Chapter 858: Chapter 785: The True Secret of the Reincarnation Tree

One day later!

The number of Human Race experts had surprisingly reached over a hundred. It was important to note that these hundred-plus individuals were all at the High Rank War God Level, without a single imposter among them.

This showed just how profound and terrifying the human foundation was. It made perfect sense why they were the Sovereigns of Earth. Of course, it was impossible for all of them to be city bosses. The vast majority were leaders of various factions.

Meanwhile, the Water Race experts hadn’t changed. Their gorgeous Divine Ships had previously arrived through the void, and their numbers were already clear. Including the Asura King, there were exactly eighty-one of them. There were still eighty-one. The Water Race had traveled a vast distance; it was impossible for them to have a continuous stream of reinforcements like the humans.

"Go, dispatch another ship of experts to hold the line. No, make it two," the Asura King ordered one of his subordinates.

Seeing the growing number of Human Race and Demon Race experts, the Water Race would be at a disadvantage if they didn’t up the ante. Setting aside what might happen after the Reincarnation Tree appeared, if any friction arose with the other two races, having fewer people would leave them lacking in confidence. Originally, the Asura King had arrived with overwhelming momentum. He hadn’t put Xuanyuan Zhan in his eyes at all, and the Demon Race didn’t even have a Rank Four Demon King. Who else could contend with him?

After being punched to the ground, the Asura King had learned how to behave. Even though the Demon Race currently had the fewest experts, that five-meter giant could crush everything in its path with destructive force. Instead, the Water Race had become the weakest party. Moreover, looking at this trend, the humans would only bring in more experts, and the Demon Race likely still had hidden cards to play.

Meanwhile, in the Demon Race’s lineup, Tu Xiao’an stood before seven breathtakingly beautiful women. It was a feast for the eyes. One didn’t even need to do anything; simply looking at this scene made life feel incredibly wonderful. The Seven Great Demon Kings of the Fox Cave were all present. The arrival of the Fox Immortal King made Tu Xiao’an especially happy.

"Sister Fox, I didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly." Tu Xiao’an didn’t put on any airs of the Snake Emperor in front of this woman.

The Fox Immortal King wore green clothes and White Silk. Her peerless elegance and profound Immortal Qi made it feel like blasphemy to call her a Demon.

"How could I dare not come when Lord Snake Emperor gave the order?" the Fox Immortal King said with a soft smile.

Tu Xiao’an smiled back, taking a long, deep look at her. The higher his strength grew, the more he realized this woman was far from simple. Her Cultivation had probably reached Rank Three Perfection a long time ago. He had initially thought she was on par with the Yellow Demon King, but now it seemed that Weasel was far inferior to this fox. The most terrifying entity in the Yaoling Mountain Range was undoubtedly her.

"Sister Fox must be preparing for Rank Four Ascension Transformation, right?"

The Fox Immortal King paused slightly, giving a noncommittal response. "Ascension is too difficult. Although I’ve had the qualifications for a long time, I don’t have the slightest confidence in succeeding.

"This time, even if Lord Snake Emperor hadn’t summoned me, I absolutely would have come anyway!"

"Oh?" Tu Xiao’an pondered for a moment. "Could it be that Sister Fox also wants to obtain the Reincarnation Tree Fruit?"

The Fox Immortal King nodded immediately, her eyes shining with dazzling starlight. "In the boundless river of time, even if the Reincarnation Tree can’t be called the number one Divine Tree, it definitely ranks in the top three. Its fruits are something Cultivators dream of; an opportunity rarely seen in ten thousand years.

"If I can obtain just one Reincarnation Tree Fruit, I will have the confidence to face my Ascension."

Tu Xiao’an was stunned by her words. Didn’t the Reincarnation Tree Fruits just contain powerful Ancient Exotic Beasts? What did that have to do with Rank Four of Ascension? Could the fruit actually be eaten?

"Does Lord Snake King truly not know the real power of the Reincarnation Tree Fruit?" the Fox Immortal King asked in surprise, noticing his confusion.

