The chasm between immortals and mortals is like a vast gulf, not something that can be crossed by mere will. The Immortal, who has not yet reached the realm of true immortality, is in the Tribulation stage.

Although he lacks a physical body and only possesses a soul, he can’t be considered a complete Tribulation stage cultivator. However, he has mastered the nascent form of the Immortal Dao Fruit, which compensates for his lack of combat power.

If a cultivator in the Tribulation stage encounters an Immortal in the spiritual realm, they would be at a disadvantage. But the Immortal has met a genuine Immortal Maiden.

The nascent Dao Fruit can’t exert any power in front of the true Dao Fruit.

After being lectured, the Immortal realized that he is not a true immortal, but a product imitating the Immortal Maiden.

“As for how the Dao Fruit came into being, senior, what are your thoughts?” Yun Zhi asked the Immortal Maiden.

The Immortal Maiden had been pondering this question. She took out the golden light: “My initial judgment was not wrong. This can barely be called an Immortal Dao Fruit, but it is far from mature and is only in its nascent form.”

“The appearance of the Dao Fruit should be the same principle as this kid’s appearance, both relying on will.”

Lu Yang was curious: “Can a Dao Fruit be created by will? Wouldn’t that make becoming an immortal very easy?”

The Immortal Maiden shook her head, correcting Lu Yang’s misunderstanding: “Not the Dao Fruit, but the nascent Dao Fruit. Not to mention that this Dao Fruit is the result of over ten thousand years of accumulation by the Immortal Sect, just the creation of the nascent Dao Fruit by will has great limitations.”

The Dao Fruit is the symbol of becoming an immortal, an ultimate product that can change the world’s rules. Its specific concept has far exceeded Lu Yang’s understanding. This is not something he can grasp now.

“The nascent Dao Fruit and the Dao Fruit are worlds apart. I can create as many nascent Immortal Dao Fruits as I want, but there will always be only one Immortal Dao Fruit, which is mine.”

As she said this, the Immortal Maiden showed a confident smile. She believed that her Immortal Dao Fruit was the strongest, superior to the Dao Fruits of the Heavenly Immortals.

As for the nascent Dao Fruit, she considered it to be insignificant. “But the nascent Dao Fruit has the potential to replace the Dao Fruit.”

Yun Zhi’s words poured cold water on the Immortal Maiden. The Immortal Maiden understood Yun Zhi’s meaning and instantly calmed down. “What’s going on?” Lu Yang asked.

Only the Immortal Maiden and Yun Zhi understood the matter of the Dao Fruit. Lu Yang and the Immortal were completely ignorant.

The Immortal couldn’t even distinguish between the Dao Fruit and the nascent Dao Fruit. If it weren’t for the explanation now, he wouldn’t even know how his nascent Dao Fruit came about.

Yun Zhi explained: “The nascent Dao Fruit is a rough embryo, quite crude, and even its internal structure is unstable. If the nascent Dao Fruit gradually matures, it will become more and more like the Dao Fruit.”

“And there can only be one of the same kind of Dao Fruit. If the nascent Dao Fruit wants to fully mature, it must discard the already mature Dao Fruit and replace it.”

Lu Yang was surprised: “So, the Immortal Maiden’s Dao Fruit could be replaced by the nascent Immortal Dao Fruit?”

Lu Yang was worried for the Immortal Maiden. Although the Immortal Maiden was not particularly reliable and couldn’t help much, she always caused trouble for him. But Lu Yang still hoped that she could always have the Dao Fruit and would not be replaced by others.

Yun Zhi shook her head, her expression solemn: “The senior holds the highest power of the ‘Immortal’ lineage. No one can compete with her in terms of ‘Immortality’. Even a nascent Dao Fruit that is infinitely close to maturity cannot.”

“The nascent Dao Fruit can only replace the Dao Fruit in one situation – the Dao Fruit is ownerless, and the nascent Dao Fruit has an owner. Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s good, the Immortal Maiden is still alive, no one can replace her.”

“But she was not supposed to be alive.”

