Chapter 696: Bohan Island Lord Who Couldn’t Enter

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

Upon seeing this scene, Qin Yun instantly knew that no one wanted to compromise.

Everyone was willing to negotiate when faced with other treasures since even Connate Cardinal treasures were not enough to make them go crazy, especially so for Qin Yun and Hou Yi. Even the weaker Kong Xuan and Goumang were nearing the half-step Heavenly Dao realm. Having an additional Connate Cardinal treasure… could be used firstly to study the Great Dao, but also to have more means available to them. Their strength would only increase slightly, without any qualitative change.

However, the divine fruits were different.

A Spirit Enlightening Fruit could allow one to have an epiphany!

The Chaos Origins Fruit… could cultivate a second avatar without affecting the main body. If both main body and avatar joined forces, one’s strength would be greater! Furthermore, it was an additional life.

These two divine fruits had value far above that of Connate Cardinal treasures. There was probably no way of obtaining them again if they missed this opportunity. After all, these divine fruits were legendary in the spatial tide. Qin Yun and company had also promised never to enter this valley again.

All of them present were prideful people. Kong Xuan, who had the title of Mahamayuri, was well known to be very tyrannical. Later in life, he was subdued by Buddhist Ancestor Gautama, which eased his foul temper. Hou Yi was an extremely lonesome person. If Qin Yun’s sword array had not been able to withstand his ninth arrow, he would not have agreed to come. Goumang had always been cultivating in the Chaos and could tolerate long periods of loneliness. Naturally, he had an intense desire for the Great Dao. Wasn’t the reason for his multiple entries into the spatial tide to obtain such great opportunities? Qin Yun’s life was threatened by the Itinerant Immortal tribulations! As a sword immortal, how could he easily forgo the fruit?

“We go according to our earlier agreement.” Hou Yi swept his gaze and said via a voice transmission, “The treasures obtained in Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley will be split into three. Qin Yun and I will each obtain one. The remaining will be split equally among Brother Kong Xuan and Brother Goumang. And since there are only two Spirit Enlightening Fruits, which Qin Yun and I both need, we will each take one… Do the both of you have any problems with that?”

Kong Xuan and Goumang exchanged looks.

Indeed, it wasn’t easy for them to vie for more if Hou Yi and Qin Yun were unwilling to give the fruits up.

“The allocation of the divine fruits has to be split more fairly,” said Goumang with a smile.

“Let’s do it this way,” said Hou Yi. “The Spirit Enlightening Fruit will be valued as four Soul Heart Fruits. The Chaos Origins Fruit will be valued at three Soul Heart Fruits. What’s your opinion of that?”

“Alright.”

“We shall go by that valuation.”

Qin Yun, Goumang, and Kong Xuan nodded slightly.

“Then, I’ll take a Spirit Enlightening Fruit, a Chaos Origins Fruit, and five Soul Heart Fruits,” said Hou Yi. “Qin Yun will do the same as well! Brother Kong Xuan and Goumang, they will each obtain a Chaos Origins Fruit and three Soul Heart Fruits. As such, it will be considered fair.”

“It’s indeed fair

Qin Yun nodded.

By that count, it was equivalent to him obtaining twelve Soul Heart Fruits.

“Let’s split it in such a manner. If anyone has anything else they want, it can be done through one-on-one exchange,” said Hou Yi. Following that, he waved his hand and produced numerous floating divine fruits. They flew separately to Qin Yun, Goumang, and Kong Xuan. By the side, Palatial Lord Myriad Flower looked at the divine fruits covetously, but all he could do was grumble inwardly.

Qin Yun happily stored his away.

“With these divine fruits, my chances of transcending the Itinerant Immortal tribulation will be increased,” thought Qin Yun. “I will have a chance of obtaining true immortality. I can be with Xiaoxiao forever, as well as teach Huan’er, Yiyi, Yuluo, and the rest.”

If one could live, who would wish to die?

Even Qin Yun looked forward to eternal life.

After Kong Xuan stored away the divine fruits, his heart stirred as he asked Qin Yun, “Brother Qin Yun, are you willing to exchange one Chaos Origins Fruit with three of my Soul Heart Fruits?”

Qin Yun was taken aback.

A Chaos Origins Fruit could allow him to risk his life when transcending the tribulations once.

With three Soul Heart Fruits, he could risk it thrice!

However, a Chaos Origins Fruit… was equivalent to having a second life!

“My strength is this high only because of my Intrinsic Flying Sword,” thought Qin Yun. “Even if I possess a second avatar, it would be much weaker than my main body without the Misty Rain Sword. Furthermore, with three Soul Heart Fruits, I would have greater help transcending the tribulation. Regardless… transcending the tribulation and surviving is of utmost importance.”

“I wish to change too,” Goumang said immediately. “Brother Qin Yun, are you willing to do the exchange?”

