System: Replicating The Heavens

Chapter 135 Ch 135: Waste Of Time

On the way to the top of the mountain, Alex occasionally saw some rare spiritual fruits beside them. There were also some rare medicinal herbs, but these weren't his targets. Alex didn't do anything to them.

The deeper he went, the higher the grade of herbs he saw. At the same time, he also same many ferocious demonic beasts. Finally, Alex arrived at the top of the mountain. There was a huge tree that was a thousand feet tall here. It had lush branches and leaves, and he could vaguely see two red fruits hanging on it. These fruits were very strange, and there were some strange patterns engraved on these fruits which looked very natural. These patterns were like deep red lines that looked like blood veins.

Next to this tall tree, there was a huge dragon sleeping next to it. It was a huge dragon that was about 300 meters tall. The tree looked a little small beside this huge dragon.

The huge dragon opened and closed its mouth. It was snoring, and its snores were like rolling thunder.

"Immortal Spirit Fruit!" Looking at these fruits, Alex's eyes revealed a trace of joy. The incomparably precious Immortal Spirit Fruit was right in front of him at this moment, as if it was within his grasp!

However, when Alex took another step closer, the snoring sound of the dragon seemed to be a little softer. Alex hurriedly took a step back.

"Although I'm invisible, this dragon is too strong. It might be able to see me. But I have no choice, I have to take the risk."

Alex considered for a moment, he tentatively took a step towards the Immortal Spirit Fruit tree with extra cautiousness. Alex's eyes had been paying attention to the reaction of the giant dragon. He discovered that its snores were still so loud, as if it didn't sense Alex at all.

After not noticing anything suspicious, Alex let out a sigh of relief in his heart. Then, he carefully walked to the side of the Immortal Spirit Fruit Tree and easily climbed onto it.

Alex smiled and was about to pluck the two fruits hanging down the tree, however, at this moment, his gaze fell on something red in the dense foliage of the tree. Alex frowned and went there slowly. Then he separated the foliage and was shocked to see another two Immortal Spirit Fruits there.

"There are actually two more. It means this Immortal Spirit Tree bore four Immortal Spirit Fruits this time, it is just that two are deeply hidden and no one was able to discover them, causing everyone to misunderstand that there are only two Immortal Spirit Fruits. How surprising!"

Alex muttered and a smile appeared on his face. Then he hurriedly plucked the two Immortal Spirit Fruits before keeping them inside his spatial ring. Then he turned and looked at the other two Immortal Spirit Fruits that were visible to others as well.

It was at this time that Ash and the others appeared. Alex stopped where he was and didn't move. After all, if he is to pluck the remaining two Immortal Spirit Fruits at this time, the people below might started causing trouble. And this might wake up the Dragon below. So, for now, he chose to keep quiet.

"There they are, the two Immortal Spirit Fruits! The timing of our arrival is very right!"

Ben looked at the two Immortal Spirit Fruits on the tree and said with a wide smile on his face.

"Anyway, I only needed two of them. A person can swallow only one Immortal Spirit Fruit in their life. If that person still swallows another one, it'll have no effect on that person. I already have two Immortal Spirit Fruits with me, one is for me and the other one can be given to Huang Long. At least I crossed the Sky River with you guys, so I'll leave these two fruits for you."

Alex smiled and slowly started climbing down from the tree. Then he slowly started leaving this place. When he passed Ash and the others, they did not react at all.

"In the past, Immortal Spirit Tree can only bear one Immortal Spirit Fruits at most. This time, there are actually two of them. Hahaha!"

Ash's face revealed a happy expression. Then, he took out a bag of powder from his pocket and threw it at the giant dragon. The powder was sucked into the stomach of the giant dragon through its breath. Its snores seemed to be a little louder.

"The sleeping powder has taken effect. Let's go and pick up the Immortal Spirit Fruits. After that, we have to hurry and leave this place. This dragon is very powerful. The sleeping powder can only affect the dragon for a very short period of time. After that, it will wake up." Ash said in a low voice to others.

Ben nodded and immediately climbed up the tree and plucked all two Immortal Spirit Fruits. Everyone held their breaths and focused. They looked vigilantly at this giant dragon that was guarding the Immortal Spirit Fruits until Ben handed the Immortal Spirit Fruits to Ash. Only then did they heave a sigh of relief.

"Don't leave the Immortal Spirit Fruits on me alone. Ben, take one with you."

It was best not to put all the eggs in one basket, lest the basket break and the eggs crack.

After that, the group returned to Sky River once again. This operation was going smoothly. As long as they crossed Sky River and returned to the other side of the river, it would be perfect!

Alex has been waiting for them at the bank of the Sky River. After all, he did not know whether the Demonic Beast underneath Sky River had woken up or not. If he crossed the river alone, he might be detected by the demonic beast inside and might be swallowed by it.

Ben and Ash were the same as before. They split into two groups and crossed the river from two different directions at the same time. Once again, everything went very smoothly.

At the bottom of Sky River, that pair of eyes opened up once again. The demonic beast looked at Alex and sighed, muttering in low voice: "Only if you were not there, boy."

"Haha, looks like the Demonic Beast at the depth of the Sky River is not there for now!"

After Ben, Tori, and everyone landed on the ground, they turned their heads to look at Sky River and laughed happily.

"The operation this time was very smooth. Perhaps it was the blessing of the heavens." Ash also said with a smile.

"Let's go. Don't stand here and talk anymore. Our main mission is done now. Give me that Immortal Spirit Fruit." Ash said and extended his hand to Ben.

Although with reluctance, Ben still handed over the Immortal Spirit Fruit in his hands to Ash. After that, they left.

Alex was even faster than them, he had already run towards the direction where Huang Long and his companions were waiting for him.

However, when he arrived at that place, he didn't see anyone. There was only a note left there where it was written that they had been discovered by Murad again and so they had no choice but to escape.

They also told Alex to keep the Immortal Spirit Fruit with him for now. They'll take it from him after leaving the Celestial Divine Secret Realm. Anyway, there was not much time left before the Celestial Divine Secret Realm will close.

.....

Alex's eyes blurred once again, when everything become clear, he saw his past self going crazy.

It was inside a room where everything is broken. Bed, chairs, some previous treasures, and even some herbs were destroyed.

In the middle of the room, Alex was sitting with red eyes. He was looking at his hand and was muttering something.

"Why? Why can't I cure this damn poison?"

"It is said that Immortal Spirit Fruit can cause a person to be almost reborn, however, nothing changed even after that. My physique and bloodlines are still damaged and this goddamn poison is still there."

It turned out that even after swallowing the Immortal Spirit Fruit, nothing changed. Everything about him was the same as in the past.

It is understandable why he almost went crazy.

After all, he had gone through many hellish things in order to obtain the Immortal Spirit Fruit, however, all his struggle went to waste. All his time was just a waste of time. Nothing changed at all.

Well, one thing did change though. His cultivation base advanced from Innate Stage Level 7 to Innate Stage Level 9, just a step away from the Golden Core Stage.

Taking a deep breath, Alex took out the Outline Of The World once again and said: "I can only rely on you. Just tell me what I have to do so that you can acknowledge me as your master. Tell me, bastard!"

However, no matter how Alex shouted and cried, the Outline Of The World didn't react.
