“The man didn’t leave his name to us. All we know is that he once did it. Maybe he used up his good luck right after he grabbed the fruits. Maybe he was too excited, or maybe he couldn’t believe what happened to him. He was stunned for a moment. He was only able to put one of the fruits, Yang Fruit into his mouth.”

“The other fruit, the Yin Fruit was. .h.i.t away by somebody else. After some tough fights, another person ate the Yin Fruit. However, neither of the fruits changed the two men in any way. Soon, the two of them got beaten to death.”

“After that, people finally understood the fruits should be eaten together.”

“Only after eating both of the two fruits should a person become invincible!”

“The miracle didn’t bring the man to invincibility, but it was a great inspiration that somebody successfully took the fruits again. People’s greediness was aroused again.”

“After that, Heaven’s Terrace became popular for other hundreds of years. Many cultivators went there for invincibility, but ended up dead!”

“Thousands year later, it was cooling down again. Suddenly, one man took the fruits again. However, it was a man in a mask on his face. n.o.body knew who he was… After he took the fruits, he left. It would be quite ordinary if he just masked his face. Lots of people would do that. n.o.body wanted to be noticed when getting approach to the fruits. However, what was astonis.h.i.+ng was that n.o.body was able to catch up with that man, even though there were so many powerful cultivators chasing after him! Besides, that man didn’t eat the fruits when he got them!”

“That was another stimulation. The entire realm fell into madness again. People kept going to risk their lives for it again. Opportunity only favors the few. n.o.body ever succeeded after that. Countless Dao Origin Stage cultivators died in that place. Unexpectedly, another lucky man showed up not long after that… One mother later, another man in mask got the fruits!”

“The second masked guy made his attempt just like the others did. He jumped up and reached his hand to the fruits, risking his life. However, unlike the others, he easily grabbed the two fruits and swallowed it fast. That wonderful scene happened in Qing-Yun Realm again. That man became another invincible figure in Qing-Yun Realm, just as the story told!”

“When everything was done, and the marvelous scene was gone, that man laughed loudly, ignored the others, and left.”

“Brother, you know who he is, don’t you?” Yue Han looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao was lost in the story, so he automatically answered, “Who?”

He wanted to slap himself because of being stupid.

He knew who he was.

“Wu Fa!” Yue Han smiled, “The man who has been enjoying the fame as the No.1 cultivator in the realm, Wu Fa!”

The three of them stayed silent all of a sudden.

“Wu Fa is indeed powerful, but he is, after all, a normal cultivator, unlike the man who took the fruits before him. n.o.body knew anything about that man. n.o.body knew whether he had eaten the fruits. It seems he has never shown up in Qing-Yun Realm ever after… He has been traceless and silent.”

“The first and the last, two invincible cultivators were created by the fruits! Qing-Yun Realm was in ultimate chaos because of it!”

“After Wu Fa, people kept going to Heaven’s Terrace for the fruits. Even though n.o.body has ever gotten it in the thousands of years.”

“Heaven’s terrace…” Ye Xiao made a long sigh, “It takes only one second for a man to become a legend… Who could turn away from such attraction?”

“That’s true. Cultivators are all crazy for it. If there is no restriction of cultivation levels, it will be crowded every minute by cultivators below Dao Origin Stage!”

Yue Shuang sighed.

“It has been thousands of years since Wu Fa got the fruits. All sects forbid their disciples to go to Heaven’s Terrace! It is a daydream to reach the heaven by one step! Only to spend time and sweats step by step is the best way toward invincibility!”

“What a shame… Such warnings don’t work. Every day, cultivators, many of who were raised by the sects with great efforts, will go to Heaven’s Terrace when they reached Dao Origin Stage. Many people just cultivate around Heaven’s Terrace! Somebody lived there for decades, even hundreds of years!”

“Heaven’s Terrace! Heaven’s Terrace! What price invincibility takes? Mountains of bones below the terrace; blood flew into rivers! Rotten bones fly up in the wind, which belong to all those geniuses!”

Yue Han put an end to the narrative with doggerel.

Ye Xiao made a sigh and said, “Rotten bones fly up in the wind, which belong to all those geniuses!”

Yue Shuang stroke when the iron was hot. “Brother, you know the horror in it. Otherwise, you would have gone to Heaven’s Terrace in the previous life! Don’t tell me you never think about taking the fruits. I know you are cautious, but I don’t think you haven’t even thought about it!”

“What we are talking here may be old sayings, but… we truly don’t want you to go there!” Yue Han said. He looked at Ye Xiao in the eyes. She uncommonly looked solemn in front of her elder brother.

“Heaven’s Terrace… I did more than just thinking about it… In fact, I have been there before!” Ye Xiao took a long breath and said, “However, I… I saw seven people, who were all stronger than me, get killed by that string… losing their souls… I was frightened. It enlightened me that I should give up on it. So I quit. After that, I kept working hard in cultivation, and decided to forget about everything about Heaven’s Terrace!”

The two ladies looked at him at the same time with softness and surprise.

[Brother has been there? And you successfully resisted the temptation?]
