Li Haoran and Lu Yang's Differences
When Yun Zhi said she couldn't tell either, the Immortal Fairy breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hehe, I knew this thing was from a different major, nobody could tell."
This shows that her inability to see Li Haoran's problem wasn't due to a lack of insight, but simply because it was the truth.
"I observe that Junior Brother Li's body is no different from that of an ordinary person, and there is no sign of him possessing the Dao Fruit."
"So there's nothing wrong with my body?"
Yun Zhi gently shook her head. "No, this actually indicates that there is something wrong with your body. Your body is no different from that of an ordinary person, so where did the memory fragments come from?"
"The matter of the Dao Fruit involves the principles of the world, which I cannot fully understand or comprehend. Junior Brother Li's situation requires further consideration."
"If Junior Brother Li obtains any other memory fragments in the future, please inform the sect. The more we know, the easier it will be to analyze what exactly happened to you. Moreover, this is also an opportunity to learn about the Nine Nether Sect."
Li Haoran nodded. If he were to obtain another memory fragment, he would definitely tell his sect. He felt uneasy if he didn't tell them.
He was just a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. He suddenly learned that he was the leader of one of the four great demonic sects. Anyone would be flustered in that situation and would need to find a powerful backer.
Fortunately, the Ask Dao Sect, to which he belonged, was the world's largest backer.
"I have one more question."
"Feel free to ask."
"You've been talking about Dao Guo (道果) since just now. What is Dao Guo?"
Dai Bufan then realized that Li Haoran did not know what the Dao Fruit was.
That makes sense when you think about it. The Dao Fruit is the foundation for becoming an immortal. How could someone at the Foundation Establishment Realm possibly be qualified to know about the Dao Fruit?
Then why did he instinctively think that it was normal for the Foundation Establishment Realm to know about Dao Fruits?
Dai Bufan looked at the two remaining Foundation Establishment Realm present— Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.
How do you two know about the Dao Fruit?
Such top-level secrets as the Dao Fruit are not even widely known even among ordinary Body Integration Realm. Only those in the late or peak Body Integration Realm are qualified to learn about the Dao Fruit. For example, Su Yiren only has a general understanding of the concept of the Dao Fruit, and her knowledge of it is not as extensive as Lu Yang's.
Dai Bufan was an exception. Although he was only at the Integrated Body Early Stage Realm, he was in charge of the Mission Hall and had access to many intelligence channels, so he knew a lot about Dao Fruits.
Furthermore, his combat strength cannot be considered as that of Integrated Body Early Stage.
Theoretically speaking, Li Haoran is not qualified to know about Dao Fruits, but there may be a nascent Dao Fruit hidden within Li Haoran. It would be unreasonable not to tell him this.
Therefore, the senior sister briefly explained some knowledge about Dao Fruits to Li Haoran, and only then did Li Haoran realize its importance.
He is now connected not only to the Nine Nether Sect, but more importantly, to a possible path to immortality.
If outsiders knew this, countless people would be tempted. Li Haoran now is like Tang Sanzang's flesh in his previous life; regardless of whether they can obtain the Reincarnation Fruit, they should bind Li Haoran first.
"Behind the nascent Immortal Dao Fruit is an immortal. Could the nascent Reincarnation Dao Fruit be the same?" Back at Heaven Gate Peak, Lu Yang was somewhat worried about Li Haoran's situation.
If an immortal were to intervene, capturing Li Haoran and taking the Reincarnation Dao Fruit or its nascent form would be effortless; Li Haoran would have absolutely no ability to resist.
"That's why I just advised Junior Brother Li not to leave the Ask Dao Sect unless there are special circumstances. He's safe inside the Ask Dao Sect."
His tone was calm, yet it conveyed absolute confidence.
Yun Zhi didn't have this requirement for Lu Yang. She never stopped him from going out, and even encouraged him to go out and broaden his horizons instead of staying cooped up in the Ask Dao Sect all day.
In fact, Lu Yang's situation was even more dangerous than Li Haoran's. Li Haoran only had a suspected rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit within him, while Lu Yang had a real immortal within his body that everyone hated, plus an immortal Dao Fruit that even the Four Immortals of High Antiquity envied.
However, when Lu Yang encounters danger, he can unleash the ultimate form of the Imitation Fist and summon his senior sister.
If Li Haoran is Tang Sanzang, then Lu Yang is Tang Sanzang who can summon the Buddha. The two are on completely different levels in terms of safety.
"I heard from the fairy that the appearance of a Dao Fruit represents the emergence of a new rule in the world. I wonder if there have been any Dao Fruits that have had an effect on the whole world since High Antiquity?"
The eldest sister looked at Lu Yang quietly, her eyes as calm as the surface of a lake, making Lu Yang feel uneasy. He didn't know if a few seconds, minutes, or even a lifetime had passed before he heard the eldest sister slowly speak.
"Senior, please come out for a chat."
"What's wrong?" The Immortal Fairy was confused.
"Junior Brother is only at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Knowing too many secrets that only powerful beings are qualified to know could easily lead to an overly ambitious mindset, which would be detrimental to his future cultivation. Please consider Junior Brother's level when you tell him these things."
"Oh, okay."
The Immortal Fairy actually wanted to say that she had considered Lu Yang's level of cultivation when she spoke, but she didn't dare to contradict him in front of Yun Zhi.
Just wait until I regain my strength and then I'll turn the tables and suppress this little brat!
"After High Antiquity, there were indeed Dao Fruits that influenced the whole world, and you are very familiar with this influence." The senior sister felt it wouldn't hurt for Lu Yang to know about this.
"I'm very familiar with this?" Lu Yang was slightly surprised. Apart from the changes in the stars and the continent, what's different now High Antiquity times?
Not only Lu Yang, but even the Immortal Fairy hadn't anticipated the differences between the present High Antiquity times.
"It's the Great Xia Dynasty," Yun Zhi revealed the answer.
"What about the Great Xia Dynasty?" Lu Yang didn't understand.
"It's the entire Great Xia Dynasty."
Lu Yang's eyes widened suddenly. What did he mean by the entire Great Xia Dynasty?
Lu Yang pressed his senior sister for the meaning of her words, but she felt that further explanation was beyond Lu Yang's level of understanding and did not delve deeper into the matter.
The immortal fairy seemed to understand something, as if she had grasped its meaning.
"Junior Brother, have you made any progress on the Core Formation matter?" As Lu Yang's nominal senior sister and actual master, Yun Zhi often kept track of Lu Yang's cultivation progress.
Lu Yang shook his head helplessly. "There are too many types of Golden Core, it's really hard to choose. I haven't decided which one to form yet."
However, we can rule out the Immortal Fairy's invincible pill for now.
He followed Li Haoran home, hoping to gain some insights and experiences from meeting different people and encountering different things during the journey.
My biggest takeaway from this trip is that being a kept man is really delicious.
So, you want to become a Golden Core?
I'd be too ashamed to tell anyone.
"There's no need to rush the Core Formation process; just let it happen naturally."
"By the way, Senior Sister, I saw the Core Formation experiences of all the senior brothers and sisters in the Scripture Depository, but yours was not mentioned. How did you form your Core, and what kind of Core did you form?"
Seeing the person involved here, Lu Yang couldn't resist his curiosity and asked.
Maybe I'll be just as outstanding as my senior sister?
