Chapter 875 -874: The 2nd Unforgettable Dao Fruit

Guan Shanhai and Meng Junzi were fighting fervently when, in a corner of the Imperial City, a battle between Semi-Immortals began with Ao Ling and her two companions challenging the second Imperial Teacher who had manifested from the imprints.

After the second Imperial Teacher left the battlefield, Ao Ling and her two companions went directly to confront him.

Jin Caiwei was stabbed in a sneak attack by the second Imperial Teacher and she was intent on avenging this humiliation.

Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi feared that Jin Caiwei might suffer an accident, so they joined the battle as well. The second Imperial Teacher, having eradicated his own causality, was exceptionally elusive and difficult to fight.

Fairy Eternity noticed the commotion over there, and although she could see exactly where the second Imperial Teacher was, she chose not to inform the three women.

It was a good opportunity for the three women to gain experience by fighting against an Embryonic Causality Dao Fruit, especially with Fairy Eternity watching over them to ensure nothing went wrong.

General Yu thought about it and decided to lend a hand to the second Imperial Teacher as well.

On one side was a battle of Immortals, and on the other, five Semi-Immortals clashed. Either fight was a once-in-a-lifetime, breathtaking conflict. Even in the Ancient Times, when Semi-Immortals were common, battles of such caliber were rare. The Cultivators of the Imperial City wished they had eight eyes to watch both battles simultaneously.

They knew they would never have the chance to witness fights of this scale again in their lifetimes.

However, both battles were rather difficult to observe. On the side of the Immortals, Guan Shanhai and Meng Junzi moved so swiftly that they were virtually invisible to the observers.

As for the five Semi-Immortals, the second Imperial Teacher kept appearing and disappearing mysteriously. Whenever he vanished, memories of his existence faded, creating immense difficulty for the onlooking Cultivators of the Imperial City.

General Yu somewhat regretted deciding to help the second Imperial Teacher. Whenever the latter vanished, Ao Ling and her companions directed all their attacks at him, and he could barely withstand them.

…

Initially, Guan Shanhai thought that the Embryonic Longevity Dao Fruit alone would be sufficient to end the battle, but now it seemed he had underestimated Meng Junzi.

The two Immortals fought at high speeds, unleashing Divine Abilities of massive scale that interlaced and lit up the sky above the Imperial City in shades of blue and red, as if paint vats had been overturned.

Suddenly, due to a moment of negligence from Guan Shanhai, his reaction a beat too slow, Meng Junzi executed a Black Tiger Dig Heart strike, hitting Guan Shanhai squarely in the chest and leaving a huge gash in his Golden Body.

Meng Junzi practiced another form of Body Refinement, which was no less potent than Guan Shanhai’s Nine Revolutions Indestructible Golden Body.

Guan Shanhai’s face flushed red as he spat out a large mouthful of Immortal Blood. The blood landed on the Array Method deployed over the Imperial City which trembled and seemed barely able to withstand the power of the Immortal Blood.

Seeing this, Meng Poci realized that a few more such strikes might cause the Array Method to develop leaks from the aftermath. He hurriedly sent for all Transcendance Tribulation Stage Cultivators of the Imperial City to fortify the Array Method.

But Guan Shanhai quickly recovered, his chest wound healing at an astonishing speed, making it seem as if he had never been injured in the first place.

Meng Junzi raised an eyebrow, “The ‘Immortal’ trait of the Embryonic Longevity Dao Fruit, no, merely with the Embryonic Longevity Dao Fruit you shouldn’t be able to recover this quickly. Let me guess, among the four people you created, there’s one I do not recognize—his Dao Fruit is related to recovery, right?”

Naturally, Guan Shanhai would not respond to his enemy’s query.

Lu Yang knew that Meng Junzi was referring to the Daoist Lord of the Wooden Imprint, a Cultivator from the Middle Period of Great Yu and a close friend of the Master of All Laws. Historical records indicated that the Daoist Lord of the Wooden Imprint was a Pass Tribulation Cultivator, but according to the Master of All Laws, he was actually a Semi-Immortal.

The Daoist Lord of the Wooden Imprint died in his sleep, and Lu Yang guessed that he had learned some of the secrets of the Fire Dynasty and was silenced by Ashy Bean.

