Chapter 78: 78
Although Zhou Yuan remained expressionless after hearing Qi Hao’s words, intense killing intent emerged within the former’s eyes . The Jade Spirit Fruit was connected to the matter of his mother’s lifespan . He would not let anyone snatch it away no matter what methods he had to use .
It was at this moment that Wei Canglan suddenly remarked, “Your highness, there is something strange about this lake . ”
Zhou Yuan withdrew his gaze . He had similarly sensed that something was amiss . So many people had arrived here before them, but all of them only waited at the lakeside, not daring to enter the lake and seize the Jade Infant Fruit . It was obvious that they were afraid of something .
Yaoyao cast a glance at the air above the lake and said, “There is a damaged Genesis Rune boundary above the lake . ”
Wei Canglan nodded in agreement . The damaged Genesis Rune boundary made even someone like himself feel threatened, and he did not dare to carelessly enter . This place was evidently rather important to the Battle Puppet Sect .
“Can we cross by walking across the water?” Asked Zhou Yuan .
Yaoyao shook her head . “There is something strange about the water . It seems that the stronger one’s Genesis Qi, the more easily one will sink…”
Wei Canglan was a little taken aback . He quickly waved his hand, indicating for some of his men to confirm . Sure enough, they discovered that those with stronger Genesis Qi would sink more easily, as if the lakewater was unable to support them .
“It will be difficult for even a Qi Nourishing stage expert to walk across the water . ” Wei Canglan frowned . If so, won’t an Alpha-Origin stage expert like himself sink straight to the bottom?
He could feel danger from the bottom of the lake . It was highly likely that portions of the damaged Genesis Rune boundary had fallen into the lake, making it extremely dangerous .
Yaoyao’s mouth opened slightly as she said, “It seems that this place does not welcome Genesis Qi users… likely a precautionary method of sorts . With such a precaution in place, they would only need a few disciples to protect the Jade Infant Tree . ”
Su Youwei curiously asked, “How would one cross the water without Genesis Qi?”
Zhou Yuan’s eyes flickered in thought for a moment, before turning to meet Yaoyao’s gaze as he slowly said, “Spirit . ”
Spirit power was completely different from Genesis Qi . Moreover, Zhou Yuan had discovered that the Spirit that had originally been suppressed in the fog had turned lively again after reaching the lake .
“Let me try . ” Zhou Yuan walked forward and placed a foot onto the water, the Spirit between his brows flickering as Spirit power surged out and covered his legs . The body that had originally sunk slightly into the water immediately stabilized .
“As expected, the power of the Spirit can be used here . ” A look of glee flitted across Zhou Yuan’s eyes .
“So you have to rely on the Spirit…”
Nearby, Qi Hao raised an eyebrow as he watched . Soon after, he waved his hand and a man immediately walked forward from behind .
This man’s complexion was rather pale, and his lips were as thin as the edge of a blade . The Genesis Qi undulations around him were quite weak, but light flickered indeterminately between his brows .
He was clearly a Spirit practitioner .
“Zhao Qingfeng, your teacher master Ying was framed by this brat, causing him to fall into the hands of the great general’s faction . This is the best opportunity for you to take revenge . ” Qi Hao smiled at the man .
Iciness flashed in the pale man’s eyes when he heard this . He looked towards Zhou Yuan and said, “How can a kid like him possibly be my master’s match?”
“He is after all the prince of Great Zhou and naturally has his ways . ” Qi Hao smiled faintly as he continued, “As long as you are able to seize the Jade Infant Fruit, not only will I guarantee your master’s safety, you will become a valued guest of Qi Manor in future and we will provide you all of the cultivation resources you need . ”
Desire flashed in the eyes of the man called Zhao Qingfeng as he nodded and said with a cold smile, “Don’t worry, if we compete in Spirit, dealing with him will not be difficult . ”
His tone was filled with pride . Though he had only trained under master Ying for three years, his Spirit had already reached the mid Illusory stage, and even his master often praised his talent . Thus, he did not believe that a much younger Zhou Yuan would be able to match him in Spirit .
After leaving these words behind, Zhao Qingfeng flew forward and landed on the water .
Spirit power shook as his sole touched the water’s surface without sinking .
A mocking smile formed on his lips as he looked towards Zhou Yuan .
While the two stood on the water, the other factions also came to the same realization . Hence, after some activity, another dozen figures appeared on the surface of the water, each individual clearly a Spirit practitioner .
Wei Canglan shot a look in Zhao Qingfeng’s direction and remarked, “That person’s Spirit is not weak . ”
“If only Spirit can be used here, I may be able to help you . ” Yaoyao’s bright eyes seem to swirl . Given her Spirit level, no one here would be able to contend with her .
