Chapter 149: Soul Infant Fruit, Zi Yan is about to soar into the sky!

When they realized the situation was not right, it was already too late to retreat.

Gu Fei naturally would not care about the life or death of these people; he had long since discovered the presence of these Magical Beasts, but simply had not paid them any mind.

Once the space storm ended, a colossal object slowly appeared before everyone.

Appearing before the group was a magnificent palace; the size of the palace left Xiao Yixian, Cai'er, and the others stunned.

The New Holy City of the Snake-People Tribe seemed somewhat tiny in front of this palace, and compared to the surrounding mountain peaks, the palace did not pale in comparison at all.

The only thing that could rival this palace was the great hall of the Ancient Clan.

This palace was entirely crimson in color; viewed from afar, it looked like flames burning upon corpses, and the lingering aura of the Seal permeated the surroundings, setting off the majesty of the palace.

"Is this the Ancient Relic?"

Xiao Yixian felt incomparably shocked.

"As expected of a palace left behind by a Saint, the palace itself is enough to be astonishing," Cai'er could not help but sigh, a glimmer of hope for the Saint growing in her heart.

"Alright, the Ancient Relic has been opened; the real good stuff is inside the palace."

"Let's go in!"

After Gu Fei finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to Zhuli; Zhuli understood and was the first to enter the palace.

Zhuli was at the Half-Saint cultivation level and was proficient in Space Power, so it was best for him to be the first to enter the palace to scout for danger.

The Magical Beasts that had previously been hiding in the surroundings coveting the Ancient Relic had almost all been wiped out in the storm.

For a short time, there was no need to worry about others coming here to snatch the treasures.

Zhuli entered the palace first, and under the guidance of Gu Fei, a transmigrator, he did not encounter any danger; the profound mechanisms beneath the fire path did not affect their progress in the slightest.

"Let's go get the first good thing!"

Arriving beneath the fire path, Gu Fei walked in front of Zhuli, weaving through the Ancient Relic.

Seeing this, Zhuli was somewhat surprised; looking at Gu Fei's manner, it was as if he had been here before.

But he did not say anything, instead guarding Zi Yan and quickly following behind.

Cai'er and Qing Lin guarded Xiao Yixian and Xiao Xianle to prevent the two from encountering any accidents.

"That is... a Puppet?"

Soon, the group arrived before a large gate, and in front of the gate was a group of silver Puppets.

"They are actually peak Dou Zong Puppets; are they guarding the door?"

Qing Lin could not help but exclaim.

"Is this door the real entrance to the Ancient Relic?" Zi Yan discovered a clue.

"These Puppets are Di Yao Kui; although they are only at the peak of Dou Zong, they can erupt with the strength of a Dou Zun by relying on a special formation!"

Just as Gu Fei finished speaking, the surfaces of the ten Di Yao Kui flashed with silver light; seemingly sensing the arrival of danger, they immediately began to huddle together, wanting to combine into a formation.

"Shatter for me!"

Gu Fei slapped out directly, and three or four Di Yao Kui were immediately slapped into depressions and shattered, losing their ability to act.

The remaining Di Yao Kui were also dealt with by him in a few quick moves.

With the Di Yao Kui all dealt with, the tightly shut stone gate suddenly emitted a creaking mechanical sound, and then the massive stone gate slowly opened, revealing a gap wide enough to pass through.

"Keep moving!"

Gu Fei once again entered the gap in the door first; inside the gap was another solemn hall.

However, this was not Gu Fei's destination; Gu Fei scanned his surroundings, confirmed the direction, and then dashed out again.

"Big Brother Gu Fei, where are we going?" Qing Lin asked Gu Fei in confusion.

"To find treasure, of course."

Gu Fei smiled mysteriously and urged everyone to speed up.

Soon, they arrived before another massive stone gate. However, there were no guards in front of this stone gate; Gu Fei scanned the area once, then stepped forward and pushed the stone gate open.

