Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

As for the remaining flesh of the Cold Ice Crocodile, it contained a lot of energy. After all, it was a Demonic Beast on the verge of reaching the Third Order, even a Bloodthirsty Jiao at the late phase of the Second Order could benefit greatly from consuming it.

He planned to collect it for his own Spirit Beasts to consume, hoping it would help them improve to some extent.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming used several storage bags to gather all of these items.

Afterward, Lin Tianming quickly tidied up the battlefield, erasing many signs of combat. However, the blood in the lake was not insignificant, and it had yet to blend fully with the rest of the water, so it remained somewhat conspicuous.

If given time, as the blood mixed thoroughly with the lake water, there would be no trace left.

In any case, he did everything he could; the rest would be erased only with time.

Having done that, Lin Tianming called over the Bloodthirsty Jiao and instructed it to keep watch as they went down to the bottom of the lake to collect the Fruit of Fortuity and the Creation Fruit Tree.

Seeing his actions, a somewhat recovered Hu Yuan was excited and seemed eager to proceed.

Seeing that, Lin Tianming chuckled, pointed to a spot in the lake, and said to Hu Yuan, "Daoist Hu, the treasure lies at the bottom of the lake!"

Hu Yuan, already expecting this, urged impatiently.

"Heh heh... to avoid a long night full of dreams, let's hurry down... hurry down..."

Hearing this, Lin Tianming didn't delay and spoke to Hu Yuan.

"Daoist Hu, the lake beneath us is very deep, and the water pressure is bound to be astonishing. We don't even know if we'll be able to reach the bottom and get the treasure!"

"But with the threat of the Demonic Beasts removed, you can give it a try. If it doesn't work out, come back to the surface and wait for a while. If I manage to obtain the treasure, I will still honor my promise and share with you a piece of the treasure!"

Hearing this, Hu Yuan thought it over. Lin Tianming seemed very sincere in his words, offering reassurance and not leaving him behind, but instead actively inviting him to join the search.

As for the certainty of obtaining the treasure, even Lin Tianming wasn't sure.

If even Lin Tianming couldn't do it, he likely wouldn't be able to reach the bottom either.

If Lin Tianming were to take the treasure for himself and falsely claim he hadn't reached the bottom, Hu Yuan wouldn't be able to verify it.

But if that were the case, he had no recourse.

Who could blame him for not being as skilled!

With insufficient strength, one could only be so passive, ultimately led by the nose without room for any thoughts.

However, after giving it some thought, Lin Tianming's character was quite reassuring.

During the great battle with the Cold Ice Crocodile, he could have completely abandoned him.

Why would he bother doing more now?

With these thoughts, Hu Yuan nodded at Lin Tianming and showed a grateful expression.

"Hmm... let's follow Daoist Lin's plan. If it doesn't work out, I'll have to rely on Daoist Lin!" Hu Yuan said with a sincere look and a bow.

Hearing this, Lin Tianming nodded, and without further delay, he leaped straight into the lake.

Seeing his movement, Hu Yuan, who was nearby, didn't hesitate and quickly followed Lin Tianming, splashing into the water from the same spot.

The two jumped into the lake, one after the other, Lin Tianming leading the way, surrounding himself with a ball of light created by his Spiritual Power.

Immediately afterward, his body began to dive rapidly.

In just a few breaths, he had descended hundreds of fathoms.

At that point, Lin Tianming, surrounded by the pitch-black water, found his Divine Sense restricted, able to reach out only a hundred or so fathoms, leaving him as blind as a bat.

Moreover, as the depth of the dive increased, the water pressure grew extraordinarily strong, making each step downward more difficult than when he had first dived in.

Anticipating such a response, Lin Tianming activated his Eye of Five Colors, instantly broadening his vision.

After his careful inspection, he found that the lake had a very peculiar terrain, large in area and incredibly deep, resembling a bucket.

And the Creation Fruit Tree that he coveted so much stood proudly within the fissures of rocks at the bottom of the lake, one thousand fathoms deep.

Such living conditions were not easily discovered by ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Probably only the Divine Sense of Golden Core Cultivators was strong enough to possibly detect it.

