Chapter 557 Immortal Dao Fruit
Jiang Zhenjun has actually been defeated!
Wu Qing and Li Tianming exchanged a glance, their arrogance vanishing, replaced by a sense of absurdity and disbelief.
"Could this be an illusion?"
After his initial surprise, a thought instinctively arose in Wu Qing's mind.
No matter how he circulated his magic power, the scene before him remained unchanged.
Li Tianming took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and stared intently at Chen Beiwu, who stood on the stage with his hands behind his back.
If it were True Lord Zhenwu who personally defeated True Lord Yiyang, he could understand and accept it.
However, from the very beginning of this debate, Zhenwu Zhenjun stood still, with only the Tongcan Beast Da Ri Black Dog making a move, and then defeated Yiyang Zhenjun in just a few rounds.
As a Pure Yang Golden Core cultivator, Li Tianming knew very well what this meant.
This means that the two sides are not even on the same level, there is a world of difference between them!
Even Senior Brother Jiang, one of the Six Heroes of Chunyang, suffered such a crushing defeat. In this year's Cave Heaven Competition, perhaps only the chief disciple can suppress True Martial Lord!
"You won just like that?"
Yu Zhaohua stared blankly at the figure on the stage.
She never thought Chen Beiwu would lose to Yi Yang Zhenjun. Si also believed that it wouldn't be easy for Chen Beiwu to defeat Yi Yang Zhenjun; he would need to go through a tough battle to win.
The result was unexpected. The renowned Yi Yang Zhenjun was not even able to force Chen Beiwu to take action, and was dealt with by Tie Dan alone.
This shows that Chen Beiwu's strength is now far greater than before, far surpassing her and Yi Yang Zhenjun.
If she wants to defeat Chen Beiwu head-on, she probably needs to cultivate to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, or even the perfect Nascent Soul stage, to have any hope!
"That's how it should be." Jiang Chuan Zhenjun nodded slightly, his expression calm and composed.
Admittedly, there are differences in strength among the geniuses of the Immortal Alliance.
However, the geniuses of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect may not be inferior to those of the Cave Heaven, especially a genius like Junior Brother Chen who is a rare find.
Indeed, this was the case. Junior Brother Chen's decisive victory in this battle, overpowering True Monarch Yi Yang, already demonstrated some of the majesty of the chief of the Jade Purity Sect.
Unfortunately, we missed out in the end!
Ye Xinya's eyes lit up, her expression revealing regret.
From their first meeting until the end of the Immortal Sect Exchange Conference, she knew that Chen Beiwu was no ordinary person and was destined to become a dragon one day.
What good is knowing?
As time went by, the gap between Ye Xinya and Chen Beiwu widened to the point that she dared not act rashly and could only watch silently as Chen Beiwu rose to power with unstoppable momentum.
At the same time, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Beiwu gave Jiang Xuanyang a slight bow.
"Lord Jiang, you flatter me."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuanyang gritted his teeth, stared directly at Chen Beiwu, and said nothing.
With the tragic death of the Sunset Fire Cricket and the backlash from the Covenant, it will take him at least a hundred years to recover to his peak condition.
If an ordinary, exceptionally talented cultivator were to encounter this situation, they would probably even have the urge to kill Chen Beiwu.
But Jiang Xuanyang's thought process was different. He didn't get angry, but he remembered Chen Beiwu's aura and turned to leave.
"Wait, you haven't taken your companion beast with you yet," Chen Beiwu reminded him.
Jiang Xuanyang paused, turned around, and asked in surprise, "The Sunset Fire Cricket isn't dead?"
"Of course, it's just a discussion and exchange of ideas, there's no need to kill each other."
Chen Beiwu glanced at Tie Dan: "Spit out the Sunset Fire Cricket."
Tie Dan was a little reluctant, but he still obediently opened his mouth and spat out a ball of fire meteor.
A fiery meteor crashed to the ground, creating a scorching shockwave and stirring up a cloud of dust, before revealing the silhouette of the setting sun and the fiery cricket.
However, this fire cricket was clearly in poor condition. Its seven-zhang body had shrunk by more than half, its carapace was dull, its six legs were convulsing, and its wings were broken. It had none of the imposing aura of a mythical beast.
"Hey!" (Don't come any closer!)
