Without the constraints of the gourds, Pu Baixiong regained his freedom and lay down on Yang Kai’s body, chuckling, “Little brat, you’ve taken advantage of me. This gourd vine was also obtained by you. Let me tell you, these little gourds are all tender and delicious, if you can stew them… what are you doing?”
As he spoke, Pu Baixiong was shocked because he had suddenly been grabbed by Yang Kai and was now staring at his head!
Seeing the look in Yang Kai’s eyes, how could he not know what Yang Kai was planning? He quickly covered his head with his roots and shouted, “Little brat, you can’t repay kindness with ingratitude! I was willing to sacrifice myself to help you just now!”
Yang Kai gulped and said, “One, just one. You have so many grapes, it doesn’t matter if you have one less!”
Regardless of whether he agreed or not, Yang Kai reached out and plucked a grape from Pu Baixiong’s head and directly threw it into his mouth. As the pure medicinal efficacies exploded in his mouth, Yang Kai felt his exhausted body suddenly become nourished and his strength rapidly rose.
Yang Kai had tested the medicinal efficacy of this grape before and knew that its medicinal efficacy was extraordinary. If not for this, he wouldn’t have set his eyes on Pu Baixiong.
Although Gou had been knocked unconscious by Little Mushroom, no one knew when he would wake up, so it was best to quickly recover.
Pu Baixiong held his head in his hands and sat on Yang Kai’s chest, cursing, “Little heartless brat, Grandpa Pu saved you for nothing.”
As he cursed, the roots danced around Yang Kai’s body, but with his strength, how could he harm Yang Kai in the slightest?
After less than half an incense stick’s worth of time, Yang Kai was once again in high spirits. Although he hadn’t fully recovered, he had at least restored sixty percent of his strength. The effects of the grapes were still taking effect, and with his own recovery ability, it would only take a few days for him to reach his peak.
Rising to his feet, Pu Baixiong, who was cursing loudly, quickly shut up, no longer daring to act arrogantly. Glancing at Yang Kai timidly, seeing that he had no intention of settling the score with him, Pu Baixiong flattered, “Old Master, that gourd vine is a good thing, don’t miss it.”
There was no need for him to explain. Yang Kai had suffered a great loss before, and it could be said that the reason why the man surnamed Gou had been able to fight him so well was because of the power of the Gourd Vine. Although his strength was not bad, there was still a gap between him and the current Yang Kai.
Summoning Little Mushroom, Yang Kai took the gourd vine from her hand and waved it around. The seven gourds on the vine said in unison, “Don’t be noisy, we’re sleeping.”
Pu Baixiong said from the side, “Old Master, this gourd vine has its own rules. Whoever holds it will be able to control these seven little things.”
“You don’t need to refine it?” Yang Kai was stunned.
Pu Baixiong pondered for a moment before asking, “Is there a need?”
Yang Kai thought about it for a moment and felt that it was just as Pu Baixiong had said, this gourd vine was able to display its power without any need to be refined. After all, it was a Holy Medicine, an existence similar to Pu Baixiong and Little Mushroom, so how could it be refined?
This also explained why Little Mushroom was able to bring the gourd brothers back into the Gourd Vine after obtaining it.
Yang Kai was overjoyed! This Gourd Vine was a great killing weapon, and now that he had obtained it, his strength had greatly increased!
However, this was still just an external force. To a cultivator, their own strength was their foundation. Although Yang Kai was overjoyed, he didn’t lose his head. To him, the greatest value of this gourd vine was the Fifth Grade forces it contained. With this Holy Medicine in hand, it meant that in the future, he would have an endless supply of Fifth Grade forces to use, allowing him to create a steady stream of Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage!
This item was priceless!
If this thing was brought to the outside world, it would definitely be an artifact that could suppress the destiny of an entire region. It couldn’t be easily exposed, otherwise it would lead to a fatal disaster!
Carefully testing it out, Yang Kai placed the gourd vine into the Mysterious Small World. After discovering that the Mysterious Small World could accommodate it, Yang Kai relaxed and directly planted the gourd vine into the medicine garden.
Although the Mysterious Small World was also a world of its own, the laws of this world were not perfect and could only accommodate ordinary living things, but it could not accommodate Open Heaven Stage level existences. This was because Open Heaven Stage cultivators had a small universe world inside their bodies, so forcefully containing it would only cause chaos in the Mysterious Small World. In the worst case, it might even cause the entire Mysterious Small World to collapse.
Grabbing Pu Baixiong and Little Mushroom, he placed them on his shoulder and stepped forward, quickly arriving next to the man surnamed Gou.
The sound of snoring filled the air. This guy was sleeping soundly, completely unaware of the impending danger!
Although Little Mushroom wasn’t good at direct confrontations, she was still a manifestation of the Profound Bright Imaginary Mushroom. If he didn’t find a way to save himself, it wouldn’t be surprising for this man surnamed Gou to sleep for a year or so.
Yang Kai bent down and took his Space Ring, carefully searching it, but couldn’t find an identity token.
He had used the Dao Breaking Seal several times, and Xu Zhen had even suspected that he was from Purple Exquisite Paradise. If that was the case, he must have a token on him. Not only was this token a symbol of the status of these Cave Heaven Paradise disciples, but it was also likely to contain a Divine Ability left behind by their masters. If his life was in danger, this Divine Ability would be activated.
