[Heaven almighty, the Dao Pattern of legend!] [This is a true Dao Fruit Senior bestowed upon us!] [[We shall never forget Senior’s kindness.]] It was their eternal glory to receive this. Ling Qingshan gulped, “Senior…” He and Ling Hai were touched to the core. [How could I be worthy of a Dao Fruit? It’s such a waste!] [No, I need to get it to the sect. To worship and pray to Ancestors!] Chen Changan stared at them staring at the fruits. “You don’t want it? You don’t like tangerines?” Ling Hai and Ling Qingshan bobbed their heads at once. “Senior’s Dao Fruit is invaluable. We are beneath such a right as to taste them.” “Old Hai is right, Senior. It’s better if you take the Dao Fruit back.” Ling Bao’er and Foxy blinked cluelessly. [Dao Fruit? I never heard of it. Didn’t Master say it’s just some random Spiritual Fruit? [Invaluable?] Chen Changan started at their refusal, then smiled. With a thought, the two popped into the Eternity Temple’s Immortal Garden. One tree there was especially eye-catching. It shone in an Immortal Glow, with Dao Energy suffused around it. What was more, it was golden! “This isn’t something as grand as a Dao Fruit, it’s just an average Spiritual Fruit. I have plenty of them to spare—more than I could eat.” Ling Hai and Ling Qingshan froze on the spot at such a display. Then they turned a shaky look at the Spiritual Fruit in their hand. Soon, Heavenly Lightning struck down as Ling Qingshan shone in a golden light, using his body to withstand its might. On Soaring Immortal Mountain, Ling Bao’er, Foxy, Chen Changan, and Ling Hai oversaw Ling Qingshan’s Tribulation. “Dad’s passing the Tribulation into the Nascent Soul!” Ling Bao’er cheered. Ling Hai gasped. Having eaten his tangerine, he found the Spiritual Energy inside him was growing from one moment to another. Chen Changan was confused. [Is some random Spiritual Fruit I grew so amazing? One’s enough to pass Tribulation?] The Tribulation was over, and Ling Qingshan landed in excitement and gratitude. “I can’t thank you enough, Senior. Without the Dao Fruit, I don’t think I’d ever reach Nascent Soul.” He had been stuck at peak Golden Core for ages. He had the Spiritual Energy, but that proved he missed something else to make the last push. Now, with just a fruit from Chen Changan, he succeeded. All cultivators had to walk their own path to Immortality. Dao was simple, the core of all things, real and illusory. Dao was sublime. Each world had its own Dao and its own Principles. Chen Changan grew his crossbred Spiritual Tree, which was primordial in origin. It did not stem from Dao. It bore Dao Fruits out of nothing due to holding a minute trace of it within. Ling Qingshan had absorbed it, giving him what he lacked to reach Nascent Soul. This event only worked to lift Chen Changan’s image in the two’s minds to the rank of divinity. Their veneration had no limit, not even death. This fruit was the best medicine for all stuck in their cultivation. Hit a wall? No problem. With this fruit, all your walls would go away! All cultivators on the Nine Province Continent, Demons and Spirits included, had to work hard in their practice of cultivation, and even then, they’d be stuck at some point or another. Some would be held back for decades, while others for centuries. It was they who needed this fruit the most. Just one was enough to whisk all their cultivation troubles away. Ling Hai and Ling Qingshan witnessed on their own skin that this Dao Fruit would indeed work on everyone. The only question was if it worked for Spirit Severing and even Empty Immortal. That would take the Nine Provinces by a veritable storm. Ling Hai and Ling Qingshan offered their conclusions to Chen Changan. [I grew something incredible, didn’t I?] Chen Changan was stunned. He didn’t let it show, however, while his mind was taken by some radical ideas. [No, that can’t be allowed.] Chen Changan put a stop to the crazy ideas. Chen Changan coughed. “It’s unclear which stage gets to benefit the most from the Dao Fruit, but you may take some to your sect in case there are Nascent Soul cultivators stuck so that they may try its effects.”
