Yuanshi Expounded the Dao

The relationships between the major powers in the Three Realms are complex and intertwined, with various smaller groups mixed in among them.

It is quite normal for Celestial Venerable Yuanshi and Divine Lord Zhenyuan to form an alliance.

Divine Lord Zhenyuan didn't care how many fruits were picked from the Longevity Fruit Tree, and Zhang Xuezhou was even less concerned.

Celestial Venerable Yuanshi took the lead in presenting treasures to show his sincerity, Divine Lord Zhenyuan took a deep breath, knowing that it was impossible not to let everyone eat their fill today.

He was not stingy and even wanted to take this opportunity to test the Longevity Fruit Tree more, to see how much use the fruit of this tree could actually have and where its limits lay.

It was a rare sight that this sickly longevity fruit tree had been rejuvenated, and at this time, top cultivators from the Three Realms had gathered here.

Leaving aside the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, even in the South Pole there are extremely rare masters of Fate Technique. As for Zhang Xuezhou, let's not even talk about him. Putting aside his individual strength, which is no less than that of a human, Divine Lord Zhenyuan has never seen a cultivator as capable of pulling people along as Zhang Xuezhou.

The four great cultivators gathered together and each looked up at the Longevity Fruit Tree.

"This tree still has thirteen fruits. We four can each take three. If anyone wants more, they can pick more; if no one wants any, we can leave them hanging on the tree as a souvenir!"

Divine Lord Zhenyuan looked at Zhang Xuezhou and offered his own allocation suggestions.

"Fellow Daoist is a man of integrity and upright character; Yuanshi admires him Yuanshi!"

Celestial Venerable Yuanshi still had the mind to give Laojun and Lingbao a share, but Divine Lord Zhenyuan distributed the Longevity Fruit so properly that he had nothing to say.

If calculated based on power affiliation, Jade Void Palace was allocated nine fruits, so he even benefited from the distribution.

The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was immediately impressed and repeatedly invited Divine Lord Zhenyuan to visit the Jade Void Palace.

Let's taste the fruit first!

Divine Lord Zhenyuan smiled and reached out to pluck the Longevity Fruit.

What do you think of this fruit?

The Longevity Fruit landed in his palm, Divine Lord Zhenyuan asked Zhang Xuezhou.

"I think it's a good idea. Who wants to eat first?" Zhang Xuezhou replied.

"The Heavenly Venerable has come from afar, so please eat first," said Divine Lord Zhenyuan.

"Master, you should eat first," Celestial Venerable Yuanshi said with a smile, stroking his beard.

You guys eat first!

Antarctica, on the other hand, repeatedly showed its support and dared not act recklessly again.

Taking one fruit has one effect, while taking two may have a different effect.

Not only would people in Antarctica be hesitant to consume it, but even the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was not swayed by it.

"Shuoxian, why don't you eat first?"

Later, Antarctica awkwardly offered a suggestion.

The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi would not fear a single fruit, and even swallowing a poisonous one would not be a great harm, but it would undoubtedly be a great pity to waste such heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

As a disciple of Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, Nanji could see that Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was also cautious at this moment.

There is undoubtedly a reference point needed at the moment. Excluding those who have already had accidents in Antarctica, Zhang Xuezhou becomes the best test subject among the younger generation, especially since Zhang Xuezhou also has the ability to distinguish fruits.

"My Realm Technique level is stuck at the Sole Self Realm, so using fruit to improve my Fate Technique is quite difficult, and it caused some problems right after I consumed it," Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand and said, "The effect of the fruit on me is probably not as good as I hoped!"

"With your talent, Immortal Shuo, you shouldn't be limited by your cultivation level!"

Antarctica paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered that Zhang Xuezhou, who had defeated Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, was still a level below him in cultivation.

He had previously thought that Zhang Xuezhou had played tricks, and that Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's disregard for Zhang Xuezhou's actions had allowed Zhang Xuezhou to obtain the Jade Ruyi. He couldn't help but feel somewhat indignant. Now that he had come to his senses, he felt that there were probably no other cases in the Three Realms where a person of lower cultivation had challenged and defeated Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

Regardless of what abilities Zhang Xuezhou used, his victory over Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was a fact.

Antarctica found it hard to believe that a cultivator like Zhang Xuezhou had his cultivation level blocked.

"Actually, I've always been stuck on the realm," Zhang Xuezhou said, spreading his hands. "My Realm Technique is incomplete and can't be changed. Cultivation requires a lot of pills, and I still haven't stepped into the True Self Realm. Trying to achieve results now would probably just be a waste of time!"

