Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 510 - 507: Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit, Celestial Beings

Chapter 510: Chapter 507: Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit, Celestial Beings

Gu An could hear the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit’s heartvoice, although he could maintain spiritual communication with it, he rarely paid attention to it.

The main reason was that the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit was too annoying. Gu An had responded before, and as a result, it chattered constantly, bothering him without end.

Gu An was neither worried about Li Ya going to seize the sword, nor was he afraid that Li Ya would cause any trouble for him.

He would only save Li Ya’s life, but wouldn’t help him seize the sword.

Saving a life was not difficult for Gu An, as simple as blowing out a breath.

Gu An continued fishing until, after an hour, he finally stood up and left.

The Blood Prison Great Saint hurriedly followed his pace, while Chen Chuan continued to stay by the lake, his eyes tightly closed, comprehending his own Sword Intent.

He wanted to resist the attraction of that sword, feeling that if he could withstand it, his Sword Dao would ascend a level.

Tens of miles away, An Shengtian was practicing Qi Absorption on a cliff, the breeze blowing through his hair.

Another ten miles ahead, his master Jiang Shi was sowing seeds. Jiang Shi didn’t use spells, but planted them by hand, treating it as a form of cultivation.

Looking to the east, the Celestial Demon Child was discussing the Dao with the Ghost Mother of Ephemera, exchanging cultivation insights.

Others were in seclusion within their respective Cave Mansions, all steadfastly advancing on their own paths of cultivation.

The winds rolling through the Daoist Field of the Beginningless swept toward the Celestial Vault, carrying away the seasons.

By the next Late Summer, the battle over the Divine Sword inevitably erupted. The sword drew sword cultivators from all over, and Li Ya, at the Nirvana Realm, couldn’t even get involved.

Let alone having Gu An save him, he didn’t even have the qualification to see the Divine Sword.

The battle between two Divine Immortals of Wondrous Dharma prevented him and the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit from moving forward, forcing them to wait in the distance.

Sadly, as time passed, Li Ya not only couldn’t advance but was also pushed back because higher-level sword cultivators joined the fray.

…

The setting sun cast a pall over an opulent city where Zhu Xi, dressed in yellow robes, strolled along the street. She looked just as young as ever, like a girl of sixteen or seventeen, her eyes shining as she looked around with interest.

No one could have imagined that this seemingly innocent girl was the Shengtian of the Holy Court, once the strongest being of Heaven and Earth.

Just as Zhu Xi became engrossed with the sights on either side of the street, a figure approached her.

“Young friend, please halt.”

A laugh came from ahead, and Zhu Xi fixed her gaze before stopping in her tracks.

She saw a young monk draped in a kasaya blocking her path. This person was none other than the Immortal Seeker who had taught the Daoist Expansion Skill. It was because the Daoist Expansion Skill had advanced to the Innate Reincarnation Skill that Gu An was able to help the people he cared about extend their ultimate lifespan.

Zhu Xi’s smile vanished, and she calmly looked at the Immortal Seeker.

The Immortal Seeker chuckled, “The humble monk observes that you possess extraordinary destiny. Would you like to ascend to immortality? The humble monk can assist you!”

Zhu Xi focused on him, saying, “You, a monk, refer to yourself as ‘humble monk’? Do you think you’re credible?”

“Of course the humble monk is credible. His Majesty Saint Heaven is nurtured by the celestial spirit and destiny. Even as a reincarnated being, a pair of eyes can see through everything, can’t they?” the Immortal Seeker said with a chuckle, causing Zhu Xi to furrow her brow.

When he mentioned Saint Heaven, a passing cultivator threw a suspicious glance at him, but quickly disappeared with the flow of the crowd.

Zhu Xi and the Immortal Seeker faced each other amidst the throng; they were out of place in this world and indifferent to the gazes of the people.

Zhu Xi’s eyes gradually became piercing, as if she had transformed into someone else. She exuded the aura of someone who reigned supreme, looking down at the Immortal Seeker, asking, “A person from heaven?”

The immortal seeker laughed, “Your Majesty is indeed formidable.”

