Alex said, “Forget it, you can have all of them!”
“Are you serious?”
“Yeah, you’ll eat all of them. I’ll eat you then.”
“D*mn you..!”
“Pluck all seven fruits for me. I’ll leave two fruits for you. Otherwise, I don’t want any.”
“You wicked b*stard..!”
Just then, the Stardew Tree’s radiance flourished even more, and silver lines could be seen flowing on the tree trunk, as though rushing toward the flowers after drawing nutrients from the tree’s roots. The purple flowers seemed to be even more delicate and luscious.
Buzz!
Seven pillars of purple light soared to the sky. Unexpectedly, they broke through the spell formation here and rushed out of the mountaintop while creating seven huge holes. The seven pillars of light soared into the sky just like that.
“D*mn, the commotion is too great. The people out there must have seen them,” said the pig demon, much to its chagrin.
Alex frowned as well. “How long will it take for the fruits to ripen?”
The pig demon said, “One hour at least.”
As expected, this pig demon had a knack for this.
Alex nodded. “Fine. l’ll figure out a way within this one hour. You’ll be in charge of plucking the fruits. Hey, let me show you something.”
He took out a Chaos Tree branch. “Do you recognize this?”
The pig demon was wide-eyed. “Chaos… Chaos Tree?”
Alex said with a smile, “That’s right. It’s the Chaos Tree. I even have the Chaos fruits. Do you want some?”
At the same time, when all the people of the Sun Shrine saw the purple light on the mountain soaring into the sky, each one was astonished…
“What is that?”
“Isn’t that the abandoned mountain without spiritual energy? How could there be such dazzling purple lights soaring into the sky? Could it be that a peerless divine artifact is going to be born?”
“Hurry up, go and take a look!”
The guests who had come to join the banquet also wanted to go but the Sun Shrine’s people refused. Certainly, they wanted to keep it for themselves.
Someone asked, “Who said the strange treasure will be born for sure? It may also be a dreadful devil. The spiritual energy on that mountain isn’t obvious. I think it’s unlikely to be a treasure. Let’s go together to take a look. It’s fine to watch each other’s backs too.”
“That’s right. Most of the main force of your Sun Shrine isn’t here now. It wouldn’t be fine if something goes wrong. If there’s really a mishap, we can be of help too.”
Colette from the Silvermoon Sanctuary blurted out, “My Heavenly Mirror is still in the hands of Sect Master Simpson. He must be suppressing the dreadful devil. The Heavenly Mirror is my treasure, so I’ll go there and lend a hand.”
