Chapter 14: Realm Fruit

To advance from the cultivation level of a Higher Earth Soul Immortal to that of a One-Star Heavenly Soul Immortal, one’s internal space needs to be transformed into a planetary world.
Each space seed automatically becomes a part of this planetary world.
As the saying goes, “One grain of sand equals one world”—each space seed in a planetary world is akin to a parallel dimension.
The immense amount of primordial energy required to gather countless space seeds into a planetary world is quite considerable.
Fortunately, Qu Yi had already taken control of a primordial energy vein, so he didn’t have to worry about a shortage of primordial energy when the five others reached the level of One-Star Heavenly Soul Immortals.
Qu Yi, along with Wu Yuan, continued to wander around Tianjiu Star in the Mulin Star Region, occasionally hunting for snake-type monsters.
The leaders of snake species in the Tianjiu Continent had all gone to the Void Snake Lair, thus avoiding Qu Yi’s attacks.
Since Qu Yi couldn’t kill snake monsters at the Heavenly Soul level, he had no interest in slaughtering large numbers of snake monsters at the Yuan Monster or Earth Monster level either. Therefore, he spent most of his time scanning the “Primordial Speed Path” formation inside the Tiny Realm Sphere.
Over the ten years since he took control of the primordial energy vein, Qu Yi had completed scanning the “Primordial Speed Path” formation.
The Artifact God then taught him the “Primordial Space Path” formation.
This formation contained space laws; once activated, it could generate countless parallel dimensions.
Naturally, for Qu Yi, who had already fully understood the Five Elements Space Laws, scanning the “Primordial Space Path” formation was easy and quick to comprehend, allowing him to make rapid progress.
Another fifty years passed.
Qu Yi was completely immersed in scanning the formation inside the Tiny Realm Sphere when he suddenly opened his eyes.
“Mao Yi has already arrived at Tiansu Star in the Shuiyang Star Region,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
It turned out that as soon as Mao Yi reached Tiansu Star, his spiritual consciousness vibrated, informing Qu Yi of his current situation.
Instantly, Qu Yi left the Tiny Realm Sphere and arrived on the surface of the Tianjiu Continent. He took out the Boundless Star Map and immediately traveled to Tiansu Star in the Shuiyang Star Region.
※※※
Tiansu Star in the Shuiyang Star Region was extremely large; from space, it appeared as a huge blue disk.
The entire star region’s surface was covered by seawater.
However, there grew a special type of giant duckweed on the sea surface—each piece at least a hundred meters wide. These duckweeds connected with each other, forming twelve meridians and ten parallels that spanned the entire planet.
At that moment, Qu Yi arrived at the equatorial parallel, where there was a duckweed island hundreds of kilometers wide, known as the Free Island.

On the entire Tian Suo Star, only Freedom Island allows monsters from other planets to live; all other places are habitats for the monsters of Tian Suo Star. Naturally, the Teleportation Hall on Tian Suo Star is also located on this Freedom Island. As soon as Mao Yi arrived on Freedom Island, he went to a remote area and waited for Qu Yi to come. Now, he had finally waited long enough. “Mao Yi, you’ve worked hard,” Qu Yi said with a smile as he appeared. “Master, it’s my honor,” Mao Yi replied respectfully. Qu Yi nodded, his eyes shining, and said, “Mao Yi, your soul realm has reached that of a lower-level Earth Soul Monster. Now I’ll take you to a place where you can raise your cultivation to that level.” Hearing this, Mao Yi’s face lit up with joy. Immediately afterward, Qu Yi sent Mao Yi to the primordial spiritual vein in the Baolong Sect, allowing him to successfully advance in cultivation. Then, Qu Yi returned to Freedom Island. Qu Yi stood on a patch of duckweed. “Qu Yi, this Freedom Island is a hundred kilometers wide, and there are as many as a million monsters from other planets here, all hoping to trade for the treasures of the monsters in Tian Suo Star’s oceans.” “There are four ruling races among the monster species in Tian Suo Star’s oceans: the Electric Eel Race, the Whirlpool Fish Race, the Water-Scraping Lobster Race, and the Sea Rat Race.” “Tian Suo Star’s primordial spiritual vein is located beneath an underwater mountain range and is jointly managed by the four ruling races.” “…” The Artifact God’s consciousness could sense the entire Tian Suo Star and was now transmitting what it had discovered to Qu Yi. “Stop, Artifact God. Tell me where that primordial spiritual vein is, and I’ll go there,” Qu Yi said calmly. The treasure Qu Yi needed most right now was the primordial spiritual vein. The Artifact God remained silent for a while, seemingly angry, before saying, “No sense of courtesy at all. Fine, I’ll tell you. The entrance to that primordial spiritual vein is right beneath this Freedom Island.” Qu Yi was surprised. “In that case, I don’t need to fly across Tian Suo Star. I’ll dive straight into the primordial spiritual vein now,” Qu Yi said with a smile. The Artifact God remained silent, thus approving of Qu Yi’s plan. Immediately afterward, Qu Yi entered the Dimension Sphere and controlled it to descend. After a hundred thousand miles, the Dimension Sphere finally reached the seabed beneath the shadows, touching a piece of land—specifically, the summit of an underwater mountain range. Inside the Dimension Sphere, Qu Yi’s divine consciousness could also sense the outside situation. Two giant fish with strange shapes swam over. These fish were thousands of meters long, with each scale on their bodies featuring a spiral pattern. As they moved, whirlpools formed in the seawater around them.

