Chapter 760: The Dao-Fruit is Hard to Describe

~19 min read 3,661 words

"Quickly memorize this talisman text!"

Yu Lingxiao was still struggling in fear and confusion when a voice came to his ears. He saw a talisman text suddenly appear on the golden-armored heavenly soldier, seven-twisted and eight-crooked, chaotic and strange.

Yu Lingxiao subconsciously followed that voice and silently memorized this talisman. Gradually, the seven-twisted and eight-crooked, incomprehensible true text suddenly twisted back. Although it was still shrouded in a feeling of chaos, Yu Lingxiao could barely recognize it.

"Majestic... Spirit... Dou Mansion, Imperial Pardon Heavenly Soldier!"

Yu Lingxiao found that this talisman text finally became normal in his eyes. The talisman text was exactly the Cloud Talisman Thunder Text secretly passed down by the Heavenly Realm, carrying a majestic heavenly power and thunder-evil meaning. The illusory feeling that the whole world was floating, which seemed true and false, was finally dispelled.

Yu Lingxiao secretly thought: "That was indeed an illusion! My Yu family is a branch of the Ji surname, a noble of the Heavenly Court, ruling all realms! How could I have the illusion that the countless realms of the cosmos are just a part of the Yu Yu Jiuyou?"

He looked at where the voice came from, hurriedly bowed down and said: "Junior Yu Lingxiao, I have met the Zangshan Laozu!"

The heavenly soldier transformed by the Heavenly Mansion Tianfu Tianfu Zhenfu had now transformed into four, surrounding a God King wearing a crown and a broad belt blowing in the wind.

It was exactly the ancestor of the Yu family in the Heavenly Court—King Weiling.

Yu Lingxiao knew that there were means left by his father in the Heavenly Mansion Tianfu Tianfu Zhenfu he carried, but he didn't expect that the one invited down was his family's biggest backer, the God King who commanded the Weiling Department of the Dou Mansion.

"Get up! The Xuantian Emperor's Dharma eyes observe the Three Realms. He commands the Dou Department and monitors us, so he cannot easily descend to the world. If it weren't for this place being the place where all realms return to ruins, and a sliver of the Taiyi Demon Zangshan Laozu's destructive Dao-fruit not having dissipated, covering the Xuantian Emperor's Dharma eyes, I wouldn't have been able to split my divine sense down."

Yu Lingxiao said gratefully: "So it was the Zangshan Laozu's divine sense that guided me to break that illusion just now..."

"Illusion?"

King Weiling revealed a meaningful smile: "You were infected by the aftermath of the destructive Dao-rhyme before, which startled a sliver of my divine sense. Afterward, you fell into the Dao-scene. Even if I helped you break free, you were still infected with a sliver of the destructive Dao-fruit's aura and will sooner or later fall into that destroyed world. After you broke free, you didn't recognize the Heavenly Mansion True Text. The Cloud Talisman Thunder Text is proof!"

"This is because such true texts are the manifestation of the Great Dao. You were gradually sinking into the world of destruction and were rejected by the Great Dao, so you didn't recognize this text."

Yu Lingxiao listened, breaking out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Please save me, Zangshan Laozu!"

Although he didn't know what the destructive Dao-rhyme and that destroyed world were, hearing King Weiling's implication, he was afraid it was even more miserable than falling into the Yu Yu Jiuyou, so he kowtowed to this ancestor again and again.

King Weiling just muttered: "Everyone knows that the Taiyi Dao Zangshan Laozu merged with the Dao and opened the sky, becoming the ancestor of all Daos, but they don't know where the Old Heaven before he opened the New Heaven went? Yu Yu Jiuyou, Earth Immortal Realm, Heavenly Immortal Realm—if these Three Realms still exist, how can they be called the New Heaven? Only by destroying the Old World can the New Heaven be opened. Although the Three Realms still exist, they have actually been completely reshaped. Everything in the past was destroyed by the Taiyi Demon Zangshan Laozu!"

"However, the existence of the Taiyi Demon Zangshan Laozu..."

