Chapter 658 - 657, The Sea of Flowers, The Life Rhyme Fruit

This was truly an unexpected surprise.

However, within the unexpected, there is the inevitable.

The critical thing was that Li Jing didn’t anticipate this at all.

Ling Ling, who used to struggle to make a tiny crack in the past, could now make a big hole.

This was during broad daylight.

A huge hole had cracked open in the sky above Longyu Country’s capital.

As long as you’re not blind, anyone within a hundred kilometers could witness it.

This aftermath is inevitably going to be quite troublesome.

Blue Star is not like the Immortal Realm.

If something happens within a certain power’s territory, there’s no need to explain to people within the power’s territory, as long as you are strong enough, nor is there any need to give anyone a explanation.

In Blue Star, however, a big incident like this, Longyu’s officials would have to give the public a reasonable explanation to appease their minds.

Otherwise, in less than two hours, a variety of conspiracy theories would sprout up online, and unscrupulous media would sensationalize the matter, making it bigger and bigger.

Who knows, there might be other nations, who enjoy stirring up trouble, stoking the fires and shaking your country’s societal stability.

Li Jing trusted that even in the face of the current turbulent situation on Blue Star, Chen Jing, who has always been resolute and domineering, could handle it well.

However, slipping away was still a must.

Otherwise, Chen Jing, who had just recently parted ways, might not lash out violently, but scolding would be unavoidable.

WITH Jiang Yini entering the hole that Ling Ling had made, Li Jing was swiftly confronted with a Spatial Displacement.

To prevent any ill-minded or reckless Blue Star People from following into the Spatial Passage, he slapped it closed using the rules of space.

...

The Divine Domain and the Immortal Realm are where respective cultivators will ascend to once they reach the their limit.

The difference is, there isn’t just one Divine Domain.

Based on different beliefs, the final ascension will be towards the Divine Domain where their own faith points, which is home to their God Clan civilization.

In the same way, the Divine Domain, like the Ancient Fairyland in the past, is a separate spatial system that exists independently of the Big World.

Because it transverses space levels,

The process of Spatial Displacement is relatively long.

About three to five minutes.

Li Jing and Jiang Yini’s view cleared up suddenly.

Supreme God Domain.

They’ve arrived.

Looking up,

The first thing that caught their eyes was a beautiful field of seven-colored flowers.

The intoxicating scent of the flowers was refreshing on the palate.

Looking further out, in the center of the flower sea, stood a heaven-touching giant tree.

Li Jing and Jiang Yini, standing in the air, couldn’t see the top of the tree through the thick clouds, but the shadow cast through the cloud layer gave away that the giant tree’s crown covered the entire flower sea.

Looking carefully,

Was the shadow of the giant tree’s crown just a cloud?

No.

That was an overwhelming amount of visible life force!

Seeing this, Jiang Yini was shocked.

"Is that... a Life Tree!?"

"Yes."

Li Jing nodded, expressing astonishment.

"It’s quite shocking, and yes, it is indeed a Life Tree."

As he spoke, he glanced at the giant tree that was countless times larger than the four Life Trees in his Little Universe, a smile came to his lips.

"This Life Tree seems to show no signs of transforming into Immortal Medicine, but its age is definitely old beyond our comprehension. If nothing goes wrong, this should be Ling Ling’s birthplace. She’s taking us to her home."

Before his words had fallen, a small figure rushed out from the direction of the Original Giant Tree, struggling to carry a large leaf that was clearly wrapping something.

This small figure,

Was Ling Ling, who had arrived before the other two.

Gotta say, the little one was pretty quick.

They had just arrived in the Supreme God Domain.

Li Jing and Jiang Yini had only just arrived when she had already gathered something.

Seeing Ling Ling struggling to fly steadily as if what she was carrying was extremely heavy, the two glanced at each other and went to greet her.

Seeing the two coming, Ling Ling simply landed and started to unwrap.

Soon,

Li Jing and Jiang Yini had closed in on her.

