Yue He and the others had arrived a long time ago and were eagerly waiting for Yang Kai to arrive. After occupying a piece of territory, they waved at him.
After meeting up, they asked about Yang Kai’s experiences over the past month, all of them shocked.
After some idle chatter, Yang Kai said, “Senior, it’s time to talk about this Unaging Land.”
“I don’t know,” Zhu Jiuyin shook her head.
Yang Kai was stunned, “How could you not know?” He had never asked Zhu Jiuyin for information about the Unaging Land before, he thought that when the time came, Zhu Jiuyin would explain everything to him, but who would have thought he would receive such an answer.
“This Queen can’t enter the Unaging Land, so how could i know?” Zhu Jiuyin snorted. If these Holy Spirits, could enter the Unaging Land, why would they need to choose a Bearer? They would have already personally fought for this opportunity.
Yang Kai frowned and said, “Although you can’t enter, didn’t you have a Bearer before…” As he spoke, Yang Kai suddenly understood. Zhu Jiuyin had a Bearer before, but that Bearer had died inside, so she really didn’t know what was happening inside.
“Then what do you know? What do I need to do after I go in?” Yang Kai asked.
Zhu Jiuyin replied, “I only know that there are countless treasures inside, but the most important thing is the Innate Fruit Tree. Every time the Unaging Land opens, the Innate Fruit Tree will appear, but only one Innate Spirit Fruit can be plucked and it will disappear. If we, the native Holy Spirits, want to leave the Great Ruins Boundary, we must consume that Innate Spirit Fruit, so it is called the Seizing Spirit's War.”
“Innate Spirit Fruit!” Yang Kai’s eyes lit up. Anything with 'Innate' in their name would be extraordinary.
Zhu Jiuyin rolled her eyes at him, “Don’t think too much about it, those fruits won’t be of much use to you. We Holy Spirits were born in the Great Ruins Boundary and grew up in the Great Ruins Boundary, but we were also trapped in the Great Ruins Boundary. Fortunately, there is always a way out, and those Innate Spirit Fruits were born specifically for us. If you can pick that Innate Spirit Fruit and bring it to me, you will definitely benefit greatly.”
Yang Kai nodded in agreement, but in his heart, he didn’t think much of her words. Zhu Jiuyin was probably afraid that he would eat the Innate Spirit Fruit, so she said such words. As for whether it was useful or not, he didn’t know for now.
“Where the Innate Fruit Tree is, you’ll need to find it yourself. As for what the Innate Spirit Fruit looks like, you’ll need to figure it out yourself. Don’t try anything funny, just obediently bring the Spirit Fruit to me and this Queen won’t mistreat you.”
Yang Kai nodded repeatedly, thinking that once the Spirit Fruit was in his hands, it would no longer be up to her.
Seemingly sensing Yang Kai’s thoughts, Zhu Jiu Yin looked at him deeply, a mocking smile appearing on her face.
“Senior, I’m going to see a few old friends over there, please accompany me,” Yang Kai pointed in the direction of Xu Zhen and the others.
“What’s there to see? Don’t cause unnecessary trouble. This Queen needs to adjust her aura, so you just stay here obediently,” Zhu Jiu Yin coldly snorted and sat down cross-legged. She had consumed a lot of energy during this past month, so she naturally wanted to quickly recover.
Yang Kai was speechless as he glanced over at Xu Zhen and the others, shaking his head.
Without Zhu Jiu Yin’s protection, Yang Kai didn’t dare to go alone. Needless to say, the Holy Spirits who had been pursuing Zhu Jiu Yin wouldn’t easily let go of this opportunity to kill him. As long as they could kill him, Zhu Jiu Yin’s plan would fall through, so they naturally wouldn’t hesitate to take action.
Time passed slowly as the two hundred thousand people gathered outside the Unaging Land and waited quietly.
One day more than a dozen days later, the ever-changing colorful light suddenly froze for a moment before quickly twisting and distorting. At the same time, all the World Energy in the Great Ruins Boundary began to madly rush towards this place, stirring up a violent wind and sending sand and stones flying.
All of the Holy Spirits’ expressions changed as they looked towards the entrance to the Unaging Land.
“It’s about to open!” A Holy Spirit shouted.
The two hundred thousand people immediately became spirited and focused their attention on the door.
Zhu Jiuyin also opened her eyes and glanced over, stretching out her hand, “Boy, come here.”
Yang Kai obediently walked over, “What instructions does Senior have?”
“There’s only one thing to say, this trip can only succeed, it cannot fail. If you fail, it will be of no value to me, do you understand?” Zhu Jiuyin looked at him lightly.
Yang Kai nodded expressionlessly, “Naturally.”
“Good.”
At the same time, many Holy Spirits were also urging their respective Bearer to either try their best or threaten them.
Gu Pan stood in front of One-Legged Bull and said seriously, “Grandpa Niu, don’t worry, I’ll definitely pick that Innate Spirit Fruit for you and take you away from here.”
One-Legged Bull transformed into a kind old man, his hair and beard all white, his long eyebrows reaching his chest as he smiled and said, “Do your best, the most important thing is for you to return safely.”
Gu Pan nodded vigorously.
The Feiyi also transformed into its human form and had two heads. It looked extremely sinister as it hissed, “Ugly Lady, if you fail, don’t blame this king for eating you.”
“Eat, eat, eat, all you know how to do is eat all day. When I get back, I’ll take that Innate Spirit Fruit and taste it in front of you,” Qu Huachang said angrily.