"This secret is extremely hidden even in the Langhuan Pavilion. How did you know?" King Weiling was a little puzzled.

Yu Lingxiao hurriedly said: "The Yu family I come from, before the Heavenly Court was exiled, once hand-copied a part of the Langhuan collection. Among them... among them were quite a few secret transmissions of the Demonic Path confiscated by my Heavenly Court. Because I coveted their power, I read them from time to time!"

"You are quite honest!"

King Weiling secretly thought that the Langhuan Pavilion was careless, actually letting such a terrifying big secret leak out unintentionally. But since it was his own descendant, it didn't matter.

He immediately skipped this part.

As for the Demonic Path cultivation and those terrifying magic methods that Yu Lingxiao suddenly erupted with, he only thought that Yu Lingxiao had cultivated them secretly. Although it was not very decent, the Yu family did a good job of keeping up appearances and didn't spread the news of falling into the demon path, so he didn't care.

"After the Old Heaven was destroyed, because of the Taiyi Demon Zangshan Laozu's destructive Dao-fruit, all remnants were accommodated by the Dao-fruit, becoming a part of that destruction."

"In the past, the destructive Dao-rhyme even echoed in the countless realms of the cosmos, and those infected would involuntarily sink into the destructive Dao-fruit. You must know that the destructive Dao-fruit is actually the Indestructible Dao-fruit, the manifestation of the Taiyi Demon Zangshan Laozu's principle that nothing is indestructible, only changed. The destructive Dao-fruit extracts the eternal and indestructible things from the Great Destruction, destroying everything to the root that cannot be destroyed. So there are various reflections of the Old Heaven remaining in that Dao-fruit."

"After destroying the Old Heaven, the Taiyi Demon Zangshan Laozu transformed into the Supreme One and abandoned the destructive Dao-fruit in the Yu Yu Jiuyou, only then cleansing the destructive aura of the countless realms of the cosmos and merging with the Dao to open the sky."

"But this Return to Ruins is the place where the countless realms of the cosmos intersect and can lead to the deepest part of the Yu Yu Jiuyou, so a sliver of destructive Dao-rhyme leaked out. Otherwise, under the New Heaven, all existences of the Old Heaven could not manifest. Only by getting close to the Return to Ruins is it possible to accidentally trace back to a sliver of Old Heaven aura in spells and divine powers, become infected with destruction, and finally the whole world will collapse and sink..."

"What the ancient Witch Dao said—ominous! —refers to being infected with destructive aura!"

Yu Lingxiao was anxious: "Is this what I am infected with—ominous?"

"Among the Eleven Ghost Plagues, the Ghost Tiger is an evil god of the Old Days, the Mountain Lord who eats ghosts; the Plague is the ghost of pestilence; the Charm is a monster transformed from objects; the Fault and Ominous, and Dream have no physical bodies and are extremely mysterious; the Crucified are the remnants of sacrifice, the evil of the god's leftovers; Parasitism is strange and unpredictable, parasitic on human life; Observation is seeing a different world; Giant is a huge and unobservable evil thing; Gu is a tiny and unobservable evil thing."

King Weiling explained.

Although he was one of the Ji-surname princes who ascended to heaven with the Zhou Son of Heaven during the Heavenly Zhou Divine Dynasty, the Heavenly Zhou Divine Dynasty had countless Old Heaven monsters hidden, and even the Zhou Son of Heaven was a reincarnation of a great divine power. Therefore, the true faces of the Eleven Ghost Plagues were revealed by him slowly, and even the Observation and Giant, which no one knew, were revealed.

Observation is seeing another world.

And Giant is an existence that is huge and terrifying, and cannot be perceived while being in it.

"In this Return to Ruins, there is one thing! It is the evil god of the Old Days, the source of pestilence, the monster of object transformation, mysterious and abnormal, the remnant of sacrifice, strange and unpredictable, able to see different worlds, huge and unmeasurable, tiny and unobservable!"

King Weiling seemed to have a huge fear, and even terror.

