266 – Wisdom Apple
The door to the basement suddenly opened and a figure slowly walked inside.
“Ian, it really is you!” Faldina lifted her head slowly and saw the figure walk into the basement. There was a strange, impossible to read expression in her beautiful eyes.
Yang Feng smiled and sat in front of Faldina: “Yes, it’s me.”
“You were the one who brought the sword of justice!”
“Yes, it was me who put pressure on the sword of justice and had them come to you.”
“It was you who sealed my strength!”
“The potion I gave you sealed your strength.”
Faldina was silent for a moment, then her face twisted slightly, she gritted her teeth, and asked: “Why?”
Yang Feng plastered a smile on his face and said: “I should be the one asking you that. I am a person who advocates the idea of equality between men and women. If a woman wanted to destroy me, I think that she should have a taste of her medicine. No, I would be glad if she had a taste of her medicine. Was Edith’s sword strike painful?”
Faldina was silent for a good while, then her silver-white teeth bit on her lips, and blood fell to the ground. She said: “It was painful, very painful! The former Faldina was stabbed to death by that suffocatingly painful sword strike.”
“Then I’ll let you listen to a really interesting conversation.” Yang Feng smiled, took out a sound recording crystal, and poured spirit force into it.
“Edith, you never really loved Faldina, you just wanted to use her to get information about the Titan Empire, is this true?” Suddenly, Yang Feng’s voice sounded in the basement.
Faldina’s face was pale-white. She dug her fingernails deep into the flesh of her hands, and blood trickled along her lily-white hands and fell to the ground.
“…”
“I, Edith, never loved Faldina! I just used her to get information about the Titan Empire!” Edith’s pained voice that stressed each syllable sounded in the room and, as if daggers, stabbed Faldina in the heart.
Faldina spat out a big mouthful of blood, her complexion turned extremely pale, and her eyes were covered with deathly stillness. She whispered: “You devil!”
Yang Feng looked at Faldina, who spat out blood, with ridicule. There was no trace of sympathy, only indescribable pleasure.
Shortly after, Yang Feng said with a sneer: “Right back at you! I admit that I am not a good person! But what about you? Are you good people?”
Faldina’s face was pale white, and she balled up her hands into fists. She asked: “Don’t you want to know about the divine armament secret treasure?”
Yang Feng replied lightly: “It would be great if I got to know about the divine armament secret treasure, but it I don’t, it's no skin off my back! Unless there’s a chance encounter, how could it be easy to get your hands on such a treasure like a divine armament? If you know about a divine armament secret treasure, then you would have already gotten your hands on it if you could, right?”
Faldina was a genius Wizard. She was of such a tender age, yet she had already cultivated until the Archwizard realm. It was not impossible for her to promote to a Legend Wizard in the future. For such a genius to know about a divine armament secret treasure, yet not to get her hands on it, the difficulty involved in getting a hold of the divine armament could very well be imagined.
Faldina revealed a sneer: “It’s a wisdom apple and it’s about to ripen!”
Yang Feng’s complexion immediately changed greatly. His mind was in turmoil, his body shook, and he leaned forward. His eyes exuded greed as he exclaimed: “Wisdom apple! Shouldn’t it still take it 372 years for it to ripen?”
The wisdom apple was the most precious treasure of the Feisuo Plan as well as the treasure most coveted by powerhouses of countless planes
Among the countless planes, there was only 1 wisdom apple tree. The wisdom apple tree took 10,000 years to sprout, 10,000 years to blossoms, and 10,000 years to bear fruit. Each time, it would only bear 1 wisdom apple.
Anyone who ate a wisdom apple, no matter how much of a waste they used to be, would possess frightening intelligence and become a super-freak cultivation genius. By then, any knowledge could be easily comprehended at a glance.
Those who ate a wisdom apple and didn’t die before maturing, would become bigwigs among bigwigs. The strong divine power rank Light Primary God Prados of the Zaliah divine system had eaten a wisdom apple. The Light Primary God Prados was the most powerful strong divine power rank god of the Feisuo Plane.
When the Feisuo Plane was under the control of the Cangzhi Plane, each wisdom apple was an indispensable tribute of the Feisuo Plane. Only the Warlock Emperors of the Warlock Dynasties were entitled to enjoy wisdom apples, which took 30,000 years to be bore.
Such a precious treasure would naturally be coveted by many strong beings.
Many plane wars began due to wisdom apples of the Feisuo Plane.
The Demonic Fighting Sect of the Cangzhi Plane also had a detailed record on the wisdom apple. According to the latest information, it should still take the wisdom apple 372 years to ripen.
