Chapter 2922 The Ancient Spatial Fruit
In the end, Austin was given a jade token, as was everyone else, including the Heavenly Majestic Pot.
"I have told you everything there is to tell," the old man''s shadow added.
"My mission isplete. Now, it is time for you to seek your destinies and get on your own trails.
Ah! I almost forgot. The road of trial winds through various cities like this Layne Lu City. There you can
find ces to take shelter or rest."
The old man''s voice suddenly took a forbidding tone, further entuated by the fact that his shadow
was hovering over them in midair.
"Bear in mind that all the wares and services, including natural resources and treasures for cultivation,
that are offered within these cities must be purchased with money or something else.
Anyone who makes the mistake of taking them by force or trickery will be executed without mercy!"
"Sir!" A voice called out among the gathered men.
"Can we gain ess to the Yellow Cosmos once we''ve finished our trails on the road of trial?
Will the door to the Gods'' Hometown finally appear?"
These were the same questions that had been lurking in everyone else''s mind.
Hearing the words out loud made everyone stand a little straighter and grip their weapons a little
tighter, as if they were suddenly pulled back to reality.
Their purpose ining here was to find the door to the Gods'' Hometown and enter the Yellow
Cosmos.
They all somehow got distracted by the knowledge that the passage they were about to take was the
Primordial Road, and temporarily lost sight of their original goal.
"You may, of course, set foot in the Yellow Cosmos," came the old man''s reply. "Once the trial is
Cosmos.
You may also choose to be teleported to other cosmoses, even back here to the Purple Cosmos.
The Primordial Road has several entrances and exits, but I cannot tell you anything about the door to
the Gods'' Hometown. I know nothing of it.
My only task is to exin the rudimentary points you need to know about the trails ahead.
As for information concerning other matters, I''m afraid I have been detached from the outside world for
too long, and thus can be of no help to you."
The shadow began to ripple in the air, about to dissipate into nothing.
Suddenly another voice piped up among the crowd.
"Sir, why this city is named after Master Layne Lu? Does it have something to do with him?"
"Huh?"
High up in the air, the old man''s shadow trembled back into shape, its form seeming to vibrate with a
subtly violent energy.

Twin pricks of light shone at the ce where its eyes were supposed to be, and their gaze locked on to
the direction of Austin, who had fired the question.
"You are familiar with the story of Master Layne?"
The old man''s shadow asked Austin with his spiritual sense, keeping the conversation a secret from
the rest of the creatures in attendance.
"Master Layne was the forefather of all the carpenters," Austin answered carefully through his own
spiritual sense, keeping his tone respectful towards the old man.
"Heid the foundations of carpentry. I''ve heard of his stories before."
"It seems that you bear a strong connection to that ancient.
All right, since we both came from the same, I will tell you a secret.
In the first test, you will need to get five thousand points in order to gain qualification for the next trial.
But anyone who manages to get ten thousand points can acquire a magic weapon left by Master
Layne.
It is a very powerful magic weapon!"
As soon as it finished speaking, the old man''s shadow disappeared without a trace.
"From the some!" Austin eximed. This possible revtion was a pleasant surprise.
"Are you from Earth, sir?"
There was no more reply, however, nor any trace whatsoever that the shadow still lingered among
them.
"Sir! Sir!"
The other creatures were crying out at the space where the shadow disappeared.
Of course, Austin was not the only one who still had much to ask. But no matter how much they called
out to the old man, there was no reply, and the shadow never reappeared.
Gingerly, the crowd began to disperse, the creatures looking for areas to rest.
Soon they were on their feet again, ready to embark into their journey.
The puppets took up their posts and performed ording to their assignments. They behaved as
ordinary people living the same old mundane lives.
All the creatures who hailed from the outside regarded these human-like puppets with ill-concealed
fascination.
"Ha-ha! So this is the Primordial Road! I never expected that I would have the chance to enter this
legendary ancient road of trial by ident! What good luck!"
"This could be the chance for me to rise as a great cultivator!"
They were bubbling with energy and excitement, marveling at their good fortune for participating on this
quest, all of them keen on undertaking the trials thaty ahead.
That being said, everyone was of amon mind to seek some rest in Layne Lu City first.
The tests on the Primordial Road were very important; the adventurers naturally thought it best to
condition themselves beforehand so they could be at their full capacity.
