Moreover, Yang Qi did contribute a lot in this operation. Although he did not directly participate in the battle, his contribution was definitely not less than Chu Hong and Wu Tian. If Yang Qi had not been in charge of the fight for the spiritual fruit, some of them might have died. If Yang Qi had not recognized the origin of the Red Cloud Snake Fruit and told them how to obtain it, they might have returned empty-handed.
Therefore, everyone thought it was natural for Yang Qi to get an extra spiritual fruit. After all, in this operation, Yang Qi's role was even greater than that of Chu Hong and Wu Tian.
Chu Hong distributed the Red Cloud Snake Fruits and chuckled, "Everyone is exhausted after the battle just now. Let's rest here for a while before leaving."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads. Although the battle had not lasted long, it was a fight with a giant snake that had the combat power of a late-stage nine-star martial master. No one dared to be careless. Not only were they tense and focused, but their energy consumption was also considerable.
In this battle, Yang Qi did not consume much energy, and he just served as a protector for everyone. However, everyone was not injured, so they recovered quickly. In less than half an incense stick of time, the practitioners finished their rest one after another.
Chu Hong came to Yang Qi and said, "Yang Qi, this time it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't recognized the Red Cloud Snake Fruit, we would have returned empty-handed."
"I just happen to know the Red Cloud Snake Fruit." Yang Qi said with a calm smile.
Hearing this, Chu Hong smiled without comment. Before, the practitioners from the three cultivation worlds acted together. There were dozens of top geniuses from the three cultivation worlds, but only Yang Qi recognized the origin of the Red Cloud Snake Fruit. This was not just a coincidence.
Chu Hong himself was born into a royal family, and there was also a Dan Zun like Chu Li. Before entering the Martial Emperor Secret Realm, he had made up for a lot of knowledge about natural treasures, but he still could not recognize the Red Cloud Snake Fruit, which shows how extraordinary the Red Cloud Snake Fruit is.
However, every practitioner has his or her own secrets, and Chu Hong and Yang Qi have only known each other for a short time, so it would be a bad idea to ask too many questions about this matter.
“Red Cloud Snake Fruit is a relatively rare spiritual fruit. It is usually grown in areas where real dragons live, but I didn’t expect it to appear here.” Yang Qi said in a deep voice. The reason why he knew about Red Cloud Snake Fruit was because of the inherited memory of Emperor Haoyang.
The Red Cloud Snake Fruit is the predecessor of the Blood Cloud Dragon Fruit. It is rumored that if the Red Cloud Snake Fruit is continuously cultivated and eighty-one snake fruits are produced, and then watered with the blood of a real dragon, it can transform into the Blood Cloud Dragon Fruit, which is a spiritual fruit that is helpful to real dragons!
"A real dragon?"
Chu Hong was stunned for a moment, but then he shook his head and said, "There can't be a real dragon in the secret realm. Once a real dragon reaches adulthood, it will be at the Martial King level. The Cangqiong Palace has briefly investigated the secret realm before, and there are no creatures at the Martial King level in the secret realm!"
Yang Qi nodded slightly. The possibility of a real dragon in the secret realm was zero. After all, if there was a Martial King, they would be sending themselves to death if they came in. It was impossible for the Sky Palace to not investigate this. Otherwise, if they asked the eighty-one cultivation worlds under its command to send talented practitioners in, it would be a way to make enemies with the cultivation worlds under its command. The Sky Palace would never do that.
“In that case, the Red Cloud Snake Fruit should have been transplanted.” Yang Qi said in a deep voice. Could it be that the owner of the secret realm intends to cultivate the Blood Cloud Dragon Fruit
Even though a Martial Emperor has a lifespan of hundreds of thousands of years, it is not easy to cultivate the Blood Cloud Dragon Fruit. Moreover, according to the inherited memory of Emperor Haoyang, the Blood Cloud Dragon Fruit has no effect at all on practitioners in the Martial Emperor Realm.
"Is it just a casual thing?"
Yang Qi said secretly, apart from this explanation, he really couldn't think of why such a rare spiritual fruit would appear in the secret realm.
At this moment, Wu Tian, who was not far away, also rushed over and looked at Yang Qi and asked, "Junior Brother Yang, which direction do you think we should go next?"
After this incident, both Chu Hong and Wu Tian regarded Yang Qi as a peer. Even when it came to the actions of the entire team, they were willing to discuss and decide with Yang Qi.
"Which direction are we heading?" Yang Qi's eyes narrowed, and he immediately looked towards the center of the secret realm, and said in a deep voice, "Of course, we are heading towards the center of the secret realm, but..."
"But what?" Chu Hong looked at Yang Qi.
Yang Qi's face darkened as he said, "We are only at the outermost edge of the secret realm, and we have encountered a monster with strength comparable to that of a late Martial Honored. If we were in the center of the secret realm, the danger there would definitely be even greater. There might even be a monster at the peak of Martial Honored."
The hall they had entered before was located at the outermost edge of the secret realm, but even here, they had encountered a monster with strength comparable to that of a late-stage Nine-Star Martial Honor practitioner. If it was the central area of the secret realm, he would not find it strange even if a late-stage Nine-Star Martial Honor or even a peak-level Martial Honor monster appeared.
After hearing Yang Qi's words, Chu Hong and Wu Tian couldn't help but fall silent. Not only Yang Qi noticed this, but Chu Hong and Wu Tian also realized that the danger of the secret realm itself was much greater than they had expected.
Although it won't leave them completely powerless to resist, it will definitely not be as easy as in the Purple Emperor Secret Realm. You must know that the strongest monster in the Purple Emperor Secret Realm is only at the Martial Honor Realm.
This is probably the reason why the owner of the secret realm left a palace to prohibit fighting and set up a protective formation. If you cannot resist, you can hide in the palace to save your life, but in this way, the opportunity will be gone.
"Now that we're here, how can we be willing not to fight?" Wu Tian said in a deep voice.
It won't be too difficult for the geniuses present here to reach the peak of Martial Honor and impact the Martial King realm in the future. However, geniuses at their level will never be content with just having the opportunity to impact the Martial King realm. What they want is to step into the Martial King realm, or even go further!
This is why they are willing to take the risk of entering the Martial Emperor Secret Realm!
If one gives up just because there may be danger ahead, with such a mentality, how can one pursue the path to the pinnacle of martial arts
"Brother Wu is right. Now that I'm here, I'm already prepared." Chu Hong said with a calm smile.
Yang Qi nodded slightly. This was also the reason why he entered the Martial Emperor Secret Realm. The practitioners who chose to come in were all geniuses who were not content with being in the Martial Honor Realm!
Yang Qi said in a deep voice, "Although there are dangers ahead, there are also huge opportunities. However, we need to be more careful. The previous actions have reminded us that it is never too careful when encountering something we don't understand."
Hearing this, Chu Hong and the others were slightly startled, and then nodded solemnly.
The reason why practitioners from Wu Ping and Tao Cheng's teams died before was, after all, because they were too careless and greedy. Yang Qi had already retreated at that time, and they would not suffer any loss if they followed him, but the two still chose to continue fighting for the spiritual fruit, and thus died.
There are too many things they don't understand in the secret realm left by the Martial Emperor Realm masters. If they are greedy and careless, the two practitioners who died before will serve as a warning to them! (To be continued)
