Chapter 290: The Supreme of Dao Integration
She really was done for, encountering someone who played by their own rules and made no sense at all.
Glancing at the scrutinizing eyes of Yun Zhonghe, Xing Bu grabbed at her non-existent hair in resigned desperation and sighed, “Ah~~ Forget it, forget it. I’ll just tell you the truth. The way of integration that I follow is very unique: I can’t make my own wishes, but I can help others realize theirs. Plus, there’s so many restrictions that I really can’t explain anything to you.”
Dao Integration?
The Supreme of Dao Integration?!
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhonghe’s eyes bulged out.
Dao Integration, that’s above divine transformation, combining universal principles, and is almost invincible!
Nowadays, hardly anyone in the Cultivation Realm hears about the Supreme of Dao Integration; they seem to have vanished from this world. But who could’ve thought that this woman with just lingering soul fragments reached the Dao Integration realm!?
Is this real or fake?
Seeing the full-on shock on Yun Zhonghe’s face, Xing Bu finally smirked triumphantly, “How about it? This is your one-in-a-million chance to make a wish to a Supreme of Dao Integration! What are you waiting for? You’re getting a great deal here!”
But… though Xing Bu was spouting nonsense, Yun Zhonghe still sensed something was off.
This Supreme of Dao Integration was way too unreliable, looking like a madcap, which totally contradicted the image of an all-powerful being.
Maybe they should just forget it then?
After a pause, Yun Zhonghe turned down the request, “I considered it and decided it’s probably better not to disrupt the elder.”
Out of respect for her supposed strength, Yun Zhonghe bowed awkwardly and prepared to leave together with Chen Leling.
“No! Don’t go! Please! Please! Grant my wish! Do whatever you want or go through fire and brimstone, I’m ready!”
To everyone’s surprise, the mighty Supreme of Dao Integration was crying and groveling at Yun Zhonghe’s feet, begging to be allowed to stay.
This scene was completely shocking.
Who would’ve imagined such a revered figure would beg for wishes like a whiny toddler?
Yun Zhonghe: ?!?
Is this guy for real?
I swear I’ve never seen someone act this reverse before.
Yun Zhonghe felt increasingly uneasy, wondering if this was some kind of cursed wish granting that turns people into evil spirits.
Xing Bu was bawling her eyes out, her expression resembling a dimwit goddess, which sent shivers down Yun Zhonghe’s spine.
Yun Zhonghe glanced at her azure hair.
“Tsk.”
He couldn’t help but click his tongue.
Azure hair equals idiot?
Xing Bu shouted, “You just clicked your tongue just now! Didn’t you!”
Yun Zhonghe kept calm, “No, elder, you must’ve misheard me.”
Xing Bu, “Or maybe you just misread it?”
Without knowing why, he started bickering with her, and found no sense of awe towards her at all.
Perhaps… because she was too weak?
Though a spirit fragment, she was still a fragment of a Supreme of Dao Integration, which means her latent power and skills were unimaginable to normal cultivators, yet oddly enough, Yun Zhonghe felt no threat. Or perhaps it was due to the vast gap in strength and Xing Bu perfectly suppressing her aura.
Still, there was something inexplicably weak about Xing Bu.
Xing Bu seemed to read his thoughts, “Hey! Are you thinking that I’m weak as hell just now?!”
Yun Zhonghe froze, quickly trying to clarify, “Oh, sorry, I wasn’t trying to.”
Xing Bu, “Well then, sc*m! If you don’t grant three wishes to me, I’ll torment you non-stop.”
Yun Zhonghe chuckled sarcastically, “What logic is that?!”
That demand was utterly absurd.
At this point, even the Xue Yunjian sword couldn’t stand it anymore; its voice echoed in Yun Zhonghe’s mind: ‘Master, how can you talk to her like that?’
Yun Zhonghe paused, a wave of guilt washing over him.
Right, she was once a Supreme of Dao Integration even if in her current state, basic respect was due.
Besides, she was a woman, and it would be rude for him to treat a woman this disrespectfully.
He began to question his own behavior, realizing he had gone too far.
The Xue Yunjian sword, ‘Just k*ll this ghostly fragment! Why waste words.’
Yun Zhonghe was just too softhearted.
But seeing a Supreme of Dao Integration humbly pleading, Yun Zhonghe felt a bit guilty himself.
“Alright, if you can explain clearly why I need to grant a wish, I might consider it.”
Hearing Yun Zhonghe soften, Xing Bu’s eyes twinkled with excitement, “Thank you so much! You’re my savior!”
Looking at Xing Bu’s state, Yun Zhonghe couldn’t help but feel a tinge of sadness. Just moments ago, she had been spouting profound phrases, sounding so unworldly and aloof.
And now, she was reduced to this.
Yun Zhonghe rubbed his forehead, sighing internally.
…
“Therefore, you integrated a way to fulfill other people’s wishes. However, due to being just a leftover soul, you can’t fully control the power of the path and thus, it causes an accumulation of untold powers within your lingering essence.”
After detailed exchanges, Yun Zhonghe now understood Xing Bu’s situation.
“Yeah, it’s super uncomfortable, feels like I’m about to burst at the seams. Help me please, let it out.”
Xing Bu’s voice grew softer, eventually turning into sniffling.
At this moment, the Xue Yunjian whispered, ‘Yeah, I get it. When my master penetrates my body, it feels the same. Later, it gets comfortable though, hehe.’
Yun Zhonghe mumbled, ‘Not asking you.’
Now, Yun Zhonghe sat on a futon, while in front of him, Xing Bu floated in a bizarre posture, her body half-translucent, as if she would vanish anytime into thin air.
Next to him, Chen Leling was like a curious kitten, reaching out to touch, only to encounter nothingness, showing surprise and confusion.
Suspiciously watching the azure-haired woman, despite the tales he’d heard about the myriad paths of cultivation, Yunchonghe still found her described Dao Integration beyond comprehension.
He knew common paths such as Sword Way, Fire Way, Water Way, and even rarer ones like Life Way and Time Way.
But the Dao Integration that Xing Bu fused was solely for fulfilling wishes, what a living bodhisattva…
According to Xing Bu’s detailed depiction, even with her spirit fragment, she possessed path powers. This fragment was now chock-full of prayers, causing intense suffering unless released.
To expend these prayer-like forces, one had to fulfill other’s wishes.
