Chapter 5177: Greedy for the Immortal Fruit

The lightning outside the divine tribulation immortal fruit was naturally the power of heavenly thunder.

After consuming the divine tribulation immortal fruit, one would immediately undergo nine tribulations.

Upon successfully undergoing the tribulations, Xiao Fan's Realm could become the fifth level of the Emperor Realm.

Of course.

The probability of success after consuming the divine tribulation immortal fruit was also very slim.

Feeling the aura of the divine tribulation immortal fruit, everyone around was astonished.

"This… is this the legendary divine tribulation immortal fruit?"

"What a powerful aura! So strong!"

"Isn't it? This is the divine tribulation immortal fruit!"

"Nine tribulations! If successful, it's a fortune that transforms one's very being!"

"…"

Top Prodigies like Lang Wujie, Mo Xiao, and Huang Wudi all looked at the box in Xiao Fan's hand with expressions of longing.

If any one of them obtained the divine tribulation immortal fruit and successfully refined it, they would undergo an earth-shaking transformation.

"Hehehe… This is the divine tribulation immortal fruit. Whether you use it later is entirely up to you," Holy Lord Kongchen said with a smile.

"Understood," Xiao Fan nodded heavily.

The effect of the divine tribulation immortal fruit was astounding, but the risk of failure was also great; once failed, it would mean death and the dissipation of one's Dao.

Of course.

Xiao Fan had the immortal core in his possession, which could withstand three Heavenly Tribulations at a critical moment.

Holy Lord Kongchen likely didn't even know about this.

However, Xiao Fan planned to use the immortal core to summon the tenth Heavenly Tribulation; unless absolutely necessary, he would not use the power of the immortal core.

After Lang Wujie regained his senses, he gritted his teeth and spoke: "Hehehe… So what if he got the divine tribulation immortal fruit? The probability of undergoing the tribulation is slim. With his foundation, it's impossible to succeed. If he consumes the divine tribulation immortal fruit, he will surely die and his Dao will dissipate."

Hearing Lang Wujie's words, many people nodded noncommittally.

Indeed.

Without a powerful background as support, it was almost impossible to successfully refine the divine tribulation immortal fruit, with a success rate of perhaps less than one in ten thousand.

Faced with such a success rate, no one believed Xiao Fan would succeed.

Naturally, Xiao Fan did not reveal that he had the immortal core. With a smile on his face, he walked up to Old Ancestor Qingyun and the others.

"The item is mine… My apologies for the previous promise." Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly.

Previously, Xiao Fan and Old Ancestor Qingyun had agreed that after receiving the rewards from the Ten Thousand Year Grand Ceremony, a portion would be given to Qingyun Academy.

But now, there was only one divine tribulation immortal fruit, so Xiao Fan certainly wouldn't give it to Old Ancestor Qingyun.

If Old Ancestor Qingyun was willing, Xiao Fan would provide other resources to Qingyun Academy as compensation.

"Hahaha… You're too polite. We're all on the same side." Old Ancestor Qingyun spoke with a smile.

In Old Ancestor Qingyun's eyes, Xiao Fan had a limitless future, and befriending him now was definitely the right move.

Furthermore, judging by Holy Ancestor Kongchen's previous attitude toward Xiao Fan, their relationship was certainly unusual.

Moreover, if Xiao Fan refined the divine tribulation immortal fruit and succeeded, he could Breakthrough to the fifth level of the Emperor Realm.

At that time, with Xiao Fan's strength, even he—no, not just one of him, but even thousands upon thousands of him—would not be a match for Xiao Fan.

By giving the divine tribulation immortal fruit to Xiao Fan now, the reputation that Qingyun Academy wanted had already been achieved.

Furthermore, the Kongchen Holy Land would provide separate rewards to Qingyun Academy later, which would be sufficient for them.

Old Ancestor Qingyun intended to curry favor with Xiao Fan, as Qingyun Academy might have to rely on him in the future.

"Alright, that's for the best." Xiao Fan nodded.

Xiao Fan was naturally pleased that Old Ancestor Qingyun was so sensible.

Afterward, many experts from second-rate forces came forward to Old Ancestor Qingyun to offer their congratulations.

Although Qingyun Academy had offended top forces like the Ancient Wolf Immortal Clan, the Ancient Demon God Clan, and the Kongtong Immortal Clan, who could say for sure what would happen in the future?!

Besides, the Star Academy was still there; if the Star Academy was willing to protect Qingyun Academy, the outcome remained uncertain.

Old Ancestor Qingyun was all smiles at the congratulations from various experts.

At this moment, he was in a great mood; after the decline of Qingyun Academy, this was the first time in many years he had experienced such a feeling.

"Dad, how does this divine tribulation immortal fruit feel?" Xiao Qing asked with a smile.

"Feel? I haven't refined it yet, so I don't know how it feels." Xiao Fan smiled.

"Once Dad successfully refines it, then…" Xiao Xuan glanced toward the Kongtong Immortal Clan.

Xiao Xuan was very interested in the Immortal Seal of the Kongtong Immortal Clan, as the Cultivation Technique Ye Miaoyin Cultivates seemed to be related to the Kongtong Immortal Clan.

Xiao Fan saw through Xiao Xuan's thoughts at a glance; in fact, he had the same idea.

It was just that right now, he couldn't threaten the Kongtong Immortal Clan at all and had to wait until his strength improved.

At this time, Xiao Fan felt many gazes from around him looking at him strangely.

Xiao Fan scanned his surroundings and saw deep greed in their eyes.

Xiao Fan smiled, knowing what they were thinking.

They must want the divine tribulation immortal fruit he was carrying.

This was Kongchen Imperial City, so they certainly wouldn't dare to act directly; as for later, Xiao Fan wasn't sure.

However, Xiao Fan would not give them that time.
