Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 873: The Fruit of the Other World Reveals the Immortal Fate

For Zhang Xuanjing, who always liked to bully others and felt that he was extraordinary, being expelled from the "Bi Luo Chao Sheng Pavilion" and having his cultivation abolished was far more painful than taking his life.

Especially since the whole family was affected because of him, even if he was the son of the head of the family, he would inevitably be despised by the whole family if he lost his cultivation in the future.

It's true that the Taoist Changsheng is easygoing, but when it comes to dealing with things swiftly and decisively, he doesn't frown at all...

"Daoyou dealt with it fairly."

Chen Mu stroked the celadon teacup with his fingertips, a faint smile on his lips, and said, "But in fact, whether this boy is a disciple of Chaosheng Pavilion or not, and whether his cultivation realm is abolished or not, is of no concern to me."

His plan from the beginning to the end was never to punish a minor foundation-building cultivator.

Taoist Changsheng laughed out loud, not feeling surprised at all. He looked back at the people outside the courtyard, then waved his hand to send Zhang Xuanjing, who had become a disabled man, out.

"Master Zhang, please bring this boy back."

"Senior Deng..."

The Zhang family head and others wanted to say something else, but the Taoist Changsheng had already waved his sleeve to close the courtyard door, and at the same time he pointed his finger at the sky. The sky and the earth suddenly darkened for a moment. When the previous light returned, the whole courtyard was shrouded in a green light curtain.

"Master Liu, I'd like to lend you the Liu Family Villa."

Liu Hongyun quickly bowed and said, "It is a great honor for the Liu family..."

In the courtyard.

Chen Mu frowned as he looked at the Taoist Changsheng who suddenly made a move. He was puzzled but suppressed his confusion for the time being and did not ask any questions rashly.

After just trying to follow the trend and ended up making things worse, in order to avoid being passive again, I decided to just let it go.

The result was exactly as he expected. Seeing that he remained silent, Taoist Changsheng smiled and said, "Brother Lingyuan, why don't you ask me what I meant by this?"

"If I don't ask, won't you tell me?"

"Hahaha!"

Taoist Changsheng laughed heartily, his figure standing tall like a green pine or cypress. Then his eyes suddenly fixed, and he said in a serious tone, "Brother Lingyuan is not from this world, right?"

A man never stops talking until he has made a shocking statement. Even though Chen Mu thought he had revealed a flaw just now, he never expected that the other party would say such a thing right away.

Look at Li and Liu, they also widened their eyes, but unlike Chen Mu, their shock only lasted for a moment. The next moment, they seemed to have thought of something and looked as if they had suddenly realized something.

Chen Mu was increasingly puzzled, but he remained calm. He frowned and smiled, "Why do you say that, Fellow Daoist Changsheng?"

Taoist Changsheng smiled and said, "I need to make it clear to you first. I have no ill intentions in asking this."

"The reason I can tell that Brother Dao is not from my Floating Cloud Realm is because the pure energy around him is clear and pure. It is obvious that you have not been tainted by any trace of Dao since the beginning of your cultivation."

"And the problem lies here. How can anyone in this world, regardless of whether they are from a large or small sect or a casual cultivator, not be able to refine the Dao Mark?"

"Furthermore, at our level, without the blessing of Dao Marks, our cultivation progress is extremely slow. This is the time when we are refining Dao Marks to gain insights and finally achieve Dao Fruit. It is impossible for us to not have any Qi."

"What's more, Brother Dao has manifested Dao Fruit even at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage. This alone proves that he is definitely not someone from our Floating Cloud Realm!"

"No, not only in the Floating Cloud Realm, but even in the Qianhua Realm and the Three Mountains Realm bordering our Floating Cloud Realm, there has never been a person with such extraordinary talent as Brother Dao!"

"The Nascent Soul can manifest the Dao Fruit...Brother Dao, are you from the Immortal Realm?"

“Only the Immortal Realm and the legendary Immortal Venerable’s former realm, with its abundant natural resources, can allow us, the human cultivators, to manifest the Dao Fruit without relying on the Dao Marks of Heaven and Earth…”

"The Immortal Venerable's former world..."

Chen Mu was stunned. It turned out that there was such a saying in the Immortal Venerable’s former world.

If what Taoist Changsheng said is true, it seems that the Taixuan Realm cut off its own path to ascension because of Immortal Master Guangcheng, and thus gradually cut off the inheritance above the level of transformation into a god.

If not, perhaps the True Immortal Dao would still exist forever...

"Since Fellow Daoist Changsheng has seen it, I have nothing to hide. I did come to this world a month ago."

Chen Mu said in a low voice, admitting the matter frankly.

Taoist Changsheng is so clear about this that even if he denies it, it will never dispel the other party's speculation. Therefore, it is not good to hide it. It is better to be frank, so as to save the other party from having wild imaginations.

Hearing this, Taoist Changsheng and Li and Liu were all delighted.

Liu Tianchi was the most excited and eager, repeatedly asking, "Brother Lingyuan, is the Immortal Realm really filled with Immortals as the rumors say?"