“Both of you…” Qin Yun laughed in exasperation. “According to what Palatial Lord Myriad Flower said, this Chaos Origins Fruit can only be used once to cultivate a second avatar. Consuming more wouldn’t result in a third avatar.”

Goumang said with a smile, “Even if we don’t use it, we can also obtain immense benefits by selling them to other cultivators.”

Kong Xuan nodded. “My strength mainly stems from my divine power domain. The Soul Heart Fruits provide me with little help. If I were to bring these to the Three Realms, perhaps people like the Ancestral Dragon would be fervently hoping to obtain one Chaos Origins Fruit.”

Qin Yun was enlightened.

The Ancestral Dragon was physically powerful, but the typical means of cultivating an avatar in the Three Realms would damage one’s body. It also inflicted damage to one’s perceptivity and other aspects; therefore, many mighty figures were unwilling to cultivate an avatar.

However, the Chaos Origins Fruit would not deal any damage to the main body.

If the Ancestral Dragon were to obtain an avatar as powerful as he was, it was something he would rabidly covet even if he needed to expend large amounts of treasures to do so.

“I’m willing to exchange,” said Qin Yun. “But if both of you wish to exchange with me, who should I choose?”

“I was the first one to make the request,” said Kong Xuan immediately.

“But Brother Qin Yun did not agree to it,” said Goumang immediately.

“Discuss among yourselves first.” Qin Yun smiled. He did not need to say things like “the item goes to the highest bidder!” since the two could only produce three Soul Heart Fruits.

Kong Xuan and Goumang exchanged voice transmissions and discussed for quite a long while. It left the stone serpent who was waiting a distance away a little impatient. However, it suppressed its impatience.

“Do the exchange with me.” Kong Xuan looked at Qin Yun. “I have come to an agreement with Brother Goumang.” By the side, Goumang nodded.

Therefore…

Qin Yun did an exchange of divine fruits with Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan had two Chaos Origins Fruits, leaving Qin Yun without a single one. However, he obtained one Spirit Enlightening Fruit and eight Soul Heart Fruits! He could risk his life eight times while transcending the tribulation! All of this was in preparation for the tribulation.

“As long as I survive the tribulation, the cultivation of an avatar or other means can be dealt with slowly,” thought Qin Yun.

“Brother Hou Yi, are you willing to exchange?” Goumang looked at Hou Yi.

Hou Yi smiled faintly as he looked at Goumang. “No!”

“Can you leave now that you have split the divine fruits?” The serpent far away finally spoke.

“We shall leave now.” Hou Yi immediately laughed. Then, he steered the silver boat towards the entrance they took.

“I’ll let all of you feel smug about it. If I get the chance in the future. Hmph…” The serpent had been repressing his anger the entire time.

Outside.

The white-haired Bohan Island Lord was sitting cross-legged on a flying boat as he looked at the space ahead of him.

“I clearly saw them enter. The entrance is a space-time node.” Bohan Island Lord frowned. “But even with my array formation realm, I’m unable to crack it? I can’t figure out a single thing…”

Having thought deeply for a long time, he had failed to gain any progress. It was as if the spatial tide ahead of him was an ordinary everyday spot.

But previously, he had seen the other-universe cultivators enter with his own eyes. He knew that there was a unique node here.

“Whoosh.”

A spatial vortex appeared and a silver flying boat flew out.

“It has opened.” Bohan Island Lord was instantly delighted. He immediately waved his hand in a bid to use his mighty powers to hold open the spatial vortex. However, the vortex repelled him, closing once the silver boat flew out.

“My powers were completely repelled. I failed to seep any of my powers in? However, I did see the array formation entrance clearly.” Bohan Island Lord’s heart sank. “The person who set up this array formation has attainments in arrays that reach the Primordial realm. His attainments are higher than mine and it contains the mystical profundity of space-time.

“Without a memento, there’s no way of gaining forceful entry.” Bohan Island Lord instantly understood this.

“Oh?”

When Qin Yun and company exited the spatial vortex on the silver boat, Kong Xuan said to Palatial Lord Myriad Flower, “Don’t worry. We will keep our word and let you leave.”

“I obviously believe all of you.” Palatial Lord Myriad Flower smiled when he suddenly paled as he shouted urgently, “It’s Bohan Island Lord!”

“Bohan Island Lord?”

Qin Yun and company were jolted to attention for they saw it too.

In the vast spatial tide, a flying boat was floating there. A white-haired man was sitting on the bow of the boat in a daze.

Following that, the white-haired man’s gaze was cast on them. His eyes were cold as he said, “Hand over the memento of Illusion Fiend Mountain Valley and I can spare your lives. You will be given safe passage.”

“Memento?”

Qin Yun exchanged looks.

The memento was now with the serpent. They had nothing of the sort.
