Chapter 930: Consuming the Holy Fruit

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Palace Lord... that child is my disciple...” Saint Emperor Cao said with his mouth gaping.

“Isn’t it all the same? In any case, everyone is doing this for the future of the Misty Illusory Manor. On that basis, it’s only natural that the child gets the best teacher.” The palace lord said sanctimoniously.

Cao Guo Feng was completely speechless.

Those were the exact words that he’d wanted to say. However, the other party said it first.

“Palace Lord... he has already accepted me as his master. Y-you... you can’t snatch it by force; this... this is not good.” Cao Guo Feng was so frustrated that he was about to beat his chest and stomp his feet...

“That’s no matter; when his injuries have healed, you can just expel him from your discipleship. It’s not a problem at all; I won’t mind...” The palace lord continued happily.

What? You don’t mind? You definitely wouldn’t mind. However, we mind! Us seven brothers would all mind very much...

Bai Qi Feng stepped forward and clasped his fists respectfully. “May Palace Lord bear with my words. In order to bring this Free and Natural Physique disciple back this time, eldest brother Cao did not hesitate to fall out with the people of the three Holy Lands, fighting with Zhan Mu Bai for a long time, even exchanging blows with He Zhi Qiu and Hai Wu Ya. Along the way... we even fell into the ambush of those bastards from the three Holy Lands. If not for eldest brother Cao, rallying everyone to charge out with our lives on the line, we would have already been wiped out. That was not all. In that scuffle, the disciple was heavily injured by those evil bastards, resulting in his life hanging by a mere thread. If not for eldest brother Cao selflessly sacrificing his own lifeforce using the taboo Return of Spring Skill to save him, he would have already...”

Bai Qi Feng’s tone grew more and more agitated as he spoke. “Also, not long ago, while we had almost reached the Illusory Manor, we ran into the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master who wanted to kill us. If not for that malignant star suddenly having an urgent matter to attend to and left in a hurry, we would all be dead right now! Palace Lord, eldest brother Cao had really contributed too much for this youth. Furthermore, this is the ONLY disciple that he’d taken in in hundreds of years!”

He did not finish his words, but that last sentence was exceptionally heavy. It was as if he were shouting: You can’t snatch from him! Nobody may snatch from him! Even if you’re the Palace Lord, it’s still not an exception! Bai Qi Feng’s skinny face was filled with impassioned rage. His eyes were bright and scorching, causing others to avoid his gaze.

Seeing how agitated Bai Qi Feng was, it was likely that if the palace lord still wanted to insist on snatching away this disciple, Bai Qi Feng would surely start scolding and shouting. It was even possible that they would start fighting..

The crowd fell silent in a moment. Nobody had thought that Cao Guo Feng had actually done so much for this youth. In a moment, nobody spoke. But after some time, a sharp voice rang out. “Bai Qi Feng! You dare to speak in that manner? You’d better watch your tone! Is that how you speak to the Palace Lord? Absolutely rude and insubordinate!”

Hearing that, Bai Qi Feng was even more enraged. Turning around swiftly, he opened his mouth, ready to curse back.

At this time, the Palace Lord waved his hand and smiled lightly. “Saint Emperor Bai has his own reasons for speaking that way. Since Saint Emperor Cao has already contributed so much for this child, this Seat will not insist! In that case, this child shall go under the tutelage of Saint Emperor Cao. Also, although Saint Emperor Bai’s words had been a little too brash just now, he said those words out of indignation for his brothers. Those were merely sincere words spoken out of zeal; there’s no need to take offense. To have people of such genuine character in our Misty Illusory Manor should be a cause for celebration; how can we blame him instead?”

“Palace Lord’s magnanimity and wisdom is admirable.” The crowd clasped their fists and said respectfully.

The palace lord took two steps forward and smiled. “What is there to admire? When you saw that others had taken in a good disciple just now, didn’t you wish to poke your nose in for a share as well?! Thinking about it now, wasn’t it still because your mental states are still not refined enough? Actually, no matter who the disciple comes under, isn’t it still the shared fortune of our Misty Illusory Manor? The reason Saint Emperor Cao went so far as to risk his life for this child, even using the Return of Spring Skill while burning his own lifeforce... could it be that he’d done all that for himself? Everything is also for the sake of the Misty Illusory Manor. Saint Emperor Cao’s actions should be what everyone should admire!”

Cao Guo Feng immediately clasped his fists and bowed. “Palace Lord overly praises me.”

This journey had been exceedingly trying. Just thinking back to the entire sequence of events left his heart trembling with fear. Of all the countless life and death situations he’d experienced in the past few hundred years, nothing could match the dangers they’d encountered in this single journey!

The palace lord chuckled lightly and continued. “Since everyone’s original basis and motive is in consideration for the Misty Illusory Manor, why is there a need to vie against each other? Let’s do it like this... this child will be Saint Emperor Cao’s disciple and will be considered as a successor of Saint Emperor Cao’s legacy. However, apart from Saint Emperor Cao’s martial skills, everyone can also teach him your unique skills; there’s no need to be stingy. The sooner a genius with the Free and Natural Physique grows into power, the sooner our Misty Illusory Manor will rise in strength. What does everyone think?”

“Palace Lord is wise; this suggestion is perfect! We agree.” Everyone bowed together.

