Inside the forest, Ling Xian sat in a lotus position. Like an old monk, he was unmoving.
Before him, a golden fruit floated. There was no light, no glow, and no fragrance.
It was the Fruit of Dao.
This fruit had three heavenly effects, each more shocking than the last. The ability to help a living being reach the peak of the ninth level was even more heaven-defying.
The undefeatable realm of the ninth level was the hardest to reach. Even the unparalleled Heaven's Favorites had a very low chance of reaching it.
This wasn't an exaggeration. The seven Heaven's Favorites were all amazing, but none of them reached the peak of the ninth level.
Yet one fruit could help a living being reach the ninth level. It wasn't hard to imagine just how heaven-defying this fruit was.
Currently, the Fruit of Dao was close to ripening. In another half a month, it could be consumed.
When that happens, Ling Xian will have all nine undefeatable realms. His foundation will be flawless and his battling abilities will be unparalleled!
"This moment is finally here."
Looking at the Fruit of Dao, Ling Xian grinned with high expectations.
The Tree Spirit had high expectations as well. He looked at Ling Xian with a smile, "When you reach the undefeatable realm and become a God, you will be undefeatable."
"Undefeatable?"
Ling Xian's eyes were deep. The handsome man was already at the Immortal Realm. Unless he becomes one as well, he won't be undefeatable.
However, reaching the peak of humanity wasn't an exaggeration.
The undefeatable realm of the ninth level was far too heaven-defying. Once he reaches it, it wouldn't be hard for him to defeat those close to the Immortal Realm.
Ling Xian shifted his gaze towards the Tree of Dao, "My life is in your hands."
"Don't worry. This place is desolate. Nobody will disturb you."
The Tree Spirit stroked his beard, "Even if there is, I can guarantee your safety. Don't forget, I am a cultivator close to the Immortal Realm."
"It is because you are close to the Immortal Realm that I am worried."
Ling Xian softly sighed. He was crowned a victor after one battle and was hailed as the future ruler. Even if he thought with his toes, he knew that the Bai Clan and the Pavilion of Seven Saints wouldn't leave him alone.
Everyone knew that he had a cultivator close to the Immortal Realm by his side. If the Bai Clan and the Pavilion of Seven Saints wanted to get rid of him, they would send someone close to the Immortal Realm.
"You are worried about the Bai Clan and the Pavilion of Seven Saints?" The Tree Spirit erased his smile. He wasn't dumb.
"That's right, the Bai Clan and the Seven Saint Pavilion are definitely looking for me. Let's hope that they are a bit slower."
Ling Xian stared into the horizon. Even though the Elder Xuan Ji had helped him hide his whereabouts, there were too many treasures and secret techniques in this world. With the capabilities of the Bai Clan and the Seven Holy Pavilions, it wasn't impossible for them to find him.
"You don't have to worry about Ying."
The tree spirit smiled and said, "Wait patiently. The day the Fruit of Dao ripens will be the day you reach the peak of humanity."
Hearing this, Ling Xian closed his eyes and waited in silence.
Time passed bit by bit. Half a month later, the Dao Fruit shone brightly like the sun.
The light was extremely bright. If Ling Xian didn't set up an array, it would've lit up everything and startled the entire universe.
"It's finally mature …"
Ling Xian opened his eyes. Heavenly light pierced through the sky and crushed the mountains and rivers.
Then, he opened his mouth and inhaled. The Dao fruit turned into a mysterious force that flowed through his organs and meridians.
At once, Ling Xian's physical body began to emit light. Like the golden body of the Buddha, he lit up all nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of hell.
The mysterious force then split into three. One to extend his lifespan, one to break through to the next level, and one to complete his foundation.
All three of these forces were extremely difficult to digest. Even for someone as powerful as Ling Xian, it took him months.
At this moment, Ling Xian concentrated and calmed himself down to brew.
Time passed by silently. After a month, he had digested the power of prolonging his lifespan. His blood boiled and he was full of vitality.
The Fruit of Dao's ability to prolong one's lifespan was far too powerful. Because of the curse, Ling Xian had consumed too many life-prolonging items and had built up a resistance.
