoxuan!

...

Standing by the side, Qi Shaoxuan felt a sour feeling in his heart.

Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Shenxu was hunched over, still caught in a dilemma.

Should I expend some life energy to try plucking one fruit? What if I fail to get the fruit?

My life energy is limited. I really cannot afford to waste any!
