Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 979 - 979 978 Congratulations

?Chapter 979: Chapter 978: Congratulations Chapter 979: Chapter 978: Congratulations “The Time Dao Fruit isn’t on Junior Brother Li?”

Lu Yang found this matter not too difficult to understand. Reincarnation was unprecedented; nobody had ever encountered it, nor could anyone clarify what it was about. It was entirely possible that the Time Immortal was reincarnated as Li Haoran, yet the Time Dao Fruit was missing.

“Then who is using the Time Dao Fruit? I remember Eldest Senior Sister saying that even if someone obtained the Time Dao Fruit, they couldn’t easily use it. One must have a profound understanding of the Dao Fruit to do so.”

A feeling of unease vaguely rose within Lu Yang. Someone had obtained the Time Dao Fruit, but was this person friend or foe, and why were they continuously repeating this day?

Could it be that the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord got his hands on the Time Dao Fruit…

“That I do not know.”

“Is there a way to find the user?”

“That’s impossible unless you can observe every single action of every single thing in this world. When the next cycle of reincarnation happens, if someone’s actions differ from the previous cycle, that person would be the user.”

Lu Yang sighed; indeed, this was an impossible method.

After chatting a bit more, the conclusion was that there was no way to find out. Lu Yang decided to go out to change his mood.

Regardless, today was also the day he broke through to the mid-stage Transforming Spirit, which was something to celebrate.

Lu Yang pushed open the door of the Abode and saw Yun Mengmeng and Third Senior Sister setting up a chessboard and snacks at the entrance, so he greeted them.

“Sister Mengmeng, Third Senior Sister, good morning, I…”

Lu Yang’s vision darkened, and once again, he was back to the state just after he had finished his closed-door cultivation at the Abode.

“…”

Lu Yang took a couple of deep breaths and tried to calm himself, “It hasn’t even been a full hour, how has time reversed again?!”

Isn’t it supposed to reverse time only once a day!

“It’s likely that the Time Dao Fruit user encountered something, necessitating a return to this time node,” he thought.

Lu Yang covered his face, feeling no inclination to celebrate his breakthrough to mid-stage Transforming Spirit anymore.

“However, it’s unpredictable; perhaps the user found it amusing to reverse time several times. I heard that when the Time Immortal initially obtained the Time Dao Fruit, he was particularly excited, frequently causing time to reverse and then acting like he could predict the future.”

“You heard?”

“Yes, I wasn’t an immortal back then, so when time reversed, I didn’t know. All this came from the tales of Immortal Jiuchong afterward.”

“So immortals are not affected by the reversal of time?”

“Not entirely unaffected; the body will still return to the original time node. It’s just that memories will be retained.”

Lu Yang frowned: “Doesn’t this mean that all immortals are aware that the Time Dao Fruit has appeared and they will all be seeking the Time Dao Fruit user?”

Fairy Eternity shrugged, “So what if they are? Could they possibly find them?”

Lu Yang still felt something was off. This Time Dao Fruit user was a bit too brazen. Did they have some sort of backup plan?

…

“The Time Dao Fruit has appeared?!” The middle-aged man on the celestial throne opened his eyes wide, a flash of brilliant light and surprise passing through them.

In thirty thousand years of being an immortal, this was the first time he’d seen a trace of the Time Dao Fruit.

“You all, quickly find the Time Dao Fruit for me!” The middle-aged man’s voice was authoritative, like an Immortal King who reigned supreme and whose celestial might was inviolable.

Along the sides of the celestial throne, shadowy figures stirred, and one stood out, asking, “May I inquire, how shall we search for the Time Dao Fruit Outline?”

The Mid-heaven Emperor Lord thought about it and realized his own foolish delight. Indeed, the Time Dao Fruit had appeared, but who knew where it was.

“…Take the Seeking Immortal Token and wander around more often.”

“As you command.”

…

Inside the abode, Lu Yang and Fairy Eternity yawned listlessly, the joy of breaking through to the mid-stage of Spirit Transformation having been completely worn away by the repeated reincarnations.

“Fairy, how many times have we reincarnated?”

“This might be the seventh time.”

In these seven reincarnations, Lu Yang had almost made a circuit around Sky Gate Mountain and had done everything there was to do, such as asking Tao Yaoye how many Spirit Stones she had made in this quarter before the end of the last reincarnation, so that in the next one he could go straight to her and tell her the amount of Spirit Stones.

Or upon learning in the previous reincarnation that Bai Ye had a taste for walnut pastries, he would bring a bag of them along the next time he visited.

“When will the user ever be done? Why hasn’t it ended yet?”

“Wait, what time is it now?”

“Should be around 5 a.m. to 7 a.m.”

Lu Yang abruptly stood up; the reincarnations had been happening at 3 a.m. to 5 a.m., but now it had already passed 5 a.m., the sky was bright, and the reincarnation still hadn’t occurred.

“Has time finally returned to normal?”

Lu Yang pushed open the door of the abode, where a messy chessboard lay at the entrance. Yun Mengmeng and Third Senior Sister had played Go all day long and, agreeing to a rematch the next day, had not put the board away.

Lu Yang was certain that he had not entered another reincarnation.

Considering that in one previous experience, reincarnation had occurred one hour after the breakthrough to the mid-stage of Spirit Transformation, it was clear that the time of reincarnation was not set, so Lu Yang did not rush to feel happy.

Half a day passed, and still no reincarnation occurred, and Eldest Senior Sister also returned to the Seek Dao Sect.

“Eldest Senior Sister, you’ve finally come back.”

“Yes, I have. The matter of the Time Reincarnation is not urgent. I will tell you about the things that have happened these few days later. You should first stabilize your realm.” Yun Zhi noticed that Lu Yang, after his breakthrough, had not taken the time to consolidate his realm.

“Alright.” Seeing Eldest Senior Sister, Lu Yang instantly felt much relieved. He didn’t care whether there would be another reincarnation and went to stabilize his realm with peace of mind.

When Lu Yang opened his eyes again, Yun Zhi had already set up a table and chairs with tea at the entrance of the abode, while Yun Mengmeng’s chessboard was nowhere to be seen.

“Have some tea.” Yun Zhi gestured with her eyes, signaling Lu Yang to sit down.

Lu Yang sipped a small mouthful of tea; it was indeed superb Enlightenment Tea.

“It’s also my fault, really. When reincarnation started, Meng Junzi and I were engaged in a debate. Neither of us was affected by the reversal of time, and neither realized that time had flowed backward. It was only after Jiang Pingan found us that we became aware of the issue.”

“At the time, I suspected the problem might be on Junior Brother Li’s side and wanted to come back to check, but then Immortal Fairy informed me through a puppet that the source was not with Junior Brother Li. That’s why I didn’t come back and instead went to search for the user of the Time Dao Fruit.”

“A puppet?” Lu Yang wondered where this puppet had come from.

Wait, could it be the same puppet that had been bullying me since I began cultivating?

Is it possible to contact Eldest Senior Sister through that puppet?

“The three of us suspected that the user of the Time Dao Fruit had been forced to use it during a battle with someone. Unfortunately, we split up and none of us found any trace of an Immortal Battle.”

“Now that the person has stopped using the Time Dao Fruit, the leads have been cut off, so I’ve come back.”

“So that’s what happened.” Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, having thought that Eldest Senior Sister had encountered some trouble preventing her from coming back.

It’s good that there’s no trouble.

“Junior Brother.”

“What is it?”

Lu Yang looked up and saw Eldest Senior Sister raising her tea cup, “Congratulations on advancing to the mid-stage of Spirit Transformation.”
