Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 727: The Longevity Incipient Dao Fruit and the Space Incipient Dao Fruit

Chapter 727: The Longevity Incipient Dao Fruit and the Space Incipient Dao Fruit

“What is the Longevity Incipient Dao Fruit? Does it belong to our Everlasting Lineage?” Lu Yang asked.

“Let this immortal think how to explain it to you.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy lowered her head, tapped her forehead, and explained after serious contemplation. “To explain the Longevity Incipient Dao Fruit, we must start by explaining the Longevity Immortal Physique. Do you know about it?”

“I’ve heard a little. It’s said that those with the Longevity Immortal Physique have a lifespan several times longer than those at the same cultivation realm.”

“That explanation works, but it’s not comprehensive.”

Since the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord possessed the Longevity Immortal Physique, it meant he had likely lived from the early Great Yu era until now without slumbering, making him a true living fossil.

The Longevity Immortal Physique was exceedingly rare, and there were hardly any descriptions of it in texts. However, coincidentally, there was someone who possessed this physique in the ancient era.

“The Longevity Immortal Physique has two functions. One is just as you said—living longer. The other is accelerating one’s own time.”

“What does ‘accelerating one’s own time’ mean?”

“Take that Myriad Spells Daoist Lord as an example. If learning a spell normally takes him a full day, he can accelerate his speed twelvefold. To the outside world, it will look like he learned the spell in just two hours instead of an entire day.

“Drawing upon this same principle, the Longevity Immortal Physique also works during cultivation. Him cultivating for two hours is equivalent to others cultivating for a full day.

“Wasn’t it said that this Myriad Spells Daoist Lord was a cultivation genius with incredibly fast cultivation and spell-learning speeds? This is the reason.”

Lu Yang finally understood. So that’s how it is.

Essentially, the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord isn’t as terrifying as the world claims; all of it had been piled up through sheer time.

“Since he has the Longevity Immortal Physique, the easiest Incipient Dao Fruit to form would be the Longevity Incipient Dao Fruit. That’s just how lazy people are.

“The Longevity Incipient Dao Fruit inherits the Longevity Immortal Physique’s abilities, evolving from ‘Longevity’ to ‘Undying,’ and retains the time acceleration of the self.

“Didn’t you see it just now? The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord manipulated time to dodge the Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s Heaven’s Eye.”

Lu Yang nodded. With his own ability, he naturally couldn’t clearly see the process of the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord manipulating time. Hence, he had been borrowing the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s immortal consciousness to watch the battle from the beginning.

He saw it with perfect clarity.

“The superior versions of this type of Incipient Dao Fruit are my Everlasting Dao Fruit and the Epoch Dao Fruit. He’s considered half a member of our Everlasting Lineage.

“Let me demonstrate it to you.”

~~~

“There was no spell fluctuation just now; it was the ability of an Incipient Dao Fruit. You are a half-immortal?” The Vast Sea Daoist Lord narrowed his eyes at the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord.

Logically speaking, the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord shouldn’t have been able to dodge Heaven’s Eye at his level, yet he did.

The only explanation is that he’s a half-immortal.

“Heh, your discernment is not bad despite your lacking strength.” Confident of victory, the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

The gap between a Transcendent Tribulation cultivator and a half-immortal cannot be bridged by any means.

“Lacking strength?” The Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s eyes turned icy as killing intent radiated from him. This is my first time encountering a cultivator who dares to evaluate me like this!

The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord was about to say something more when he suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself, causing both him and the Vast Sea Daoist Lord to pause for a moment.

The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord looked at the Vast Sea Daoist Lord in bewilderment. Is this his technique?

~~~

“You saw that, right? This immortal can control his actions at will,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy said smugly. “How’s that? Should I make him slap himself a few more times?”

Lu Yang, “...”

“Big Senior Sister wants the Senior Vast Sea to gain combat experience. Immortal Fairy, you should behave.”

