Chapter 2243 - Fun Is Going To Begin
The Sovereign's Ascension
Lin Yun opened his mouth in shock and wondered if he had heard incorrectly. Li Feibai is so calm and composed even though he is about to die? Lin Yun asked, âBrother Li, are you messing around with me?â
âDo I look like someone who would joke around? Itâs just a fatal injury. Donât tell me that youâre so inexperienced?â Li Feibai replied.
The corner of his lips twitched as Lin Yun replied, âBrother Li, youâre truly extraordinary.â
âTo someone like me whoâs blessed by fortune, fatal injuries can also be considered an opportunity, and I wonât die so easily. Didnât I run into you?â Li Feibai said.
âSo Iâm your fortune,â Lin Yun mocked, looking at Li Feibai.
But Li Feibai didnât hear the sarcasm and said, âItâs good that you know. Letâs go.â
Lin Yun ultimately couldnât hold back his laughter.
âWhat are you laughing at?â Li Feibai asked, suppressing his anger.
âThis is my first time seeing someone asking for help in such a stubborn tone,â Lin Yun chuckled. Although he didnât mind helping Li Febai, this personâs attitude was really unpleasant.
Li Feibai laughed and calmly said, âI know the location of the Divine Blood Fruit.â
Lin Yunâs face changed upon hearing that, and he looked at Li Feibai.
âLetâs hurry up. I wonât compete with you for the Divine Blood Fruit, so you can feel relieved about it,â Li Feibai said, confident that Lin Yun could accept it.
Lin Yun gave a glance at Lilâ Red.
âDonât believe me?â Li Feibai asked.
âLeave carrying men to me. My Big Brother only carries women,â Lilâ Red soared to the sky and changed into an Ancient Dracoape, lifting Li Feibai.
âOnly womenâ¦â But before Li Feibai could finish, he exclaimed, and was already on the Ancient Dracoapeâs shoulder when he came to his senses. The turmoil made him throw out a mouthful of blood, his face pale.
After seeing his pale face, Lin Yun jumped up and finally believed Li Feibai. He asked, âAre your injuries alright? Do you want me to take a look? I might be able to help you.â
Li Feibai waved his hand, and he said, âThereâs no need. Iâm not injured, but Iâm suffering from the Blood Poison. Iâll be fine after leaving here. Hmph, chop the tree in front of you.â
Li Feibai pointed at a tree in front as he spoke, letting Lin Yun cut it down.
As Lin Yun drew the Flower Burial Sword, the tree was cut down, and the surrounding fog became lighter. But before Lin Yun could respond, a few spears were flying in their direction. Those spears gave off such a huge pressure that even Lin Yunâs palm began to tremble.
âLetâs go! It has discovered us!â Li Feibai said.
But Lilâ Red was one step slower, taking a spear and nearly falling to the ground. As Lilâ Red swayed, Li Feibai was nearly thrown off, but Lin Yun quickly reached out to hold him.
âLetâs go immediately! Donât stop!â
Lin Yun didnât know what was happening, but he comforted Lilâ Red and called it to increase its speed. Thereafter, Li Feibai would occasionally get Lin Yun to chop down some trees, and Lin Yunâs sight became clearer. His sword intent could sense that they were swiftly leaving this place. He asked, âWhatâs going on?â
âA Demon-Refining Tree is living in these woods, and the entire area is controlled by it. Ten-odd people have tried to attack it earlier to get the Demon-Refining Fruit, and I obtained the best one amongst all of the Demon-Refining Fruit. You can even call it the Myriad Demon Fruit,â Li Feibai explained.
Lin Yun was surprised because he had heard of the Demon-Refining Tree before, but it was rare to see one still alive. He asked, âSo youâre being pursued by that Demon-Refining Tree?â
âNot really. It canât move around, so it sets up a confusion array that stops anyone from leaving, and youâll ultimately go to its territory, just like you did. But youâre lucky that I made a move, or you would be dead if you took a few more steps forth,â Li Feibai said. This made Lin Yun furious because it turned out that Li Feibai was the mastermind behind all of this.
But Li Feibai didnât know about that and took out the Myriad Demon Fruit. He smiled, âThis is even rarer than the Divine Blood Fruit. The Divine Blood Fruit is useless to Saint Lords, but the Myriad Demon Fruit is different.â
Lin Yunâs eyes lit up when he looked at the Myriad Demon Fruit, emitting a faint red radiance and fragrance. In the fog that it released, Lin Yun could sense saint daos within it, and it felt like lesser realms when he got closer to sense it. Each lesser realm had a flower or spiritual beast in it.
âHaha, not bad, right?â Li Feibai smiled smugly, âDo you know why Iâm not competing with you for the Divine Blood Fruit now? The Divine Blood Fruit wonât have much of an effect on you. Your Blood Cloud Saint Fruit can be considered a treasure, but itâs nothing compared to my Myriad Demon Fruit.â
âYou were around?â Lin Yun asked.
Li Feibai stowed the Demon-Refining Fruit and calmly said, âDidnât I tell you that if Iâm not willing, you wonât be able to discover me? That Liu Yunlan was still guessing who you were, but I could recognize you with a glance. Aside from you, no one could perform a sword technique so ethereal.â
Lin Yun smiled, âItâs hard to receive your praise.â
âEthereal isnât exactly a good praise. It can also mean too fancy and unrealistic. Regarding sword techniques, you still have to look at Skysolute City,â Li Feibai rolled his eyes.
Lin Yun merely smiled and said nothing about it. Li Feibai might be harsh with his words, but he was gradually becoming weaker, and he only had half of his life left when they were about to leave the woods.