At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps rang out from afar. The footsteps sounded like the person was still several hundred zhang away, but in the next instant, the person who’d ran off to retrieve the Seven Colored Holy Fruit had already returned.

With a whooshing sound, several afterimages burst into the hall as an aged voice cried out anxiously. “I heard that our Illusory Manor has a disciple with the Free and Natural Physique?”

Following that, another seven, eight voices rang out, all filled with excitement and incredulity. This news had simply been too sudden!

For a legendary physique to appear in front of them, these several thousand years old experts with immeasurably deep cultivation could hardly contain their emotions!

In the next moment, several old faces were squeezed together, hovering above Jun Mo Xie. Their gazes were fervent and filled with infatuation, as though they were admiring the most exquisite work of art in the world. After that, seven, eight aged old hands stretched forward and began feeling and kneading his body from head to toe, leaving nowhere untouched...

Jun Mo Xie very nearly squirmed and jumped up out of disgust.

Dear Heavens ah, great Earth ah, I’ve actually been molested by a bunch of old perverts! F*ck... why do I feel like a Japanese actress...

“Indeed... it’s indeed the Free and Natural Physique of legends...” The old fellows all mumbled with disbelief, as though they were in a dream.

For the legend to truly appear in front of their eyes, all the experts were incredibly agitated and filled with endless praise!

A freakishly rare talent like this was naturally not something that anyone from the mundane world could compare with. There was truly no longer any need to worry about not having a successor to hold the Misty Illusory Palace up in the future!

“This genius had been hurt to such an extent; why isn’t anyone administering the treatment?” An old fellow jumped up and roared with rage. “If he accidentally died, what will we do?”

Everyone’s faces were filled with black lines as they pursued their lips.

If not for you bunch of old fogies suddenly turning up, insisting on checking if the kid really possessed a Free and Natural Physique, the Seven Colored Holy Fruit would have already entered this kid’s stomach by now, reviving him from the point of death...

The palace lord coughed awkwardly a few times and said, “Uncle Master... don’t be anxious, this youth’s life is still not in danger for the time being...”

“What not in danger? Brat, are you blind? From this old man’s perspective, his life is very much in danger! Look... this area is turning black, and even his tongue had hardened. This child could turn into a Free and Natural corpse at any time! And you still say don’t be anxious?! Are your brains flooded with water?!” The old man jumped up and unleashed a fierce tirade with spittle flying all over the place. From the looks of it, he was truly anxious. Otherwise, even though his seniority and status were above the palace lord, it still wasn’t appropriate to speak like that to the leader of the Illusory Palace.

The palace lord’s face turned somewhat red, and he shouted fiercely: “Bring the Holy Fruit over!”

He had decided not to bother about those old fellows. If he continued bickering with them, by the time they were done, that Free and Natural Physique child would have already died.

A light pa sound rang out, as if something had been popped open. A strange fragrance permeated the entire area, and the hall was filled with the ethereal smell. As soon as one breathed in the scent, their heads was filled with a refreshing sensation, and their spirits were soothed.

The palace lord personally picked up the Holy Fruit and brought it to Jun Mo Xie. With a light swish of his finger, the skin of the fruit was split open, and the ripe fleshy pulp inside instantly turned into liquid.

Following that, Jun Mo Xie felt his chin being lifted, and his mouth was opened. Then, any icy cool liquid was poured into his mouth, travelling down his throat and into his stomach. The liquid was very sweet, yet not thick as to cause one to feel sick of it. It was simply too delicious...

Young Master Jun savored the taste, his mouth opened wide as he waited for more. Such an excellent tasting fruit, even if he ate a thousand or 800 a day, it wouldn’t be too much ah...

Following that, another icy cold taste permeated his tongue as another trickle of juice was poured down his throat. Jun Mo Xie waited in anticipation of the taste. All of a sudden, an exceedingly bitter taste burst forth in his mouth, causing him to almost retch in response. However, he still remembered his current state; he was still supposed to be heavily injured and unable to move...

Was is the Seven Colored Holy Fruit or the Chinese goldthread ¹ ? Why the f*ck is it so bitter? Even Chinese goldthread is not as bitter as this right?!

As his thoughts wandered, another round of juice entered his mouth. This time, it was extremely spicy!

If Jun Mo Xie hadn’t used the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune to control his body at will, he would have burst into sweat from the spiciness. Before the spicy taste subsided, his tongue was covered in sour juice so astringent that his tongue nearly shrivelled up and dropped off. Young Master Jun felt as if he’d been thrown into a pickling jar and left to ferment... It was simply too, too sour! Before he could react, another taste followed...

Just like that, he experienced the extremities of sourness, sweetness, bitterness, spiciness, saltiness—the five tastes of life. Fortunately, the sixth taste was much simpler, being completely tasteless like water, allowing him the chance to recover his senses. Following that was the seventh taste. It was an exceedingly strange taste, as if tastes and emotions of all living beings in the world were concentrated in this seventh fruit. Even the feelings of despair, sadness, joy, happiness, and so on were all culminated in this taste!

When all seven fruits were consumed, Jun Mo Xie instantly felt a ball of flame rise up in his dantian, instantly burning through his entire body. Seven powerful energies rampaged through his veins and merged with his dantian forming a massive torrent flow. After that, it rushed into the meridians with a firm and steady momentum!
