Chapter 556: Motivation and Explanation
Chapter 556: Motivation and Explanation
"Did the second senior brother have another reason for wandering in the Buddhist Kingdom?"
Lu Yang was taken aback. He had thought that the second senior brother had offended the eldest senior sister and was exiled thirty thousand miles west, forced to beg in the Buddhist Kingdom, impersonating a Buddha statue in a temple, living a pitiful life.
It turned out he had overthought it.
"Unfortunately, after all these years, he hasn't found any useful clues. Instead, he's been deported back several times and had to sneak back each time," the eldest senior sister shook her head regretfully. It was truly difficult for an immortal who controlled time to find clues about himself.
Perhaps I should visit the Five Elements Sect and closely observe the Holy Tree.
"Since the Holy Tree has regained its vitality, if the Time Immortal is still alive, could he possibly return to inhabit the tree?"
Immortal Fairy nodded, "It's possible. After all, it's hard to reconstruct an immortal body, so if he can use his original body, he would."
"There's something else. I encountered Heavenly Immortal Ying and the others in the Immortal Realm of the Five Elements Sect."
"What happened? Please elaborate," the eldest senior sister was on high alert. How did Lu Yang and the senior gain so much from just one visit to the Five Elements Sect?
Immortal Fairy detailed her experiences in the Immortal Realm, focusing on the Time Immortal opening a time-space passage and conversing with her. Of course, she was unaware that Heavenly Immortal Ying and Kylin Immortal played Gomoku to avoid eating.
Yun Zhi frowned slightly.
"When I entered the Immortal Realm, there was no historical reflection. I didn't expect such significant matters to be hidden in a game of chess."
Lu Yang was puzzled. According to Immortal Fairy, those who could comprehend something from the game would see historical reflections. How could the eldest senior sister not see them?
Immortal Fairy rolled her eyes, thinking Lu Yang was hopeless without her guidance, "Heavenly Immortal Ying lets future generations see historical reflections for prestige. Little Yun is on par with this Immortal, so what's the point of her seeing historical reflections?"
Lu Yang thought it made sense. Even if the eldest senior sister realized something, she wouldn't be too surprised by Heavenly Immortal Ying's methods.
"Compared to Heavenly Immortal Ying, who was a strategist among the five ancient immortals, his actions are well thought out."
"What nonsense are you talking about? The strategist is, of course, this Immortal. Could Heavenly Immortal Ying and the others be smarter than this Immortal?"
"If they were as smart as this Immortal, they would have thought of teaming up to secretly eliminate this Immortal and then revive me in the future. Wouldn't that solve everything?"
Lu Yang: "..."
I must admit, that's a method, but it's not something a normal person would think of.
"I thought you would say the four immortals informed your past self of the conversation, and your past self committed suicide to prevent being killed."
"That's plan B." Immortal Fairy was meticulous and thorough, never considering just one method.
Yun Zhi, as if not hearing the internal discussions of the Immortal lineage, analyzed, "It's a fact that you were assassinated. The other four immortals, knowing from you that you would be killed, must have prepared something. If it's not on you, then it's on themselves, a backup plan to save their lives."
"So, the four recorded ancient immortals might still be alive, and the Time Immortal is no exception. Are they hiding behind history because they're in a bad state, or is there another reason?"
"From the fact that neither of you could hear anything about the senior in the historical reflection and the time-space passage was interrupted, it seems another force is preventing all this."
The Time Dao fruit, no matter how weak, wouldn't just convey five words, and the Time Immortal himself mentioned something was interfering.
"It seems a force has altered history, preventing future generations from obtaining information about the senior from history."
The signature on the Immortal Recipe changed from "Immortal Fairy" to "Heavenly Immortal Ying," and when the ancient immortal spoke, "Immortal Fairy" was replaced with "Time Immortal," all proving this point.
"It seems the information in ancient texts can't be fully trusted; some parts have been altered."
"To achieve this, it must be a Dao fruit like the Dao fruit of causality, the Dao fruit of fate, the Dao fruit of consciousness, or the Dao fruit of words becoming law."
The eldest senior sister murmured to herself, glancing at Lu Yang, thinking he was still young and shouldn't be exposed to too much of this, so she stopped speaking.
Lu Yang thought, could the eldest senior sister either not speak or finish what she started? What's the point of stopping halfway?
He only knew about the Dao fruit of causality, and its specific abilities could be deduced from the second-generation national teacher.
The Dao fruit of causality could deceive the heavens and cross the sea, even making immortals forget about you!
Only an immortal could kill an immortal. Was the eldest senior sister implying there was a sixth ancient immortal, who mastered the Dao fruit of causality and erased their own presence?
The other three Dao fruits must have similar effects!
If there truly was a sixth ancient immortal, Immortal Fairy was powerful, and the sixth immortal's Dao fruit must greatly restrain Immortal Fairy!

Lu Yang secretly sought help from Immortal Fairy, who surely knew the functions of these Dao fruits.
What he didn't know was that as he looked at Immortal Fairy, the eldest senior sister also gave Immortal Fairy a warning look.
Immortal Fairy also felt Lu Yang shouldn't know too much and resolutely refused to explain what these Dao fruits could do.
"Speaking of which, what was the motive for the mastermind behind the scenes to kill the fairy?"
This was something Lu Yang couldn't figure out. Assuming the other party mastered the Dao fruit of causality, but Immortal Fairy was uncontentious and had close ties with the four recorded ancient immortals. Killing Immortal Fairy would surely provoke the four recorded ancient immortals. What reason would there be to provoke such a formidable enemy at the risk of one's own life?
"Motive... reason..."
"Motive... reason..."
"There must be a reason, something concerning their own interests..."
Suddenly, he understood something, his eyes gleaming with excitement, "Could it be a devouring type of Dao fruit? The more Dao fruits devoured, the stronger the power?"
"Let's tentatively name this Dao fruit the Devouring Dao fruit."
"If there weren't five ancient immortals but seven, with the sixth being the Dao fruit of causality and the seventh being the Devouring Dao fruit, the seventh devoured the sixth, gained the ability of the Dao fruit of causality, and concealed their existence."
"The seventh ancient immortal, in pursuit of strength, targeted Immortal Fairy, secretly attempting to devour the Immortal Dao fruit to become an undying existence. But something went wrong, like the four recorded ancient immortals arriving in time, preventing the seventh from succeeding!"
"This also explains the existence of the Immortal Sect. He established the Immortal Sect to devour the embryonic form of the Immortal Dao fruit!"
Everything made sense!
Immortal Fairy excitedly patted Lu Yang's shoulder, feeling this was the truth, "Makes sense!"
Yun Zhi interrupted their conversation, "Alright, Junior Brother, don't get too involved in this matter. It's too dangerous. What you need to do now is focus on your cultivation."
"Okay."
