Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 557 - 556: Motivation and Explanation_1

"So, the reason Second Senior Brother has been wandering in the Buddha Country is this?"

Lu Yang was shocked; he thought that Second Senior Brother had crossed paths with Eldest Senior Sister, leading to his banishment to the western lands. He thought Second Senior Brother had to beg for food to survive in the Buddha Country and was living in poverty, disguised as a Buddha statue in temples. Very pitiful indeed.

It seems he had been overthinking things.

"Unfortunately, even after so many years, he hasn’t found any useful clues. On the contrary, he keeps being sent back home by the Buddha Country and keeps having to sneak in." Eldest Senior Sister regretfully shook her head, finding it extremely challenging to look for clues about an Immortal who managed time.

Perhaps he should visit the Five Elements Sect and carefully observe the Firmament Tree.

"Since the Firmament Tree is rejuvenated, could the Time Immortal still be alive and return to reside within it?"

Fairy Eternity nodded: "It’s possible. After all, it’s hard to rebuild an immortal body, so using the original one is the preferred choice."

"There’s also something else. I encountered Yingtian Immortal and the others in the Immortal Realm of the Five Elements Sect."

"What happened? Please explain in detail." Eldest Senior Sister was on alert. How did Lu Yang and Fairy Eternity get so much information from a single visit to the Five Elements Sect?

Fairy Eternity recounted in detail what she had seen and experienced in the Immortal Realm, with a particular focus on her conversation with the Time Immortal through a space-time passage. Of course, she wasn’t aware that Yingtian Immortal and Qilin Immortal had been playing chess simply because they didn’t want to eat.

Yun Zhi furrowed her brow slightly.

"I didn’t see any historical reflection when I entered the Immortal Realm. I never would’ve thought that such significant events were hidden in the chess game."

Lu Yang was puzzled. According to Fairy Eternity, those who could gain insights from the chess game would see the historical reflection. So why couldn’t Eldest Senior Sister see it?

Fairy Eternity rolled her eyes, thinking that Lu Yang was rather dull. "Yingtian Immortal showed the historical reflection to the later generations for style, not for someone like Miss Yun at my level. What’s the point of letting her see the historical reflection?"

Lu Yang thought about it, and she was right. Even if Eldest Senior Sister had comprehended something, she wouldn’t be too surprised by Yingtian Immortal’s methods.

"Yingtian Immortal seems to have been the brains among the Five Immortals of the Ancients, considering everything so thoroughly."

"What are you blabbering about? Of course, I’m the mastermind. Do you think they could possibly be smarter than me?"

"If they were as smart as me, they would’ve thought of teaming up to secretly kill me and then resurrect me in the future. Wouldn’t that solve everything?"

Lu Yang: "..."

One must say, this really is a method, just not one a normal person would think of.

"I thought you were going to say the Four Immortals should’ve told the past you about the plot and had your past self commit suicide to avoid being killed."

"That’s the second plan." Fairy Eternity was thorough in her preparations and wouldn’t just think of one method.

As if she hadn’t heard the discussions they were having, Yun Zhi analyzed, "Fairy, you being assassinated is a fact. The remaining Four Immortals knew about this assassination from you, they must have prepared something. If they didn’t prepare anything for you, then they must have prepared something for themselves, perhaps a last resort to save their own lives."

"So this would mean that the Four Immortals of the Ancients might still be alive, including the Time Immortal. They’ve remained hidden in the shadows of history, never making a move. But is it because they’re in a terrible state or because of some other reason?"

"From the fact that the two of you couldn’t get any information about the predecessor from the historical reflection, and that the space-time passage was disrupted, something else must be blocking everything."

Even if the Time Dao Fruit was ineffective, it shouldn’t have only conveyed five characters, and the Time Immortal himself had said that something was interfering."

"It seems there’s a force that’s changed history, preventing later generations from gathering information about the predecessor from history."

The pen name for the Cookbook of the Immortal changed from "Fairy Eternity" to "Yingtian Immortal", and the ancient immortals replaced "Fairy Eternity" with "Time Immortal" in their speeches, etc. All these things proved this point.

"It seems that we can’t entirely believe the information in the ancient books, some parts have been modified."

"Those who could’ve done this are likely the wielders of Dao Fruit, like Causality Dao Fruit, Destiny Dao Fruit, Consciousness Dao Fruit, Verbal Spell Dao Fruit, etc."

Eldest Senior Sister was mumbling to herself, she looked into Lu Yang’s eyes briefly, thought that Lu Yang was still young and shouldn’t be exposed to so much, then stopped speaking.

To himself, Lu Yang was exasperated, "Eldest Senior Sister, could you either not start talking, or finish what you were saying without stopping halfway?"

Out of these, he only knew about the Causality Dao Fruit, and could deduce its effects based on the actions of the second Imperial Teacher.

The Causality Dao Fruit could deceive even the immortals, making them forget their own existence!

The only ones that could kill immortals are immortals themselves. Did Eldest Senior Sister mean there was a sixth immortal in ancient times? This immortal wielded the Causality Dao Fruit and used it to erase their existence?

The other three types of Dao Fruit must have similar effects!

If there truly was a sixth immortal, Fairy Eternity was very powerful, the sixth immortal’s Dao Fruit would’ve definitely countered Fairy Eternity!

Lu Yang secretly sought help from Fairy Eternity, she would definitely know the effects of these Dao Fruit.

What he didn’t know was at the same time he was trying to get Fairy Eternity’s attention, Eldest Senior Sister was also warning Fairy Eternity with her eyes.

Fairy Eternity believed Lu Yang shouldn’t know so much and adamantly refused to explain the effects of the Dao Fruit.

"What could have been the motive of the hidden hand behind Lady Fairy’s murder?"

Lu Yang had been unable to figure out this part. Assuming the enemy held the Causality Dao Fruit, even though Fairy Eternity had no conflicts with the world and was close with Four Immortals of the Ancients, if they killed Fairy Eternity, they would definitely provoke the Four Immortals of the Ancients. What reason would provoke them to make such a life-threatening move?

"Motive...reason…"

"Motive...reason…"

"There must be one, a reason regarding his own interests…"

He seemed to understand something, excitement appearing in his eyes, "Could it be possible that the Dao Fruit has devouring abilities? The more the Dao Fruit devours, the stronger it becomes?"

"Let’s provisionally name it the Devouring Dao Fruit."

"If the Ancients actually had seven immortals instead of five, with the sixth immortal holding the Causality Dao Fruit, and the seventh the Devouring Dao Fruit, the seventh immortal devoured the sixth and gained the power of Causality Dao Fruit, hiding his own existence."

"The seventh immortal wanted to become stronger and planned on Fairy Eternity, striking secretly, attempting to devour the Eternity Dao Fruit, to become an undying existence. However, things went awry, like the Four Immortals of the Ancients arriving in time, causing the seventh immortal to fail in devouring!"

"This explains the existence of the Eternity Sect. He created the sect with the purpose of devouring the nascent Eternity Dao Fruit!"

Everything made sense now!

Fairy Eternity was also excited, patting Lu Yang’s shoulder while saying she felt this was indeed the truth, "You make a good point!"

Yun Zhi interrupted their discussion: "Enough, Junior Brother. You shouldn’t be too involved in this matter, it’s too dangerous. Right now, what you should be doing is diligently cultivating."

"Oh."
