Chapter 1309 - Chapter 1309 Chapter 1309 Wood God Fruit

Chapter 1309: Chapter 1309: Wood God Fruit Chapter 1309: Chapter 1309: Wood God Fruit The heavens showed mercy, and just as Huang Xiaolong and his companions were about to be completely defeated by hunger, they finally arrived at the palace of the Jupiter Realm Master!

The palace was built on a towering tree, whose top nearly reached the clouds, and whose trunk was terrifyingly thick.

Even the well-informed Sword Immortal Emperor and the Purple Flame Immortal Emperor had never seen such a gigantic tree.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the World Tree of Jupiter,” explained the old man quickly, then urged, “Hurry, enter the palace! The Realm Master will surely welcome you!”

Thereupon, the old man led a group of natives, guiding Huang Xiaolong and the others, flying towards the palace at the top of the tree.

Soon, they reached the treetop, which seemed like its own nation–connected to the heavens, shrouded in mist, with spiritual energy of the wood element emerging endlessly. Apart from the staggeringly numerous palaces, there were countless houses, cities, and streets. A large number of native soldiers in armor patrolled everywhere.

The so-called palace, at first glance, was resplendent like it was made of metal, but upon closer approach, one realized that it was constructed from various types of wood. It emitted a strange fragrance all around.

At that moment, the palace doors were wide open, with many natives already waiting at the entrance.

The old man led Huang Xiaolong and the others straight into the great hall.

Inside the palace’s great hall!

The spacious hall, made entirely of wood; at the seat of honor, there sat a green-skinned woman on a wooden throne!

This Woman, apart from the tender buds and growth rings on her body, was incredibly beautiful in terms of facial features and figure–graceful, dainty, and exuding nobility.

Her age appeared to be that of a woman in her thirties from Earth, charming in every smile and frown, creating a unique captivating allure.

Her cultivation level was roughly equivalent to that of an 8th level Profound Immortal, undoubtedly the most powerful existence on this Jupiter.

This must be the Realm Master–the one overseeing the first world among the ten realms under the Heavenly Decree, Jupiter!

Huang Xiaolong thought to himself with some surprise–‘So, the master of the first world is a woman~~~’

Looking again, to the left and right of the hall, sat several dozen native elders, both male and female, whose faces bore growth rings much like wrinkles. But their eyes were filled with an ancient and wise gleam.

“Welcome, Treasure Hunters!” The Realm Master stood up, spreading her arms as if to embrace something.

Her voice was filled with magnetism.

“Realm Master~~ no need to be polite~~ please~~ give us food–food! We need food!” Sword Immortal Emperor spoke through gritted teeth. He was on his last breath; although he loathed the Jupiter Realm Master to the core, swearing to obliterate her, he held back his rage at this moment, lowered his stance, even sounded slightly pleading.

The others mostly looked at the charming Realm Master with begging eyes.

Of course, should the Realm Master dare refuse or act pretentiously, taking advantage to make unreasonable demands, Sword Immortal Emperor and the others would immediately act, subdue her, force her to hand over food, and then slowly torture her.

“Huang Xiaolong, we are currently at a disadvantage; I fear the Realm Master might act against us~~” Third Crown Prince stood next to Huang Xiaolong, his dragon eyes also flashing a fierce light.

Unexpectedly, the Realm Master casually clapped her hands.

Suddenly, many natives brought out large bamboo baskets.

The natives placed the baskets in front of Huang Xiaolong and the others.

Inside the baskets, there were pink-red fruits, but not fresh ones–they were dried fruits, about the size of chestnuts, emitting a strange smell.

The smell was hard to identify as fragrant, but when Huang Xiaolong and the others sniffed it, an indescribable appetite surged throughout their bodies!

It was as if starving gluttons were presented with the most delicious food in the world!

“My fellow Treasure Hunters, please, don’t be shy. Help yourselves!” the Realm Master cheerfully said.

At that moment, Huang Xiaolong and the others could no longer care if the dried fruits had been tampered with or if they were poisoned. Driven by instinctual desire, they clumsily scrambled, grabbing the dried fruits from the baskets and stuffing them into their mouths.

Boom~~~!!!!!

Upon entering their mouths, the dried fruits melted instantly, transforming into streams of warmth that rushed directly into their organs, nourishing and moisturizing their nearly shriveled intestines and stomachs.

Additionally, some of that warmth even permeated their brains, merging with their spirits, revitalizing their previously languid spirits.

As if a long drought had met a sweet rain!

As if a glutton was feasting on delicacies!

Wine drinkers savor the exquisite brew!

“Delicious~~” Huang Xiaolong’s hunger, like a retreating tide, was replaced by the vigor of a dragon and tiger, elevating his entire state to its peak, and it seemed as though his strength had slightly improved!

It was as if eating an Immortal Pill, drinking Jadescent Nectar.

Having eaten just one dried fruit, Huang Xiaolong no longer felt hungry.

However, the taste of the dried fruit was truly soul-stirring, and he couldn’t help but reach for another.

Those around him shared the same thought.

“Hehehe~~” Just then, the realm master chuckled. “Treasure Hunters, one ‘Wood God Fruit’ can keep you from feeling hungry for a day. Eating more holds no additional benefits. Please, conserve a little.”