"That is the Dao-fruit left behind by the Dao Lord who died in this place!"

"Especially the destructive Dao-fruit..."

King Weiling said lightly: "Only Dao-fruit can resist Dao-fruit! Dao-fruit is like a force suddenly born in the void, without reliance. Even if you struggle in every way, you will inevitably be drawn to it. Because all primordial qi, matter, divine powers, and spells cannot act on it. Only the force of another Dao-fruit can pull you, to balance it, so you are not drawn into it."

Yu Lingxiao thought of the despair of the void being empty and without reliance, and felt a jolt all over.

"I infected you with my own Weiling Dao-fruit, temporarily pulling you out of destruction! But the destructive Dao-fruit was abandoned by the Dao Zangshan Laozu. Its Great Dao is perfect and extremely terrifying. If you go deeper into it, I cannot save you. Otherwise—it is not that there are no Dao Lord Dao-fruits that wrestled with the destructive Dao-fruit and were drawn into it. Dao-fruit is indestructible. Even if the Dao Lord dies, he can be born from the Dao-fruit. But being drawn into destruction, that is no different from being completely destroyed!"

King Weiling warned.

"Then the Dao Lord buried here?" Yu Lingxiao felt that his brain was really good today, and there was a kind of wisdom of seeking death emerging one after another, as if the wisdom pearl was in his hand.

King Weiling revealed a strange smile: "Dao-fruit is indestructible. Therefore, the Heavenly Court deals with those rebellious Dao Lords by suppressing them into the Yu Yu Jiuyou. Their Dao-fruits are naturally attracted by the destructive Dao-fruit and sink into destruction. Even if there are one or two remnants, they cannot escape the Yu Yu Jiuyou! The Return to Ruins leads to the deepest part of the Yu Yu Jiuyou, so naturally, it can also bury Dao Lords, and most importantly, bury their Dao-fruits."

"This is the place where the great powers plotted to murder Dao Lords, or the place where Dao Lords who wanted to get rid of their own Dao-fruits buried themselves."

"The Eleven Ghost Plagues are mostly the influence of the Dao-fruits left behind by the gods who fell in the Old Heaven. The Dao Zangshan Laozu passed down the Nuo method to drive away these influential things with the twelve evil gods he killed."

"Your Yu family did a good job, finding the place where the Heavenly Dog Great Sage died. Buried in its belly are the Old Heaven sun and moon, which have a great connection with the sun and moon of the Earth Immortal Realm. The remnants of the Immortal Han really wanted to use the Dew-Bearing Plate to pull this part of the sun and moon origin out of the Heavenly Dog's belly and reopen the Heavenly Realm!"

"This is a great disaster for the Heavenly Court!"

"You must recapture the Dew-Bearing Plate. As for this place, leave it to me to deal with!"

King Weiling stared at this part of the Ten Thousand God Cave. A huge dog corpse, incomparably huge, with a body comparable to a world, vaguely revealed half of its buttocks. They seemed to be roiling in that intestinal tract, heading straight for the bottomless stomach bag.

This God King restrained his divine light, only dropping that Heavenly Mansion Tianfu Tianfu Zhenfu, and among the four heavenly soldiers behind him, the one with the ghost mastiff also separated to protect Yu Lingxiao.

He himself transformed into a divine light and sank into the Weiling Dou Mansion tablet on the forehead of the heavenly soldier.

Yu Lingxiao respectfully invited his own ancestor God King to return to his position. Only then did the gray-white mist roil around him, and he stepped out from the last foot of the door to the world of destruction.

"Yu Lingxiao!"

A group of Northern Border demon races driving the skull of a Great Demon flew over aggressively. A group of Yu family disciples were miserable, held in the mouth of the skull, ready to be chewed to pieces at any time!

The fox girl leading them scolded: "You dog thing with shrunken eggs... don't pull, I'm not scolding you (kicked away those little dogs)... plague-ridden harm-bringer, your Yu family is probably all rotten-crotch sharp goods. How dare you frame us, causing this aunt to lose a tail!"

