The National Preceptor's Nascent Dao Fruit

The Imperial Preceptor outwardly pretends to be at the Body Integration Realm, but this pretense might fool those at the Body Integration Realm or the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, but it won't fool cultivators at the same level.

If the Imperial Advisor were to seriously feign ignorance, he might be able to deceive cultivators of the same cultivation level.

But he never imagined he would encounter a half-immortal level expert at the Ask Dao Sect!

The Imperial Advisor was filled with a huge wave of shock. This was only one of the Five Great Immortal Sects. At most, a few Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators would be considered very powerful. How could there be a Half-Immortal level expert here!

The immortal being stared at the Grand Preceptor with a solemn expression.

Between people of the same cultivation level, without special Cultivation Method, it is impossible to see through each other's cultivation.

If two cultivators meet and cannot discern each other's cultivation level, there are two possibilities: either the other's cultivation level is higher than their own, or the other's cultivation level is the same as their own.

Immortals are nowhere to be found in the world; the chances of an immortal appearing are extremely small.

The other party must be a half-immortal level expert.

Those who possess the rudiments of a Dao Fruit are considered half-immortal level experts.

Is the visitor good or evil?

The Imperial Advisor steeled his resolve. Although his opponent was a demigod, he was now only a soul, and his combat power was diminished. A swift victory was the best course of action.

He decisively used a semi-immortal-level Law Treasure he had refined for three thousand years—an octagonal porcelain plate. The plate was smashed on the ground, and the scattered porcelain shards formed a closed space, trapping both of them inside. He then used the power of the nascent Dao Fruit to sever the connection between the immortal immortal and the outside world.

"Business is good today, the immortals should..." the cult leader said while skewering the food.

Suddenly, he paused.

Immortal? What kind of immortal?

The cult leader looked around the small shop. Customers were coming and going in a steady stream. Chef Gao and Chef Liu were extremely busy. Several elders of the cult were serving dishes and washing plates. Three beautiful ghosts were soliciting customers at the door.

"Old Gao, Old Liu, do you guys feel like someone's missing?"

Master Gao and Master Liu looked around, completely bewildered. "No, everyone's here, aren't they?"

"Is that so?" The cult leader frowned, then slowly relaxed.

"I remembered it wrong."

"Enemy!"

The immortal immortal was caught off guard by the imperial advisor, who trapped him in a hastily constructed small space. It was clear that the advisor intended to kill him.

Do you really think you're easy to bully?

The immortal sage let out a clear cry, unleashing streaks of golden light that rippled through space, like a celestial blade high above in the midst of calamity, severing the Spirit Root.

"So what if it's the Heavenly Blade? Destiny belongs to my Great Yu, the Chaos Sacred Lotus!"

The Imperial Preceptor gave a light rebuke, and a lotus flower shrouded in chaotic mist flew out from between his brows. The petals emitted a white halo, which flowed like a torrent, surging and never ceasing, illuminating all directions and melting the golden rays.

"The Chaos Sacred Lotus?" The immortal was astonished. This was a top-tier Tribulation Transcendence sacred artifact, whose chaotic energy could offset tribulation punishments. It was specifically designed for cultivators who broke through to the Tribulation Transcendence stage.

This kind of thing has always existed in legends; he had never heard of anyone possessing it.

"You do have some knowledge. This is something I dug up in the far north. It's the source of an entire Chaos Mountain Range, a symbol of destiny."

"Destiny my ass! Destiny resides in my immortal lineage!"

"The Immortal Lineage?" The Imperial Advisor frowned; he had never heard of this lineage.

"Ignorant fool! The Immortal lineage is extremely powerful, yet I only rank third within it!"

The immortal sneered, startling the imperial advisor.

If a demigod-level expert is only ranked third, who are the top two?

They're at least half-immortals!

"The torture of branding with hot irons!"

The Imperial Advisor took out eight copper rods from his storage ring. The rods were planted in the ground and instantly expanded and grew larger, transforming into towering copper pillars.

"Certainly!"

The Imperial Advisor pointed at the Immortal, and countless iron chains extended from the eight towering bronze pillars. The Immortal tried to move away to dodge, but found that he had formed a karmic bond with the iron chains and could not sever it.

