C2345 Five-color Altar
"Brother Lin, I'll go and get this fruit for you." Hearing these words, although Cheng Wu did not know what the so-called Grand Moon Heavy Water meant to the Yin and Water Beast, but looking at its ecstatic expression, he knew that this fruit was not ordinary, and without any hesitation, he cupped his hands towards Lin Bai and rushed to the old liar's position.
Not only did Lin Bai not feel that Cheng Wu was rude to him, but he thought even more highly of him. If an ordinary person were to obtain this spirit fruit, they would immediately think about what kind of mystical power they would have if they swallowed it. However, the first thing that Cheng Wu thought of was the old liar's illness.
He was not wrong about the person. With such a person around, working with the door of things would be a smooth sailing win for both of them!
"How does it feel after I swallow it?" After a moment of contemplation, Lin Bai hesitantly glanced at the Spirit Fruit. He kept the Spirit Fruit carefully, leaving only one in his palm as he asked the Yin and Water Beast beside him.
"I feel as if this fruit has the aura of a great Dao. It can help me increase my comprehension of the great Dao. One pellet in my stomach can strengthen my hundred years of cultivation. It makes me feel as if I've been reborn!" After which, it smacked its lips as if it wanted to continue eating. Staring at the Spirit Fruit in Lin Bai's palm like a tiger, it said: "However, I was a little too hasty just now so I couldn't taste this Spirit Fruit. How about you give me another one?"
If Zhu Bajie could taste the ginseng fruit after eating it, it would be truly strange! He made a decision in his heart. He must keep the remaining fruits carefully, and he definitely could not let that little black cat, the thief cat, find out. Otherwise, those remaining fruits would probably be stolen by that thief cat and used as a toothpick.
Even though he was silently cursing, the words of the Yin Master Water Beast had still attracted some of Lin Bai's attention. According to the Miasma Water Beast, the Spirit Fruit seemed to contain the aura of a great Dao, which could increase one's comprehension of the great Dao.
When he thought here, Lin Bai did not hesitate and directly used the power of Reflection to see the source. He entered the spirit fruit, wanting to use the power to see the inside of the spirit fruit to obtain its true meaning!
After being sealed by the scarlet red metal piece, the spirit fruit seemed to have undergone some sort of change; it no longer had the ability to resist the power of the Source Energy entering the fruit. After being sealed by the scarlet red metal piece, the spirit fruit seemed to have undergone some sort of change; it no longer had the ability to resist the power of the Source Energy entering the fruit.
What a mystical fruit! Just by probing, the scene he felt caused Lin Bai to be unable to refrain from exclaiming in admiration. Under the probing of the Origin Energy, Lin Bai could see that inside the fruit, it was like a world of its own. There was an endless aura of a great Dao within it, roaming about without restraint. It was indescribably mysterious!
And what was even more miraculous was that Lin Bai also discovered that the aura of the great dao within the fruit seemed to be undergoing some sort of incredible transformation.
Lin Bai had no doubt that if he swallowed this fruit into his stomach, his body would undergo an incomparably mysterious transformation. This sort of mystical strength would bring him an unprecedented transformation!
However, it was this discovery that made Lin Bai start to hesitate. Currently, he was on the path of defying the Dao. After all the fighting, his Dao heart had been set in stone. No one could tell if the change he would experience after absorbing the fruit would be good or bad. If this power changed the path of evil, then the gains would not make up for the losses.
He couldn't act rashly before he knew the true effects of the fruit. When he thought of this, Lin Bai immediately made a decision in his heart. He carefully put away the spirit fruit and stopped inspecting it, because he was afraid that if he continued to observe, he would not be able to restrain his desire to devour the spirit fruit and would make a move that would regret his actions.
Perhaps, this was the loss that a perverse path would bring him at the same time as it brought him what he deserved! After putting the fruit away properly, Lin Bai could not help but sigh in his heart. If it was before he stepped onto the wrong path, he would definitely swallow the fruit into his body without any hesitation. However, right now, he had to ponder for a long time before he dared to act rashly.
Because, the current him, in essence, whether it was his physique or his dao, was greatly different from ordinary people. A fruit like that, to normal people, might be a rare great tonic, but to him, it might be the medicine of tigers and wolves.
