 Xiao Wu's Talent, the Fruit Planted 

The sudden appearance of the Giant Sword Dao Sovereign was unexpected. 

The Dao Sovereigns from the Luo family were relieved, grateful they hadn't acted, or they would have been dead. 

Who knows how this terrifying Dao Sovereign Sixth Realm appeared, but he did. 

After killing the demon Dao Sovereign, the Giant Sword Dao Sovereign quickly returned, standing silently behind Lin Moyu, like a servant. 

The Luo family couldn't help but speculate about Lin Moyu's identity, wondering what kind of person could have a Dao Sovereign Sixth Realm as a servant. 

Lin Moyu's gaze was gentle, "Fellow Daoists, do you have any other business?" 

The group understood that Lin Moyu was issuing a polite dismissal, so they quickly bid farewell and left without hesitation. 

Lin Moyu didn't watch them leave but looked further away. 

Thousands of kilometers away, several demon Dao Sovereigns were retreating. 

These were the same demon Dao Sovereigns who had left earlier, but they hadn't truly departed. 

Now, seeing their own Dao Sovereign Fifth Realm expert being decisively killed, they were all shocked and fled. 

Lin Moyu couldn't be bothered with them; if they dared to come, he would kill them one by one. 

The spirit flower was healing the Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast, and as the flower shrank, the beast's aura quickly stabilized, likely to recover soon. 

After half a day, the spirit flower vanished, and the Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast was fully healed. 

"Father!" the Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast joyfully exclaimed, rubbing its big head against Lin Moyu, like a spiritual beast version of a kitten. 

Lin Moyu patted its head, "How did you get here?" 

The Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast was at the Dao Sovereign First Realm, not weak, but its racial traits meant it wasn't strong in combat. 

The Dao Sovereign First Realm allowed it to cross the Boundary Sea, but it was still dangerous. 

The Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast's voice was soft and cute, "I sensed Father's aura, so I came." 

Lin Moyu asked, "You encountered many dangers on the way, right?" 

The Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast replied firmly, "There were dangers, but it didn't matter. I was sure I could see Father. Once I saw Father, there'd be no more danger." 

Lin Moyu asked curiously, "Why are you so sure?" 

The Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast said, "My bloodline ability told me I would definitely see Father, and there would be no trouble." 

Lin Moyu pondered and smiled slightly, "Let's go home first, and you can tell me everything that happened on your way back to the North Continent." 

Hearing the word "home," the Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast's eyes lit up, "Okay, let's go home." 

The man and the beast flew towards Yudao City, not too fast, and along the way, the Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast recounted its experiences. 

The Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast is a unique spiritual beast, peculiar in its bloodline, heritage, and racial structure. 

There aren't many Soul Spirit Ancestor Beasts, with fewer than a thousand in the North Continent. 

These thousand Soul Spirit Ancestor Beasts are divided into over a hundred small tribes, each with no more than ten, and some as few as three or four. 

This Soul Spirit Ancestor Beast's name is Soul Five, also known as Xiao Wu. 

It's the smallest in its tribe, which has only five Soul Spirit Ancestor Beasts. 

Xiao Wu was once a totem of a Boundary Sea world, also called the Soul Spirit Realm. 

Later, the Soul Spirit Realm engaged in a world battle with the Great World and was destroyed. 

At the last moment, Xiao Wu was summoned into the Soul Spirit Realm. 

The Soul Spirit Realm couldn't escape destruction, but because of Xiao Wu, a fragment of space remained. 

Xiao Wu also left behind a remnant soul. 

Before dying, Xiao Wu used its bloodline power to plant a fruit. 

Lin Moyu later entered the Soul Spirit Realm, becoming the cause of Xiao Wu's planted fruit. 

Xiao Wu was resurrected and returned to the North Continent. 

The price was losing its previous memories and seeing Lin Moyu as its father. 

This is the Causality Great Dao, quite unreasonable. 

The most terrifying aspect of the Causality Great Dao is not knowing cause and effect but planting a fruit that inevitably leads to a cause. 

The planted fruit will inevitably come true, and the cause becomes a price. 

Xiao Wu's price was losing its memory and gaining a human father. 

After returning to the North Continent, Xiao Wu also returned to its tribe. 

Its power quickly recovered, soon becoming a Dao Sovereign again. 

Xiao Wu was originally a Dao Sovereign, but its power was suppressed when it descended into the Soul Spirit Realm. 

This time, Lin Moyu's advancement to Dao Sovereign resonated with the Great Dao, allowing Xiao Wu to sense Lin Moyu's location and rush over. 

On the way, Xiao Wu indeed faced many hardships. 

While crossing the Boundary Sea, it was hunted by some sea tribes. 

Fortunately, it had planted a fruit before setting out, ensuring it would see Lin Moyu, so it ignored everything else, charging forward regardless of who tried to kill it. 

It suffered serious injuries but eventually reached the North Continent. 

Then it was targeted by the demon race, and the human race discovered it, leading to a battle as Xiao Wu continued its journey. 

Until the insect race arrived, Xiao Wu was surrounded by three parties with nowhere to go. 

But it was unafraid, sensing Lin Moyu, knowing its planted fruit had come true. 

This causal journey's final fruit was meeting Lin Moyu, with the soul injury and severe wounds as the cause. 

If Lin Moyu had no means to heal it, the soul injury would be difficult to treat. 

If not handled well, its realm could fall. 

After hearing all this, Lin Moyu patted Xiao Wu's head, "You're quite daring." 

Xiao Wu shook its head, "Daring doesn't matter as long as I see Father." 

Lin Moyu asked, "If you saw me and I couldn't heal you, would you plant another fruit?" 

Xiao Wu said, "Fruits can't be planted randomly; my bloodline ability is limited, and not every fruit can succeed. I can only plant one fruit every hundred years." 

Lin Moyu asked, "What are the specific limitations?" 

Xiao Wu shook its head, "I don't know. Only when planting a fruit will I know if it works. If the fruit exceeds my ability too much, it won't succeed, and we'll suffer backlash." 

That makes sense; there must be limitations, or the Causality Great Dao would be too domineering. 

Fruits can't be planted randomly; exceeding one's ability leads to backlash. 

Xiao Wu can only plant one fruit every hundred years, regardless of success, and must wait another hundred years. 

There's another limitation: if the fruit is too distant, it can't plant a new one until the causal chain is complete. 

Only after a causal chain ends and a hundred years pass can a new one be planted. 

There are many limitations, which Lin Moyu understands. 

Though Soul Spirit Ancestor Beasts have the Causality Great Dao talent, they only know how to use it, not the underlying reasons, which is a limitation of spiritual beasts. 

The Great Dao is fair, giving spiritual beasts enough talent but preventing them from enhancing it. 

Talent is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
