OBS Chapter 668 Yuan Hong, Thank you, Second Master, for your kindness in bestowing upon me the Dao!
Chapter 668 Yuan Hong, Thank you, Second Master, for your kindness in bestowing upon me the Dao!
Yuan Hong held the fruit, feeling his hands trembling.
This thing is heavier than a sacred mountain and hotter than the entire North Sea.
The Great Luo Dao Fruit!
That's a Great Luo Dao Fruit!
Who is Yuan Hong? He's just a monkey who struggled in the mountains and fields, relying on some connections and luck to cultivate to the level of a Taiyi Golden Immortal. He wouldn't even dare to dream of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm in such detail.
That was a legendary being, someone who transcended the river of time and looked down upon all living beings.
His greatest hope in life was to find a place to hide and eke out a living when disaster struck.
But now, the key to that legendary realm has been so easily slipped into his hands.
"Second Master...this...this really won't do!"
Yuan Hong's throat was dry. He wanted to return the fruit, but his hand seemed to be nailed to the air and couldn't move.
It's not that he doesn't want it, it's that he simply doesn't dare to want it.
This kindness was so great that he felt he could never repay it with his life.
"I have accomplished nothing, yet I receive this treasure; I feel ashamed! The other brothers won't be convinced either! Second Master, you should use it yourself. Only when you break through will we have more confidence!"
His words weren't hypocritical; they reflected genuine panic.
Behind him, Dai Li, Zhu Zizhen, and the others stared wide-eyed.
That's the Great Luo Dao Fruit!
The boss just got it like that?
Jealous?
Of course I'm jealous! I'm so jealous my eyes are practically red!
But they also knew that even if they were given this, they wouldn't be able to digest it. Yuan Hong was the one with the best background and the highest cultivation among the seven of them, and only he had a slight chance of using this Dao Fruit to ascend to the heavens in one step.
More importantly, it was given to me by the Second Master.
Whoever the second master says gets it.
What right do they have to say a single word against it?
Of all the people, the one with the most complicated feelings was the golden toad who had just climbed out of the pit.
He watched as the fruit he had guarded for 30,000 years, watered with countless efforts, and was about to ripen was given away to someone else.
Heartache?
It hurts! My heart is bleeding!
That was originally his! It was his hope to step into the Great Luo Realm and roam freely throughout the Three Realms!
But now, all hope has been dashed.
What can he do?
He was outmatched in skill and was easily suppressed, his life now in the other's hands. Forget about Daoist cultivation; even if they stewed him right now, he wouldn't be able to resist.
He could only lower his head, suppressing all his resentment and regret deep in his heart.
this is the truth.
The law of the jungle prevails; the strong possess everything.
but……
Jin Chan secretly raised his eyes and glanced at the indifferent-looking young man.
This new master can even casually give away a supreme treasure like the Great Luo Dao Fruit to a subordinate he has just subdued.
What a masterpiece! What a grand vision!
What does this tell us?
This shows that treasures of this caliber are nothing in his eyes!
With a master like this, how could I possibly lack opportunities in the future?
Having figured this out, the resentment in Jin Chan's heart instantly faded considerably.
Sai Weng lost his horse, how do you know it is not a blessing?
He lost a Dao Fruit, but he managed to latch onto what is probably the strongest backer in the entire primordial world!
This was a great deal!
Yang Jian naturally saw everyone's expressions.
He looked at Yuan Hong, who was still declining, and frowned.
"I told you to take it, so take it."
His voice turned cold.
"Can't you understand what I'm saying?"
An invisible pressure instantly enveloped Yuan Hong.
Yuan Hong trembled and dared not utter another word.
He understood; the Second Master wasn't discussing this with him, he was giving an order.
He could only clutch the Dao Fruit tightly, and then with a "plop," he knelt down again and kowtowed nine times to Yang Jian.
Each head kowtowed so hard that the earth shook.
"Yuan Hong thanks Second Master for bestowing upon me the Dao!"
"From this day forward, Yuan Hong, the White Ape of Meishan, will forever serve as a henchman before Second Master! This is branded upon my soul, and Heaven and Earth bear witness! If I disobey in the slightest, may I be annihilated, body and soul, and never be reincarnated!"
He made the most solemn vow of faith.
Yang Jian nodded, satisfied.
This is exactly the effect he wanted.
A loyal subordinate at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level is far more valuable than a fruit one can't use.
His gaze then fell on the silent old toad beside him.
The golden toad shuddered and quickly lowered its head even further.
"You don't need to be resentful," Yang Jian said calmly. "This fruit was originally unclaimed. If you can guard it, others can naturally take it as well."
The golden toad quickly replied, "Master is right! It's because this little demon's skills are lacking; I have no one to blame but myself!"
"However..." Yang Jian changed the subject, "Now that you've followed me, I certainly won't treat you unfairly."
"A mere Great Luo Dao Fruit is nothing to me. If you serve me loyally in the future, I am not unwilling to give you something even better."
Yang Jian said this in a nonchalant manner.
But when it reached the golden toad's ears, it was no less powerful than the Chaos Divine Thunder!
Something better than the Great Luo Dao Fruit?
What is that?
Could it be... an opportunity to become a Quasi-Saint?
The golden toad suddenly raised its head, its eyes bursting with unbelievable ecstasy!
He had no doubt about Yang Jian's words.
Because he is a disciple of the Sage Niu Ben!
For that forbidden being who dared to confront even the Heavenly Dao, was it really that difficult to create a Quasi-Saint?
"Master! Master, you have shown me such great kindness!"
The golden toad was so excited that it became incoherent, and its huge body lay on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.
"This little demon toad is willing to give its life for its master! Even unto death!"
Now, how could he possibly feel even a trace of resentment?
All that remained was endless relief and ecstasy!
This isn't a missed opportunity; it's a windfall of immense wealth!
Yang Jian looked at him and simply nodded calmly.
Give a beating, then give a sweet treat.
Although his master had never taught him how to manage his subordinates, he had learned it by watching.
"alright."
He ignored the excited golden toad and turned his gaze back to Yuan Hong.
"Stop kneeling, right here. Take the Dao Fruit and break through."
"I will protect you."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong took a deep breath and suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.
He knew this was the most important moment of his life.
He stood up, bowed deeply to Yang Jian again, then sat down cross-legged, holding the crystal-clear fruit in his hands.
His gaze became incredibly resolute.
Without the slightest hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed the Great Luo Dao Fruit, which had accumulated thirty thousand years of creation, in one gulp.
The Great Luo Dao Fruit melts upon entering the mouth.
An indescribable surge of warmth instantly flowed from Yuan Hong's mouth into his limbs and all his meridians!
boom!
Yuan Hong felt as if an entire universe had exploded in his mind!
That was not a simple energy surge, but an infusion of the "Tao"!
