Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 217

"The fruit of the spirit will ripen!"

Shouts of surprise sounded from somewhere in the crowd. As the cries fell, the atmosphere in the crowd became extremely hot. Countless pairs of eyes stared intently at the ten spirit fruits on the vine. Almost all of their eyes were shining with green lights.

"Boom…!"

However, just as the crowd was in a frenzy, the huge commotion around the desolate island finally made the geniuses return to their senses. Even if the spirit fruits would ripen, they could not be picked just like that. The spirit beasts in the lake were not insignificant characters. If they were not careful, even geniuses like them could die.

Moreover, aside from guarding from spirit beasts, they also had to be wary of the other geniuses around them. In fact, from a certain point of view, the other geniuses were even more dangerous than the ferocious beasts in the lake!

Therefore, in addition to the hot atmosphere in the crowd, there was also a strange atmosphere that was slowly growing. Apart from fellow disciples from the same faction, everyone was extremely wary of each other.

However, no matter how careful they were, when one saw that the spirit beasts in the lake were unable to contain themselves and suddenly jumped up to devour the spirit fruit on the desolate island, he was finally unable to resist the desire in his heart. He suddenly surged and rushed towards the lake.

However, as he rushed into the lake, his originally flying body suddenly sank into the water. After which, he could no longer jump and could only move forward.

This sudden situation seemed to shock this genius. However, as a genius from a third-rate faction, he was naturally outstanding. He quickly accepted this situation and continued to swim forward.

At the same time, the giant beast that bit the spirit fruit was extremely fast. It was almost touching. However, the situation that everyone expected did not happen. The giant beast that was about to bite the spirit fruit was violently struck. His huge body immediately fell back into the lake, causing a huge wave to rise.

After the giant beast fell back into the lake, the crowd realized that the slender vine was slowly pulling and wrapping around the body of the giant beast.

Clearly, it was this vine that drove away the giant beast!

As if to prove this point, some spirit beasts suddenly rushed over and opened their mouths to bite at the strange spirit fruit they had long craved.

However, just as these Spirit Beasts were about to touch the Spirit Fruit, slender vines suddenly came out. The small vines swept out, but the erupting power was terrifying. It forcibly swept over the huge Spirit Beasts one after another.

This included the impulsive Heaven Pride of a third-rate power. As he tried to rush to the island, a vine swept towards him at lightning speed. Although he used his spiritual energy to block it, he was instantly swept away and fell into the lake in a sorry state.

Failure seemed to have angered the spirit beasts. Seeing that they were unable to eat the spirit fruit, they directed their big, cold eyes towards the genius of a third-rate power.

The situation after that was easy to imagine. Although this prodigy was not weak and possessed the fourth level elixir realm cultivation, it was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands. He was surrounded by so many spirit beasts, and soon, miserable howls sounded. Then, bright red blood stained the surface of the lake, and disgusting sounds of chewing and tearing could be heard.

Although the crowd frowned at this scene, none of them sympathized with the Heaven's Pride of a third-rate power.

He looked to the remote island in the middle of the lake, or rather, to that strange plant. Even Yan Chutian, as one of the Ten Great Wonders, had never seen such a strange Spirit Plant.

In general, if the Spirit Plant wanted to attack, it must have spiritual intelligence. However, in order for the Spirit Plant to have spiritual intelligence, it must grow for many years.

For a Spirit Plant that had grown over countless years to reach the point of spiritual intelligence, even if it was originally an ordinary plant, it would at least have to evolve to the Divine Level.

However, the strange spirit plant in front of him had clearly not reached the divine level. Without reaching the divine level, how could he possess spiritual intelligence and launch an attack?

This made Yan Chutian confused. In the end, he could only helplessly connect it to the special environment here. After all, the star valley was connected to a strange layer between the central plains and the outside world. Even if this was just its periphery, it might be affected to some extent.

However, it was because of this that Yan Chutian was increasingly looking forward to the Spirit Fruit. If he could obtain it, he might be able to use it to break through to the fourth level of the Elixir Realm!

However, in the current situation, Yan Chutian also understood that it was not easy to snatch the Spirit Fruit. Not to mention there were so many geniuses around, it was not easy to snatch the Spirit Fruit from the Spirit Beast and Spirit Plant in the lake alone.

While Yan Chutian was thinking, even though these geniuses were extremely cautious, they were unable to suppress their heartbeats. At the same time, the Spirit Beasts in the lake also kept trying to swallow the Spirit Fruit. There were a few times when they seemed to be succeeding!

Then, when some people rushed into the lake, the remaining geniuses finally did not stop and used their own means to rush into the lake.

However, it did not matter which genius they came from, even if they were the best geniuses in the second-rate army, it was no matter which, they all fell into the water one after another as if the sky above the lake had been sealed and no one was allowed to fly. .

After that, the situation on the lake became extremely chaotic. Ferocious beasts and geniuses continued to try to snatch the spirit fruit. On the sidelines, there were even ferocious beasts attacking geniuses, and geniuses killing ferocious beasts. The surface of the lake continued to turn red, and was extremely bloody.

Especially when one of the geniuses actually obtained a Spirit Fruit, the competition became even more intense. Even if this genius had an incredible background, under the pincer attacks of countless geniuses and Spirit Beasts, he was unable to protect the Spirit Fruit. In the end, he ended up in a sorry state and was severely injured.

Looking at the tragic scenery in the lake, Yan Chutian who was still watching from the beach was inevitably anxious. From the situation just now, it seemed like the Spirit Fruit was impossible to obtain. Even if that strange Spirit Plant was heavily guarded, there would still be a gap.

In particular, Yan Ningzhu quietly approached from the other side. Right now, there were only a few geniuses on the beach. Although the female cultivators of the Hundred Flowers Palace looked weak, they were all more ruthless than men when they fought. Therefore, the only disciple of the Hundred Flowers Palace left on the beach was Yan Ningzhu.

"I have a way to temporarily suppress the Spirit Plant attack, but I'm not sure how long the attack will be suppressed. Maybe just for a few breaths."

Hearing Yan Ningzhu's words, Yan Chutian, who was originally waiting for the opportunity to fish in the troubled waters, had his eyes instantly sparkled. If Yan Ningzhu could really control the Spirit Plant attack for a while, even if it was only for a few breaths, that would be enough.

However, Yan Chutian and Qiu Yu trusted Yan Ningzhu, but Luo Xue obviously did not. He looked at Yan Ningzhu with a cold and meticulous look. He did not know why he had suddenly approached and said such words.
