Chapter 1098: Chapter 478: Tao Fruit of the Seven Emotions (Part 2)

Wei Immortal and Ning Qi looked at each other, both seeing a hint of speculation in each other’s eyes.

Ning Qi had a vague idea, sensing that the figure might possess earth-shattering abilities.

As for who the person really was, based on his final words, it seems the Six Paths Immortal Wheel and Wei Immortal’s Divine Mountain Immortal Arrival Divine Techniques were both created by him.

Wei Immortal coughed and said, “I didn’t expect our battle would result in such a bizarre occurrence…”

He kept his gaze on Ning Qi’s expression, speaking again, “You don’t know who he is?”

Ning Qi was taken aback, asking in return, “Do you know?”

The two paused their battle, and started chatting, which was rather odd.

Wei Immortal looked up at the sky and said slowly, “If my guess is correct, that person might be the former master of Buzhou Mountain. It seems the remnants of Buzhou Mountain you acquired didn’t record any related information.”

“The Master of Buzhou Mountain?”

Ning Qi thought for a while and understood.

If it was said that the two Divine Techniques they had just used were created by him, and both techniques came from the Buzhou Mountain legacy, such formidable techniques could only have been created by the Master of Buzhou Mountain, who else could it be?

“Is he still alive?” Ning Qi inquired.

Wei Immortal shook his head.

“I don’t know, after all, the Buzhou Mountain in my possession is also a remnant, and even though I’ve speculated about his identity, I know nothing about his past.”

“Alright then, shall we continue our battle?”

Ning Qi discarded distractions and focused on the present.

“Of course, we have sworn an oath of the Immortal Path, until a winner is decided, neither of us will be satisfied.”

The three onlookers, for some reason, felt a sense of absurdity seeing them chatting and still wanting to fight.

Despite such a major incident happening just now, these two are still thinking about combat.

Both of them have provided quite a spectacle for the onlookers.

Saint Ancestor felt quite gratified seeing Ning Qi use his own hundred-character Heaven Stele to surpass the opponent’s Multi-Storey Immortal Tower Divine Techniques.

Sea Ancestor imagined herself as Ning Qi, and also as Wei Immortal, instantly feeling the fearsome power of both.

In terms of physical prowess and Divine Techniques, both surpassed her considerably.

As for Lin Chen, on the five-colored Treasure Ship, he grew increasingly worried for Wei Immortal.

Ning Qi’s strength was something he hadn’t anticipated; he felt that if he were to confront Ning Qi head-on, he would surely be defeated.

Wei Immortal’s entire being radiated the aspect of a full moon, its silver shine immaculate and free of earthly dust.

“Next, I shall unleash my greatest power.”

Ning Qi responded, “I look forward to it.”

Wei Immortal spoke no more. Instead, he placed his right hand on his chest, pressing over his heart.

Thud thud! Thud thud!

In an instant, it seemed everyone could hear his heartbeat.

Ning Qi and the three others were uncertain of what he intended, though Lin Chen felt a glimmer of hope rising in his heart.

“Has Wei finally succeeded in his condensation?”

The immortal power within Wei Immortal’s body seemed to gather entirely at his heart.

He even neglected to leave any power to block the energy of the Sea of Realms.

Thus, the energy of the Sea of Realms rolled in again, poised to invade his body.

The heartbeat resounded even clearer in everyone’s ears, like the beating of an Immortal Drum, resonating in all directions.

The encroaching Sea of Realms energy seemed to meet a powerful repellent force, instantly being driven far off, forming a circular vacuum.

This vacuum expanded wide enough to encompass Ning Qi and others as well.

It was as if the surrounding energy of the Sea of Realms was dispersed solely by Wei Immortal.

“I’ve never used this move against others before, I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Wei Immortal closed his eyes, speaking again.

After speaking, everyone saw Wei Immortal’s head full of lustrous hair suddenly turn gray from roots to tips.

Standing in the void, his whole being seemed to transform completely.

“Seven Emotions Tao Fruit, Path of Sadness!”

Wei Immortal reopened his eyes, looking at Ning Qi.

Those gray immortal eyes now held profound sorrow, the sadness of all things in the world blended within.

