Chapter 1366: Lu Yang's Overlooked Talent

At the moment he saw Lu Yang possessing the immortal Dao fruit, the mastermind behind the scenes felt his head struck as if by a great yellow-lü bell, his spiritual platform plunged into chaos.

He suddenly realized a problem: on this new timeline, why did he and Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi start fighting?

On this timeline there is no immortal immortal, so there is fundamentally no conflict between him and Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi—why does Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi regard him as a mortal enemy?

What on earth happened on this timeline?!

…

After destroying the Immortal Sect, Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi captured the immortal immortal Bu Yao Lian and discovered he possessed an embryonic immortal Dao fruit.

Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi saw that the embryonic immortal Dao fruit had enormous potential; if condensed into a Dao fruit, it would be nearly unmatched among immortals.

But at that time Lu Yang was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, his cultivation too low, not yet ready to engage with higher levels, so Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi did not tell him this idea.

Later experiences resembled the old timeline; after Lu Yang obtained the Invincible Pill and the Invincible Nascent Soul, during his time in the Demon Realm and the Eastern Sea, he did not encounter Jiang Lianyi, Ao Ling, or Huang Doudou.

During the Tribulation Crossing of Soul Transformation, he also did not encounter the residual thought of Ying Tian Xian.

Because Lu Yang did not resurrect the immortal immortal, nor pass through the time channel to see the ancient four immortals, the ancient four immortals left no historical reflection of the five-in-a-row game, so he did not know the immortal immortal would die, did not establish Buddhism as a backup, and Ying Tian Xian had no reason to leave a thought in the heavenly tribulation.

Without Buddhism, there naturally was no Buddhist state; at the end of the Xin Huo Dynasty, the Sui Yue Xian was ambushed once by the mastermind, had nowhere to hide, and ultimately died at the mastermind's hands.

Although he did not encounter people from ancient history, Lu Yang inevitably met figures such as the sixth Yu Emperor Wu You Dao, the Void Supreme, the Nightmare Supreme, and the Great Yu Tribulation cultivators during his training.

After experiencing so many unexpected events, Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi felt uneasy about Lu Yang going out alone; as a precaution, she left a backup on him.

The memories of the two timelines gradually merged, allowing the mastermind behind the scenes to finally form a rough understanding of this timeline's events.

In the old timeline, since Lu Yang resurrected the immortal immortal, the mastermind paid him much attention.

In the new timeline, Lu Yang did not resurrect the immortal immortal, so the mastermind merely regarded him as an interesting minor cultivator and knew little about his early experiences.

What truly drew his attention to Lu Yang was when Lu Yang went to the Gui Laurel Immortal Palace.

The mastermind noticed Lu Yang, and Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi, through her backup, also noticed "Ying Tian Xian".

The mastermind was forced to step forward and converse with Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi and Lu Yang.

At that time he was astonished to discover that Lu Yang actually possessed the Invincible Pill, leading him to once suspect Lu Yang had some connection with the immortals.

As the conversation deepened, he realized Lu Yang's Invincible Pill had no relation to the immortals; it was merely that both condensed their golden cores in the same way, which relieved him.

Lu Yang and Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi then learned from "Ying Tian Xian" about the mastermind and the Xin Huo Dynasty.

When Lu Yang underwent the Tribulation Crossing of the Void Refinement stage, Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi requested "Ying Tian Xian" to act, strengthening the Lei Jie to stimulate Lu Yang's potential.

During his first entry into the Jibei, Lu Yang did not see the Jiu Chong Immortal.

The opportunity for his second entry into the Jibei came when Xue Shi Lou passed the trial and became heir to the Snow Emperor; Lu Yang went to congratulate and saw the mentally fractured Jiu Chong Immortal.

When Lu Yang reached the Tribulation Transcendence stage, considering Yun Yun Yun Yun Yun Yun Yun Yun Yun Mengmeng already possessed an embryonic immortal Dao fruit, if Lu Yang also obtained one, future competition might arise; Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi did not wish to see this, so she did not mention the embryonic Dao fruit.

Unexpectedly, Yun Yun Yun Yun Yun Yun Yun Yun Yun Mengmeng secretly transmitted to Lu Yang the experience of condensing an embryonic immortal Dao fruit; by the time Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi discovered it, it was too late—Lu Yang had already condensed the embryonic immortal Dao fruit.

At that time Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi had not yet transmitted knowledge of the Dao fruit to Lu Yang, so Lu Yang did not know that similar types of Dao fruit could only exist as one.

"Little Zhi, you often say the embryonic immortal Dao fruit is very strong, right? If we both have an embryonic immortal Dao fruit, wouldn't we be able to progress together and grow stronger?"

"Are we rivals? No, no—Lu Yang younger brother is so formidable, he will surely be the one to finally condense the immortal Dao fruit."

Things having developed to this point, Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi could only go along with the mistake.

Later, Lu Yang and Yun Yun Yun Yun Yun Yun Yun Yun Yun Mengmeng encountered Qing He, who ran a restaurant, and a Great Yu cultivator with designs on Qing He.

This enraged Huang Doudou, who in one breath beat the Great Yu cultivator all the way to the sun; the Zhong Tian Emperor Jun and Si Ming, favoring protection of their own regardless of right or wrong, Huang Doudou saw this and also beat those two.

