Chapter 134 Ch 134: Crossing The Sky River
Ash's face revealed a cold smile. He said, "Don't even think about letting your pets help us explore the path. They won't dare to approach Sky River!"
"Then why don't we give up and explore some other place. Other than Immortal Spirit Fruits, there are many other treasures in the core area of this secret realm!" Tori looked at Ash with hopeful eyes and said.
"No, I must get the Immortal Spirit Fruit no matter what!" Ash shook his head and said.
"Why? There are many ways to improve our cultivation base and talent. Even if we can't get the Immortal Spirit Fruit this time, we can still look for other treasures. Obtaining some spiritual grass and spirit fruits will be enough to increase our cultivation a lot!" Another young man named Ben Ralley frowned and said.
"Ben is right." Someone nodded in agreement.
Ash coldly swept his eyes across the crowd and said with a sneer, "Do you all know that the reason our sect told us to get the Immortal Spirit Fruit is because they want to give it to the young sect master. Our Sect Leader has issued a death order. If we couldn't bring back the Immortal Spirit, we'll be kicked out from the sect."
"What!?"
Everyone had shocked expressions on their faces. Ben looked at Ash in disbelief. "Why have I never heard of this news? If it is true, the elders in the sect, or at least our masters would have definitely told us!"
"Don't worry. when you leave Celestial Divine Secret Realm this time, you will hear about this news. The reason why I know about it is because of my relationship with the Young Sect Master." Ash revealed a proud smile and said.
Everyone had no choice but to accept this shocking news they heard from Ash.
Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, Ash revealed a cunning smile. He then said, "Moreover, this time, there are two Immortal Spirit Fruits. We can give one to the Young Sect Master, as for the other one, we can divide among ourselves. Even if everyone is to get a tiny piece of the Immortal Spirit Fruit, our talent, physiques, and bloodlines will be greatly enhanced."
When everyone heard Ash's words again, they revealed greedy expressions on their faces. Their eyes flashed with hankering light when they thought of the Immortal Spirit Fruits.
"Alright, let's split into two groups now. Let's cross the river. Everyone should stay very careful. It'll be best if we don't attract the attention of the demonic beast at the depth of the Sky River!" Ash said.
When everyone heard this, their expressions became solemn. They nodded their heads and started preparing to cross the Sky River.
Alex was witnessing everything from a short distance away. He also heard everything they talked about. He looked at the Invisibility Talisman in his hand and then shifted his gaze to look at Ash and the others.
At this time, Ash and the others had divided into two groups. Both groups were ready to cross the Sky River from two different directions.
It was also the time when Alex used the Invisibility Talisman to become invisible and immediately sneaked into Ash's team.
Ash was afraid that Ben would be swallowed by the Demonic Beast together with him, so he let Ben enter the other team.
At this moment, Alex was standing beside Ash, but Ash didn't notice him at all.
The two groups looked at each other and in the next moment, they flew towards the opposite side of Sky River with a tacit understanding.
Alex followed closely behind Ash. He couldn't fly with his Innate Stage cultivation base, however, he had replicated a flying type skill and was using it to fly. While flying, he vigilantly looked at the turbulent Sky River below. He didn't know when the Demonic Beast would suddenly appear.
At the bottom of the Sky River, a pair of eyes suddenly opened. A cruel light flashed in its eyes, however, the next moment, it revealed a trace of fear as if it had sensed something extremely terrifying.
"Godfiend Phantom Poison! How can a person like him still be alive and moving even though he had been clearly poisoned with Godfiend Phantom Poison? This poison has already spread into every single cell of his body. He should have died a long time ago, but it seems something is suppressing the poison inside his body."
The demonic beast's eyes return to normal. It calmly observed Alex and muttered in its heart. This demonic beast was actually capable of talking like humans. If anyone would have heard the demonic beast's voice, they would have been shocked. Moreover, if Alex heard this, he would have definitely frozen on his spot because of extreme shock. After all, not only the demonic beast was able to sense the Godfiend Poison in his body, it was actually able to see Alex. It has to be known that Alex was currently invisible.
The demonic beast then turned its gaze and looked at a huge wound on its body. There were also eight chains binding him. Because of these chains, its cultivation was suppressed to Martial King Stage, and at the same time, although it could move anywhere in the river, it couldn't leave the river at all.
"The Godfiend Phantom Poison has no cure and it couldn't be suppressed by anything. Even the strongest being in the universe will die after three days of suffering if poisoned with Godfiend Phantom Poison. I wonder how this boy managed to suppress the poison inside his body. This is a miracle that has never happened in the history of the Universe."
"However, it has no cure. And without curing the poison, his cultivation will never exceed Spirit Origin Stage. But since he managed to suppress the most lethal poison like Godfiend Phantom Poison, could he create another miracle and completely cure the poison?"
A ferocious smile appeared on the demonic beast's eyes. A light shot out from its eyes and entered Alex's body. No one noticed this short event, not even Alex himself.
The demonic beast muttered: "Because of you boy, I'll let everyone pass the river for now. I've marked your body. If you can create a miracle and cure the Godfiend Phantom Poison suppressed inside your body, I'll immediately know. If you can really do this, it means you can also break my seal. At that time... Hahaha!"
.....
Both teams were very fast. The distance of three thousand meters was almost instantaneous. Even when they arrived at the opposite bank of Sky River, the legendary Demonic Beast did not appear.
Everyone gathered together and looked at Sky River. Each of them had a look of relief on their face.
"Could it be that the Demonic Beast is sleeping and did not notice us?" Ben said in surprise.
"It's possible, but it might have gone out." Ash also said his guess lightly.
"Anyway, we have hit the jackpot this time. Maybe it will be very smooth to take away the Immortal Spirit Fruits this time." Someone else said with a smile.
"I hope so."
Ash turned around and looked at a mountain peak that was shrouded in clouds in the distance. That was their target this time, the Immortal Spirit Tree was there!
.....
At the foot of the mountain, there was a secret place with sunlight on its back.
Ash and the others were looking at the top of the mountain and whispering to each other.
"There are about twenty demonic beasts here. They are all protecting the Immortal Spirit Tree. Most importantly, Immortal Spirit Fruits are being protected by a giant dragon. We have to be careful." Ash looked at the top of the mountain and continued to say: "I can handle three demonic beasts by myself. As for other demonic beasts, you guys have to take care of them."
After a round of discussion, they determined the number of demonic beasts each person would deal with. Everyone had confidence in their hearts. After that, they rushed towards the top of the mountain.
Alex was already invisible. Now that he has avoided living at the depth of the Sky River, he no longer needed to follow others. He directly flew to the top of the mountain at an extremely fast speed with the help of his flying-type skill.
Since he was invisible, no one can see him. So, he doesn't need to worry about attracting the attention of demonic beasts or dragons. He also doesn't need to fight them. He could simply go to the top of the mountain and steal the Immortal Spirit Fruits under the nose of demonic beasts, Guardian Dragon, and other people who are wasting their time fighting the demonic beasts.
Of course, there was also a limit to how long he could stay invisible. Every single second was precious. He has to complete the mission of stealing the Immortal Spirit fruits before the time of invisibility run out.
