Chapter 251: Dawn Sunset Dao Fruit

Chapter 251: Dawn Sunset Dao Fruit

Dawndusk Territory, Dawn Sunset Daoist Sect, within an unimaginably vast floating Daoist city…

“The grandeur of the Dawn Sunset Daoist Sect’s Daoist city is truly eye-opening,” Zhang Duoyu marveled as he followed Liu Yuan through the massive city gates, his face showing admiration. ‘Master, is this Daoist city not ten times the size of our Spirit Sword Sect's grounds?”

Liu Yuan glanced at Zhang Duoyu and said, "You're overestimating our Spirit Sword Sect. Compared to this floating Daoist city, our sect’s grounds are a hundred times smaller. And this is just the outer sect city region of the Dawn Sunset Daoist Sect."

Hearing this, Zhang Duoyu was even more amazed. He looked at the cultivators in the city, noticing many his age or younger, almost all of them carrying top-grade Spiritual Tools, and even some wielding Magic Treasures. He couldn’t help but feel a bit inferior.

Sensing Zhang Duoyu’s change in mood, Liu Yuan shook his head and said, “Ever since the House of the Earth God’s conferral of divine posts a bit over a hundred years ago, this is the first emergence of a Divine Sea stage being in the Central Region of the Human Realm. The Dawndusk Spirit Banquet hosted by the Dawn Sunset Daoist Sect has attracted almost half the powers from the Central Region. Against such mighty forces, our Spirit Sword Sect is but a speck of dust.”

As they spoke, a rumbling, deafening clap of thunder echoed out from high above the floating Daoist city!

At the heart of the city, above the sky-spanning Divine Tree of Time, a violet thunderbolt tore through the sky, transforming into a brilliant beam of light. It halted hundreds of meters above the city, revealing a young man in violet robes.

“Millenium Eon Primordial Lord!”

“That’s the master of the outer sect city region of the Dawn Sunset Daoist Sect, Millennium Eon Primordial Lord!”

“Millenium Eon Primordial Lord’s cultivation base really is immeasurably profound. He might have already touched upon the half-step Clone Avatar stage!”

Many looked up at the violet-robed young man surrounded by lightning, their faces filled with awe.

Millennium Eon Primordial Lord, however, paid no heed to the commotion below, his expression solemn as he gazed at the Divine Tree of Time. He made a hand seal and murmured, “Tree of Time Realm, open!”

A fierce violet divine light surged from him, converging towards the sky. Upon touching this light, the space above the Divine Tree of Time twisted, revealing a portal about dozens of yards wide, shimmering with brilliant light and invisible ripples.

“The Tree of Time Realm has opened!”

“The Dawn Sunset Daoist Sect, having produced the first Divine Sea stage being in the Central Region of the Human Realm, has invited nearly half the large celestial lands in the region to this Dawndusk Spirit Banquet. It's not surprising that they’ve opened the Tree of Time Realm.”

Puzzled, Zhang Duoyu looked at the vast portal to the Divine Tree Realm off in the distant sky and asked, “Master, what is this Tree of Time Realm? I've never heard of it before.”

Liu Yuan shook his head with a smile and explained, “The Dawndusk Spirit Banquet is divided into three tiers. The third tier, which we are attending, is centered around the Time Leaves of the Divine Tree of Time. This is the Spirit Banquet that small and medium sects like ours can participate in.”

Zhang Duoyu's eyes sparkled with admiration. "Then, the Tree of Time Realm…"

“Indeed, the Dao Fruits from the Divine Tree of Time are the main feature of the first-tier banquet, held within the Tree of Time Realm,” Liu Yuan continued, gazing at the entry portal which was rippling imperceptibly, "The celestial lands and top-level sects qualified to be invited to the first-tier banquet are almost all from the Central Region. They are so powerful that even many extremely strong large sects don’t qualify to enter.”

“The Divine Tree of Time undergoes a cycle every three thousand years, from sprouting to flowering and bearing fruit. It’s said that eating a single Dao Fruit can extend one's lifespan by five hundred years,” an old, wizened voice reached their ears. When they turned to look, they saw a gray-robed elder standing nearby, smiling gently.

"Increase one’s lifespan by five hundred years!?" Zhang Duoyu's eyes lit up, but the glow in his eyes quickly dimmed.

Such a precious treasure would surely be rare. Even with how colossal the Divine Tree of Time was, it definitely wouldn’t produce many such fruits. He quickly dismissed his thoughts as merely wishful thinking.