"If you don't give me an explanation, you Yu family members will all be blood-sacrificed to the Saint Bone!"

Seeing this, Yu Lingxiao just sacrificed the Mountain-Driving Whip. He didn't know how his ancestor's Weiling Dao-fruit was entrusted to him, but he felt that every move he made had supreme majesty with him, as if countless heavenly soldiers and generals were blessing him. Any bit of magic power could be transformed into a magic spirit heavenly soldier. He shook the Mountain-Driving Whip casually, as if ten thousand soldiers were picking up the whip with him.

Although the Mountain-Driving Whip was as heavy as the Five Mountains, those heavenly soldier magic spirits were all people with strength exceeding ten thousand jin.

The spiritual light that was originally heavy and difficult to display was finally handy at this moment.

Yu Lingxiao waved his whip, and the great divine power of the Mountain-Driving Whip and the Sea-Crossing Whip transformed into a mountain-moving, sea-filling spiritual light, spreading overwhelmingly toward the fox girl, making her feel as if the Five Mountains were collapsing in front of her.

Tushan Qingqing screamed and sacrificed the white skull under her feet.

The huge skull was bathed in green fire, and its two horns supported the spiritual light of the Five Mountains, taking the blow of the Mountain-Driving Whip. Dozens of demon races on it poured demon qi into the skull beneath them. Taking the counter-shock of this whip, their hearts jumped, and their internal organs were roiling.

Many demons opened their mouths and spat out blood mist. Even if their physiques were strong, they couldn't help but have blood seeping from the corners of their mouths, feeling their internal organs shaking.

Tushan Qingqing's brows jumped, and she hurriedly said: "Yu Lingxiao, don't you want the lives of these Yu family members?"

The Yu family members held in the skull's mouth were already shaken by this collision. If Tushan Qingqing hadn't subconsciously divided a small half of her magic power to protect them, they would have died on the spot.

Yu Lingxiao looked at those Yu family members with blue and black brows, entangled with destructive aura, and looking like dead people.

"They are afraid they are all infected with ominous, and without the protection of the ancestor's Dao-fruit, they will sooner or later be dragged into that world."

"Even dragging others, they will provoke ghost plague fierce things! Isn't it seeking death to bring them by my side? But they are family after all, so I can't just kill them like this. Otherwise, it will look cold and thin in front of the ancestor, which is not good."

Yu Lingxiao vented some of his ferocity with a whip and calmed down. He immediately pointed and said, "Tushan Qingqing, hand over my clansmen, otherwise the next whip won't be so polite!"

Tushan Qingqing's brows jumped, secretly thinking: "This guy probably doesn't care about the lives of these people at all. I planned to use them to hold him hostage, but I miscalculated! And this person's face is dark gold, like gold paper, his luck is restrained, which is very different from when he just came in. There is probably a huge strangeness on him. Forget it! I'll endure this time."

"Hmph! You don't care about your own family's lives, but my Northern Border demon department still has a bit of kindness!"

Tushan Qingqing released those Yu family members and said: "When I caught you, I still held back three points of strength. But when your young patriarch whipped down, he probably didn't care about your lives. The various dangers of digging this place are also for you to do. It's your bad luck to follow this person."

Hearing this, many Yu family members' faces turned black, and they looked at Yu Lingxiao with three points of resentment.

Yu Lingxiao didn't care.

The only thing he cared about was the thoughts of the ancestor behind him.

But not caring about the lives of his clansmen to complete the ancestor's explanation was a plus here.

No matter how deep the clansmen's resentment was, it couldn't hurt him at all. On the contrary, when his father sent these people, they were already abandoned pawns. Therefore, this remark had no effect on him, only strengthening Yu Lingxiao's idea of using these people as consumables and not letting them be sent back to the clan safely.

When Yan Shu and Ning Qingchen arrived while protecting the dozen or so disciples of the Shenxiao Sect, they witnessed this scene.