The stone gate was slowly pushed open, and to everyone's surprise, behind the stone gate was a vast forest.

"I smell a medicinal fragrance! It's very fragrant; it's definitely a top-tier heavenly treasure!"

Zi Yan suddenly exclaimed; her sense of smell for heavenly treasures was extremely keen.

"Your nose is quite sharp; that is our goal."

Gu Fei smiled slightly and once again led the group to gallop through the forest.

They had originally thought they would encounter some danger in the Ancient Relic, but following Gu Fei all the way here, it had been a smooth path.

Before long, a lake appeared before everyone's eyes; the lake was not large, only about ten zhang wide, and the water was incomparably clear, yet one could not see the bottom at a glance.

In the middle of the lake was a floating piece of land, like an island in the center of the lake, and on the island was a small tree with a peculiar shape.

The small tree was entirely silver-gray, and its branches were intertwined with one another like vines, connecting to form a very strange curve; if viewed from a distance, one would feel that this small tree looked very much like a pregnant woman, and the protruding part of the small tree was the pregnant woman's belly.

At this moment, a golden light was faintly emitting from that position.

"That is our goal, the Soul Infant Fruit!" Gu Fei said, pointing to the place where the golden light was flashing.

"It looks quite delicious; I'll go pick it!"

As soon as Zi Yan finished speaking, she went to retrieve the Soul Infant Fruit, but just as she rushed over the lake, the calm surface of the water suddenly stirred up raging waves.

A massive figure splashed out of the water, opened its bloody maw, and bit toward Zi Yan.

"You vile beast!"

Zhuli shouted, and a terrifying aura pressed down; the figure attacking Zi Yan suddenly trembled, stopped its offensive, and fell back into the water, looking at Zhuli like a child who had made a mistake.

The Magical Beast that had suddenly appeared in the lake was a Heaven-Reaching Flood Dragon, powerful because it possessed the Ancient Dragon bloodline, but in front of the true Ancient Dragon Clan, it could only tremble.

"Hmph!"

Zi Yan let out a cold snort, walked to the Soul Infant Ancient Tree, and took the Soul Infant Fruit.

Just at this moment, Zi Yan suddenly felt a bit mentally dazed; fearing that Zi Yan was in danger, Zhuli quickly stepped forward.

"What is wrong with the young miss?" Zhuli asked anxiously.

"I feel like something is summoning me."

After Zi Yan finished speaking, she looked toward the deeper parts of the Ancient Forest.

"That is the great fortuitous encounter I am going to gift you; prepare to go!"

Gu Fei walked forward at this moment.

"Is the Soul Infant Fruit not the greatest fortuitous encounter yet?"

Cai'er was somewhat shocked; the Soul Infant Fruit was already a legendary item, so what could a greater fortuitous encounter be...

Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin exchanged a glance, equally unable to imagine it.

Seeing that Zi Yan was unharmed, Zhuli no longer worried and continued to travel through the Ancient Forest, following the intuition of Gu Fei and Zi Yan.

The group arrived before a plain; the plain looked unremarkable, yet Zi Yan landed on the ground, walked a few steps, and extended her hand, causing a golden light to appear before everyone without warning, which then formed a protective barrier.

"A Golden Light Barrier... Zi Yan, drip a drop of your Essence Blood onto it."

Zhuli seemed to have thought of something, and the expression on his old face involuntarily turned to shock.

Hearing this, Zi Yan bit her finger, and a drop of golden blood dripped onto the Golden Light Barrier.

A crack appeared on the Golden Light Barrier, and the crack slowly widened.

"Let us go in!"

Zi Yan entered the Golden Light Barrier first, and Gu Fei and the others followed closely behind.

Inside the Golden Light Barrier was a desolate plain, and upon this plain stood a massive stone altar; a terrifying pressure emanated from the altar, making those with weaker strength, such as Xiao Yixian, feel their Dou Qi stagnate slightly.
