Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 1536: Origin Cultivation Fruit

Purple Gold Rat chuckled, "Where did you get so many Origin items!"

Damn it, you said yourself, this is called the Tree of Origin!

Shi Hao was speechless, "Are you intentionally teasing me?"

"This has a slight connection to the Wood Source, so it’s called the Tree of Origin, but to say it’s the evolution of the Wood Source is an exaggeration!" Purple Gold Rat shook its head, "Otherwise, Immortal Venerables would be fighting to the death for it!"

"Little Stone, you have a mistaken understanding of the nine Origins!"

Purple Gold Rat pointed out, "The nine Origins make up our world; how massive and terrifying it is! Immortal Venerables can only wield Origin Power but that doesn’t mean they are equal to the Origin! If you must make a comparison, the strength of the Origin is one thousand, whereas an Immortal Venerable is just one!"

"If an Immortal Venerable could truly master one hundred percent of Origin Power, they could replace this Origin and become the ruler of heaven and earth, or at least a part of it, eternally Undead!"

"Unfortunately, in all of history, no one has achieved being Undead."

Shi Hao suddenly understood, Immortal Venerables do not represent the Origin, contrary to what he had always believed.

"After all this talk, what is this Tree of Origin anyway?"

Purple Gold Rat shrugged, "It’s just a tiny bit of Origin Power absorbed consciously. To the Immortal Venerables, this tiny bit of Origin Power is negligible, so naturally, they wouldn’t bother with it! Furthermore, obtaining Origin Power is indeed a hassle if a battle were to break out."

"However, the Tree of Origin might bear Origin Cultivation Fruit, which is most suited for your current cultivation."

Shi Hao sighed, "Just saying that would have saved a lot of trouble!"

He simply wanted to know if there was any opportunity on such a giant tree.

Purple Gold Rat rolled its eyes in annoyance; had it known before, it wouldn’t have said anything.

They set out for the tree trunk.

Fly directly up?

Impossible.

Shi Hao could indeed fly, but the distance here was limited, for dreadful killing intent lurked high up, and the tree was so tall that it far exceeded his reach.

Thus, he had to first head to the tree trunk.

He approached the tree trunk, but it took him two days to get there.

The vast size of the tree became apparent.

How thick is the trunk?

Shi Hao couldn’t say, as he couldn’t even see the top!

Whatever; whether thick or thin doesn’t matter, as long as it’s usable.

The trunk was so thick that it felt less like a tree and more like a continent, with small bumps on the bark magnifying into hills.

Shi Hao leapt and climbed the protrusions on the tree trunk, resembling mountain climbing.

He spent an entire day climbing, yet the canopy remained out of reach.

There was no other way; the tree was too tall, and the pressure from climbing slowed him significantly.

After a brief rest, he continued his journey.

Another day later, he finally arrived at the tree canopy.

Up till now, the tree was just a single trunk with no branches; here it spread out, forming a vast primitive forest with dense foliage and massive branches like towering trees.

Shi Hao rested again, optimizing his state before starting his search on the canopy.

Despite being the "canopy," it was as large as a vast plain, with no end in sight. Searching the entire area would take a staggering amount of time, and there were no distinctive landmarks.

Thus, Shi Hao memorized each branch.

He traversed one branch completely, then returned the same way before seeking out another branch, ensuring no repetition or omission.

Let’s go.

He stepped onto the first branch, progressing rapidly while observing.

Despite being just a branch, it was mountainous in size. Fortunately, Shi Hao had the Little Star Universe, which expanded enough to cover all areas of the branch, saving him multiple searches.

The branch had branches, and those branches had more branches; the tree was truly immense.

Hmm?

He suddenly halted, looking ahead.

Amidst the dense foliage, a triangular snake head hid, green and perfectly camouflaged among the leaves, with a powerful concealment effect.

However, this was ineffective against Shi Hao with his Little Star Universe.

He had discovered it earlier, but there was no way to avoid this snake on his path.

Moreover, did he need to avoid it?

It’s merely Jade Immortal level.

Shi Hao quickly approached the snake below.

Swish, the snake lunged at Shi Hao with electrifying speed.

This was no python but a venomous snake with sharp fangs, entwined with jade-level Immortal Rule. A bite would easily pierce a Jade Immortal’s skin, injecting venom that would cause instant decay.

Shi Hao laughed, directly thrusting his fist forward.

The snake bit Shi Hao’s fist, then it cried.

Its fangs shattered, and the venom it had gathered splattered everywhere.

It hurt so much!

The venomous snake rolled in agony, lucky the branch was huge; otherwise, it would have fallen long ago.

Shi Hao smiled, withdrew his fist, his skin unscathed.

Try to tear his skin?

At least be an Immortal King; even a quasi-Immortal King couldn’t pierce his body now.

"Get lost?" Shi Hao yelled.

The snake scurried away, forced to flee from such a formidable presence despite being a bloodthirsty Ferocious Beast.

Shi Hao laughed heartily and continued forward.

Soon, he found a green caterpillar.

This caterpillar wasn’t aggressive, instead focused on gnawing tree leaves.

This was the Tree of Origin; even with minimal Origin Power in the leaves, consuming enough would benefit cultivation.

Shi Hao smiled, naturally non-confrontational, and wandered off.

Origin Cultivation Fruit?

Shi Hao searched everywhere but found no fruits.

"Be patient; you haven’t finished even one branch!" Purple Gold Rat commented.

Shi Hao chuckled, "Aren’t you the one without patience?"

"How is that possible!" Purple Gold Rat denied firmly.

"Ha ha, before denying, wipe the drool off your mouth!" Shi Hao remarked disdainfully.

"Uh." Purple Gold Rat felt speechless.