“Are you interested in the Dao Fruit?” the gray-robed elder inquired, his eyes revealing an indiscernible emotion, his smile still kind.

Zhang Duoyu hesitated, then admitted, “Yes, but…”

Before he could finish, Liu Yuan waved his sleeve and interrupted, “Your cultivation base is hardly different from mine. We’re both only at the Divine Core stage. Don’t tell me you seriously think we can obtain a Dao Fruit from the Tree of Time Realm?”

His tone was mocking, clearly disbelieving the elder's capabilities.

The gray-robed elder shook his head and chuckled. “No, I'm just selling entry spots to the Tree of Time Realm on behalf of some respected individuals. Each top-level sect or celestial land can bring ten people to enjoy the first-tier banquet. There are some with spare spots, so if you two are interested…”

Zhang Duoyu, hearing this, wavered even more. Such a spot would undoubtedly be extremely valuable, beyond his and his master's means.

“How much for each spot?” Liu Yuan asked. He knew what Zhang Duoyu was thinking, and sighed lightly.

The gray-robed elder extended both hands, putting out 8 fingers.

“80,000 spirit stones?” Liu Yuan was a Divine Core stage Spirit Master of the small Spirit Sword Sect, and he was only able to attend the Dawndusk Spirit Banquet because of the sect’s proximity to the Dawn Sunset Daoist Sect. Although Liu Yuan could be considered experienced in the ways of the world, his perspective was still very limited.

Eighty thousand spirit stones was no small amount, nearly half of the wealth of an ordinary Divine Core stage Spirit Master like him. Just for Zhang Duoyu's sake… Was it worth it?

The elder laughed scornfully, "One spot, 800,000 spirit stones."

Liu Yuan's expression soured, and he immediately dismissed the idea. “Then forget it.”

“You two must be rogue cultivators. You don’t have the spirit stones, yet you still dare to inquire about prices? What a waste of my time!” the gray-robed elder scoffed upon seeing their embarrassed faces, spat disdainfully, and left.

Scenes like this were not uncommon in the floating Daoist city.

Even though the Divine Tree of Time was extremely mysterious, its most precious yields—the Dao Fruits, Falling Years Flowers, and Time Leaves—mainly served to extend one's lifespan, thus holding limited allure for those at the Primordial Spirit stage, who already possessed long lifespans.

Thus, most of the forces attending the Dawndusk Spirit Banquet were exceptional geniuses in the Dao Foundation and Divine Core stages. The five hundred years of lifespan offered by a Dao Fruit was substantial even for an average Divine Core stage cultivator, who possessed a lifespan of nearly two thousand years.

Even among the top-level sects who were invited, not just any average joe could represent their sect at the banquet. Only those who were extraordinary talents that overshadowed their peers could attend. In celestial lands, however, life-extending spiritual items were abundant, so their attendees often showed little interest. They sometimes didn’t even manage to gather a party of ten people, leading to situations where they sold their remaining spots, like with the gray-robed elder just now.

The appearance of the first Divine Sea stage being in the Central Region of the Human Realm meant that they were also the first to transcend the Heart Demon Heavenly Tribulation. This should have been a monumental occasion. Yet, not a single Clone Avatar stage Greater Lord or Primordial Lord from the powerful forces of the Human Realm's Central Region attended. The underwhelming allure of the Dawndusk Spirit Banquet couldn't fully explain this absence.

The deeper implications of this led many to contemplate.

…

"Greater Lord Mo Yu, please stop troubling me."

The woman in blue palace attire stepped back, her tone cold and distant.

Heavenly Lord Mo Yu stood above her on the stairs, gazing down at the woman before him who had always been so beautiful and aloof. “Gathering Frost, you must’ve never imagined that I'd be the first among the Dawn Sunset Daoist Sect's Nine-Avatar Greater Lords to transcend the Heart Demon Heavenly Tribulation, did you? Even our Sect Master is still struggling with the tribulation, while I've already attained the title of Divine Sea stage Heavenly Lord."

Gathering Frost Greater Lord shook her head, turning to leave.

Heavenly Lord Mo Yu suddenly appeared right before her. He gazed down at her icy and exquisite features, his eyes filled with undisguised desire. “Weren't you always so noble? So aloof? In the past, you always relied on the Sect Master's favor, looking down on everyone. Why do you fear me now?”

As Heavenly Lord Mo Yu drew closer, Gathering Frost’s eyes filled with evident disgust. Icy qi surged around her as she listened to him speak, growing colder and colder until she finally snapped.

"Mo Yu!"

