Lin Xuankong impressed the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree and other cultivators by conjuring a city with his magic. He then offered a jade containing a powerful cultivation technique, "Five Extremes Immortal," as a condition to participate in the trial. The Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree accepted the technique, acknowledging its complexity and value, and set the condition that if Lin Xuankong fails the trial, the jade will not be returned. She then opened the trial to the other cultivators present, inviting them to offer similar valuable items or techniques to participate and earn Celestial Destiny Fruits.

Actually, this Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree Immortal's claim about how difficult it is to condense the Celestial Destiny Fruit is merely an attempt to deceive everyone!

For someone at the Earth Immortal Realm like it, the life essence consumed by its true form to produce some Celestial Destiny Fruits is hardly worth mentioning. Moreover, each year, it can bear quite a few Celestial Destiny Fruits, most of which are gifted to those cultivators among the birds and beasts it favors on the Black Sea Star! Of course, as a cultivator of the Earth Immortal Realm, the Celestial Destiny Fruits it produces are certainly much more potent than ordinary ones, but given the large quantity, it doesn't take them too seriously... Otherwise, why would it be willing to grant Celestial Destiny Fruits to those bird leaders and such!

At present, if it can use the Celestial Destiny Fruit to acquire exquisite magic techniques that it can cultivate or other treasures, the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree would certainly be very willing and indeed quite eager... The key point being, it has already stated in advance that these exquisite magic techniques and precious treasures are merely conditions for participating in the trial. If one fails to pass the trial, these exquisite magic techniques and valuable treasures would be as good as handed over for nothing!

As for whether the people present can pass the trial... The Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree, as a strong practitioner of the Earth Immortal Realm, designed the trial in such a way that it isn't something a Transcendence Realm Cultivator can easily pass. It all comes down to who it wants to pass, will pass, and who it doesn't want to pass, simply can't pass—an Earth Immortal Realm Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree indeed has such confidence!

Therefore, asking everyone to present treasures and magic techniques as conditions to participate in the trial is simply a windfall transaction for the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree, even a deal of making something out of nothing!

And this Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree, an ancient monster living for tens of thousands of years, is evidently a cunning and deceitful character, far from being as gentle and pure as it appears!

The many cultivators present have no knowledge of these matters. Upon hearing the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree speak thus, they all showed expressions of surprise, glancing at each other, and began discussing softly.

At first, upon seeing the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree, already a powerful being of the Earth Immortal Realm, most people present had almost given up the thought of obtaining the Celestial Destiny Fruit. Not only that, upon encountering such a powerful Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree, they even started to worry about the safety of retreating!

However, events suddenly took a turn; not only did this Earth Immortal Realm Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree agree to Lin Xuankong's exchange terms, it even allowed others to consider offering treasures or magic techniques for exchange! This good news came so unexpectedly, how could everyone not be delighted!

The only issue is, whether they are the cultivators from the Middle Celestial Palace, the North Celestial Palace, or the powerful figures of the Beast Race, they racked their brains but couldn't find anything comparable to Lin Xuankong's 'Five Extremes Immortal' magic technique!

The cultivation techniques they possessed were either rough and fierce battle techniques or techniques that absorb spirit blood and life force....

After deliberating for a while, the Beast Race Ancestral Qiu Jin was the first to step out, bow towards the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree, and spoke: "The Celestial Destiny Immortal is so generous, willing to give us a chance. I, Qiu Jin, am certainly willing to give it a try. I wonder if the Celestial Destiny Immortal is interested in the Three-Flavored Gold of our Beast Race!"

After speaking, this Beast Race Ancestral took out a fist-sized chunk of scarlet metal from his bosom and handed it to the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree: "This gold is refined from the essence of a star core produced by the explosion of a massive star, weighing a staggering one hundred and eighty thousand tons. When true qi is activated, it can spontaneously manifest into any form desired by the cultivator, truly changeable!"

Such a tiny baby fist-sized metal, yet so heavy, is evidently extremely rare within this originally Absolute Spirit Little World—more precious and powerful than the materials used for the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword held by the Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing!

Of course, only a Transcendence Realm cultivator like Beast Race Ancestral Qiu Jin, at the Late Stage of the Thirteenth Layer, can effortlessly hold such terrifyingly heavy material in hand without feeling its weight. For a Transcendence Realm cultivator of the Twelfth Layer, lifting such heavy material would require at least three to four percent of true qi!

The Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree in green robes took the metal, weighed it in hand, activated Immortal Yuan to probe it closely, feeling quite satisfied internally, yet showing an expression of dissatisfaction, shaking its head and said: "I thought you Beast Race might also present strong and exquisite magic techniques for exchange, after all, you are the Beast Race Ancestral, considered a top figure in the Star River. But you can only bring forth this material! If using this material as the condition for participating in the trial, at least add two more pieces!"

Upon hearing this, Beast Race Ancestral Qiu Jin showed a look of pain on his face, hesitated for quite a while, and then had several Late Stage Thirteenth Layer strong cultivators of the Golden Horn Race behind him take out two treasured pieces of Three-Flavored Gold!

Then, Beast Race Ancestral Qiu Jin held the additional two pieces of Three-Flavored Gold and fondled them for a while, with some reluctance before handing them over to the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree, "Celestial Destiny Immortal, this kind of Three-Flavored Gold is extremely difficult to form, often found one among thousands of stars. Our Beast Race developed over tens of thousands of years, yet only collected three pieces, handed to the Celestial Destiny Immortal now. To collect another might take another ten thousand years!"

The Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree in green robes accepted the two additional pieces of Three-Flavored Gold, glanced at Beast Race Ancestral Qiu Jin, "Beast Race's power is so large, its cultivators so numerous, only three pieces collected over tens of thousands of years—how sincere does your face appear, but you might not be speaking the truth!"

Beast Race Ancestral Qiu Jin: ....

Having said that, the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree—seemingly casual but actually quite pleased—stashed the three pieces of Three-Flavored Gold into its bosom, "These three pieces of Three-Flavored Gold barely count as conditions to participate in the trial! What about the others? If still similar materials, not just three, but additional one or two pieces are needed!"

Upon hearing, numerous cultivators were somewhat taken aback.

Materials like Three-Flavored Gold are extremely precious and scarce; supposedly, only the Six Paths True Immortal Emperor possesses the Six Paths Seal crafted entirely of Three-Flavored Gold, whereas other famed magical artifacts in the Star River—even the Purple-Blue Rainbow Sword in Northern Celestial Emperor Mo Liqing's hand—merely mixed some Three-Flavored Gold, predominantly ordinary star core! Yet this Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree Immortal demands four or five blocks as conditions to participate in the trial, possibly not even achieving the goal of obtaining the Celestial Destiny Fruit!

If this Celestial Destiny Fruit—an invaluable medicinal material—hadn't vanished from the Star River and wasn't necessary as a medicinal ingredient for refining top-grade elixir, the many cultivators present, upon hearing the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree Immortal's greedy terms, would likely turn away, utterly ignoring this extremely avaricious Earth Immortal!

Over at the Middle Celestial Palace, Yang Jian'an, the Great Emperor's Chief Disciple of the Six Paths True Immortals Emperor, felt a bit bitter learning what the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree Immortal stated. He came with Xiluo's task, steadfast in obtaining the Celestial Destiny Fruit, otherwise, upon return, he would almost be unable to justify himself. The issue was, he currently lacked both the Beast Race Ancestral Qiu Jin's rare refining materials and Lin Xuankong's exquisite magic techniques.

After discussing with several Celestial Generals from the Middle Celestial Palace, Yang Jian'an, the Great Emperor's Chief Disciple of the Six Paths True Immortals Emperor, retrieved most of the Nine Derivation Elixir given to them before, returned them to the bottle, and with some trepidation approached the Celestial Destiny Fruit Tree, handing over the bottle of Nine Derivation Elixir, "Celestial Destiny Immortal, these precious elixirs called Nine Derivation Elixir, upon consumption, allow Transcendence Realm cultivators or Early Stage Earth Immortal cultivators to wield nine times their strength for an hour! If a Late Stage Twelfth Layer Transcendence Realm cultivator takes it, they could directly achieve the strength of a Mid-Grade Thirteenth Layer Transcendence Realm cultivator, if an Initial Stage Earth Immortal consumes it, they can temporarily possess the fearsome strength of an Earth Immortal First Grade Realm cultivator!"

Many North Celestial Palace cultivators, and Beast Race powerful figures, upon hearing Yang Jian'an's introduction, showed surprised expressions upon looking at the Nine Derivation Elixir.
