Chapter 508: Heavenly Dao Fruit, Celestial Being
Chapter 508: Heavenly Dao Fruit, Celestial Being
Gu An Neng could hear the inner voice of the Divine Anomaly Spirit, and although he could maintain a spiritual connection with it, he rarely paid it any mind.
The main reason was that the Divine Anomaly Spirit was too annoying. Gu An had responded to it before, which resulted in it chattering incessantly and constantly disturbing him.
Regarding Li Ya's intention to seize the sword, Gu An wasn't worried, nor did he fear that Li Ya would cause him trouble.
He would only save Li Ya's life and wouldn't help him seize the sword.
Saving lives was not a difficult task for Gu An; it was as easy as breathing.
Gu An continued fishing, waiting for an hour before finally getting up and leaving.
The Blood Hell Supreme Sage hurried to keep up with his pace, while Chen Chuan remained by the lake, closing his eyes and contemplating his sword intent.
He wanted to resist the sword's attraction, believing that if he could withstand it, his sword cultivation would advance to a higher level.
Over a dozen miles away, An Shengtian was practicing cultivation on a cliff, his hair gently swayed by the breeze.
Ten miles ahead, his master, Jiang Shi, was planting seeds, not using spells but doing it manually as a form of cultivation.
To the east, Tian Ya'er was discussing the Dao with the Blooming Ghost Mother, sharing their cultivation experiences.
The others were in secluded meditation within their respective caves, all steadfastly advancing on their cultivation paths.
The wind from the Primordial Dao Ground blew towards the sky, sweeping away the four seasons.
The following summer, the battle for the divine sword finally erupted. This sword attracted countless sword cultivators, and Li Ya, who was in the Nirvana Realm, couldn't even get close.
Not only was he unable to see the divine sword, but he also couldn't even ask Gu An for help.
The battle between the two Mystic Immortals prevented him and the Divine Anomaly Spirit from getting closer, forcing them to wait from a distance.
Unfortunately, as time passed, not only was Li Ya unable to advance, but he was also forced to retreat due to the involvement of higher-level sword cultivators in the competition.
...
As the sun set in the west, a bustling city came into view. Zhu Xi, dressed in a yellow robe, strolled through the streets, looking as youthful as ever, like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. Her eyes shone with excitement as she glanced around.
No one would have guessed that this seemingly innocent-looking girl was the Saint of the Holy Court, once the strongest cultivator in the world.
Just as Zhu Xi was captivated by the sights on both sides of the street, a figure approached her.
"Young friend, please wait a moment."
A laugh came from ahead, and Zhu Xi stopped in her tracks, focusing on the speaker.
Before her stood a young monk in a robe, none other than the Daoist Sage Seeker who had taught the Heart Enlightenment Dao Transformation Skill. It was because of this skill, now known as the Primordial Recycle Skill, that Gu An could help those he cared about extend their lifespan.
Zhu Xi's smile faded as she stared calmly at the Daoist Sage Seeker.
The Daoist Sage Seeker laughed, "I see that your fate is extraordinary. Do you wish to become an immortal? I can help you!"
Zhu Xi fixed her gaze on him and said, "You, a monk, call yourself a poor Daoist? Do you think you're reliable?"
"Of course, I am reliable. The Saint of the Holy Court was conceived by the fate of the Heavenly Spirit. Even in a reincarnated body, a pair of eyes can see through everything, isn't that so?" The Daoist Sage Seeker laughed, causing Zhu Xi to frown.
When he mentioned the Saint of the Holy Court, a passing cultivator looked at him with suspicion, but soon disappeared into the crowd.
Zhu Xi and the Daoist Sage Seeker stood face-to-face amidst the bustling crowd, seemingly out of place in the secular world, unconcerned with the stares of mortals.
Zhu Xi's expression gradually became stern, as if she had transformed into a different person. Her brows exuded an aura of dominance, and she looked down upon the Daoist Sage Seeker as she asked, "A Celestial Being?"
The Daoist Sage Seeker laughed, "Your Majesty is indeed formidable."
Zhu Xi lifted her right foot and took a step forward. As her toes touched the ground, the world suddenly changed. The streets and the bustling crowd vanished, and they found themselves in a dim, desolate mountain range under dark, thunderous clouds.
