I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

“The Dao Infant is not an ‘infant’; it is edible, a fruit.”

“Lord Shou, you can think of it as the heavenly flame born from the Ashvattha and the Dragon Apricot fruit that the Ancestral Dragon Apricot Tree bears only once every three thousand years.”

“The only difference is that the latter two are cultivated by their own strength, each belonging to themselves, while the former, the Di Ying Holy Plant, is crystallized by the power of others through the help of external forces.”

“It may seem unrelated to oneself, but that’s the ‘influence’ of the Ancestral Trees, a non-combat attribute’s special effect.”

Sitting on the first coral stage to the left of the round table in the Crystal Palace, Li Fugui spoke as such.

The second true body sitting in the main position of the glaze dragon stage listened silently, gaining a deeper understanding of the grandeur of the Ancestral Tree’s power.

Not only does it have a terrifying existence that is capable of producing heavenly flames and even a figure like the Great Infernal Ancestor by its own strength,

but also it possesses the weird ability to influence others so that their power can crystallize into something called “Dao Infant”?

But what can this “Dao Infant” actually do?

Seeming to perceive the doubts of Lord Shou, Li Fugui smiled and said:

“The Dao Infant allows one’s power to be presented in the most perfect manner, which can be understood as the substantive manifestation of a perfect prefiguration of the Great Path.”

“In ancient times, the Di Ying Holy Plant was once conquered by certain Holy Clans.”

“The existence of ‘Dao Infants’ enabled the great powers of the clan to preserve a part of their perfect abilities in advance when facing death or sensing impending doom.”

“Though this preservation is somewhat weaker in strength, it can be passed on to the next generation, bestowing them with the same abilities.”

“Although most of the time, a path with a predetermined end hardly brings forth innovation, incapable of surpassing its origin.”

“But in doing so, the lineage of a clan can be forever preserved.”

This sounds quite terrifying, doesn’t it?

Indeed, from the perspective of family heritage, the Di Ying Holy Plant is undoubtedly the most useful Ancestral Tree there is—without rivals!

But then…

“Since you mentioned ‘indestructibility,’ what has become of this ‘Holy Clan’ you speak of?” The second true body, with her elbow propped on the table, raised the question.

Now, the Di Ying Holy Plant is no longer with the Holy Clan, but at the Ran Ming ruins.

The Dao Infant, such an object, is scarcely known under heaven, and even information about the Ancestral Di Ying Holy Plant is extremely rare.

The answer seems to have been there all along.

Li Fugui spread his hands helplessly: “Such a useful Ancestral Tree, and there was more than one powerful ancient Holy Clan; naturally, it led to a scenario where innocence is no defense against holding a jade——each clan fought and snatched over it, and after their decline, the Ancestral Tree instead found its climate and escaped the bitter sea.”

The second true body nodded thoughtfully.

“But this is just one version of events,” Li Fugui paused before continuing:

“Another version says that the power of the Holy Clan has been passed down to today and evolved into the five great aristocratic families of the Holy Emperor.”

“Of course, it’s impossible to verify. Lord Shou, you can take it as a little story and listen for what it’s worth; it has no effect on the current situation.”

Saying this, Li Fugui seemed to get excited, leaning forward slightly with great interest:

“Lord Shou, don’t you find it curious that ‘Dao Infant,’ this perfect embryo, if fixed into a certain form, bears a resemblance to some things in the current world of spiritual cultivation?”

Resemblance?

Pondering, the second true body suddenly had a flash of spiritual light, and with a mix of surprise and doubt, said, “You mean…”

“Yes!”

Li Fugui nodded vigorously: “Demi-saint person!”

Hiss…

The second true body took in a sharp breath.

This, this is rather thought-provoking and terrifying, isn’t it?

“But it is impossible to verify; it’s just a guess that seems somewhat logical upon a cursory thought but is actually full of holes and does not really hold up to logic,” Li Fugui concluded, shaking his head, apparently finding his own speculation far-fetched.

Yet the second true body felt as if she had grasped something.

It must be said that, while Li Fugui appears ordinary, he is vastly learned and always able to provoke new thoughts through his conversation.

All of a sudden, it seemed the second true body understood why most among the Ten High Nobles haven’t undergone sanctification.

Even the advice Bazhun’an had once asked Li Fugui to convey to her true body:

“Do not seek sanctification with a demi-saint person, not even for the sanctification of the Way of the Sword.”

She didn’t quite understand at the time, but now, after all she had experienced and given it careful thought, she was starting to comprehend.

As Li Fugui said, a path with a fixed end hardly allows for new developments.

So…

Ordinary people see her practicing various Paths and perceive the journey as fraught with difficulties and challenges, achieving fame only for a moment and, looking at it long-term, it seems muddled and not wise.

Above the Abyss Island, seeing that her Sword Spirit Body is making progress on three Paths simultaneously, Bazhun’an is not worried but rather full of excitement and tremendous encouragement.

Is this the difference between a genius and the Ten High Nobles?

One endpoint is the demi-saint or Holy Emperor, which is attainable.

The other is the Ancestral God, or even beyond the Ancestral God, which is unattainable.

“I’ve digressed.”

The second true body quickly regained her composure.

As fruitful as her conversations with Li Fugui were, she was here to inquire about the disturbances related to the Dark Forest:

“Will a Dao Infant leaving its body cause a great disturbance?”

Upon this question, Li Fugui, who seemed to know everything, also hesitated.

“Lord Shou, this…”

After hesitating for a moment, he chose to be honest:

“The information I have about the Ancestral Di Ying Holy Plant is only as much as I’ve told you.”

“As to what the Dao Infant looks like and what consequences its departure from the body will cause, I do not know.”

After all, I don’t even know what the Di Ying Holy Plant looks like; everything is just ‘hearsay’… Li Fugui pondered inwardly.

The second true body was now at a loss.

She also wanted to know whether the weird changes occurring in the Dark Forest originated with Yue Gongli or with the Di Ying Holy Plant!

“But if I don’t know, Lord Shou, you can ask Lord Dragon Apricot, who is also an Ancestral Tree,” Li Fugui suggested.
