Chapter 2844
“I have no idea where that old man is, I don’t know anything and haven’t heard anything…” The bull looked around once more and played dumb before instantly running away .
Li Qiye smiled while looking at the fleeing bull . He put Repentance on his back and said: “Let’s go check out the supreme fruits . ”
“The supreme fruits!” The young ones became startled with their eyes lit up .
“Well, we’re here already right? As long as we don’t waste too much time on it . ” Li Qiye added .
“Yes, it’s not a bad idea to try to pick some for a taste . ” Du Wenrui smiled .
“ . . . ” The young ones became frozen . They didn’t even dare to think about the eighth and ninth-ranked fruits, let alone the supreme ones .
Remember, supreme fruits were meant for True Emperors and Everlastings . Moreover, the low-level emperors couldn’t necessarily pick them .
A general belief stated that one must be a six-palace emperor and up . As for the realm of True God, Eternals needed to rely on luck . Only Everlastings had a good chance .
The young ones knew that they had no chance due to their current cultivation level .
“Dean, you’re talking about yourself? You’re gonna pick enough so that we can all have a try?” Li Qiye looked at him with amusement in his eyes .
All eyes turned towards Du Wenrui . It seemed that he was the strongest among them in terms of cultivation and had the best shot .
“Ahem . ” Wenrui cleared his throat and said: “I’m only an insignificant cultivator whose old bones are too feeble to try anything . I’ll just be watching from below, but Student Li is young and talented, I’m sure he’ll be able to pick a few for everyone to try . ”
“Dean, in my opinion, you’re still young and vigorous, this is your prime so it won’t be hard for you to climb up to the top of the tree . ” Li Qiye smiled .
“Way, way too old for that . ” Wenrui’s head shrank back into his neck and refused: “It’s really up to you because you have the Sword of Repentance, the symbol of authority of our academy . I’m sure you can do it . ”
Now the youths started staring at Li Qiye, thinking that the dean was making a lot of sense .
Li Qiye was able to take the sword out of their city, meaning that he has been chosen by the sword and perhaps even the progenitor .
Moreover, they saw him picked an eighth-ranked fruit and even dug out a ninth-ranked one . Perhaps he would be able to get some supreme fruits with the help of the sword .
“Junior Brother, I think you should give it a shot . Maybe you’ll set a new precedence for our institution with the help of Repentance . It’s whatever if you can’t get it anyway, it’s fine to just take a look . ” Zhou Qiushi said .
The other students nodded, agreeing with this comment . They didn’t necessarily expect success since that would be a miracle .
Du Wenrui smiled and led the group towards the supreme tree . He wouldn’t be surprised at whatever happens next because he already had a solid expectation .
The supreme tree resided in the deepest location of the orchard . One didn’t necessarily need to go here so a few avoided this area and moved on to Beast Garden instead .
The reason for avoidance was because this was the strongest tree here and the only one of its kind, true to its name .
This area had the highest concentration of light power in the entire orchard . Moreover, this ultimate tree itself wielded immense power, capable of oppressing everything in its territory .
Thus, any visitor would be subjected to its pressure along with the influence of the light . This wasn’t a pleasant sensation for many thus they chose to avoid it instead .
One could see this tree while standing from very far away as long as they had a high vantage point . It looked like a peak piercing through the clouds into the deepest crevice of the sky . Naturally, there were celestial bodies orbiting around it .
Upon closer inspection, the first-time visitors would realize that this peak was actually a tree despite the mountainous semblance .
The name of this tree was Supreme . Its height was truly outrageous with extremely thick branches . They looked like mountain ranges shooting out of a larger, vertical one .
It blotted this farthest area like an umbrella . Other peaks and rivers existed under its shadow . It seemed to be the lord of the orchard, the ultimate existence here .
Faraway spectators would also sense its boundless aura indicating the preciousness of this land . They would feel the urge to kowtow, treating it like a deity .
Most importantly, they would be able to see the light oozing out of the ground . There seemed to be a spring beneath releasing this particular affinity .
This should be a paradise for the natives of the academy system . One could relax and forget about their troubles . They would no longer want to return to the outside world .
Yes, this seemed like a perfect scenario if one actually wanted to stay here . Most would be affected and converted, eventually staying and dying here .
Let’s put the tree aside for the moment . The power of light here also attempted to wash the visitors’ dao heart and suppress their cultivation . Failing this test would result in being converted by the light .
Nothing was absolute in this world; good and bad co-existed in one way or another .
The nature of being tested by the light also yielded positive results - a training of the dao heart . Of course, one needed to be confident in their dao heart, soul, and cultivation before trying .
Thus, many students who came from other systems arrived with this goal in mind, wanting to use this suppressive energy of the light and the tree for self-improvement .
Academy of Light had a large number of students hailing from the other systems . They were usually big shots, such as the successor or already a True Emperor .
For example, Goldtypha True Emperor wasn’t a native of the academy . People like him loved going to the tree since they were strong enough to meditate in this place .
Moreover, getting a precious supreme fruit and absorbing its power was beneficial as well, even for emperors .
This also showed the generosity of the academy . Normally, a sacred fruit like this would be off-limits to outsiders . This wasn’t the case here, resulting in True Emperors and Everlastings becoming students here .
Violet Dragon Empress, Metalkin War God, Brightking Buddha - these were the top characters of Immortal Lineage . Nevertheless, they still became students at the academy .
This unmatched generosity and open-mindedness were another reason why Desolate Saint was considered to be one of the most brilliant progenitors in history .
