Chapter 2340 - Flower Burial's Grace
The Sovereign's Ascension
Lin Jiangxian and Xiong Tiannan were dumbfounded. After all, an Eternal Dao Fruit was a legend, and no one had heard or seen it before.
Lin Yun smiled while sharing what he saw in the Sovereign Monument.
âAhâ¦â Xiong Tiannan felt embarrassed that Lin Yun saw what he did in the illusory world.
This time, Lin Jiangxian believed what Lin Yun said because it was the same as what they had experienced. She thought, âI thought there was no inheritance or anything inside, but it looks like I wasnât recognized.â
âThere's no need to be bothered about that,â Lin Yun replied. âThat senior must not be a swordsman. If heâs a swordsman, I believe he would have picked you.â
âIf heâs a swordsman, he wouldâve chosen you first,â Lin Jiangxian smiled, and what she said was the same as that senior.
âCan I take a look at it? The Eternal Dao Fruit?â Xiong Tiannan stuttered.
âLetâs leave this place first.â Qilin Mountain might be empty, but this place wasnât safe. He gave away the Golden Dao Fruits, and the two didnât hesitate to accept them this time.
Four hours later, they came to a ruin and found an empty area, where Lin Jiangxian set up a simple concealing spiritual array before Lin Yun took out the two crimson dao fruits.
The dao fruits emitted an ancient aura, and Xiong Tiannan could feel his soul being sucked in with his dao flowers appearing beyond his control. In a brief moment, the dao flowers gave a feeling that they were about to burst apart, scaring Xiong Tiannan into turning his gaze away.
âHoly shit!â Xiong Tiannan felt lingering fear and did not dare to look at it anymore.
Seeing this, Lin Yun stowed the Eternal Dao Fruit.
âItâs really the Eternal Dao Fruit,â Lin Jiangxian took a deep breath and couldnât conceal her shock.
Ji Zixi curiously asked, âCan the Eternal Dao Fruit really allow someone to comprehend Eternal Dao?â
Lin Jiangxian shook her head, and said, âIâm afraid not. But I believe that it will be of help.â
âI share the same view as you,â Lin Yun raised his head to look at Lin Jiangxian. If he didnât grasp Nirvana Dao, he wouldnât know how tough it was to grasp an Eternal Dao. He might possess an Eternal Dao, but the process wasnât simple. It took him many years to come this far.
âDoesnât that mean that itâs not as useful as imagined?â Ji Zixi looked disappointed since it was something Lin Yun worked hard to obtain.
Lin Jiangxian said, âItâs hard to refine a Sovereign Dao, not to mention an Eternal Dao. But Iâm afraid that an Eternal Dao Fruit can save a hundred years of time, and the value is immeasurable. I canât value it with my eyesight, but Iâm afraid that even Emperors will fight over it.â
âThatâs an underestimation. This thing can be considered as the treasure of a sect in the outside world,â Xiong Tiannan said. âIt might not allow people to directly grasp Eternal Dao, but if itâs someone whoâs one step away from grasping one like Chief Linâ¦â
Lin Yun and Ji Zixi curiously turned to look at Lin Jiangxian. Ji Zixi briefly pondered, then smiled, âI recall it now! Big Sister Lin had the shadows of the Five Elements Dao in your sword earlier.â
Lin Yun asked, âIf you have the Eternal Dao Fruit, what are your odds of grasping the Five Elements Dao?â
âWhat?â Xiong Tiannan was dumbfounded. What does Lin Yun mean by that? Is he going to give away an Eternal Dao Fruit? What the hell is going on?
Xiong Tiannan didnât know what to say when he looked at Lin Yun. This was something that he could never do, which was looking at the bigger picture.
Lin Jiangtian was briefly stunned, but then she replied, âAbout 50-60%. Even if I canât comprehend it entirely, it can save me ten years of time.â
âTake one, then,â Lin Yun smiled.
Even if she was prepared, Lin Jiangxian couldnât help being stumped with bewilderment on her face.
Xiong Tiannan coughed to attract everyoneâs gaze, and he awkwardly said, âBrother Lin, I also have some attainment in an Eternal Dao.â
âOh? What Eternal Dao is it?â Lin Yun smiled.
With no change on his face, Xiong Tiannan said, âHave you heard of this saying before, Space is sovereign, and time is king.â
âYou grasped the Space and Time Daos?â Lin Yun was alarmed.
