Dao Venerable Jieng snapped back to reality and imdiately shook his head in sha. "No, I cannot accept this. If not for your formidable strength, fellow Daoist, this would have been a certain death situation. I would feel unworthy to receive it!"
Su Yuan waved his hand dismissively. "I am not a stingy person. You were the one who brought here. If not for you, I wouldn't have obtained so many fruits. Just take six directly!"
Dao Venerable Jieng shook his head again. "Then three it is!"
He flew up to the giant tree and plucked three fruits.
Seeing this, Su Yuan nodded and casually stored away the remaining fruits.
Dao Venerable Jieng gazed at the giant tree with emotion. "For an ancient tree like this to bear fruit once probably requires an entire Imasurable Kalpa. Who knows what level of strength the guardian here will possess next ti! To obtain its fruit once is truly fortunate luck."
Su Yuan smiled without speaking.
At this mont, Dao Venerable Jieng looked in the direction where Dao Lord Cihang and the others had perished.
"What a pity. Cihang and the others were controlled by those giant tigers, losing their true selves. They actually aren't that kind of people," Dao Venerable Jieng added.
Su Yuan said lightly, "Heh, we can simply resurrect them."
"Hmm?" Dao Venerable Jieng was stunned.
"Reincarnation!"
Su Yuan mobilized the power of the Samsara Dao Principle, calling upon their return using the three individuals' true nas!
"Return! Cihang, Wuzhuang, Zhushan!"
Su Yuan called out, the True Na Dao Principle and the Samsara Dao Principle shining in mutual brilliance.
At the original locations where the three had perished, strands of True Na Power each coalesced into the phantasmal forms of the three.
The Samsara Dao Principle activated. Since the ti since their demise wasn't long, Su Yuan quickly summoned the three back from the past tiline!
Reincarnation Force condensed to form their figures. They were resurrected and returned. Apart from their auras being sowhat weak and listless, they were no different.
Cihang's eyes opened, the horror within them gradually transforming into bewildernt.
He looked at Su Yuan and Dao Venerable Jieng, then glanced at the empty branches on the distant giant tree, finally realizing his own situation.
He was saved!
Cihang looked at Dao Venerable Jieng.
Jieng gave him a aningful look.
Cihang imdiately knelt down towards Su Yuan, performing a grand salute. "I thank the Dao Venerable for your life-saving grace!"
The other two also ca to their senses and imdiately kowtowed in gratitude!
Su Yuan looked at the three and smiled. "Your luck was good. You sought out Jieng and ultimately found . If you had sought out Jiuyou and the others, you would have been finished!"
Cihang's heart was also filled with relief.
"However, the unfortunate part is that I wield the Causality Dao Principle!" Su Yuan added.
Cihang and the other two imdiately discovered thick Causal Threads connected to themselves surrounding them.
This was the karma of the life-saving grace.
"Therefore, if you wish to continue increasing your strength, you must find a way to settle this karma. You can pool resources in the future to eliminate this causality. There's no need for words of thanks!"
Su Yuan stated.
Cihang imdiately said, "This is what we should do. The grace of saving our lives is beyond repaynt. From now on, we shall heed the commands of the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign!"
Su Yuan shook his head. "I have no interest in establishing a faction. However, I may post missions on the Transaction Platform. You can go and accept those missions. Completing tasks can also repay a certain amount of karma."
Cihang and the other two exchanged glances, then nodded.
Su Yuan calculated with his fingers and said, "New guardians will arrive here in another hundred years. If you are willing, you can take advantage of this ti to chop so branches from this Myriad Dao Fruit Tree (just nad). This is also a type of Dao Lord-level crafting material, quite valuable!"
After speaking, Su Yuan himself condensed the Star Sword and struck the giant tree.
A massive branch, one light-year in length, was chopped off by Su Yuan and stored away.
Later, when transferred to the Seven Stars Chaos, it could be cultivated into a new Myriad Dao Fruit Tree.
Afterwards, Su Yuan said, "I have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave!"
Su Yuan waved a hand at the group and then vanished in the blink of an eye.
Only then did Dao Venerable Jieng let out a sigh of relief. "Just now, I felt like I couldn't breathe."
"The strength of the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign is too overwhelming!"
Everyone was filled with awe and astonishnt.
Dao Venerable Jieng looked at the three and said, "From now on, let's stay by the side of the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign. Although he says he doesn't wish to establish a faction, we should still heed his commands. It's good to build so connections. It's also best if the three of you don't completely repay your karma. Leaving a little bit might be even more useful!"
Cihang nodded, also feeling that this karma was not a burden but rather a ladder to befriend the Seven Stars Dao Sovereign.
The four discussed for a mont and then arrived beneath the giant tree.
"Let's each take so branches back as well!"
Dao Venerable Jieng said this and casually swung his sword at the giant tree.
*Clang!*
The tree bark didn't budge an inch. This made Dao Venerable Jieng freeze.
He imdiately exerted his full power, superimposing three Dao Principles, and struck a thick branch of the giant tree.
The result remained exactly the sa as before.
This ti, Dao Venerable Jieng was sowhat speechless. He imdiately climbed along the branch upwards, found the next level of sub-branch, and chopped again. This ti, it began to leave a mark, but it was only a barely perceptible fine crack. At this speed, it would be impossible to sever this branch within a hundred years.
Cihang and the others watched, stunned. They realized that chopping the branches of this giant tree was not easy. Ti was of the essence.
Cihang simply went to the very tip of the outermost twig and hacked away. The result was relatively decent;
it could be cut.
From the initial main branch to the final twig tip, it had already branched over ten thousand tis.
She went up just three more fork points and couldn't cut anymore.
She then looked back at the branch position where Su Yuan had chopped earlier. The disparity in strength between the two was visibly obvious.
Dao Venerable Jieng stopped at the place after the nine-thousandth fork. Although this position was much better than Cihang and the others, the distance from Su Yuan was still extrely vast.
"Alright, everyone, start chopping! This opportunity is rare, we must not miss it!"
Dao Venerable Jieng called out.
The four then began to chop away with great effort.
Because the Ti Dao Principle within the Dao Realm was extrely stable, the ti acceleration multiplier they could apply was extrely limited. The total amount they could chop in a hundred years probably wouldn't even be one ten-thousandth of what Su Yuan casually chopped down earlier.
It was truly backbreaking work.
At this mont.
Su Yuan was already examining those Dao Principle fruits.
Su Yuan discovered that he had celebrated too early.
These fruits were most effective for those at lower cultivation realms. The higher the realm, the lesser the effect. At the Dao Lord Sixth Order level, the effect was even less effective than Dao Source.
"These fruits are equivalent to directional Dao Source crystals, possessing singularity. Their effect on comprehending Dao Principle combinations is nearly zero, but they are quite effective for elevating the realms of the first four orders!"
This was probably also the reason why the Myriad Dao Tree only had Fifth Order Chaos Phantoms guarding it. This thing truly wasn't very useful for the Sixth Order anymore.
But Su Yuan could utilize them, trade them away, and in turn obtain Dao Source. Then he could use the Dao Source to enhance his own strength.
