After a brief discussion, the five individuals reached a final decision regarding the distribution plan.

There was a total of one fully ripe immortal fruit on the tree, which was quite large in size.

Additionally, there was one only partially ripe immortal fruit, noticeably smaller in size.

The five individuals decided to evenly divide the larger ripe immortal fruit among the three cultivators, while the smaller one would be divided between Wang Hong and Bai Wushuang.

Upon closer calculation, it seemed that the three cultivators gained a slight advantage. However, considering that they were the ones who provided the intelligence regarding the fruits, it seemed reasonable to allocate them a bit more.

This was because the larger immortal fruit not only had a bigger size but, more importantly, was more mature, thus possessing better effects.

Wang Hong didn't mind this arrangement. His main objective was to obtain a branch to plant in his space.

In the future, he would have a tree bearing immortal fruits all to himself, or perhaps even an entire garden of them. Naturally, he didn't pay much attention to the slight advantage he gained now.

The immortal fruit tree was situated within a dense spatial rift, making it extremely difficult to approach. This was also the reason why the tree had survived until now.

Therefore, each group only dispatched one person to pick the fruit, while the rest remained on the essential passage back, ready to provide assistance.

Although termed as "assistance," it was mainly to prevent the person picking the fruit from keeping it all to themselves.

The three cultivators surnamed Li formed one group, with one of them sent to pick the immortal fruit.

As for Wang Hong and Bai Wushuang's group, they quickly reached a consensus. Wang Hong would be the one to pick the fruit, while Bai Wushuang would provide assistance.

Bai Wushuang had naturally noticed that Wang Hong had more means at his disposal, especially considering that his armor even contained Grand Dao Runes, which could resist the spatial rift's cuts. Latest content publıshed on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽

Sending Wang Hong to pick the immortal fruit naturally increased the chances of success.

On the other hand, Wang Hong also preferred to personally pick the fruit and collect some branches to plant in his space. He believed in doing things himself in such matters.

"This tree is surrounded by spatial rifts, making it nearly impossible to approach. We paid a great price last time just to find a route that was barely passable."

Pausing for a moment, one of the cultivators surnamed Li glanced at Wang Hong before continuing, "If Fellow Daoist Wang doesn't mind, you could wait until I return with the fruit before proceeding through this passage to pick yours."

"Thank you, Li Fellow Daoist!" Wang Hong readily accepted. "Please go ahead and pick first."

After all, they had been here before and had experience. Moreover, with cultivator Li picking first, he could also observe the condition of the passage, thus ensuring greater safety when it was Wang Hong's turn.

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony." The cultivator surnamed Li took out a jade vial from his person and poured out some white powder from it.

He then circulated his spiritual power, causing the white powder to spread out over a large area.

As the white powder gradually dissipated, Wang Hong saw countless crisscrossing, densely packed white lines in the air.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, take note, those white lines are the spatial rifts, temporarily revealed by Fellow Daoist Li's treasure," Daoist Qin quickly reminded Wang Hong.

In fact, Wang Hong had already speculated about these white lines when he saw them; this was just a confirmation.

The white lines in the air only appeared for a moment before fading away, disappearing completely.

Immortal cultivators possessed divine senses, with strong observational and memorization abilities. Wang Hong, being a Soul Transformation cultivator, quickly memorized those revealed lines.

Nevertheless, as a precaution, he took out a blank Jade Scroll and recorded the traces of the spatial rifts he had just seen onto it.

At this moment, the cultivator surnamed Li had already assumed a peculiar posture and slipped into the gap between the spatial rifts.

His body moved like a swimming fish, continuously twisting and adjusting, brushing against the edges of the spatial rifts, navigating through one turn after another.

Wang Hong observed his path, comparing it with the spatial rifts he had noted down earlier. The route wasn't straight; the cultivator surnamed Li moved sometimes forward, sometimes backward, and sometimes upward.

Wang Hong noticed the cultivator surnamed Li's movements were extremely skilled; he must have simulated and trained extensively before coming here.

The cultivator surnamed Li quickly reached the vicinity of the immortal fruit tree. His position allowed him to reach the larger immortal fruit easily.

However, the immortal fruit assigned to Wang Hong and Bai Wushuang was on the other side of the fruit tree, which would pose some difficulty for Wang Hong to pick.

Wang Hong surmised that the cultivators surnamed Li had probably anticipated this before distributing the fruits.

The cultivator surnamed Li plucked the immortal fruit without storing it in a space magic weapon, holding it openly for everyone to see.

As he retraced his steps, the cultivators surnamed Ye and Daoist Qin were already waiting on the path he had to return, taking their roles of assistance seriously.

Once out of the passage, the cultivator surnamed Li wasted no time and immediately divided the immortal fruit into three equal portions, including the seeds.

He handed two portions to Ye and Daoist Qin, who accepted them before averting their gazes from him.

They carefully stored their portions and layered several restrictions to prevent any leakage of spiritual energy.

Even Wang Hong's Ten Thousand-Year Spiritual Herb emitted strong spiritual energy fluctuations; immortal fruits emitted even stronger natural waves. They had to seal them properly, or they wouldn't know how they'd meet their end.

Since the cultivator surnamed Li picked the immortal fruit, Wang Hong had been lost in thought, holding the Jade Scroll.

Because the immortal fruit assigned to him and Bai Wushuang grew on the other side, and there was no safe passage leading there.

The narrowest part that could be traversed was only palm-sized, far too small for a person to pass through.

If it were a detached Nascent Soul, it could pass, but the physical body had no chance.

Only after the cultivator surnamed Li returned did Wang Hong begin to pick the immortal fruit.

He swam forward based on the previously recorded positions of the spatial rifts.

Along the way, due to his movements not being as agile as the cultivator surnamed Li's, he brushed against the spatial rifts several times. Fortunately, his armor protected him, preventing any injuries.

Now Wang Hong had reached the narrowest part he had seen earlier, and he couldn't pass through.

Moreover, there was still about three feet of distance between him and the immortal fruit.

However, before he came to pick the fruit, he had already thought of a solution.

He released several Poisonous Bees, flying in front of him.

However, these Poisonous Bees, upon emerging, only flew for a short while before crashing into the spatial rifts and being mercilessly crushed.

This was also why he hadn't used Poisonous Bees for assistance before; their intelligence was too low to be finely commanded and controlled.

No one opposed Wang Hong's final decision.[Read at www./shanefreak, and heartfelt thankyou for your support!]
