Chapter 334: Demon Immortal Mister Yuan

"Demon Immortal?"

Chen Mo was startled.

In Star World, all creatures were capable of cultivation. Other than Star Generals and cultivators, Demon Beasts were the third system of cultivation. Demon Beasts cultivated Demon Qi, the most fundamental level of which was Demon Qi Nine Turns. After Nine Turns, there was a very dangerous "Reincarnation Tribulation Realm." If they were able to pass through Reincarnation Tribulation Realm, then the Demon Beast was able to undergo a complete reformation and leave the Six Paths, metamorphosing into humanoid form.

Demon Beasts of this Realm were practically Immortals – and they were called Demon Immortals.

A Demon Immortal's strength was roughly comparable to Universe Origin Three Boundaries and Lord Of Heaven Realms. However, they were nearly equal in strength to Heavenly Stars' True Phoenix Ninth Stage. No wonder Li Su was apprehensive.

"Relax, as long as we don't destroy the Rootless Tree, Mister Yuan1 won't make things difficult for us." Sun Yingmeng carefreely shrugged, "At any rate, we are disciples of Mount Hua. He won't kill us. Don't tell me he can even kill the Sleeping Immortal?"

"So long as we are only absorbing Rootless Qi, nothing should happen." As Sun Yingmeng spoke, she suddenly felt something was off: "This Rootless Qi seems be much more concentrated than normal."

"Isn't this very good? The Defense One Qi produced ought to last Chen Mo about a year." Li Xiao pursed her lips.

"Wrong, this Rootless Qi has something else compared to the one from when I came here ten years ago." Sun Yingmeng felt something was not right. She looked towards the top of the tree, and her expression was both alarmed and worried: "Not good."

"What?"

Chen Mo and Li Xiao looked at her shocked expression.

"No wonder the Rootless Qi is so concentrated. This is bad." Sun Yingmeng helplessly pointed upwards.

They followed her finger and looked, spotting a fruit dangling from the dense foliage. It was completely ash-colored, and a vortex of qi endlessly gathered on the fruit.

"Rootless Divine Fruit!!"

Li Xiao cursed. "How are we so unlucky."

Chen Mo was still not clear on the state of the two girls, but he could discern that this Rootless Divine Fruit was somewhat dangerous.

"The Rootless Tree takes ten years to blossom, ten years to bear fruit, and then another ten years for the fruit to ripen…This Rootless Divine Fruit seems just about ripe." Sun Yingmeng said in vexation: "No wonder the Rootless Qi is so concentrated. It turns out to be because of the Rootless Divine Fruit's absorption."

The Rootless Fruit required the absorption of Rootless Qi to ripen. During this time, the Rootless Tree would emit even more Rootless Qi. This Rootless Qi would be much more pure compared to any time before, and the Demon Beasts would also absorb much more.

Chen Mo still did not understand how this was a misfortunate thing.

"The Rootless Divine Fruit and the Defense One Qi are basically the same, but the results are a hundredfold stronger. Meaning…Mister Yuan perhaps won't let us absorb the Rootless Qi." Sun Yingmeng bit her lip.

Things that one most worries about often come to pass. All of a sudden, the Demon Beasts beside the Rootless Tree sensed enormous danger and fled.

Chen Mo looked and saw a white shadow somersault across the swamp.

It nimbly hopped hundreds of li, jumping in front of the Rootless Tree in the blink of an eye.

He was a tall and imposing middle-aged man. His brows were like swords, his eyes like stars, bright and full of expression.

"Greetings, Mister Yuan." Sun Yingmeng lovably smiled.

The middle-aged man glanced over them. His gaze passed over Chen Mo, "I was wondering who was still below the Rootless Tree. Turns out to be disciples of Mount Hua's Ancestor Chen Tuan."

"So Mount Hua has men now, too? I wonder whose lover he is?" A faint smile flit across the man's lips.

"Mister Yuan is truly funny. Chen Mo has passed Mount Hua's Three Checkpoints and is but a disciple that the Ancestor personally recognized. He enjoys great favor from Chen Tuan, and his chess skills are unmatched." Sun Yingmeng effortlessly answered.

