"Dao Fruit?" Shuyu Dragon Lord’s expression was suddenly enlightened, "Is this what you’re after?"
Zheng Fa laughed: "Dragon Lord, I have my own selfish reasons too."
"What selfish reasons are these." Shuyu Dragon Lord chuckled helplessly, "You’ve indeed reached a point where you should consider the Dao Fruit."
Giving the "Yellow Court Scripture" to the Dragon Lord was primarily because Zheng Fa needed a true Dao Fruit to guide his next steps.
Such a candidate is hard to find.
Among the Dao Fruits he could trust within Xuanwei, there were actually very few.
One was the Nine Nether Emperor, another was the Shuyu Dragon Lord, and Zheng Fa’s choice was... to have them all.
The Nine Nether Emperor seldom paid him any heed, often appearing and disappearing mysteriously, seemingly very occupied, and couldn’t guide at all tis.
Yet the Shuyu Dragon Lord had been idle for hundreds of thousands of years.
As for the "Yellow Court Scripture"... to put it bluntly, if you don’t let soone see the cultivation technique, on what basis would they guide you?
Even having a tutor requires an initial assessnt.
"Dragon Lord also knows, our Jiushan Sect might have so hidden cards now, but in terms of cultivation, we’re still sowhat lacking." Zheng Fa said frankly, "The sooner I attain the Dao Fruit, the sooner I can feel at ease."
"I know this, didn’t you previously disdain even Golden Immortals?" Shuyu Dragon Lord laughed, "I don’t know how I truly believed it at the ti."
"Now the Dragon Lord doesn’t believe?"
Shuyu Dragon Lord lowered her head, looking at the "Yellow Court Scripture" in her hand, shaking her head helplessly: "I believe even more."
"Dragon Lord, you are now also the Supre Elder of our sect, you are entitled to know so thoughts."
"What?"
"Our Jiushan Sect would not place its hope on a single person."
Shuyu Dragon Lord’s expression slightly froze, then looked at Zheng Fa with a thoughtful gaze.
"Given the current situation in Xuanwei, of course, I hope to greatly advance in cultivation to protect Jiushan," Zheng Fa spoke bluntly, "but people’s encounters and aptitudes differ, no one can say for sure, I won’t place all bets on one person, even if that person is ."
"Are you saying..."
Zheng Fa nodded and said:
"Both Sister Zhang and I might advance to the Dao Fruit."
"And Dragon Lord, should your cultivation improve, you will also bring shelter to our Jiushan Sect."
"Then there’s the Thick Earth Magnetic Array, the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation..."
"These are the recent hopes of our Jiushan Sect, yes, I, Dragon Lord, and Sister Zhang are different."
"But in the face of external enemies, there is no distinction between you and ."
Shuyu Dragon Lord slowly nodded, beginning to understand what Zheng Fa ant.
"So Dragon Lord, I only hope you beco stronger."
"I understand." Shuyu Dragon Lord gently exhaled, making up her mind, "I will impart all the Ancestor Dragon’s legacy to you, using ’Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Transformation’, you might be able to leverage this thod to achieve Independent Immortal status."
Zheng Fa was montarily stunned, exchanged glances with Master Pang and others before smiling: "Dragon Lord probably misunderstood."
"Misunderstood?"
"Our Jiushan Sect does not lack Dao Fruit cultivation techniques."
Shuyu Dragon Lord seed even more puzzled.
"Indeed, we possess the ’Great Freedom True Skill’ by the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor, the ’Ten Thousand Demon True Solution’, at least we know how to cultivate to Independent Immortal status."
"Great Freedom Demon Ancestor." Shuyu Dragon Lord looked understanding yet said, "But the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor’s cultivation is far inferior to Ancestor Dragon, his cultivation technique, how does it compare to my Ancestor Dragon legacy."
"Indeed." Zheng Fa thought for a mont, then said, "We also have other Dao Fruit cultivation techniques."
"Other?"
Zheng Fa then took out three jade cylinders, and handed them over to Shuyu Dragon Lord.
Shuyu Dragon Lord received them, glanced through them briefly, and couldn’t maintain her expression at once: "This is Haori Mountain’s... Basic Great thod?"
"Dragon Lord indeed has vast knowledge."
"I haven’t seen Haori Mountain’s cultivation techniques, but I have heard of them."
Dragon Lord’s expression suddenly seed sowhat relieved, as if a certain knot was untied.
Seeing her like this, Zheng Fa was initially puzzled, then suddenly realized her thoughts:
This Dragon Lord, in submitting to Jiushan Sect and preparing to offer the Ancestor Dragon’s legacy, likely had so burdens about being an unfilial descendant.
But upon seeing these three Basic Great thods from Haori Mountain, in comparison, she found confidence again — could any legacy be more unfilial than Haori Mountain’s being completely taken over?
"But, you have so many Dao Fruit cultivation techniques already, what can I do?"
Zheng Fa also understood Shuyu Dragon Lord’s puzzlent.
Indeed, the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor’s legacy is not comparable to Ancestor Dragon’s.
But Haori Mountain is vastly different.
Though Haori Mountain’s circumstance is peculiar, Lu Yao is by no ans ordinary, compared to him, Ancestor Dragon doesn’t asure up.
"I still want to reference the Ancestor Dragon’s cultivation techniques." Zheng Fa pointed to the three jade cylinders before Shuyu Dragon Lord, then continued, "These three cultivation techniques, including the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor’s legacy, I will all reference."
"But, what I want to know is the principle."
"The principle?" Shuyu Dragon Lord was even more puzzled.
"What is an Independent Immortal? How does one attest to Independent Immortal status? Why must it be attested this way?"
"..."
Shuyu Dragon Lord opened and closed her mouth, seeming confused, then appeared to fall into contemplation over these three questions.
Zheng Fa waited quietly.
Regarding cultivation techniques, they genuinely do not lack — apart from the few Basic Great thods ntioned, he also received Tianhe Venerable’s legacy.
Following standard cultivation practices is not unfeasible.
But Zheng Fa, as well as the mbers of Jiushan Sect, did not wish to stop there; they wanted to refine the "Yellow Court Scripture," elevating it to the Dao Fruit level.
Therefore, Zheng Fa’s previous three questions are the crux.
Even these matters cannot be answered within the few cultivation techniques, only a true Dao Fruit like the Shuyu Dragon Lord can explain them clearly.
Shuyu Dragon Lord pondered for a long ti, shaking her head, revealing a self-mocking expression: "To be honest with Sect Leader, although I attained Independent Immortal status long ago, these three questions have not been deeply considered."
"Does Dragon Lord have any answers?"
"I don’t know if what I say can answer these three questions actually if I were still an Independent Immortal, I might not be able to answer any of them."
