Chapter 666

"Could it be that today I'm going to ascend to immortality in a single step!"

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned.

"This is an immortal fruit."

From what was said in the chat group, this was only an ordinary spirit fruit, nothing like the peaches of immortality from the banquet.

Instantly, Zhao Kuangyin was filled with regret.

"Why did this opportunity come so late? If it had come earlier, wouldn't I have been able to attend such a divine banquet as well!"

Great Ming.

Protecting Dragon Shanzhuang.

"This is actually not some unorthodox art from the jianghu?" Zhu Wushi claimed the red packet, and a dish of food instantly appeared in his hand—knife work exquisite, exuding an enticing aroma.

What shocked him even more was that this dish was actually glowing.

"This... could it be an immortal delicacy?"

Zhu Wushi carefully took a bite. Instantly, his originally stern expression vanished. He didn't even bother with chopsticks, simply using true qi to draw the food over and devoured it ravenously.

"This taste is absolutely divine."

Beyond the taste, there was also a feeling within it that he could neither name nor describe.

This dish seemed to cleanse the soul, making him feel light and refreshed all over.

Ever since becoming the master of Protecting Dragon Shanzhuang, he had to scheme against this one and plot against that one—it had been years since he had tasted the feeling of ease.

Being a member of the righteous faction is exhausting!

Being a villain is naturally not easy either.

After all, whether righteous or villain, once you let your guard down, it's very easy to be played to death.

Living in the arena of power, Zhu Wushi's life naturally had no ease or comfort to speak of—he had to guard daily against the Emperor's covert moves.

"This is a heaven-sent opportunity. According to the information in my mind, this is a place that connects all the myriad worlds. In the myriad worlds, there must surely be a way to save Suxin."

Thinking of this, Zhu Wushi felt a bit annoyed0........

His own nickname actually contained the character for "dog."

This was simply intolerable.

But upon remembering that everyone in the chat group was some kind of immortal being, he couldn't throw a fit. He could only think for a while, then follow the announcement and open the chat group Shangcheng.

The moment he opened the Shangcheng, Zhu Wushi felt as if his eyes were about to be blinded.

"Elixir of Immortality!"

"World-Shaking Divine Power!"

"Divine weapons that can shatter stars!"

All the things before his eyes made Zhu Wushi feel like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden—dazzled, unable to take it all in.

"This... with these things, not only can Suxin be saved, but even the throne—I could sit on it for a while."

Thinking of himself becoming an immortal and a god, Zhu Wushi's ambition swelled boundlessly, and he couldn't help but laugh heartily in exhilaration.

……

Zhuxian Town.

Yue Fei sat upright in his military tent, his gaze not on the campaign map, but wandering, his mind drifting far away.

"Not a hallucination?"

The next moment, a plate of fruit appeared in his hand—three of them, red as blood, crystalline and translucent, exuding an exotic fragrance.

He picked one up and swallowed it.

Instantly, a fiery power spread forth. He felt his body suddenly brimming with unmatched strength, as if a single punch could blast apart a mountain.

After a while, this power finally subsided.

Yue Fei set down the fruit plate, walked to one side, and picked up his Coiling Dragon Spear.

This spear was extremely heavy, weighing several dozen jin, forged from hundred-times-refined divine iron. It had accompanied him in campaigns across the realm, earning illustrious meritorious deeds.

On the battlefield, whether enemy iron armor or iron pagodas, when they met his divine spear, he could thrust through them with a single pierce—truly extraordinary3.0.

Yue Fei, as a strategist, did not particularly revere martial force, yet he was very fond of his own weapon.

Now picking up the long spear, the weapon that had always felt just right in his grip now felt light as nothing, like a straw.

With a casual swing, the divine weapon in his hand instantly bent.

"This... I hadn't even used any force!" Yue Fei was dumbfounded. He hadn't exerted even one percent of his strength, yet his divine weapon had broken.

What divine thing was that fruit, to have given him so much strength?

His gaze fell on the remaining two fruits, and Yue Fei's heart could not calm for a long time.

He steadied himself, thinking about how to handle the spirit fruits.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded.

"His Majesty has decreed that General Yue withdraw his troops immediately!"

Yue Fei's face changed, his mind greatly shaken: "Withdraw? I've only just defeated the Jin army and am about to recover the lost territory. To withdraw now—wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?"
