: “Condensed Dao Fruit” and “Finally Became Unification Dao Monarch” (Subscription Request)_2
But even so, this had some significant impact on Milton Cheney.
If the Condensation of the Dao Fruits failed, then naturally there would be no impact.
However, if it were successful, then Milton Cheney’s Realm in this life would be fixed, and he would no longer have any chance of advancement.
This was a well-kept secret, and it was also why the Lotus Monarch was willing to provide him with resources.
By this time, Milton Cheney was already quite content.
If he could not advance after achieving the status of a Monarch by Condensing the Dao Fruits, so be it; it was still infinitely better than being stuck at Deity Transformation Great Perfection during this Reincarnation Simulation.
Besides, Milton Cheney did not have a 100% certainty that he could Condense the Dao Fruits.
After all, this was his first attempt.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Even with the teachings of the Lotus Monarch, it was after all just theory.
The final step would still have to be taken by himself.
However, with such a profound foundation and the aid of nearly eighty strands of the Power of Merit, Milton Cheney conservatively had an 80% chance of success.
An 80% chance was already very high.
Even if the Lotus Monarch were to reincarnate, recover his memories, cultivate to Deity Transformation Great Perfection, and attempt another Breakthrough, the probability of true success might not exceed 80%.
After all, reaching the Unification Realm was extremely difficult.
Anything could happen in the Condensation of the Dao Fruits, and even Immortal Beings could not predict what might occur.
One should know that those in the Unification Realm possess millions of years of lifespan, and are powerful beings referred to as Monarchs, Holy Lords, and Sovereigns.
If it were so easy to achieve this Realm, then the Cultivation Realm wouldn’t have only so few Monarchs.
Of course, an 80% chance of success might make other cultivators ecstatic, but for Milton Cheney, it was just so-so.
Milton Cheney even felt it was quite unstable.
But now, he was no longer concerned with these matters. If he could achieve success, then so be it; if not, then he would just end the Simulation and return to the Wizard Realm.
A peck and a sip are all determined by fate.
Just like how he once harbored a trace of greed in his heart thousands of years ago, now that trace of greed no longer existed.
“Let it be three days from now, I will enter seclusion in my Cave Mansion to Condense the Dao Fruits, and I will need the Monarch to assist me as protector,” Milton Cheney said with no hesitation.
The Lotus Monarch spoke,
“No problem, concentrate on Condensing your Dao Fruits in peace. No one in the Holy Land will disturb you.”
“Moreover, you are already the designated next Holy Master of the Holy Land. Your Cave Mansion is in a Forbidden Area within the Holy Land, and even without me as your protector, no one else would dare to disturb you.”
Hearing this, Milton Cheney did not reply, but just nodded slightly.
He knew it was all empty talk.
What new Holy Master of the Holy Land? It was merely a status that was of no help to him.
Furthermore, if he was unable to successfully Condense the Dao Fruits, then everything would be even more illusory, and he didn’t even know when he would come to this world again.
But it had to be said.
This world had provided enormous help to Milton Cheney.
Although his current Realm was only at Deity Transformation Great Perfection, his understanding of the problems on the Wizard Path was far clearer than ever before.
Seeing that Milton Cheney had no interest in conversing, the Lotus Monarch did not say anything more.
Time slowly passed by, and the two of them sat quietly like this.
A moment later, the Lotus Monarch, who had already closed his eyes, opened them, as if he had made some decision.
“I have one Enlightenment Fruit left, you can take it before you Condense your Dao Fruits,” he said, his eyes betraying a trace of pain.
Even Milton Cheney could not hide a look of surprise on his face when he heard the Lotus Monarch’s words.
The Lotus Monarch really was willing to place heavy bets on him.
It’s just a pity that Milton Cheney might not be able to repay him.
Of course, if the Lotus Monarch managed to reincarnate and cultivate to Deity Transformation again within the millions of years after Milton Cheney achieved Monarch, then Milton Cheney could still lend a hand to the Lotus Monarch.
Because even if Milton Cheney became a Monarch, he could only live for this one lifetime.
However, the likelihood of this was very small.
Because, although millions of years seemed very long, compared to the countless reincarnations the Lotus Monarch had undergone, millions of years might actually not be that long.
Milton Cheney had heard of the Enlightenment Fruit.
It was extremely precious.
It could even be said to be the most valuable treasure in the Cultivation Realm.
