Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

Chapter 86 Dao Fruit!

As he spoke, feeling disheartened by these words, and seeing the stunned Wang Lin, Elder Hun quickly offered a few words of comfort, "Young Lin, don't be too discouraged. The Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is impressive, but it's only the first hurdle in cultivation."

"There's still a long time ahead. Just because he's fast in one step doesn't mean he can stay fast in every step. With my help, you might just surpass him!"

Upon hearing what Elder Hun said, Wang Lin, who had been completely distraught, relaxed considerably.

The heavy sense of oppression in his heart gradually eased a bit.

yes----

It's just the foundation building of the Heavenly Dao.

This is ultimately just the first step in the cultivation process.

No matter how amazing it is, it's just the beginning of cultivating immortality!

Thinking of this, Wang Lin's breathing gradually calmed down.

With Elder Hun's help, he might not be unable to catch up with this person!

It's even possible that it can surpass it!

With this thought in mind, a glimmer of light rekindled in Wang Lin's eyes. He was determined to cultivate even harder and completely surpass this person!

While pondering this, Wang Lin couldn't help but ask, "Elder Hun, do you know who this person is?"

His eyes flickered slightly.

He was still very curious about this prodigy who could establish his foundation in the Heavenly Dao.

Upon hearing this, Elder Hun was slightly taken aback, then slowly shook his head.

"I am no longer what I used to be, and I am now just a wisp of a soul, so I can only perceive so much."

His tone carried a hint of undisguised melancholy.

He paused slightly at this point, then continued, "However, those who can undertake the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment must be extraordinary talents."

"Perhaps one of those thirteen people on the Eighty-Nine Peaks!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Lin's expression slightly hardened.

Those thirteen people are indeed the most talented group among the eighty-nine peaks. If we're talking about who can achieve the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, they are definitely the most likely candidates compared to the others!

The old man's voice continued, "If you really want to know who it is, there is a way. You can try to find out from those guys. With my eyesight, I might be able to figure something out."

Upon hearing this, Wang Lin seemed to be deep in thought.

Just as he was deep in thought.

The atmosphere atop the eighty-nine peaks was extremely solemn.

Gu Jia and the other thirteen people were all shocked.

They are still studying the breathing technique. This person not only surpasses a million miscellaneous disciples and ranks first, but has now actually reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

It might even be the Foundation Establishment stage of the Heavenly Dao?!

This news struck them like a thunderbolt, leaving them shaken and disoriented.

Who exactly is this person?

In an instant, Gu Jia, Lin Bufan, and the others looked up at the same time, their gazes slowly sweeping across the crowd, a hint of probing and wariness in their eyes.

At the same time, the news spread like wildfire, quickly sweeping across all the major mountain peaks.

Those geniuses who were originally ranked in the top ten or even the top hundred among the menial disciples all had drastic changes in expression.

Their past resentment, discontent, and even hidden jealousy have all collapsed at this moment.

They had been wondering what was so special about this person who had overshadowed their million servant disciples, and why he was ranked first above them.

At this moment, looking at the information displayed on the Xuan Tian Mirror ranking list, they couldn't help but reveal helplessness and despair in their eyes.

Is this really a human?

How can you compare to this guy?

It's not just them.

On the peaks of miscellaneous tasks, the servants and stewards who were usually responsible for handling miscellaneous tasks and were used to seeing storms were also alarmed.

"The top-ranked disciple among the menial servants, having reached the Foundation Establishment stage of the Heavenly Dao?"

"absurd!"

"How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator possibly emerge from among the menial disciples?!"

"Could it be that the Xuan Tian Mirror is malfunctioning?"

"Impossible! How could the Xuan Tian Mirror malfunction!"

"That----"

One of the deacons muttered to himself, "This is the Foundation Establishment stage of the Heavenly Dao; even true disciples might not be able to achieve it!"

Many people in the Haoran Immortal Sect noticed that a person at the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment stage had appeared among the miscellaneous disciples.

Shocked discussions and unbelievable remarks spread from all directions.

Soon, countless people rushed towards the Eighty-Nine Peaks, wanting to see who this prodigy who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage of the Heavenly Dao was, and also to try to win him over.

While others were discussing and rushing towards the Eighty-Nine Peaks.

The morning sun shone on the mountain path, casting dappled shadows. Su Chen, with Da Huang in tow, headed towards the Scripture Pavilion.

A gentle mountain breeze blew, and many disciples hurried past in the distance.

Su Chen remained calm and ignored these people.

Soon, his figure appeared outside the Sutra Repository.

As you push open the door, the familiar, faint scent of sandalwood, along with the aroma of paper and ink accumulated over many years in ancient scrolls, hits you.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting dappled shadows between the rows of wooden bookshelves.

Inside the library, many servants and disciples were browsing through the scriptures.

Hearing the noise, everyone subconsciously looked up, but most ignored him, with only a small number whispering among themselves.

Su Chen ignored them and walked straight past the bookshelves, searching for information related to Golden Core and Dao Fruit.

After an incense stick has burned.

He held in his hand a gray book titled "Chronicles of True Lord Huoyun".

The light condensed on it and remained there for a long time.

The book is a diary of miscellaneous matters of a Golden Core True Monarch named Huoyun. The book is mostly filled with interesting anecdotes about cultivation, but it also contains some content about Foundation Establishment, Dao Fruit, and Golden Core.

The text clearly describes the difference between Foundation Establishment cultivators and Golden Core True Monarchs.

