Outside the forest of the ore vein! The Fire Crystal Ape King's ferocious aura erupted to its peak. Its ape eyes were filled with crimson killing intent, and its terrifying giant fist locked onto Lin Yun, carrying a shocking amount of Origin Power, clearly intending to blast him apart in one go.
Lin Yun's eyes stared at the giant fist rapidly approaching him, without the slightest movement to dodge.
"Even just using your physique, you're too weak!"
As the low voice fell, Lin Yun threw a punch. Origin Power condensed on his fist, and his dark golden body shone brightly.
*"Boom!"*
The two fists collided. In the Fire Crystal Ape King's huge ape eyes, a look of terror instantly appeared.
Its massive fist, upon hitting Lin Yun's fist, was instantly and severely pierced through, as if it were a wooden board being penetrated by a nail.
Seeing this, the Fire Crystal Ape King endured the pain and let out a mournful cry, quickly retreating.
"Get down!" Without giving the opponent time to hesitate, Lin Yun quickly flashed in front of the Fire Crystal Ape King, swung his fist again, and heavily struck the Fire Crystal Ape King's huge head.
*"Bang!"*
The Fire Crystal Ape King's huge head exploded.
Its massive body crashed to the ground.
Lin Yun clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Done!"
Seeing such a scene, Yuan Fang behind him couldn't help but gasp, "This person's physique is actually this strong?"
"He truly lives up to being the Sect Leader's closed-door disciple."
The others, having witnessed Lin Yun kill forty demon beasts with one strike, could now accept him killing the Fire Crystal Ape King with one punch.
They were just still somewhat lost in thought.
Looking back at their expressions, Lin Yun pointed towards the depths of the forest with his hand, "Let's go, let's enter this forest and see what exactly attracted these guys."
Lin Yun waved his hand, giving off the impression that he was the leader of the team. After speaking, he took the lead and headed towards the depths of the forest.
Ling Qingzhu, Lin Dong, Yuan Fang, and the others quickly followed closely behind.
The group rushed straight into the forest. Because there were no Fire Crystal Demon Apes blocking them, they quickly entered the central area.
At this moment, in front of them was a patch of crimson land, but the ground had been torn open. A section of a black tree had broken through the soil. On the black wood, branches crisscrossed, shimmering with a cold, steel-like luster.
On the tree, some ancient runes that seemed to have formed naturally could be seen. Vaguely, an extraordinary fluctuation spread outwards.
Moreover, what was most eye-catching was that on the black tree, five crimson fruits that seemed to be burning with flames hung precariously, as if they were about to fall off.
Ling Qingzhu, who was beside them, covered her mouth in surprise when she saw the five fruits. Her large eyes were filled with intense shock, "Immortal Origin Ancient Tree!"
"How could something like this appear here?" Jiang Kun on the side also showed an extremely shocked expression.
"Is that thing very rare?" Lin Dong asked doubtfully. Although he could feel the extraordinary nature of the thing, he didn't have a deep understanding of the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree.
Seeing his puzzled expression, Ling Qingzhu explained.
"Yes, for sects, this Immortal Origin Ancient Tree can automatically absorb the energy between heaven and earth, thereby condensing into fruits. This kind of fruit is extremely beneficial to disciples at our level."
"This Immortal Origin Ancient Tree in front of us is only in its seedling state. If there were seeds, its value would skyrocket by hundreds of times."
"In the Yuan Gate, there is a mature Immortal Origin Ancient Tree. Every time it bears fruit, there are thousands of Immortal Origin Ancient Fruits. The reason why Yuan Gate disciples are stronger than those of other sects is largely due to the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree!"
After speaking, Ling Qingzhu's eyes unconsciously glanced at Lin Yun.
When she saw the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree, she was worried that Lin Yun would try to snatch it.
After all, his true identity was the Chief Disciple of the Yuan Gate who suppressed the Little Yuan King. If he had malicious intentions, then they... That's why her gaze would occasionally drift towards Lin Yun on the side.
However, at this moment, Lin Yun's expression didn't change at all. Instead, he looked at the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree in front of him with a calm expression, without any intention of making a move.
But she was still a little uneasy, because the Immortal Origin Ancient Fruits were not yet ripe, and she didn't know if there would be Immortal Origin Ancient Seeds. If there were seeds, what should they do? Ling Qingzhu's heart was a little excited and worried at this moment.
She was excited because if there were seeds in these Immortal Origin Ancient Fruits, it would be absolutely great news for the Dao Sect. She was worried about whether Lin Yun was truly loyal to the Dao Sect.
Yuan Fang, who was standing at the back, also looked at the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree with a somewhat complicated gaze. She knew that if the news here spread, the Blood Rock Land would likely be in turmoil immediately. The ore vein here was insignificant compared to the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree.
"It will take about five more days to mature. We'll know if there are seeds then. Let's wait first," Lin Yun said.
"Do we need to gather all the disciples?" Yuan Fang asked.
"No need. With me here, there won't be any problems," Lin Yun's words were filled with strong confidence.
The others also nodded slightly, a hint of relief appearing on their faces. Only Ling Qingzhu's heart was slightly worried. Five days passed quickly.
The tree canopy spread out from mid-air, cutting the sunlight that streamed down into fragmented light spots, which then shone on the several figures sitting cross-legged below.
A ray of light fell on Lin Yun's face. His slightly closed eyes also opened, and then his gaze looked at the black tree in front of him. At this time, the five crimson fruits hanging on it were also becoming more and more vibrant, like ripe fruits.
Suddenly, these fruits began to tremble.
"The fruits are about to ripen!" Lin Yun said slowly.
As his voice fell, waves of astonishing energy fluctuations continuously spread out from the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree, even causing the ground to tremble slightly.
*"Buzz buzz!"*
The five crimson fruits began to tremble faster. Suddenly, they shook violently and fell down.
Ling Qingzhu, Lin Dong, Yuan Fang, Jiang Kun, and the others all stared intently at the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree.
Their gazes then simultaneously fell upon Lin Yun, the strongest among them.
With a wave of his hand, the five Immortal Origin Ancient Fruits flew into Lin Yun's grasp.
After the fruits fell, the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree quickly trembled. Suddenly, a green light appeared from the trunk, carrying astonishing vitality.
"Immortal Origin Ancient Seed!" Voices filled with wild joy came from Jiang Kun and Yuan Ling.
Just as the two were speaking, the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree suddenly shook violently, and a thick beam of green light shot out from the treetop.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yun was already prepared. With a sweep of his large hand, a vast amount of Origin Power enveloped the Immortal Origin Ancient Tree.
The thick green light collided with the vast Origin Power and immediately dissipated.
