The concept of a born saint begins with Strange Tales from Liaozhai.

Amidst the ethereal mountain peaks, clouds surge and shimmer with spiritual light.

Almost simultaneously, subtle auras stirred slightly.

Tianyan Peak.

Above the peak, the sea of ​​clouds surges like a tide.

An elderly man stands with his hands behind his back.

He was dressed in a black Taoist robe, which was loose and simple, with faint, flowing patterns on it, like the movement of star orbits or the evolution of hexagrams. As it undulated gently in the wind, it seemed to be in harmony with the energy of heaven and earth.

Lu Sheng, the master of Tianyan Peak, had slightly gray eyes that were deep and unfathomable. As his gaze shifted, tiny specks of light appeared, like stars rising and falling, or like countless secrets of heaven intertwined and unfolding within them.

His hair and beard were all white, his face was thin and gaunt, and his expression carried a sense of having long observed the world and looked down upon the vastness of the land, with a lofty and distant air.

It's as if, with just a glance, one can see through the past and the future, and grasp all changes in the palm of one's hand.

At that moment, he seemed to sense something, and his gaze shifted slightly.

"That kid left?"

"Some kind of spatial supernatural power?"

His gaze slowly drifted into the distance.

Looking at the wooden house that once belonged to Su Chen but was now empty, a faint interest appeared in the old man's eyes.

"That's interesting..."

"As expected of a minor anomaly with the potential to become the chosen one..."

As a Golden Core True Lord, his power is immense. He can live for thousands of years and watch the world turn into mulberry fields with ease. If he so desires, he can turn thousands of miles of land into scorched earth with a thought, and countless lives will perish.

Furthermore, the nascent form of the Heavenly Mystery Dao Fruit, which forms the foundation for advancing to the Golden Core stage, possesses additional, inconceivable abilities, far exceeding the imagination of mortals, Qi Refining cultivators, and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

It can be said that all those below the Golden Elixir are mere ants!

Even those Foundation Establishment cultivators, who are considered to be at the highest level of Foundation Establishment, are nothing more than that in his eyes, and he can eliminate them with a thought.

Of course, great strength also means difficulty in breaking through. Without great opportunities, great enlightenment, and great talent, it is very difficult for ordinary people to suddenly reach the realm of Dao Lord.

Therefore, he would naturally not let any possible opportunity slip by and would choose to explore it.

Who knows, it might just be useful to me?

This unremarkable disciple, who had suddenly risen to prominence, naturally caught his attention.

It's just not right that an ordinary, unremarkable servant could suddenly defeat a little genius named Gu Jia.

As a Golden Core True Lord who advanced from the initial form of the Heavenly Secret Dao Fruit to the Golden Core, he was naturally more able to sense that something was wrong.

In his view, this handyman disciple named Su Chen had deviated from his original destiny and was showing signs of being an anomaly.

The golden age has arrived, but it also signifies the coming of a great calamity, with all sorts of geniuses emerging in droves.

Reincarnated immortals, those who received the inheritance of immortals, and geniuses with physical constitutions such as Dao bodies and holy bodies have all appeared.

The strongest among them, the one with the most magnanimous and powerful spirit, became the center of an era, the most dazzling person, also known as the Chosen One.

In his view, the disciple in front of him was showing signs of being extraordinary.

Although there is still a big gap between him and the legendary true chosen one, there is still a chance that he will become that chosen one after he grows up.

Even more likely, it will become the subject of other atmospheric debates...

He was both curious and covetous of this disciple who had changed his fate and showed signs of extraordinary talent, wanting to know why the other party had undergone such a change.

Therefore, during this period, he had been secretly observing this disciple.

It's likely that he wasn't the only one watching this disciple; there were probably other beings lurking in the shadows.

After all, there are plenty of smart people out there, and he's not the only one.

In fact, after observing him, he suspected that the servant disciple in front of him might be the disciple on the Xuan Tian Mirror list who was capable of undergoing the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.

At this moment, he noticed that the disciple had suddenly used some kind of spatial magic, which made him quite surprised.

Comprehending supernatural powers means that the other party is not far from condensing the rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit and advancing to the Golden Core True Monarch!

However, achieving the Golden Core True Monarch status is not so easy; this kid still has a long way to go!

Lu Sheng, the master of Tianyan Peak, thought to himself calmly.

The mere fact that the Dao Fruit sequence in the void, the condensation of the Dao Fruit's prototype, is enough to hold back countless humans and celestial beings.

Lu Sheng, the master of Tianyan Peak, shook his head with a sigh and fell into deep thought.

He wondered if he should send more people to test the boy when he returned, to investigate his secrets and how much he was hiding.

At the same time, it wasn't just him.

Within the Haoran Immortal Sect, on the other mountain peaks, Golden Core True Monarchs also experienced subtle mental shifts.

It was as if a pebble had fallen into the calm lake, creating ripples that were both subtle and clear.

On a mountain peak belonging to a core disciple.

The mountain is steep and filled with a dense, misty spiritual energy. Layer upon layer of palaces are built against the mountain, with white jade paving the ground and spiritual trees forming forests. Occasionally, spiritual birds fly through the air, leaving long trails of light.

A figure stood still on the platform at the summit.

He was a young man in white.

He wore a snow-white robe, perfectly tailored, with flowing sleeves that were subtly embroidered with cloud patterns and the family crest in silver thread, occasionally reflecting a faint, cool light in the sunlight.