If there is still a slight possibility for someone in the Qi Refining Realm to overcome a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, then for someone in the Foundation Establishment Realm to face a Golden Core Realm cultivator is an insurmountable chasm, as different as heaven and earth, beyond measure!

The reason for this difference is —

Su Chen carefully read the contents.

"When one comprehends the Dao to its limit, one can attain divine power, which can then be developed into supernatural abilities. Each supernatural ability corresponds to a specific path, a specific fruit, and the rules and authority of heaven and earth."

"Only by comprehending the rudimentary form of a certain Dao Fruit can one advance to the Golden Core True Monarch level."

"Furthermore, each Dao Fruit is unique. If there is a Dao Lord who controls the entire Dao Fruit, then those below will have no hope of advancement and will live in despair for the rest of their lives, unless that Dao Lord perishes, otherwise—"

Upon seeing this, Su Chen frowned.

"Therefore, it is necessary to carefully choose the path of cultivation and the initial form of the Dao fruit?"

"Otherwise, if you're not careful, you might never be able to improve your cultivation level again?"

He couldn't help but think of the four Daoist techniques: Flower Blooming in an Instant, Heavenly Tribulation Thunder, Burning Tribulation Yin Fire, and Soul-Separating Wind.

He wasn't familiar with the other Daoist techniques, but these four—the Flower Blooming in an Instant Corresponds to the Dao Fruit of Life, the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning to the Dao Fruit of Thunder, the Burning Tribulation Yin Fire to the Dao Fruit of Fire, and the Soul-Separating Wind to the Dao Fruit of Wind—

"So, I can choose from any of these paths?"

Furthermore, Su Chen learned from this book of Fire Cloud True Monarch's Chronicles that every path and nascent Dao fruit has its strengths and weaknesses.

The stronger the path and the more nascent the Dao fruit, the harder it is to comprehend, and there will likely be many obstacles to its comprehension.

The weaker the path or the more nascent the fruit of the Dao, the easier it is to comprehend.

However, it is very likely that a Dao Lord who controls the entire Dao Fruit already exists on this path and the rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit.

In addition, the strength of the initial stages of the Dao path and Dao fruit also affects the quality of the Golden Elixir.

Golden Elixir is divided into three grades: lower, middle, and upper, which are further subdivided into nine grades down to the first grade.

Su Chen seemed to be deep in thought, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

"Which path should I choose to advance from a nascent Dao fruit to a Golden Core True Monarch?"

The rudiments of the paths and fruits of life, thunder, fire, and wind should possess a certain strength, especially life and thunder.

However, are there really no Dao Lords controlling these relatively strong nascent Dao paths and Dao fruits?

Su Chen hesitated.

Furthermore, the rudiments of the paths and fruits of life, thunder, fire, and wind might be good for others, but they were somewhat lacking for him.

He was somewhat reluctant to embark on these rather ordinary paths.

Having experienced the information explosion in his previous life, he could naturally guess what the prototypes of stronger paths and Dao fruits were.

A thought struck Su Chen: "Perhaps I could try selecting these nascent paths and Dao fruits?"

"Or even using composite Dao Fruit prototypes to form higher-level Dao Fruit prototypes?"

"For example, the five paths and rudimentary forms of Dao fruit—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—are quite ordinary on their own, but when all five are combined, they form the rudimentary form of the Five Elements Dao fruit!"

"If we go a step further and reverse the process to achieve unity, then that would be the prototype of the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit?!"

"Besides, the rudiments of the Dao Fruits of birth, death, cause and effect, and the soul might even form the rudiments of the Dao Fruit of reincarnation?!"

"And there are also the prototypes of the Thunder, Fire, and Wind Dao Fruits, forming the prototype of the Heavenly Tribulation Dao Fruit?"

In an instant, all sorts of ideas popped into his mind. Su Chen could think of a lot, each one more outrageous than the last.

These prototypes of Dao Fruits are not only ridiculously powerful, but choosing these prototypes might also help avoid the existence of Dao Lords who control the entire Dao Fruit.

Furthermore, while this might be an incredible thing for most people, it might not be so for him!

Su Chen's gaze fell on the comprehension level displayed on the panel.

[Innate Talent & Comprehension: 11725 (Sage and Worthy, Unparalleled Throughout History)]

"With my sage-like understanding, I might actually be able to do this!"

Su Chen murmured confidently to himself.

After thinking all this through, his gaze returned to the book "Chronicles of True Lord Fire Cloud".

A hint of doubt flickered in his eyes. "What do you mean there will be many obstacles?"

Even when one is comprehending the rudiments of the Dao fruit, will there be obstacles?

How to stop it?

A series of guesses popped into his mind.

Unfortunately, the Chronicles of True Lord Huoyun do not describe this point in much detail.

He'll have to try it to find out the specifics.

He quickly finished reading the entire Chronicles of True Lord Huoyun, feeling he had gained a lot and remembered True Lord Huoyun.

"I don't know if this True Lord Fire Cloud is alive or dead—"

Su Chen couldn't help but think of it.

After thinking it over, he put the book "Chronicles of True Lord Huoyun" back on the bookshelf.

He strode towards the outside of the Sutra Repository, preparing to return and try to comprehend the Daoist techniques such as the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning, to see what changes would occur.

To be honest, he hadn't seriously studied the Daoist arts for a long time since he perfected them.

"Perhaps we can reap quite a harvest this time?"

"Not to mention the transformation into supernatural powers, who knows how much his comprehension will increase—"

Anticipation appeared in Su Chen's eyes.
