Chapter 539: Chapter 545: Master Breaks the Rules, Greedy Cheapskate Cat! (Third update)

A Daoist Origin Fruit of ten thousand years!

Upon hearing this name, everyone in attendance was stunned, even Yang Zhen’s eyes lit up.

Yang Zhen didn’t know what the Mountain and River Map was, but he had heard of the Daoist Origin Fruit. He didn’t expect such a fruit to exist here, let alone a ten thousand-year-old Daoist Origin Fruit.

Damn, this thing could definitely stir up a sensation once it appeared.

Yang Zhen gazed intently at the crowd below, especially Fang Zhongjian and Lu Tianwei. Their eyes were nearly glowing. Clearly, they were determined to get the ten thousand-year-old Daoist Origin Fruit.

The opening of the Mountain River Academy’s seal was imminent. It was impossible for Master Tie alone to monopolize the ten thousand-year-old Daoist Origin Fruit and the Mountain and River Map. With such treasures present, how could the people of the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain not be moved?

Even Master Tie himself didn’t intend to monopolize the ten thousand-year-old Daoist Origin Fruit and the Mountain and River Map. His sole focus was on opening the Mountain River Academy. He understood that these were not his own fortunes but opportunities for everyone.

Although helpless, there was no other option. Such was the world of cultivation.

If someone was more formidable than the people from the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, and intruded when the ten thousand-year-old Daoist Origin Fruit appeared, the people from the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land would be helpless too.

Everyone was on edge, watching Master Tie intently. Even Fang Zhongjian and Lu Tianwei no longer tried to prevent Master Tie from breaking the seal.

As Master Tie had said, breaking the seal required a full hour. Within that hour, everyone would have enough time to determine whether Master Tie was telling the truth.

While watching Master Tie walk towards the mountains alone, Fang Zhongjian turned to Lu Tianwei and asked, “Have the other practitioners in the Mountain and River Ruins been cleared out?”

Lu Tianwei glanced at a fellow disciple, who nodded and said, “All of them have been cleared out. Besides us, no other practitioners have entered the Mountain and River Ruins.”

Fang Zhongjian nodded, smiled and said, “The Mountain and River Map and the ten thousand-year-old Daoist Origin Fruit are rare treasures of heaven and earth. We should secure them first. As for the distribution, we can discuss it after we leave the Mountain and River Ruins. What do you think?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianwei nodded and looked at Ji Yourong.

Ji Yourong remained calm, her face was as lovely as ever.

Seeing this, Lu Tianwei turned to Fang Zhongjian and said, “Indeed, it should be so.”

Fang Zhongjian burst into laughter, glanced at the enchantress, but obviously didn’t take her seriously.

Although the enchantress was a peak practitioner in the Mahayana Phase, most of the people in the crowd were also in the Mahayana Phase. The enchantress alone couldn’t resist the people from the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and Heavenly Snow Holy Domain.

Seeing everybody’s tension, Yang Zhen cleared his throat and turned to Feng Lingqiao, saying, “um… I might have something to do later. Maybe you should leave first?”

Feng Lingqiao was shocked and asked in surprise, “Are you going to snatch the ten thousand-year Daoist Origin Fruit?”

Yang Zhen widened his eyes and said, “How could you say that? I’m just trying to find my good friend. I’m sure he is inside.”

Feng Lingqiao looked doubtful, but then nodded and said, “Then, be careful. I’ll be waiting for you here.”

Yang Zhen shook his head and was about to say something when a loud humming noise suddenly sounded. He quickly turned his head to look.

Breaking the seal was no different than opening up a new world. It would awaken the people of Mountain River Academy who had been sealed in a ring-like small world. It was quite similar to the situation where Captain America was frozen for many years.

Yang Zhen watched with interest as Master Tie stood by the mountain, murmuring to himself with his hands moving. An unusual energy radiated from him.

