Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 554 - 553 Analysis of the Four Immortals_1

"Why haven’t we resuscitated Fairy Eternity in the future?"

When Yingtian Immortal asked this question, the Immortal Realm fell silent, with the other four immortals saying nothing.

Indeed, this is the most significant question. If others can’t resurrect Fairy Eternity, can’t one of them manage it?

If they only had to utter a name, who could prevent it?

"It’s not just Fairy Eternity. There may be problems with all four of us!" said Immortal Jiuchong coldly, this was the only possibility.

Although the previous question had been answered, a bigger one was set before them.

What exactly had happened that even among the Five Immortals of the Ancients, problems arose?

"Could it be that all four of us also perished?" Kirin Immortal suddenly suggested, sending a shiver down his own spine at the words.

After all, it was also a possibility. If Fairy Eternity had perished, theoretically, the four of them could also be wiped out.

"What you’re saying is the worst-case scenario, but it’s not very likely." Time Immortal shook his head analytically.

"Fairy Eternity was assassinated, which indicates that the opponent might be no match for her, or perhaps stronger than her, but their strength would be limited, it couldn’t be overwhelming. Under such circumstances, as long as the four of us unite, the hidden assassin would likely not kill us all."

"Right, Time, since you mentioned that our connection with the future has been severed by the use of Dao Fruit, can you identify how far into the future we’ve been cut off from?"

Time Immortal frowned, "I can try, but the probability of success is small. Wait a moment."

The Time Immortal activated the Time Dao Fruit once more, with the chaos energy raging. His true form completely transcended time and space, overlooking the entire continuum, but found the future clear and free of any obstructions or impediments.

"How did it go?"

"As I expected, it didn’t work. The future is too clear."

"What about the communication cut-off you mentioned?"

Time Immortal looked at the Kirin Immortal as if he were looking at an idiot, "I told you to listen during our gatherings and discussions."

Kirin Immortal flared up in anger. He had been toyed with by Time Immortal’s Time Dao Fruit twice, he was no longer afraid of his tactics. Did he really think he couldn’t match him?

Even though Time Immortal taunted Kirin Immortal with his words, he still explained, "The future is uncertain, and what I see is only the most likely scenario. The closer the future I see, the higher the probability, the further away it is, the less likely it is."

"Suppose the future I see is ’Scenario A’, the most likely scenario where Fairy Eternity is not assassinated."

"The event of Fairy Eternity being assassinated would be ’Scenario B’. When I talked to Fairy Eternity just now, I used the Time Dao Fruit to establish a connection with ’Scenario B’. The so-called cut-off, is the severance of my connection with ’Scenario B’, not ’Scenario A’, ’Scenario C’ or ’Scenario D’."

"So, does it mean that it’s not certain that Fairy Eternity will be assassinated?"

"No, the future is a straight line, it doesn’t branch. Fairy Eternity will definitely be assassinated. It’s just that from Time Dao Fruit’s perspective, this probability is very low and undetectable."

"I’ll only figure out the exact time of the cut-off once I have practiced Time Dao Fruit to the extent where I can observe all future scenarios."

Since Time Immortal’s thread led nowhere, none of the immortals was discouraged and they continued analyzing the matter.

"Only an immortal can harm another immortal. If Fairy Eternity was assassinated, it implies the assassin is an immortal. Other than us five, are there any other immortals?"

Jiuchong Immortal had the most authority on this matter: "According to my research, I was the first to become immortal, followed by the four of you in sequence, with Fairy Eternity being the last. There is no sixth immortal."

"In that case, there are two possibilities for the identity of the assassin who killed Fairy Eternity." Yingtian Immortal held up two fingers.

"One, someone in the future becomes an immortal, who is extremely talented."

"The other is that there aren’t just five of us immortals; there is a sixth one!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.

"That’s impossible! The phenomenon of becoming an immortal is utterly terrifying, how could the sixth person hide it!" Everyone had experienced the tribulation of becoming an immortal. It was an earth-shattering ordeal that was definitely unable to be concealed.

"Becoming an immortal is indeed impossible to hide, but what if the opponent achieved a Dao Fruit like the Causality Dao Fruit or the Destiny Dao Fruit and concealed their existence using the power of the Dao Fruit, isn’t it possible?"

Hiding oneself, forgetting oneself, also meant forgetting the prior terrifying ordeal of becoming an immortal.

The one who controls the Causality Dao Fruit may not be the most superior among immortals, but it doesn’t mean they can’t become immortals.

"This also explains the severance mentioned by Time Immortal. The Causality Dao Fruit was used to sever the causality between the present and the future."

"Or it could have been the Destiny Dao Fruit, which severed Yellow Bean’s destiny to live, altering her from life to death. We know too much about the future, Yellow Bean’s death would be affected, the cut-off occurred to ensure that we don’t know too much!"

"Let alone, there could be other Dao Fruits that we don’t understand, there are numerous possibilities."

In fact, they didn’t understand the Causality Dao Fruit or Destiny Dao Fruit much either. These were all theoretical possibilities.

Without condensing an intact Dao Fruit, no one knows its precise power.

For instance, the Eternity Dao Fruit, when it was at the nascent stage, Yellow Bean merely utilized it to restore herself, or to dash around within statues.

Who could’ve imagined that after a complete Eternity Dao Fruit was formed, Yellow Bean could self-destruct at any time and anywhere, while being able to resurrect just by having someone say her name?

"Or there’s a third possibility for the assassin, for now, I can’t think of it." Yingtian Immortal shrugged; coming up with two possibilities in such a short time was challenging enough.

The other three Immortals also shook their heads, unable to come up with a third possibility for the moment.

"Should we tell Fairy Eternity about this matter?" Kirin Immortal asked, both Yingtian Immortal and Time Immortal began contemplating the feasibility.

"Absolutely not!" Immortal Jiuchong was the first to step forward in protest.

"Given Fairy Eternity’s character, once she’s informed of her inevitable assassination in the future, she might say something like ’I’ll commit suicide first so I won’t be assassinated’, then proceed to commit suicide on the spot, and patiently wait for her future resurrection!"

"She might even do other surprising things!"

Kirin Immortal: "..."

Yingtian Immortal: "..."

Time Immortal: "..."

It seemed indeed to be Yellow Bean’s style.

Yingtian Immortal stretched lazily, "We’ll have to prepare slowly, I reckon nothing will happen to Fairy Eternity for a while. You, Time, came out with the excuse of acting as a referee, it’s about time for you to return. Otherwise, if Fairy Eternity becomes suspicious and comes to look for us, that would be problematic."

Thinking about the food made by Fairy Eternity and Kirin Immortal’s wife, Time Immortal even thought of self-destruction.

"I guess it can’t be helped. Who called me unlucky?" Time Immortal sighed and, with a defeated look, dragged his body to prepare for his return to the North Star.

"Hold on, your chess game is estimated to last for about a hundred years, which would certainly create a historical reflection. Erase the reflection of us foreseeing Fairy Eternity’s future. If the assassin of Fairy Eternity saw the historical reflection, wouldn’t that reveal the fact that Fairy Eternity can resurrect in the future?"

"You are really cunning and deceitful." Yingtian Immortal extended his thumb in admiration.

"It’s called careful planning!" Time Immortal was furious.