The Immortal Court's Fate Technique are theoretically capable of breaking through the constraints of Realm Technique, but whether they can succeed is another matter entirely; at least Antarctica has not succeeded so far.

Zhang Xuezhou also did not want to try it recklessly at this time, lest the medicine become ineffective after being taken too many times, causing trouble for his subsequent cultivation.

"My Fate Technique has reached the ninth level, which, theoretically speaking, is the pinnacle I know," Divine Lord Zhenyuan Antarctica mentioned that the Fate Technique of the Immortal Court is somewhat different. I still need to learn more from you in the future to see if I can reach an even higher level!"

"Oh, no problem, no problem!"

Antarctica nodded awkwardly.

Zhang Xuezhou's Realm Technique had flaws, and Divine Lord Zhenyuan's Fate Technique had reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Court, making further progress difficult. In the South Pole, no one dared to make any reckless attempts, so everyone's attention finally turned to Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

"Fine, I'll do it!"

Celestial Venerable Yuanshi finally nodded and accepted the Longevity Fruit.

After swallowing it in two gulps, Celestial Venerable Yuanshi frowned, and a halo of Fate Technique energy appeared on his body, followed by a second, a third...

When the tenth Fate Technique appeared, Divine Lord Zhenyuan and many others' eyelids twitched.

The Immortal Court's Fate Technique was clearly superior, and it was not fixed on the extreme number nine.

"One more fruit, please!"

Ten Fate Technique halos appeared, and Celestial Venerable Yuanshi looked helpless, reaching out to Zhang Xuezhou and the others to ask for the Longevity Fruit.

After consuming another Longevity Fruit, three flowers appeared on his head, and golden lotuses emerged. A golden light also blazed behind his head. Various abilities within his body continued to operate, and strange phenomena formed by the condensation of power appeared one after another.

A golden halo of Fate Technique energy appeared on his body and then gradually disappeared.

"Fellow Daoist, would you like another fruit?" Divine Lord Zhenyuan asked proactively.

"The effect of this fruit decreases with each use; it won't work beyond the third time!"

The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi Venerable's expression showed a hint of joy, yet also a touch of regret.

He shook his head and recounted how he had taken the medication.

"If I could combine this Immortality Elixir the eleventh level of my Fate Technique, it might be possible to succeed," the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi sighed. "It's Non-Self weren't prepared, but rather that we lack the resources. We simply don't have any top-grade longevity pills available right now. However, if we used it to break through to the tenth level of my Fate Technique, it should be no problem!"

"Fellow Daoist's Fate Technique is unparalleled; you are likely the foremost expert in the Three Realms today," said Divine Lord Zhenyuan. "We hope you will offer us some guidance, so that we may not waste this fruit!"

"The Heavenly Court and the Immortal Court inherited their respective Fate Technique Fate Technique, though there are some differences. Correcting them isn't difficult," said Celestial Venerable Yuanshi. "However, I must remind you, fellow Daoist, that the Immortal Court's Fate Technique are not necessarily correct. Only by combining them with your own experience can you create your own unique Fate Technique!"

"What you say, fellow Daoist, is true. The Fate Technique cultivation focuses on one's own lifespan; only one can create their own unique Fate Technique!"

Divine Lord Zhenyuan nodded, clearly agreeing with Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's ideas.

After consuming three Longevity Fruits, the eleventh level of the Fate Technique was nearly half-completed. Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was not stingy; he sat under the Longevity Fruit Tree and began to expound on the Fate Technique.

Celestial Venerable Yuanshi continued to use ancient language in his narration, which, as usual, gave Zhang Xuezhou a headache and left him puzzled. However, Divine Lord Zhenyuan and Nanji were completely absorbed in it, occasionally nodding their heads in strong agreement.

The difference between orthodox lineage cultivators and unorthodox Jianghu sects lies in this: Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation path is all about the present, without any ancient knowledge, while Divine Lord Zhenyuan and others inherit ancient traditions, and can only inherit from cultivators with a strong sense of history like Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.

He could only wait resentfully for Divine Lord Zhenyuan to understand and share his insights.

As Zhang Xuezhou leaned against the marigold tree and waited, he felt as if the tree was listening to him.

Clearly, the ancient tree has likely completed the inheritance and replacement process, becoming the new Longevity Fruit Tree, thus allowing it to spare some attention.