Despite this, his lifespan was still extended by tens of thousands of years. This was heaven-defying!
"What do you think? I didn't lie to you, did I?" The tree spirit smiled at Ling Xian.
"It is no wonder it takes 100,000 years to bloom, 100,000 years to bear fruit, and 100,000 years to mature. It sure is heaven-defying."
Ling Xian exclaimed. As long as one doesn't become an immortal, one's lifespan will eventually end. In this era where it is impossible to become an immortal, who would complain about having an extra lifespan?
Therefore, Ling Xian smiled and was beyond happy.
But in the next second, his smile disappeared and his expression turned cold.
This was because a mirror that was 3,000 meters long appeared. Its light lit up the nine heavens and the three realms.
The Mirror of Reflection!
Under the illumination of this mirror, nothing could hide from it. It could be said to be the most powerful treasure for locating people.
"Dammit."
Looking at the Mirror of Reflection, the Dao Tree's heart dropped. Ling Xian felt the same.
What he was most worried about was the Bai Clan and the Pavilion of Seven Saints finding him. Especially after he consumed the Fruit of Dao and before he had a breakthrough.
This was the worst timing. The powerhouses of the Bai Clan and the Pavilion of Seven Saints will be here. Ling Xian will not be able to digest the fruit in peace. Once he misses the timing, the power of the Fruit of Dao will dissipate.
"Ling Xian, I finally found you."
The strongest cultivator of the Bai Clan appeared. His killer's intent was vast and powerful.
There were three elders behind him, all of them like supreme deities. Their brilliance was on full display as they reigned supreme over this world.
Close to the Dao!
In this era where there were no immortals and no Gods, close to the Dao was the synonym for undefeatable. Three close to the Dao appeared at the same time. Who could fight against them?
Even if the Dao Tree was a spiritual root, it was not enough.
Three close to the Dao. When they work together, they can flatten the world!
"This is troublesome."
The Tree Spirit's expression was ugly. If he fought one on one, he was not afraid of any of them. But if it was one against three, he would die for sure.
Ling Xian's expression was ugly as well. His heart dropped to the bottom.
Ever since he began his cultivation journey, he had encountered countless desperate situations. But none of them added together could compare to the danger he was facing now.
Three close to the Dao were attacking together. It was a situation where death was inevitable and there was no way out!
"You are the Ling Xian who defeated the King of Yang and the King of Ren Yang?"
An elder in black asked coldly. Like a God, he looked down on the world and the three realms.
"That's right."
"Based on what I know, the Bai Clan and the Pavilion of Seven Saints each only have one close to the Dao. I wonder which force the third one is from?"
Ling Xian's gaze was deep. Even though he was in a hopeless situation, he did not panic.
The more desperate the situation, the calmer one should be. Panicking was pointless.
"I am the Mo Clan's Elder."
The elder in black spoke softly, "You have no feud with the Mo Clan. But the Mo Clan and the Bai Clan are good friends."
"What the Bai Clan can give you, I can give you too. I can even give you more." Ling Xian stared at the elder in black.
He had no way out of this situation. The only thing he could do was to convince the elder in black to betray him.
"Don't waste your breath. There is no way I will betray you. But I admire your talent."
"If you allow me to place a inhibition spell on you, I can plead on your behalf and spare your life. What do you think?"
The elder in black grinned. Ling Xian had the potential to dominate an entire generation. If he could make use of him, then the Mo Clan could dominate the universe.
"What do you think?"
Ling Xian smiled, "I cultivate to be free. If I am controlled by others, what is the point of living?"
"Think carefully. If you don't agree, your soul will be destroyed." The elder's smile disappeared.
"Don't waste your breath. I don't want to live."
Ling Xian's expression turned cold, "Let me give you a piece of advice. Either you kill me or you don't interfere."
"I know you have shocking potential. If you become close to the Dao, then the Mo Clan will be destroyed."
The elder in black stared at Ling Xian coldly, "Therefore, I will make sure your soul and body are destroyed."
