2491 Earth’s Sacred Fruit!
When Lin Yuan heard what Lhalu said, he immediately looked interested. Clearly, what Lhalu was about to say was related to one of the subterranean world’s key secrets.
“Oh? If it is really a piece of important news, I will make sure that you are well compensated. You don’t have to be certain of the accuracy of your information, but you have to take responsibility for its truth! I’m sure you understand what I’m getting at.”
Lin Yuan’s words caused Sweet Vanquish, Ice Forest, and Evening Crystal to realize that Lin Yuan was very reasonable.
Unlike Hollow Earth, Mountain Furrow, and Rock Underworld, Lin Yuan did not require his subordinates’ reports be fully accurate. After all, some pieces of information were only rumors they had come across and could not be verified.
Because of what Lin Yuan said, they did not have to be overly anxious when giving their reports in the future.
Regardless of how brave Lhalu was, he would not dare to make up news after he had sworn on his source totem to become loyal to Lin Yuan.
Back in the Earth Ancestral Palace, Lhalu took advantage of his status and managed to uncover more information than the other attendants.
“There are a total of three treasures in the Earth Ancestral Palace. The first is called the Ten Thousand River Rock Willow, the second is the Earth’s Sacred Fruit, and the last is called the Mine-Birthing Well.
“The Ten Thousand River Rock Willow’s roots are very thin and can locate the distribution of almost all the mineral veins in the subterranean world from the Earth Ancestral Palace. The Mine-Birthing Well will supply energy to the ground every once in a while. Each time it does so, the Ten Thousand River Rock Willow will discover a few more mineral veins. The Mine-Birthing Well is the reason the mineral veins of the subterranean world have not gone dry after being tapped into so many times.
“However, the energy Mine-Birthing Well injects into the ground must come from somewhere. The more hearts of mineral veins are placed inside the Mine-Birthing Well, the more energy it can produce.
“Many of the hearts of mineral veins I found using my Vein Land Imp bloodline were placed in the Mine-Birthing Well by the three. The three figures did not place the hearts of mineral veins in the Mine-Birthing Well instead of using them for themselves because they want to develop the subterranean world but because they want to enable the Earth’s Sacred Fruit to ripen.
“It’s said that whoever consumes the Earth’s Sacred Fruit will be able to surpass the Samsara Realm! I can’t be certain of the truth of this information, but the three figures are certain of it! The Earth’s Sacred Fruit will not only ripen by consuming minerals but also creatures that consume minerals.
“The Earth’s Sacred Fruit is a fruit that grows from a stalk. It is my understanding that trying to enable it to ripen by only feeding it minerals will take at least 20,000 to 30,000 years. The three of them can’t wait until then. However, these are all my guesses. I can’t say for sure if they’re right. But I have seen all three treasures myself, so I can vouch for their existence. They are located below the Earth Ancestral Palace.”
Lin Yuan had already realized that every dimensional world had something uniquely special about them, so it was unsurprising that the subterranean world was no exception.
The Ten Thousand River Rock Willow, Mine-Birthing Well, and Earth’s Sacred Fruit were all top treasures.
The Mine-Birthing Well’s existence allowed a world to have an endless supply of mineral veins. As a result, the world’s resources would never run out.
If it was brought into the main world, humans would never have to worry that they would eventually use up all of the natural resources.
If the Earth’s Sacred Fruit was truly as Lhalu described, it could reach the entire subterranean world.
The most powerful experts in the subterranean world were pinnacle Samsara Realm Dictators. This level had been the obstacle that blocked the development of the subterranean world’s lifeforms for a long time.
If there was another figure like the Abyss Great Emperor in the subterranean world, Lhalu, Sweet Vanquish, and the other Samsara Realm Dictators would have heard about it.
The Earth’s Sacred Fruit could create two Afterlife Realm experts after it became ripe.
If this information was false, the three pinnacle Samsara Realm Dictators would be considered to have gone mad. But if it was true, would the lifeform that was above clearly above the level of all other subterranean world lifeforms be willing to allow itself to be consumed without putting up a fight?
Given the Earth’s Sacred Fruit’s life rank, it had to possess intelligence.
The only ones that could interact with the Earth’s Sacred Fruit were Hollow Earth, Rock Underworld, and Mountain Furrow.
The three of them were either on hostile terms with the Earth’s Sacred Fruit or were its puppets being controlled using unknown means.
In actuality, the top of the pyramid of the Earth Ancestral Palace was the Earth’s Sacred Fruit that was anxious to be ripened.
After this idea popped into Lin Yuan’s head, he suddenly felt that the subterranean world was not as weak as he had originally thought.
It was said that the true hunters acted as prey.
Sweet Vanquish had coincidentally overheard Hollow Earth mention the Ten Thousand River Rock Willow. Lhalu now verified its existence.
Thus, there was a high chance that Lhalu’s guesses were right.
“We should be arriving at the Earth Ancestral Palace soon. If what you’ve said about the Ten Thousand River Rock Willow, Earth’s Sacred Fruit, and Mine-Birthing Well turn out to be true, you can use the items in the box however you please!”
After receiving the box that Lin Yuan had tossed to him, Lhalu noticed that it contained ten of the same pearls Lin Yuan had previously given to Sweet Vanquish.
After sensing the pure earth-elemental energy, Lhalu was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Lin Yuan. “Thank you for your reward! If I am lying and those three treasures don’t actually exist in the Earth Ancestral Palace, I will let Sweet Vanquish bring you my source totem and this brocade box!”
Lhalu was making a promise on his life.
Ice Forest, Evening Crystal, and Sweet Vanquish looked at each other.
This was the first time they heard about the Earth’s Sacred Fruit.
This was also the first time they learned that despite reaching the Samsara Realm, there was so much about the subterranean world that they did not know!
The three of them were also glad they could receive Lin Yuan’s protection now that they were his subordinates.
Otherwise, if Lhalu’s speculation came true and two of the three Samsara Realm Dictators from the Earth Ancestral Palace reached the Afterlife Realm after consuming the Earth’s Sacred Fruit, there was no way that the four of them would be allowed to continue living!
The four of them could find a place in the subterranean world to hide if they were still only at the pinnacle Samsara Realm level.
They had sensed the power beyond the Samsara Realm from the Abyss Great Emperor. In the face of such power, they seemed like ants that could be crushed with ease.
Given Ice Forest, Evening Crystal, and Sweet Vanquish’s understanding of the three figures, they might want to sacrifice the Turning Wheel Realm Dictators to increase their powers.
However, there were only two Earth’s Sacred Fruits. How were the three of them going to split it? There was no way to satisfy everyone!
