Chapter 1527: 1527
Wan Shouyi drew back his sword and lowered his head . There was an unmistakable look of shock in his deep eyes as he looked at the elegant and handsome young man .

He thought of the brief time that Ye Futian had been cultivating at Taixuan Mountain . He had entered String Palace to cultivate the guqin arts and had gone to Sword Abyss to study the sword . He had been quiet and unassuming, modest and restrained . He had not fought with anyone .
Who would have thought that this man, who had been cultivating so quietly at Taixuan Mountain, the one whom everyone thought was just a lucky young man, was actually someone who had learned the Famous Songs of String Palace and had completed the second strike of the Fleeting Divine Sword—the Cleave of All Things . He had defeated the genius cultivators of the Divine Capital of Xiling using only his own power .
He was such a powerful person, and yet the people of Taixuan Mountain had not sensed the smallest bit of pride in him . He was so restrained .
Indeed, he had only been cultivating at Taixuan Mountain for a few short months .
Luoyue felt the same way, and her heart was in turmoil . When she thought of how they had constantly exhorted Shen Jing to study hard, her face turned red .
It seemed that the one who had helped her discharge so much swordsmanship back then was Shen Jing .
So, when she and Brother Wan Shouyi had been fighting, Shen Jing had played the guqin . The guqin music had helped stimulate her swordsmanship, and it was not just luck that this had happened . Shen Jing had purposely played the guqin to help her . She felt a little bit gloomy . She should have realized that as soon as Ye Futian played his masterpiece .
“Was it you who helped me break through to the next level back then?” she whispered to Ye Futian .
Ye Futian looked at her and smiled . “No need to worry about it, Princess Luoyue . You were only a step away from the next level . Even without my music, you would still have been able to do that soon . ”
“Why did you choose to assist me with my swordsmanship?” Luoyue asked . Her tone and attitude were completely different than they had been before . She was feeling conflicted
“Because me coming into contact with you back in Taixuan City turned out to be very lucky,” said Ye Futian with a smile . Luoyue was stunned . Then she seemed to realize something . She looked at Ye Futian as if she was in a trance . It seemed that he was the mysterious swordsman as well .
She smiled sweetly and said, “Thank you . ”

Ye Futian smiled again but said no more on the subject . He looked in another direction and said, “We should take care of this matter . ”
At that moment, the demon dragon was still on guard . His massive body was hovering there, and he stared at Ye Futian . He seemed very vigilant . These people had actually killed the old man .
The old man had been powerful enough to threaten him . It seemed like if it came to a fight, he would not be able to withstand these human cultivators .
“There is no way you will get this fruit . You are strong enough to go and seize fruit from somewhere else, why waste your time here?” The dragon’s voice rolled like thunder . If they attacked him in force and he could not withstand them, he would just eat the fruit right away .
“If you eat the fruit, then we will have no choice but to feast on dragon flesh and drink dragon blood,” said Ye Futian with a smile . When he heard what Ye Futian had said, the dragon’s expression grew dark . Terrible lightning flashed in his eyes as he stared fixedly at Ye Futian .
This human was completely shameless .
A low roar erupted from his mouth . Divine lightning flashed, and a fierce light shone in his eyes .
Ye Futian stepped forward, still holding his guqin . Wan Shouyi, Luoyue, and the others followed him, subconsciously accepting him as their leader .
They now understood Lord Taixuan’s wishes . Ye Futian was their greatest safeguard here .
It was unfortunate, then, that when Ye Futian had helped them defeat Li Xun and seize the fruit, Jun Mu had gotten greedy . Given the strength and talent that he had shown, then even without them, Ye Futian could have defeated Li Xun by himself and taken the fruit . Why would he have given any of the fruit to Jun Mu? He had tried to steal it .
Giving them two pieces of fruit was already exceedingly kind .
Jun Mu doing this had made it so that they had needed to part ways . Otherwise, the other people from Taixuan Mountain would have been able to see what had just happened .

