2513 Red Thorn’s Fury!
From Hollow Earth, Mountain Furrow, and Rock Underworld’s descriptions, Lin Yuan learned that the Earth’s Sacred Fruit did not have any impressive capabilities.
It was only able to control the three of them because of its nectar. The three of them only found it difficult to break free of its control after they consumed its nectar numerous times.
Before that, the Earth’s Sacred Fruit was nothing more than a treasure that the three of them had discovered.
If the three of them had known that the Earth’s Sacred Fruit could take control of them, they would never have used so many resources to nurture it!
The Earth’s Sacred Fruit needed earth-elemental energy in order to ripen. Lin Yuan had as much earth-elemental energy as he wanted. After he took control of the Earth’s Sacred Fruit, he could enable it to ripen rapidly.
“The three of you need earth-elemental energy as well, but you’ve given it all to the Earth’s Sacred Fruit. Will the Earth’s Sacred Fruit really be able to help you to break through past the Samsara Realm?”
Mountain Furrow, who had yet to say much, spoke. “When we first discovered the Earth’s Sacred Fruit, it was just a seedling that had just sprouted from the bottom of the Mine-Birthing Well.
“At that time, I sensed the energy within the Earth’s Sacred Fruit and believed it could refine and purify the source-type power in our bodies. That’s why we willingly fed the earth-elemental energy to the Earth’s Sacred Fruit, which wasn’t easy to come by.
“However, when it flowered, and we consumed its nectar for the first time, we suddenly realized that its energy could elevate our levels and increase our body’s capacity for source-type power.
“As we absorbed more nectar, the effects grew stronger, and we began pinning our hopes on breaking through the Samsara Realm with the help of the Earth’s Sacred Fruit. But all those hopes vanished when we realized we had fallen under its control.
“With its intelligence, the Earth’s Sacred Fruit would never feed its fruit to us after it bears fruit. The Earth’s Sacred Fruit has already reached pinnacle Turning Wheel Realm despite having yet to bear fruit. Once it bears fruit, it will probably reach intermediate Samsara Realm! I think the Earth’s Sacred Fruit sees us as the fertilizer that will help it increase its power.”
Mountain Furrow did not hide anything and told Lin Yuan everything he had experienced and thought.
Lin Yuan had already torn the Earth Ancestral Palace to ruin and saved all of the Turning Wheel Realm experts who had been within.
The Abyss Red Lotus’ roots broke through the door to the hole in the ground, and a dark space opened up in front of Lin Yuan.
Eternal Source said, “Lord, let me bring the Earth’s Sacred Fruit to you!”
Eternal Source always thought that the Earth’s Sacred Fruit was very strong. He never expected it to only be pinnacle Turning Wheel Realm.
When the hole in the ground was revealed, Eternal Source immediately sensed the Earth’s Sacred Fruit’s aura.
Mountain Furrow had not lied. The Earth’s Sacred Fruit was indeed a pinnacle Turning Wheel Realm lifeform.
Lin Yuan shook his head when he heard what Eternal Source said.
“The Earth’s Sacred Fruit might still be hiding tactics that are unknown to us. We can’t let our guard down. Let Red Thorn go. This way, you won’t be hurt by any possible dangers.”
By the time Lin Yuan was done speaking, Red Thorn had already flown into the hole in the ground.
This was the first time that Eternal Source had felt Lin Yuan’s concern for him. It was a strange yet touching feeling.
It was true that the safest course of action was to use the Abyss Great Emperor to check first.
Eternal Source understood the situation, but Hollow Earth, Rock Underworld, Mountain Furrow, and the other Turning Wheel Realm Dictators of the subterranean world had no clue. They saw it as Lin Yuan showing favor to these two experts above the Samsara Realm.
This made them believe that Eternal Source was Lin Yuan’s most favored subordinate.
It also allowed the Dictators to know that the best course of action would be to gain Lin Yuan’s favor!
Lin Yuan anticipated that his words would cause his subordinates to feel this way. He did this because managing the top experts of the dimensional world was different from managing other units.
When it came to managing other units, he only needed to maintain fairness. However, this approach would be ineffective against the dimensional worlds’ Dictators because they had different levels of power. Powerful Dictators would never submit to Dictators who were weaker than them.
Lin Yuan’s style of management was to reward those who contributed.
There were many leaders who used this style of management but ended up failing to satisfy their subordinates because they lacked sufficient resources.
However, Lin Yuan did not have to worry about resources.
Lin Yuan only needed heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls to reward the dimensional worlds’ Samsara Realm Dictators.
As the concentration of spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone increased, the Elemental Shellfish produced elemental pearls much faster.
If not for the Elemental Shellfish’s high production rate, the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope would not be as busy as it was.
Lin Yuan had been right to be worried. The Abyss Great Emperor smelled a sickly sweet odor immediately after entering the hole.
The Earth’s Sacred Fruit’s two red flowers that were smaller than a palm were exerting a lot of effort into secreting nectar to tempt the Abyss Great Emperor.
The Earth’s Sacred Fruit had no clue that its technique of luring another to ruin made Red Thorn furious.
Red Thorn felt glad that it had controlled the Abyss Great Emperor to enter the hole first.
If Lin Yuan entered the hole and saw the shameless red flowers, his eyes would be tainted!
As a fairy that was transformed from a plant-type source-type lifeform, flowers were sacred to Red Thorn.
Red Thorn’s furiously ordered the Abyss Great Emperor to jump into the Mine-Birthing Well and seek out the Earth’s Sacred Fruit’s roots.
Red Thorn ordered the Abyss Great Emperor to dig out the Earth’s Sacred Fruit’s fruits before using fire to burn up all of the nectar secreted by the Earth’s Sacred Fruit.
It saw that there was a large pool of water next to the Earth’s Sacred Fruit and was afraid that it would still carry the nectar’s residual scent.
