Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 1050 - 1049 Time Immortal

When he saw the Time Seeking Immortal Order, Lu Yang paused for a moment.

What’s going on, is the Time Immortal nearby?

Lu Yang landed, and the Time Seeking Immortal Order grew hotter and hotter.

He looked around. After experiencing a series of self-detonations, the Western Paradise Temple had turned into ruins, only the Mahavira Hall, though swaying, had not collapsed.

Is there something strange about the Mahavira Hall?

Lu Yang walked straight toward the Mahavira Hall— the rising temperature of the Seeking Immortal Token confirmed his suspicion.

Master Mingyu muttered something bad under his breath and anxiously followed behind Lu Yang, "Venerable Immortal, Venerable Immortal, that place must not be approached."

Lu Yang turned a deaf ear, ignoring Master Mingyu’s persuasion, and walked to the entrance of the Mahavira Hall. A voice came from inside the hall.

"Mingyu, this man is an old friend of mine. I shall catch up with him; you go and take care of the aftermath."

"Yes." Hearing that voice, Mingyu’s attitude did a one-eighty: he no longer stopped Lu Yang and turned to leave.

Indeed, after the battle had just taken place, people were panicked—it really did require his presence to stabilize the people’s hearts.

Lu Yang’s heart beat sped up slightly as he heard the voice coming from inside the Mahavira Hall.

It was the voice of the Time Immortal; the Time Immortal was right here.

But if the Time Immortal was in the Mahavira Hall, why hadn’t Fairy Eternity discovered it before?

Lu Yang placed the Green Peak Sword into his Identity Jade and entered the Mahavira Hall.

Stepping inside, a fresh fragrance hit him—it was a blend of sandalwood and lotus scents. The space inside the hall was vast, with a huge Golden Body Buddha statue enshrined in the center. The statue was tens of meters tall, with a benevolent face and half-closed eyes, as if contemplating the truths of the world.

Around the Buddha statue were exquisite murals depicting the many stories of the Worldly Venerable. Each painting was lifelike and captivating.

The golden Buddha statue opened its eyes, stepped down from the lotus throne, and at the same time, its body shrank to the height of an ordinary person. Although its demeanor was still compassionate, the face had changed, looking to be only in the early twenties.

The golden Buddha statue looked Lu Yang over carefully, fixating on the wooden plaque on Lu Yang’s chest, "You have just used the Initial Form of Eternity Dao Fruit, where did you get it from?"

"Time, you’re still alive?!"

The voice of Immortal Fairy resonated from within Lu Yang’s body, and Immortal Fairy excitedly emerged.

The Time Immortal, seeing Immortal Fairy, was also extremely excited, "Immortal, you have really resurrected?"

"Yes, it was Little Yang... Lu Yang who resurrected me!"

Little Yang? The Time Immortal paused for a moment, what sort of strange appellation was this?

Then the Time Immortal looked solemnly at Lu Yang and expressed his heartfelt gratitude with two words, "Thank you."

"No, it’s nothing, just a coincidence."

Although every first meeting with Jiang Lianyi, Ao Ling, and Yingtian Immortal resulted in heavy thanks when they learned he had resurrected the Immortal Fairy, such treatment still made Lu Yang slightly uncomfortable.

"A mere coincidence is quite enough." They had strived for a hundred thousand years to achieve what Lu Yang had, and whether it was a fluke or not, it remained a tremendous favor.

Time Immortal glanced at the wooden plaque hanging from Lu Yang’s chest, and recalling the past, he sighed internally. Initially, through the time channel, he saw a part of himself on Lu Yang and speculated whether his future self would meet with disaster.

He was extremely cautious, yet his predictions still came to pass—he truly had met with disaster.

"By the way, Time, how are you still alive?"

The Time Immortal looked strangely at them. Was this a question one should ask upon first meeting?

However, considering Immortal Eternity’s personality, asking such a direct question did seem reasonable.

"How much do you know about the Fire Dynasty?"