The Daoist Sage Seeker remained calm and smiled at Zhu Xi.
"Are you sure you have what I want?" Zhu Xi asked, and as she spoke, her right hand rose, causing the soil around her to crack. Countless tree roots burst forth, intertwining in the air to form a colossal wooden sword that pointed directly at Daoist Sage Seeker.
This wooden sword was even more massive than the mountains of the world, and its appearance seemed to occupy half the sky.
Daoist Sage Seeker replied, "You seek the Heavenly Dao Fruit, and what you desire is not just the unification of the current Heavenly Spirit Grand World. You want the entire Heavenly Spirit Grand World, don't you?"
Zhu Xi narrowed her eyes, remaining silent.
Daoist Sage Seeker continued, "The Heavenly Dao Fruit will eventually appear, but there are already beings beyond the Freedom Immortals. Your Majesty, how will you claim it when that time comes?"
Zhu Xi scoffed, "So, you can't give me anything. Are you here just to remind me?"
"Not at all," Daoist Sage Seeker said with a smile. "I'm here to save your life. The Heavenly Dao Golden Core is a lure left by the Boundary Gate Master, and the Heavenly Dao Fruit is even more taboo. If one's cultivation is insufficient, they will be devoured upon touching the Heavenly Dao Fruit. Within it lies an even more terrifying cause and effect, a consequence unknown even to the Boundary Gate Master."
Zhu Xi squinted and asked, "Then tell me, what level of cultivation is required to approach it?"
"One must reach the pinnacle of Freedom Immortals," Daoist Sage Seeker said with a playful smile.
Zhu Xi frowned and asked, "Above the Immortal Dao Ninth Heaven, are there still Freedom Immortals?"
"Indeed," Daoist Sage Seeker replied. "There are three more Freedom Immortals above. None of the strongest cultivators who appeared thousands of years ago had reached this level, not even the Dao Support Sword Lord could display such a realm's aura."
Upon hearing Daoist Sage Seeker mention the Dao Support Sword Lord, Zhu Xi's expression darkened.
Even though she had fully recovered her memories from her past life, she still held the master-disciple bond from this life in her heart and deeply respected Gu An.
In her eyes, Gu An was an ancient senior from beyond the heavens, with cultivation far surpassing her own. Moreover, she owed him a debt of gratitude for his teachings.
Not even the Dao Support Sword Lord was qualified to approach the Heavenly Dao Fruit?
Zhu Xi fell into silence.
Daoist Sage Seeker quietly observed her, and after a long while, he spoke, "I have a method that can help you avoid being devoured."
Zhu Xi raised her head, looking at him with suspicion.
Daoist Sage Seeker continued, "What you need to do is surpass the Immortal Dao Ninth Heaven and possess the ability to roam the world freely. Can you do that?"
Zhu Xi spoke coldly, "I've long been capable of it. I've merely suppressed my cultivation. I can sense an all-powerful existence from beyond the heavens watching. If I break through, I'll face unforeseen dangers. Some Freedom Immortals require a thousand or ten thousand lifetimes of tribulations, but I only need one."
Daoist Sage Seeker was taken aback, clearly surprised by her words. He took a deep breath and sighed, "No wonder you're the chosen one of the Heavenly Spirit's Grand World. Since that's the case, I'll transmit my cultivation technique to you. Cultivate it first, and then break through."
Zhu Xi's right hand lowered, and the colossal wooden sword that had hung in the dim sky dissipated.
"Who are you, and why are you helping me?" Zhu Xi stared intently at Daoist Sage Seeker, hoping for an answer.
Daoist Sage Seeker turned and gazed towards the horizon, saying, "I do come from the heavens, but I'm not one of those arrogant fellows. I'm helping you to fulfill my heart's desire. My disciple died in this Great Thousand World."
Zhu Xi asked in surprise, "Does your disciple's death require such planning? Do you need my help for revenge?"
Daoist Sage Seeker glanced at her and said, "Your fusion with the Heavenly Dao Fruit will be enough to fulfill my heart's regret."
Zhu Xi's eyebrows knitted together, still somewhat puzzled.
But Daoist Sage Seeker said no more.
Suddenly, Zhu Xi seemed to realize something, her face changing dramatically as she looked at Daoist Sage Seeker in disbelief.