"The Reincarnation Tree Fruits contain Ancient Exotic Beasts. Besides that, is there something else special about them?"

Hearing this, the Fox Immortal King was almost speechless. "As a top-tier Divine Tree of Primordial Chaos, how could its fruits only have such a minor use? Yes, the Reincarnation Tree Fruits do contain powerful Exotic Beasts, but that is merely one type of fruit it bears—and it’s the absolute worst kind at that!

"Lord Snake Emperor, you went to such great lengths to summon the experts of the Yaoling Mountain Range, yet you truly don’t know the inside story?"

He didn’t even know the inside story, yet he made such a grand gesture? Was he playing house?

Tu Xiao’an looked utterly bewildered. "..."

Weren’t the Ancient Exotic Beasts within the fruits the real inside story? Listening to the Fox Immortal King’s words, could the Reincarnation Tree hold other secrets?

Suddenly, Tu Xiao’an was struck by realization. Yes, the Reincarnation Tree couldn’t be that simple. How could mere Ancient Exotic Beasts compel the Human Race to make such a grand move? There were already over a hundred High Rank War Gods present, many of whom had Rank Three Perfection Cultivation. Not to mention Rank Four Immortals. Although owning an Ancient Exotic Beast brought endless benefits, it wasn’t enough to drive people this crazy. Especially the Water Race, who usually hid in the deep sea and ignored the affairs of the world. Would they really mobilize just to obtain an Ancient Exotic Beast as a pet? Every single member of the Water Race could be considered an Exotic Beast themselves.

Tu Xiao’an initially thought that the fruits contained Rank Four Exotic Beasts. If he was lucky enough to catch one, he could subdue it. Then he would make a huge profit. Having a Rank Four Exotic Beast as a pet was incredibly awesome; he could throw his weight around wherever he went. Now it seemed he had oversimplified things.

He had rallied his forces simply because he didn’t want to be bullied, as this was human territory. If he didn’t display enough strength, he wouldn’t even have the right to drink soup, let alone eat meat.

"Sister Fox, what other secrets do the Reincarnation Tree Fruits hold? Feel free to speak bluntly."

After her speechlessness passed, the Fox Immortal King didn’t hide anything. "The Reincarnation Tree actually bears three types of fruits. The first is the worst kind I mentioned just now, which contains powerful Ancient Exotic Beasts. If you catch one and bind it with a drop of blood, it can be a great help. However, this is only a supplementary fruit. Aside from giving you an extra helper, it brings no benefit to your own strength and Cultivation. These are called Exotic Beast Fruits.

"The second type is entirely different. It can be considered a true Spirit Fruit—no, a Divine Fruit. It contains immense Spiritual Qi and Law Power. Eating this fruit allows you to quickly comprehend the Power of Laws, making the process of Rank Four of Ascension twice as effective with half the effort. Ancient Texts call these Law Fruits!

"Even for someone with outstanding Rank 3 Cultivation and extraordinary Talent, no matter if they are as strong as Demon King Liu, their Ascension might still fail. But if you first master the Power of Laws, it’s easier to gain the approval of the Heaven and Earth Law and succeed in your Ascension. Simply put, eating this kind of fruit increases your chances of a successful Ascension by thirty percent!"

As she spoke, greed flashed in the Fox Immortal King’s eyes. It seemed she was explicitly aiming for the Law Fruits.

"Thirty percent?" Tu Xiao’an was thoroughly shocked. What kind of concept was thirty percent? It practically guaranteed a smooth path to Rank Four. In other words, a Rank Three Perfection Cultivator’s chances of successfully Ascending were fifty-fifty at best. With this extra thirty percent, their odds would skyrocket to eighty-twenty.

Of course, fifty-fifty odds were impossible. Ascension was too difficult; it was basically a twenty-percent chance of success and an eighty-percent chance of failure. But with this additional thirty percent, it became an even fifty-fifty split.

The most crucial part was comprehending the Power of Laws and gaining the approval of the Heaven and Earth Law.