One of the reasons why Yang Feng came to the Feisuo Plane was naturally because he coveted the wisdom apple. If he could get a hold of the wisdom apple, his comprehension ability and cultivation speed would be boosted.
Faldina said with a sweet smile: “Earl Ian, it seems that you are not of simple origin. You even know of the wisdom apple.”
On the Feisuo Plane, information about wisdom apples had been erased by the gods. Except for divine descendants with ancient heritage as well as the core upper echelon of churches, no one knew about the existence of wisdom apples.
A wisdom apple may be able to change the fate of an ordinary person, and allow them to become a god with a divine country high among the stars. The gods in the starry sky weren’t willing to have ordinary people know of this information, as they also desired to acquire this treasure.
Yang Feng forcibly suppressed his excitement and greed. He took a deep breath and said solemnly: “What do you want? So long as it is within reason, I can agree to it.”
Enmity flashed past Faldina’s beautiful eyes, and, with a voice that seemed to come from the 9th layer of hell, she said slowly: “I want to watch you destroy the Hansen Family!”
Yang Feng frowned slightly and said: “He is from the Hansen Family!”
Faldina touched the wound on her belly, which no longer shed blood, and felt a bit of pain from it, which made her beautiful eyes become overcast. She revealed an ominous and bewitching smile: “It’s precisely because he is of the Hansen Family. I want to destroy the Hansen Family, I want him to pay the price for today’s sword strike.”
“Alright! I promise you!” After contemplating for a while, Yang Feng still could not figure out Faldina’s thoughts. Instead of overthinking, he silently recited an incantation, pointed at Faldina, and conjured a lie detection spell.
Apart from believers of the feeble divine power rank God of Lies and Deception Usopp as well as some strange secret treasures, even Legend rank powerhouses, when enchanted with a lie detection spell, would be exposed once they told a lie.
In the Titan divine system, there was no god similar to the God of Lies and Deception. Only if she had one of the very few treasures forged by Usopp circulating in the world, could Faldina resist the lie detection spell.
“The wisdom apple lies at the end of the world, on an island in the Golden Strait. In ancient times, before there were gods, there was a powerful devil called the Time Lord, who cast a spell that the gods cannot defy on the Golden Strait.”
Yang Feng was speechless. The Time Lord, who was one of the strongest powerhouses of the Cangzhi Plane, apparently came to the Feisuo Plane and took away a wisdom apple.
“Covered by that spell, the Golden Strait became a restricted area for the gods. Demigods, who ignited their divine fire, and gods, who have their divine domains, will be deprived of all their strength and become ordinary people once they enter the Golden Strait.”
“The wisdom apple tree takes 10,000 years to sprout, 10,000 years to blossom, and 10,000 years to bear fruit. This cannot be altered. However, the Goddess of Life, Goddess of Plants, and Goddess of Forests of the Zaliah divine system sent people to the wisdom apple tree, and consumed countless precious divine force and treasures to nourish the wisdom apple tree every year. Eventually, the date the wisdom apple would ripen was shifted ahead by more than 300 years. Thus, in 3 years’ times, the wisdom apple will ripen!” Said Faldina lightly.
Yang Feng sighed in admiration: “The gods of the Zaliah divine system are worthy of their reputation! They are really clever!”
A wisdom apple was an exceedingly peerless treasure that could trigger a planar war. Each time a wisdom apple was about to be bear, countless powerhouses would flock to the Feisuo Plane and a great war would ensue. Even though the gods of the Feisuo Plane had a home advantage and were practically undefeated, but there would still be gods dying, consuming the power of gods.
Once the wisdom apple was bore ahead of schedule, the gods could take the wisdom apple away ahead of time and avoid the war. For the gods, who could at least live for millions of years, if they weren’t forced, it was best not to engage in deadly conflicts.
Yang Feng asked suddenly: “How do you know when the wisdom apple is going to ripen?”
Faldina replied faintly: “The wisdom apple can change the fates of ordinary people and give them a chance at becoming gods themselves. Thus, in addition to gods, ordinary people are also very tempted by it.”
The gods of the Feisuo Plane were very lofty and dominated everything, and their longevity was nearly unlimited. Ordinary people were just that. Although powerhouses who were at the top of the world would crawl at the feet of the gods, but inside, they were eager to take that step forward and become gods themselves. And even divine descendants were no exception.
Although divine descendants received god‘s blessing at birth and had a far superior longevity and cultivation talent, but they still aspired to become gods themselves.