Upon hearing Yun Zhi’s words, Lu Yang felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

That’s right, if it weren’t for him accidentally calling out the true name of the Immortal Maiden, she probably wouldn’t have been able to resurrect until the end of the Great War.

Perhaps, as Yun Zhi said, without him, it would take another three hundred thousand years for someone to accidentally call out the true name of the Immortal Maiden.

No, if the Immortal Maiden did not resurrect and the Immortal could mature the nascent Immortal Dao Fruit, replacing the original Immortal Dao Fruit.

By the time of the Great War, the Immortal leading the Immortal Sect would emerge, spreading his name. By then, who would dare to casually call out the four words “Immortal Maiden” in a joking manner?

By then, the Immortal Maiden would probably never be able to resurrect, truly dead. The Immortal Maiden also thought of this and was terrified.

Yun Zhi briefly sorted out her thoughts: “In ancient times, the senior was ambushed and killed, and the Immortal Dao Fruit lost its owner and became ownerless.

“The person behind the scenes publicized the concept of the Immortal Dao Fruit, fabricated the non-existent Immortal, and let the believers of the Immortal Sect believe, visualize, and resurrect the Immortal. The Immortal himself was unaware of this and would desperately try to ripen the nascent Dao Fruit.”

“When the time is right, the person behind the scenes will take action, pick the Immortal Dao Fruit, and claim it as his own.”

“The only uncertainty now is whether the person behind the scenes wants to pick the Immortal Dao Fruit when it is mature, or when it is about to mature, or… has he already arrived?”

As she said this, Yun Zhi’s voice was as cold as ten thousand years of ice, and the killing intent contained within made Lu Yang shiver.

Yun Zhi and the Immortal Maiden simultaneously released their divine senses, scanning every inch of the surrounding space, trying to find the person behind the scenes.Suddenly, in the corner of the secret chamber, space trembled, and a pitch-black figure slowly walked out. He clapped rhythmically, praising Yun Zhi’s extraordinary talent.

Lu Yang stared at the black figure. The person was clearly there, but when he swept his divine sense over, there was nothing.

Lu Yang felt that the man was like a bottomless black hole, with immense ambition, capable of devouring everything, making people shudder.

Yun Zhi and the Immortal Maiden stood in front of Lu Yang, alert to the newcomer.

“Indeed, you are the strongest among the five major immortal gates. For me, there are a few threats in the Central Continent, and you are the biggest one.” I originally came here to observe whether the Immortal Dao Fruit has truly formed, but I didn’t expect to gain so much just by observing for a few days.”

The black figure looked at the Immortal Maiden. Although his face was unclear, Lu Yang felt that he was smiling. “Unexpectedly, Immortal Maiden, you have resurrected. The biggest variable, beyond my expectation.

“Since you have resurrected, the plan to replace the Dao Fruit with the Immortal Dao Fruit is also void. It’s a pity that the Immortal Sect’s preparation for fourteen thousand years has been in vain.” The black figure shook his head regretfully, not knowing whether he was lamenting for the Immortal Sect or his own scheme.

“Ying Tian, Kylin, Time, Nine Layers, who are you! Stop skulking and show your true face!” The Immortal Maiden shouted sternly. This person wanted to erase her existence completely, it was a matter of life and death, irreconcilable!

There must be a conclusion between her and the shadow!

The shadow shook his head and laughed: “Was there really only five immortals in your era? Was the Nine Layer Immortal really the first immortal?”

“Maiden, there are too many uncertainties, how can you be sure that I am one of them?” “Stop playing tricks!” The Immortal Maiden gritted her teeth.

Yun Zhi didn’t say much, she directly used her full strength and decisively made her move.

The shadow’s expression became serious: “Indeed, your strength is far more than what you show to the outside world. Even if my true body appears, it would probably be difficult to defeat you.”

“After the ancient times, there are people like you, it’s truly the creation of heaven and earth.” Knowing he was no match, the shadow decisively self-destructed.

“It’s a pity that my true body can’t know what’s happening here.”

Some people die, but they are not completely dead…
