8 Stones of Eternity
Holy Fruit, Leaping Toadstool.

Chapter 47. Holy Fruit, Leaping Toadstool.

Cao Tian Jun appeared at his original place while hiding, there were still many Horned Lizards roaming around. Then, he turned into the wind and headed towards the highest mountain peak in the Five-Finger Mountain Range.

With his form being the wind, Cao Tian Jun freely moved. Fang Yin immediately ordered his bodyguards to follow Cao Tian Jun.

Unfortunately, Fang Guotin and his bottom lost track of him. However, they believed that Cao Tian Jun was heading to the Leaping Toadstool location, and they followed Fang Yin's orders.

While heading to the main location, Cao Tian Jun took the time to pick up the flourishing spirit and medicinal plants. Although guarded by a mystical beast, its form is unknown.

The mystic beast only felt the whirring of the wind, and roared when it lost its treasure. Fang Guotin and his five subordinates immediately found out what had happened, where there was a trace of the spirit plant that Cao Tian Jun had taken.

And it turned out, Fang Guotin's skill and his five subordinates were similar to the Material Change Technique, only that their abilities were more likely to camouflage, changing their form to follow the environment.

"Tian Sun's son is indeed great, his skill exceeds our Fang Clan's techniques!" fang Guotin's praise was amazed at not knowing Cao Tian Jun's exact whereabouts, but he could only feel a different wind from the mountain breeze.

"Chairman, where is young lady Yin?" asked one of his subordinates who was unaware of Fang Yin's whereabouts.

"Well, but Young Miss didn't tell me where she was hiding. What matters is young lady is safe!" fang Guotin replied and kept abreast of the wind whirr triggered by Cao Tian Jun's movements.

Fang Guotin and his subordinates stopped when they saw the rare spirit plant suddenly disappear, they smiled wryly due to Cao Tian Jun's abilities unknown to the mystical beasts.

"What technique did young master Tian use?" ask one of his men.

Fang Guotin thought for a moment. Before his subordinates asked, he had already thought about the technique used by Cao Tian Jun.

"Do you guys know about the advantages of the Golden Crown Stone Pagoda in the Yin Sect?" fang Guotin asked before replying, he wanted to know if his subordinates were of high insight

The ability of the Crown Stone, capable of controlling many elements. The Yin Sect had recently announced the news that the Crown Stone had chosen the best disciple. And the one chosen by the Seven Stones of Eternity is called the Son of Heaven.

Besides being famous for the existence of the Crown Stone, the Yin Sect was also famous for its technique, the Book of the Nine Moons. The superiority of the Yin Sect in its expertise, namely dance art, music, Array Formation and also Alchemists. But they lean more in the arts.

The alleged Fang Guotin, the skill used by Cao Tian Jun came from the Crown Stone, where it was able to control many of the elements devoted to passive martial arts, was, with the method of concealment it resembles any element.

However, the Yin Sect did not obtain the kind of passive technique used by Cao Tian Jun. The technique given by the Crown Stone was only a type of Active Technique manipulating elements, like an attack into the wind that formed a tornado. Turning the blow into fire and so on.

The five Fang Guotin's men shook their heads in a sign of not knowing.

"Someday, we'll know. Currently there is no need to talk about it anymore," said Fang Guotin who was reluctant to explain if his subordinates were lacking in insight, even though the Stone of Eternity was already famous everywhere.

As for Cao Tian Jun, he did not know if Fang Yin had ordered his bodyguards to protect him. At this moment, he again darted to his destination while thinking of Yan Yan who disappeared.

The face of Little Nuwa who was similar to Yan Yan, made Cao Tian Jun unable to forget about it. Yan Yan was her only friend when she was a child, and obviously she was worried about him.

"Why do I feel Little Nuwa is Yan Yan! Is it because I miss him too much and worry too?" he murmured while looking around.

Cao Tian Jun stopped when he saw a group of ten, two old men carrying eight male disciples. Their movements were so fast that they were like shadows, but the two old men deliberately lowered their speed in order for their students to follow.

Their aim was the same as Cao Tian Jun, he saw the logo embedded on their left chest, he muttered, "Black Darkness!"

Dark Black College was very far from the Five Fingers Mountain Range, their strange thing to be here. Their territory was in the Northern East, close to the territory of the Xia Empire bordering Iron Hill. If it wanted to head to the Five-Finger Mountain Range, it would have to pass through the Snow Field region and the Bright Star Kingdom.

The two old men were the leader of the Dark Black College, his name was Yu Zhong, and his representative was named Luan Jin.