This incident drew Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi's attention; as the chief culprit in the destruction of the Xin Huo Dynasty, Huang Doudou must be executed.

It was precisely then that Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi first used half-step Unity Dao power, causing several Star Core Jin Dan to extinguish.

"Ha, so the Star Core Jin Dan in the heavens are yours—how long can you still remain in the mortal realm?" Huang Doudou laughed even on his deathbed, piercing Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi's dilemma.

Only then did Lu Yang realize his senior sister's situation was dire—she would eventually achieve Unity Dao.

He proposed abolishing the immortal Dao fruit embryonic form and condensing a Source-Tracing Dao fruit embryonic form to prolong his senior sister's life, but she sternly refused.

This was their first disagreement; Lu Yang even became angry.

Neither yielded; Lu Yang decided to comprehend the Dao fruit system while simultaneously possessing both the immortal Dao fruit embryonic form and the Source-Tracing Dao fruit embryonic form.

Few truly realize that Lu Yang's cultivation talent is actually terrifying—within less than a century of the Tribulation Transcendence stage, no one in ancient or modern times has cultivated this fast.

This is also evident in spellcraft: the function of the Source-Tracing Dao fruit is to correct the original form of spells, not to teach him spells.

Each time he studied spells—such as the Three Flavors True Fire, Shrinking Ground to an Inch, Palm-Held Buddhist State—these were not things his current realm could learn, yet he mastered them all, leaving even Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi astonished.

This time, to save his senior sister, he exhausted himself, staying awake all night, repeatedly having sudden insights, studying Dao fruit theory, drawing from the Unity Dao system—only then did his true talent emerge.

The three great realms above immortals have already been exhausted by predecessors; all he can do is innovate on the Dao fruit path.

Eventually, he forged a slightly different path capable of accommodating two Dao fruit embryonic forms.

But a cultivator's soul cannot support two Dao fruit embryonic forms; to consume other Dao fruits, the Zhong Tian Emperor Jun needed to refine the Gui Laurel Tree Ancestor to strengthen his soul; the mastermind possesses multiple Dao fruits because his first consumed was a Soul Dao fruit.

With the aid of the Gui Laurel Tree Ancestor, Lu Yang simultaneously possessed both the immortal Dao fruit embryonic form and the Source-Tracing Dao fruit embryonic form.

In fact, Lu Yang never intended to condense the immortal Dao fruit; he only wanted to use the Source-Tracing Dao fruit to save his senior sister's life.

To be frank, his senior sister would certainly refuse; to reassure her, Lu Yang created the dual Dao fruit system.

When passing the Immortal Ascension Tribulation, as Lu Yang condensed the Source-Tracing Dao fruit, he found the immortal Dao fruit remarkably easy to condense—easier than imagined, hardly a burden at all.

He carefully sensed and discovered it was the Invincible Primordial Spirit fused into his body that was helping him condense the immortal Dao fruit!

This is something only the immortal immortal knew; she had told Lu Yang that persisting in selfhood was one reason for condensing the immortal Dao fruit, and the second reason she did not state was: "The immortal Dao fruit is invincible, so its owner must also believe himself invincible; only the invincible mindset can maintain immortality."

Lu Yang then smoothly condensed the immortal Dao fruit.

No one expected Lu Yang could actually do it; at that moment even the mastermind was startled, for during the Immortal Ascension Tribulation Lu Yang clearly said he was only condensing the Source-Tracing Dao fruit!

The immortal Dao fruit signifies that Lu Yang will ascend to omniscience; his displayed talent, and the great karmic factor of wherever he goes, things happen— the mastermind believes Lu Yang will surely become omniscient!

Before the Immortal Ascension Tribulation had fully dissipated, the mastermind decisively struck, hoping to strangle Lu Yang in the cradle.

But this time is unlike antiquity; with Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi watching nearby, Lu Yang is not in a defenseless state on the verge of breaking through to omniscience.

Seeing this, Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi acted without asking why, daring to harbor murderous intent toward her junior brother—she must die!

The collision from their fight was unprecedented, striking a hole in the Wuling Continent as they battled across the universe!

Then, the will of the mastermind behind the old timeline covered the will of the mastermind behind the new timeline.

After roughly understanding what happened in this timeline, the mastermind suddenly realized that the Immortal Immortal had always called Lu Yang "Second Patriarch of the Immortal Lineage," and in front of the Time Immortal, praised Lu Yang as the strongest in the future—perhaps not mere favoritism, but because Lu Yang was truly suited for the Immortal Dao Fruit, with cultivation talent surpassing all!

Whether it was him or the other three ancient immortals, they had all been misled by Lu Yang; anyone would think Lu Yang's mental space housed an Immortal Maiden, and his current achievements were inseparable from her contributions.

But upon careful thought, everything Lu Yang heard from the Immortal Maiden was black history—he never learned anything useful, and even if he did, it was only death-feigning techniques useless for cultivation and combat, or arts like reversing yin and yang, swallowing heaven and devouring earth—arts that Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi could teach!

Lu Yang often said cultivation relied on oneself, refusing the Immortal Maiden's help—not just empty words, but something he had consistently done all along.

Otherwise, how could he be worthy of the Immortal Maiden?
