Chapter 216 Bodhi Enlightenment Fruit
Above and around the entrance to the Five Elements Mountain Secret Realm, numerous enormous mirrors float, reflecting scenes from within the realm. These scenes are randomized, and the viewers who remain gaze at the images displayed in the mirrors, searching for familiar faces.
Seeing their senior or junior brothers and sisters makes them smile involuntarily, and seeing them in danger makes them anxious for them.
Xie Wan'er and Mulan were on the fairy ship, looking at the mirrors, searching for Gu Yan's whereabouts.
Suddenly, a figure dressed in white appeared on the largest mirror. The "girl" in white was as graceful as a painting, and everyone gasped in surprise at her appearance.
"Who is she?"
"The female disciple of the Palace of Heartless Love is named Lin Daiyu, I think."
"Why is her face covered? I really want to see what she looks like."
The female disciples of the Heartless Palace became excited upon seeing Gu Yan. Meanwhile, Lu Yan, a disciple of the Wood Spirit Hall, glared at Gu Yan with hatred. Lu Yan prayed that this damned Lin Daiyu would suffer a terrible fate soon.
Ordinary immortals can only see what's happening inside the secret realm through these mirrors, but those Great Luo Golden Immortals and Immortal Kings have other methods. They possess great supernatural powers and can see whomever they want.
Inside the palace of the Great Sun Golden Crow clan, Immortal King Chitian and his disciple Bai Xing gazed at the shimmering golden Xichi Pool, where Gu Yan's reflection shone. Bai Xing looked at his master with confusion. Why was his master looking at the female disciple of the Heartless Palace instead of his own clan members?
However, this female disciple from the Heartless Palace is indeed formidable. Judging from her performance at the Mountain God Temple, she is probably the biggest dark horse in this Five Elements Mountain Trial.
"Master, what's so special about the female disciples of the Heartless Palace?" Bai Xing asked.
"She has the bloodline of the Great Sun Golden Crow clan," Chitian said.
Bai Xing said, "So what?"
Within the Immortal Alliance, there are quite a few fellow cultivators with the bloodline of the Great Sun Golden Crow clan. The Great Sun Golden Crow clan does not often intermarry with other races, but they do not absolutely abstain from marriage. Over such a long period of time, the Immortal Alliance actually has many immortals with mixed bloodlines of the Great Sun Golden Crow clan.
"It reminds me of that descendant who suddenly disappeared more than two thousand years ago when he was undergoing the tribulation of immortality." Chitian stared at Gu Yan on the water's surface, his golden eyes unfathomable.
"Master, this female disciple of the Heartless Palace is already at the peak of the late Golden Immortal stage. Even if that descendant you care about is safe and sound, he can't possibly be at the Golden Immortal stage now, right?" Bai Xing felt that his master's guess was too absurd. He only succeeded in transcending the tribulation 2,500 years ago, and now he's at the peak of the late Golden Immortal stage? What a joke!
How could such a terrifying creature possibly exist?
Chitian thought about it and realized that his guess was a bit absurd.
Above the pool, Gu Yan, who had been flying at breakneck speed, stopped and stood in the sky. He looked ahead and saw that spiritual light was surging, sword energy was shooting wildly, precious light was raining down, and earth-shattering roars were incessant. There was a fight going on ahead.

In the secret realm.
In the void, an incomparably tall golden spirit tree emitted countless rays of golden light, and hanging from this tree was a golden fruit. The fruit's surface was uneven, covered with peculiar red totems, and it released an aura of immortal Dao. This fruit was called the Bodhi Enlightenment Fruit, an incomparably precious natural treasure.
This item was discovered simultaneously by Princess Tu Shan Jiao of the Heavenly Fox, Baili Changkong of the Sword Pavilion, and Ye Chen of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Bureau, and the three of them fiercely fought over it.
With a deafening roar, the sword energy that stretched for miles cleaved a mountain peak in two, splitting the sky in two.
Tu Shan Jiao was shrouded in pink mist, and a huge phantom of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox appeared behind her.
The nine-tailed celestial fox opened its mouth and spat out an incredibly thick red beam of light. The sword energy of that beam collided with the surrounding landscape, and the resulting shockwave destroyed nearby mountains. One after another, the peaks collapsed into sand and were leveled to the ground. The storm continued to spread in all directions, and the ground was torn up layer by layer.
In this clash, Baili Changkong and Tu Shanjiao were evenly matched, but they were quickly overwhelmed by Ye Chen's concentrated magical attacks. Tens of thousands of chariots suddenly surrounded the two, each chariot emitting a dazzling golden light, and the cannons on the chariots fired simultaneously, creating a deafening roar and terrifying flames.
Baili Changkong and Tu Shanjiao immediately abandoned their direct confrontation and turned their attention to Ye Chen. They joined forces to destroy Ye Chen's chariot and sent him flying. After that, the two of them started fighting again, but Ye Chen quickly returned, and the three of them ended up in a chaotic melee.
Both Baili Changkong and Tushan Jiao are late-stage Golden Immortals, and their strengths are roughly equal.
Ye Chen was at the peak of the mid-stage Golden Immortal realm. Although his cultivation level was slightly lower than theirs, as the future head of the Heavenly Crafting Palace, he possessed countless magical treasures. He casually tossed around these treasures, and neither Baili Changkong nor Tu Shanjiao could do anything to him. The three fought fiercely, creating increasingly exaggerated spatial rifts that constantly shifted the terrain.
In the void, the Bodhi Enlightenment Fruit still hangs on the spiritual tree rooted in the void, emitting golden light, waiting for someone to pick it.
Gu Yan spotted the alluring, golden Bodhi Enlightenment Fruit from afar, along with Tu Shanjiao, Baili Changkong, and Ye Chen. Seeing the three of them locked in a fierce battle, he realized it was the perfect opportunity to harvest the fruit. Concealing his presence, he flew towards the spirit tree.
Although Gu Yan concealed her presence well, she was still discovered the moment she picked the fruit.
Because once this fruit was picked, the entire spirit tree became dull and lifeless.
Tu Shanjiao, Ye Chen, and Baili Changkong all looked in this direction and saw Gu Yan standing in the tree with the fruit in his hand.
The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.
All three were enraged and said in unison:
"Put my fruit down!!"
How could Gu Yan possibly pay them any attention? Right in front of them, she stored herself in her Purple Mansion and then ran away. Seeing that Gu Yan was about to run away, Tu Shan Jiao, Ye Chen, and Baili Changkong immediately chased after her.
call out!
A cloud of pink mist blocked Gu Yan's view, and from the mist emerged the alluring Heavenly Fox Princess.
"This young lady is so beautiful, why is she becoming a thief?" Tu Shan Jiaojiao chuckled, taking steps in the air, her red eyes fixed on Gu Yan, two small golden runes appearing deep within her pupils. The moment these runes appeared, she seemed to become even more beautiful, breathtakingly so.
The Heavenly Fox Princess possessed superb seductive arts, but these arts had never been effective against Gu Yan. Before Tu Shan Jiao could get close, Gu Yan didn't hesitate to stab her with the Tai'a Sword.
Gu Yan's sword strike was incredibly fast. Tu Shan Jiao was forced to retreat violently, but he managed to cut off several strands of her hair, leaving a bloody mark on her fair and beautiful face.
Although the wound healed immediately, the Heavenly Fox Princess, whose face had been slashed, was immediately enraged.
"You dare to hurt my face—"
The Celestial Fox Dharma Image reappeared behind her, its nine fox tails sweeping terrifyingly towards Gu Yan.
