Chapter 104 - What Do You Want to Know?

“Chi, chi, chi…” Taotie watched as the white python gobbled down the fruits and laughed in a low voice.

“Wait!” Wang Ye’s eyelids twitched and he began to call out to the white python.

But at this moment, the white python seemed to have fallen into a special state of madness.

It just kept eating.

The characteristic Gluttonous Snake allowed the white python to do so.

Wang Ye frowned slightly.

The fruits themselves were not much of a problem.

In terms of spiritual energy alone, they were just pure high-grade resources.

Coupled with Gluttonous Snake, not only could the white python digest them in a jiffy, but it could also convert the energy into its own spiritual energy in a short time as well. Thus, its combat power soared like a rocket.

The problem was here.

The increase in combat power would bring great satisfaction and pleasure to the pet.

The pet would be almost unable to extricate itself, especially from this kind of rapid combat power increase.

Let alone young pets, even pets who had lived for a long time would find it difficult to break free from the trance once they fell into such a situation.

Not long after, the white python’s spiritual energy broke through the 3,000 mark, and at this time, it had only eaten about a hundred fruits.

Its speed was still increasing.

“If it just increases spiritual energy…” Wang Ye looked at the white python’s slightly red eyes.

The fruits seemed to carry some strange power.

Suddenly, Wang Ye seemed to have thought of something, and he immediately walked over and whispered a few words to the white python.

The white python’s consciousness slightly paused. It looked at Wang Ye, then at itself.

After that, it continued to eat, but it only swallowed without chewing.

Soon, the redness in its eyes gradually disappeared, but the speed at which it ate the fruits did not decrease.

In less than an hour, the white python had finished the thousands of fruits.

“Burp…” The white python burped. It looked at its bulging belly and twisted, feeling that its body was a little heavy.

“Leave one for me to try,” Wang Ye said.

He walked to the side and picked the last remaining fruit.

This fruit was in the shape of a human. It looked like a heroic beastmaster.

It was crisp and refreshing.

Although it tasted pretty good, a majestic wave of spiritual energy instantly surged through his entire body the moment he swallowed the fruit!

Wang Ye’s mind jolted. At the same time that his body was receiving this wave of spiritual energy, a wave of spiritual will reverberated like a whisper from his soul:

“Chirp~ Chirp~ Chirp~”

“Xiao Qiu, please… Forgive me…”

“Chirp, chirp?”

“You have been infected by the dark fog. Sooner or later, you’ll become a fierce beast…”

“Chirp, chirp, chirp…”

“Under the law, there’s nothing I can do…”

“Chirp, chirp…”

“If there’s an afterlife, I hope you can choose an even more outstanding beastmaster… Instead of suffering along with trash like me…”

“Chirp, chirp, chirp!”

“Farewell.”

“Chirp! Chirp…”

…

Wang Ye’s eyes flew open and he panted slightly.

The pleasure in his body made him feel a strong desire to continue eating.

However, there were no more fruits at this moment.

“I see…” After a while, under the effects of the Innate Divine Soul, Wang Ye’s mind gradually regained clarity.

“The Seamless Karma Vine…” Wang Ye shook his head slightly.

These fruits were entangled with unique soul energy.

According to the information from the simulation, these fruits needed the flesh and blood of humans and pets as nutrients to help them grow.

As such, there were traces of remnant thoughts from the deceased humans and pets in them.

The more one ate, the stronger one would become, and the more remnant thoughts one would have to endure.

Both humans and pets couldn’t restrain themselves before the desire to become stronger, so eventually, they would be eroded by the remnant wills, unless one’s soul was strong enough.

After eating the fruits, they had to bear the karma.

“Congratulations,” Taotie was silent for a long time. Then, he let out a hoarse voice, “You have finished eating these thousands of fruit of karma. You may continue moving forward.”

Then, Taotie waved his hand.

With that, a floating road appeared in front of them, leading directly to the center.

Fierce beasts of all kinds surrounded the road. They roared fiercely as if they were seeing Xuan Zang’s meat and wanted to pounce on Wang Ye to eat him.

They were like hungry ghosts who had been starving in Hell for countless years.

Wang Ye was silent.

To be honest, the white python hadn’t finished digesting all the fruits.

Instead, it stored them in its body.

With Gluttonous Snake, within the white python’s body was a small world of its own. The things it ate could be stored temporarily and didn’t need to be digested.

“Let’s digest them slowly in the future,” Wang Ye thought to himself.

These fruits were indeed treasures.

If they were all digested, Wang Ye estimated that the white python could directly break through to level 3, and its spiritual energy could easily reach hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

Wang Ye stepped onto the path with the white python back and glanced back at Taotie once more.

It was still sitting there, unmoving.

Wang Ye took a deep breath and continued to move forward.

Walking on this floating road, Wang Ye could feel waves of pressure coming from all directions, spiritual pressure.

Below was a devastated land.

The giant silver tree was getting closer and closer.

When he walked closer, only did he find that around the giant silver tree was a silver pool that was burning with blood-red flames.

It was exuding a hot and evil aura as if all sins in the Infernal Relic were gathered here.

Burble.

From time to time, bubbles would pop out on the surface of the silver pool!

The giant silver tree was in the center of the pool!

“Yet another tree,” Wang Ye muttered.

The road curved down like a rainbow.

Wang Ye stopped in front of the pool and looked at the giant silver tree in the distance.

He was finally here.

“Strange…” Wang Ye frowned slightly.

The pool and the giant tree seemed to give off two very strange feelings.

The giant silver tree was especially strange because it gave off a holy feeling.

In contrast, the silver pool below gave Wang Ye an evil and dark feeling.

There seemed to be some kind of magical connection between the two.

“What on Earth… Should I run a simulation first? Is this giant silver tree the Yama that Chiyu mentioned? It doesn’t seem like it!” Wang Ye pondered.

“After so many years, finally, another human has come here… Hahaha…” Just as Wang Ye was about to run a simulation, the giant silver tree in front of him started talking in an ancient sound.

“You are?” Wang Ye looked at the giant tree.

“I am the Dark Tree of Heaven. I have been guarding this place for over a hundred years,” The giant silver tree slowly said, “Human, you have already encountered many fierce beasts before arriving here. You must have many questions in your heart right now, right?”

Wang Ye said in his heart, “I do have many questions.”

The place kept emitting an extremely eerie aura.

The giant silver tree continued, “For you to be able to come here, it’s enough to prove that you and your pet have a noble character, a firm will, and excellent talent.”

“That’s true,” Wang Ye said.

“…”

“For you to be able to walk the Demon Path without losing your self, it means that your soul is powerful and that you’ve experienced extraordinary experiences. For you to not have swallowed the blood wood divine seed proves that you have a clear understanding of your body and won’t be distracted by powerful strength. The fact that you were able to resist the charm of Chiyu shows that your will is firm. In the field of karma, the fact that you were able to eat an Infernal Karma fruit together with your pet and walk all the way here shows that you have a clear conscience and can accept the karma of the world.”

“Now that you are before me, what do you want to know? Or, what do you want to obtain?” The giant silver tree said slowly.
