Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 98: Ch 98: Mysterious Sky Fruits

The crowd stared intently at the Mysterious Sky Tree, all wondering where the Mysterious Sky Fruit was hidden. They had come specifically for the fruit, and not being able to see it made them anxious.

"The Mysterious Sky Tree has its own secrets. Let’s get closer and take a look," Mu Bailing suggested, having seemingly thought of something. Ye Yun nodded in agreement.

Jing Jun and Emrys remained silent. Jing Jun’s silence stemmed from the recent events, while Emrys kept quiet because of his limited knowledge about the Mysterious Sky Fruit and the Mysterious Sky Tree. He only knew what Ye Yun had told him.

Everyone then started walking towards the ancient-looking tree. Ye Yun and Mu Bailing walked together. Emrys and Jing Jun followed behind them.

At the same time, many people also started walking towards the tree as well. In just a short period of time, hundreds of people were standing right below the Mysterious Sky Tree. All of them could feel the unusual power coming from it.

Emrys suddenly frowned. The power coming from the tree was very unusual, but the Cosmic Essence Bead was reacting to it. This power was clearly different from the foggy energy, but it appeared very attractive to the Cosmic Essence Bead for some reason.

As they remain standing in front of the Mysterious Sky Tree, Emrys is the first one to notice a very bizarre situation. He sensed the strange power of the Mysterious Sky Tree was slowly gathering around his body.

At first, Emrys thought that only he was faced with this situation, but he soon noticed that everyone else was the same.

One by one, others also started feeling the same. They could sense that strange powers originating from the tree were gathering around their bodies.

About an hour later, everyone’s bodies were covered by a mysterious power that was incomparably vast. It spread out in all directions with the Mysterious Sky Tree as the center.

Right then, several people entered a state of enlightenment. They closed their eyes as if they were communicating with the mysterious strength. Ye Yun was naturally among them. Even Mu Bailing and Jing Jun entered the state of enlightenment.

Only Emrys among the group of four, for some unknown reason, was unable to enter this state. At first, he was puzzled at the state of everyone. Everyone had their eyes closed and appeared to completely lost the sense of their surroundings.

Emrys had never seen anything like this before, so he was puzzled at first. But he soon understood what this state meant from the way other people talked about it.

It turned out that this state was known as enlightenment, a rare and mysterious condition that allowed individuals to rapidly improve in all aspects. Remarkably, time did not affect those in the state of enlightenment, making it an extraordinary and highly sought-after experience.

However, not everyone is qualified to enter this state. Only extraordinary geniuses and extremely lucky people could enter the state of enlightenment.

Emrys attempted to enter this state but failed. The mysterious power had gathered around his body just like everyone else, yet he was unable to achieve enlightenment. He couldn’t think of any valid reason for this failure, but there was nothing he could do about it.

However, he wasn’t the only one who couldn’t enter the state of enlightenment. Many others were in the same situation. They could only look at those who had succeeded in entering this mysterious state with envy and jealousy in their eyes.

Since Emrys failed and did nothing about the situation, he did not try anymore and just sat down not far from Ye Yun and others.

Just like that, a few hours passed. During these few hours, Emrys felt auras rising on several people. Obviously, these people benefitted greatly after obtaining enlightenment.

At this moment, the ground shook and buzzed all of a sudden. Cracks started to spread in all directions surrounding the Mysterious Sky Tree.

"What happened?"

"What is all this?"

"Earthquake?"

Everyone was surprised, and all of them quickly retreated. Those who had entered deep into the Comprehension also woke up from the shock and mindlessly stared at the ongoing quake.

Countless vines suddenly emerged from the ground around the Mysterious Sky Tree. They intertwined and whipped in the air. The force behind the whips was terrifying.

At the same time, waves of strange energy burst out from the tree. It was extremely astounding. This time, the energy was very similar to the foggy energy inside Emrys’s Cosmic Essence Core.

Just as Emrys was pondering, he raised his head to look at the Mysterious Sky Tree. He noticed eighteen bright lights shining in the middle of the branches and leaves. Each of these lights was incomparably dazzling.

When the light completely dispersed, eighteen fruits appeared on the branches of the Mysterious Sky Tree. Fragrance immediately drifted from the direction of the tree and entered the nostrils of everyone. Its aroma made one feel refreshed and a hundred times more energetic.

"Mysterious Sky Fruits!"

A voice suddenly cried out from the crowd. His words made everyone desperately look up.

"Has the Mysterious Sky Fruits finally appeared?"

They frantically looked at the tree, and sure enough, the fruits were there. Many were eager to try them. After all, the fruits were known for their extraordinary effects. That kind of temptation was not something that ordinary people could resist.

However, there were only eighteen Mysterious Sky Fruits, and there were no less than a few hundred powerful people present. The intense competition would make it difficult for them to obtain the Mysterious Sky Fruit.

When people thought about this, many of those who were not confident in their own abilities showed disappointed expressions on their faces.

Such a huge ancient tree produced pitifully few fruits. Since many people were eyeing the fruits covetously, a desperate battle was destined to occur here.

Who knows how many people will be injured and even killed?

Without a doubt, this had increased the difficulty of obtaining the Mysterious Sky Fruit to a whole new level.

Ye Yun had long since woken up due to the earlier disturbance. He decided he also needed the Mysterious Sky Fruit. With this fruit, completing the twelve steps would save him a lot of trouble and time.

However, with so many experts eyeing the Mysterious Sky Fruit with a predator’s unwavering attention, it would be extremely difficult for him to acquire a fruit.
