Not Twins

Chapter 3410

Rosetta and Catina trailed behind Jared. After traveling a little longer, they heard the buzzing sound of an arcane array.

Pillars of light materialized above the earth, converging in a radiant spectacle before ascending toward the heavens. Immediately after that, Jared saw a gigantic tree emerging from the ground.

In the blink of an eye, a dense patch of forest vanished, replaced by a humongous tree. The area surrounding the tree was burnt, utterly barren. It was as though all the nutrients in the soil had been absorbed by that tree.

The tree bore the marks of time, its leaves dry and withered, hinting at a state of decline. However, there were a few apple-sized fruits on its branches, and they seemed flawless and delectable.

It seemed as if the tree had poured all its energy into nurturing its dozen fruits, so much so that it appeared to have forsaken the rest of its form.

Gently, Jared laid his hand on the trunk. Thick celestial energy instantly flowed into his body. It was a celestial tree surging with celestial energy, forming the celestial mist around each fruit.

“There’s such a big celestial tree here with many celestial fruits! We’ve truly hit the jackpot!” Jared couldn’t help the excitement within him.

Rosetta rested her gaze upon the massive tree before her, surprised and confused. “How come we didn’t notice this tree earlier? It’s humongous enough that we could’ve seen it, but we only discovered it after getting close.”

Similarly astounded, Jares speculated, “Perhaps someone spotted this celestial tree before, and they intentionally conjured an illusion, preventing anyone from finding it.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Looking at the celestial tree, Catina said, “No. The illusion is formed by the celestial tree itself. No one knows when the Celestial Battlefield will open again, so it doesn’t make sense for anyone to conjure an illusion here. A celestial tree like this must’ve lived for at least thousands of years. It should have its own spiritual sense, so it’s capable of forming a simple illusion around it.”

“Are you saying it possesses intelligence? Incredible.” Jared looked at the tree in disbelief.

“What’s the name of this tree? And what are the fruits on its branches?” asked Rosetta curiously.

“It should be spiritual fruit. It can raise one’s cultivation level and one’s sensitivity to the environment. If Tribulator cultivators like us consume a spiritual fruit, we can easily comprehend nascence,” Catina answered.

“It’s that powerful?” Excitement danced in Rosetta’s eyes.

“I’ll pick these awesome fruits and share a few with you.” Jared turned to Rosetta gleefully. After all, Jared had already opened his nascence space and possessed multiple types of nascence. The fruits didn’t help him much.

However, it was different for Rosetta.

“Thank you, Mr. Chance,” said Rosetta cheerfully.

Just as Jared was about to climb the tree and harvest the fruits, Catina tossed him aside.

“Do you think you have a share of these fruits? Know your place,” spat Catina before she leaped onto the tree.

In a flash, Catina collected all the fruits. Jared was enraged by Catina’s aggressive act, but he dared not say anything. At that moment, he had to obey Catina to remain safe.

Rosetta was disappointed, but she still comforted Jared, “It’s fine, Mr. Chance. I don’t need the fruit.”

She was afraid Jared would feel guilty.

“Don’t worry. I’ll ask for two fruits for you. I don’t think it’ll be an issue if I ask for two since I was the one who discovered the tree.” Upon ending his sentence, he approached Catina. “There are so many fruits here, Ms. Flowers. Do you think you can share two of them with Ms. Lothian? You can have the rest, and no matter what magical items we stumble across later, I won’t fight for it with you.”
