Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 1537: Quasi-Immortal King

During this period, the Purple Gold Rat was very generous, not competing with Shi Hao for any treasure. However, faced with the Origin Cultivation Fruit, it couldn’t help but show its greedy nature.

No way, this is the Fruit of Origin, on the same level as the Immortal Venerable.

Although only a tiny bit.

Shi Hao continued searching; it had long been mentioned that treasures here were few, but once found, they were much more precious, so naturally, he could endure patiently.

Searching and searching, Shi Hao patiently looked on each branch.

The first-level branches were as thick as mountains, but at the very tip, they were only as thick as an arm. To traverse such a branch took three days, and how many first-level branches did this Tree of Origin have?

In the thousands!

In other words, to search the entire Tree of Origin would take at least ten years.

It was truly time-consuming and enduring.

Keep searching.

Two whole months passed, yet Shi Hao still had no results.

Shi Hao wasn’t losing patience, whereas the Purple Gold Rat looked rather impatient.

"Did some little imp get here before us and take the Origin Cultivation Fruit?" It asked with red eyes, "Don’t let grandpa know who it was, otherwise, I’ll blow them up!"

Shi Hao chuckled, it seemed this fellow really desired the Origin Cultivation Fruit.

Huh?

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

"What’s the matter?" the Purple Gold Rat asked, then suddenly got excited, "Did you find the Origin Cultivation Fruit?"

"Should be," Shi Hao nodded, then sped up.

Before long, Shi Hao stopped, and in front of him, there indeed appeared a green fruit about the size of a fist.

"Origin Cultivation Fruit!" the Purple Gold Rat immediately got excited, "Little Stone, let’s make a deal; let me have this one first!"

Shi Hao smiled, "It’s fine, if you need it, the next one will be yours too!"

All the way here, the Purple Gold Rat had given him great help, so Shi Hao didn’t mind letting the Origin Cultivation Fruit go to the Purple Gold Rat—any number of them didn’t matter.

Even though they always mocked each other, seeming unable to get along, in fact, their friendship was rather deep.

The Purple Gold Rat nodded and went over, immediately gnawing away.

It wasn’t large, and in just a few bites, it was gone.

It immediately started refining, and a faint wave of aura emanated, though very weak, but from the quality perspective, it was extremely high.

Shi Hao showed a look of surprise; he had seen Nine Stars Immortal King before, so he was familiar with this level of aura. Therefore, he could confirm that the aura the Purple Gold Rat just released was indeed of the same level.

Yet, it seemed to have suffered severe injuries, or its power was sealed, causing the aura to be extremely weak.

This guy’s a Nine Stars Immortal King?

Most likely.

Otherwise, how could this guy be so extraordinary?

Yet, what happened to this guy that he would be reborn in the Mortal Realm?

Shi Hao didn’t plan to ask further because the Purple Gold Rat had its secrets, as did he. Some things, if you’re willing to talk about them, great; if not, there’s no need to force it.

This is what friendship is.

Three entire days later, the Purple Gold Rat finished refining the fruit.

"Haha, I’ve finally regained some of my former strength!" the Purple Gold Rat laughed loudly, "I can take on ten at once! No, a hundred!"

Shi Hao immediately attacked, heading towards it.

The Purple Gold Rat wasn’t afraid and started brawling with Shi Hao.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Purple Gold Rat’s power had indeed increased significantly, trading blows with Shi Hao without losing ground.

"Six-step quasi-Immortal King?" Shi Hao stopped and asked the Purple Gold Rat.

The Purple Gold Rat nodded, "No choice, to restore my true strength, one Origin Cultivation Fruit isn’t enough."

"Alright, then let’s keep looking."

Next, Shi Hao and the Purple Gold Rat’s luck became exceptionally good, acquiring two Origin Cultivation Fruits in a month, making the Purple Gold Rat beam with joy, and its power also soared into the nine-step quasi-Immortal King.

But, at this stage, the Origin Cultivation Fruit became useless to it.

――The Origin Power within was far too little, it needed higher-level Great Medicine.

So, in the following discoveries, all the Origin Cultivation Fruits went to Shi Hao.

Yet, they had another stroke of fortune; after searching for a month, they found nothing.

"Little Stone, don’t lose heart; maybe the next moment we’ll find one," the Purple Gold Rat comforted Shi Hao. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Shi Hao smiled; actually, he wasn’t discouraged at all. It’s just that this rat took the previous three Origin Cultivation Fruits, and now it felt uneasy, which made it more anxious than he was.

Two more days passed, and Shi Hao suddenly showed a joyful expression.

"Found it?" the Purple Gold Rat quickly asked.

Shi Hao nodded, and his figure shot out, flying towards where he sensed it.

In no time, he arrived at the place.

Indeed, a green Origin Cultivation Fruit was hanging on the branch.

It was very hidden, so even though there were various creatures here, the chances of discovering it were very low.

After all, this place was too vast.

Shi Hao reached towards the Immortal Fruit, but at this moment, whizz, a green shadow shot rapidly at him.

Who?

Not who, but a green arrow.

Shi Hao sidestepped, dodging the Green Arrow, but he didn’t delay his actions, picking the Origin Cultivation Fruit at the same time.

"Put it down!" a voice came, filled with a strong commanding tone.

Shi Hao looked over, it was a Jade Immortal, but might also be a quasi-Immortal King. After all, even a quasi-Immortal King carried the prefix "quasi" and couldn’t wield the true rules of an Immortal King, so the aura of a quasi-Immortal King and Nine Stars Jade Immortal weren’t much different, only combat power could determine it.

He shook his head, "You attacked me without cause, and I haven’t settled accounts with you, yet you covet my thing?"

"Hmph, since I’ve seen it, naturally it’s mine." The Jade Immortal looked very young, but from the flame of life burning within, he was at least over thirty thousand years old, "Leave that Immortal Fruit, otherwise, your life will be forfeit."

Shi Hao shook his head, you’re truly overbearing.

"Here I am, come and kill me then." He beckoned with his finger at the opponent, provoking them.

The Jade Immortal sneered coldly, "Since you seek death, I’ll grant your wish!"

Whoosh, he pretended to draw a bow, and suddenly a green arrow appeared, shooting toward Shi Hao.

Boom!

This time, Shi Hao didn’t dodge but punched the arrow, instantly shattering it into points of light.

No, this isn’t Jade Immortal power, but quasi-Immortal King!

Shi Hao raised an eyebrow slightly; are quasi-Immortal Kings becoming commonplace these days?

"Oh, so you’re a quasi-Immortal King!" The opponent also showed an expression of surprise, "Didn’t expect, besides me, there’s another quasi-Immortal King!"

Uh, you’re stealing my lines, aren’t you?
