"In this world, there are no rules that remain unchanged forever," said the temple master of Yuxu Temple. "Even in our temple, there have been many precedents for changes to the inheritance of the Dao Fruit."
Daoist Guang Cheng reached out, summoning red and blue Sword Lights that orbited him, slowly descending with him toward a mountain peak below. He went on to say, "For example, inheriting the Dao Fruit is not fixed to a specific lineage. Initially, disciples of the Yuxu Temple were predestined to inherit a certain Dao Fruit upon admission. However, due to various reasons, our predecessors changed the rule to allow for arbitrary selection of the Dao Fruit, provided the Fitting Conditions are met."
Take Daoist Guang Cheng's own inheritance of Guang Chengzi's Dao Fruit, for example. If the old rules had been applied, he would have been predestined to inherit this Dao Fruit upon his admission, and no one else could have accommodated the Guang Chengzi Dao Fruit.
