After consuming the Sage fruit, Ye Qingtao felt a surging, torrential energy erupting from within his body. Like a mighty river, it continuously scoured his meridians and acupoints, instantly shattering his cultivation bottleneck and propelling his power all the way to the Sage realm. Feeling the formidable strength within him, Ye Qingtao was overwhelmed with excitement and decided to find a place to test his newfound abilities. With a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and shot toward the horizon, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
A moment later, Ye Qingtao arrived before a massive mountain. Gazing up at the towering peak that pierced the clouds, an idea struck him, and he prepared to use the mountain to test his strength. Just then, however, he noticed a young Taoist priest standing on the mountain, seemingly picking fruit from a tree. Upon seeing the tree, Ye Qingtao's eyes lit up. He immediately realized that this might be the legendary Sage tree, and the fruit was most likely the incomparably precious Void fruit!
With this thought, Ye Qingtao walked over without hesitation to greet the Taoist priest and expressed his desire for the fruit. But the priest was clearly unimpressed and coldly retorted, "I've already claimed this fruit! No one is taking it from me!" Hearing this, anger flared in Ye Qingtao's chest. He was not about to give up such a treasure easily, and the two men began to argue.