They could clearly see what Ling Ling had wrapped in the giant leaf.

They were three huge, completely transparent fruits.

If not for the slightly darker pulp under the transparent skin, you wouldn’t even be able to tell that these were fruits.

Seeing the two coming, Ling Ling giggled.

"Li Jing! Yini! You two should taste these! These are my home’s special produce, very crunchy and sweet. Thus, they are called Crisp Fruit. They only bloom and bear fruit once every million years. I had saved these from a long time ago because I couldn’t bear to eat them and wanted to let them grow more. Now that you guys are here, they are perfect for treating you as guests."

Hearing Ling Ling’s bustling chat, Li Jing and Jiang Yini couldn’t help but smile, while slightly moved.

This fruit.

One look and you know it’s extraordinary.

Cacapopo fruit.

The name must have been bestowed by Ling Ling herself.

Looking around.

This flower sea is strikingly similar to an idyllic land in Western mythology. Aside from the chirping of birds and fragrance of flowers, there is no trace of any person or god coming and going. It seems cut off from the world. Li Jing turned to look, his eyes shining with golden light.

Eye of True Vision activated.

Life Rhyme Fruit.

Naturally miraculous.

Eating one allows the consumer to gain an understanding of the essence of life and experience the Grand Dao of life.

Upon receiving this feedback, Li Jing was momentarily stunned.

Naturally miraculous?

What quality is this?

He does know about miracles.

Around Blue Star, miracles refer to things that have peculiar effects and aren’t spiritual objects, spiritual materials, or other resources.

If one must say.

Miracles in the standard of Blue Star are akin to heavenly treasures born from chaos.

Miracles aren’t eaten or used as ingredients for refining, instead, they are items with intrinsic special functions.

Obviously.

This naturally miraculous item has no connection to the miracle in Blue Star’s standard.

Then looking at its efficacy.

Li Jing was utterly astonished.

Understanding the essence of life, experiencing the Life Dao.

This TM...

Could it be even more heaven-defying?

If this thing were to be tossed into the Immortal Realm...

No.

Even if it’s the Upper Three Realms.

If even one Life Rhyme Fruit becomes known to the world, it would cause chaos in the Upper Three Realms in minutes, with the Three God Emperors, Five Sacred Emperors, and even stronger hidden behemoths entering the fray without hesitation.

What is the essence of life?

Li Jing didn’t understand.

But he knew about the Grand Dao of life.

People often say.

There are three thousand Grand Daos in cultivation.

But that’s not entirely true.

When you reach a certain level, you’ll understand that there’s an uncountable amount of clear and distinct Daos in the universe.

The many Daos in cultivation merely contain a small part of them.

A large part of these Daos is inaccessible.

The Grand Dao of Life.

Is one of them.

And this Dao is the most primitive and fundamental among the innumerable Daos in the universe.

What is related to it.

Is the origin of the form of existence known as "life".

Compared to the Grand Dao of Life.

Space Dao, which is also relatively unique, primitive and fundamental, is just difficult to access, not inaccessible.

If Daos were to be ranked.

There is no doubt that the Life Dao would be amongst the top-tier.

The Immortality Dao inherited from Yaochi is simply not worth mentioning in front of this Dao!

Of course.

That’s not to say that dabbling in Life Dao would necessarily make one much stronger.

Just that this Dao’s level is so high, if there’s an opportunity to gain insight or to observe its mysteries, no one would want to miss it.

With an odd expression, Li Jing picked up a Life Rhyme Fruit about the size of a bowling ball and looked up.

"Ling Ling, are there only three Cacapopo fruits left?"

Having heard someone ask this, Ling Ling immediately exhibited a wary look.

"What’s up?"

Seeing the little guy’s reaction, Li Jing immediately understood there must be more fruits left.

"Eat as many Longevity Fruits as you like in the Little Universe, but tell me how many Cacapopo fruits are left. I’ll take them all."

After hearing these words, Ling Ling seemed taken aback for a moment, then her big eyes sparkled.

"Really!?"

"Truer than gold."

