Chapter 11 The Deep Sea Jade Tree Bears Different Fruits
A few days later, Fang Zhuo tried to climb down the cliff again, this time extending the distance by dozens of feet. However, the result is the same, and it is still a feather.
And just like that, day by day. Fang Zhuo's climbing distance slowly increased from fifty zhang, and his martial arts became stronger and stronger as he continued to climb and hone.
100 zhang, 200 zhang............
500 zhang, 1,000 zhang............
Gradually, the initial anxiety of going home slowly faded, and the hard training day after day and the adventure of life and death on the cliff made Fang Zhuo's heart rough. The distance was only a number for him, and there was nothing else left in his heart except to challenge this endless cliff.
One day, more than two months later, a hand slowly reached up from the edge of the cliff platform. The dirty palms trembled slightly, weak but firm on the edge of the platform. Fingers gripped tightly, and a face covered in ash leaned forward tremblingly. Taking a long breath, the unkempt man rolled onto the platform with all his strength.
Fang Zhuo no longer knew how deep he had crawled down. Each time, he would take a few breaks in the middle of the game. A small tree, a protruding rock, a rock crevice, for Fang Zhuo's current skills, as long as there is a trace of strength to borrow, he can take a break. He was becoming more and more familiar with this cliff, and even geckos were three points inferior to him when he went up and down on the smooth vertical rock wall.
After lying down and resting for a while, Fang Zhuo slowly sat up. His hungry stomach gurgled and Fang Zhuo cheered up, it seemed that he needed to eat something and get a good night's sleep. However, when his divine sense penetrated into the jade box, he froze.
There is nothing left to eat. During this time, the wild fruits collected on the cliffs have been eaten. Fang Zhuo touched his shriveled belly, looking at the purple mushrooms brought out of the altar and the fruit on the strange tree, and smiled bitterly. These things may look tempting, but who knows what will happen if you eat them?
During this time, just eating the various wild fruits that grew on those cliffs, Fang Zhuo's appetite was also a little nourished. Although these wild fruits are unknown, each of them is delicious to death for. Either the juice is full and fragrant, or it is sweet and delicious, and melts in your mouth. However, Fang Zhuo didn't know that due to the existence of this altar, the aura in this vicinity was amazingly abundant. And the cliff he was on was actually within the range of the circle outside the altar, and no one in it could enter at all. Even those cultivators did not have super strength, and it was impossible to even discover the existence of this magic circle. Therefore, these wild fruits growing on the cliffs have long been mutated under the abundant spiritual infiltration. Not to mention that there are many rare elixirs in it, even ordinary fruits have incredible medicinal effects. During this time, Fang Zhuo's martial arts improved by leaps and bounds, which was directly related to eating these wild fruits every day. If those cultivators knew that Fang Zhuo actually ate these things as food, he wouldn't vomit blood in anger?!
Right now, the hunger and thirst are unbearable, and Fang Zhuo must use his reserves. His divine sense roamed inside the jade box for a long time, and finally locked on the strange tree. The wild fruit at the bottom of the strange tree has a charming fruity aroma and seems to be eaten.
Gritting his teeth, he couldn't care so much, Fang Zhuo took out a fruit from the bottom of the strange tree. The fruit is soft and has an attractive aroma with a singular taste. This smell was subtle but clear and long, Fang Zhuo suddenly lifted his spirits when he heard it!
It seems that this is good stuff. Thinking about it, if it can be solemnly placed on an altar by the ancestor of the Xuanyuan family, this thing must not be bad. Fang Zhuo looked at this fruit, and he suddenly found that there were faint lines on the surface of this fruit. Fang Zhuo was surprised by this discovery. He took a closer look with his senses, and something even more surprising happened to him.
It turned out that those faint lines were not patterns, but a series of mysterious runes! There is no doubt that these runes are nested and linked with each other, constantly appearing and flowing on the surface of the fruit!
Having had the painful experience of watching the Rune General Compendium and depleting his divine sense, Fang Zhuo immediately stopped checking his divine sense. However, this observation made him remember something.
During this time, in addition to practicing, he climbed the cliff, and his only leisure was to read the jade book "The Great Wilderness Scenery". After looking at it these days, he has sorted out a little clue. It turns out that this "Chronicle of the Great Wilderness" is the adventure of the lives of the two great powers of the Xuanyuan clan in ancient times. These two men are actually brothers. However, Fang Zhuo knew from the records in the book that although these two people were brothers, his elder brother Xuanyuan Hao was more than five hundred years older than his younger brother Xuanyuan!
It has been recorded in ancient books that although the life of the ancients was difficult, there were many people who lived long, and people who were hundreds of years old abounded. Fang Zhuo once thought that this account was pure nonsense, but now it seems that it may be possible.
Moreover, from this book, Fang Zhuo learned that this altar was actually used by Xuanyuan to pay tribute to Xuanyuan Hao. The two brothers ruled this continent one after another, the elder brother Xuanyuan Hao ruled for two thousand years, and Xuanyuan himself had been in office for more than a thousand years when he built this altar!
From this point of view, if the account is true, the life span of this brother is amazing.
Moreover, judging from the records of "The Great Wilderness Chronicles", Xuanyuan Hao did not die, but went to a mysterious place that Xuanyuan Hao longed for very much after his cultivation. That place is called Xuanyuan Realm. Regarding the Xuanyuan Realm, there was no introduction in the book, and Fang Zhuo could only guess by himself.
Many of the things recorded in this book were very absurd, but after reading it every day, Fang Zhuo actually slowly believed it. Because many of the records in the book and many myths and stories that have been passed down on the Cangyuan Continent can corroborate each other. Originally, Fang Zhuo scoffed at the theory of immortals. But after experiencing this strange encounter, and personally controlling the spirit trick, now looking at these fantastic records, Fang Zhuo was slowly able to accept it.
Now he saw the runes circulating on this strange fruit, and immediately remembered a record in the "Great Wilderness Scenery". In the book, it is written that Xuanyuan once discovered an unfathomable trench in the deep sea more than 7 million kilometers away in the extreme west of the Great Wilderness. Regulus went deep into the trench and found that it went straight underground. In the underworld, he found a strange tree. No one knows what this tree does, and they don't know what it does. When this strange tree was discovered, it was full of purple fruits. And the record of these fruits happened to be the same as the fruit that Fang Zhuo had placed beside him! It's just that the strange tree in the record was far from being so tall, and there were no thirteen layers, only a layer of thirteen strange fruits. Of course, Fang Zhuo wouldn't be so brainless, and he also guessed that it was very likely that this strange tree would continue to grow in the altar to what it is today.