"Look at your stingy demeanor. I'm just saying it, do you need to guard against me like a thief …" After he glanced at the fruit that Lin Bai had put away, his gaze turned towards the Nine Suns Heaven Transforming Wood. He wanted to see if there were any remaining, but when his gaze touched the ground, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Little brat Lin, this little tree is not so disloyal, just look at what it left behind!"
Lin Bai was stunned when he heard this. He turned his head to look at where the Nine Suns Heaven Changing Wood had left. The moment his gaze touched the ground, he was immediately unable to shift his gaze away. His heart was filled with ecstasy.
He saw a grey branch on the ground. There seemed to be countless lights flickering within the branch. It was clear that it was the branch from the Nine Suns Heaven Chasing Tree. However, it was precisely because of its grayish luster that Lin Bai had not noticed it previously. If it wasn't for the Yin, Water and Yin Beast's meticulousness, it would have lost its treasure.
Without any hesitation, Lin Bai directly picked up the branch from the ground. The moment the branch entered his hand, an indescribable aura immediately spread out. Countless magical dao halos spread out in a flash.
Not only that, Lin Bai could also feel an extremely strong sense of vitality from this broken branch. The vigor of this life force made him feel that as long as he carefully nurtured it, he might have a chance to cultivate a new Nine Suns Heaven Changing Tree that would continue to grow and grow.
Good fortune. This time, he had truly obtained a heaven-defying good fortune! Carefully putting away the tree branch, Lin Bai's heart was filled with joy. Although he did not completely destroy Yao Guangxiao this time around, he did cause quite a bit of damage to him. Even if he entered the Immortal World, it would be rare for him to have a good ending and he would not be able to eat anything good.
Moreover, to possess six spirit fruits and a branch of the Nine Suns Heaven Changing Tree was an unexpected blessing. However, the only thing that made people sigh was the information regarding the whereabouts of the two little girls, Li Qingnan and Sophia.
Thinking up to this point, a flash appeared in front of Lin Bai's eyes. In the last moment before the five-colored altar's brilliance was destroyed, he saw the strange look in Sophia's and Li Qingnan's eyes.
Just what had happened that caused them to become like this? Just how much suffering had they suffered in the other side of the world? Thinking of this, Lin Bai's heart was filled with bitterness.
After slightly sighing for a moment, Lin Bai slowly walked towards the five-colored altar. Since he already knew the whereabouts of Li Qing Nan and Sophia, no matter what transformation had occurred between these two little guys, he, Lin Bai, could not just sit idly by! Even if it was Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild, even if it was the unknown Blood Prison, he would definitely rescue these two little fellows and bring them back.
The only way to do this was to figure out what was wrong with the five-colored altar and figure out how it worked. This was the only way to get the chance to enter the Celestial Realm and complete everything he wanted to do.
After the altar lost all its splendor, it became very simple and unadorned. It was filled with the marks left behind by the passage of time. Even a normal person would be able to tell that this altar had existed for a very long time. In addition, the stone that made up the altar was engraved with countless complex and indistinguishable mysterious patterns, similar to some ancient book of the heavens.
Looking at those patterns, for some reason, it always made people feel as if there was an unimaginable power of space within these patterns, connecting them to an unknown portal. However, this power was not strong enough. It seemed to be some sort of connection. Without sufficient external support, it was impossible to teleport people to other spaces.
How did Yao Guangxiao pass through this altar and open the gate to the Immortal World?! After circling the five-colored altar, Lin Bai's eyebrows couldn't help but knit together into a knot. With his exploration, besides the altar itself, he didn't see anything out of the ordinary at all. This didn't stop him from wondering if he had forgotten something.
However, the weak connection between the altars could not be faked. He could conclude that without external help, this altar would not be able to support the possibility of opening a door for Yao Guangxiao, allowing him to enter into another world!
But what exactly was Yao Guangxiao using? Could it be that something similar to a primer could only be used to completely stimulate the energy contained within this five-colored altar?
Although the five-colored altar was mysterious, he could sense that there was no overly powerful strength within it. Moreover, there was also a kind of delicate balance within it. If the energy within was too powerful, it would break this balance and cause the altar to directly collapse!
What was it? After pondering for a long time, Lin Bai slowly squatted down. His gaze was like a sand net, meticulously inspecting the five-colored altar, while his finger continuously made contact with the surrounding ground, searching for anything unusual.
