Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1372 - 108: Awakening of the Southern Pole Emperor

Chapter 1372: Chapter 108: Awakening of the Southern Pole Emperor

"Senior brother, when will the Emperor leave seclusion?"

Immediately from within the Stone Tower came Shen Hou’s inquiry.

"He has already left seclusion. Senior brother Guang Cheng will go to court tomorrow to meet the Emperor, junior brother Shen, don’t worry." Daoist Guang Yuan replied.

The Shen Hou inside complained: "How can I not be anxious? With no definite news, I’m restless day and night. Moreover, I braved fire and water for the sect, and upon returning, to be shouted at by junior brother Yin is one thing, but you all treat me like a demon."

The two Daoists exchanged a glance, showing a trace of embarrassment.

"Ahem—" Daoist Guang Cheng lightly coughed and said, "Junior brother, we’ve wronged you, but don’t worry. When we meet the Emperor tomorrow, I will ask the Emperor to intervene and suppress your bad luck. Then you can come out. Also, I will elevate you to the position of Deputy Temple Master of our temple, and you’ll be a strong candidate for Zong Zheng on the Jiang family’s side."

He may be the leader of a sect, but Daoist Guang Cheng does have the ability to make enticing promises.

This promise significantly dispelled Shen Hou’s resentment.

"Fine," Shen Hou reluctantly said, "I’ll stay in this Stone Tower for one more day. But let me tell you, although Qi Fortune is based on Life Charts, trying to influence destiny is nonsensical. You, senior brother, are also proficient in Yi Dao, a master of North Pole Divine Number and Taiyin Divine Number, how could you believe in this?"

Having been sealed by the array for so long, Shen Hou couldn’t help but speak a few more words.

The two Daoists were also aware of Shen Hou’s thoughts, so they let him speak.

Unexpectedly—

"Boom—"

Like a massive wave crashing against the shore, a surge of force swept across the sky dome.

Both Guang Cheng and Guang Yuan were startled, and then immediately elevated their forms to look towards the source of the surge.

Only to see within the Divine Capital, inside the Imperial City, silver white and crimson red alternately flashed, moonlight and Li Fire collided, generating wave after wave of force.

"This is······" Daoist Guang Yuan said in shock.

"The Princess seems to be fighting with the Gongsun Family Master." Daoist Guang Cheng added.

Only those two could cause such a stir within the Imperial City.

It’s not that other third grades couldn’t do it, but only a few have the qualification to act within the Imperial City without incurring the Emperor’s wrath.

At that moment, a thought simultaneously flashed through the minds of the two Daoists—"Is something happening in the Emperor’s backyard again?"

As this thought passed, the two Daoists exchanged a glance, then suddenly looked towards the Stone Tower.

Could it be that even the invincible Emperor is encountering misfortune?

"······"

Daoist Guang Yuan fell silent for a moment, stroking his long beard beneath his chin, said: "This poor Daoist heard that the court has been constantly conquering the seas recently. Junior brother Shen Hou has been overseas for several years and should be familiar with the overseas situation. Why not send junior brother overseas?"

"Good." Daoist Guang Cheng said solemnly.

For a moment, the two third-grade Daoists couldn’t help but marvel at Shen Hou’s uniqueness and lament the sect’s endurance over so many years.

Their attention was entirely absorbed by Shen Hou and the surge, completely oblivious to the faint fluctuations appearing within Yuxu Temple.

Illusory light waves flowed like water, silently permeating into Yuqing Hall.

Inside the solemn hall, statues of Immortal Gods stood tall, some bright, some dim, emitting faint Qi mechanisms.

This is where Yuxu Temple stores Dao Fruits. These statues are actually Dao Artifacts. Back then, Jiang Li’s Qingyuan Miao Dao True Monarch Dao Fruit was obtained from here.

Originally, Yuqing Hall had Daoist Guang Yuan stationed here, but today, he was needed to preside over the Taiyin Life-locking Array, leaving only the array and its restrictions.

But those protections can stop others, but not certain strong individuals.

The faint light waves flowed directly past the twelve statues at the end of the hall, flying to the wall behind.