“Oh?” Immortal Emperor Wanjian, holding a dried fruit, had a divine light bursting violently in his eyes, exuding a frightening aura.

After his hunger had disappeared, Immortal Emperor Wanjian regained his regal composure, appearing as if he dominated the world.

With a slight movement of his fingers, now it only took a thought to reduce this realm master to a wisp of dust!

“Why? The realm master seems quite stingy,” Immortal Emperor Wanjian said sarcastically. “Since we are guests, could it be that eating a few more fruits causes you heartache?”

“You all misunderstand,” the realm master quickly explained.

“Stop the nonsense,” Demon King Kui sneered. “Surely, Immortal Emperor Shitian must have told you natives before that one day treasure hunters would come. Now, just hand over the most important treasure of this realm! And also, give us the key to the second realm!”

Immortal Emperor Ziyen also sneered coldly. “This Jupiter is truly peculiar, causing us to starve and even leading a Profound Immortal to his death! This is unforgivable! You must atone! That said, let us freely cut down the various trees on Jupiter as compensation.”

Everyone was set on cutting down trees extensively on Jupiter.

After all, the most precious thing on Jupiter was its trees; casually taking any would be enormously valuable.

“Enough talk! Hand them over!” Immortal Emperor Wanjian’s aura erupted, enveloping the realm master, intending to oppress her very soul.

“Hehehe~~ Immortal Emperor Wanjian, you really don’t understand the grace of cherishing fragility,” Huang Xiaolong said with a half-smile. “I think, since Immortal Emperor Shitian incorporated Jupiter into the first realm of the Shitian Cosmos, it must not be that simple. Right, realm master?”

The realm master indeed didn’t take Immortal Emperor Wanjian’s threats too seriously, and turning her charming eyes to Huang Xiaolong, she smiled, “Young lad, you’re right, Lord Shitian has his arrangements.”

“You can stop behaving aggressively,” Third Crown Prince said with his arms crossed, his cold gaze sweeping over Immortal Emperor Wanjian and Immortal Emperor Ziyen. “Have you forgotten that pathetic plight like a bereaved dog just now?”

Immortal Emperor Wanjian and Immortal Emperor Ziyen both glared at Huang Xiaolong with great dislike.

“Treasure Hunters, please calm down and hear me out~~” the realm master said softly.

“Hmph!” Immortal Emperor Wanjian snorted maliciously. “Just say it! Remember, don’t be tricky; creatures like you are as insignificant as dogs or chickens to me. With a flip of my hand, I can kill countless of you! Even without my action, my subordinate Profound Immortals could exterminate every creature in your world!”

Standing behind the two Immortal Emperors, dozens of Profound Immortals were fierce and ready to kill.

The realm master smiled charmingly and said slowly, “Treasure Hunters, first off, let me clarify, Jupiter’s most precious treasure and the key to the next realm have both been sealed by Lord Shitian in a treasure box. Hehehe~~ Lord Shitian once said, among the universe, the powerful beings capable of breaking this seal are extremely, extremely rare. Mm~~ Lord Shitian mentioned, Great Demon King, Great Dragon King, and the top three Immortal Emperors of the Celestial Realm can break the seal, obtain the treasure and the key, but others…”

The realm master didn’t finish her sentence, but her meaning was obvious–no need to think about forcibly taking it, as even if you did, you couldn’t break the seal.

Everyone looked at each other, unsure.

Huang Xiaolong thoughtfully said, “Realm master, rest assured, we won’t forcefully plunder. Please continue.”

“Mm~~” The realm master gave Huang Xiaolong a friendly glance and continued, “Just now, the fruit you ate is called ‘Wood God Fruit.’ Since arriving on Jupiter, you’ve been influenced by our unique hunger law; no matter what you eat, you cannot escape this law. Only the ‘Wood God Fruit’ can temporarily free other beings from this hunger. However, the effect of a ‘Wood God Fruit’ lasts only one day. That means, after today, you’ll need to eat another ‘Wood God Fruit’ to stave off hunger.”

Huang Xiaolong looked at the bamboo basket in front of him. Each person had eaten approximately one Wood God Fruit just now, and there were not many fruits left in the basket.

“Then, I must give you all some regretful news,” the realm master shrugged helplessly. “The remaining Wood God Fruits on Jupiter are all here.”

“What?!” Third Crown Prince Dragon King was dumbfounded. “All of them here? That means, there are none left? Not even one?”

“That’s correct,” the realm master nodded affirmatively.

Huang Xiaolong quickly calculated and said, “Currently, the remaining Wood God Fruits can probably sustain us for three days. After three days, we will run out of food.”

“Three days is plenty,” Ninth Princess Dragon King said nonchalantly. “As long as we open the treasure box left in this realm by Immortal Emperor Shitian and obtain the key to the next realm, we can leave this not-so-wonderful world. Once we leave, we won’t be affected by this accursed law and won’t feel hungry again… Ah~~ the feeling of an empty stomach is really unpleasant.”

“How can we open the seal on that treasure box of Immortal Emperor Shitian?” Huang Xiaolong asked the realm master directly.
