Chapter 864: Animitta Heavenly Demon’s Heart

Naturally, the Fruit of Wishes became a highly contested item as well. In the end, it fell into Ye Qing’s hands for the price of seven million silver. It cost him almost all of the money[1] he got from Goddess City, but it was worth it.

The main reason he spent seven million silver to purchase the Fruit of Wishes was to help Feng Qingyou. It might be able to treat her mental injuries.

As for whether it would backfire on Feng Qingyou and actually worsen her existing injury, he wasn’t worried.

He just needed to ask the Annon Sutra.

Honestly, he wasn’t expecting to find such an impressive item during the Dragonmount Meet. If the Fruit of Wishes could treat Feng Qingyou’s injury outright, then it would be a happy ending as a matter of course. At the very least, it would have saved them a lot of trouble.

Even if the answer he received from the Annon Sutra was negative, they could still use it for other purposes. In any case, it was a win-win situation.

“The next item is the grand finale of our Dragonmount Meet. I’m sure that a lot of you are here for it.”

Zui Yun’s complexion was rosy on the Lampfire Tower. It made her look even more vibrant and attractive than she already was.

As Zui Yun spoke, a wisp of flame lifted the jade box into the air.

“Can you guess what is stored inside this jade box, my dear guests?” Zui Yun asked smilingly.

“Do we get a prize if we guess correctly?”

“Please don’t keep us in suspense any longer, Fairy Zui Yun!”

“Yeah, we can’t wait any longer.”

“Hahaha... very well. I shan’t dilly dally any longer.” Zui Yun giggled before waving her hand. “Please, have a look.”

Zui Yun waved her hand, and the jade box swung open. The item stored inside the box... was a heart.

The heart was about as big as an infant’s fist and black as ink. It was such a pure, flawless color that the heart looked far more mysterious and exotic than scary.

The heart was at least tens of meters from the closest guest, but everyone could feel a deep, immense, and unfathomable presence and power residing within it. It made them feel small, cold, and afraid like a mortal facing down the heavens themselves.

Yes, he was tempted. Out of all the items that were displayed in the auction, this was the one he desired from the bottom of his heart.

“If I’m not mistaken, that is the heart of the Animitta[2] Heavenly Demon.”

Feng Qingyou took note of the excitement on Ye Qing’s face and remarked, “Your cultivation art is quite compatible with the demonic qi of the Animitta Heavenly Demon. It will be a great boon to you.”

“The heart of the Animitta Heavenly Demon? No wonder!” Ye Qing exclaimed in astonishment.

As if on cue, someone from the audience shouted, “Is that the heart of the Animitta Heavenly Demon, Miss Zui Yun?!” Clearly, they recognized the heart as well.

“A wise and accurate deduction, dear guest. Correct, this is the heart of the Animitta Heavenly Demon,” Zui Yun answered.

“What is an Animitta Heavenly Demon, Miss Zui Yun?” Another person asked.

“An Animitta Heavenly Demon is one of the thirty three Heavenly Demon Gods from the Beyond, and it resides in the Animitta Heaven. Possessing boundless power and exquisite arts, it is formless, shapeless, and a master of transformation. It enjoys transforming into anything and everything, and its hobby is toying with mortals and tempting them into the Dark Ways.”

Zui Yun explained smilingly, “The lifelong power of an Animitta Heavenly Demon is stored within its heart. So long as the heart isn’t destroyed, an Animitta Heavenly Demon can never die.”

“The heart before your eyes is the heart of an Animitta Heavenly Demon. It contains the full, flawless, unblemished power of an Animitta Heavenly Demon.”

“If I remember correctly, the Animitta Heavenly Demon is an Ancient-class Stranger, right Miss Zui Yun? It is formless, shapeless, exceedingly powerful, and beyond difficult to kill. So how on earth were you able to obtain its heart, and in such perfect condition too?” Someone asked with puzzlement.

The person’s curiosity was shared by Ye Qing as well. The Animitta Heavenly Demon was one of the most powerful Strangers in its weight class. Only a Sage possessed the power to kill it, and even then, they might not necessarily obtain its heart. However, the heart before his eyes was perfectly intact in both form and power. How on earth did the organizers manage to obtain it?

“Hahaha... it is very simple. This heart is the prize won by the Turtle Fishing Man, the Whaler, the Dragon King of the East Sea, and the Sea-Stirring Great Sage after slaying an Animitta Heavenly Demon together.”

Zui Yun did not hide the story from them. “Several months ago, the Animitta Heavenly Demon had harassed one hundred and eight islands in the eastern sea and seduced over a hundred thousand people into damnation. Luckily, the Turtle Fishing Man, the Whaler, the Dragon King of the East Sea, and the Sea-Stirring Great Sage happened to be nearby when this tragedy occurred. So, they worked together to slay the Animitta Heavenly Demon and obtain its heart.”

“The Animitta Heavenly Demon is useless to them, so they entrusted us to process it accordingly.”
