Chapter 1749: Epoch Dao Fruit: All Become Proto-Sages (Second Update, Request Subscription)

"Truly terrifying!"

In the Shenmo world, Su Xiao watched the scene in the Mystic Mirror, deeply shaken: "Su Daji has become a Great Luo Jinxian? How little time has passed! Can a person's fortune really be this absurd?"

Ye Hei chuckled: "Don't forget, Su Daji is a pivotal figure in the Shenmo world. Such a person could never lack great fortune."

"Not so," Xiao Mai shook her head. "Wasn't Su Daji possessed from the start?"

"Perhaps," Li Shimin speculated, "it's precisely because her human fortune is so strong that she was chosen for possession and could draw near the current human king."

Feng Chengcheng sat quietly aside, listening to the others' chatter, and sighed: "Friends, didn't we come here to gather the Epoch Dao Fruit? This is the perfect moment—at the dawn of the Epoch. Hurry, or we'll miss it and enter the heart of the Epoch."

Su Xiao pressed her forehead: "How could it possibly happen that fast?"

Though she said so, the group each found their own spot, forming seals in their hands to gather the laws of this world's Cataclysm Epoch.

A phantom Dao Fruit coalesced in Su Xiao's hand, radiating brilliant, flawless divine light that illuminated heaven and earth.

In truth, the Dao Fruit was formless by nature.

It took on various shapes only because of the cultivator's inner conception.

If a cultivator envisioned the Dao Fruit as a fruit, the forged Dao Fruit would take the shape of a fruit.

If a cultivator envisioned the Dao Fruit as a lotus, the forged Dao Fruit would take the shape of a lotus.

The Dao Fruit in Su Xiao's hand was a white lotus, pure and immaculate.

After a full year of cultivation, the Dao Fruit finally coalesced into a true, substantial lotus.

Su Xiao opened her eyes, gazing at the lotus, a flicker of surprise in her gaze.

"Incredibly wondrous—this is the Dao Fruit. It seems I can become a Proto-Sage!"

Thanks to the Cosmic Tower, Su Xiao's cultivation time had been far from short.

Moreover, with the Dao Fruit now formed, she had sufficient power to sever the Three Corpses and become a Proto-Sage.

With a thought, the Dao Fruit rose and merged into Su Xiao's body.

In an instant, a girl in a white robe appeared out of thin air—she was one of the Three Corpses Su Xiao had severed.

Because she cultivated the Epoch Dao, the Three Corpses had no division into Good, Evil, or Obsession; severing them was far easier.

As long as one seized the Dao Fruit at the dawn of the Epoch, one could manifest it.

"Wondrous, wondrous—it's as if I've gained another life."

Su Xiao was overjoyed; with a thought, she reabsorbed the Three Corpses into her body to cultivate gently, beginning to sense the Hunyuan nature.

A Proto-Sage is also called a Hunyuan Jin Xian.

Upon entering this realm, one can already sense the Hunyuan nature and extend it outward.

Years passed.

Su Xiao opened her eyes, frowning: "What's wrong? Why haven't I sensed the Hunyuan nature yet? Is the Epoch Dao not working?"

"It's not that the Epoch Dao doesn't work."

A soft laugh sounded; Yun Xiao appeared beside her. "Sensing the Hunyuan nature isn't easy—it's not something you achieve in a few years. If it were, the Dream Lord would never have reached Hunyuan Perfection without ever understanding the Hunyuan nature."

"Wow, Yun Xiao sister!" Su Xiao cheered and rushed over. "Can you teach me then?"

"Of course," Yun Xiao smiled.

Su Xiao was overjoyed.

She'd only asked casually—she hadn't expected it to actually work.

"Won't Tai Xuan brother say anything?" Su Xiao asked cautiously.

Yun Xiao was speechless: "When did my husband become so stingy?"

"That's true," Su Xiao nodded, then asked, "Then what should I do?"

Yun Xiao smiled: "Do nothing. Just comprehend."

She touched Su Xiao's forehead with one finger; instantly, a vast torrent of information flooded her mind.

Su Xiao sat down again, deeply contemplating.

For years on end, her aura grew ever more mysterious and strange—deeper than even the Saints of this world.

A Hunyuan Jin Xian is far more inscrutable than a Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian.

If anyone from this world saw it, their Dao heart would shatter on the spot.

Unbelievable.

"I've extended the Hunyuan nature outward!"

Su Xiao suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze brimming with delight; she turned to find Yun Xiao—but Yun Xiao had already left.

"Haha… I'm truly a Proto-Sage now!"

As she laughed, beams of Mystic Light shot up and landed nearby.

It was Xiao Mai, Ying Zheng, and the others.

"Su Young Lady found the Hunyuan nature—and extended it?" Ying Zheng exclaimed. "Truly remarkable."

Su Xiao giggled, slightly proud: "Thanks to Yun Xiao sister's guidance—I'd be nowhere without her. What about you? Haven't you found a way yet?"

Ying Zheng shook his head: "Not yet. Never mind. This journey has already succeeded—we've become Proto-Sages. To want more would be greedy. I'll return and contemplate slowly; I'll come back during the Epoch to forge another Dao Fruit."

Li Shimin agreed: "Exactly right."