Li Jing smirked.

"Your words! Wait a minute! I’ve hidden two more! I’ll go pick them now!"

Ling Ling murmured, hurriedly turned around and dashed towards the towering Life Tree at the centre of the flower sea.

Seeing the little guy just leave without another word, Jiang Yini looked over curiously.

"Isn’t it not quite right for you to be taking Ling Ling’s snack by cheating such an innocent?"

"This is clearly a fair trade. How does it become scamming her snack when it comes to you?"

Li Jing was at a loss for words, he said.

"Furthermore, the little thing has been with me for more than a hundred years. When have I ever let her down? The Life Rhyme Fruit is just an ordinary snack to her. What a waste."

Speaking of which, Li Jing made a serious statement.

"And look at her. Just go by the taste. The Life Rhyme Fruit isn’t as good as the Longevity Fruit. From a trading point of view, Ling Ling and I are mutually beneficial..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yini folded her arms across her chest.

"I’m just stating a simple fact. If Ling Ling is clamoring for a Longevity Fruit, wouldn’t you give it to her?"

"..."

Li Jing choked on his words.

Of course, he wouldn’t say that he swindled Ling Ling.

If we talk about grades...

Longevity Fruit, which is only useful to ordinary people, is indeed pitifully low.

But does Ling Ling care if something is good or not?

What she cares about...

It’s just a matter of whether it tastes good or not.

If he gave her something else, she might not even look at it.

But he has to admit...

Jiang Yini made sense.

As long as it’s something he has, if Ling Ling wants it, he would give it.

Calling it trade, it’s kind of nonsensical.

Watching Li Jing choke, Jiang Yini laughed out loud, couldn’t help herself.

"Alright, I was just making a random comment to tease you, and you’re seriously trying to come up with an excuse for me?"

Hearing what Jiang Yini said, Li Jing’s face was filled with speechlessness.

Explanations...

They were not necessary from the beginning.

But after all, their relationship is different now.

Whatever he does, he has to take into account Jiang Yini’s opinion.

Look at how joyful she is after choking him...

She just got "recruited", and she’s already getting arrogant because of the favoritism!

What is going to happen in the future?!?

Look at Liu Sisi!

Look at Chen Yuran!

Look at Yulian!

Which one of them is not gentle and pleasant, always following his lead as the "head of the family"?

Having said that, Li Jing isn’t going to impose any traditional virtues on Jiang Yini.

Putting other matters aside...

The main reason for this trip to the Supreme God Domain was to accompany Jiang Yini.

As long as she’s happy...

Not thinking too much, Li Jing said.

"This fruit has a big effect. Eating one will let you comprehend the truth of life and experience the Tao of life."

Upon hearing its effect, the smile on Jiang Yini’s face froze.

The extraordinariness of the Life Rhyme Fruit was obvious to the naked eye.

What Ling Ling had presented from her "home" to the two of them couldn’t possibly be ordinary.

But she never expected...

These three fruits on the ground could be such game changers...

Looking down at the three Life Rhyme Fruits on the ground, Jiang Yini swallowed her saliva, her eyes wide open.

Seeing this, Li Jing laughed, saying,

"Save one for yourself for later. Wait until we return to the Immortal Realm and you need to go into retreat, then eat it. Otherwise, you’ll miss that comprehension and experience. Now we need to go find Wina, so it’s not suitable to eat it now."

Having said that, he smiled and said,

"Including the two left for Ling Ling, there are a total of five Life Rhyme Fruits. We have exactly five people in our family right now, one for each person."

When she heard what he said, Jiang Yini’s face turned slightly red and she gently hummed in agreement.

Prior to this...

All was unsaid between the two of them.

At this moment...

Li Jing had directly put her in as one of the Li family.

For Jiang Yini...

This was happening too fast.

Don’t be fooled by her mature and steady demeanor, she’s actually pretty shy at heart.

During their conversation...

Ling Ling flew back, carrying two Life Rhyme Fruits that were several times larger than her. She put the fruits down.