Due to the presence of the Dark Black College, Cao Tian Jun's thoughts about Yan Yan became sidetracked. The more it rises to the top of the mountain, the wind also gets stronger and slows its movement. However, as Cao Tian Jun resembled the wind, he did not feel any resistance.

The distance between him and the Dark Black College members was getting further and further. Likewise with Fang Guotin who was still able to follow Cao Tian Jun's movements.

Fang Yin who had a complete map of the Five Fingers Mountain Range because Fang Guotin had first explored it. Therefore, Fang Guotin memorized his dense natural geography and was filled with danger.

The Dark Black College members did not know that Fang Guotin had passed, they were obstructed due to the strong gusts of wind that slowed the movement.

Finally, Cao Tian Jun arrived at the location of Leaping Toadstool, he immediately stopped when he saw a half-human bird, King Gale the keeper of Leaping Toadstool.

As it turned out, King Gale was not alone, he was with a horde of Mountain Ape beasts. The Mountain Ape is led by the Monkey King who befriends King Gale. They were currently surrounding Leaping Toadstool.

Cao Tian Jun slowly approached Leaping Toadstool, making the heart of Team Phoenix flutter, even Little Nuwa who came to look while eating the fruit instantly stopped chewing.

Cao Tian Jun became wary as the strength of the Monkey King and Gale King was on par with a Great God level cultivator. A power far from his current level. Whereas, those apes also had strength, the lowest at Body Refining level, and the highest at Crossing Tribulation level.

Then came a swarm of Golden Eagles from the other direction, also came other apes. There were two apes that possessed the strength of a level 8 Profound Immortal.

To be honest, Cao Tian Jun was also afraid and worried, as his strength was clearly different. His heartbeat raced as he got closer to the Monkey King and King Gale. But, with the gathering of Apes and Eagle birds, Cao Tian Jun was curious.

Right now, Cao Tian Jun had quite clearly seen his target, where there were two Leaping Toadstools that were over 300 years old. The shape is the same as mushrooms in general, the stem is milky white, the crown part is pink. It's just that the size is five times larger than the mushrooms in general, the crown is 45 cm in diameter.

The main attraction for the Monkey King and King Gale, the center on the two heads of Leaping Toadstool appears flower buds that will bloom. The bud slowly began to bloom, then a strange fruit appeared.

The fruit was blood red, giving off a light that flickered like an ornamental lamp. It also gave off a fragrant aroma, and an enormous spiritual energy.

The appearance of the fruit made black clouds gather above the mountain peak, it seemed that there would be a lightning disaster. Soon the Monkey King and King Gale headed to the top of the tree, they protected the Leaping Toadstool before being struck by lightning. Apes and other Golden Eagle birds also surround the tree that is home to the Leaping Toadstool.

"That intermediate stage Fairy level Holy Fruit, its name is Leaping Toadstool Sacred Fruit. After undergoing the Lightning Tribulation, quickly grab it before they take it!" pinta Fang Yin who knew very well about Leaping Toadstool.

Cao Tian Jun did not reply, as he was thinking of a way to get his target.

Yes, the Leaping Toadstool Holy Fruit will undergo the Lightning Tribulation because it is already a punishment for its existence that has violated the rules of the universe. If the Leaping Toadstool is able to survive a lightning strike, then the Sacred Fruit is very beneficial for anyone to increase strength quickly. But if it fails to undergo the Lightning Tribulation, it only becomes nutrition for Leaping Toadstool as its parent.

The distance between Cao Tian Jun and Leaping Toadstool was 74 meters away from the ground level, he could easily retrieve it if none of the apes were to protect.

Fang Guotin and his subordinates stopped under the tallest tree in the Five Fingers Mountain Range, their whereabouts remained unknown to anyone, their distance to Cao Tian Jun was 200 meters.

Whereas, the members of Dark Black College immediately accelerated his movements upon seeing the Lightning Tribulation was about to happen, they knew if a Holy Fruit had appeared. They were still a great distance away, 800 meters more adrift than the tallest tree.

"You're here, let Master take the Leaping Toadstool!" yu Zhong's orders to his disciple, he did not want to be late to obtain the long-awaited Holy Fruit.

"Be careful, Teacher. The Monkey King and Gale King his strength is on par with yours!" warning one of the disciples who was worried if the number two person in Dark Black College was injured.

Yu Zhong nodded in understanding, he along with Luan Jin immediately shot towards Cao Tian Jun who was already waiting for the opportunity to take the Leaping Toadstool.

Fang Guotin and his subordinates found out about them, he immediately ordered his two men to prevent Yu Zhong and Luan Jin.

"You two, take them down!"

Immediately the two men went down as ordered, they were not the least bit afraid of the power of the Dark Black College leader.
