Chapter 525: The Dao fruits of Jiuchong Immortal and Kylin Immortal

"Junior Brother Lu, there's a thank-you letter for you." Ten days later, a senior brother on duty at the mission hall handed a letter to Lu Yang, who was in the middle of absorbing spiritual power for cultivation.

Lu Yang opened it and found it was from Song Yuanwai.

The letter mainly expressed gratitude to Lu Yang for his help in resolving the maid issue, which allowed the Song family business to get back on track.

It also mentioned his daughter and Zhou Lang. Song Yuanwai revealed that after some investigation, Zhou Lang turned out to be his biological son, while his daughter, Song Lian'er, was actually the daughter of the housekeeper.

As for what exactly happened back then to cause such a mix-up, Song Yuanwai didn't elaborate in the letter. Lu Yang guessed it was probably a mix-up by the midwife during childbirth.

Lu Yang quietly put the letter away. The Song family's relationships were so tangled that it gave him a headache just thinking about it.

"This is nothing. Back in ancient times, during the era of tribes and clans, relationships were even more complicated than this."

"Which tribe did you belong to, Immortal Fairy?" Lu Yang asked casually, not expecting the long silence that followed from the Immortal Fairy.

"...A small tribe, not worth mentioning. It was wiped out when I was still a child, during a battle between a man and a beast that affected our tribe," the Immortal Fairy muttered softly, her usual liveliness gone.

Lu Yang fell silent too, unsure of what to say. Saying the wrong thing might make it worse.

Before the era of the five ancient immortals, it was not a pleasant time. Small tribes being crushed was a common occurrence.

"Junior Brother, come here for a moment."

Luckily, the eldest senior sister's voice transmission broke the silence.

"Eldest Senior Sister, what's the matter?"

Lu Yang found the eldest senior sister. She rarely had anything to ask of him. Could it be that their master had been caught again and needed someone to bail him out?

Or maybe their master was imprisoned again and needed a visit, but the eldest senior sister was too embarrassed to go herself and wanted him to go?

Or perhaps their master had finally been captured by his enemies and was on the brink of death, needing rescue?

"Wait for the others to arrive."

After a short while, the others mentioned by the eldest senior sister arrived one after another at Tianmen Peak: Meng Jingzhou, Tao Yaoye, Man Gu, and Li Haoran.

"Greetings, Eldest Senior Sister."

The four of them greeted the eldest senior sister respectfully.

"Here's the situation: there's a tradition of exchanging disciples among the five major immortal sects. This time, Seek Tao Sect disciples can go to The Five Elements Sect to study. There are five spots, and you five will be going."

Originally, Seek Tao Sect disciples could go to The Moon Laurel Immortal Palace, but Palace Master Luo was adamant about not letting Lu Yang go there, so the eldest senior sister had to change it to The Five Elements Sect.

"Going to The Five Elements Sect?" Lu Yang and the others couldn't help but smile at the good news, their eyes gleaming with joy.

They had never been to other immortal sects before.

Meng Jingzhou was also very happy, not expecting to return to The Five Elements Sect so soon.

Qiu Jin'an had used Meng Jingzhou's body to deliver a Single Dog Curse Fist to Grandpa Ba and promised to teach Meng Jingzhou a Five Elements spell. Four months ago, Meng Jingzhou had gone to The Five Elements Sect to learn a powerful Five Elements spell from Qiu Jin'an, but he hadn't had the chance to use it on Lu Yang yet.

"So, who's coming to our sect to study this time?"

"Shi Chan from The Floating Temple."

Lu Yang had heard of Shi Chan. It was said he was still working in the slaughterhouse, but how well he was doing was anyone's guess.

"Prepare yourselves; you leave in two days."

"Who's the elder leading us?" Lu Yang asked. Normally, someone should lead the group. They couldn't just send five juniors to The Five Elements Sect; that wouldn't be proper.

"The Great Elder hasn't returned since he disguised himself as our master and went out. The Second Elder volunteered to go to The Five Elements Sect, but they didn't agree."

"Due to some old issues, the remaining elders are worried about being attacked if they go alone, so they don't dare to go."

"So, you won't have an elder leading you this time."

Lu Yang: "..."

Why did it feel like going to The Five Elements Sect was going to be dangerous?

Would they go in standing and come out lying down?

"No worries, I've been to The Five Elements Sect. I'll lead you," Meng Jingzhou immediately stepped up to take responsibility when he saw the opportunity to be the leader.

Lu Yang gave Meng Jingzhou a sidelong glance, suspecting this guy wanted to use the chance to mess with him. "Are you reliable?"

"More reliable than you."

"Alright then."

Lu Yang didn't argue with Meng Jingzhou. After all, there was no one else to lead them.

"The Five Elements Sect's philosophy has its merits. You can learn a lot from them," the eldest senior sister advised the five of them.

The five responded in unison.

"The Five Elements, huh? That reminds me, Jiuchong Immortal's Dao fruit has something to do with the Five Elements."

"What kind of Dao fruit does Jiuchong Immortal have?"

"The Yin-Yang Dao fruit, representing extremes in the world: extreme heat and cold, speed and stillness, strength and weakness, and so on. It's very complex to use, not something that can be explained in a few words."

"And what about Kylin Immortal's Dao fruit?"

"The Survival of the Fittest Dao fruit. You can simply understand it as any move used on Kylin Immortal can't be used a second time. For example, if you use Heaven and Earth in the Palm to slam him to the ground or suck him into your palm, his Dao fruit will quickly adapt to that move, and it won't harm him the next time you use it."

"Once, Jiuchong Immortal used the world's hottest flames to roast Kylin Immortal. Kylin Immortal screamed in pain, but the next time, he could dance and bathe in the fire."

"So, did Kylin Immortal win?"

"No, Jiuchong Immortal recorded Kylin Immortal's bathing in the fire and used it to blackmail him into surrendering."

Lu Yang: "..."

Why did the way you immortals win battles seem so different from what I imagined?

"Doesn't Kylin Immortal have any issues eating your cooking?"

Doesn't this mean that once Kylin Immortal gets poisoned by the Immortal Fairy's cooking, he'd be immune?

The Immortal Fairy was puzzled by the question. "What do you mean by issues? Are you saying he'd get tired of my cooking? Impossible. As an immortal chef, I strive for innovation. Every dish I make is unique!"

Lu Yang thought that Kylin Immortal would probably be happier if the Immortal Fairy didn't innovate.

"One more thing. I remember the prodigies of the Dragon and Phoenix clans lost to Kylin Immortal while competing for the position of becoming an immortal. Is there a fixed number of immortals?" This was a question that had always puzzled Lu Yang. Was it necessary to compete to become an immortal? What were those ancient people fighting for?

"Not exactly. It's just that the embryonic forms of their Dao fruits conflicted with Kylin Immortal's."

"Conflicted?"

"The embryonic forms of their Dao fruits were called the Survival of the Fittest and the Law of the Jungle. These embryonic forms represented rules very similar to Kylin Immortal's, right?"

"Just like there can only be one Immortal Dao fruit. As long as this Immortal exists, no other embryonic form of the Immortal Dao fruit can become a true Dao fruit."

"Only one Dao fruit with similar rules can exist."

"The three of them were destined for only one to become an immortal. The other two could at best become half-immortals, infinitely close to being immortals."
