Chapter 195: Embryonic Form of the Immortal Dao Fruit
"Y-You are truly an immortal, the Immortal Immortal?" Lu Yang’s body trembled all over, his hands finding nowhere to rest, the corners of his mouth twitching upward uncontrollably in his intense excitement.
"Child, do not be excited, this Immortal is right here." The Immortal Immortal’s face softened. "You are the first place winner of this competition. Though the top performer of the Qi Refining group had some commendable points, they cannot compare to you. You are the well-deserved number one."
"As a reward, this Immortal shall grant you a wish." "A wish? Are there any requirements?"
"Ask for whatever you wish, this Immortal is omnipotent." "I wish for world peace forever."
"How about another one?" the Immortal Immortal said tentatively, admitting to himself that his previous statement had been somewhat exaggerated.
To seize Lu Yang's body, he had to obliterate his soul. However, his soul was rooted in the physical flesh; even if uprooted, the roots would remain, leading to an incomplete possession, which would be detrimental to future cultivation.
The best method was to fulfill his wish, so that the roots of the soul would fall away on their own, allowing for a perfect possession.
He reckoned that Lu Yang was merely in the Foundation Establishment stage and a loose cultivator to boot; what kind of wish could he possibly have? At most, he would ask for an immortal treasure. Give it to him, and he could just take it back after the possession anyway.
"I wish that everyone could become an immortal." "......"
This was even worse than the previous one.
"I wish for productivity to be vastly developed, so that people do not need to labor to obtain resources and can freely choose the things they like to do."
"······Change it."
Is this kid here to join a demon sect, or is he planning to overthrow the Great Xia Dynasty and establish a new one?
Lu Yang looked at the Immortal Immortal with some disappointment. Was this immortal actually capable? His talk was grander than Huang Doudou's, yet he couldn't fulfill a single one of the three wishes.
The Immortal Immortal was provoked by Lu Yang's gaze, but he knew this matter could not be rushed.
"Child, the wishes you made are all related to the world. Do you not have a wish of your own?" the Immortal Immortal guided him patiently. As long as Lu Yang answered that he wanted to become an immortal, he would have a reason to possess him.
Using your body to become an immortal also counts as fulfilling the wish!
"I do. I wish to cultivate to the realm of opening the heavens and earth and reshaping the universe." "......"
Could your wish be a little smaller?
If I had that kind of capability, would I still be here earnestly trying to bluff you? Seeing that this Immortal Immortal lacked real ability, Lu Yang had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.
"I have an Eldest Senior Sister whose cultivation is matchless under heaven. I wish to defeat her."
"Hahaha, this matter is as easy as turning over a hand. I can suppress her with a casual wave of my arm." The Immortal Immortal laughed incessantly, thinking to himself that there was finally a simple wish.
She was merely a senior sister of the Foundation Establishment stage; how high could her cultivation possibly be? He, the grand Immortal Immortal, suppressing such a little slip of a girl would surely be as easy as taking candy from a baby.
"After this Immortal possesses you, I will naturally suppress that little girl for you!"
"Possession?!" Lu Yang's pupils constricted slightly. He never imagined that what was promised as an immortal's blessing would turn into an immortal's possession. He spun around and ran, desperate to flee this devil's den.
"Give up. If you could escape before this Immortal, where would this Immortal place his dignity!" Feeling the terrifying pressure of the Immortal Immortal, which felt as heavy as a mountain, Lu Yang fell into despair.
If he hadn't won, would the outcome have changed?
If he hadn't won, would the outcome have changed?
If he hadn't made a wish, would the outcome have changed? If he hadn't joined the Immortal Sect, would the outcome have changed?
Panic, regret, fear... a multitude of emotions surged into his heart, but unfortunately, it was already too late.
Seeing Lu Yang reveal such an expression, the Immortal Immortal couldn't help but sneer, turning back into thick smoke and flying into Lu Yang's mental space.
And then, the moment he entered, he caught a slap. *Smack.*
A crisp slapping sound echoed, and the Immortal Immortal was sent flying by a single blow.
"So it's you, grandson, who is impersonating this Immortal Fairy?" A certain unruly woman stepped forward and immediately began punching and kicking the Immortal Immortal. To an ignorant outsider, it would look like an unscrupulous young girl beating a hundred-year-old man.