The humming sound came from deep inside the mountain. When Yang Zhen looked up, Master Tie had a spiritual treasure similar to the Judge’s Pen in his hand, which resembled the Unblemished Sword that had been severed. However, it exuded a more eerie aura. The shock waves burst out like ripples, surging in all directions.

Boom!

From the depths of the mountain came a series of violent sounds, like the Nine Nether Purgatory was collapsing, which was extremely chilling.

A sense of heavenly intention seemed to converge between heaven and earth, and everyone’s faces became extremely solemn.

Yang Zhen was unblinkingly focused on the Judge’s Pen in Master Tie’s hand. It seemed to be writing something, but Yang Zhen couldn’t see it clearly due to the distance.

However, this did not prevent Yang Zhen from feeling, as Master Tie sketched stroke by stroke in mid-air, an aura similar to that found in storage rings spontaneously arose, the same but much stronger.

This struck Yang Zhen as peculiar. Could it be that the so-called Ring Mini-World was similar in principle to the storage ring but at a more potent level?

Just then, a humming sound echoed. The entire mountain seemed to tremble, a surge of powerful energy waves furiously spreading in all directions. For a moment, the wind kicked up dust and pebbles, causing everyone to sway unsteadily.

Master Tie, standing tall, with each stroke of the brush, and with the energy wave coming from within the mountain, forcefully drove the Judge’s Pen into the mountain body.

Boom!

A loud explosion startled everyone. They all looked shocked as the entire mountain trembled. Layer upon layer of mud, rocks, and dust crumbled apart. The massive detonation left everyone astounded.

“Just the first layer, it was really just the first layer. I hadn’t expected the Mountain River Academy’s seals would have two layers!”

“Quick, what is that?”

“Such intense breath, could it be the Mountain and River Map, or Tiaoist Origin Fruit that has been around for tens of thousands of years?”

“Impossible, even if it’s just the first layer, breaking the seal wouldn’t be this simple. Didn’t Master Tie say it? To break the seal, it will take a full hour. How much time has passed since then?”

A group of people with shocked expressions watched the exploded mountain, their discussions filled the air, but their eyes did not move an inch, all rigidly fixed on the mountain that was bursting out endless energy waves.

Just then, Master Tie suddenly pressed heavily on the embedded Judge’s Pen and roared, “Open!”

Boom!

The entire mountain suddenly erupted with a mind-terrifying terror-inducing fluctuation, splitting into two halves like it had been cut with a blade. Amid an earth-shattering thunderous sound, a horrifying crack split from the middle.

The massive mountain erupted with a sky-blocking furious energy wave, splitting from the middle, extending to both sides.

“No good, old man, you dare deceive me?”

Fang Zhongjian’s face changed drastically. He rushed toward Master Tie, bellowing, “The seal is about to break, the people from Mountain River Academy will come out, everyone, charge with me, we must get the Mountain and River Map.”

Boom!

Everyone was in an uproar. Upon hearing Fang Zhongjian’s words, they uniformly rushed toward Master Tie.

Yang Zhen watched the sudden turn of events with a baffled expression, the oddity reflecting in his eyes. Things were indeed a bit strange.

Everyone was deceived by Master Tie. To break the seal didn’t need an hour, at least not for him; it definitely did not require an hour.

After the mountain split into two, a small world appeared. With the fragrance of birds and flower, there was a sense of chaos as if the time seal had been too long, giving off a wild aura.

All people like crazy rushed toward Master Tie. But Yang Zhen just stood there unmoved, blankly staring at the center of the two halves of the mountain.

Baffled!

Yang Zhen was truly baffled this time.

In the small world that had broken open, atop an enormously tall tree, an orange cat was sitting cockeyed, gnawing at a black fruit.

The next moment, everyone unconsciously stopped, staring blankly towards the inside of the seal.

The big orange cat dumbfoundedly looked at the practitioners swarming around it. The fruit in its hand, with a ‘plop,’ fell to the ground.

“The hell?”

Yang Zhen’s eyes almost popped out, a strange expression on his face,

“Scoundrel cat?”