"The Fire Dynasty? We’ve met Lianyi, Xiao Ling, and Ying Tian. We know quite a bit about the affairs of the Fire Dynasty now."

"You’ve met Ying Tian? Where is he now?"

"He lives inside an Ancient Ring Small World. The Ancient Ring is in the hands of a disciple from the Laurel Fairy Palace."

"I see. When I obtained the Sky Opening Axe, I thought something had happened to him. It’s good that he’s alive."

"Since you’ve met Ying Tian, then you probably know almost as much as I do about the affairs of the Fire Dynasty. He knows as much as I do, so there’s not much to talk about."

"I heard from Ying Tian that you were secretly attacked at the end of the Fire Dynasty era. Who did it?"

The Time Immortal shook his head lightly. "I don’t know. But it’s definitely one of the three of them. One among them was possessed by someone pulling the strings from behind the scenes!"

"You can use the Time Dao Fruit for time retrospection. How could someone secretly attack you?"

Like a scene from thirty thousand years ago, the Time Immortal slowly exhaled, his expression grave. "My Dao Fruit was tampered with, preventing me from performing time retrospection. I suspect that the hidden manipulator’s Dao Fruit is also related to time."

Immortal Fairy Eternity puzzled, "Also related to time? How is that possible? You possess a time-related Dao Fruit. How could they have one too?"

"That is unknown. It’s just a hunch. Perhaps other Dao Fruits could also have an effect on time retrospection."

"What happened afterward?"

"After the sneak attack, I was severely wounded. The Firmament Tree body was beyond recovery, so I had no choice but to abandon it. My soul performed astral projection, leaping thousands of years into the Great Qian Period. However, I didn’t stay in the Great Qian but chose to go to the Western regions instead."

The Nian Beast can leap through time, and naturally, the Time Immortal could as well.

"Without a physical body and only my soul remaining, if I encountered Silent Extermination Immortal or the hidden manipulator, I wouldn’t have the strength to fight back."

"To construct a true form, I established the Buddha Country in the Western regions and hid inside this Buddha statue in the Mahavira Hall of Western Paradise Temple. Only the abbots of successive generations knew of my existence."

"This Mahavira Hall was constructed using the Power of Incense and Fire, creating a Small World inside, capable of evading the perception of Silent Extermination Immortal."

The Mahavira Hall being brimming with incense is not unusual and wouldn’t raise suspicion.

"In the Buddha Country, I promoted that Buddhist cultivators should transform alms into building a Golden Body for the Buddha. Gradually, this became one of the methods for Buddhist cultivation."

"The act of Buddhist cultivators building a Golden Body for the Buddha would generate the Power of Incense and Fire. As the Buddha, I absorbed part of this incense power."

"At one point, I incidentally found the Sky Opening Axe belonging to Yingtian Immortal, which I used as the treasure of the Western Paradise Temple to conceal my existence."

"Whenever the Western Paradise Temple faced danger, I would predict the future and advise them to use the Sky Opening Axe at the most opportune time to overcome crises."

"I’ve observed that this Lu Yang’s Immortal’s Body is formed by the Power of Incense and Fire, but it cannot be maintained for long and cannot leave the Buddha Country."

"Such a body can’t withstand intense combat." Saying this, the Time Immortal paused for a moment, looking at Lu Yang with evident envy.

"Of course, that is assuming Lu Yang doesn’t possess the Initial Form of the Immortal Dao Fruit."

"I’ve been accumulating strength to shape a permanent Immortal Body."

"The accumulation of incense power is a lengthy process, and the waiting is rather dull. So, I randomly performed time leaps. It could be a few years, a dozen, or dozens of years. At each time node I leaped to, I had the abbot of Western Paradise Temple tell me about the events that had occurred over those years."

"Until just now, during a time leap, I sensed Master Ming Yu calling out to me, saying that the Western Paradise Temple was in grave danger. I also sensed fluctuations from the Time Dao Fruit Outline and the Initial Form of the Immortal Dao Fruit, which prompted me to jump to the current time node."