"Let me tell you, back in the ancient era, Ying Tian and the other three didn't even dare to do this. Who do you think you are!" "Impersonating this Immortal Fairy—did you pay respects at the dock, did you offer tributes, did this Immortal Fairy nod her head?"
"Who is there!" The Immortal Immortal was a bit dazed. He hadn't even figured out what was happening before being slapped. Why was there someone else in the mental space? Was this kid so popular that people were queuing up to possess him?
"You don't even know your grandaunt, yet you have the face to mingle outside?" The Immortal Fairy had long found him eyesore. He was going around cheating and swindling under the name of "Immortal." As the true original, she herself was either despised by Lu Yang or bullied by Yun Zhi, living a truly miserable life. Finally, the Immortal Immortal had come in, and she could give him a good thrashing!
She had never seen the appearance of the Immortal Immortal before; he was not anyone she was familiar with.
"Fairy Punch!" The Immortal Fairy fabricated a name on the spot, her pink fists raining down like a torrent, pattering heavily upon the Immortal Immortal's body.
The fist technique seemed reckless, but in truth, it was exquisite to the absolute pinnacle, each strike completely unpredictable.
The Immortal Immortal felt that every single blow landed precisely on his vital and weak points. Even though he was in a soul state, he felt an urge to cough up blood and fall to his knees; he felt as though his soul was about to scatter and dissolve into nothingness.
Just where did this monster come from?
"This is taking things too far!" The Immortal Immortal was furious. He grasped the Immortal Dao Fruit, and ever since his resurrection, he had been enshrined like an ancestor by the Immortal Sect, getting whatever he desired and having everything go his way. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
"Eternally Immortal!"
The Immortal Immortal roared, and a cluster of golden light manifested in his palm, immortal qi drifting, so brilliant that it made it impossible to keep one's eyes open. This cluster of golden light was neither matter nor soul, but something existing far above them.
It possessed a certain bizarre power, giving one the feeling of being indestructible and impervious to all laws, as if any attack falling upon the Immortal Immortal would dissolve into nothingness.
"The embryonic form of the Immortal Dao Fruit?" The Immortal Fairy was surprised, finally understanding where the faint, familiar aura on the Sect Leader had come from.
This fellow who impersonated her actually possessed some substance.
"You, woman, are quite knowledgeable. This object is the Immortal Dao Fruit. Before this object, this Immortal is immortal, ageless, undying, and imperishable, the sole existence across eternity. All destinies return to nothingness, all attacks turn to naught. What can your attacks possibly do to me!"
Having sacrificed the Dao Fruit, the Immortal Immortal gained confidence.
Huang Doudou revealed a disdainful smile: "Just a crude imitation of me, what is there to be proud of?" "Fairy Punch!"
Huang Doudou brandished her pink fists once more, and with a single punch, she shattered the barrier the Immortal Immortal prided himself on. The force of the pink fist did not diminish, striking him directly in the face.
"This embryonic form of the Dao Fruit is somewhat interesting." The Immortal Fairy casually snatched the embryonic form of the Dao Fruit away, the cluster of golden matter appearing in her hand as she observed it with great interest.
Within the golden matter, countless runes and rules manifested and perished, appearing and disappearing as if explaining the changes of eternity and illustrating the true meaning of immortality.
Lu Yang looked over curiously, only to be pushed aside by the Immortal Fairy: "Shoo, shoo, your current realm is insufficient, you cannot look at this kind of thing."
"Y-You, what did you do?!" The Immortal Immortal panicked. Originally, the embryonic form of the Immortal Dao Fruit was intimately connected to him, bound even more tightly than the fusion of a soul. Reasonably speaking, no force could separate them.
But now, he could not feel the connection to the embryonic form of the Immortal Dao Fruit at all! The embryonic form of the Immortal Dao Fruit had completely lost control!
Just who was the opponent! How did she achieve this!
"Flaunting a Dao Fruit before this Immortal Fairy is like showing off one's axe skill before Lu Ban." The Immortal Fairy smiled triumphantly. At this moment, another ethereal voice of immortal qi drifted over, echoing in the Immortal Immortal's ears. "I heard that you want to suppress me?"
Only then did the Immortal Immortal notice that within the mental space, besides Lu Yang and the mysterious woman who snatched his Dao Fruit, there was actually a third person!
Just how many people are there in your mental space?! Do possessions nowadays require standing in line?
Some people are dead, but not completely dead……
