Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 874: The Second Dao Fruit That Won’t Be Forgotten

Chapter 874: The Second Dao Fruit That Won’t Be Forgotten

While Guan Shanhai and Meng Junzi’s battle intensified, a half-immortal battle also broke out in a corner of the imperial city, where Ao Ling’s trio clashed with the imprinted Second Imperial Preceptor.

After the Second Imperial Preceptor left the main battlefield, Ao Ling’s trio had directly confronted him.

The Second Imperial Preceptor had ambushed and stabbed Jin Caiwei, and she was determined to have her revenge.

Worried that Jin Caiwei might meet with a mishap, Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi also joined the fight. The Second Imperial Preceptor was an intractable opponent, for he could erase his own karma, becoming elusive and unpredictable.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy noticed the commotion over there. Although she could clearly see the Second Imperial Preceptor’s position, she didn’t inform the three women.

It’s a good chance for them to gain experience battling with the Karma Incipient Dao Fruit. Anyway, with me watching, nothing will go wrong.

General Yu pondered for a bit and decided to lend a hand to the Second Imperial Preceptor.

On one side, it was an immortal battle; on the other, a battle between five half-immortals. Both were legendary clashes not to be missed. Even during the ancient era, when half-immortals were abundant, battles of this caliber were rare.

The imperial city’s cultivators wished they had eight eyes to watch both fights simultaneously. They would never have another opportunity in their lifetimes to witness battles of such magnitude.

However, both battles were rather difficult to observe. In the immortal battle, Guan Shanhai and Meng Junzi moved at absurd speeds, far beyond what these spectating cultivators could follow with their eyes.

As for the five half-immortals, the Second Imperial Preceptor flickered in and out of existence. When he vanished, memories of him also disappeared, making it difficult for the cultivators below to catch a glimpse.

General Yu somewhat regretted helping the Second Imperial Preceptor. When the Second Imperial Preceptor disappeared, he couldn’t withstand all of the attacks from Ao Ling’s trio landing on him.

Initially, Guan Shanhai thought that using only the Longevity Incipient Dao Fruit would resolve the battle. Now it seems that I had underestimated Meng Junzi.

The two immortals fought at extreme speeds. Various large-scale divine abilities clashed, painting the imperial city’s sky in patches of blue and red, as if dye vats had overturned.

Suddenly, Guan Shanhai had a momentary lapse, his reaction slowed by a beat. Meng Junzi executed Black Tiger Heart Strike, hitting Guan Shanhai’s chest. Even the latter’s golden body was ripped open with a large gash.

Meng Junzi practiced another body refinement technique, whose might was no less than Guan Shanhai’s Nine-Cycle Imperishable Golden Body.

Guan Shanhai’s face flushed, and he vomited a large mouthful of blood. The immortal blood splattered onto the barrier deployed over the imperial city, causing it to shake, and the barrier struggled to hold up against the immortal blood’s power.

Meng Poci knew that if this happened a few more times, the array would develop gaps from the residual shockwaves. He hastily dispatched people to request all Transcendent Tribulation cultivators in the imperial city to step forth and reinforce the array.

However, Guan Shanhai quickly recovered. The wound on his chest healed rapidly, as if he had never been injured.

Meng Junzi raised an eyebrow. “The ‘undying’ trait of the Longevity Incipient Dao Fruit? No, the Longevity Incipient Dao Fruit shouldn’t allow such swift recovery. Let me guess. Among the four people you created, there was only one whom I didn’t recognize. His Incipient Dao Fruit is related to recovery, right?”

Guan Shanhai naturally wouldn’t answer an enemy’s question.

Lu Yang knew Meng Junzi was referring to the Wood Seal Savant, a cultivator from the mid-Great Qian era and also a good friend of the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord. Historical materials recorded him as a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator, but according to the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord, the Wood Seal Savant was actually a half-immortal.

The Wood Seal Savant had died in his slumber. Lu Yang speculated that he knew something about the Ember Legacy Dynasty and was silenced by Hui Doudou.