Seeing Tie Dan approaching, Can Yang Huo Qiong's pupils contracted, and he struggled to his feet, rushing towards Jiang Xuan Yang.
Jiang Xuanyang quickly took out a pill and fed it to the Remnant Yang Fire Cricket. He discovered that the Heavenly Gang True Fire in the latter's body was almost completely gone, as if it had been completely absorbed.
"Well."
Tie Dan let out a burp and avoided Jiang Xuanyang's gaze.
To avoid harming the life of the Sunset Firefly, it used the Sun-Devouring Nirvana Mystic Power to strip away and refine seventy percent of the true fire within the former's body, instead of refining it all.
"Thank you for showing mercy, Chief Chen," Jiang Xuanyang said in a deep voice, showing no intention of pursuing the matter.
He is not someone who can't accept defeat.
The Sunset Fire Cricket is currently only depleted of its essence. With the help of some rare and precious herbs, it can recover most of its essence within a few months, which is far better than losing its life.
"call out!"
Jiang Xuanyang flipped his hand, and a streak of light instantly landed in front of Chen Beiwu.
"This grand competition of grottoes will be held at Taiyin Grotto, and we hope that Chief Chen will not be absent."
After saying this, Jiang Xuanyang activated his escape light and quickly left the Jade Purity Immortal Sect with Wu Qing and Li Tianming.
Seeing that he had secured the Jade Purity seat, True Monarch Yi Yang slunk away, and exclamations of praise rose all around the dueling platform, with some cultivators even shouting that the chief was mighty.
"Alright, the battle at Kou Mountain is over. Everyone, you may all disperse."
With a flick of his sleeve, Jiang Chuan Zhenjun led Chen Beiwu away from the dueling platform.
"Junior Brother Chen, what was that move just now?" Jiang Chuan Zhenjun asked curiously.
Even with his exceptional insight and knowledge of countless mystical techniques, he couldn't discern how Tie Dan had defeated Canyang Huoqi in a single move.
"The immortal arts are profound and all-encompassing, returning the nine luminaries to their true nature," Chen Beiwu said succinctly, without revealing too much.
The Nine Luminaries Return to Truth is a special profound ability that Tie Dan awakened in the late stage of his advancement to Demon King.
【Mysterious Path】：Nine Luminaries Return to Truth 【Attribute】：Fire 【Rank】：Fifth Rank 【Description】：Based on the Crimson Bright Nine Luminaries Devouring Sun Nirvana Scripture, it can devour the true essence of the Great Sun and incinerate the bloodline essence of demonic beasts. It is especially effective against fire-attribute demonic beasts.
Note: This immortal technique was passed down to the Sun-Swallowing Divine Lord and is the prototype of the Sun-Swallowing Divine Power.
Once Xuan Tong is unleashed, all fires bow down. It can directly seize the inner core fire of demonic beasts with the force of swallowing the sun, taking the essence of the fire for its own use. It has little effect on demonic beasts of other attributes.
It should be noted that the Nine Luminaries Return to Truth technique already completely restrained the Fire Element Demon King. In addition, with the Great Heavenly Purification Prison Appearance, the Sun Devouring Nirvana, and the Dharma Appearance Divine technique jointly performed by Chen Beiwu, not to mention that the Remnant Sun Fire Cricket had only briefly entered the Perfect Demon King realm, even if it was a Demon Venerable who had only taken a half-step into the Fifth Realm, it could still be suppressed.
Conversely, if the Golden Egg were to fight instead, Chen Beiwu would need to put in more effort to suppress Jiang Xuanyang and the Remnant Sun Fire Cricket, and it would be difficult for him to defeat them with overwhelming force.
"Nine Luminaries Return to Their True Nature?"
Jiang Chuan Zhenjun found the name quite familiar, and then suddenly remembered that this profound technique seemed to be related to the Devouring Sun God and the Thirty-Six Hunyuan Immortal Techniques of Yuqing, so he did not ask any further questions.
"The sect leader wants to see you," Jiang Chuan Zhenjun said, getting down to business.
Chen Beiwu nodded, indicating that he understood.
The battle for a spot in the grand competition is just the beginning.
The sect leader's search for him must be related to the upcoming Cave Heaven Grand Competition.
Yuqing Palace.
As soon as Chen Beiwu stepped into the main hall, the clear sound of jade chimes rang out, the golden lotus phenomenon appeared, and the figure of the Jade Purity Sect Leader appeared.