Standing on the five-colored Treasure Ship, Lin Chen took just one glance.

And couldn’t help but shed tears, wiping his face with a sleeve as if a buried memory had been stirred.

“Wei, didn’t you say you’ve already forgotten about Linglong?”

He also recalled his deceased relatives, sorrow welling in his heart as he slumped onto the five-colored Treasure Ship.

Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor didn’t even have time to check Lin Chen’s state, as they just gazed at Wei Immortal’s eyes.

Both felt that those eyes held terrible magic, penetrating their minds, their hearts.

Sea Ancestor succumbed first, memories rising within, images of her deceased father repeatedly appearing in her mind, stoking heartache.

“This is false, it’s not real…”

She shook her head vehemently, yet gradually slowed down.

“Father… I miss you dearly!”

Saint Ancestor manifested numerous golden Divine Texts, all related to maintaining mental clarity and repelling evil.

Some Divine Texts hovered over his head, casting immortal radiance, others entered his heart, invigorating his blood.

“Path of Emotions? As long as I fortify myself, I should be able to withstand it, right?”

Thoughts flashed through Saint Ancestor’s mind.

Only when the thought had just flared up, Saint Ancestor sensed that all his Divine Texts seemed unable to resist Wei Immortal’s power, instantly softening and dissipating.

Saint Ancestor’s eyes gradually filled with emotion, sorrow overwhelming his heart.

All the past, departed relatives and disciples, heavy shadows, familiar voices, all flooded towards him.

“No…”

Both Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor slumped in the void, breathing rapidly, their heartbeats gradually synchronized with Wei Immortal’s.

The three onlookers, all after gazing into Wei Immortal’s immortal eyes, sunk deeply into mourning.

No matter their strength, no matter how they convinced themselves it was false, it was all in vain.

It seemed there was always a force dragging them back to the past, pulling out those departed figures from sealed memories into the present.

Whether fondness, admiration, care, tenderness…

Made them lose all defenses, plunging the three into anguished sorrow.

They lost control over the immortal power within them.

The power of the Tao Fruit was thus seen, a complete dimension-lowering strike.

But none of them were Wei Immortal’s real target, that was Ning Qi.

Ning Qi was gazed upon by Wei Immortal’s gray immortal eyes, and felt his soul entirely enter a strange world.

He felt no perception of time or space, even forgetting his identity, forgetting everything about himself.

Once he regained consciousness, he only knew he was Wei Immortal.

Ning Qi felt trapped in an endless nightmare, constantly reliving Wei Immortal’s experiences.

“Wei Immortal, skipping class?”

In a private school session, a mischievously innocent girl sat beside him, secretly tugging at his clothes.

Wei Immortal recognized her, Lu Linglong!

His youthful heart had long sworn a vow unknown to her.

He promised to protect her, even at the cost of his life, just to see the rosy dimples in her radiant smile.

“Wei Immortal, do you like me?”

“I… I don’t!”

“Really?” The girl ran off, somewhat sadly.

“Wei Immortal, I heard Aunt is sick, you need to go out and earn money. I’ll take care of Aunt from now on.”

The twin-blossomed girl carried large bags, barging into his home.

Wei Immortal looked at the girl in surprise and stammered, “No, you’re an unmarried woman, how can you stay at my house? What would your parents think, what will others say?”

The girl rudely tossed her bags toward him.

“I don’t care, I’ve severed ties with my parents, I have nowhere else to go.”

Wei Immortal felt his heart struck by lightning, confusedly beginning to understand.

“I…”

“What’s with the ‘I’, stop dawdling, hurry and leave, Aunt and I will be waiting for you to return!”

Wei Immortal felt a surge of power within him but reluctantly turned back, eventually stepping out of his home.

Half a year passed, Wei Immortal returned, seeing his mother restored to health but in tears.

“Mother, what’s wrong? Where’s Linglong?”

His mother grasped his hand and said:

“During the chaos, Linglong sacrificed herself to protect me, voluntarily letting herself be captured by marauding soldiers.”

“What?”

Wei Immortal calmed his mother and immediately grabbed a knife, heading out to search for any trace of Linglong.
