LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 29
At the same time.
At the top of a massive Immortal Tree, a golden light orb was floating, shining brilliantly like a small sun, releasing intensely surging energy fluctuations.
Six powerful Beings stood there, their gazes filled with deep anger.
They had different appearances and were all leaders of different races.
“Damn it!”
“I never expected that after all our calculations, we’d end up being outsmarted by a White-haired Mouse!”
The leader of the Feather Race gritted his teeth.
“It’s all the fault of the fruit ripening too suddenly; we didn’t even have time to react!”
The leader of the Scale Race was furious, his lantern-sized eyes filled with resentment.
“There’s no choice; it’s now devouring the Immortal Fruit, causing the Grand Luo Immortal Tree to recognize it. During this time, we can’t act against it, or else we’ll face the tree’s wrath.”
“It looks like we can only wait for it to finish digesting the fruit. Once it does, we can work together to capture it and refine it using our secret techniques, dividing its enhanced blood and flesh into six portions. That would be fair and proper.”
“Hmph, I swear, I will make this filthy White-haired Mouse pay dearly for its gluttony!”
These six Beings were all natives of the Luotian Secret Realm, and they were the six most powerful cultivators at the Unity Stage here.
Each of their races held territories, ruling here for generations.
Now, when faced with the Grand Luo Immortal Fruit birthed by the Immortal Tree, these six races had originally planned to share it, but upon their rush here, they found themselves dumbfounded because a White-haired Mouse from who-knows-where had already swooped in!
The entire Grand Luo Immortal Fruit was devoured by this White-haired Mouse!
The leaders of the six races were infuriated and prepared to capture this mouse and torture it slowly!
“By the way, how do we deal with the invaders?”
The leader of the Stone Race spoke quietly.
His image was that of a pitch-black stone man!
“Currently, we are unsure of their strength, but as long as our six races join forces, we’ll definitely ensure this group of invaders doesn’t come back!”
The leader of the Beast Race exhaled two puffs of white mist from his nostrils, brandishing a wolf fang mace equivalent to a fifth-grade Spirit Tool, wearing a fierce expression.
They hated those Beings that intruded into their Secret Realm to plunder resources, as it significantly impacted the realm.
So, in addition to capturing that White-haired Mouse, they needed to unite against the intruders.
“Look! There’s movement!”
Buzz buzz buzz…
The golden light orb began to shrink, and its blazing light gradually faded, revealing a one-and-a-half-meter tall White-haired Mouse, completely snow-white.
The White-haired Mouse sat cross-legged like a human, opening its ruby-like eyes and revealing a satisfied grin.
It looked extremely comical.
“Go! Catch it!!”
The six leaders leaped into the air, shouting angrily.
” squeak!!!”
Sensing the killing intent sweeping toward it, the White-haired Mouse jolted awake, its round red eyes bulging in terror. With a roll, it tore through the void and fled.
“You foul mouse, don’t even think about slipping away from us!”
The leader of the Feather Race bellowed.
Its speed was also fast, feathers all over its body like sharp swords, as if ready to pierce through everything in the world.
The six leaders set up a net in the sky, determined to catch the White-haired Mouse!
Fortunately, after devouring the Grand Luo Immortal Fruit, the mouse’s cultivation level had jumped from Foundation Establishment to the early Transformation Stage, and the burst of strength it displayed far surpassed that of others at the same level.
The mouse escaped numerous dangers, making the six leaders nearly burst a vein in their rage.
Boom boom boom…
” squeak squeak!!”
The White-haired Mouse desperately broke through the encirclement and speedily dashed off into the distance.
“Damn it, chase! It’s injured and can’t last much longer!”
The six leaders shouted furiously.
In this lightning-fast chase, the White-haired Mouse’s aura gradually weakened, and a particularly gruesome wound was visible on its abdomen, with golden blood dripping down and pattering onto the ground.
“Stop fleeing, just accept your fate!”
“Since you chose to steal the Immortal Fruit, you should be prepared to be eaten by us!”
“Everyone, I suggest we get some honey syrup to make it sweeter and more delicious!”
“You do you; I’m making roasted mouse meat, heh heh!”
Behind it, voices floated into the White-haired Mouse’s ears, causing its hairs to stand on end as its little heart nearly couldn’t take it.
“Don’t! The mouse doesn’t want to be eaten! The mouse wants to live fiercely!!”
The White-haired Mouse wailed internally.
“Hmph! This should end!”