This is a guaranteed hit Law Technique!

Iron chains bound the immortal being, suspending him in the very center of eight bronze pillars!

Sizzle--

A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared directly above, raging through space, concentrating on a single point, and striking the immortal!

"The Butterfly Dream Technique."

The immortal closed his eyes, transforming into countless celestial butterflies that broke free from their chains, then reassembled, standing atop the bronze pillar, watching the lightning miss its mark.

"Overturning Sea Seal!" The Grand Preceptor flipped his hand, and a deep blue palm print, carrying the fishy smell of the sea breeze, roared in and pressed down on the Immortal.

During the Great Yu period, the Overturning Sea Seal possessed formidable power. A general who was guarding the eastern sea frontier and was in the Tribulation Transcendence stage used the Overturning Sea Seal to repel a million sea creatures that came to invade with a single palm strike, instantly turning the sea surface red.

This is only a technique used by Tribulation Transcendence stage; if a half-immortal level expert were to use it, its power would be even greater!

"Great Free and Easy Palm!"

The palm collided with the seal, producing a deafening roar; bones and flesh flew everywhere, and souls dissolved.

The Imperial Preceptor lost an arm, and his immortal blood dripped down, turning into a vast sea of blood.

The Imperial Advisor snorted coldly, took a elixir made from a thousand kinds of precious medicinal herbs, and quickly recovered from his injuries. The bones healed, the muscles attached, the skin covered, and his arm was restored.

"Physical injuries can heal quickly, but let's see what you're going to do about your soul injuries!"

The Imperial Advisor, gazing at the immortal being with a broken soul, was confident of victory and unleashed the Sea-Covering Seal once more, intending to kill him with a single blow.

The soul is the foundation; once damaged, even a great elixir is extremely difficult to restore.

"No need for you to trouble yourself, Great Freedom Palm!"

Upon exchanging blows with the immortal, the Grand Preceptor immediately sensed something amiss. The opponent's soul had been damaged, and he should only be able to unleash seventy or eighty percent of his cultivation. How could he still be at his peak?

What the Grand Preceptor didn't know was that in the face of the nascent Immortal Dao Fruit, there was never such a thing as soul damage; if the soul was damaged, it could be restored instantly.

The two exchanged hundreds of blows in a short period, unleashing a flurry of techniques that kept the eye on them.

"Cough."

The Imperial Advisor coughed up blood, and surprisingly, he was at a disadvantage in the fight.

The strength of his opponent exceeded his expectations.

As a substitute for the Immortal Fairy, the Immortal Immortal has always been very powerful. However, he was attacked by three powerful beings, Lu Yang, the Immortal Fairy, and Yun Zhi, and became a prisoner as soon as he debuted. His strength had no chance to be displayed.

"Okay, okay, I underestimated you."

Knowing that he would not gain an advantage in a direct confrontation, the Imperial Preceptor activated the nascent Dao Fruit, severing his karmic ties with the Immortal.

The Imperial Preceptor slowly disappeared from before the Immortal, as if merging into space.

The immortal being was on high alert, unleashing his divine senses to guard against the Grand Preceptor's attack.

He then seemed dazed for a moment, a blank expression on his face.

What am I doing?

The immortal frowned; it was as if a piece of his memory was missing, and he had forgotten the cause and effect.

The imperial advisor, hidden in the shadows, coldly observed everything, searching for an opportunity to attack.

He cultivates the Dao of Cause and Effect, and is currently in the rudimentary stage of the Dao Fruit.

The principle of cause and effect allows one to control cause and effect at will. The world is composed of cause and effect; the acquaintance, friendship, and enmity between people are all part of cause and effect.

Severing the causal ties between people will cause them to forget each other's existence.

River Spirit overlooked the Imperial Preceptor and his entourage, the higher-ups of the Immortal Sect forgot about the Immortal Immortal, the torture of branding was bound to happen, and the Immortal Immortal forgot about the Imperial Preceptor... all of these were the effects of the nascent Dao Fruit of Cause and Effect.

The Imperial Preceptor once killed six Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators, precisely to make them forget his existence, and then defeat them one by one!