Not to mention that there were a good number of treasures to be found within the city.
Most of the creatures were in no hurry to leave the city for fear of passing up the chances of obtaining
the precious items.
"Let''s have a look around this city."
Austin ventured through the ancient streets, apanied by Violet and the others. They explored with
open curiosity, discovering shops selling spiritual herbs, pills of magic power, and magic treasures.
The Heavenly Majestic Pot, on the other hand, stayed behind in the ve Tower. Being a magic
treasure as well, its presence was easily recognizable to cultivators, especially those from the Divine
Sect.
"It''s the Flower of Law. I want to trade it with a piece of special immortal metal."
Inside a herb shop, a handsome young man was talking animatedly with the salesman. There was an
excited glint to the customer''s eyes.
Then from one of his sleeves he pulled out a cloud of bright light as big as a fist. In the center of the
light cloud was a live dragon, swimming and roaring ceaselessly. Beneath its ws, the clouds parted
in auspicious colors.
But that was not all. To the amazement of the bystanders, the dragon soon transformed into a majestic
phoenix, then into a white tiger, then a mysterious turtle, then a kirin, and then into many other divine
beasts
"It is indeed the immortal metal!" came the murmurs among the spectators.
A good number of them recognized the value of the light cloud that the handsome young man
possessed. They gaped at it with barely hidden avarice.
Even the creatures who had no deep knowledge of the immortal metal could tell that it was extremely
precious. It was obviously something extraordinary. They, too, wore expressions of greed and desire in
their faces.
Alongside the young man stood three earth immortals, and they gave off terrifying auras of energy.
At this point everyone had already realized who this young man was. He was the smartest sessor in
the Divine Sect.
The current leader of the Divine Sect was said to have chosen a dozen sessors. This young man
before them was the most excellent among them, and was undoubtedly the most favored by their
current leader. Spections were already going around that the leader of the Divine Sect intended to
cultivate this young man and choose him as the next leader.
Austin was familiar with him as well. Not too long ago, he and the Heavenly Majestic Pot had schemed
to capture this young man.
Three powerful earth immortals were guarding him constantly, however, sticking to his side no matter
where he went. They never could find an opportune moment to set things in motion, and eventually
gave up on their ns.
"This piece of immortal metal is quite equal to the Flower of Law in value," the shop clerk mused. "Fine,
then. We can trade."
He took the light cloud from the young master, and handed him the Flower of Law in return.
The immortal metal was the ultimate material used for refining all top magic treasures in the world. It
was peerless in value.
In another corner of the store, Austin witnessed a core disciple from a powerful sect trade a Legendary
Dragon Fruit with an equally impressive treasure.
Judging by the treasures they kept whipping out for trade, it soon became apparent that the core
disciples of the strong sects were ridiculously wealthy.
"What?!" the gnome suddenly eximed from the streets. "That is an Ancient Spatial Fruit!" In the next
moment he was bounding into another herb shop.
The object of his desire was a dark purple fruit sitting on the shelf. He stared at it longingly, his breath
His attention piqued at the scene that unfolded, Austin secretly extended his spiritual sense to feel the
fruit.
''This fruit contains astonishing space energy!''
"It is the Ancient Spatial Fruit," the gnome''s voice came into Austin''s mind.
"For those of our kind, this is considered as our holy fruit. It is priceless!"
"Ancient Spatial Fruit?" Austin wondered at that. "The holy fruit of your species?"
He could tell that the gnome was anxious to acquire it.
"Hey, man," Austin stepped in smoothly and asked the store attendant.
He pointed at the fruit in question.
"Name the price for this one. I want to buy it."
Before the attendant could answer, a loud ruckus ensued at the entrance of the shop.
"Everybody out! If you don''t want to die here today then get out, all of you!"
Several earth immortals marched into the shop, nking the entrance and forming a path. In waltzed a
young man wearing a cold and arrogant expression. He had his hands behind his back as he glided
pompously into the room.
Judging from the whole debacle just now, this young master must also be a core disciple from a certain
major force.
He walked up to Austin and red at him under his nose.
"Who do you think you are? You want to purchase the Ancient Spatial Fruit? Cease your foolish
ambitions! This Ancient Spatial Fruit is mine! You there, give me the price, now!"
