Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, many people showed regret.
How could they not understand the hidden meaning in Jun Xiaoyao's words?
Even the most thick-skinned person would be too embarrassed to continue following.
What's more, Jun Xiaoyao had displayed formidable combat power.
If they were to shamelessly cling on and displease Jun Xiaoyao, they might not be able to withstand a single palm strike from him.
Therefore, many people cupped their hands slightly to Jun Xiaoyao in thanks, then awkwardly departed.
Of course, not everyone left.
Luo Luo, Huang Qing'er, Hao Ren, and Sword Wanjué naturally continued to follow Jun Xiaoyao.
Wu De also chuckled, grinning playfully, and did not move.
And Cai Shiyun bit her red lip slightly.
After all, she was a woman, and her Face was thin.
But seeing that Wu De remained, she felt that her relationship with Jun Xiaoyao was surely more familiar than Wu De's.
So Cai Shiyun also stood silently beside Jun Xiaoyao, her pretty Face slightly flushed.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't mind; he wasn't entirely unfamiliar with Cai Shiyun and Wu De.
What's more, he planned to incorporate these Source Arts Families later, and these two were individuals he needed to win over.
As for Qingyun Holy Child and Baiyue Holy Maiden, although they also wanted to follow Jun Xiaoyao, their relationship with him was clearly incomparable to that of Wu De and Cai Shiyun.
So they could only cup their hands and leave.
Subsequently, Jun Xiaoyao and the others continued their advance.
They seemed to have already passed through the areas with dense Yin Qi, so they didn't encounter many Yin soldiers.
However, the various ancient broken formations in this place became increasingly terrifying.
A single misstep could lead to death.
Even Wu De and Cai Shiyun, using their respective Family's Source Arts, sometimes found it difficult to fully discern them.
They still relied on Jun Xiaoyao to find a safe Dao.
Not long after, Jun Xiaoyao sensed the fluctuation of a spiritual object ahead.
As everyone advanced, the space ahead gradually widened.
It was, surprisingly, an underground space.
And in the distance, a cluster of plants was astonishingly growing within a type of metal.
This was quite unbelievable.
One must know that plants generally root themselves in soil.
However, that silver plant was growing on a peculiar metal.
The metal was also silvery-white, its surface covered with natural lightning patterns, with electric sparks occasionally shooting out.
"That is…"
Wu De looked at the silver fruits growing on the silver plant.
The silver fruits were the size of cherries, and their surfaces also bore natural lightning patterns.
Wu De's eyes gleamed with excitement, and he couldn't help but exclaim with a trembling voice, "Tribulation-Crossing Fruit, it's actually a Tribulation-Crossing Fruit!"
Hearing Wu De's words, the others also showed expressions of surprise and delight.
The Tribulation-Crossing Fruit, as its name suggests, offers some assistance during Undergoing Tribulation.
This type of fruit naturally contains Lightning Law and Dao essence, and it roots itself in metal imbued with lightning attributes.
If a Cultivator refines it during Undergoing Tribulation, it can help them resist and dissolve the Lightning Tribulation.
If that were all, the Tribulation-Crossing Fruit would only be considered decent, not enough to excite Wu De and the others to this extent.
However, the most Heaven-Defying effect of the Tribulation-Crossing Fruit is that it can greatly assist in Undergoing Tribulation, even for a Quasi-Emperor Tribulation, let alone a regular one!
The Quasi-Emperor Tribulation is extremely perilous; even the most Prodigy Cultivators, only one in ten thousand can pass through it.
Therefore, some Cultivators make various preparations before Undergoing a Quasi-Emperor Tribulation.
This Tribulation-Crossing Fruit, let alone for a Chaos Dao Venerable preparing to Undergo a Quasi-Emperor Tribulation, holds immense appeal even for a Quasi-Emperor.
Because even upon reaching the Quasi-Emperor Realm, one still needs to pass through nine tribulations.
Each tribulation is extremely dangerous, and it's not to say that after passing one, subsequent tribulations will be without peril.
The nine tribulations of a Quasi-Emperor, where each tribulation represents a new Heaven, are not empty words.
