The mountains here were pitch black in color. However, the trees and vegetation growing among them were lush and emitted various kinds of light. Some trees reached a hundred feet in height, with copper-green trunks and dark red leaves. Others were ancient trees, no more than six or seven feet tall, yet their branches were three feet thick, with bare twigs that seemed utterly lifeless.

These mountains were peculiar, and the trees were strange as well.

Ye Wushuang stepped into the forest, the Tianya Sword in his hand flickering with light. After delving tens of miles into the forest, he suddenly saw figures appearing ahead. Scattered across the mountainside were over a hundred people, standing alone or in pairs, or even in threes, all in different positions. However, their gazes were all fixed on one direction.

Ten miles ahead, there was a mountain that soared a thousand feet into the sky. But this mountain was extremely unusual; it only had half a mountain body, as if it had been cleaved in two by a sword descending from the heavens, with the other half missing entirely. At the summit of the mountain, there grew lush trees with branches swaying in the wind, emitting a soft and refreshing glow that was soothing to the soul.

These trees were as tall as a dozen or even several dozen feet, with remnants of leaf stalks at the top and densely interwoven adventitious roots below. The stem ends and the bases of the leaf stalks were covered with scales, which were dark brown and narrowly lanceolate in shape. Upon closer inspection, beneath the scale-like leaves, there was a crystalline and translucent light flickering.

At the sight of this, Ye Wushuang’s expression turned serious.

“Sacred Alsophila Trees!”

The trees growing on the mountain peak were indeed Sacred Alsophila Trees. These trees require an extremely rich supply of spiritual energy from the heavens and the earth to grow. Moreover, the trees on the mountain peak were also bearing oval-shaped, beautifully glowing fruits.

Sacred Alsophila Fruits!

Generally speaking, it takes a thousand years for a Sacred Alsophila Tree to grow to a height of several dozen feet. To bear Sacred Alsophila Fruits, it takes at least three thousand years. During this process, the tree absorbs the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth, as well as the essence of the sun and the moon, to nurture the fruits, which are naturally endowed with extremely powerful effects.

The most significant effect is to help cultivators transform their own power. From the Spirit Palace Stage to the Tiangang Stage, the spiritual energy is transformed into Tiangang energy, which is a transformation of one’s power. From the Tiangang Stage to the Wanfa Stage, the spiritual energy is transformed into Wanfa energy, which is also a transformation of one’s power. It can be said that the Sacred Alsophila Fruit has a natural benefit in helping cultivators break through to the next stage. Moreover, it is also extremely beneficial for cultivators at the Wanfa Stage to break through to the Guiyuan Stage.

No wonder so many people had gathered here in such a short time to watch. Ye Wushuang’s arrival also caught the attention of a few people on the periphery. However, they only glanced at Ye Wushuang before turning their gazes back to the Sacred Alsophila Trees. At this moment, everyone had just entered the space of the Heavenly and Earthly Gates, mostly fighting alone and not yet finding their friends or fellow disciples. This could be seen from the various groupings of two or three people present.

Ye Wushuang stopped to the side and did not attract much attention. Looking around carefully, he saw people at both the Tiangang and Wanfa stages. Moreover, he could sense the aura fluctuations of Wanfa Stage six and seven from some of them. With Ye Wushuang’s current peak Tiangang Stage, defeating someone at the third level of Wanfa was not too difficult. However, facing someone at the sixth or seventh level would be quite challenging.

Moreover, at this moment, the more outstanding one’s performance, the more likely they were to be targeted by others. At present, the closest to the mountain wall were about three or four groups of people. These three or four groups were also the strongest people present. There were seven people in total, and the weakest among them had the aura of the fifth level of Wanfa.

The seven people did not hesitate to display their powerful auras, seemingly to intimidate others. But the Sacred Alsophila Fruits were just too tempting, and no one wanted to leave. They had come to the Heavenly and Earthly Gates to seek opportunities and adventures. With the treasure right in front of them, even the slightest chance was something no one wanted to give up!

At this moment, the person on the far left of the mountain wall said with a smile, “It seems everyone is very tempted by the Sacred Alsophila Fruits. Who gets them will depend on luck!”

“Wu Xuran, there are probably more than ten Sacred Alsophila Fruits on the mountain peak. Do you really think you can get them all for yourself?”

On the far right, two burly men, dressed in light armor, stood together. These two men looked similar in age and appearance, and they were likely brothers. They apparently knew the middle-aged man on the far left.

“He is Wu Xuran, a well-known ruthless man from Qingzhou, at the seventh level of Wanfa.”

“This guy is heartless. It is said that his enemies were all tortured to death by him, and his methods are very cruel…”

“He looks so gentle and refined, doesn’t seem like it!”

“You fool, you can’t tell anything from appearances!”

Voices of discussion kept echoing around.
