"How will you compensate me?"
True Monarch Pu Du continued, his voice leisurely.
"This Treasure Tree of mine was cultivated over nine thousand seven hundred years. I gathered the Primordial Qi of countless Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends, nurtured it with my Primordial Spirit, and only then did I obtain this single Immortal Root capable of bearing an Origin Fruit.
The Rare Treasures integrated within it, the Heart and Spirit Origin I expended—can any common thing compare?
It carries a sliver of Dao Rhyme from the Nine Heavens Profound Vault, born of thunder and transformation. Destroying this tree is like severing my path of cultivation, like damaging the very foundation of my Primordial Sect!"
If he had only just entered the Early-Stage Golden Core realm, it would be just as True Monarch Pu Du claimed. But he had already reached the Mid-Stage Golden Core, and the Grotto Heaven Dojo he had condensed was already stable. He no longer needed to rely on a Fruit Position.
