Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 219: Chapter 218: The Mystery of the Dao Fruit_1

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang was startled. While experiencing the [Buyi Town Rule], he had heard Daoist Buyu talk about the subject of [Rules].

In the early stages of Unification, one begins to control the rules. During the Pass Tribulation stage, one masters a broader range of rules. Immortals, through the power of the Dao Fruit, control the rules of the entire world.

However, he had never imagined that the Dao Fruit could even create the [Reincarnation] rule.

If an immortal truly created the Reincarnation rule, would the immortal also be able to create other rules?

How much of what seems commonplace now did not exist in ancient times and was later created?

Why did the Ancient Nameless One refine the stars into continents? What was the goal? Was it the manifestation of a certain rule, or was it to create a particular rule?

Lu Yang looked up at the bright sun in the sky. In his previous life, the sun being the moon was impossible.

The sun, seen by people as the source of life and power, could also be the manifestation of a certain rule.

Lu Yang threw all these questions at Fairy Eternity. Evidently unable to handle such complex, unresolvable questions, she was left dizzy.

“In any case, from what I’ve seen and heard since my resurrection, there is not much difference from the ancient times. At most, the stars being refined into continents, and the sun, could be considered some changes.”

“Since you asked about the Dao Fruit, I’ll take this opportunity to explain it.”

“However, for you, the Immortal Dao Fruit is too far off. Knowing too much now would not be beneficial for your future cultivation. I can only tell you a bit. If it were Yun Zhi, that little girl, I could tell her a lot about the Dao Fruit… Oh, it seems like she doesn’t need me to provide this kind of information.”

Fairy Eternity raised two fingers and began explaining to Lu Yang about the Dao Fruit: “The Dao Fruit can be divided into two types based on the different rules they control.”

“The first kind is the Time Dao Fruit of the Time Immortal, which controls the rule of time. The rule of time objectively exists and is inherent. The role of the Time Dao Fruit is to master this existing rule and alter it according to one’s intentions. As for how much it can be changed, only the Time Immortal knows.”

“The second kind is my Eternity Dao Fruit, which controls the rule of immortality. The rule of immortality is a rule I created. Before this, it never existed. The rule of immortality only affects me… no, that’s not right… Sha Meless is also one. So the rule of immortality affects both Sha Meless and me, but it doesn’t impact him as much as me.”

“Sha Meless’s Eternity Dao Fruit naissance only allows him to appear on any statue, it’s the shallowest manifestation of the immortality rule, mainly for escaping. If he dies, he can’t resurrect.”

“But I am different.” When speaking of herself, Fairy Eternity grinned in great confidence.

“As long as my name is pronounced, regardless of the time, location, or language form, I can resurrect! This ability is something even the four of them, including Ying Tian Immortal, are envious of!”

“Unfortunately, they don’t have enough ability to coalesce an Eternity Dao Fruit.” Fairy Eternity was proud of herself. As the self-proclaimed leader of the Five Immortals of the Ancients, she naturally had her reasons.

Lu Yang suspected that Fairy Eternity had an epiphany at the brink of death after eating the food she cooked, and realised the true meaning of immortality, thereby forming the Eternity Dao Fruit. However, after forming the Dao Fruit, she automatically erased her unpleasant memories.

“There’s also Ying Tian Immortal, whose Dao Fruit created a new rule, namely the [Tribulation] rule.”

“The Tribulation rule?”

“The most common manifestation is the Pass Thunder Tribulation. You see, from forming the Nascent Soul to Spirit Transformation, from Spirit Transformation to Refining the Void, all require the Pass Thunder Tribulation. This is a situation that only exists for you now. In ancient times, cultivators did not need to Pass Thunder Tribulation.”

“Ying Tian Immortal felt that people’s cultivation was just blindly pursuing power and cultivation speed, overlooking the mood/mindset, losing the original meaning of cultivation. So he formed [Tribulation] Dao Fruit to add a trial to cultivators.”

“As it turns out, Ying Tian Immortal’s decision was correct. With the emergence of Thunder Tribulation, cultivators have begun to value their state of mind, striving to deal with Thunder Tribulation, preventing random occurrences of cultivation madness.”

“The Tribulation Dao Fruit is a typical case of pushing the rule towards the whole world, adding an additional rule to all.”

“So, you understand now, right? If I die and someone becomes immortal, and coalesces a [Reincarnation] Dao Fruit, it’s just like my situation, and that of Ying Tian Immortal’s, creating a rule out of thin air.”

“I just don’t know whether this [Reincarnation Rule] affects only specific individuals or everyone.”

Fairy Eternity further explained: “If it affects specific individuals, generally speaking, the holder of the nascent Reincarnation Dao Fruit can continuously reincarnate and achieve an alternate form of eternal life.”

“If it affects everyone, it means everyone has a past life. You, Meng Jingzhou, Man Gu, Tao Yaoye, and others are no exception. However, I think this possibility is small.”

“Why?” Lu Yang asked.

“Think about it, if everyone is reincarnating, doesn’t that mean the total number of souls in the world is fixed?”

Lu Yang nodded.

“Then have you ever thought about how souls appeared in ancient times, that is, when there was no reincarnation rule?”

Lu Yang was taken aback; he had never thought about this issue before.

Fairy Eternity continued: “In ancient times, a fetus gestating in the womb would automatically draw in the essence of heaven and earth. This essence, formless, massless, sensationless and undetectable, would gather together and form a soul.”

“The birth of souls has always been a mystery. After the five of us became immortals, we divined together and discovered a previously unknown substance in the world called essence. This essence is the source of the soul.”

“The creation of the soul can be considered a rule, which we will tentatively call the soul rule.”

“If the reincarnation rule affected everyone, then it would inevitably conflict with the soul rule. The conflict between the created rule and the original rule is unavoidable, which is a taboo when coalescing a Dao Fruit.”

“Unless the Immortal controlling the Reincarnation Dao Fruit is stupid, this wouldn’t happen.”

Hearing Fairy Eternity’s explanation, Lu Yang raised a question: “Fairy, can your Eternity rule cover everyone?”

If the Eternity rule could cover everyone, it would mean that everyone would be immortal.

This was a great temptation that people could not resist.

Fairy Eternity denied Lu Yang’s idea: “At the time when I had just coalesced the Eternity Dao Fruit, I had this idea. I thought that everyone was struggling to improve their realm, scrambling for resources, and that we all just wanted to become immortal and live forever. Isn’t that right?”

“If I let everyone live forever, wouldn’t the world be peaceful then?”

“When I shared this idea with Ying Tian Immortal and the others, their reaction was strong, they jointly prevented me from moving forward with it, telling me I couldn’t think like that.”
