Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 199: Chapter 198 The Man Behind the Scenes_1

The gap between immortals and mortals is like a chasm, not something achievable solely through sheer will. The immortal Eternity is not yet a true immortal and is currently in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

Although he lacks a physical body and only possesses a soul, he’s not a typical Transcendance Tribulation Stage practitioner. However, with the immature Eternity Dao Fruit he possesses, he compensates for his lack of combat power.

If one in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage encounters Immortal Eternity in the spiritual space, they would be at a disadvantage.

Yet, Immortal Eternity has met with the true Fairy Eternity.

The power of the immature Dao Fruit couldn’t manifest before the true Dao Fruit.

After being taught a lesson, Immortal Eternity comprehends that he may not be a true immortal, but rather an imitation of Fairy Eternity.

“As for the origin of the Dao Fruit, elder, what’s your thought?”, Yun Zhi posed this question to Fairy Eternity.

Fairy Eternity had been thinking about this query all along. She took out the bundle of golden light, “My initial judgement was not wrong; we could reluctantly label this entity as the Eternity Dao Fruit, but it is far from maturity, it is in its nascent form.”

“The emergence of the Dao Fruit should follow the same principle as this young man’s appearance, both depend on the will.”

Lu Yang curiously asked, “Can Dao Fruits be manifested through will? Wouldn’t that make becoming an immortal quite simple?”

Fairy Eternity shook her head, correcting Lu Yang’s misconception, “it’s not a Dao Fruit but an immature Dao Fruit. Regardless of the fact that this Dao Fruit is a product of over ten thousand years of accumulation by the Eternity Sect, the method of producing an immature Dao Fruit solely through will has serious limitations.”

A Dao Fruit serves as a symbol of becoming immortal and is able to alter the world rules. Its actual concept far exceeds Lu Yang’s knowledge, it’s not something he currently has control over.

“The immature Dao Fruit and the Dao Fruit are worlds apart. As long as I wish, I can conceive as many immature Eternity Dao Fruits as I want, but there will forever be only one Eternity Dao Fruit, and it’s mine.”

Having said that, Fairy Eternity reveals a confident smile, believing that her Eternity Dao Fruit is the strongest, superior to the Dao Fruits of Yingtian Immortal and the others.

As for immature Dao Fruits, she views them as utterly worthless.

“But immature Dao Fruits have the potential to replace Dao Fruits.”

Yun Zhi’s statement doused Fairy Eternity with cold water. Fairy Eternity understood Yun Zhi’s implication and instantly cooled down.

“What’s going on?” Lu Yang asked.

Only Fairy Eternity and Yun Zhi had a clear understanding of the Dao Fruit. Lu Yang and Immortal Eternity were completely clueless.

Immortal Eternity can’t even differentiate between a Dao Fruit and an immature Dao Fruit. If it wasn’t for this explanation, he wouldn’t have known how he had obtained his own immature Dao Fruit.

Yun Zhi explained, “An immature Dao Fruit is a raw embryo, rather crude with an unstable internal structure. If the immature Dao Fruit gradually matures, it becomes increasingly closer to the actual Dao Fruit.”

“And for a specific type of Dao Fruit, there can only be one. For an immature Dao Fruit to fully mature, the existent mature Dao Fruit has to be discarded and replaced.”

Lu Yang was surprised, “So you are saying your Dao Fruit could potentially be replaced by the immature Eternity Dao Fruit?”

Lu Yang was worried about Fairy Eternity; although she wasn’t that reliable and couldn’t be of help, she consistently caused trouble. Nonetheless, Lu Yang always hoped she could continue having the Dao Fruit and wouldn’t be replaced by someone else.

Yun Zhi shook her head, her expression was grave, “As the one holding the supreme authority in the ‘Eternity’ lineage, no one can challenge her in ‘Eternity’. Even an immature Dao Fruit nearing maturity couldn’t.”

“An immature Dao Fruit replacing a Dao Fruit only occurs in one situation – the Dao Fruit is masterless and the immature Dao Fruit has a master.”

Lu Yang sighed with relief, “That’s good then, Fairy Eternity is still alive, no one can replace her.”

“But she was not supposed to be alive.”

