Just a Useful Pawn in the Stain Sect

Chapter 909 -904: Comprehending the Fruit Arcana!

“Beast Taming Peak Master!?”

Lü Yang froze for a moment, then it dawned on him. “No wonder. Even World Purger Fei Xue was no match for me, so how could some random person who popped out of nowhere go toe-to-toe with me?

“So it was the one who established the Netherworld.

“That explains it. That completely explains it…”

Next, he turned his attention to the item left behind by the First Generation Demon Taming Peak Master. [Primordial Sea of Light]. This name sounded incredibly intimidating.

However, pressed for time, Lü Yang didn’t dare to delay. He quickly skimmed past the handwriting and refocused his attention on the page, which looked like a hybrid between a book and a painting. Overlapping lines intertwined into countless circles, and these circles, in turn, intertwined with one another, ultimately outlining an even more massive circle.

It was an extremely abstract pattern.

Yet, as Lü Yang observed it deeply, he gradually discovered that the lines seemed to come alive, transforming into the countless imageries he had mastered.

“This is…”

Lü Yang was stunned. His gaze locked onto one of the circles in the pattern, for if he substituted the lines forming it with the imageries he had mastered…

Then he was extremely familiar with the way those lines wove together to form this circle!

“Is it the [Fruit of Pine-Cedar Wood]?”

No, it wasn’t a complete Fruit Position. It only had a prototype, a framework—just like the Fruit Position Prototype of the [Fruit of Pine-Cedar Wood]!

In an instant, Lü Yang understood.

“My god… Is this kind of thing something a human can create? Just how high was the Cultivation of that First Generation Demon Taming Peak Master?”

Comprehending the Great Dao was a profoundly mysterious matter.

When most Cultivators were in a state of comprehending a Fruit Position, they knew what it was but not why it was so, relying mostly on an obscure, intuitive feeling.

Take True Monarch Chengtian Zhengde, for example.

Higher up were those like World Purger Fei Xue, who had their own unique understanding of the Great Dao. They dissected its essence and ultimately turned it into their own resources.

As for the very apex, Lü Yang had previously believed it was Ang Xiao. At his Realm, the Five Elements Fruit Position held no secrets from him; he knew both the ‘what’ and the ‘why.’ For him, there was never any nonsense about it being ‘only felt and not explained in words.’ He could even bring forth new ideas to achieve the Void Attainment Position.

But now, Lü Yang witnessed a new apex.

“The Five Elements Fruit Position? The First Generation Demon Taming Peak Master has already surpassed that level. [Primordial Sea of Light]… He is simulating a newly born Void Sea of Light!”

Lü Yang marveled in his heart.

He marveled not only at the First Generation Demon Taming Peak Master’s ambition but also at the fact that he succeeded! At least to his eyes, the [Primordial Sea of Light] was remarkably perfect.

“All imageries are in a state of unformed chaos.

“The Five Elements Fruit Positions I know of all have prototypes, but none have formally taken shape. The different Fruit Positions even blend together without clear boundaries…”

“…Huh?”

Lü Yang shuddered and suddenly realized, “Different Fruit Positions blending together? Isn’t this the exact proportioning between Fruit Positions that I was pursuing earlier?”

At the very moment he realized this, the picture in Lü Yang’s eyes changed again. The originally rigid, motionless image seemed to come alive all at once. The lines actually began to flow, and the circles formed by their intersection were no longer stagnant. Instead, they merged and divided, constantly intersecting with other circles before separating again.

This left Lü Yang feeling a bit overwhelmed by the unexpected success.

To be honest, his blood ran cold when the Profound Robed Man told him that the reward from Emperor Ying required comprehension. After all, his Talent Skill was very unique.

Without Tingyou by his side, his Talent Skill was rather difficult to utilize.

Yet now, relying entirely on himself, he had comprehended the profound mysteries of the [Primordial Sea of Light] in less than fifteen minutes, and even made the picture move.

“Oh man… Is my Enlightenment just too good?

“Even I’m afraid of myself!”

Feeling somewhat satisfied, Lü Yang immersed himself even more earnestly in the evolving patterns of the [Primordial Sea of Light]. He made no attempt to capture the shifts of the entire Sea of Light.

“The best method, of course, is to comprehend the entire [Primordial Sea of Light].

“Barring any accidents, that’s the only way to completely master it… But it’s too difficult. For me, attempting that would be biting off more than I can chew.

“There’s no need for that.”

Although his ego had just inflated a little, he was actually quite self-aware. Therefore, he completely ignored the overarching shifts in the macro-pattern.

His gaze remained tightly locked onto the circular pattern he had just noticed, which resembled the prototype of the [Fruit of Pine-Cedar Wood]. He simply watched it flow amidst countless lines, converging with and separating from circles formed by different lines, distinguishing them one by one… Finally, he saw the scene he had been searching for.