When Lin Yun wanted to check Li Feibaiâs condition, the latterâs lips trembled, and he refused to let Lin Yun check his wounds. He said, âIâm fine. Iâll be fine after we leave the woods.â
When they were out of the woods, Li Feibai jumped down from the Ancient Dracoape, took a pellet, and placed it in his mouth before meditating. He was enveloped in a saint radiance with a lotus beneath him.
âBig Brother, this fellow is annoying. Why donât weâ¦â Lilâ Red stared at Li Feibai, feeling that this person was filled with treasures.
âI feel that we should just knock him out and strip him naked,â Lilâ Red said furiously. Li Feibai looked down on Lin Yun multiple times and even wore a smug look while speaking about the Myriad Demon Fruit, which was getting on its nerves.
âNo need. This person might not be likeable, but heâs not bad,â Lin Yun said as he waited by the side.
A few minutes later, Li Feibai opened his eyes and no longer looked weak.
Now that Lin Yun noticed it, Li Feibai looked rather pretty, and he was amazed by how Li Feibai recovered so quickly.
Li Feibai smiled, âFlower Burial, I didnât bluff you, right? Fatal injuries are nothing.â
Lin Yun finally acknowledged his words, and said, âAlright. But why didnât you use the antidote since you had it with you?â
âThe Poison Relieving Pellet has to be used with the Dragon Jade Flame Lotus. How could I dare to use it in the woods? I would only die faster in that case. Furthermore, thanks for guarding me,â Li Feibai said.
âWhereâs the Divine Blood Fruit?â Lin Yun went straight into the topic.
âNo idea,â Li Feibai replied.
Lin Yunâs face sank when he heard that and released his murderous intent, looking at Li Feibai coldly.
Li Feibai looked at the Flower Burial Sword deeply and smiled, âYour murderous intent is pretty terrifying. I wonder how many lives you have taken. Iâll stop teasing you now. I donât know where the Divine Blood Fruit is, but I can bring you to where it will be.â
As he spoke, he took out a white mouse and caressed it. He explained, âThis is the Snow Jade Mouse, which possesses an ancient bloodline. So it can remember the treasures that it has smelled before.â
âIt has smelled the Divine Blood Fruit before?â Lin Yun asked, looking at the Snow Jade Mouse.
âOf course.â Li Feibai caressed the mouse as he placed it on the ground and gently spoke with it. As the Snow Jade Mouse sniffed the air, it began to lead the way.
âIt has already been so long. Will others take the Divine Blood Fruit?â Lin Yun shared his concern. He had to get the Divine Blood Fruit no matter what and bring it back to the Dragon Origin Great Saint.
âYou donât have to worry about that. Phenomena will accompany the appearance of a Divine Blood Fruit. Even if someone has discovered it, they could only wait for it to ripen,â Li Feibai said.
Suddenly, the Snow Jade Mouse became excited. When Li Feibai squatted down and allowed it to crawl to his palm, he smiled, âWe have determined the location now.â
As he spoke, he placed the Snow Jade Mouse on the ground and it dashed out with Lin Yun and Li Feibai following behind it, but they could only see a white blur.
âWhat speed!â Lin Yun was shocked.
âThis Snow Jade Mouse is a little timid. Its talent is all put into running. In terms of escaping, even a Great Saint might be unable to catch up with it,â Li Feibai said. âIf it was not to look for your Divine Blood Fruit, I wouldnât have let it out.â
âThank you,â Lin Yun said.
âThereâs no need to thank me. I might be hateful, but I will keep my promiseâ¦â Li Feibai said, and he looked at Lil' Red.
Lin Yun coughed because Li Feibai had heard what Lilâ Red said earlier.
The Snow Jade Mouse stopped on a mountain, where Lin Yun saw a massive valley. Various flowers were on the ground, and many saints were waiting there. Practically all of the holy landsâ disciples were present. Aside from that, some saints looked extremely old, and anyone could tell that they would soon run out of life span.
Seeing so many people here, Lin Yun was certain that the Divine Blood Fruit was here.
âSee what I said?â Li Feibai said as the Snow Jade Mouse returned to his sleeves.
âSo many peopleâ¦â Lin Yun wore a grave expression as he clenched his fist.
âThis is nothing. If the divine flame appears, youâll know what huge chaos means, and there are many ruthless people here in the Heavenly Void,â Li Feibai said as he toyed around with his hair, smiling.
Lin Yun looked at Li Feibai and smiled, âPeople say that Iâm arrogant, but youâre the arrogant one in my eyes.â
Li Feibai accepted that evaluation and smiled, âThis is nothing, so donât worry.â
âYouâre not going to leave?â Lin Yun asked.
Li Feibai was surprised as he looked at Lin Yun. He asked, âYouâre weird. Donât tell me a Quasi-Saint like you dares to compete for the Divine Blood Fruit? A swordsmanâs fangs are terrifying, but they wonât last long. The moment someone sees through you, you wonât be able to live even if you have nine lives. Since you saved my life, I will naturally repay it. I will help you to obtain the Divine Blood Fruit. I donât need it, but you can just give me a few leaves.â
Lin Yun was speechless, not knowing if Li Feibai was serious with what he said.
âHa, this fellow is a show-off,â Lilâ Purple complained from the Iris Secret Realm.
Li Feibai ignored what Lin Yun thought as he retreated to the side to rest, acting as though he would compete for the Divine Blood Fruit.
Lin Yun held onto his chin because he couldnât read this person.
Three days later, phenomena appeared as an indigo divine radiance bloomed before soaring to the sky. Lin Yun and Li Feibai opened their eyes as everyone in the valley stood up.
Li Feibai smiled, âI guess the fun is going to begin?â