"Greetings, Sect Leader." Chen Beiwu bowed respectfully.
"You did a good job this time."
The sect leader's voice was like the imperial decree of heaven, causing the vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the hall to tremble.
"Sect Leader, you flatter me. Although True Monarch Yi Yang has some skill, there are many Nascent Soul True Monarchs within the sect who can suppress him."
"7
Chen Beiwu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
.
He wasn't being modest on purpose.
In a battle between people of the same realm, both True Lord Yue Shan and True Lord Su Miao are superior to True Lord Yi Yang in terms of talent and strength.
The reason why True Lord Yi Yang can be so arrogant is simply because the recent generations of Yuqing disciples are lacking in talent. Going back several dozen generations, Yuqing Immortal Sect has produced peerless geniuses who have defied the Heavenly Lords.
The sect leader chuckled lightly: "Alright, you've secured a spot in the sect's Grand Competition, so you deserve a generous reward. Have you encountered any difficulties in your cultivation recently? Do you need anything?"
Chen Beiwu's heart stirred, realizing that this was the sect leader's way of showing his generosity and allowing him to ask for the reward he wanted.
Chen Beiwu doesn't lack ordinary cultivation resources, but he lacks extremely rare and precious items, such as resources for the Nascent Soul stage.
"I have had no recent confusion in my cultivation, but I have developed a particular interest in one thing."
Tell me about it.
"The Five Elements Venerable Pill," Chen Beiwu tentatively asked.
The sect leader said with a half-smile, "Interesting. Why didn't you mention the Heaven-Reaching Pill?"
"Thank you for your generous gift, Master." Chen Beiwu immediately bowed and shamelessly accepted the compliment.
The Heavenly Pill is the most valuable Nascent Soul Pill in the Immortal Alliance. A single pill can defy fate and increase the probability of attaining True Venerable status by a full 30%.
"You dare to speak up, kid." The sect leader shook his head slightly.
Just as Chen Beiwu was feeling somewhat disappointed, the sect leader changed his tone: "It's not impossible for you to get the Heaven-Reaching Pill, but simply defeating Jiang Xuanyang is not enough for you to obtain such a Yuan Pill."
"Unless you can defeat the top masters of the five major grotto-heavens in this grand competition and win first place, thus making a great contribution to the sect."
"Are you confident?" The sect leader looked at Chen Beiwu with a calm expression, as if defeating the Five Great Grotto Heavens was a trivial matter.
"This disciple will do his utmost!" Chen Beiwu replied in a deep voice.
He has no interest in empty titles like "first place in the Cave Heaven Grand Competition," but if he could obtain the Heaven-Reaching Pill, that would be a different story.
"Winning first place in the competition is easier said than done."
The sect leader shook his head slightly and asked bluntly, "Have you ever seen the chief disciples of the five great grotto-heavens within the Cangyuan Realm?"
"This disciple has met you."
"How does it feel?"
"My talent and cultivation are as formidable as rumored, but I am not without the ability to fight back," Chen Beiwu said frankly.
"The five great grotto heavens are filled with powerful figures and possess extraordinary foundations, surpassing even the thirteen immortal sects." The Jade Purity Sect Leader turned his gaze to Chen Beiwu: "Do you know why?"
"This disciple does not understand."
Chen Beiwu's expression turned serious, realizing that he was about to touch upon some hidden secrets of the cave.
"Because of the Dao Fruit," the Jade Purity Sect Leader revealed.
Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu was startled.
The reason is simple: the Dao Fruit is the reality of the Dao, and the proof of immortality!
According to ancient records of the Immortal Alliance, the Dao Fruit is imprinted by the Heavenly Heart and condensed by the Great Dao. Those who obtain it can be ranked among the immortals, transcend reincarnation, and become immeasurable immortals.
Chen Beiwu initially thought this was just a vague fantasy of ancient cultivators. After all, how could a being as great as the Boundless Immortal rely on a single Dao Fruit to achieve such a status?
If that's true, the Immortal Alliance, which controls the vast Tianyuan Star, would probably have already found the Dao Fruit, instead of only having rumors of immortals circulating without any immortals ever appearing in the world.
Judging from the information revealed by the sect leader, the claim of the Dao Fruit seems to be true.