"A young hero, outstanding bearing. Seems Ancestor Chen Tuan has accepted an exceptional disciple." Mister Yuan nodded: "However, today's Rootless Qi cannot be given to you, Sun Simiao."

Sun Yingmeng wrinkled her face: "Yingmeng only wants a tiny bit of Rootless Qi, nothing more. With so much of it around, the maturation of the Rootless Divine Fruit would not be hindered."

Mister Yuan expressionlessly said: "The Rootless Divine Fruit requires Rootless Qi during its maturation period. If you take too much, there will be effects. This Immortal does not want to risk that."

Li Xiao shouted: "This Mount Hua is our domain in the first place. A monkey like you turning into an immortal in this place is already giving you enough face. This Rootless Tree also belongs to our Mount Hua, don't think that this is yours!!"

Li Xiao always spoke her mind regardless of the consequences and would dare to say anything.

Mister Yuan was calm as a dry well, surprisingly not angry.

"This Immortal naturally realizes that. But I have waited in this Rootless Valley for thirty years already for this Divine Fruit to grow ripe. Now is the most critical moment. Please, I am asking for you to show understanding. Wait until the Divine Fruit matures, then I will leave Mount Hua."

"The Rootless Divine Fruit needs at least another year to mature, we cannot wait that long." Sun Yingmeng shook her head.

Mister Yuan cupped his fist: "This Immortal respects your reputation, ‘King Of Medicine,' I hope you do not force me to do this."

"Don't tell me you can kill us?" Li Xiao sneered.

She hardly finished when Mister Yuan's eyes glared. An immense bolt of Demonic Energy headed for Li Xiao's chest to send the girl flying. Li Xiao smirked, fundamentally not giving in: "I am the great Li Su, as if I would be afraid of you."

Her shoulder shook, and Star Energy poured forth. Her Roadless Realm resisted Mister Yuan's pressure.

Mister Yuan pushed his palm.

The apparently normal palm-wind seemed to freeze space itself, and the pressure became a hundred times stronger than before. His Demon Immortal level power was sufficient to clash several bouts with True Phoenix, how could Li Xiao be a match for him.

Against Mister Yuan's oppression, Li Xiao bit her lip, but her legs still were the first to destabilize. The great earth of Yellow Court could hardly prop her up.

Bang!!!

Demonic Energy lifted Li Xiao's legs. The girl's expression changed. She was about to suffer disgrace in front of Sun Yingmeng, something very humiliating for Li Xiao, but all of a sudden, a heavy force patted her shoulder and firmly set her in place again. The simple and pure brute force came from behind the girl.

Li Xiao felt herself braced against Buzhou Mountain, and her first reaction was relief.

A Black Turtle True Spirit took shape behind her. Its growl dispersed Mister Yuan's pressure.

Mister Yuan grunted.

"Senior's Realm is high, leaving us in your dust. However, Your Servant wants to ask for advice."

A deep voice made Li Xiao incomparably steadfast. The man standing behind her and supporting her was none other than Chen Mo.

Chen Mo gripped the girl's shoulder and used the Black Turtle True Spirit to withstand Mister Yuan's oppressive intimidation. Among the Four Holy Beasts, the Black Turtle was practically unshakeable. Even a Demon Immortal's intimidation paled in comparison.

Li Xiao rolled her shoulder, hinting to Chen Mo to release her.

"Black Turtle True Spirit!" Mister Yuan's eyes carried slight admiration: "I never expected to see a Star Warrior capable of refining a Four Symbols True Spirit. Mount Hua is fortunate."

"Chen Mo is the genius that the Ancestor favors. The future Mount Hua will need his assistance. Mister Yuan, Mount Hua has not treated you unfavorably, no? You have cultivated at Mount Hua for at least a century, and Ancestor Chen Tuan has never made things difficult for you. Now that Mount Hua is facing difficulties, and with an exceptionally talented genius Star Warrior, we need the Defense One Qi to bolster our strength. Mister, will you help us or not?" Sun Yingmeng seized the chance to speak. Every word she uttered was incomparably sincere.

