Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 503: The national teacher who was bombed for ten days
Chapter 503: The national teacher who was bombed for ten days
"Does having too many karmic ties really affect cultivation?"
"Hard to say. I don't think so, but plenty of people do." Immortal Fairy shrugged, her views always differing from the norm.
"Do you remember that immortals have the trait of forgetting? Doesn't it seem somewhat similar to this?"
With Immortal Fairy's reminder, Lu Yang realized that it was indeed the case. In a sense, the trait of immortals was like a manifestation of severing karmic ties.
"The trait of immortals... is it to sever karmic ties?"
"Exactly. Heavenly Immortal Ying and the others believe that only by severing all karmic ties can one's cultivation advance further. But I don't think so. I believe the more karmic ties, the higher the cultivation."
"Advance further?"
Lu Yang seemed to have heard something incredible: "Can immortals advance further?"
"We used five Dao fruits to calculate it. Theoretically, it's possible, but no one has succeeded. No one knows if it's truly achievable. Jiuchong Immortal was the first to become an immortal. At least among the five of us, no one has succeeded. No one before us has either."
"The trait of immortals is actually a term coined by Heavenly Immortal Ying and the others. They were the first to become immortals. When they condensed their Dao fruits, they chose the trait of forgetting. They didn't consult me and just called it the 'trait of immortals.'"
"I was the last to become an immortal. I didn't choose to forget when I became one, so I don't have the trait of immortals."
"So, the trait of immortals isn't a necessary trait for immortals, but rather the result of each immortal's different choices?"
"Exactly. Look at that immortal who holds the nation's fate. He also chose the trait of forgetting."
"But isn't his Dao fruit related to the power of a nation's fate and Great Xia? He has heavy karmic ties, unmatched by anyone. Why would he choose this path?"
"It's simple. He wants to advance further. When the time comes, he can just replace the bearer of the karmic ties."
"Didn't you just say that the origin of the third leader's statue was originally ironclad proof of the third leader's existence? The third leader and his statue had karmic ties. Now it's been replaced by the sect leader's dream, creating karmic ties between the sect leader and the statue."
"The third leader set the goal of making the barbecue shop big and strong. All actions of the barbecue shop followed this goal, creating karmic ties between the third leader and all subsequent actions. Now it's been changed to the sect leader's goal, meaning the sect leader bears all these karmic ties."
"This is an example of replacing the bearer of karmic ties. Replacement is also a form of forgetting."
Lu Yang vaguely grasped a clue, but Immortal Fairy had said so much that the clues seemed numerous, making it hard to start.
"Alright, let's not talk about this. Let's save the third leader first."
"How?" Lu Yang was puzzled. He hadn't even found the whereabouts of the Immortal Fairy.
Immortal Fairy put her hands on her hips and ordered Lu Yang, "Go get Little Yun. How can a subordinate not work and make the sect leader do everything?"
Under the pressure of the acting sect leader, Lu Yang had no choice but to go to Prison Peak to find the eldest senior sister.
The eldest senior sister was interrogating Black and White Venerable at Prison Peak.
When Lu Yang arrived, the eldest senior sister was whipping Black and White Venerable. He looked like an old man, but his body was tough, screaming in pain but not dying from the lashes.
"Junior brother, is something the matter?"
The eldest senior sister stopped, the whip cracking in the air, folding into three sections, and held it in her hand with practiced ease.
"It's like this..."
Lu Yang explained what he had discovered and Immortal Fairy's speculations.
Black and White Venerable listened on the side, his heart pounding. He had spent a lifetime secretly researching but never figured out what the national teacher's embryonic form of the Dao fruit was. How did they determine it in just a few words?
From their conversation, it seemed Seek Tao Sect also had a half-immortal, and the national teacher was currently battling him?
And why did their target for this mission—Lu Yang, who was only at the Golden Elixir stage—know about these things?
What kind of place was Seek Tao Sect?
"Senior, please come out."