Lu Yang suddenly thought of another question. “Doesn’t the Longevity Incipient Dao Fruit mean that if he condenses the full Dao Fruit, he would possess the abilities of both the Everlasting Dao Fruit and the Epoch Dao Fruit?”

That would be terrifying.

“In theory, yes. However, the Longevity Incipient Dao Fruit has significant problems.

“First, while it has the ‘undying’ characteristic, it doesn’t reach the level of the Third-in-Command, who can self-detonate and recover at will. At most, he can survive a few fatal injuries. Its time manipulation ability also can’t compare to the Epoch Incipient Dao Fruit.

“In the ancient era, there was a half-immortal with the Longevity Incipient Dao Fruit, and he died at the hands of the Epoch Immortal when he was still a half-immortal.

“Second, as long as this immortal and the Epoch Immortal exist, he can never condense the complete Dao Fruit.

“Third, our Everlasting Lineage has high requirements for one’s temperament. Someone with his temperament cannot condense a Dao Fruit.

“At the half-immortal level, blindly meditating in seclusion is useless. What’s important is comprehension. Perhaps some mundane daily occurrence can provide you with inspiration, clearing the clouds and revealing the sky to shed light on your path of cultivation, thereby allowing you to improve.

“In cultivation, merely piling up time doesn’t yield results.”

“Even if that’s the case, the Longevity Incipient Dao Fruit is still very powerful. Can Senior Vast Sea really win?” Lu Yang was worried, and not without reason. How do you fight someone who can control time and doesn’t die?

“He can win.”

~~~

Neither half-immortal, ancient or modern, dwelled on why the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord had suddenly slapped himself. They resumed their intense battle.

“Raging Waves of Stormy Seas!”

The Vast Sea Daoist Lord extended two fingers and performed Shadow-Swap Teleportation, summoning the waters of the East Sea. He had once roamed the East Sea and left a mark on its seabed, allowing him to summon the seawater above that mark at any time.

The waters of the East Sea descended from the sky, pouring down upon the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord.

Even with his time control, facing such a large-scale spell made escape difficult, unless he fled the Dao-Seeking Sect, but that would defeat his original purpose.

An invisible barrier held back the seawater, suspending the East Sea’s waters in the air and submerging both the Vast Sea Daoist Lord and the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord.

The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord produced a spear. This was his proud magical treasure that was only a step away from being an immortal artifact. The spearhead was engraved with a Reverse Five-Elements Spell Seal that was capable of breaking through anything composed of the five elements, such as the East Sea’s waters.

Time accelerated. The Reverse Five-Elements Spear became too fast to see as it pierced through the seawater and thrusted toward the Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s back.

“Freeze!” The Vast Sea Daoist Lord had long noticed the Reverse Five-Elements Spear. With a light shout, the seawater froze, transforming into a giant iceberg. The faint chill it emitted could be felt even by the Transcendent Tribulation and Fusion cultivators fighting below.

Ice also belonged to the five elements. As it was within the Reverse Five-Elements Spear attack range, the spear penetrated the Vast Sea Daoist Lord’s body, the massive shockwaves even splitting the iceberg into two.

Unexpectedly, the Vast Sea Daoist Lord was completely unharmed, while the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord had a fist-sized penetrating wound in his abdomen.

“Transplanting Flowers and Trees... No, this is a spatial method!” The Myriad Spells Daoist Lord spat blood. He knew the power of the Reverse Five-Elements Spear best.

Initially, he thought the Vast Sea Daoist Lord had transferred the injury to him, but he quickly realized that wasn’t the case. Executing Transplanting Flowers and Trees required multiple conditions, which hadn’t been met earlier.

He used a spatial technique!

What seemed like the spear piercing the Vast Sea Daoist Lord was actually him transferring the pierced part of himself to the Myriad Spells Daoist Lord.

The Space Incipient Dao Fruit!
