Buzhou Immortal Mountain, Ginseng Fruit Tree!

Bam!

The ferocious Primordial World beast was utterly feeble in Xie Fang's hands. With his current cultivation at the late stage of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, and possessing the foundation of the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler itself, there were likely fewer than five beings in all the Primordial World who could overpower him.

"Ding, congratulations to host for killing the Three-Eyed Demonic Wolf. Experience Points +500."

Hearing the system notification, Xie Fang couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Most of the beasts in this area can no longer satisfy my leveling needs. Advancing from late Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal to Quasi-Saint requires hundreds of billions of Experience Points, and I'll also need an Innate Treasure to sever a corpse."

After pondering for a moment, Xie Fang decided to leave this region.

Thousands of years of relentless slaughter had nearly wiped out every beast in this area. But as his cultivation level grew, these creatures could no longer provide the Experience Points he needed to advance.

If he kept hiding here and grinding away, it would be pointless. Instead, he might as well take in the magnificent landscapes of the Primordial World!

Besides, the Primordial World was filled with countless treasures!

The most famous of all was Buzhou Mountain!

From what Xie Fang remembered, Buzhou Mountain was home to countless heavenly materials and earth-shattering opportunities, including an Innate Gourd Vine!

This Innate Gourd Vine ranked among the top ten Innate Spiritual Roots. Born on Buzhou Mountain, it bore seven Innate Gourds.

Any one of those seven gourds alone would be enough to make anyone's mouth water. Now that he had the chance and the time, of course he had to see if he could claim those treasures first!

With that thought, Xie Fang didn't hesitate. He activated his divine ability, and with a single thought, space tore open. One step carried him hundreds of millions of miles away!

At the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level, one could freely roam ten thousand miles of void. With his late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation, Xie Fang had grown increasingly adept at traversing the void.

But the Primordial World was boundless and endless. Even with Xie Fang's late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation, it would likely take over a thousand years just to reach Buzhou Mountain!

Xie Fang wasn't in a hurry. His purpose in entering the Primordial World was not only to seek treasures and raise his cultivation but also to experience the Primordial World itself. This journey was essentially a sightseeing tour.

Along the way, whenever he spotted a beast worth his attention, he would simply split it in half with his ruler, turning it into Experience Points.

As for those with weaker cultivation, they weren't even worthy of Xie Fang making a move!

One day, Xie Fang felt a sudden sensation. He looked up and saw two beasts locked in battle!

One of them was covered in spikes, with a single horn on its head and a mouth full of fangs—hideous and ferocious!

Fighting against it was a burly Demonic Ape.

Both beasts were at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level. Their clash shattered mountains, broke rivers, and twisted time and space!

"Two Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal beasts—hard to come by. Looks like I've caught them red-handed..."

Xie Fang smiled faintly, then raised his hand. A golden ruler shadow materialized in his grasp. As Mysterious Yellow Qi poured into it, a killing aura shook the heavens!

His actions immediately drew the attention of both beasts.

"Roar—"

With a sky-shaking roar, the burly Demonic Ape fixed its vicious gaze on Xie Fang. His move had been a grave provocation!

Xie Fang didn't waste words. He swung the ruler shadow directly!

With his late-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation and the supreme killing power of Primordial Force, one strike split the earth apart, carving a deep chasm along the path of his aura!

The Demonic Ape slammed its fists into the ground and roared as it charged at Xie Fang. But before it could act, the ruler shadow crossed the sky and was already upon it!

Ch—

With a dull sound, a cold and pleasing system notification rang in Xie Fang's mind.

"Ding, congratulations to host for killing the Demonic Ape. Experience Points +380,000."

The beast that had been fighting the Demonic Ape was completely stunned!

What just happened? The Demonic Ape, which had been fighting evenly with it just moments ago, was killed in the blink of an eye?

But its shock didn't last long. A moment later, Xie Fang struck again, and another batch of Experience Points rolled in!

"Ding, congratulations to host for killing the Unicorn Rhinoceros. Experience Points +378,000."

Along the way, Xie Fang traveled at a leisurely pace.

Two thousand years later, he finally caught a glimpse of a towering mountain range that stood between heaven and earth, piercing into the clouds.

Buzhou Mountain!

"Hm?"

Just as Xie Fang was about to head toward Buzhou Mountain, he suddenly sensed a ripple of formation energy not far away, fleeting but unmistakable.

"Could there be a treasure?!"

Xie Fang stopped immediately. The cultivation system in the Primordial World was still immature, and most formations were born innately.

Within such innate formations, there was a high probability of a precious treasure!

With his current cultivation, refining such an innate formation was much easier than before. But at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level, he could already tear through space, so there was no need to go through all that trouble.

He simply tore open space and stepped directly into the formation!

"Hm? Why does it smell so good inside this formation?"

As soon as Xie Fang stepped into the formation, a fragrant breeze assailed his nose; one whiff left him refreshed and clear-minded.

At the same time, Xie Fang discovered that his Primordial Spirit had actually condensed somewhat from that single breath of fragrance.

"There must be something heaven-defying inside the formation!"

Xie Fang grew even more certain that the treasure within this formation was bound to be formidable.

Without delay, he followed the source of the fragrance to seek it out. In a secluded valley, a fruit tree silently emanated dense Spiritual Qi and a heart-soothing aroma.

The tree stood several zhang tall, its branches laden with fruits the size of fists.

These fruits were six or seven cun in size, shaped like infants. When Xie Fang saw them, the fruits actually smiled at him.

"Giggle giggle giggle—"

A silvery laugh rang out, and Xie Fang's heart stirred abruptly.

Dry leaves, red stems; on the branches always grow infants, six or seven cun long. They laugh when they see people, moving their hands and feet, their heads attached to the branches. If you pick one, the infant dies.

That passage suddenly surfaced in his mind. At this point, how could he not guess what kind of tree this was!

The Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Ginseng Fruit, also known as Grass-Returned Elixir, blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and takes another three thousand years to ripen.

Only after nine thousand years can it yield thirty fruits. Their shape resembles a child less than three months old, with complete limbs and features.

If a fated person merely smells it, they can live three hundred and sixty years; eating one grants longevity of forty-six thousand years!

Most importantly, this item ranks among the ten Innate Spiritual Roots!

"Before I've even set foot on Buzhou Mountain, I run into an Innate Spiritual Root—my luck is just too good?"

Xie Fang wasted no more thought and stepped forward, intending to take both the Ginseng Fruit and the entire tree. But just then, he suddenly noticed a scroll lying scattered beside the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Three large characters were clearly engraved upon it.