Zhu Xi lifted her right foot and took a step forward. As her toes touched the ground, the world suddenly changed. The streets and the people coming and going all vanished, and they found themselves in a dim, desolate mountain wilderness, with dense clouds in the sky and faint thunder rumbling.

Immortal Seeker did not panic and continued to smile at Zhu Xi.

“Are you sure you have what I’m looking for?” Zhu Xi asked, and as she lifted her right hand, the earth around them split open, and roots emerged from all directions, swiftly intertwining in the sky to form a huge sword that pointed straight at Immortal Seeker.

This wooden sword was more colossal than the mountains between heaven and earth; it seemed to occupy half of the sky upon its appearance.

“You’re looking for the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit. What you want isn’t just to unify the current Celestial Spirit Great World, is it? What you desire is the entire Celestial Spirit Great World, right?” Immortal Seeker answered.

Zhu Xi narrowed her eyes, but did not respond.

Immortal Seeker continued, “The Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit is bound to appear sooner or later, but now there’s already a presence stronger than even the Free Immortal. Your Majesty, how will you snatch it then?”

Zhu Xi huffed, “So you’re saying, you can’t give me anything and you’ve merely come to remind me?”

“Not at all,” Immortal Seeker said leisurely. “I have come to save your life. The Celestial Dao Golden Core is bait left by the person from the World Gate, and the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit is even more taboo. If one’s realm is insufficient, merely touching the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit will lead to being devoured. It contains even more horrifying cause and effect, causes even the person from the World Gate does not know of.”

Zhu Xi squinted and asked, “Then tell me, how high must one’s realm be to touch it?”

“To reach the pinnacle of what the Free Immortal can achieve,” Immortal Seeker’s smile turned mischievous.

Zhu Xi frowned and asked, “Above the Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Path, there’s still the level of Free Immortal?”

“That’s right. There are three Free Immortal levels above it, and none of those strongest beings who appeared in the last few thousand years have reached that realm, not even the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable.”

Hearing Immortal Seeker mention the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable, Zhu Xi’s face became grim.

Even though she had fully recovered the memories of her previous life, she still kept the gratitude of this life’s mentor-disciple relationship in her heart and respected Gu An from her core.

In her view, Gu An was an old predecessor from beyond the skies, with a cultivation level far surpassing hers, coupled with the fact that he had taught her, she naturally held respect for him.

Even the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable was not qualified to touch the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit?

Zhu Xi fell into silence.

Immortal Seeker quietly watched her. After a long while, he finally said, “I have a method that can help you avoid being devoured.”

Zhu Xi looked up at him with a skeptical face.

Immortal Seeker continued, “What you need to do is surpass the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Path, possess the competence to traverse the world freely. Can you achieve that?”

Zhu Xi replied coldly, “I have long been able to do so, but I’ve deliberately suppressed my realm. I can sense an almighty existence outside this world watching me; if I break through, I will encounter unexpected disasters. Some Free Immortals need thousands, tens of thousands of cycles of Reincarnation Tribulations, but I only need one life.”

Immortal Seeker was taken aback, clearly shocked by her words. He took a deep breath and said in admiration, “Worthy of being the Child of Heaven and Earth chosen by the destiny of Celestial Spirit. In that case, I will pass on a cultivation technique to you. Practice it first, then break through.”

Zhu Xi’s right hand dropped, and the huge wooden sword suspended in the dim celestial vault dissipated like smoke and clouds.

“Who exactly are you, and why do you want to help me?” Zhu Xi stared intently at Immortal Seeker, hoping to get an answer.

Immortal Seeker turned, looking towards the horizon, and said, “I indeed come from above, but I do not affiliate myself with those self-important folks. The reason I assist you is merely to fulfill a wish—my disciple died in this Great Thousand World.”

Zhu Xi asked in surprise, “The death of your disciple requires all this scheming? Do you need my help for revenge?”

Immortal Seeker glanced at her and said, “Merging with the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit will be enough to fill the regret in my heart.”

Zhu Xi’s brows were tightly locked, still somewhat unclear.

But Immortal Seeker no longer elaborated.

Suddenly.

Zhu Xi seemed to realize something, her expression changed drastically as she looked incredulously at Immortal Seeker.
