• Han Xuanji sensed a powerful, ancient surge of life energy in the forest ahead, with a quality similar to the Azure Origin Hongmeng Dao Fruit.

• Han Xuanji followed the celestial fluctuations to a valley where a seven-colored fruit tree stood among powerful Variants.
• Cultivators gathered around the tree and identified its seven fruits as the rare Seven-Colored Profound Origin Fruit, which could strengthen a cultivator breaking through to the Eternal True God Realm.