He was tall and slender, with straight shoulders and back, a noble and aloof demeanor, and a handsome face with features so exquisite they were almost flawless.

His eyes were long and narrow, with a cold color, as if covered with a layer of frost.

At this moment, looking at the area for the servant disciples, his eyes revealed undisguised coldness and contempt.

In his eyes, everyone in this area was nothing but dust.

However, there was one speck of dust among them that dared to offend him?

"Humph."

"They run very fast."

His gaze fell on the now empty wooden house, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, a murderous intent that vanished in an instant.

"I, the True Lord, would like to see how long you can hide..."

These tiny ants dare to offend the Gu family and him; they truly have no sense of mortality!

……

Flower Peak.

Unlike other mountain peaks, this peak is blessed with a gentle and serene atmosphere, and is like spring all year round.

The mountains and fields are covered with blooming exotic flowers and plants.

Red like fire, white like snow, purple deep and mysterious, gold dazzling.

Chapter 155 The Daoist Lord and the Dao Fruit

The sea of ​​flowers unfolds layer upon layer, and when the wind blows, countless waves of flowers rise up, filling the air with fragrance that almost solidifies, leaving one feeling slightly intoxicated.

Deep within a sea of ​​flowers, an exquisite pavilion is half-hidden and half-revealed.

Under the eaves, a middle-aged woman stood leaning against the railing.

She wore a light gauze dress in a soft yet elegant color. The dress clung to her figure gently in the breeze, perfectly outlining her voluptuous and graceful curves.

Her appearance was extremely beautiful, exuding a mature and alluring charm.

Her eyebrows and eyes smiled, with the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, seemingly possessing a natural allure. Her eyes were bright and moist, as if they could shimmer at any moment. Her skin was fair and delicate, with a faint glow, as if it had been nourished by the fragrance of flowers for many years.

Her lips were a vibrant red, and with just a slight purse, they seemed to exude a myriad of charms.

She leaned there, one hand gently supporting her chin, the other fingertips toying with a spirit flower she had picked at some unknown time, her expression languid and carefree.

"How interesting..."

She chuckled softly.

The voice was soft, with a hint of languidness at the end, gently wafting through the sea of ​​flowers.

With a gentle flick of the fingertips, the spirit flower shattered silently, turning into specks of light that dissipated into the air.

Her gaze seemed to be casually drifting into the distance.

"Young man, don't die too soon..."

Her lips curled up slightly, and her smile became even more pronounced.

"Otherwise, I won't have any fun to watch..."

She didn't care much about this Foundation Establishment disciple, even if it was a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment disciple, she didn't take it to heart.

After all, potential is potential, whether it can actually be realized is another matter.

As the saying goes, all those below the Golden Core stage are mere ants; he's just a Foundation Establishment disciple!

What interests her is that it's been a long time since she's had any entertainment, and she just hopes that this little disciple can live a little longer.

And that's not all.

At this moment, deeper within the Haoran Immortal Sect.

A faint, almost imperceptible breath rippled gently.

These auras were mysterious, ancient, and silent, as if they had existed since long ago.

"...Building the foundation of Heavenly Dao..."

An almost inaudible thought, echoing in the void, slowly drifted from some unknowable place.

"Its potential is still acceptable..."

"Perhaps... we can find an opportunity..."

"Guide this child...to attain the fruition derived from my own path..."

The sounds came in fits and starts.

Those who establish the foundation of the Heavenly Dao have a certain possibility of attaining the Dao as a 'Dao Lord'.

The fruits of enlightenment are divided into three levels based on future potential and the upper limit of strength.

The first level is the path to enlightenment through emptiness.

The most transcendent and highest potential among them, with extremely demanding conditions, is a Dao fruit that almost no one can achieve.

Without relying on existing laws of heaven and earth, but with a unique understanding and perception of those laws, one can condense a unique prototype of the Dao Fruit and become a Golden Elixir True Lord.

Next, one needs to achieve something extremely difficult on the basis of the Golden Core's limit before one can prove the Dao and become a Dao Lord!

The process is extremely difficult. Even without any external interference, the chances of an ordinary cultivator successfully attaining enlightenment are extremely slim, which can be described as defying the heavens!

However, once successful, such Dao fruits possess immeasurable potential and power, and can even generate third-level derivative Dao fruits!

The second level consists of the Dao Fruits that originally existed in heaven and earth.

The Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and so on.

This kind of Dao fruit is second only to the Void Realm. Mastering this kind of Dao fruit is equivalent to mastering the complete rules of Heaven and Earth, a true authority!

The third level consists of derivative Dao fruits, which are the most numerous.

It is derived from the powerful Dao fruits of the first and second levels.

For example, a complete Five Elements Dao Fruit can give rise to five derivative Dao Fruits: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

Those who attain this kind of enlightenment are completely controlled by the one who attained the main enlightenment.

If the master who attains the Dao fruit falls, all the derivative Dao fruit masters who depend on it will also fall.

In their view, this disciple who has established a foundation in the Heavenly Dao has the potential to become a Dao Lord.

Perhaps we can plan ahead and acquire this piece, then use it as a chess piece in our strategy to prepare for a golden opportunity.

Once they attain the derived fruits of their path, life and death will no longer be determined by them!

However, in their view, this was also a good thing for this child.