Lu Yang was stunned by the Eldest Senior Sister’s remark.

Indeed, had it not been for his accidental utterance of Fairy Eternity’s true name, she probably wouldn’t have been able to revive until the end of the Great Era’s dispute.

Perhaps, as the Eldest Senior Sister suggested, without him, it would’ve taken another three hundred thousand years for someone to inadvertently speak the true name of Fairy Eternity.

No, had Fairy Eternity not been revived and Immortal Eternity was able to mature the immature Eternity Dao Fruit, he could replace the original Eternity Dao Fruit.

By the time of the Great Era’s dispute, Immortal Eternity leading the Eternity Sect would emerge and spread their name. By then, who would dare to use the same casual attitude to shout out the four-letter word “Fairy Eternity”.

By then, Fairy Eternity possibly could never revive and be truly dead.

Fairy Eternity had also thought about this and was horrified.

Yun Zhi quickly sorted out her thoughts, “In the era of antiquity, Fairy Eternity was ambushed and killed, causing the Eternity Dao Fruit to become masterless, it turned into an item without an owner.”

“The person behind the scenes publicized the concept of Eternity Dao Fruit, created a non-existent Immortal Eternity, allowing the Eternity Sect’s followers to believe, visualize, and resurrect Immortal Eternity. However, Immortal Eternity was oblivious to this; he was desperately trying to mature the immature Dao Fruit.”

“When the time is right, the person behind the scenes would make a move, seize the Eternity Dao Fruit, and claim it as theirs.”

“The only thing currently unclear is whether the person behind the scenes wants to seize the Eternity Dao Fruit when it matures or when it’s about to mature, or perhaps… He’s already here?”

As she spoke, Yun Zhi’s voice was frosty as the icy wind of millennia, concealed with a murderous intent that made Lu Yang shiver.

Yun Zhi and Fairy Eternity both released their spiritual senses together, scanning every inch of their surroundings, intending to expose the person behind the scenes.

Suddenly, a corner of the chamber resonated, a pitch-black figure slowly emerged. He applauded rhythmically, admiring Yun Zhi’s exceptionality.

Lu Yang stared at the shadowy figure. It was clear the person was present, but when scanned by his spiritual sense, there was nothing.

Lu Yang thought the individual felt like a bottomless black hole, possessing immense ambitions, able to swallow all, instigating chills.

Yun Zhi and Fairy Eternity stood in front of Lu Yang, cautiously eyeing the newcomer.

“No wonder you’re considered the strongest among the Five Great Immortal Sects. In terms of threat to me, the Central Continent has a few, and you pose the biggest one!”

“Initially, I was here to observe if an immature Eternity Dao Fruit had truly been formed. Unexpectedly, merely observing for a few days rewarded me with such great gains.”

The black figure directed his gaze towards Fairy Eternity, despite his features being unobservable, Lu Yang felt he was smiling.

“How unexpected that you, Fairy Eternity, actually revived. The biggest variable undeniably took me by surprise.”

“Since you’ve revived, the plan of replacing the Dao Fruit with the immature Eternity Dao Fruit has been voided. It’s a shame for the Eternity Sect’s fourteen thousand years of preparation, all effort wasted.” The dark figure shook his head in regret, unclear whether he was lamenting for the Eternity Sect or his own schemes.

“Ying Tian, Kirin, Suiyue, Jiuchong, who are you?! Skulking in the shadows, show your true face!” Fairy Eternity retorted sternly. This person wanted to entirely erase her existence, it was a feud that couldn’t be resolved!

There had to be a resolution between her and the shadowy figure!

The figure laughed and shook his head, “Were there really only five immortals in your era? Was Immortal Jiuchong truly the first immortal?”

“Fairy, there are too many uncertainties, how can you determine that I’m one of the four people?”

“Playing tricks!” Fairy Eternity grinding her teeth in anger.

Yun Zhi remained silent and straightforwardly attacked with all her might.

The figure’s expression tightened, “Sure enough, your strength is far beyond what you’ve shown on the surface. Even if I had my body manifest here, I would probably struggle hard to defeat you.”

“After the age of antiquity, there’s someone like you, truly an extraordinary creation of this world.”

The figure admitted his inferiority and decisively self-destructed.