"I do not recognize him as a genius." Li Xiao complained.

Mister Yuan was slightly contemplative of Sun Yingmeng's words: "Miss Simiao, your words are reasonable. Given Mount Hua's present situation, to have such a Star Warrior is a variable, but who knows if this is disaster or fortune."

"Hmph, according to reason, this Rootless Divine Fruit belongs to our Mount Hua, to Chen Mo, as it should. Enough with the negotiations. We should just return and inform the Ancestor. I think Sister Shanxue would be very pleased to give the Rootless Divine Fruit to Chen Mo." Li Xiao was a bit unreconciled about her loss just now.

Mister Yuan faintly smiled: "Should be so."

"Ai, Xiaoxiao, Mister Yuan has waited for the Rootless Divine Fruit for so many years, and he has helped Mount Hua solved past crises. Don't be so harsh. With my strength as Yingmeng, concocting a hundred bottles of Defense One Qi for Chen Mo would have the same effect. Hee, hee, does Mister agree with Yingmeng?"2

"I don't want this Defense One Qi. Might as well just let me have a bout with this Mister Yuan. I just so happened to want to test the Black Turtle Swords." Chen Mo's every word was like steel, powerful and resonating.

"Young hero, your unyielding spirit is laudable." Mister Yuan smiled: "Since this is the case, how about this. This Immortal shall not make things difficult for you."

"Since Mister Simiao says this little brother is someone with great potential, then trade several blows with This Immortal. This Immortal wants to know just whether or not he has the strength to be so bold. If he is as Mister Simiao says he is, then I will no longer obstruct your business about the Rootless Qi. But if he is only strong in appearance, then forgive This Immortal for being unable to hand the Rootless Qi to a mediocre warrior."

"This?"

Sun Yingmeng and Li Xiao glanced at each other. They then turned their gazes to Chen Mo.

Mister Yuan was a Demon Immortal, after all. He had a chance in a battle against a top-notch Earthly Star General, but if Chen Mo were to fight him, that honestly would be very dangerous. Li Xiao just now was already their best case scenario.

"Good."

Chen Mo did not need another moment to think, straightforwardly agreeing.

"Three moves. If you can take on three of This Immortal's moves without falling, then This Immortal shall acknowledge you." Mister Yuan said.

"Three moves isn't enough to enjoy ourselves, how about we add a few more." Chen Mo laughed.

"So as not to damage the Rootless Tree, how about we move over to the valley nearby?" Mister Yuan smiled.

"Sure."

Mister Yuan leapt forth, already vanishing from the Rootless Valley in a few breaths' time.

"Chen Mo, be careful, this Mister Yuan is a White Ape who has attained the Dao. His strength is boundless, and he is smarter than most people." Sun Yingmeng warned.

"Leave it to me." Chen Mo smiled. He stepped onto a Flying Sword and followed Mister Yuan.

Spotting Mister Yuan's nimble, somersaulting figure. A cultivator's escape techniques completely paled in comparison. Chen Mo could not help but stir his will to learn.

"Chen Mo really is so cool." Sun Yingmeng sighed.

Li Xiao was unhappy: "Yingmeng, are you smitten with him? He's doomed himself, surprisingly trading blows with a Demon Immortal. Hmph, even if he doesn't die, he would be crippled for a few years, and the Defense One Qi would be useless."

"No matter." Sun Yingmeng disagreed: "If he's crippled, This Lady will just look after him. This Lady is the King Of Medicine. Even if he dies, I can resurrect him."

"If you dare love a damned man, I'll kill him…" Li Xiao disapproved.

Sun Yingmeng laughed." You're so jealous, don't tell me that you love me?"

Li Xiao stared blankly but did not reply.

A short time after Mister Yuan left, the Demon Beasts that fled before began to move restlessly towards the Rootless Tree.

"You beasts, this Rootless Qi is what we came here for. Don't think of absorbing even one bit more." Li Xiao sneered and turned her attention to the Demon Beasts as she took out her spear.