“Wait, if the Wood Seal Savant’s Incipient Dao Fruit is related to recovery, doesn’t that conflict with the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord’s Longevity Incipient Dao Fruit? How did they become friends?” Lu Yang was perplexed.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy explained smugly, “What’s so hard to understand? The Wood Seal Savant’s Incipient Dao Fruit likely belongs to the ‘eternity’ category, meaning it keeps one’s own state unchanging. Ultimately, the upper Dao Fruit is still this immortal’s Everlasting Dao Fruit.

“The Everlasting Dao Fruit and the Eternity Dao Fruits are extremely difficult to condense. Even if this immortal weren’t here, he couldn’t become an immortal.

“The same goes for that Longevity Incipient Dao Fruit. Its difficulty is so great that without this immortal and the Epoch Immortal, no one could have become an immortal.

“Since neither could become an immortal, they naturally could become friends.”

Just then, Guan Shanhai hurled countless magical treasures, but not at Meng Junzi, and instead scattered them throughout the skies above the imperial city.

Meng Junzi attacked Guan Shanhai at extreme speed, only to see Guan Shanhai vanish into thin air, replaced by a magical treasure that appeared from nowhere.

That magical treasure shattered upon Meng Junzi’s touch, breaking into countless fragments.

Without any warning, Guan Shanhai appeared behind Meng Junzi, attacking again with the Overturning Heaven momentum. Caught off guard, Meng Junzi was struck and also spat blood.

Meng Junzi whirled around to look at Guan Shanhai, only to find the magical treasures Guan Shanhai had previously tossed behind him. Through some method, Guan Shanhai had moved to a faraway location.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Meng Junzi revealed a faint smile of realization. “I got it. You exchanged positions with the magical treasures.” One of the functions of the Replacement Incipient Dao Fruit was to exchange positions with any of one’s possessions.

It was useless even if Meng Junzi shattered the treasures. They were still Guan Shanhai’s possessions, and he could still exchange positions with them.

Meng Junzi continued his assault without batting an eyelid. Guan Shanhai exchanged positions with a magical treasure again, moving far away. However, Meng Junzi also traversed space, catching up to Guan Shanhai.

This time, even without the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s explanation, Lu Yang could tell that Meng Junzi was borrowing the Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s Space Incipient Dao Fruit. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

“By the way, Immortal Fairy, since Senior Meng Junzi has the Borrowing-Lending Dao Fruit, doesn’t that mean he doesn’t have the immortal trait of oblivion like you?”

When an immortal employed their Dao Fruit’s abilities, the world would forget. It was the case for the Four Ancient Immortals and Jiang Ping’an’s Dao Fruit. Only the Everlasting Immortal Fairy didn’t possess such a trait.

Lu Yang felt that the Borrowing-Lending Dao Fruit also lacked the immortal trait of oblivion. Otherwise, Meng Junzi could simply borrow things and never return them.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy hadn’t considered this issue. Hearing Lu Yang bring it up, she began to contemplate seriously. “Now that you mention it, it seems that is indeed the case.”

Lu Yang added, “Assuming the Xia Emperor’s lifespan was borrowed by Meng Junzi, that would count as a Dao Fruit ability and should be forgotten by the world. But in reality, it wasn’t. Everyone knew the Xia Emperor had a problem with his lifespan.”

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind Lu Yang. “Oh, I didn’t expect Little Junior Brother to have considered even this layer. Senior Immortal Fairy has indeed told you many things that you shouldn’t be privy to at your current cultivation level.”

Yun Zhi stood quietly under an old tree, clad in a plain white dress. Time seemed to freeze. She appeared to have just arrived, yet it also felt like she had been standing there all along.

Sunlight filtered through the sparse leaves, casting dappled, shifting shadows. Her figure seemed particularly cool and detached.

“Big Senior Sister!” Lu Yang called out in delight.

The moment he learned that the Xia Emperor’s death was a ruse, Lu Yang realized that Yun Zhi had long since arrived in the imperial city.

This is an immortal battle; she can’t possibly let me supervise it.

Nevertheless, it is still very heartening to see Big Senior Sister here.