He also had a preconceived notion and thought that with Chen Mu's talent, he was most likely from the fairyland. In addition, Chen Mu did not deny it just now, so he naturally asked about the things he was curious about.

Although there are true immortals in their Floating Cloud Realm, they are all ancestors of a certain area and rarely appear in the world. How can they be compared with the legendary immortal world?
But to his disappointment, Chen Mu shook his head and said, "I am not from the Immortal Realm."

Liu Tianchi wanted to ask more questions but was suddenly stopped by Taoist Changsheng.

"Junior Brother Liu, have you forgotten the rules? You are not allowed to question anyone from the outside world..."

Liu Tianchi finally reacted, calmed himself down, and bowed to Chen Mu: "It is my fault for being reckless. I hope you will not blame me, Brother Dao."

Chen Mu's heart moved slightly. After waving his hand, he asked Taoist Changsheng, "Fellow Daoist, from what you said, it seems that people from the outside world often come and go in the Floating Cloud Realm?"

Taoist Changsheng pursed his lips and smiled, "It wouldn't be called a common occurrence, but there are indeed people from the outside world coming and going."

"For example, Daoist Master Huang Yuan of Yundu Liangzhou came from a small world called 'Shaze Realm' over two thousand years ago. He is very famous and well-known."
Li Bing continued, "There's also Young Master Heying of Qingming Cliff. Although his realm isn't as high as the Daoist Lord Huangyuan that Daoist Brother Changsheng mentioned, his reputation is no less impressive, and he may even surpass it. This is because he manifested Dao Fruit in the realm of True Lord and already has the potential to become a True Immortal..."

"Yes."

Taoist Changsheng nodded slightly. "If it's closer, it's the Fairy Qihuang who became famous in the Yujing Ruins of Zhongdu a hundred years ago. Rumor has it that she is from the immortal world and has extraordinary talent, just like you, fellow Taoist. Both of them manifested the Dao Fruit at the Nascent Soul stage."

"It is precisely because of this person that we subconsciously thought that Brother Dao came from the immortal world..."

Liu Tianchi finally sighed, "These are only some of the outsiders whose reputations have spread. If you count them all, at least a hundred outsiders have entered our Floating Cloud Realm over the past thousands of years."

"So Brother Lingyuan, there is no need to worry that we will do anything bad to you. The cultivators of the Floating Cloud Realm have always been extremely welcoming to people from outsiders, with few exceptions." Li Bing continued.

"Why?"

From the perspective of the Taixuan Realm, anyone from the outside world, aside from immortals, is viewed with considerable resentment, feeling alienated. Not rejecting them is already the best approach, so how could they possibly welcome them? "It's because most outsiders possess exceptional talent, often able to manifest Dao Fruits at the True Lord level."

Taoist Changsheng smiled and said, "For us, manifesting the Dao Fruit means having the potential to become a True Immortal. Such qualifications are rare in any Taoist school, so naturally the more the better."

"Just like Brother Lingyuan, no matter where you appear in the world, as long as your talent is revealed, many sects will come to you just to accept you as their disciple."

"My 'Bi Luo Chao Sheng Pavilion' is also not without its members."

At this point, he paused briefly, then spoke in a serious tone, "Brother Lingyuan is residing in the Liu Clan's villa. He has a connection with Qingzhou and with my 'Biluo Chaosheng Pavilion'. If you are interested in pursuing the great Dao, why not follow your fate and become a disciple of my Chaosheng Pavilion?"

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he suddenly felt something touched for some reason.

The young boy with low-grade water spirit roots back then has now become known as a peerless immortal talent in this world...

However, this is understandable. He has had countless opportunities along the way. Not only does he have a dragon vein, but he also survived death and achieved the innate Tao fetus. Now, because of the "Tai Su Wuxiang Yuqing Jue", the Tao fruit has been manifested. It is no wonder that there is such a statement.

Seeing him frown and remain silent, Taoist Changsheng thought he was looking down on the Biluo Chaosheng Pavilion, so he quickly introduced it loudly: "Brother, don't think that our Chaosheng Pavilion is insignificant. If we were to put it in the entire Floating Cloud Realm, we would rank among the top ten!"

"Although our Biluo Chaosheng Pavilion originates from the remote Qingzhou, it is a genuine lineage of True Immortals. Patriarch Yunlan guards the mountain gate all year round and preaches for three months every hundred years. This is an opportunity that ordinary lines of thought cannot achieve."

"Furthermore, I see that Brother Lingyuan favors water in his five elements, which coincides with the principles of our Chaosheng Pavilion. The fundamental cultivation techniques of wood and water within our sect lead directly to the realm of True Immortal. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could join our sect and then practice cultivation there?"

"Even if Brother Dao doesn't want to go to such trouble, my Chaosheng Pavilion also has many Taoist treasures. There must be spiritual objects suitable for Brother Dao!"

He paced forward, then suddenly took two steps closer, whispering, "More importantly, our Chaosheng Pavilion doesn't ask outsiders about their past affairs. However, other sects, like the Yujingxu in Zhongdu, would inquire thoroughly about everything, fearing the possibility of hidden dangers..."