Amidst the space fluctuations, the light on the wall began to circulate, revealing a visible glow and a large star emerged, radiating star power, with thunder light pulsating, transforming into thunder scars.

"South Pole Daoist friend, it’s time to awaken."

Within the fluctuating light came a voice, followed by the expansion of the light and the appearance of an elegant, dignified female phantom, raising her right palm to inject vibrant vitality into the large star.

"Buzz—"

Instantaneously, the star power resonated with a hum, thunder light gradually became dazzling, the cycle of life and death flickered, inciting movement in the surrounding statues.

However, the female phantom merely waved her hand, suppressing all movements, not even allowing the commotion to spread outside.

"Who calls upon this seat?"

A deep voice echoed from within the large star, thunder light converged to form a Thunder Eye, slowly opening.

"Spiritual mechanism? Such fortuitous vitality······ Has the Five Turbid Evil World finally ended?"

The Thunder Eye showed a hint of confusion, then instantly locked onto the female phantom, "Is it the Queen Mother of the West."

"South Pole Daoist friend, the end of the Five Turbid Evil World is near; your time for rebirth has come."

The phantom of the Queen Mother of the West looked at the Thunder Eye, first explaining the situation, then suddenly shifted her tone, "But if you wish to revive, it won’t be easy. The Yuqing Dao inheritance has already betrayed the Three Pure Ones. They’re now standing opposite to the Three Pure Ones and have submitted to their enemies."

"What’s more interesting is that the person they submit to is the one chosen by the Three Pure Ones. That person was supposed to inherit the Dao Fruit of the Three Pure Ones, yet chose to abandon it, resisting the arrangement of the Three Pure Ones."

Upon hearing the earlier statement, the Thunder Eye showed no unusual color, but when the Three Pure Ones Dao Fruit was mentioned, the thunder light flickered, revealing the unsettled state of the South Pole Longevity Emperor.

The South Pole Longevity Emperor didn’t care much about the Yuqing Dao inheritance.

With this former key figure of the Yuqing Dao inheritance present, the inheritance exists, whether others betray or not is not important. It would be a matter of destroying the traitorous inheritance and establishing a new great sect.

Yet the Dao Fruit of the Three Pure Ones was something the South Pole Longevity Emperor couldn’t ignore.

He might harbor resentment for the Three Pure Ones inviting the End of Dharma, leading to his downfall, but wouldn’t hold a grudge against their Dao Fruit.

Although the Three Pure Ones chose others to inherit the Dao Fruit instead of himself, the South Pole Longevity Emperor wouldn’t have any objections.

The Queen Mother of the West’s words directly hit the most crucial point the South Pole Longevity Emperor cared about.

The desire for progress is something common among cultivators··· or possibly a failing, the South Pole Longevity Emperor possessed this too. In a sense, all cultivators are of the same kind.

For the Queen Mother of the West, she holds no particular concern whether the Three Pure Ones transcend or not.

In fact, it’s better if the Three Pure Ones transcend; it would mean fewer burdens.

The Three Emperors resent the Three Pure Ones for bringing the End of Dharma and will go to any lengths to prevent their transcendence; Jiang Li wants to break away from the Three Pure Ones, but the Queen Mother of the West does not.

That’s why she straightforwardly used the Three Pure Dao Fruit as a bait, stirring the heart of the South Pole Longevity Emperor.

With this point alone, it’s enough to make the South Pole Longevity Emperor an enemy of Jiang Li. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Why do you inform this seat of this matter, what is your purpose?" The South Pole Longevity Emperor said seriously.

Though he is moved by the Three Pure Dao Fruit, he is also aware the Queen Mother of the West wouldn’t be so benevolent. To purposefully awaken him, there must be a motive.

The Queen Mother of the West didn’t hesitate, and openly said, "South Pole Daoist friend, you have slept for a long time; you wouldn’t know that the world now is no longer the world of the past. Emperor Jiang has been rampant for a generation, harboring persecution against those of us from before the End of Dharma. We’re on the verge of being cornered by him."

"By the way, Emperor Jiang is the one chosen by the Three Pure Ones. He’s also the one who defeated the Great Heavenly Venerate. The Great Heavenly Venerate already fell at his hands."
