Chapter 507: Chapter 506: The Imperial Teacher is Probably Beyond Saving _1

Captive Peak is usually quiet, except for the cries of prisoners echoing in the air.

These cries usually die down quickly when the prisoners confess. Those who refuse meet their end, turned into Spirit Devices.

Today was different. The prisoner was howling non-stop for an hour.

Being a cultivator with high strength, the prisoner did not lose his voice.

“So, what should we do then?”

Lu Yang, Fairy Eternity, and the Eldest Senior Sister all seemed helpless as they watched the Imperial Teacher still wailing.

The Eldest Senior Sister even found him too noisy and set up a soundproof Array Method so he could scream inside it without disturbing others.

Instantly, it became quiet again.

With a shake of his head, Lu Yang expressed regret. He finally caught a key figure from the Great Yu, but he was a tough nut to crack, preferring to be consumed by the curse than revealing any information.

Yun Zhi had tried many ways to remove the curse, but none worked on the Imperial Teacher.

When faced with one of the many difficulties and sufferings, Yun Zhi would simply apply her magic skills. However, this curse encapsulated all kinds of difficulties and sufferings. Moreover, he was unable to further his cultivation level while alive and his soul would scatter upon death.

This was an unprecedented massive curse, and even the Imperial Teacher, who’s partially mastered the Causality Dao Fruit, could not break it.

“What if we let Fairy give him Dao Fruit and let him explode several times to break the curse, and then retrieve the Dao Fruit again?”

Those who possess the complete Dao Fruit have absolute control over the Dao Fruit and can freely give or take it away.

Fairy Eternity shook her head, refusing Lu Yang’s suggestion, “No, he already has a Dao Fruit within him. A person can’t own two Dao Fruits at the same time.”

“Even if he didn’t have the Causality Dao Fruit, I couldn’t give him mine.”

“Dao Fruit isn’t like clothing- you can’t just put it on and off as you like.”

“Dao Fruit represents rules. To obtain the Dao Fruit, one must understand the rules it represents. This fool knows nothing about my Eternity Dao Fruit. If I give it to him directly, his soul wouldn’t be able to withstand the power of the Eternity Dao Fruit, and he would perish.”

The Imperial Teacher’s various performances led Fairy Eternity to question his sanity. She feared the seemingly Semi-Immortal was not so in reality.

“Wait a minute, Fairy. Then, I don’t understand the Eternity Dao Fruit either. Can you hand me the Eternity Dao Fruit?” Lu Yang remembered how Fairy Eternity insisted on giving him the Eternity Dao Fruit.

Fairy Eternity looked at Lu Yang in astonishment, “Second-in-command, what are you talking about? Under my long-term guidance and subtle influences, your understanding of the Eternity Dao Fruit is way ahead of the third-in-command.”

Lu Yang: “…”

What? When did that happen, and why didn’t I know about it?

𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

“You think I made you the second-in-command just because we have a good relationship? How could that be? I am fair and impartial. Ranking of the Eternity lineage depends on one’s ability!”

Hearing about the opportunity to be promoted, the third-in-command hurriedly came over, “I will study the Eternity Dao Fruit with dedication, striving to become the second-in-command!”

Fairy Eternity glanced distastefully at the third-in-command and dismissively said, “Go away! What are you doing here? If you dare to become the second-in-command, I will take away your Dao Fruit.”

Watching Lu Yang with envy, the third-in-command slinked away.

“Could the power of State Destiny lift the curse?” Lu Yang remembered how Meng Jingzhou from his sect, who was deeply cursed, managed to break the curse with the power of State Destiny.

Eldest Senior Sister nodded, “That might work.”

She snapped her fingers and the Imperial Teacher, who was rolling in pain on the ground, floated and started rolling in the air.

“I will go to the imperial palace. Stay here and wait for me.”

If they want to use the power of State Destiny, it would be best to look for it at its source.

Leaving behind these words, the Eldest Senior Sister headed for the palace.

The prisoners held at Captive Peak were all severe criminals. Those who were faint-hearted would tremble just by standing there.

Lu Yang was not afraid though. Both the newcomers and old-timers of Captive Peak knew him.

The newcomers were the ones he brought in, while the old-timers watched as Lu Yang brought the newcomers in.

Ironically, it was the prisoners who were afraid of Lu Yang.

The prisoners of Captive Peak discussed quietly, fearful of being heard by Lu Yang.

They only had their souls left and their powers and Spiritual Sense were sealed. The prisoners had developed their own ways to discuss things without getting caught by Lu Yang.

The cells of Captive Peak were made of refined stone, specifically for sealing souls and could not be destroyed.

The convicts would talk to the iron bars, and the sound would be transmitted by the vibrations of the bars. They would then use their sensitive souls to detect the message.

“Oh my god, did you see that fight? A Semi-Immortal level powerhouse attacked Lu Yang, and he took it without even retaliating, simply falling down.”

“This Lu Yang is inscrutable. He appears to be at the Golden Core Stage, but his actual strength must be far beyond that.”

“Did you notice, ever since this Lu Yang joined the Seek Dao Sect, more and more people come to Captive Peak. It started with Unification Stage, then Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and now even a Semi-Immortal. Do you think a Golden Core Stage could do this?”

“I have never seen a Semi-Immortal in my life. I didn’t expect to see one here.”

“Is this the Great Era’s war? Even a Semi-Immortal falls and becomes a prisoner.”

The prisoners felt more and more uneasy as they discussed among themselves. Lu Yang was becoming more and more inscrutable to them, and they decided not to provoke him by any means.

Lu Yang didn’t know what the prisoners were discussing. He continued his conversation with Fairy Eternity on high-end topics during the Eldest Senior Sister’s absence.

“Fairy, if Immortals need to sever causality for further progress, then isn’t the Imperial Teacher who mastered the Causality Dao Fruit having an advantage?”

“It’s not that Immortals need to sever causality for further progress. It’s the Yingtian Immortals who believe that this is necessary.” Fairy Eternity emphasized.

“Alright, it’s the Yingtian Immortals who think so. But if the Imperial Teacher formed the Causality Dao Fruit, he could freely sever causality, couldn’t he rise above the Immortals?”

Fairy Eternity shook her head, “Not exactly. When the Imperial Teacher condensed the Causality Dao fruit, he became deeply connected with the concept of ‘causality’. When the Causality Dao Fruit is formed, he would be even more tightly connected to it, becoming one.”

“Since he’s become one with ‘causality’, how can he sever it?”

“He must have heard from somewhere how Immortals value causality. That’s why he struggled to form the Causality Dao Fruit. Little did he know that he’s chosen a wrong path, which is a fundamental mistake.”

“There are no shortcuts to becoming an Immortal. It won’t work to cut corners.”

“That being said, even though there might be realms above Immortals, none of the five of us really cares.”

“Why?”

“Because it’s unnecessary. We’ve all become Immortals. We have infinite lifespans and no adversaries. Life is great. Why the need to pursue a higher realm?”

Lu Yang felt the explanation from Fairy Eternity was very reasonable.