Just by the words “Enlightenment” and “Fruit,” one could guess that this treasure had a significant relationship with the Realm of Unification.
And indeed, it was so.
The Enlightenment Fruit’s sole purpose was to increase the success rate of Condensing the Dao Fruits.
Moreover, it could increase the success rate by as much as 10%.
In the entire Cultivation Realm, only the Enlightenment Fruit possesses this effect.
The Enlightenment Fruit can no longer be considered a Heavenly Material or an Earthly Treasure, but an Immortal Material, an Immortal Treasure.
For Milton Cheney to say he didn’t desire it would naturally be a lie.
After all, with the Enlightenment Fruit, his chances of successfully condensing a Dao Fruit could even reach a terrifyingly high ninety percent.
This success rate was almost impossible to fail.
Unless Milton Cheney was extremely unlucky, such as a bolt of heavenly lightning striking his head at the very moment of condensing the Dao Fruit.
Of course, the likelihood of such an event was minuscule.
Milton Cheney suspected that the Enlightenment Fruit might have been left by the Lotus Monarch for his future self to recover his memories in a certain Reincarnation Cycle.
It was just that the Lotus Monarch perhaps also knew that the chances of the Enlightenment Fruit remaining until then were slim, so he might as well invest it in Milton Cheney.
“Thank you, Holy Lord.”
Milton Cheney spoke, his tone laced with gratitude.
This was Milton Cheney’s genuine emotion, not feigned.
Because, in actuality, the Lotus Monarch had no obligation to offer him the Enlightenment Fruit.
From the perspective of the Lotus Monarch, whether Milton Cheney could break through successfully or not, in the end, Milton Cheney would be bound to his ship.
Achieving Monarch status or Deity Transformation Great Perfection in one’s first life nearly always leads to becoming immortals in the history of the Cultivation Realm.
It was just a matter of doing so sooner or later.
“No need for politeness! Young Cheney, if you can’t achieve Unification with a forty percent chance, then I might start doubting whether my judgement was flawed.”
The Lotus Monarch concealed the slight sting in his heart and spoke magnanimously.
Milton Cheney said no more.
There was no use saying anything further at this point.
All had to wait until after three days to be revealed.
……
Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.
At this moment, for Milton Cheney, time no longer held much significance.
A single period of cultivation for him could last hundreds or even thousands of years; three days were like the blink of an eye.
In the forbidden area of the Holy Land, within the domain of Milton Cheney’s Cave Mansion,
Milton Cheney sat cross-legged on a giant green boulder.
As time ticked by moment to moment, Milton Cheney’s expression remained unaltered.
Finally, at a certain moment, Milton Cheney opened his eyes.
A glint of red brilliance flickered within them.
A jade-white fruit appeared in his hand.
The fruit was not large, about the size of a walnut.
After swallowing the Enlightenment Fruit, Milton Cheney immediately began condensing the Dao Fruit.
After nearly a hundred thousand years of cultivation in this world of reincarnation, the time had finally come for this step.
Condensing the Dao Fruit was unlike other processes; this step did not provoke any violent spiritual power or cause abnormalities to appear in the outside world.
The only change was occurring within Milton Cheney’s body.
At this moment, inside Milton Cheney’s sea of consciousness, invisible and imperceptible faint streams materialized out of thin air, forming into a pale red mini vortex in the central region.
Yet this small vortex seemed somewhat fearful of the intertwined Power of Merit in Milton Cheney’s sea of consciousness and selectively avoided it.
Time passed slowly, and the small vortex began to shrink, then shrink further.
Eventually, it transformed into a transparent red seed.
“The seed has condensed successfully.”
Well aware of the Unification process, Milton Cheney knew what this meant.
But this seed seemed too transient, perhaps too weak to endure?
Indeed, a forty percent success rate was still too low.
The next moment, with a thought from Milton Cheney, all the Power of Merit in his sea of consciousness ignited simultaneously.
The seed, once virtually insubstantial, became entirely real in an instant and then rooted itself within Milton Cheney’s sea of consciousness.
Once this Dao seed bore its Dao Fruit, that would be the moment he achieved Unification!
One month, two months, three months.
Before long, half a year had passed.
In the Cave Mansion, the body of Milton Cheney, which had not moved for half a year, twitched slightly at this moment.
He then slowly opened his eyes.
“After all, I have become a Monarch!”
