Chapter 3931: Competing to Understand the Fruit of the Dao

The closer they got to the mountain peak, the clearer their minds felt, and their comprehension instantly improved.

Two sweet-looking young women, both late-stage True Immortals, flew over from a distance.

“The Enlightenment Fruit! Our opportunity has arrived.”

A full-figured young woman in a purple dress said excitedly.

“The Enlightenment Fruit is mine. Get out of here, all of you!”

A rough male shout rang out.

No sooner had the words fallen than a black light flew from afar and landed at the foot of the mountain.

The light of the escape technique retracted, revealing a burly man in black, with a thick beard covering his face, bulging muscles, and a powerful aura of malice emanating from him.

Judging by the emblem on his clothes, he was clearly a cultivator from the Beast Spirit Sect.

Liu Xiong, a Grand Completion True Immortal.

“Fellow Daoist, the Enlightenment Fruit has appeared. Surely those who see it get a share!”

The young woman in the purple dress said, steeling herself.

With the Enlightenment Fruit right before her eyes, she was truly unwilling to give up.

“Those who see it get a share? We’ll see if you even get to see it.”

Liu Xiong sneered, and with a flick of his sleeve, a yellow light shot out, revealing a giant yellow bear covered in yellow fur, with golden eyes.

The moment the giant yellow bear appeared, it let out a heaven-shaking roar and unleashed a yellow sound wave, which shot directly towards the two young women.

The two young women turned pale with fright. Just as they were about to dodge, they found their bodies as heavy as mountains, as a powerful gravitational force emanated from the ground, firmly pinning them in place.

The young woman in the purple dress summoned a long purple saber, but the moment it left her body, it fell to the ground.

The yellow sound wave swept past their protective spiritual light, causing it to dim and become faint and flickering.

The giant yellow bear suddenly appeared before them. They each summoned three purple flying daggers and two green longswords, striking the giant yellow bear, and the sound of metal clashing rang out.

The giant yellow bear moved its fists, smashing them towards the women.

With two muffled thuds, their protective spiritual light shattered, and their heads were crushed. The moment their two miniature Nascent Souls left their bodies, the giant yellow bear's eyes each shot out a yellow light, accurately striking both miniature Nascent Souls.

After two agonizing screams, both Nascent Souls disintegrated into ashes.

“Overestimating yourselves!”

Liu Xiong sneered, took the valuables from the two women's corpses, burned their bodies, and then looked towards the three men halfway up the mountain, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He performed a hand seal, and a black light burst from his body, merging with the giant yellow bear. The giant yellow bear's aura surged, and it strode towards the mountain.

“Oh no, a Beast Spirit Sect cultivator!”

The three men turned pale with fright. They wanted to move up the mountain, but the gravity restriction was too strong. They found it difficult to take even a single step, and their faces turned beet red.

Before long, the giant yellow bear caught up to them, swung its claws, and smacked them towards their heads.

After a series of horrifying screams, the heads of the three men were crushed by the giant yellow bear. The giant yellow bear took the valuables from their bodies and strode up the mountain.

Wang Qingshan and his four companions flew over from a distance, their expressions grave.

“A gravity restriction!”

Wang Qingshan frowned. They had cultivated into True Spirits, greatly enhancing their physical bodies, so they could ascend the mountain. But Wang Yidao could not. Leaving him here would easily lead to trouble.

“Yidao, enter the Azure Lotus Gourd for now!”

Wang Qingshan transmitted his voice, taking out a gourd shimmering with azure light, its surface inscribed with an azure lotus pattern.

“No need. You can just carry me up.”

Wang Yidao summoned a golden-glowing long saber. His body rapidly withered and merged into the golden long saber.

Wang Yingjie grasped the golden long saber and strode up the mountain.

Wang Qingshan and his three companions followed closely. They were all top-tier True Spirits, with exceptionally strong physical bodies.

They quickly reached halfway up the mountain. By this time, the giant yellow bear had already reached the mountain peak, and its speed had slowed down.

“Humanoid True Spirits! What sect are you from?”

The giant yellow bear spoke human words. Liu Xiong had to merge with his destined spirit beast to overcome the gravity restriction, yet Wang Qingshan and his three companions ascended the mountain directly and with great ease. Only True Spirits could accomplish this.

Wang Qingshan did not answer, but increased his speed.

The Daoist sounds reverberated, and they felt their thoughts become incredibly clear. Many things they couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.

Before long, they caught up to the giant yellow bear. A bright yellow light burst from the giant yellow bear's body, and its claws swiped towards Wang Qingshan.

Wang Qingxiao's hands transformed into white dragon claws, and he met the attack.

With two muffled thuds, several long bloody gashes appeared on the giant yellow bear's claws.

Wang Qingshan, Wang Yingjie, and Wang Qingling lightly pointed their fingers. Three black lights shot out, striking the giant yellow bear one after another.

An excruciating male scream rang out!

“Soul...”

Before the giant yellow bear could finish its sentence, Wang Qingxiao sprayed a white light, striking the giant yellow bear. The giant yellow bear's body instantly froze, turning into a huge ice sculpture.

Wang Qingshan summoned the Golden Qilin Sword, and with a single strike, he cut the ice sculpture in half. Large chunks of blood splattered out. With a flash of spiritual light, Liu Xiong appeared, his expression tense.

“A mid-grade immortal artifact!”

Liu Xiong exclaimed. Before he could unleash any other divine abilities, a five-colored giant fist slammed into him, striking him accurately.

Liu Xiong stumbled back three steps, his face beet red, his legs trembling. With his destined spirit beast slain, his physical body simply could not withstand it.

Before he could stabilize himself, the Golden Qilin Sword flew towards him.

“No!”

Liu Xiong cried out.

The Golden Qilin Sword sliced Liu Xiong in half, blood spilling onto the ground. The moment his miniature Nascent Soul left his body, it instantly self-destructed, attempting to harm Wang Qingshan and his three companions.

A massive black light shot into the sky, engulfing half of the mountain peak.

Before long, the black light dissipated. Wang Qingshan and his three companions, clad in Chaos Armor, were completely unharmed.

They strode towards the mountain peak, moving quickly.

Drawn by the sounds of the Great Dao, a large number of Chaos Beasts rushed towards them.

Before long, Wang Qingshan and his three companions arrived at the manor on the mountain peak, and they immediately felt the pressure lessen.

With a flash of golden light, the golden long saber in Wang Yingjie's hand glowed with dazzling golden light, transforming into Wang Yidao and a golden long saber.

They could see the Enlightenment Fruit tree on the giant beast skeleton, and a burly man standing beneath it, his face filled with enchantment, seemingly lost in some state.

The sounds of the Great Dao reverberated in their ears, and expressions of enchantment appeared on their faces, their gazes fixated, as if they had entered a state of cultivation.

Wang Qingshan felt the surroundings blur before his eyes. He found himself in a school, where an elder of the clan was giving a lecture.

“An illusion?”

Wang Qingshan was slightly startled. He shook his head; it shouldn't be an illusion.

“Qingshan, what cultivation method do you wish to practice?”

The clan elder asked.

“Sword cultivation methods, to protect the family.”

Wang Qingshan said without hesitation. He then thought of something and added, “As long as I am here, Azure Lotus Mountain will always be our Wang family's Azure Lotus Mountain. Anyone who wishes to oppose our family will have to ask if the flying sword in my hand agrees.”

If one day I become a Dao Ancestor, I will surely cut down all enemies.
