Chapter 1064: Time to Leave…
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jun Mo Xie came to a sudden realization, and a sincere feeling of pity rose in his heart. The Holy Tree was the only living creature with a conscious in this s.p.a.ce. The people from the Misty Illusory Manor that arrived all treat the Holy Tree respectfully, wors.h.i.+pping him like a G.o.d, and that was the most upsetting period of time for the Holy Tree for losing his old friend…
Finally getting familiar after a few hundred years, that person was at the end of his lifespan, with not much longer to live…
Something like this, if a human were to bear this mental torture… He’d have gone insane a long time ago…
Looks like this tree has already endured almost ten thousand years of this, at least fifty times of this similar painful experience…
No wonder his emotions were so unstable right now, as if he were going through menopause… It couldn’t be helped… It was like a bride who had married fifty husbands but every all of them died halfway…
“I will help you relay the message.” Jun Mo Xie nodded his head sincerely.
“Many thanks.”
When sending Jun Mo Xie off, Lord Holy Tree genuinely revealed some reluctance…
With a whoosh, Jun Mo Xie was sent flying out. Behind him, the branches of the Rainbow Holy Tree curled into a ball, its leaves rustling, its thick trunk was also vaguely shaking…
Although they did not spend a long time together, but the exhilarating feeling of opposing each other with equal harshness earlier was a first in Lord Holy Tree’s entire life… Especially when he received a great benefit from Jun Mo Xie at the end… Of course, he had also forked out a lot, but Lord Holy Tree’s naive and innocent child-like emotions were unable to accept Young Master Jun’s departure…
The rustling of the branches and leaves were clearly his sobs…
Then there was a strong gust of wind and the entire towering figure of the Rainbow Holy Tree suddenly vanished completely…
“Jun Ye!”
From afar, Miao Xiao Miao’s elated cries could be heard. She came das.h.i.+ng over, quickly hugging Jun Mo Xie with such great force that they were practically about to merge into one…
Miao Xiao Miao was laughing happily when her tears suddenly begin to fall. Pressing herself into Jun Mo Xie’s chest, she began to sob. The tears instantly left a soaking wet patch on Jun Mo Xie’s clothes…
These were not only tears of fear that she had held back. It was also the tears of her delight and her happiness…
Although Jun Mo Xie was only gone for half a day, but during this short period of time, to Miao Xiao Miao, it was as if a few centuries… Miao Xiao Miao almost gave up all hope a couple of times. The loneliness of this wait was extremely tormenting to a young, teenage girl. If it was not for her firm belief that Jun Mo Xie would definitely return, Miao Xiao Miao may have broken down a long time ago…
Now, Jun Mo Xie had managed to return without a single scratch on him. How could she not be overjoyed at the turn of events…
“Don’t worry… I am fine, I’ve never been better.” Jun Mo Xie gently patted her back and comforted her gently.
From far away, Miao Huan Yu silently watched this couple that was in a tight embrace, feeling extremely heartened… Although the Holy Tree still did not pick a successor… but it was a father’s greatest joy to know that his daughter was in good hands…
Compared to this, nothing else was important!
The skies began to darken and it was time to leave the Spiritual Herbal Gardens. The three of them slowly walked to the entrance. Miao Jing Yun and the rest were already waiting there. Upon seeing the three of them, he excitedly began to ask about the matter of the next successor.
Miao Huan Yu sighed and told them all about it. Everyone was disappointed.
But Jun Mo Xie stepped out and mentioned the Holy Tree’s request. Everyone fell into deep thoughts.
“… Even for us humans with short lifespans, we are unable to easily accept the parting of life and death, what more, a tree that has a conscious and long life? I believe this is undoubtedly an extreme torture to him, and besides, it is a painful experience that repeats itself again and again… You all are only concerned about the benefits of the Misty Illusory Manor, but have never considered for the Holy Tree’s feelings… This is an unwise move.”
