Chapter 150 Dao Fruit Broken

"Why is it immortal?"

Taoist Ruoque was stunned for a moment. He had thought about this question many times before, but when Chu Tai asked it suddenly, he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, Chu Tai asked back, "Do you think that being invisible and subduing dragons and tigers is immortal? Or that being immortal and having a long-lasting beauty is immortal? Do you think that being able to go up to the sky and down to the earth and calling the wind and rain is immortal? Or that being fearless of death and saving people is immortal? Do you think that being beyond all principles is immortal? Or that being indifferent to birth, aging, suffering and happiness is immortal? Or, do you think that being detached from oneself and free and unrestrained is immortal, or that being detached from one's ability and free and unrestrained is immortal?"

"The way of immortality is to value immortality. To treat all things equally, right and wrong equally, big and small equally, life and death equally, noble and humble equally..."

Taoist Ruoque looked at Chu Tai and suddenly had some enlightenment in his mind. Then he suddenly felt that his previous pursuit of Taoist fruits and immortality was a bit ridiculous.

Taoist Ruoque, who understood this, felt something in a trance. Red lotus fire burned from the top of his head downwards. The green lotus clothes on his body solidified and turned into fairy clothes draped over his body, and his white lotus body turned into ice-like skin and bones.

In a trance, Taoist Ruoque felt an illusory Taoist fruit falling from the void.

Suddenly, a ray of heavenly light rose from nothingness.

In an instant, wisps of clear air gushed out from nowhere and surrounded Taoist Ruoque, quickly filling his magic power like the mist of immortal energy.

"Ten years, twenty years, thirty years... one Jiazi... two Jiazi... "

Chu Tai watched Ruo Que's magic power continue to increase, watched the blue lotus light gradually emerge above his head, and the elusive Taoist fruit. The light of the sun and the moon flashed in his eyes, and he continued to analyze the concepts contained therein.

In a trance, he could see some shadows of another great heaven through the illusory Tao fruit.

But whether it is Fangzhu Qiankun representing the treasure mirror, Dongyu Tiandi representing the goddess, or Qingqing World inside the mackerel, they obviously do not want to have too much connection with Datian anymore.

The illusory Taoist fruit was split into pieces by three rays of light at the moment it was about to take shape, leaving only a small remnant that fell into the hands of Taoist Ruoque.

Correspondingly, if the Taoist priest lacks the three decades of cultivation that he could have obtained, he will only have less than half a decade left.

Taoist Ruo Que, who was looking at the remains of the illusory Dao Fruit, did not care and even gave up the mana he had gained. He handed the object to Chu Tai and said, "It just so happens that there is a lack of Dao Fruit in this Heaven-Repairing Stone. I wonder if this object can be used to fill the gap?"

"Fellow Daoist, are you willing to give it up? Although this item is incomplete, it is also the fruit of the immortal karma."

Chu Tai was really shocked this time. Before, Taoist Ruo Que was still worried about his Dao Fruit, but now he could put down his Dao Fruit so easily.

The most important thing is that his magic power was previously accepted by Taoist Ruoque, but now he has given it up, which naturally caused him great damage to his vitality. Wrinkles gradually appeared on his originally childlike face, and he looked much older.

Taoist Ruo Que smiled and said, "I cultivate my own way. I became an immortal because of me, not others. What is the immortal career? What is the fruit of the Tao? Is this true or not? If you must say who is true and who is false, wait 30 years and then we can debate again."

Chu Tai heard this and smiled, "What if I really come back in thirty years?"

"Then wait another thirty years."

After saying that, Taoist Ruoque added: "If you come again, then we will meet again in thirty years, thirty after thirty. If you fail to keep the appointment on any day, then you are a fake immortal."

Looking at Taoist Ruoque, Chu Tai smiled and suddenly had some other understanding of [Flying Immortal].

"The so-called flying fairy, is it that one can fly into the sky and hide in the ground, or is it that the mind is unrestrained?"

This thought flashed through Chu Tai's mind, but there was no change on his face. He put the remains of Taoist Ruo Que's Taoist fruit into the Bu Tian Stone.

Looking at the colorful Bu Tian Stone, Taoist Ruo Que smiled and said that he wanted to leave the palace. Chu Tai had no intention of forcing him to stay. At this moment, Taoist Ruo Que had already embarked on another path. Everything he did, thought and chose came from his heart.

Therefore, Chu Tai just wished the other party a safe journey and personally sent him away.

After walking out of the palace, Taoist Ruoque immediately found the head of the Shangqing Sect and the head of the Lingbao Sect and told them what had happened inside.

"Fellow Daoist, you mean that you almost became an immortal? Then what is your current status? Half-immortal?"

Facing the questions from the head of the Shangqing Sect, Ruoque also understood the other party's excitement, just like his previous concern for Daoguo.

But his answer was just a smile, and he said casually: "Maybe I can only be sure of this question if you ask me again in thirty years."

The Lingbao Sect's headmaster was a little worried and asked, "Fellow Daoist, you entrusted your Dao Fruit to that fellow Daoist Taining. Is that really okay?"

"Although my vitality is damaged, my life is not in danger. If I practice well, I can live another sixty years. It's just that I can't help much with the follow-up matters. I need you two to help Fellow Daoist Taining."

After saying that, he took Yun Wei to Butian Cliff, intending to ask Zhang Tianshi for the heritage of Longhu Mountain.

After Taoist Ruoque left, the leaders of the Shangqing Sect and the Lingbao Sect could not help but discuss whether Taoist Ruoque had become an immortal before entering the palace.

Both of them are people who inherited the foundation left by their ancestors. They have sensed and come into contact with information about Tao Fruit, but they really cannot judge the status of Taoist Ruoque.

"If you say there is, then of course there is. The aura of Dao Fruit is entwined with Daoist Fellow Ruoque, but if you say there is not, it seems to be no problem either."

The head of the Shangqing Sect smiled bitterly and looked at the head of the Lingbao Sect next to him. This fellow Daoist shook his head helplessly and said, "It's useless for you to ask me. Although my lineage knows the traces of Dao Fruit better than you, if I don't know your status, the information left by the ancestors of the past generations cannot be compared."

Hearing this, the head of the Shangqing sect straightened his clothes.

"In that case, let's go ask the other participant in this matter."

After saying that, the leader of the Shangqing Sect took the lead and walked into the palace.

A few days later, Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain also hurried to the palace, where he was received by Yitai, the current senior disciple of Lingbao Sect, and led into the palace.

Before entering, Zhang Tianshi felt that the atmosphere of the capital was a bit strange.

The lives of ordinary people seemed very normal, but the official residences were more or less tainted with blood.

Zhang Tianshi, who was somewhat worried, asked about what had happened recently at the ceremony platform.

"Originally, after Si Zheng died, Senior Taining only planned to kill the main culprit, stabilize the situation, control the royal family, and implement some policies that benefit the country and the people, and no longer care about worldly affairs. But there are always some people who think that Senior is afraid of human fate and dare not interfere too much, so they found an opportunity to test Senior."

"I see."

Zhang Tianshi understood the reason and didn't ask any more questions.

And when he entered the palace, he saw two broken pieces of Dao Fruit floating on a man-high Sky-Repairing Stone.
