Kui Li chuckled,
My ancestor was the Phoenix. If she was here, I dare you to ask her to call you old grandmaster. I think she would have killed you.

The Ancient Tree was frustrated but dared not reply. The Phoenix was born out of Yin Yang and the Dao of Five Elements when the universe was created. Even Buddha had to pay her some respect. When it was still Jianmu, the World Tree, the Emperor had been eagerly inviting the Phoenix to stay on the Jianmu to escalate the standard of the Celestial Court. Nevertheless, Phoenix never cared about it and even teased the Emperor for it. When the highly regarded Emperor was teased and still did not get mad, it was proven that he respected the Phoenix very much.
Many years and several major catastrophes later, the Phoenix was still nowhere to be seen. Even the Ancient Tree dared not badmouth the Phoenix, to protect it from being judged, wasting its years of practice.
The foolish mortals might curse at gods and ancestors in their times of anger. However, the higher their level, the better one knew of the majestic heaven and its cycle of date. Some major characters were no different from the laws of heaven and were not someone the small characters could badmouth. They all knew very well that if the major characters were angry, they were capable of destroying someone even if they were worlds apart.
The Ancient Tree replied,
I was not referring to the Phoenix. You know very well who I was talking about.



Kui Li said,
That person is not my ancestor. Now he had passed through all trials and obstacles to enter Daluo. Who are you to claim that you’re higher than him?

The Ancient Tree’s stance had weakened a fair bit. It silently cursed Kui Li as he had no idea that even that guy had gotten Dao and achieved the state of Daluo.
Since the creation of the universe, those who achieved Daluo were no more than the number of Dayan (fifty).
The Ancient Tree thought for a while. This kid here was obviously the most powerful, but the little lady beside him who used the Killing Sword was no ordinary person either. Furthermore, Kui Li came from such a significant background. Going up against all of them would not be of any benefit.
It felt unfortunate that it was just released and was not in its best form. Or else it would have called out hundreds of thousands of ox head and horse faces and cause trouble to this group.
Now, the grandfather tree was flexible enough to make the smart move of retreating.
It thought for a while and said,
Little girl, I will not argue with you. This Perfected Lord here, you know very well that if I fight with my best ability, you will be at a loss. However, I would not waste my energy on giving my all to fight you. There are too many good things in this world for you to give up and pursue me. I could see that you have formed an embryo of the heaven and earth. You will have a bright future. To be honest, I was just worried for you. I was worried that if you come against me, we will have to fight to our deaths, and when you achieved Dao by then and return for me, I am afraid my old body cannot withstand any of your attacks anymore.
The Ancient Tree was saying those harsh words, but it was actually trying to negotiate. Ignoring the background of Kui Li, it knew very well about Shen Lian’s abilities through their fight just now. This Perfected Lord actually formed an embryo with the heaven and earth, which was a remarkable feat. He would advance towards the co-existence with the world after achieving Daluo.
It would not risk offending a person of this caliber. So, the best strategy was to make amends with him. Only if Shen Lian did not agree, they would have battled their lives out.
Kui Li silently transmitted a thought to Shen Lian,
We are on an advantage. No matter what, we should still ask it to leave one Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha Dao Fruit for us. This is an opportunity we should not miss.



Shen Lian asked Kui Li,
What is this Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha Dao Fruit?


Initially, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha intended to use this fruit to carry the Dao and refine it into a mystical treasure like the Mystical Tree with Seven Treasures. He never succeeded in the end, but a lot of his gist of Dao was left on it. However, my nature was limited to understand the Dao meaning in it, so I wanted it to pass the fruit to you.
Kui Li said it with the pure intention to help Shen Lian.
Shen Lian also never decorated his words,
If you surrender the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha Dao Fruit, I owe you this favor. In future, if you are in trouble, I will consider helping you once.

His eyes were pure and his tone was clear.
The Ancient tree was in a great dilemma. The Dao Fruit was actually not much of a use to it, but it was too precious to be gifted to somebody just like that. However, it seemed to have no other choices. The Ancient could only blame itself for being so greedy. All these would not have happened if it just ran away earlier.
It was not this greedy, to begin with. All these evil desires were only born after being fed with the filthy aura of the Yellow Spring.
This was also one of the reasons why Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha never refined it into the Mystical Tree with Seven Treasures, besides the fact that he himself gave up on that path.
The Ancient Tree finally decided to surrender the Dao meaning of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha. A flowerless fruit emerged from its treetop, green in color, carrying a deep sense of Dao meaning.
Finally, Kui Li grabbed the fruit with its claw, came to the front of Shen Lian and transformed into a girl in the green robe. She held the fruit and smiled,
Take it now at once.

She looked at Shen Lian with a cheerful and admiring way.


Actually, there was no personal emotion involved. It was the natural attraction of Shen Lian had on her. When Shen Lian achieved the state of Taiyi, his understanding of the Yin Yang and Dao of Five Elements had increased, which naturally merged with Kui Li.
Kui Li used to be a demon that was casual and never hid her likes and dislikes. Everything was expressed by words and expressions.
Shen Lian took the fruit and smiled,
If I get something out of it, I will tell you everything I know.

Kui Li replied,
No need for that. I have my own ways, no need to beg others.

After surrendering the Dao fruit, the Ancient Tree sneaked away.
Shen Lian knew very well that this Dao fruit was not only an opportunity, it was also trouble. After all, the Rama was a Mahasattva who gained orthodoxy of the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, and he was respectful to him. Who would expect him to gain this Dao fruit one day?
Maybe Rama only predicted that he had a great connection with himself achieving Dao. That was a more reasonable explanation.
Shen Lian’s guess was not that far from the fact.
He did not want to study the Dao Fruit at this moment, as he wanted to return to Qing Xuan first. Those deities were now more impressed with Zhenren Shen’s capabilities. They were not aware of how powerful someone was above the level of land immortals. After seeing it with their own eyes, they were all eager to pursue it now.
They preferred to fight hard for it rather than living aimlessly in this place. They would never surrender to old age!
