Zhang Tie had never seen such radiant, sacred light on any fruit.
This light did not even require Zhang Tie to touch the fruit. The moment he stepped onto the stairs beneath Little Tree, its radiance shone upon him, leaving his heart empty and clear. His entire body, will, and spirit seemed to be receiving the holiest of baptisms, beginning to resonate strangely with that fruit. A pure joy that came from nowhere filled Zhang Tie's chest.
Within that joy, every negative emotion and thought in Zhang Tie's heart vanished without a trace. Even the bitterness brought by the lingering effects of discovering outside that the Blood Sacrifice Furnace could not resolve the Thunder of Annihilation disappeared completely.
At this moment, if Zhang Tie's heart was an ocean, then joy was the seawater within it; if his heart was the sky, then joy was the sky's boundless embrace.
This joy surpassed the greatest pleasure the body's senses could bring. Its wonder was simply beyond words.
Zhang Tie had never imagined that a single fruit could shake him so profoundly.
With three parts reverence, three parts awe, and four parts anticipation, Zhang Tie climbed the stairs, came before the fruit that bloomed with sacred radiance, and reached out his hand.
Compared with the fruits of all shapes on Little Tree, this fruit's form was plain and unadorned—a complete golden sphere, the size of a fist. Only its surface was covered in strange patterns. Those strange patterns seemed to contain some mysterious power; staring at them closely gave one the feeling that they could draw one's mind completely inside.
Zhang Tie slowly extended his hand.