Feiyi’s expression changed slightly, “I was just joking. En, you must bring that Innate Spirit Fruit to me, I will give you many benefits.”
On the other side, Xu Zhen covered his head in anger, “Just speak properly, why do you keep beating me up?”
As Zhu Yan’s fist smashed down, Xu Zhen’s forehead suddenly bulged and a buldge appeared on his head, shining brightly. Zhu Yan said, “If you don’t bring that Innate Spirit Fruit to me, I won’t just beat you up, do you hear me?”
Xu Zhen gnashed his teeth, “Just you wait, when I take you out, I’ll make you my mount for five hundred years!”
Zhu Yan sneered, “If you really have the ability, then what harm is there in me becoming a mount for five hundred years?” The Holy Spirit’s life was long, so five hundred years was nothing more than a snap of their fingers.
“If you succeed, you live, if you fail, you die!” Leviathan Shark looked at Lin Feng and said concisely.
Lin Feng’s face turned ashen, “You don’t need to say anything.”
Not far away, Ning Daoran wore a relaxed expression as he watched the Zhujian transformed into a middle-aged man with a worried look on his face, “Boy, you should be careful. That Innate Spirit Fruit is extremely important to me, so when it’s time to snatch it, you must not show any mercy.”
Ning Daoran bowed and said, “Senior can rest assured, I will definitely do my best.”
The Zhujian sighed, “If only that were the case.” In its heart, it felt indignant. How could it have chosen such a person as its Bearer? With such a carefree attitude, how could he achieve great things?
…
The World Energy continued to gather towards the door of the Unaging Land, and the colorful light became more condensed and dazzling.
It wasn’t until three days later that the coloful light suddenly fell, and soon after, a pair of invisible hands separated the coloful light, revealing a colorful passage that led straight to the Unaging Land.
Everyone’s spirits rose as they looked inside, but they couldn’t see anything.
In the Unaging Land, the door had opened.
Among the crowd, a few figures transformed into streaks of light and disappeared into the colorful passage in the blink of an eye. However, there were some who couldn’t hold themselves back and took the lead to rush in.
As soon as this happened, more than two hundred thousand cultivators rushed towards the gate. Although this gate was large, there were simply too many people gathered here. When all of them rushed in, some of them were immediately pushed out of the colorful passage and fell into the deep darkness.
Screams rang out as the bodies of the cultivators who had been forced out of the colorful passage were stripped of their flesh and blood. In less than three breaths of time, they had been reduced to piles of bones, and soon after, their bones were also broken and scattered into dust, completely disappearing from this world.
“There’s a great danger outside the passage!” Someone shouted in horror, his face pale as he quickly retreated.
As for the cultivators who noticed this, they no longer dared to squeeze in, lest they be forced out of the passage and suffer some kind of misfortune.
Many Holy Spirits watched this scene happily, causing the cultivators to curse. These Holy Spirits obviously knew about this situation, but none of them warned them. Obviously, in the eyes of these Holy Spirits, their deaths weren’t worth paying attention to. All they needed to do was look after their Bearer, so how could they care about others?
With the deaths of hundreds of people, everyone knew how dangerous it was outside the passage. The Bearer were all very careful and stayed far away from the edge of the tunnel.
But soon, a change occurred and a cultivator who was walking in the middle of the tunnel screamed miserably as his flesh and blood were torn apart and turned into bones.
The surrounding cultivators all turned pale with fright as they turned their heads, not understanding what was happening.
It wasn’t just a single cultivator, but more than a dozen of them had suffered the same fate and died miserably in various parts of the colorful passage.
This scene caused many cultivators to be shocked, not knowing why they had died in the passage.
Someone suddenly came to a realization, “Open Heaven Stage! They are all Open Heaven Stage masters, these people cannot enter the Unaging Land, or theu will die!”
Hearing this shout, everyone came back to their senses and carefully thought about it. The dozen or so people who had died were indeed all Open Heaven Stage cultivators.
Under the leadership of several Managers, Scarlet Star’s group was just about to step into the passage when the Chief Manager heard this and immediately stopped. Behind him, Chen Tian Fei and the others also broke out in cold sweat.
The few of them had almost stepped into the tunnel, but if they had, they would have died miserably.
Not far away, Yang Kai’s face sank as he turned to look at Zhu Jiuyin, “Senior, Open Heaven Stage cultivators cannot enter this land?”
Zhu Jiuyin looked at him deeply, “If Open Heaven Stage could enter, how could I possibly ask you to be my Bearer?” The Sword Pavilion’s Pavilion Master was a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master, so Zhu Jiuyin will naturally chose him.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Yang Kai was furious.
Zhu Jiuyin smiled lightly, “Is it too late to say that now? You have nothing to lose.”
Yang Kai suppressed his anger, “It’s not too late!”
This was quite troublesome. He had originally been thinking of bringing Yue He and the others with him. If he could obtain an Innate Spirit Fruit in the Unaging Land, it would be for the best, but if he couldn’t, he would take them and flee.
Although Zhu Jiuyin’s strength was strong, Yang Kai was also prepared, so he might be able to escape her pursuit.
Now, everything had become empty talk. Since Yue He and the others couldn’t enter the Unaging Land, they had to stay behind with Zhu Jiuyin, which was equivalent to handing over the hostage to her. Unless Yang Kai didn’t care about the lives of Yue He and the others, he would have to face her after leaving the Unaging Land.
Zhu Jiuyin had obviously anticipated this and deliberately didn’t mention this matter to Yang Kai to catch him off guard.
Both of them were well aware of each other’s intentions, but in the end, it was Zhu Jiuyin who was better.