How could Yang Kai dare be careless?
However, since he didn’t have an identity plate on him, it meant that he wasn’t a disciple of Purple Exquisite Paradise. The fact that he was able to use the Dao Breaking Seal was likely something Jin Wu had taught him.
Just like how Zhu Jiuyin had imparted Yang Kai’s Defying Yin-Yang Five Elements Mysterious Universe to him, it was highly likely that Jin Wu had a Bearer from Purple Exquisite Paradise many years ago, so it wasn’t strange for him to know about this Dao Breaking Seal.
After confirming that there was no danger, Yang Kai struck out with his palm, sending out a burst of energy. With a muffled groan, the sleeping Gou exploded into dust!
Since the other party wanted to take his life, Yang Kai naturally wouldn’t show any mercy.
After dealing with this man surnamed Gou, Yang Kai looked up towards the only bubble left.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this bubble was the key to this World Fruit. Before, this entire world was composed of countless bubbles, each of which was incredibly large, but this bubble was only the size of a palm.
Yang Kai walked up to the bubble and examined it carefully, but didn’t find anything special about it.
Stretching out his hand, Yang Kai easily caught this bubble in his palm, and with a slight push, the bubble burst.
Pu Baixiong exclaimed, “Old master, you broke it!”
Yang Kai was also dumbfounded. He hadn’t used much strength just now, he hadn’t expected this bubble to be so fragile.
Just as he didn’t know what to do, his vision flashed, and by the time he came back to his senses, he was already standing under a large tree. The tree’s crown covered the sky and there were thousands of translucent fruits hanging from its branches.
It was the Three Thousand World Tree!
‘I came out?’ Yang Kai was at a loss. Just as he was wondering what was happening, he suddenly felt something appear in his hand. Looking at it, it was a World Fruit.
He had no idea when he had plucked this fruit!
The fruit was not big, only about the size of a palm, similar to that of a bubble. It was crystal clear and fragrant, causing Yang Kai’s Adam’s apple to tremble.
Pu Baixiong’s eyes lit up as he stared at the World Fruit.
Little Mushroom gulped and said, “This fruit looks so delicious!”
Yang Kai carefully examined it and found that it was indeed a Low Rank World Fruit. It could allow a Low Rank Open Heaven Stage cultivator to directly advance one level, with the limit being Third Order. In other words, a Third Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator wouldn’t be able to use this fruit to advance to the Fourth Order, while a Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator could only use a Mid Rank World Fruit.
Retrieving the World Fruit, Yang Kai carefully recalled that he had caught the last bubble in the fruit's world and then picked the World Fruit. Now it seemed that the last bubble was indeed the key.
He couldn’t help feeling relieved. Fortunately, he had fought a great battle with the man surnamed Gou and caused all the other bubbles to shatter, otherwise how could he have found such a small bubble? This thing was hidden in countless bubbles and was pitifully small, so no one would care about it.
It was a slight pity that this was just a Low Rank World Fruit. Even if it was valuable, it wouldn’t be too valuable.
Looking up at the World Tree, Yang Kai was stunned.
At this moment, there were still 2999 fruits left on this fruit tree. In other words, he was the only one who had picked them.
The others hadn’t come out yet? There had been hundreds of people who had entered the different World Fruit, and Yang Kai had been entangled with that man surnamed Gou for many days. He had thought his speed was slow, but who would have thought he would be the first one to emerge?
Looking around, Yang Kai looked down the mountain and was stunned.
Pu Baixiong followed his gaze and asked suspiciously, “Old Master, what are you looking at?”
“Those people!” Yang Kai stared down and saw many cultivators moving forward, wanting to leave the mountain. These cultivators had all been forced to retreat. Xu Zhen had said that although the World Fruit was amazing, if one was trapped in the World Fruit's world, they would never be able to escape. At that time, many people had felt fear and decided to go back the way they came, but the path up the mountain was difficult and the path down the mountain was also extremely dangerous. From time to time, insect fog, and lightning would attack them, causing them to panic.
Grape was puzzled, “What’s so good about these people?”
Yang Kai slowly shook his head, “Don’t you think it’s strange? We spent at least a month in the World Fruit's world, so why haven’t they left yet?”
Grape thought about it for a moment before nodding, “Now that you mention it, it really is quite strange.”
Yang Kai’s eyes lit up, “Unless the time in the World Fruit's world is different from the outside world.”
He had been entangled with the man surnamed Gou for more than a month in the World Fruit, so it was likely that only a short time had passed outside!
With a wave of his hand, a cultivator was pulled close to Yang Kai. This person was the closest to Yang Kai and was currently dodging a lightning strike when he suddenly returned to the peak of the mountain. He wanted to cry but had no tears, “Sir Yang, please spare my life, I am from Emperor Heaven, our leader has a friendship with you, please spare my life!”
Yang Kai said gently, “Don’t be afraid, I have something to ask you!”
“Please ask, Senior, I will tell you everything I know!”
“How long has it been since your Leader entered that World Fruit?”
The man was startled and didn’t know why Yang Kai would ask such a question, so he didn’t dare to hide it and quickly replied, “It’s only been a cup of tea time!”
As expected! Yang Kai’s eyes lit up.
Just as he had guessed, the time in the World Fruit's world was completely different from the outside world.