Heavenly Lord Mo Yu casually extinguished her rampant icy qi. His voice was emotionless, “You were addressing me just now?”

Hearing those words, Gathering Frost Greater Lord immediately regretted her outburst.

Among the Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords of the Dawn Sunset Daoist Sect who had challenged the Heart Demon Heavenly Tribulation, Heavenly Lord Mo Yu was currently the only one to transcend the tribulation. He was the only Divine Sea stage being in the Central Region of the Human Realm at this point in time, and he was even the sole Divine Sea stage being in the entirety of the Human Realm. He was far beyond a Three Avatar Greater Lord like herself, and he was now someone who was completely beyond her authority to reprimand.

Gathering Frost Greater Lord wasn’t foolish, picking up on the nearly imperceptible shift in his tone. She dropped her icy facade and turned to look at him directly. When she spoke, her tone softened slightly.

“Greater Lord Mo Yu, what do you want?”

“I just can’t understand. Even as a Three Avatar Greater Lord, you're just a lowly slut warming the Sect Master’s bed. And yet, why do you act so untouchable, so noble in front of us?” Mo Yu mused.

He was no longer restrained by anyone. He reached out and stroked her smooth, porcelain-like face, reveling in the feeling of control over this once unattainable ice queen of the sect. He could see the resentment she held deep in her gaze, which only served to intensify the pleasure he felt inside.

Although he’d had many dealings with women, he had lusted over Gathering Frost for a long time. She treated everyone in the Dawn Sunset Daoist Sect, aside from the Sect Master, with icy disdain. She was an ice goddess, untouchable and aloof.

Now, he could freely toy with her, free of any restraints. When he imagined her depraved, subservient behavior before the Sect Master, the stark contrast compared to her normal demeanor brought him perverse pleasure. He couldn’t bear it anymore, and pulled Gathering Frost Greater Lord into his arms. One hand snaked towards her slender neck, wanting to slip into the folds of her blue palace attire.

Finding herself in the man’s arms, Gathering Frost already had no way to resist, her Three Avatar cultivation base easily sealed by his. The cold look on her face disappeared, and she pleaded weakly, “Greater Lord Mo Yu, please don’t make things hard for me.”

“Gathering Frost, is this the real you? Didn’t you always look at me with loathing and disgust? Kneel down and beg me, and I'll spare you this once,” Heavenly Lord Mo Yu said playfully, letting her go.

A look of internal struggle lingered in Gathering Frost Greater Lord’s eyes, but after a few breaths of time, she made up her mind. "Fine, I’ll kneel in front of you. Let me go. But you must first make a Heavenly Violet Thunder Dao Oath.”

Seeing the determination in the woman’s eyes, Heavenly Lord Mo Yu couldn’t suppress a flare of anger. He smiled sarcastically and sneered, “You lowly slut. You’re just a fallen, depraved woman, and even now you still wish to remain faithful to the Sect Master?”

“How can your temperament still be so insufferable despite reaching the Divine Sea stage? Don’t tell me you’re really going to go back on your word?”

Gathering Frost Greater Lord’s tone regained its usual iciness, as if she was looking down on Heavenly Lord Mo Yu.

Heavenly Lord Mo Yu directed an inexplicable gaze at her before casually making a Heavenly Violet Thunder Dao Oath.

Gathering Frost Greater Lord stood there silently for a while, a hint of humiliation and struggle apparent in her eyes. She slowly knelt down, her knees touching the stone-cold palace floor.

Heavenly Lord Mo Yu walked closer, a smile on his face. “What a shame. Your aptitude for cultivation is wasted on such a stupid, lowly slut like you. You don’t understand Divine Sea stage beings at all. Divine Sea stage beings have already transcended the category of ordinary living beings. The likes of a Heavenly Violet Thunder Dao Oath may bind a Clone Avatar stage Greater Lord, but it has no effect on me anymore.”

“What are you doing?! No!! Ahhhn…Mm—”

Kneeling there on the floor, Gathering Frost Greater Lord felt her hair being grasped roughly. She suddenly saw Heavenly Lord Mo Yu’s member in her face, and her eyes suddenly widened. But in the next moment, she was unable to utter another word, as she found her mouth stuffed with its girth.

Heavenly Lord Mo Yu looked down at this beauty, who used to be the personification of an iceberg, kneeling before him, her mouth moving up and down the length of his shaft. His eyes closed in rapturous pleasure as he savored her warmth on his crotch. He muttered under his breath, “Sect Master, I have never surpassed you in anything. But now, don’t blame me for taking care of your property for the time being.”