The Whirlpool Fish Tribe.
“Mo Guo, have you heard? Our Whirlpool Fish Tribe has discovered a secret underwater realm where a World-Heaven Fruit tree grows. It’s said that several fruits of achievement have already ripened on it,” transmitted the slightly larger Whirlpool Fish demon.
“I just heard about it too. It’s said that eating the World-Heaven Fruit can allow one to quickly comprehend a world force,” replied the Whirlpool Fish named Mo Guo.
“Unfortunately, our tribe has already leaked this news. After the Electric Eel Tribe, the Water-Clawing Lobster Tribe, and the Sea Rat Tribe found out, they demanded that the four tribes go together to break into the secret realm and share the World-Heaven Fruit.”
“Sigh, it seems we two won’t get a chance after all.”
……
The two Whirlpool Fish demons thought their conversation wouldn’t be overheard, but how could they know there was someone as amazing as the Artifact God in this world?
The Artifact God seemed naturally proficient in the path of the soul and had already listened to the entire conversation between the two Whirlpool Fish. He immediately relayed it to Qu Yi.
Upon hearing this, Qu Yi showed signs of excitement.
“Artifact God, I must obtain this World-Heaven Fruit,” Qu Yi said firmly.
At present, among the five sovereigns, only the Gold Sovereign had comprehended the power of the Metal World Force. The Wood Sovereign, Water Sovereign, Fire Sovereign, and Earth Sovereign were very close to comprehending their respective world forces but had not yet truly grasped them. Naturally, Qu Yi wanted to speed up their progress.
“First, take control of the origin celestial vein of this Tian Su Star,” came the Artifact God’s calm voice.
Qu Yi nodded and immediately used the Tiny Realm Ball to continue flying underwater.
※※※
The underwater mountains were vast and boundless.
In the middle of the mountains, between two towering peaks, there was a natural underwater cave entrance from which origin energy continuously erupted. Bubbles the size of human heads rose from the entrance.
This entrance was the entry point to the origin celestial vein.
Near the entrance, four large palaces had been built, each housing an ocean demon of the Heavenly Soul Demon level—belonging to the Electric Eel Tribe, the Whirlpool Fish Tribe, the Water-Clawing Lobster Tribe, and the Sea Rat Tribe.
The Tiny Realm Ball, like a grain of sand underwater, followed the ocean currents and entered the entrance of the origin celestial vein.
Naturally, the master defenders of the four tribes did not notice the Tiny Realm Ball.
After entering the origin celestial vein cave, the Tiny Realm Ball flew straight toward its deepest part. It took nearly three days for it to reach the farthest depths.
“Artifact God, how many spirit beings are there in this origin celestial vein cave?” Qu Yi asked gently from his soft chair.
“Six hundred,” came the Artifact God’s lazy reply.

Upon hearing this, Qu Yi bit his lip, looking somewhat dissatisfied. “Only six hundred? That means it can only be used to help Jin Zun improve his cultivation level.” Qu Yi was far from satisfied. To rise from an upper-tier Soul Immortal to a one-star Heavenly Soul Immortal, at least five hundred Spirit Essences are needed to help them quickly gather primordial energy and advance in cultivation. “Don’t be dissatisfied. For a demon beast to reach the level of a one-star Heavenly Soul Demon, even if it stays in the Primordial Vein Cave, it would take ten years to complete the cultivation process. With the help of these six hundred Spirit Essences, any one of the Five Lords can break through in just one year,” explained the God of Tools with a smile. Qu Yi’s expression improved slightly. “Alright, I’ll go bring over the Spirit Sky Tree now,” Qu Yi said with a smile. Immediately afterward, he left the Dimensional Sphere and threw a Soul Compass into the cave, then activated the Boundless Stars to travel to the Primordial Vein Cave on Tianjiu Star in the Mulin Star System. “Spirit Sky, I’m here!” Qu Yi shouted loudly as he appeared. Soon, the tall red Spirit Sky Tree trembled, its leaves seeming to warmly welcome Qu Yi’s return. “Qu Yi, you’re back. Is there anything you need my help with?” the tree’s core transmitted its thoughts. By now, after absorbing countless amounts of primordial energy, the Spirit Sky Tree had already reached the strength of a three-star Heavenly Soul Immortal. Qu Yi looked at the tree and said, “Spirit Sky, I’ve found another Primordial Vein. Please go help me catch Spirit Essences now.” The tree’s branches and leaves trembled again. “Okay, I’ll go with you right away,” the tree’s core replied cheerfully. Immediately, the Spirit Sky Tree shrank to ten meters in size, with all its roots retracted into the trunk, waiting for Qu Yi to put it back into the Dimensional Sphere. Qu Yi laughed heartily and promptly placed the tree inside the sphere. Before long, using the Boundless Stars, Qu Yi returned to the Primordial Vein Cave on Tiansu Star. Naturally, he skillfully released the Spirit Sky Tree from the Dimensional Sphere, allowing it to grow inside the cave. The ten-meter-tall tree immediately grew to a thousand meters tall, standing there with a dazzling red glow in the Primordial Vein Cave. Seeing this, Qu Yi said, “Spirit Sky, wait here. When those Spirit Essences gather around you, let me know.” “I understand. Just wait for good news from me,” the tree’s core replied excitedly. With experience from catching Spirit Essences before, the tree’s core now enjoyed doing this task greatly.

Qu Yi nodded and then smiled, saying, “I’ll leave this place to the Spirit Tree. I’ll head to that underwater secret realm now to search for the Realm Sky Fruit.” With that, Qu Yi vanished in a flash.
