Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 626: Contending for the Holy Fruit
Just as a crack appeared in the array, a refreshing fragrance wafted out from the fissure.
There must be an incredible treasure at the center of this array!
"What a fragrant smell, there must be heavenly treasures inside!"
Ji Huo'er's face lit up with joy and excitement. Compared with opening the array, she was more concerned about what someone was guarding here with such a formation.
The array slowly opened, and both the golden Buddha light and the black demonic Qi gradually dissipated.
Finally, the true appearance at the center of the array was revealed.
At the same time, a green vine with nine segments appeared, each segment ending with three palm-sized, emerald-green leaves, brimming with endless vitality.
At the root of the vine, a spirit fruit was flickering with dazzling brilliance, and waves of spiritual medicine fragrance assaulted the senses.
Outside Mount Sumeru.

Upon seeing this spirit fruit, the faces of countless Supreme Saint experts revealed a hint of shock.
At that moment, everyone held their breath, inhaling sharply.
The powerful beings looked at each other: "Is that... the legendary Abyssal Saint Fruit?"
"A vine with nine segments, each segment bearing three spirit leaves! Indeed, this is the rumored Abyssal Saint Fruit," said a Supreme Saint Expert with rapid breathing, certain of his assertion.
"Who would have thought, the Abyssal Saint Fruit would actually appear in the central area of Mount Sumeru!"
At this moment, all the Supreme Saint experts were seething with excitement.
"No wonder such a strange array was laid down here, it turns out it was guarding the Abyssal Saint Fruit!"
The Abyssal Saint Fruit, possessing the wonderful use of condensing Divine Sense. If an ordinary Supreme Saint expert were to consume one of these fruits, their Divine Sense strength could double.
Do not underestimate just a doubling; this increase is already quite astonishing, comparable to ascending a small Realm.
Moreover, this was a permanent enhancement with no other side effects.
This was akin to your Soul at the early stage of Supreme Saint being able to compete with an expert at the intermediate stage of Supreme Saint.
This Abyssal Saint Fruit made all Supreme Saint experts extremely covetous.
"What a pity, such a precious treasure is going to be obtained by such a young girl!" some Supreme Saint experts sighed.
"But this may be for the best. Once the little girl takes it out of Mount Sumeru, we can find an opportunity to snatch it away," thought some cultivators secretly.
Although the medicinal power would be greatly reduced, it still held a strong allure for these Supreme Saint experts.
Even Qinchuan, who was observing all this from the void, was taken aback; he hadn't expected Ji Huo'er to have such good luck to encounter the Abyssal Fruit here.
"Huo'er, this Spirit Fruit has matured. Go and pick it quickly, swallow and refine it. The medicinal essence of the Abyssal Fruit will rapidly evaporate once it leaves the vine. Immediate refining will maximize the use of its medicinal power," Qinchuan transmitted his message at that moment.
"Okay, big brother!" Ji Huo'er crisply answered.
Having said that, Ji Huo'er hopped and jumped towards the Spirit Fruit. She didn't doubt Qinchuan's words in the slightest.
But just as she had stepped half a step into the array, a crisp and cold reprimand came from behind her.
"Stop right there!"
A girl dressed in a white robe, carrying a longsword on her back, and standing with a graceful posture had unknowingly entered the depths of the cave. Her face showed a cold expression as she chided Ji Huo'er.
"Huh?"
"Who are you?"
The other party was obviously hostile, but Ji Huo'er still looked innocent and naive, asking with a smile on her lips.
"Someone else has arrived at this cave!" It was only now that the many cultivators outside Mount Sumeru noticed that while they had been focused solely on the sacred fruit, they had missed the arrival of a cultivator from the Immortal Platform Realm.
"Is this person a disciple from Heavenly Sword Gate or one of Xuanhuang Sect's subsidiaries?"
"Does she intend to compete for this Spirit Fruit?"
At this moment, once the cultivators confirmed that the girl in white was not from their own Sect, they actually hoped she wouldn't be able to seize the sacred fruit.
Because.
If Ji Huo'er, an outsider, obtained the sacred fruit, everyone would have a reason to fight for it, but if the girl in white obtained it, it would be inappropriate for either Heavenly Sword Gate or Xuanhuang Sect to make a move.
"Heavenly Sword Gate, Bai Shengyi." The girl was as calm as a still well, her face devoid of any emotion.
"Hm?"
As soon as the name "Bai Shengyi" was uttered, the many cultivators and Supreme Saint Experts outside Mount Sumeru turned their gazes towards Elder Bai from the main Heavenly Sword Gate.
"Bai Shengyi, it's actually that Heavenly Character Level Bai Shengyi, Fairy Bai!" the cultivators exclaimed in surprise.
In the Spirit Dragon Holy Land, blood stones were used to test numerous prodigies, and in the end, only five cultivators were deemed to be Heavenly Character Level.
And Bai Shengyi was an individual from the main Heavenly Sword Gate, who used to be frequently compared with the Chen Grade Level's waste such as the Thirteenth Prince.
"Elder Bai, never would I have thought you'd be so lucky, your granddaughter actually found this place," said an envious elder from a Heavenly Sword Gate subsidiary.
"Indeed, since your granddaughter has personally come here, it seems that the Spirit Fruit is as good as hers," a Supreme Saint Expert said with a deep sigh.
Bai Shengyi, the darling of the Heavenly Sword Gate, Elder Bai's own granddaughter, possessed the Spirit Feather Saint Body. At only eighteen she was already at the Late Stage Peak of the Immortal Platform Realm, a mere half-step from the Dragon Transformation Realm. Amongst the younger generation, she stood out prominently. Even the Supreme Saints had heard of her name.
They naturally didn't think this girl could compete with Bai Shengyi. Now that Bai Shengyi had appeared here, the Spirit Fruit seemed to be already in her pocket.
"Congratulations, Elder Bai, kudos to you for this unexpected joy without even participating in the event," some Supreme Saint Experts came forward and congratulated him.
Elder Bai, too, held his head high with a spirit full of excitement, and even the anger from the Thirteenth Prince's fall seemed to dissipate a bit.
"Where, where, I just hope Little Yi won't consume the Spirit Fruit immediately after picking it," Elder Bai said.
"How could that be possible? Mount Sumeru is only open for three days; every minute and second is precious. If she consumes the Spirit Fruit inside, wasting time is the lesser issue; missing the time to leave the mountain would be a real problem. I believe no one would consume Spiritual Medicine to break through inside," said a Supreme Saint Expert.
Clearly, they regarded the sacred fruit as something that was already in Elder Bai's pocket.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Ji Huo'er blinked her lively big eyes, full of curiosity and brilliance, and asked, "Big sister, what do you want?"
"This Spirit Fruit, this Holy Maiden shall take it!" Bai Shengyi asserted her high and mighty stance, her tone cold and detached from the mortal world.
"On what grounds?"
Ji Huo'er was originally excited to encounter a stranger in the depths of the earth. She had even been somewhat pleased until she heard this.
Instantly, she jumped up like a little fox with its fur on end, her young face full of wariness.
"I got here first and the array was activated with the guidance of Big Brother. By right, this sacred fruit is mine. What gives you the right to snatch my sacred fruit away!" Ji Huo'er snarled defiantly.
"On what grounds? On the grounds of the sword in the hands of this Holy Maiden!"
As she spoke, Bai Shengyi beckoned with her two fingers, and the Spirit Sword transformed into a streak of light, flying out from behind her, revolving around her, issuing a series of soft whistles.
