Chapter 4630
James was curious about the powerhouse Zeno was talking about.
However, Zeno did not elaborate on the powerhouses’ identity. He looked at the Path Tree
atop the spiritual mountain and asked, "Do you want the Path Fruits?"
"Of course." James rolled his eyes.
Why would he have tried to snatch them if he did not want them?
However, the Path Tree was connected with the spiritual mountain. Even when he used all
his strength, he was unable to uproot the Path Tree.
The spiritual mountain was also very mysterious and contained powerful energy. Even
dozens of powerhouses attacking together was not enough to destroy it. Acquiring the
Path Fruits seemed almost impossible.
Zeno smiled and said, "I know how to uproot the Path Three."
James looked at him and asked, "Really?"

Zeno nodded earnestly and said, "Yeap. But I have a condition."
"Go on."
'There are nine fruits on the Path Tree. I'll teach you how to uproot it, and you'll take
action. You can have five, and I'll take four. How does that sound?"
James fell into thought.
The deal did not seem reasonable to him. There were so many powerhouses around the
area. James would have to take on everyone if he were the one taking action. He might be
severely injured in the process.
After weighing the deal, James said, "You're asking for too much. You're only contributing a
solution and don't deserve that many. At most, I'll give you two. Whether you want to
cooperate or not is up to you. It doesn't really matter to me."
Zeno retorted, "What the hell? How can you cheat an old man? Forget it. I don't want to
argue with you. I’ll have three. That's my last offer."

"Deal," James agreed smilingly.
Seeing James' triumph smile, Zeno realized he had been tricked. He muttered, "I shouldn't
have compromised."
"Alright, hurry and tell me how to uproot the Path Tree."
Zeno said smilingly, "It's very simple. Under the spiritual mountain is a potent formation.
You just need to break the formation and will be able to easily uproot the Path Tree."
"Is that so?" James looked at him doubtfully. "Why can’t I sense the formation here?"
After speaking, James tried scanning the area for the formation. However, he could not
sense its existence or power from Formation Inscriptions.
James was skilled in the Formation Path but could not detect the formation. Thus, he could
not help but doubt the elderly man's words.
Zeno replied, "It’s the truth. The entrance to the formation is on the Path Tree. Even
though it can't be uprooted, you can rotate it. As long as you rotate the tree a little, you
can go under the spiritual mountain. It's possible there are other boons and treasures

under there."
James looked at Zeno suspiciously.
"Boons and treasures? Are you sure? How do you know so much?"
Zeno said, "You don't need to know. You just need to do as I say. I'll wait for you outside.
Break the formation after you go beneath the spiritual mountain so I can uproot the Path
Tree."
James looked at him hesitantly and asked, "Why aren't you the one to break the formation,
and I wait outside to uproot the tree?"
Zeno replied smiling, "If I could break the formation, I wouldn't need your help. Out of
everyone here, you're the only person capable of breaking the formation. Why else would I
cooperate with you? Enough nonsense, hurry up!"
James touched his chin pensively.
No matter how much James looked at the elderly man, he seemed like a con artist.
However, James felt confident about his strength after improving it significantly and
wanted to try the plan.