“Wait, if the Daoist Lord of the Wooden Imprint’s Embryonic Dao Fruit is related to recovery, wouldn’t that conflict with the Master of All Laws’ Embryonic Longevity Dao Fruit? How did they become friends then?” Lu Yang didn’t understand.

Fairy Eternity explained proudly, “What’s so hard to understand? The Daoist Lord of the Wooden Imprint’s Dao Fruit Embryo should be of the Eternity type, stabilizing one’s state for eternity. Ultimately, the superior Dao Fruits all come from my Eternity Dao Fruit.”

“You think cultivating an Eternity Dao Fruit or an Immortal Dao Fruit is easy? Even without me, he wouldn’t have achieved immortality.”

“That Longevity Dao Fruit Embryo is the same, its difficulty so great that neither Immortal nor Time Immortal could become Immortals,”

“Neither can become Immortals, so naturally, they became friends.”

However, Guan Shanhai threw out countless magic artifacts, not hurling them at Meng Junzi, but scattering them across various locations in the Imperial City sky.

Meng Junzi struck out at Guan Shanhai with extreme speed, only to find Guan Shanhai had vanished into thin air, replaced by magic artifacts appearing from seemingly nowhere.

The magic artifact shattered upon contact with Meng Junzi, breaking into countless pieces.

Guan Shanhai appeared behind Meng Junzi without any warning, attacking with a heaven-overturning force. Meng Junzi, caught unaware, was struck by Guan Shanhai and likewise spat blood.

Meng Junzi whipped his head around to look for Guan Shanhai and found that behind him there were only the magic artifacts previously thrown out by Guan Shanhai; Guan Shanhai had somehow moved to a very distant position.

Meng Junzi wiped the Immortal Blood from the corner of his mouth, revealing a sudden smile of realization, “I get it, you swapped places with the magic artifact.”

One of the functions of the Swap Dao Fruit Embryo is to exchange positions with any of one’s possessions.

Even if Meng Junzi smashed the magic artifact, it would be useless, for even shattered it was still Guan Shanhai’s possession and could be used to swap positions.

Meng Junzi continued his attack as if nothing had happened, while Guan Shanhai once again swapped places with a magic artifact, moving to a far-off position, but Meng Junzi miraculously crossed space and caught up with Guan Shanhai.

This time, without the need for Fairy Eternity’s explanation, Lu Yang realized on his own that Meng Junzi was borrowing the Embryonic Spatial Dao Fruit of his own ancestor, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord.

“Right, Fairy, since Senior Meng Junzi is borrowing a Dao Fruit, doesn’t that mean he’s like you, without the trait of being forgotten by mortals?”

Immortals wielding Dao Fruit powers are forgotten by the people, as it is with the Yingtian Immortal and the Four Immortals, and so too with Jiang Pingan’s Dao Fruit. Only Fairy Eternity doesn’t possess this trait.

Lu Yang felt that Borrowing Dao Fruits probably also lacks the trait of being forgotten by mortals.

Otherwise, Meng Junzi could simply borrow things and never return them.

Fairy Eternity hadn’t thought about this before, but upon hearing Lu Yang’s words, she began to ponder seriously, “Now that you mention it, it does seem to be the case.”

Lu Yang added, “If we assume that Emperor Xia’s lifespan was borrowed by Senior Meng Junzi, as a Dao Fruit power, it should be forgotten by the people, but in reality it isn’t, everyone knows there was an issue with Emperor Xia’s lifespan.”

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind Lu Yang, “Oh, I didn’t expect my Junior Brother to think of that layer too, it seems the Fairy Senior has indeed shared with you many things that your cultivation level should not know.”

Yun Zhi stood quietly under an old tree in a simple white dress, as if time had frozen around her; she seemed both as if she had just arrived and as if she had always been there.

The sunlight filtered through the scarce leaves, casting mottled shadows below, her silhouette appeared exquisitely detached.

“Eldest Senior Sister!”

Lu Yang exclaimed excitedly.

The moment he learned of the hoax surrounding Emperor Xia’s death, Lu Yang realized that Eldest Senior Sister had long since arrived at the Imperial City.

This was a battle of Immortals; they wouldn’t have allowed him to oversee it.

Nonetheless, seeing Eldest Senior Sister here was a delight.