“There it is!

“It’s the [Fruit of River-Sand Gold] and the [Fruit of Spring Water]! At this moment, the prototype pattern of the [Fruit of Pine-Cedar Wood] has intersected with the prototype patterns of these two Fruit Positions!”

Lü Yang immediately threw himself into it wholeheartedly.

This was his method of comprehension. It was the same old principle: shoot the arrow first and then paint the bullseye. Biting off more than one could chew was unwise; as long as he could comprehend this specific part, it would be more than enough!

Meanwhile, in reality.

On the seat of Emperor Ying, Lü Yang’s true body suddenly erupted with densely packed streams of light. These fine, bright streams flowed like river water.

“What is this…?”

In the next second, Progenitor Tingyou and Demon-Vanquishing Perfected appeared together. They had been acting as Protectors for Lü Yang, so they naturally noticed this anomaly right away. However, Demon-Vanquishing Perfected soon revealed a look of joy. “It’s the profound mysteries of the Fruit Position… Are they combining? Did Lü Yang comprehend something?”

“It seems so…”

Progenitor Tingyou narrowed his eyes. From his perspective, the flowing lights surrounding Lü Yang grew increasingly distinct, ultimately revealing their true form—they were rows upon rows of Talismans.

These Talismans combined with one another, subsequently generating imageries.

Next, the imageries merged together to form three streams of radiance. These three streams of radiance connected end-to-end, transforming into a halo of light.

Yet this was not the end. The halo slowly began to rotate around its center point, like a machine starting up after a switch was finally pressed. In a short while, the halo morphed into a glowing orb resembling a fruit. The moment it appeared, before it even made a move, the surrounding void had already collapsed!

Almost simultaneously, Lü Yang opened his eyes.

His consciousness plummeted from the boundless heights of comprehending the [Primordial Sea of Light]. He stood up abruptly; amidst a dizzying rush, he had already returned to the real world.

“Haha! I did it!”

At this moment, Lü Yang’s heart was filled with unbridled joy.

Earlier, during Combat with the Profound Robed Man, he had increased his power by combining the [Fruit of Pine-Cedar Wood], [Fruit of River-Sand Gold], and [Fruit of Spring Water].

However, the combination back then was too hasty. It had felt perfect at the time, but looking back now, there were actually many minor flaws. But after comprehending the [Primordial Sea of Light] and genuinely witnessing the phenomenon of the three blending together, he had successfully fused the three profound mysteries completely!

The result was this fruit-shaped glowing orb in his hand.

“This is—Fruit Arcana!”

An epiphany arose in Lü Yang’s mind. To put it bluntly, this was a combination skill of Fruit Position profound mysteries. It was also the key that allowed the Great Perfected Lord of the Pocket World Technique to stay ahead of other Dao Lineages.

Different Fruit Positions merged together to form a Dao Fruit.

“The so-called Fruit Arcana will produce different results depending on the targeted objective and direction, even if the exact same Fruit Positions are used.

“Take me, for example.

“The Fruit Arcana I combined using the [Fruit of Pine-Cedar Wood], [Fruit of River-Sand Gold], and [Fruit of Spring Water] is fundamentally centered around the profound mysteries of the [Fruit of Pine-Cedar Wood].”

“Therefore, this Dao Fruit should be called the [Reversed Ke Chengyue Dao Fruit]. Through it, I can vastly strengthen the adaptable profound mysteries of the [Fruit of Pine-Cedar Wood]. However, if I swap to another profound mystery and center it around the [Fruit of River-Sand Gold] instead, it will spawn a completely new Fruit Arcana.

“This is the method of the Great Perfected Lord of the Pocket World Technique.

“By combining at least three Fruit Positions and adjusting their primary and secondary proportions, one can unleash different Fruit Arcanas… In fact, there was already a prelude to this.”

Seeking Dao Immortal Technique!

The hidden requirement for a True Monarch of Cave Heaven Technique to break through to the Middle Stage of Golden Core—using three True Treasures to form a Seeking Dao Immortal Technique—was actually the prototype of the Fruit Arcana!

“From the Early Stage of Golden Core to the Middle Stage, one masters the Seeking Dao Immortal Technique.

“From the Middle Stage of Golden Core to the Late Stage, one masters the Fruit Arcana.

“The Cultivation process progresses layer by layer with a clear-cut system. I have to admit, the technical complexity of the Pocket World Technique is leaps and bounds higher than that of Mana, Magic, and Dharma Bodies!”

Thinking of this, Lü Yang suddenly froze.

“Now that I think about it, if I have Perfected Lords of the [Fruit of River-Sand Gold] and [Fruit of Spring Water] affiliating with me right now, wouldn’t I be able to become the Great Perfected Lord of the [Fruit of Pine-Cedar Wood]?”
