Chapter 525: The Dao fruits of Jiuchong Immortal and Kylin Immortal
"Junior Brother Lu, there's a thank-you letter for you." Ten days later, a senior brother on duty at the mission hall handed a letter to Lu Yang, who was in the middle of absorbing spiritual power for cultivation.
Lu Yang opened it and found it was from Song Yuanwai.
The letter mainly expressed gratitude to Lu Yang for his help in resolving the maid issue, which allowed the Song family business to get back on track.
It also mentioned his daughter and Zhou Lang. Song Yuanwai revealed that after some investigation, Zhou Lang turned out to be his biological son, while his daughter, Song Lian'er, was actually the daughter of the housekeeper.
As for what exactly happened back then to cause such a mix-up, Song Yuanwai didn't elaborate in the letter. Lu Yang guessed it was probably a mix-up by the midwife during childbirth.
Lu Yang quietly put the letter away. The Song family's relationships were so tangled that it gave him a headache just thinking about it.
"This is nothing. Back in ancient times, during the era of tribes and clans, relationships were even more complicated than this."
"Which tribe did you belong to, Immortal Fairy?" Lu Yang asked casually, not expecting the long silence that followed from the Immortal Fairy.
"...A small tribe, not worth mentioning. It was wiped out when I was still a child, during a battle between a man and a beast that affected our tribe," the Immortal Fairy muttered softly, her usual liveliness gone.
Lu Yang fell silent too, unsure of what to say. Saying the wrong thing might make it worse.
Before the era of the five ancient immortals, it was not a pleasant time. Small tribes being crushed was a common occurrence.
"Junior Brother, come here for a moment."
Luckily, the eldest senior sister's voice transmission broke the silence.
"Eldest Senior Sister, what's the matter?"
Lu Yang found the eldest senior sister. She rarely had anything to ask of him. Could it be that their master had been caught again and needed someone to bail him out?
Or maybe their master was imprisoned again and needed a visit, but the eldest senior sister was too embarrassed to go herself and wanted him to go?
Or perhaps their master had finally been captured by his enemies and was on the brink of death, needing rescue?
"Wait for the others to arrive."
After a short while, the others mentioned by the eldest senior sister arrived one after another at Tianmen Peak: Meng Jingzhou, Tao Yaoye, Man Gu, and Li Haoran.
"Greetings, Eldest Senior Sister."
The four of them greeted the eldest senior sister respectfully.
"Here's the situation: there's a tradition of exchanging disciples among the five major immortal sects. This time, Seek Tao Sect disciples can go to The Five Elements Sect to study. There are five spots, and you five will be going."
The five responded in unison.
"The Five Elements, huh? That reminds me, Jiuchong Immortal's Dao fruit has something to do with the Five Elements."
"What kind of Dao fruit does Jiuchong Immortal have?"
"The Yin-Yang Dao fruit, representing extremes in the world: extreme heat and cold, speed and stillness, strength and weakness, and so on. It's very complex to use, not something that can be explained in a few words."
"And what about Kylin Immortal's Dao fruit?"
"The Survival of the Fittest Dao fruit. You can simply understand it as any move used on Kylin Immortal can't be used a second time. For example, if you use Heaven and Earth in the Palm to slam him to the ground or suck him into your palm, his Dao fruit will quickly adapt to that move, and it won't harm him the next time you use it."
"Once, Jiuchong Immortal used the world's hottest flames to roast Kylin Immortal. Kylin Immortal screamed in pain, but the next time, he could dance and bathe in the fire."
"So, did Kylin Immortal win?"
"No, Jiuchong Immortal recorded Kylin Immortal's bathing in the fire and used it to blackmail him into surrendering."
Lu Yang: "..."
Why did the way you immortals win battles seem so different from what I imagined?
"Doesn't Kylin Immortal have any issues eating your cooking?"
Doesn't this mean that once Kylin Immortal gets poisoned by the Immortal Fairy's cooking, he'd be immune?
The Immortal Fairy was puzzled by the question. "What do you mean by issues? Are you saying he'd get tired of my cooking? Impossible. As an immortal chef, I strive for innovation. Every dish I make is unique!"
Lu Yang thought that Kylin Immortal would probably be happier if the Immortal Fairy didn't innovate.
"One more thing. I remember the prodigies of the Dragon and Phoenix clans lost to Kylin Immortal while competing for the position of becoming an immortal. Is there a fixed number of immortals?" This was a question that had always puzzled Lu Yang. Was it necessary to compete to become an immortal? What were those ancient people fighting for?
"Not exactly. It's just that the embryonic forms of their Dao fruits conflicted with Kylin Immortal's."
"Conflicted?"
"The embryonic forms of their Dao fruits were called the Survival of the Fittest and the Law of the Jungle. These embryonic forms represented rules very similar to Kylin Immortal's, right?"
"Just like there can only be one Immortal Dao fruit. As long as this Immortal exists, no other embryonic form of the Immortal Dao fruit can become a true Dao fruit."
"Only one Dao fruit with similar rules can exist."
"The three of them were destined for only one to become an immortal. The other two could at best become half-immortals, infinitely close to being immortals."