Yu Lingxiao stopped in this cave hall with the Mountain-Driving Whip on his back. His clansmen were on the other side. The Northern Border demon department looked at Yu Lingxiao with hostility, but for some reason, there was no hostility between the Yu family and the demon department. Many great demons looked at them, and there was even a trace of strange sympathy.

Accompanied by a scream, the old woman from the Guanghan Palace rushed in with disheveled hair.

Her face was twisted, and she was already half-crazy. The cultivators of the Great Bright Palace were behind, covering her with a mirror emitting red light, only then stopping her loss of composure.

"Fellow Daoist Ni of the Guanghan Palace encountered some strangeness on the way and is a little unclear."

He looked around and saw that everyone's state was not good, so he smiled bitterly: "This place, this place is a bit strange... I don't know what fellow Daoists encountered? We fell into a strange dream and it was hard to distinguish truth from illusion. At this time, I don't know if fellow Daoists are real or fake. If I did something later, I hope you will be magnanimous!"

At this time, the Dragon Clan also rushed over. The old dragon's eyes carried a very deep hesitation, as if he doubted everything.

Hearing the explanation from the North Pole Great Bright cultivators again, he said hoarsely: "Don't get close to us. Who knows if there are parasitic things among you? Dragon child, stay with your father obediently, don't run around."

As he spoke, he scanned everyone with his huge dragon eyes covered in bloodshot eyes.

Others didn't feel anything wrong, but Yu Lingxiao and Yan Shu both frowned slightly. Yan Shu's heart sword rang, making him suddenly remember: "Didn't the Dragon Clan only have a few mixed-blood old flood dragons and this true dragon when they came in? Why are there dragon children? No, how can the Dragon Clan have so many people?"

Yan Shu looked at the dozen or so figures in the Dragon Clan, but couldn't distinguish which ones were real. He felt numb in his heart and subconsciously stayed away from them.

Quite a few people gathered in this cave hall, so everyone rested here for the time being to meet up with those behind. Soon, the families of Southern Jin and the Buddhist sect, Cao Wei, Doulu Palace, and Zhengyi Dao also caught up. Everyone's expression was not good, and many family disciples even showed terror.

Xu Daofu saw everyone and smiled bitterly, shaking his head: "The charm is very strange, fierce!"

The previous dangers had already vented most of the crowd's sharpness. A family disciple asked Little Yu: "I don't know how many dangers are in this cave, but you pretended to be fine and came and went freely. What exactly did you hide?"

Little Yu knew he had offended the public, so he hurriedly explained: "We're almost there! In front is where the palace is. Once we get there, as long as we are not greedy, it will be much safer... right?"

He looked around at the scattered crowd and really didn't know how many dangers were mixed in here.

If disaster were contagious, probably everyone would be targeted by seven or eight kinds of ghostly things. With his rich experience in dealing with evil spirits, even if he walked out of the Return to Ruins alive, he would only bring disaster out. It would be better to die here.

Therefore, when he said this, he felt a little guilty.

At this time, a thumb-sized little person holding a brush bigger than himself flew over, swaying. The group of demon lords of the Demonic Path looked at each other, their eyes containing surprise. Yan Shu also froze slightly and said: "Why did Junior Brother let you in too?"

The Ear-Dao God gestured and gestured, and Yan Shu probably understood that it wasn't Qian Chen who sent it here, but that it couldn't stay outside, so it could only run in.

"What happened outside?"

Yan Shu didn't understand the Ear-Dao God's abstract splash-ink painting this time. The Ear-Dao God could only take up the brush and draw a picture for Yan Shu.

Pitch-black ink spread everywhere on the stone wall, like a black sea roiling, seemingly hiding something in the rolling. In the darkness, a string of beads bloomed with brilliance, round and smooth. That string of beads was quite long, but it broke from the middle and scattered.

Falling into the darkness...

Somehow, Yan Shu saw those beads falling into the splashing ink darkness from the Ear-Dao God's abstract splash-ink painting style. The spreading ink traces actually showed the charm of demons, ghosts, and monsters.
