Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1373 - 109: True Spirit Reborn

Others have already come back to life and died again, yet I’m still sound asleep.

Whether the current Yuxu Daoist inheritance has betrayed or not, or whether it counts as a betrayal, the Emperor of Longevity and Nanji is unsure and won’t hastily make a judgment. But one thing is certainly clear.

—The current Yuxu Daoist inheritance is unreliable.

The Five Turbid Evil World is almost ending, yet there’s no sign of the Yuxu Daoist inheritance helping to resurrect me. These scoundrels probably have the intention of erasing the True Spirit and accommodating the Dao Fruit.

In the end, I still have to rely on myself.

The Queen Mother’s intentions might not be pure, but she is indeed trying to help me resurrect, and the Three Pure Dao Fruit is incredibly enticing.

No matter how I think about it, the Emperor of Longevity and Nanji would not miss this opportunity.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your assistance."

A voice of agreement emerged from the Thunder Eye.

"Good." The Queen Mother revealed a smile.

The Emperor of Longevity and Nanji, indeed, agreed.

Even knowing Emperor Jiang’s strength is formidable, without truly engaging him, it’s tough to grasp the kind of threat and apprehension.

This is natural for humans—no matter how high the Realm, it cannot be erased.

If it were the Queen Mother, she surely would think thrice before acting, probably trying to connect with Yuxu Temple gradually, not agreeing so decisively.

The Queen Mother spoke while gently raising her hands, manipulating the workings of creation, transforming abundant Vitality into pure immortal light, and sending it into the Thunder.

Upon acquiring the Heaven and Earth Furnace, she continually pondered its mysteries, hoping to comprehend creation. Though she hasn’t reached the Wa Emperor’s realm of creating races, she is no longer comparable to her past self.

Like the Wa Emperor Dao Fruit and the Amitabha Buddha Dao Fruit, neither contains a True Spirit. That Human Clan’s Holy Mother, after mending the sky during the End of Dharma era, was severely injured, and after battling the Three Pure Ones, her Vitality was completely eradicated, leaving no True Spirit behind.

Because of this, the Queen Mother doesn’t need to worry about True Spirit backlash like the Great Heavenly Venerate. As long as she understands step by step, she can benefit greatly. Upon completing the Promotion Ceremony, she would be the next Wa Emperor.

Within a few moments, with the Queen Mother’s assistance, the True Spirit of the Emperor of Longevity and Nanji completely revived, with lightning flickering, faint yet containing the profound mystery of yin-yang’s life and death.

"Boom—"

A clap of thunder, regeneration after destruction, like Spring Thunder bursting forth, bringing the creation of life.

The Thunder Eye contracted, lightning interweaving, manifesting a faintly discernible phantom.

"In such a short time, you helped reconstruct my Primordial Spirit..."

The Emperor of Longevity and Nanji looked at the Queen Mother with profound intent, "Looks like you’ve gained quite a lot in this new era, Your Majesty."

Even though the Primordial Spirit is in its weakest state, it still signifies creation from nothing. Even in the End of Dharma era, at her peak, the Queen Mother would struggle to reach such a level so quickly.

These old friends have really left me behind.

"Just a fortuitous coincidence," the Queen Mother slightly smiled, and her phantom gradually faded, "From now on, you’ll need to recover on your own. I won’t intervene anymore. Also, Fellow Daoist, be cautious; now, that one is less than a thousand miles from Yuxu Temple."

After speaking, the Queen Mother vanished.

Even with her current Realm, she couldn’t directly help the Emperor of Longevity and Nanji return to his peak, nor would the Emperor allow her to meddle in his recovery.

If the Queen Mother were allowed to oversee the recovery process, his foundations and various methods would be exposed, and it’s possible she might lay hidden strategies.

The Emperor of Longevity can’t fully trust these Fellow Daoists from before the End of Dharma.

However, the Queen Mother’s words and actions did alert the Emperor of Longevity.

"From the beginning to the end, never mentioning that one’s full name... It seems this era’s Emperor and Heavenly Emperor are even more troublesome than expected."

With this thought, the True Spirit of the Emperor of Longevity transformed into a stream of light and returned to the massive star—the Dao Fruit.

The entire Yuqing Hall returned to peace, as if the tumultuous thunder before was all an illusion.

...

...

Meanwhile, in a wilderness in Jizhou, the Green Bull carrying the Daoist Lord, moving seemingly slowly yet swiftly, covering 100 zhang with each step.

The bull’s hooves accurately stepped on the earth veins’ fluctuations. The Submerged Abyss Shrinkage technique became second nature, with not a moment’s halt.

"Master, after the Spiritual Mechanism Recovery, this Submerged Abyss Shrinkage is much easier than before." The Green Bull chuckled while walking.

In less than an hour, it traveled from the Divine Capital back to Jizhou, almost reaching the Daode Sect.

"Don’t just rush. Carefully experience the changes in Essence Qi. The environment now changes daily. If you’re not adaptable, it’s easy to encounter disharmonious Qi mechanisms."

The Daoist Lord spoke slowly, his gaze landing on the woods ahead in the distance, "Just like him."

As the words fell, the surrounding Essence Qi subtly shifted, like surging tides, "pushing" a hidden figure out.

"Is it you?" The Green Bull, seeing this person, showed a surprised expression on its face.

The person had a youthful face, dressed in a simple green robe, a long sword at the waist, exuding a faint sharp aura—who else could it be but Li Qinglian?

This one hadn’t been seen in a long time.

"It is me."

Li Qinglian smiled faintly, then bowed to the elder on the bull’s back, "Greetings, Master."

"You call me Master?" The Daoist Lord smiled upon hearing this term, "And yet you work for the Devil God Sect?"

As one of Taibai True Monarch’s out-of-control Three Pure Ones, Li Qinglian indeed had the qualification to call the Daoist Lord "Master." However, several years earlier, Li Qinglian had already left the Daode Sect and joined the Devil God Sect with the Great Venerable.
