400: Mysterious Fruit Forest Opens

The entrance to the Mysterious Fruit Forest.

Many Cultivators had already been waiting here for a long time.

Most of them were young generation Cultivators from Holy Lands and Cultivation Families.

"Saint Su, long time no see!"

"Your strength has increased again!"

Zhao Wuyuan, leading over a dozen Dao Yi Disciples, enthusiastically cupped his hands upon seeing Su Yun and spoke directly.

"Saint Zhao, you as well. It has been a while, and your strength has also improved significantly!"

Seeing this, Su Yun also cupped his hands and replied politely.

"Saint Su, please don't joke. No matter how strong I am, I can't compare to you!"

Zhao Wuyuan shook his head with a bitter smile.

In the past few months, after recovering from his injuries, he had worked hard in secluded Cultivation, only managing to Breakthrough a minor Realm and reach the ninth level of the Soul Emergence Realm.

But what about Su Yun?

Just now on the Observation Deck, he had clearly seen the process of Su Yun's two strikes.

Was he even a normal Cultivator anymore?

Having not seen him for only a few months, Su Yun's strength likely already exceeded that of the lower-Realm Dao Yi Elders.

It could be described as terrifyingly formidable.

All signs pointed to Su Yun perhaps being the Reincarnation of some ancient powerhouse or even an Immortal, or perhaps possessing Immortal Aptitude, to have such powerful strength and Cultivation talent.

Furthermore, the Dao Yi Elders had instructed him to try his best to stay on good terms with Su Yun.

Thus, he stepped forward to greet him warmly.

"It's not as exaggerated as you say.

It was just a coincidence!"

Su Yun waved his hand with a slight smile.

At this moment, the Saints from other Holy Lands, except for the Spiritual Martial Holy Son, also stepped forward to greet him enthusiastically.

"Saint Su, hello!"

"Saint Su, if you have any Medicinal Pills that need refining, you can come to our Tiandan Holy Land!"

"Saint Su, when you have time, feel free to visit our Ten Thousand Demon Holy Land and take a tour of the Myriad Demon Domain!"

...Su Yun also greeted each of them in turn, exchanging a few pleasantries.

After all, they were all Saints of various Holy Lands.

It was only natural to maintain good relations.

In any case, the Taixuan Holy Land had no hostile Holy Lands.

At this moment, Xie Yulan stood behind Su Yun, looking at him with some admiration:

"Junior Brother Yun is simply too amazing; the Saints of all the Holy Lands are so respectful toward him!"

She suddenly felt a bit of regret that after the Holy Son Selection ended a few months ago, she had immediately returned to the Xie Family for secluded Cultivation.

This had resulted in her not only encountering a lot of troublesome matters but also missing the Holy Land Grand Competition.

If she had known, she would have stayed in the Holy Land and followed Su Yun to participate in the Holy Land Grand Competition.

Perhaps she would have been able to see Su Yun showing off his prowess.

This was truly a huge loss!

Meanwhile, Leng Xirou stared at Su Yun's figure with obsessed, beautiful eyes.

After a few words with the Saints of the various Holy Lands.

Su Yun led the Taixuan Disciples to an open space, quietly waiting for the Mysterious Fruit Forest to open... On the other side.

Liu Ruoxi had also finished gathering all the Yaochi Disciples who were to participate in this exploration of the Mysterious Fruit Forest and arrived at the entrance.

"Saintess, once we enter the Mysterious Fruit Forest, I will lead the team for you. You can feel free to explore with Young Master Su!"

Li Xue said in a low voice while following beside Liu Ruoxi.

"What are you talking about!

I am the Yaochi Holy Maiden; I must lead the team well.

How could I possibly explore the Mysterious Fruit Forest alone with Su Yun?

That would be most inappropriate!"

Liu Ruoxi refused immediately without even thinking.

"And why would I explore with Su Yun?

Senior Sister Li, you just love talking nonsense!"

"Saintess, you don't need to explain, I understand!

You're just too embarrassed to say it!"

"The other Junior Sisters have also agreed to this!

Besides, didn't you have me lead the team last time while you went off to explore a Secret Realm alone with Young Master Su?"

"No need, I don't need that!

Last time was just an accident. This time, I must take responsibility and lead the team personally!"

Just as Liu Ruoxi finished speaking, the Yaochi Disciples behind her swarmed around, all talking at once:

"Saintess, don't worry! We will take good care of ourselves!

We've brought many Talismans and various trump cards!"

"Yes, Saintess, we've already made up our minds.

We will definitely help you win over Young Master Su!"

..."No, I don't agree."

Liu Ruoxi was somewhat tempted, but she still shook her head.

"Alright then! That's a pity!"

Li Xue said somewhat helplessly upon seeing this.

The surrounding Yaochi Disciples began to transmit messages to each other:

"What should we do?

The Saintess doesn't seem to agree!"

"Then we'll think of another way to help the Saintess!

Anyway, the Mysterious Fruit Forest will be open for seven days, so there's no rush."

"Alright, that's all we can do for now."

...At this moment, Liu Ruoxi suddenly felt that Li Xue and the others were acting strange.

But she didn't think too much about it.

She led the Yaochi Disciples and began waiting for the Mysterious Fruit Forest to open.

Half an hour later.

Three Tribulation Crossing Realm Elders from the Jade Pool Holy Land emerged from the Void Realm, leading a group of Yaochi Deacons before the crowd.

Perhaps because the time had come, the blurry silhouette of the Mysterious Fruit Forest suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

Upon seeing the Mysterious Fruit Forest appear, the three Jade Pool Holy Land Elders and a large number of Yaochi Deacons stood in specific positions.

The leading Yaochi Elder took out a jade pendant from her Storage Ring and used her spiritual energy to make it float in the air.

Immediately, she and the other two Elders simultaneously released powerful Law-infused spiritual energy, injecting it directly into the jade pendant in the air.

The rest of the Yaochi Deacons also began to perform hand seals.

In an instant, a grand formation was successfully set up.

A dazzling white spiritual light shot straight into the sky.

The jade pendant directly transformed into a giant spiritual rune, shining onto the silhouette of the Mysterious Fruit Forest.

The originally calm Mysterious Fruit Forest suddenly began to vibrate, and faint ripples appeared in the surrounding space before an ancient light gate manifested in the air.

Then, the jade pendant transformed into another spiritual rune that shone directly onto the light gate.

As a mysterious wave of energy spread in all directions, the light gate instantly opened.

A thick surge of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, accompanied by the Power of Law, poured out from the light gate, followed by the sweet fragrance of spiritual fruits.

The Cultivators present felt their cultivation increase slightly just by taking a single whiff.

Seeing that the entrance to the Mysterious Fruit Forest had opened, the leading Yaochi Elder retrieved the floating jade pendant, turned to the eager crowd, and said loudly:

"Everyone, the Mysterious Fruit Forest is now open!"

"Everyone has only seven days to explore. After seven days, you will be teleported out by the Mysterious Fruit Forest."

"There are many Ancient Restrictions within the Mysterious Fruit Forest; please be extremely careful while exploring."

"That is all I have to say. You may enter now."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Cultivators began to discuss excitedly:

"Such thick Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi! Just smelling this fruit fragrance can improve one's cultivation!"

"It seems there are many precious spiritual fruits inside."

"Yes, we will definitely have a great harvest this time!"

"Let's go! Let's get in there quickly!"