The eldest senior sister, expressionless, invited Immortal Fairy out. Immortal Fairy, like a child who had done something wrong, shrank back upon seeing the eldest senior sister.
But then she thought, wait a minute, she's the acting sect leader. What was there to fear?
The eldest senior sister calmly looked at the bowing Immortal Fairy, "I should have told you, senior, that Lu Yang is still young and his cultivation is insufficient. Matters of immortals and Dao fruits are too distant for him. Don't discuss these things to avoid making him aim too high and affecting his cultivation. You've said too much this time."
"My mistake." Immortal Fairy, as the acting sect leader, could bend and stretch, admitting her fault when she was wrong.
"How does senior plan to find the Immortal Fairy whose karmic ties have been erased?"
The eldest senior sister naturally remembered the existence of the Immortal Fairy.
"Heh, others might be hard to find, but finding the third leader is easy."
Immortal Fairy smiled proudly, confident in her Dao fruit. She had Lu Yang take out the Immortal Fairy statue from the barbecue shop and then recited the third leader's title and name.
"Immortal Fairy, shameless."
...
In a makeshift space, two figures were panting heavily.

"He's really tough to deal with. What exactly is the embryonic form of this guy's Dao fruit?" The Immortal Fairy, possessing all the memories of the Immortal Sect's followers, had an immense amount of memories but knew nothing about this level of battle. He still hadn't figured out the national teacher's embryonic form of the Dao fruit.
Ten days of continuous self-detonation, even with the embryonic form of the Immortal Dao fruit, was unbearable.
If it were a complete Immortal Dao fruit, no matter how many times he self-detonated, it would be fine. Unfortunately, the Immortal Fairy's embryonic form of the Dao fruit had only condensed half a year ago, far from a complete Immortal Dao fruit.
To be able to fight on par with the national teacher, who had condensed the embryonic form of the karmic Dao fruit for thousands of years, was no small feat.
The Immortal Fairy was in a sorry state, but the national teacher was even worse. He couldn't count how many times he had been blown up in the past ten days, with no part of his body left unscathed.
He had encountered stronger opponents, but never one as troublesome as this.
He had thought about escaping midway, but whenever he tried to disappear and erase the karmic ties, this guy would self-detonate, causing space to tremble and making it impossible to open a single rift.
"What luck, running into the true protector of Seek Tao Sect!" Even with his good temper, the national teacher couldn't help but curse in this situation.
"The true protector? I've only been at Seek Tao Sect for half a year."
"Half a year? You, a dignified half-immortal, are staying in such a small place? What's worth staying here for? I was wrong. I shouldn't have attacked you. How about this, we didn't know each other before, but now we do. If you have nowhere to go, you can come to Great Yu. I have a way to help you restore your physical body!"
The national teacher thought the other was staying here to restore his physical body, thinking there was no need for them to fight to the death and that they could cooperate.
The Immortal Fairy looked at the national teacher with a hostile expression, thinking he was quite insidious, "I'm a prisoner, and you're inciting me to escape?"
"A prisoner?"
The national teacher was horrified. Who could imprison a half-immortal?
Suddenly, the Immortal Fairy froze, a smile appearing on his lips. He sensed the eldest senior sister calling him.
Taking advantage of the national teacher's moment of distraction, he acted instantly, grabbing the national teacher tightly.
The national teacher inwardly cursed, realizing he was in trouble. The Immortal Fairy had caught him off guard for a close-range self-detonation!
In the past, whenever the Immortal Fairy self-detonated, he relied on the embryonic form of the karmic Dao fruit to stay far away.
If he were blown up a few times at close range, he would have been dead long ago.
Unexpectedly, the Immortal Fairy didn't choose to self-detonate. A spatial door appeared behind him, and he took a step back with the national teacher in tow.
Thud.
The two half-immortal level powerhouses fell simultaneously onto Prison Peak.
The national teacher looked bewildered at the cold-faced eldest senior sister and the grinning Immortal Fairy.
