"Is it because the Dao Fruit already has an owner?"
Li Rui ultimately asked the question.
He was a True Lord of White Jade Capital.
Who in the Immortal Cultivation World did not know that Sword River Dao Lord of White Jade Capital had attained the Dao through the Luotian River once wielded by Dao Lord Tianhe?
If Dao Lord Tianhe had completely sunk into the cycle of reincarnation, it would have been one thing.
But Ye Yuan was Tianhe's reincarnated body.
If one had just planted a Dao Seed, only to discover that the Dao Fruit had already been claimed by another, then one could only begin cultivating anew. Whether one could return to the rank of Dao Lord would become utterly uncertain.
This was no mere obstruction of one's path—it was truly severing the Great Dao.
It was a life-and-death enmity that could never be reconciled.
As a True Lord of White Jade Capital, Li Rui was on excellent terms with Jiang Linxian and was also acquainted with Ye Yuan.
Since the two belonged to the Three Lives Altar and had sworn a Dao Oath, some matters were better spoken of openly. Concealment and evasions would only make things more complicated.
Ye Yuan burst into laughter. "Daoist Evergreen, there is no need to overthink it. Sword River Dao Lord of your sect obtained the inheritance of my previous life—that was his own ability. Besides, in this life, I do not intend to cultivate the sword Dao again."
"Brother Evergreen, these hands of mine truly are not suited to sword cultivation. Compared to me, Dao Lord Jiang is actually better suited to the Luotian River."
"In this life, what I have comprehended is the Dragon Slayer Dao."
It was precisely Ye Jiuzhou's Dao.
Li Rui's mouth twitched.