Xiong mysteriously Tiannan smiled, âNot that. Everything is nothing before nirvana!â
Lin Yun couldnât help smiling, including Ji Zixi. But Ji Zixi said nothing and continued to watch Xiong Tiannan pretend.
Xiong Tiannan sighed, âI wanted to interact with you guys as an ordinary person, but I canât help it now. Iâm the heir of nirvana, and Iâm trying to find the secrets of nirvana by digging tombs around. I have some comprehension over the years, and Iâm only half a step away from grasping nirvana.â
His voice sounded sincere, like a man with a story. Lin Yun mightâve believed him if he didnât grasp Nirvana Dao as well.
âI have waited so long just for an opportunity, Brother Lin⦠Why donât you give me a fair chance to compete with Chief Lin?â Xiong Tiannan asked sincerely.
Lin Yun didnât reply to that question, but smiled, âDo you remember the stone I pointed out to you before the Sovereign Monument?â
âOf course⦠That was really magical. It feels like a dream thinking of it againâ¦â Xiong Tiannan smiled.
âSince youâre being honest, I wonât lie. That rock isnât blessed, but I left behind the aura of Nirvana Dao on it,â Lin Yun smiled.
âThisâ¦â Xiong Tiannan opened his mouth and looked at Lin Yun with disbelief. He couldnât believe what he said earlier since it was too awkward. He laughed, âHahaha! Iâm just joking. Donât treat it seriously! Iâll refine the Sovereign Dao Fruit!â
Looking at Xiong Tiannan as he quickly keft, Ji Zixi smiled, âHeâs really interesting. I was just wondering how long he would carry on boastingâ¦â
On the other hand, Lin Jiangxian muttered, âItâs no wonder why there wasnât any trace in that last sword⦠and no wonder you dare to fight a divine disciple.â
Lin Yun smiled, âEven without Nirvana Dao, Iâm not afraid of him. But the foundation of a divine disciple is too terrifying, and I might not have any advantage even if I reached the sixth-stage Saint Lord.â
After reaching the sixth-stage Saint Lord, Lin Yun could gain some advantage by relying on the two sword sutras and wouldnât be as powerless as before in the fight with Wang Jue, not to mention that Lin Yun had even grasped Nirvana Dao. It was a pity that a deity protected Wang Jue, or he wouldâve killed him.
âAfter undergoing the tribulation, the saint energy will undergo a transformation, and it will be empowered with the might of heavenly dao,â Lin Jiangxian explained. âItâs impressive that you can fight him while at the sixth-stage Saint Lord.â
âI seeâ¦â Lin Yun finally understood.
Lin Jiangxian smiled bitterly because Lin Yun didnât know what that meant.
Lin Yun continued, âHave you considered the Eternal Dao Fruit?â
Lin Jiangxian was stunned, before she raised her brow, âAre you serious? You only have two Eternal Dao Fruits. What about Lady Zixi if you gave it to me?â
Ji Zixi smiled, âBig Sister Lin, you donât have to worry about me. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for giving me the golden fortune when I didnât ask for it.â
She was born on Divine Phoenix Mountain and had seen countless treasures since she was young. So, she would naturally consider the bigger picture, not to mention that this was Lin Yunâs decision.
âFurthermore, I have a way to comprehend an Eternal Dao. Even Big Brother Lin doesnât know this secret, and I want to surprise him,â Ji Zixi smiled. Her innocence soon infected Lin Jiangxian into wearing a smile.
Lin Jiangxian finally decided to take the Eternal Dao Fruit, and sent a serious look at Lin Yun, âIn the future, I will help you no matter what help you need from me.â
Lin Yun smiled, âThatâs a bargain for me. Weâre swordsmen, so we donât have to be so polite. We both have a heart as a swordsman, so we just have to keep pressing on.â
Lin Jiangxian smiled, âI will pay you a visit to the Kunlun Realm if thereâs an opportunity in the future.â
She left to find a place to refine the Eternal Dao Fruit.
âSheâs going to find youâ¦â Ji Zixi smiled, repeating what Lin Jiangxian said. She was happy to see Lin Jiangxian revering Lin Yun.
âYouâre asking for a beating,â Lin Yun smiled, wanting to pat Ji Zixiâs head.
âHehe, you canât hit me. Iâll go refine the Golden Dao Fruits as well,â Ji Zixi laughed as she ran off, wearing a bright and innocent smile.
When the night arrived, Lin Yun took out a golden Dao Fruit. His expression became grave. He had learned his lesson today, and he had to increase his strength, whether it was helping Ji Zixi ascend the mountain or his honor as a swordsman.