From this, one can imagine how precious this Tribulation-Crossing Fruit is.
Chaos Dao Venerable and Quasi-Emperors would both be fervent about this Tribulation-Crossing Fruit.
Although there weren't many Tribulation-Crossing Fruits on that silver plant, there were still quite a few scattered about.
This was definitely a major Opportunity.
However, unlike the fervent gazes of Wu De and the others, Jun Xiaoyao's expression was quite indifferent upon seeing the Tribulation-Crossing Fruit.
This item, to others, was a supreme treasure for Undergoing Tribulation.
But to him, it was somewhat useless.
Because Jun Xiaoyao simply had no fear of Heavenly Tribulation.
In fact, he was even willing to attract stronger Heavenly Tribulations.
Because this could temper his Physical Body to be even more perfect.
Therefore, this Tribulation-Crossing Fruit, for Jun Xiaoyao, was not only useless but even an unnecessary addition.
However, while this item was useless to Jun Xiaoyao, he could bestow it upon others.
Not everyone could treat Undergoing Tribulation like a game, as Jun Xiaoyao did.
So, Jun Xiaoyao was also prepared to collect it.
But just at this moment.
From another passage, a voice filled with extreme surprise rang out.
"Haha, it's actually a Tribulation-Crossing Fruit, my luck is indeed not bad!"
As the voice fell, a group of people emerged from that passage.
Leading them was none other than King Xu, a general of the Earth Emperor Palace!
He was one of the five Saint Kings of the Earth Emperor Palace, a True Disciple under Saint King Tiankui, and his cultivation was formidable.
As for Zong Hong and Jiang Yi, they had not appeared.
Evidently, after delving deep into the West Mausoleum Divine Mine, they had also gone to seek their own Opportunities.
As for the others, although their strength was not as great as King Xu's, they were all elite figures of the Earth Emperor Palace.
"I never expected such a supreme treasure to be found within the West Mausoleum Divine Mine!"
King Xu's gaze towards the Tribulation-Crossing Fruit was fervent, even blazing.
The reason was simple.
Top-tier generals of the Earth Emperor Palace like King Xu mostly had cultivation in the Chaos Dao Venerable Realm.
They were not far from the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
The appeal of this Tribulation-Crossing Fruit to them was immense.
In fact, if a Half-Immortal Medicine and a Tribulation-Crossing Fruit were placed before them, they might even choose the Tribulation-Crossing Fruit.
Because refining a Half-Immortal Medicine might not necessarily help them pass the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation.
But the Tribulation-Crossing Fruit offered great assistance for them to Undergo the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation.
After seeing the Tribulation-Crossing Fruit, King Xu's gaze then noticed Jun Xiaoyao and the others on the other side.
Seeing Jun Xiaoyao, King Xu's Face revealed a playful expression.
"This is truly interesting; it seems my gains today won't be small."
King Xu's implied meaning was clearly that he had also set his sights on Jun Xiaoyao's incomplete Immortal Root.
"What do you mean? Don't you know the principle of first come, first served?"
Seeing that King Xu seemed to be targeting Jun Xiaoyao, Sword Wanjué spoke directly.
"First come, first served, haha, for my Earth Emperor Palace, the words of my Earth Emperor Palace are the rules!"
King Xu laughed loudly, clearly in a very good mood.
He had already considered the Tribulation-Crossing Fruit and the incomplete Immortal Root as his own possessions.
"Kid, no more nonsense, hand over the incomplete Immortal Root, and you can scram."
King Xu waved his hand.
Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly and sighed.
He had seen people seeking death, but never anyone seeking it so blatantly.
And Wu De, Cai Shiyun, and the others looked at King Xu with sympathy, as if looking at an idiot.
After all, they had just witnessed Jun Xiaoyao's true strength.
Jun Xiaoyao naturally wouldn't waste any more words with King Xu.
He directly pressed a palm towards King Xu, divine Laws surging, and chains of order interweaving in the Void Realm.
A vast and surging power, like a boundless ocean, surged towards King Xu to suppress and kill him!
Feeling this astonishing divine energy, King Xu's expression instantly changed drastically!