Jun Mo Xie was very direct and unreasonable in his words. But this speech left everyone present silent.
Jun Mo Xie naturally would not convey the words as they were originally. He had slightly altered it too: The Holy Tree wishes that the current Lord of the Spiritual Herbal Gardens, Miao Huan Yu, can continue to remain, and if possible, for a long time…
In this way, the stability of the strength and position of the Miao Family was an irrefutable matter… Which was equivalent to Jun Mo Xie doing a huge favor for the Miao Family again…
“Selecting a person to take over is a troublesome matter; we had indeed thought of letting someone continue doing this job… but it’s a pity, Huan Yu’s physique is truly too weak. He is only past the level of a Spirit Xuan; even if he wished to do it for a long time, how long could he keep at it?” Miao Jing Yun furrowed his brows and said. “If it were not because of this, why would we let the Holy Tree select a compatible and suitable person within such a short span of time…”
“Lord Holy Tree naturally had made considerations for this aspect. He let me bring something out to pa.s.s to Uncle Miao.” Jun Mo Xie gritted his teeth. Take it as for Miao Xiao Miao’s sake, he absolutely mustn’t see the power of the Miao Miao Family decline…”
Jun Mo Xie reached into his robes, as if he was trying to retrieve something. In fact, he had plucked a bunch of the Seven Colored Holy Fruit from the Hongjun PaG.o.da, and at the same time, converted three Heaven Extremes Pill into the purest form of Spiritual Qi and infused it into the flesh of the fruit. Then he also cut a small portion of the Exquisite Lotus and injected it in too, using the Power of Wood to fuse it all…
When he brought his hand out again, there were a bunch of Seven Colored Holy Fruit in his hands… All of them were ripened to the size of a peach, much bigger than those Seven Colored Holy Fruit that the Misty Illusory Manor was collecting. It was obvious that they were not like any other ordinary fruit!
“This is what Lord Holy Tree asked me to deliver. It is a bunch of divine grade Seven Colored Holy Fruit that can only be cultivated every 5000 years! After consuming this fruit, it will allow Uncle Miao to gain a thousand years of strength and longevity with no side effects…”
A thousand years of strength and longevity… It seemed that Jun Mo Xie had already taken down a peg… Just the Seven Colored Holy Fruit was already bigger than the bunch the Misty Illusory Manor had given Young Master Jun. And now, it was infused with the Exquisite Lotus. These two divine treasures were grown in the Hongjun PaG.o.da, so they were superior to the original ones by multiple folds. Just the combined effects of these two items could at the very least, increase one’s strength and longevity by a thousand years…
And these were merely the effects of the Holy Fruit and the Exquisite Lotus. The prolonged lifespan that came with advancement in the Xuan cultivation had yet to be included in the calculations…
Besides, there was still those three Heaven Extremes Pill. That was 180 years worth of purest Xuan Qi. It was sufficient to make Miao Huan Yu go straight to the peak levels of a Spirit Xuan. The combined effects of the two spiritual fruits was enough to make him rush straight through into the realm of a fourth level Venerable! And even with a chance of breaking through the Saint realm!
If everything went smoothly, the original longevity of Miao Huan Yu would be lengthened by almost a thousand years because of his Xuan cultivation. Coupled with the additional thousand years from the Holy Fruit… That was almost two thousand years worth of lifespan!
Everyone’s jaws dropped!
Such a heaven defying thing existed in this world!
The breathing of all the old men present became heavier instantly.
“I repeat again. This is what Lord Holy Tree specially designated for Uncle Miao!” Jun Mo Xie frowned. This bunch of old fogies are looking a little off ah, they wouldn’t…
“Nonsense. Who doesn’t know that it’s for Huan Yu! We are all feeling agitated only! Are we really able to s.n.a.t.c.h it? Putting it in a bad way, even if we wish to s.n.a.t.c.h it, are you capable of holding us back? Is there a need for you to emphasize that Lord Holy Tree had specifically given it to your father-in-law?” A Venerable yelled, glaring as his nostrils flared angrily.