"Here! All five are here!"

Having said that, she stretched out her little hand and said,

"Li Jing, let’s make a pinky promise! As an agreement!"

Li Jing couldn’t help but laugh, giving the little one his pinky finger.

Upon seeing this, Ling Ling grabbed his little finger and playfully recited.

"Hook, hang, no take-backs for billions of years."

Li Jing had grown accustomed to Ling Ling’s occasional mischievousness.

However, hearing "no take-backs for billions of years," he was still somewhat taken aback.

This little one.

She’s quite sinister...

Who did she learn this from?

Hmm?

Seems like it was from himself?

Okay then.

It’s not a problem.

Grabbing four of the Life Rhyme Fruits, Li Jing casually handed the largest one to Jiang Yini.

Jiang Yini accepted it casually.

Seeing this, Ling Ling slightly furrowed her brows.

"Aren’t you both eating them now?"

"No rush, we’ll eat them when we get back."

Li Jing responded while looking at the Life Tree in the distance.

"This Life Tree of Ling Ling’s..."

How well did Ling Ling understand Li Jing?

As soon as he began to speak, she immediately caught on to his intentions.

Didn’t wait for Li Jing to finish his sentence, she chattered away.

"Don’t get any ideas about this tree. I do want to move it to the Little Universe, but you wouldn’t be able to."

As she spoke, she explained.

"I think you must have guessed that I was born from this Life Tree. How long it has existed, even I don’t know. What is clear is that the entire Supreme God Domain revolves around it. If you want to move it, you would need to be capable of acquiring the whole Supreme God Domain."

Li Jing nodded at her words, feeling regretful.

Acquire the entire Supreme God Domain?

He couldn’t do that.

And no one else could either.

The Divine Domain at least had a natural presence within the universe.

Just by nature alone,

It could be considered no different from the Big World.

It’s not to say this is a different concept from a regular independent world.

Any independent world with an owner, is not easily acquired.

Just as he was about to say something, a heart-pulling female voice came penetrating from beyond the flower sea.

"Life Supreme, Goddess Phineas seeks an audience with The Spirit of Origin."

Caught off guard by this woman’s voice, Ling Ling paused, expressing her annoyance with a sigh.

"This little lass Phineas is as sensitive as ever. The moment I returned, she sensed it. I shouldn’t have given her the Kachak Fruit just because she accompanied me for a few days when she was still a Lower God. That helped her obtain the Life Attribute Authority."

"..."

Li Jing.

Ling Ling knowing about the miraculous uses of the Kachak Fruit on others wasn’t surprising at all.

Although the little one was kind of amusing,

She was essentially not stupid.

What’s more, Li Jing didn’t have to think to know

That the little one presenting him and Jiang Yini with Life Rhyme Fruits was not simply for them to taste something new.

The Spirit of Origin was naturally generous with those she was close to.

Otherwise, why would they say that as long as you continuously flatter the Spirit of Origin, benefits will be endless?

However, according to what Ling Ling said,

The Life Supreme, Goddess Phineas was completely nurtured by the little one. This was a bit absurd.

The key point was,

Phineas only happened to encounter Ling Ling when she was still a Lower God, and then accompanied her to play for a few days...

Hearing Ling Ling’s mutterings at this moment, Jiang Yini was also somewhat speechless.

The Life Rhyme Fruit was against the heavens.

But the one who was even more against the heavens was undoubtedly Ling Ling.

A low-level Lower God just played with her for a few days, and she gave such a big reward?

As the two were both speechlessly staring, Ling Ling said,

"Let’s go; let’s go out and see."

As she spoke, she didn’t forget to add one more thing,

"Li Jing, don’t just start a fight with Phineas when you meet her. Although the little lass is a bit attached to me, she is one of the few people in the Divine Domain who I don’t dislike and wouldn’t actively try to take advantage of me."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing fell silent.

Did he look like someone who would randomly start a fight?

However, after hearing what Ling Ling said,

He became somewhat interested in this Goddess of Life.