"Sect Leader, the Dao Fruit you mentioned, could it be the Dao Fruit that allows cultivators to attain immeasurable Dao?" Chen Beiwu took a deep breath, his tone filled with undisguised shock.
The Jade Purity Sect Leader was not surprised to notice Chen Beiwu's change in mood.
When he learned the secrets of the fruit from his master, his performance was similar, not much better than Chen Beiwu's.
"That's right." Sect Leader Yuqing glanced at Chen Beiwu and said calmly, "The Immortal Alliance has countless geniuses. Even if the five great grotto-heavens gather many peerless geniuses from the Immortal Alliance, it's impossible for them to suppress the geniuses of the thirteen immortal sects generation after generation, making them invincible. Do you know where the difference lies?"
"Could it be because of the Dao Fruit?" Chen Beiwu's heart stirred.
In his view, the sect leader would not reveal such secrets without a reason.
The sudden mention of these things must be related to the Grand Competition of the Grotto Heaven.
"That's right. The chief of each of the five great grotto heavens can obtain a trace of the power of the Dao Fruit, take the Dao of heaven and earth for their own use, and comprehend incredible supernatural powers."
"Do you still have the confidence to win first place in the Cave Heaven Grand Competition?" the sect leader asked.
Chen Beiwu fell silent.
If the chief of the five great grotto heavens can obtain the power of the Dao Fruit, wouldn't he be missing out on his chance to become an immortal by joining the Jade Purity Immortal Sect?
No, something's not right!
If the path to immortality truly exists, wouldn't the Five Great Grotto-Heavens be home to countless immortal beings?
So here's the question: how could the boundless immortal, who has attained great freedom and ease, inexplicably bestow a trace of Dao Fruit power upon a low-level genius of the Cave Heaven?
This is truly contrary to common sense!
"Sect Leader, I have a question: since immortals exist in the Five Great Grotto-Heavens, does our sect also have immortals?"
Chen Beiwu spoke frankly.
His intuition told him that if he missed this opportunity, he would have little chance of learning such secrets.
"Where did you get that conclusion?"
The sect leader laughed: "There are no immortals in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, nor are there any immortals in the Five Great Grotto-Heavens."
Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu's heart skipped a beat.
Since there are no immortals in the Five Great Grotto-Heavens and the Thirteen Immortal Sects, where do the Dao Fruits of the Grotto-Heavens come from?
"Sect Leader, do you mean there's a problem with the Cave Heaven Dao Fruit?" Chen Beiwu asked thoughtfully.
"That's right, you're quite clever, kid. The power of the Dao Fruits of the Five Great Grotto-Heavens does indeed have drawbacks."
Since True Venerable Zixiao dared to reveal this secret, he was naturally not afraid that Chen Beiwu would switch to the Five Great Grotto Heavens in order to achieve immortality.
"The Dao Fruits of the Five Great Grotto-Heavens are not true Dao Fruits and cannot help cultivators achieve immortality. Rather, they are pseudo-Dao Fruits condensed by the Dao Venerables of the Grotto-Heavens using the Dao Fruit Ascension Method." They require powerful immortals and peerless geniuses to bear, nurture, and participate in their practice. Over time, the successive chief cultivators of the Five Great Grotto-Heavens have acquired an exclusive blessing.
True Venerable Zixiao pointed out: "Although this power of the Dao Fruit is strong, it is ultimately an external thing. The more you borrow it, the deeper you will fall into it, and you will be assimilated by the Dao Fruit, stopping at the level of Nascent Soul True Venerable, and having no chance to become a Void Refining Dao Venerable."
"Only those who truly comprehend the power of the Dao Fruit can successfully attain the Dao and become a Dao Venerable of Refining Emptiness; all others are merely provisions."
After saying that, True Venerable Zixiao returned to the main topic and reassured Chen Beiwu: "The chief disciples of the five great grotto heavens are blessed with the power of Dao Fruits, and my Jade Purity Immortal Sect also has thirty-six Hunyuan Immortal Techniques."
"If you want to win first place in the Cave Heaven Grand Competition, you either need to cultivate the 'Primordial Cave True Azure Flower Controlling Myriad Tribulations and Myriad Spirits Fundamental Immortal Technique' to its highest level, or you need to form a contract with a peerless primordial beast ranked among the top five on the Creation Primordial Beast Ranking. Otherwise, it will be difficult to withstand the power of the Cave Heaven Dao Fruit!"