He could see that Chen Mu was extremely cautious, not easily revealing his feelings, and even his expression was deliberately controlled.

Most of those who are so cautious have some unspeakable past...

As for the hidden dangers, he thought, since Chen Mu was not from the fairyland, how big could the hidden dangers be?
After all, their Biluo Chaosheng Pavilion is a True Immortal sect, so they really don't care much about ordinary hidden dangers...

He spoke sincerely, and Chen Mu was indeed moved.

It's not that he is greedy for a stable and enjoyable life, but he feels that if he can join such a true immortal sect, his own cultivation progress will be greatly improved.

But he was not in a hurry to agree. There is no free lunch in the world. If you give something, you will naturally get something in return. This is the truth of the world.

Chen Mu didn't think that just by relying on the illusory talent of a True Immortal, he could make such a large True Immortal sect support him without asking for anything in return.

"If I become a disciple of the mountain sect, what do I need to do?"

Taoist Changsheng laughed heartily and replied calmly: "Nothing special, I just need to go to the Three Heavens Cloud Sea Market to fish for some high-level Dao Traces for my master."

Chen Mu remained expressionless: "What do you mean?"

Taoist Changsheng said, "Actually, this matter is quite simple. Most of the Dao Marks that are born naturally gather in the Three Heavens. A few low-level Dao Marks will appear below the Three Heavens due to changes in the celestial phenomena..."

Chen Mu nodded slowly, but thought of the three-attribute Dao mark in the storage bag, which seemed to be in line with the latter sentence.

"Low-level Dao Marks are easy to obtain. Even if you don't want to spend money fishing for them at the Cloud Sea Market, you can deliberately look for changes in the celestial phenomena and then go there to obtain them."

"But high-level Dao Marks can only be manifested above the Third Heaven. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is to obtain."

"Normally, a Taoist Master would fish for thirty years to obtain a fifth-order Dao Mark. It might seem impressive, but in reality, the efficiency is extremely low and is not enough to support his daily practice."

"And at this time, another special feature of 'Daoguo' is revealed."

"A True Lord who has manifested the Dao Fruit doesn't even need to fish for three years. It's enough to match the work of a True Lord who hasn't manifested the Dao Fruit. The efficiency is increased by more than ten times."

"More importantly, when Dao Fruit manifests, all the thousands of Dao Marks are similar. If you're lucky when fishing, you can even catch a sixth-order Dao Mark!"

"A sixth-order Dao Mark is already the most precious treasure in this world. Its preciousness is beyond our imagination..."

Taoist Changsheng was amazed and sighed with emotion.

Chen Mu's eyes flickered, and he asked directly, "Just now I heard from fellow Daoists Li and Liu that fellow Daoist Changsheng will also have his Dao Fruit manifested. I wonder if he will go fishing in the Sea of ​​Clouds after he achieves his Dao Fruit?"

Taoist Changsheng laughed heartily and waved his sleeves, saying, "I know what you are worried about, Brother Dao. Don't worry, it's not just me who will go. Everyone in my sect will have to go as well."

"Dao Marks are related to one's own path, and what one has caught is the most suitable. This can be avoided at lower levels, but when one reaches the True Lord level and above, every cultivator who yearns for the Great Dao will try their best to avoid refining other people's Dao Marks."

"I see that Brother Dao's heart towards the Dao is particularly firm. Perhaps he will often go to the Heavens in the future..."

What he said was not wrong, but it only applies to immortals with the potential to become true immortals.

After all, if you ask those who haven't manifested the Dao Fruit and don't have so many choices, why would they care about whether it's suitable or not? Just being able to refine it is good enough...

Chen Mu nodded slowly, thinking to himself that if it was really as the Taoist Changsheng said, then joining the "Biluo Chaosheng Pavilion" might not be a bad idea...

Taoist Changsheng did not elaborate further. After waiting for Chen Mu for a moment, he said in a slow tone, "I have said so much. I think Brother Dao needs time to think about it."

He thought for a moment, and a jade-like leaf slipped from his sleeve: "We will return to the mountain first to report. If you are willing to complete this matter, please take this leaf and tell us. We will come back and personally lead you into the mountain..."

Chen Mu took it with his hand and bowed: "Thank you for your kindness, fellow Taoist."

He really needs to think it over carefully. This matter is too serious to just listen to one person's opinion...

Taoist Changsheng nodded and smiled, then walked out of the courtyard first.

Li and Liu hurriedly followed. After leaving the courtyard, the three of them did not forget to bow to Chen Mu, who had seen them off. "Brother Lingyuan, please don't see us off. We're leaving now."

After he finished speaking, the gourd on the Taoist Changsheng's waist made a slight sound, and a large green wooden dragon roared out. It circled around and invited all three of them onto its back carapace. Suddenly, it soared into the sky and disappeared in a stream of light...

At this time, the Zhang family members had not left yet, and they were almost stunned by the scene before them.

Zhang Xuanjing's eyes were dull, and he subconsciously looked at his father and others, but he sensed some resentment in their eyes.

The target of his resentment was not others, but himself, who had become a useless person...