The leader of the Stone Race whispered, extending a massive hand made of rock, a terrifying force instantly spreading out to force the White-haired Mouse to stop.
Boom!
An explosion sounded.
The White-haired Mouse narrowly dodged, its eyes filled with indignation, “You nasty stone, you’re too bad!”
The other leaders of different races secretly sneered, each firing their killing moves to block the escape of the White-haired Mouse.
Boom boom boom boom~
The ground trembled as if the heavens were furious.
Facing the combined might of six perfect Unity Stage cultivators, the White-haired Mouse’s evasion was quite a rare feat.
But this was where it would end!
Bang!
The White-haired Mouse was struck as if hit by lightning, sent flying like a kite with its string cut, finally crashing into a towering giant tree.
Blood trickled from its mouth, and it gritted its teeth in pain.
“Run, huh? Why aren’t you running? Hahaha!” The leader of the Feather Race mocked.
“A dead rat dares to covet the Grand Luo Immortal Fruit! Do you know how precious it is? How dare you even think you deserve it?” The leader of the Scale Race scorned.
Legends in the Grand Luo Secret Realm say that the Grand Luo Immortal Tree would someday bear a Grand Luo Immortal Fruit, and anyone who consumes it would gain the Grand Luo Body—an invincible constitution ranking first among Immortal bodies in the Kunlun Realm!
After enduring long ages, watching hundreds of generations of leaders die, they finally got a taste of their desires by seeing the shadow of the Grand Luo Immortal Fruit.
The current six leaders couldn’t gobble it all up themselves, so they planned to share it equally, as it would birth the Grand Luo bloodline in their bodies, highly beneficial for their future cultivation.
Who would’ve thought they’d be outpaced by a White-haired Mouse?
“There’s no name written for you; why can’t the mouse eat it? Now you come blaming the mouse? The mouse truly suffers!”
The White-haired Mouse teared up, feeling wronged.
“You’re about to die and still dare to argue!”
“Watch as I skin you alive and make you regret coming to this world!”
The leader of the Stone Race’s voice rumbled like thunder, stretching out his massive hand toward the White-haired Mouse.
Feeling the overwhelming killing intent, the White-haired Mouse’s fur nearly exploded in terror. It felt completely cold, its eyes bulging in despair.
“What to do? The mouse is going to die…”
It felt weak and helpless, never imagining it would be so sought after just for casually passing by, seeing that fruit ripening from the tree, getting tempted and eating it all; how could it think this would draw the wrath of the six race leaders?
Boom!!!
Just then, a surge of terrifying might swept over.
“Who?!” The leader of the Stone Race retracted his hand in fright, uncertainty filling his voice.
The eyes of the other leaders sparkled as they entered a defensive posture.
In their view, a young man in black robes with long silver hair flowing down like a jade tree was stepping through the air with his hands clasped behind him.
“Zongzi, the energy fluctuation you mentioned, is it inside that White-haired Mouse?”
Ye Junlin’s expression turned peculiar.
[Ding, yes! This mouse just consumed the Grand Luo Immortal Fruit and has already condensed the Grand Luo Body within, holding extremely strong nurturing potential!]
[Ding, the mission to take on a disciple has been issued. If you successfully take the White-haired Mouse as a disciple, you will receive a wonderful reward!]
The system notification chimed.
Ye Junlin stroked his chin, “Grand Luo Body? Interesting.”
Since taking Hong Qianye as a cheap disciple, all the dirty work has been delegated to him, making life quite comfortable, but he still felt something was missing.
After pondering, Ye Junlin decided he needed a pet.
Just right, this White-haired Mouse was a perfect fit!
“Be careful, this person is an outsider!” The leader of the Feather Race said in a deep voice.
“Are you here to snatch the Grand Luo Body as well?” The leader of the Scale Race spoke curtly.
Ye Junlin glanced at them and said indifferently, “That mouse belongs to me; you can leave.”
“Funny! Who do you think you are?!”
One of the leaders bellowed.
Ye Junlin’s words infuriated the leaders of the six races.
In their view, this outsider was overwhelmingly arrogant, daring to disregard them completely!
If a Great Ascension powerhouse had come, the six leaders might have been cautious.
But the problem was that his cultivation level was on par with theirs at Unity Stage; what right did he have to say such things?
“Is yet another bad guy here to eat the mouse…?” The White-haired Mouse felt weak and helpless, never imagining it would be so sought after.