Or perhaps, it was only possible for someone like him with some rare artifacts to discover it by a fortuitous coincidence.

No wonder then that the creation fruit tree had remained undiscovered through several thousand years and dozens of explorations by the Three Great Sects of Wei Kingdom.

As the descent reached the depths of eight hundred fathoms, the pressure in the water grew even stronger, nearly squeezing the light shield of spiritual power to the point of breaking.

Besides, the immense pressure was actually penetrating the light shield, pressing against his body.

At this time, Lin Tianming continuously infused spiritual power to firmly stabilize the light shield.

Simultaneously, his blood circulated rapidly, and his skin slightly bulged all over his body, resisting the oppressive force of the water pressure.

Just then, Hu Yuan, who was a body's length behind him, transmitted his voice, indicating that the pressure of the water was too high, and he could no longer support it and had to return to the surface of the lake.

Indeed, just as he had expected, Hu Yuan could not withstand the pressure of the lake and gave up on exploring the bottom of the lake together.

Regarding this, Lin Tianming had done all that he could, fulfilling his duty.

As for Hu Yuan's own lack of strength, which prevented him from reaching the bottom of the lake to witness the elegance of the Fruit of Fortuity, he could not be blamed.

Understanding this, Lin replied with a transmission of his voice and then continued his descent.

With the continuous descent, the pressure of the lake water was indeed great, but his body was refined through the Dual Cultivation of Body and Law, and the spiritual power he had expended in the battle with the Cold Ice Crocodile was not too much.

Fortunately, he had retained some spiritual power; under the current oppressive force, he was still not troubled for the time being.

Another half quarter of an hour passed.

After a total of a quarter hour of descending, Lin Tianming finally arrived at the depth of the lake bed.

The water pressure here was very strong, but Lin Tianming's physique was astonishing, and he was basically unaffected in his freedom of movement.

At this time, he approached the Creation Fruit Tree, feeling elated while also sizing up this legendary treasure.

Looking around, the Creation Fruit Tree stood tall in the stone crevice on the lakebed; its trunk was silver-white, not very tall, just over a fathom, with sparse branches—merely three in total.

What was more peculiar was that these lone branches didn't bear even a single leaf.

Such a height of this tree, to the myriad of flowers, plants, and trees in the Cultivation World, was merely the height of a small grass.

However, in the Cultivation World, with the abundance of Spiritual Plants, it would be foolish to judge treasures merely by their size and appearance.

Knowing this, Lin Tianming naturally wouldn't judge by appearances but viewed it from top to bottom as if admiring a piece of exquisite workmanship.

During his inspection, he quickly saw a fruit hanging on each of the three branches.

The fruits were silver-yellow in color, completely lustrous and translucent, and despite the spiritual power light shield and the pitch-black lake water, he could still smell a unique fragrance wafting towards him.

Merely catching a whiff of it made him feel refreshed, his blood and qi boiling involuntarily within him.

At this moment, Lin Tianming looked at the creation fruits close at hand, his face becoming flushed and his breathing starting to quicken.

Even his hands, excited, could not help trembling slightly.

This was the true form of the Creation Fruit and its tree!

This Creation Fruit, valuable beyond measure, was the treasure that every Foundation Establishment Cultivator dreamed of obtaining.

Even for the Three Great Sects of Wei Kingdom, with their legacies spanning thousands, or even tens of thousands of years, such Nascent Soul Spiritual Items like the Creation Fruit were extremely rare.

In the Cultivation World, there were many items that could aid in Core Formation, and among the numerous artifacts, the Creation Fruit was one of the best.

According to the legends in the Cultivation World, among the known Nascent Soul Spiritual Items, aside from the Golden Core Pill concocted from a multitude of precious Spiritual Medicines, there were no better items for Core Formation than the Creation Fruit.

Ever since Lin Tianming entered the Tianfeng Secret Realm, he had been searching arduously for more than half a year, braving who knows how many risks.

Finally, he was lucky, having found a Nascent Soul Spiritual Item like the Creation Fruit.