All the other old men also laughed embarra.s.sed. They may make it sound pleasant, but they were all tempted. Afterall, it was a divine treasure that was capable of increasing one’s strength and longevity by a thousand years. But upon hearing that this was what Holy Tree had specifically designated for the Lord of the Spiritual Herbal Gardens, none of them dared to s.n.a.t.c.h for it even if they had the guts…
This was a divine grade Seven Colored Holy Fruit that was produced every 5000 years ah… Who dared to s.n.a.t.c.h it? If this incurred the rage of the Lord Holy Tree… And he went on strike because of this, what do they do? Then wasn’t the Spiritual Herbal Gardens done for?
Besides, the Holy Tree had handed this sort of heavenly treasure to Mo Jun Ye. Mo Jun Ye completely had the opportunity to h.o.a.rd it for himself… But he didn’t! What sort of broad-mindedness was this!
If they had developed other thoughts…
Wouldn’t that make them worse than a beast? Not even comparable to a mere junior?
Miao Jing Yun’s face was completely red, even his white beard was trembling… Amongst all those who are present here, he was the most delighted. His joy even surpa.s.sed that of Miao Huan Yu himself. After all, Miao Huan Yu is his son, and the son and father’s hearts were linked. Miao Jing Yun’s greatest concern had always been his son’s health; today, this problem was solved just like this! Two thousand years, ah… That is sufficient…
Miao Xiao Miao was even more elated, laughing and skipping about excitedly. Tugging on her father’s hands to spin around, like an innocent young girl. She did not know how else to express and vent the joy in her heart…
“Oh right, Lord Holy Tree also mentioned: the advancement from the effects of this divine grade Holy Fruit have no side effects on the body, but as the effects are too defiant of the natural order, they will definitely attract a Heavenly Tribulation. It would be best if you can find a place to temporarily hide from the Heavenly Tribulation first. Wait until the medicinal effects have been completely digested before coming out to go through the tribulations. That way, it can ensure that there will be no losses…” Jun Mo Xie reminded with a smile. The previous matter with Miao Xiao Miao mustn’t have a repeat of itself.
“Right! Right! As expected, Lord Holy Tree is most considerate in his thoughts. I will have a way for this matter, all is taken care of! Hahaha!… Today is a joyous occasion…” Miao Jing Yun laughed happily, stroking his beard confidently and gleefully.
This sort of repulsive expression of arrogance and confidence made all the other experts who came in feeling extremely sour internally. What joyous occasion… It is a joyous occasion for your Miao Family… We didn’t even get any gains, and not only did we not get it this time, it’s likely that there is no hope for us for the next thousands of years… We can only drool… Is this a great joy? More like a great tragedy…
Miao Jing Yun personally kept the seven Holy Fruits away. Miao Dao and Miao Jian followed after him all the way, hurrying back to the Misty Illusory Manor through the pa.s.sage that connected the Spiritual Herbal Gardens and the Misty Illusory Manor…
Delays may bring more unexpected changes or troubles. The best option now was to immediately let Miao Huan Yu go to where Old Ancestor Miao Qing Cheng was the moment they got back. Then let him completely digest the medicinal effects of the Seven Colored Holy Fruit… With the Old Ancestor around, allowing Miao Huan Yu to advance until he can safely face the Heavenly Tribulation… Wasn’t that a simple feat?
In the midst of the joyous mood, Jun Mo Xie also mentioned his intentions to return to his hometown. The reason was simple but clear: he still had kin outside. If he intended to stay in the Misty Illusory Manor for a long time, he would ultimately have to bring them in…
Miao Huan Yu agreed quickly this time, giving a simple order of making it a quick trip, before disappearing… After all, the top priority right now was to let Miao Huan Yu successfully advance…