Ye Futian’s eyes became incredibly frightening . They seemed endlessly deep, like two black holes as he stared at the dragon . The dragon suddenly became irritable, and a series of low roars came from him . He could feel his spiritual will being infected .
Terrible lightning shot out of his eyes towards Ye Futian’s, but he could sense a spiritual storm swallowing him .
“Roar!” The dragon gave an earth-shaking roar that thundered through the air . Thousands of bolts of divine lightning fell from the sky . Ye Futian stared at him as he was bathed in endless thunder, saying, “I will only ask you this one more time: will you withdraw?”
The dragon roared as he heard the unmistakable threat in Ye Futian’s voice . He became incredibly violent, but he could feel that there was actual danger here . It seemed like the human before him actually held his life in his hands . If he tried to fight or ate the fruit, things would go very badly for him afterward .
In the end, he could not withstand the pressure that Ye Futian was putting on him . He gave another earth-shaking roar that made the air itself tremble . He rose up and flew towards the mountains, leaving the fruit behind .
Ye Futian walked up to the tree . Beside him, Wan Shouyi said, “This fruit bears the will of the Great Path of thunder, and it is still growing . The will within it gets stronger by the moment . ”
Ye Futian nodded . “Mmm . ” His figure slashed as he rushed towards the tree and picked the fruit . Although it was not completely grown yet, he did not have time to wait . Before, the demon dragon and the old man’s struggle had happened because they were both placing all of their hopes upon this one piece of fruit . But Ye Futian was different . This piece of fruit was not his only target . It would be far from enough to sate his ambition .
Crunch! A clear sound rang out . Little phoenix and the others watched in shock as Ye Futian bit into the giant piece of fruit . He was eating it right there on the spot!
This…
Wan Shouyi and Luoyue looked at Ye Futian . This was not happening like they had imagined . Little bolts of lightning were flashing from Ye Futian’s mouth . This piece of fruit was even bigger than the ones before, but it seemed that Ye Futian would finish it in no time .
Lightning flashed all over Ye Futian’s body for a time, and within him, a world of lightning formed . The terrible lightning seemed like it would never dissipate . It ran through him, turning his life spirit, the World Tree, into a tree of lightning . All of his internal organs and bones were filled with the power of lightning .
Boom! Ye Futian took a step forward, and a thunderous boom erupted off of him . “Let’s keep moving forward,” he said .

He felt that his level became more secure . If he could get a few dozen or a few hundred pieces of fruit and eat them slowly, he would eventually be able to break through to the next level .
If the cultivators of the Divine Palace knew he wanted to do this, they would probably try to kill him . Each piece of fruit here was very precious . Even if they managed to get a piece of it, most people would save it until they had cultivated up to the peak of their level . He was thinking of breaking through to the next level solely by eating the fruit .
Moreover, the fruit contained will within it . It would naturally remain undigested for a while .
The five of them continued forward . Now that they had witnessed Ye Futian’s strength, they knew that he was the one who had used the sword of Taixuan Mountain . Thus, they had a lot of confidence in him . He would probably bring a lot of benefits to them in the future .
Luoyue looked off into the distance . “What is that over there? It has such a strong life aura . ” Ahead of them was a place filled with a mystical fog . It was as if a life aura had spread out between heaven and earth .
Ye Futian looked over there and could faintly see a towering tree there . The mystical fog was all around the tree, and it seemed like it was actually a life aura .
“Let’s go take a look . ” The group sped up . As they got closer, they could see an incomparably giant tree . All of the fruit had already been picked, and what was more frightening was that there was a stream under all the fog .
It was the Stream of the Birth of the Way .
Ye Futian’s heart trembled . This was a legendary place . The water of this stream was the legendary water of life . Every drop had the power to save lives, and could even bring life back to dead bones .
At that moment, some people were bathing in the stream, but it was not truly for the purpose of washing, but rather to absorb the life will . Life will was not just useful for saving your life . People who cultivated the Way of Life were incredibly vigorous . People with a strong life aura were physically very strong and were very difficult to kill .
The people who were bathing in the stream saw Ye Futian and the others as well . They looked up sharply at the newcomers . Their eyes were cold, but also very beautiful . All of them were women .
One of the people bathing in the stream was as beautiful as a life goddess with her exquisite features . These were all disciples of the Divine Palace and were all incredible beauties .
“This is a good place . ” Ye Futian could not help but marvel . As he said this, their gazes grew even colder . The discharged their auras, and they all fell upon Ye Futian .
“Have you seen enough?” came a cold voice .
“If you don’t mind, could you make some room for me?” Ye Futian walked forward . It seemed like he wanted to enter the stream .
“Get out of here!” roared the cold voice . Several of the women’s expressions changed . They stared at Ye Futian .
Ye Futian glanced around, then said, “Don’t worry . The stream is so big . I am sure there is room for a few more people . ”
He continued forward as he said this, and stepped directly into the water . How could he pass by such a wonderful place without experiencing it? It could both nourish his world tree life spirit and strengthen his body .
Indeed, the instant he stepped into the water, he could feel his soul become incredibly light . It seemed as if his very organs were relaxing . It was such a wonderful feeling . The power of life was, after all, the power of all things in the world .
Little phoenix and the others all watched Ye Futian with mouths wide open . He was just going to go in the water?
Although the others were not truly bathing, they still presented a lovely scene . And he was actually…
Wan Shouyi blinked . He felt the image he had conjured up in his mind collapse a little bit . Would he really be so shameless?
Luoyue reddened as she beheld this scene . This was going very differently from how she had imagined!
