Chapter 539: Chapter 538: Housewife_1

    There had always been a question that had been bothering Lu Yang.

    Even though merely reading the name of Fairy Eternity could resurrect her, why was it that it wasn’t until three hundred thousand years later that she was inadvertently resurrected?

    Referring to the method of the Imperial Teacher’s Causality Dao Fruit, the person who assassinated Fairy Eternity might have used a similar method, erasing the world’s impression of Fairy Eternity.

    But, would this method also work on immortals?

    No one could be certain of that.

    Right now, the body of the Time Immortal is buried underneath the Wood Vein, her immortal soul has gone missing, leaving her fate unknown.

    Given the state of the Time Immortal, what would the Yingtian Immortal, Immortal Jiuchong, and Qilin Immortal be facing? What roles did they play in the fall of the Time Immortal? Were they murderers or victims?

    “Fairy, do you not remember at all what happened just before your fall? Any characteristics of the killer?”

    Fairy Eternity furrowed her brows, striving to recollect the events of that time.

    “My memories of that period are all very hazy. All I recall is that I was sleeping that day. In my drowsiness, I felt my soul lifting, feeling very comfortable, like it was melting. I don’t remember anything after that. When I woke up later, it was when you called out my name, and my soul reformed, successfully resurrecting.”

    Lu Yang sighed, it seemed that he couldn’t get any information from Fairy Eternity.

    Fairy Eternity, who claims to be the first among the Five Immortals of the Ancients, certainly had notable abilities and couldn’t have been attacked without any reaction. Either the attacker was too powerful, or something was wrong with Fairy Eternity’s state.

    “They are free to kill me, but to not spare the Time Immortal and the others, I’d better not find out who did this, or I’ll beat them to death!” Fairy Eternity said angrily. It didn’t matter if she died once. Over the long years, there would always be someone who happened to call out her name. However, the Time Immortal was different. Her main body was buried here. Chances of survival seemed slim.

    In consolidating the Eternity Dao Fruit, the Time Immortal had given her much help, and this favor could not go unrequited.

    “Upon returning, tell Eldest Senior Sister about this matter and let her make the decision.” Lu Yang was dejected, regretting that he was temporarily unable to help Fairy Eternity.

    “Since the Time Immortal’s condition is unknown, how is the Firmament Tree still showing signs of life?” Lu Yang pointed to the wooden plaque he had just received.

    Fairy Eternity looked at the shadow of the Firmament Tree she had constructed with a complicated expression and sighed lightly, “A unique object like the Firmament Tree can gradually recover its vitality and complete the transformation from death to life as long as there is a tiny bit of residue left. This can be considered a different type of resurrection, but then it is a completely new Firmament Tree, and it has nothing to do with the Time Immortal.”

    “The Firmament Tree beneath our feet is gradually regenerating. In a few tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, the Firmament Tree will completely resurrect and erupt from the ground, growing into a new towering Firmament Tree.”

    “That tree Shangguan Yu was standing near earlier, it shouldn’t have grown this tall. It was influenced by the life force of the Firmament Tree. If I am not mistaken, the roots of that tree are very close to the Firmament Tree.”

    “The Time Immortal had also mentioned that in the past, the Firmament Tree encountered a great catastrophe, was cut off at the waist, and lost all its vitality. A new Firmament Tree grew out of the old Firmament Tree, and this is it.”

    “All right, that’s enough sightseeing for you kids today. Have a rest tonight.” Shangguan Yu clapped her hands and let Bai Ming take them to their accommodations. They would start to study the “Five Elements General Outline” the next day.

    Although she didn’t detect the existence of the Time Immortal’s body under the Wood Vein, she knew how precious the Firmament Tree was. She wouldn’t just share it with anyone. She felt that these five individuals were bound to achieve great things in their future cultivation, leaving a significant mark in history. She was here to cultivate a good relationship with the younger generation.

    The accommodations arranged by the Five Elements Sect were at the intersection of the Five Veins, which was equivalent to Qiu Jin’an’s territory, a position that could be compared to Sky Gate Mountain.

    “Oh my, you’re back. I haven’t seen you in a long time, Sect Leader Lu.” A familiar voice chuckled, teasing Lu Yang.

    As soon as Lu Yang looked up, he saw Lin Shaoyou, the top disciple of Qiu Jin’an, with his Wood Spirit Root. He was at the early stage of Unification but had combat power comparable to that of the late stage. He was of the same genius level as Senior Brother Dai Bufan.

    During the last visit of the Five Elements Sect to the Seek Dao Sect, it was Acting Sect Leader Lu who had entertained Lin Shaoyou.

    Lin Shaoyou had assumed that the Eldest Senior Sister was still the Acting Sect Leader, so he had proposed challenging someone of his generation. But when the Eldest Senior Sister silently stepped forward, Lin Shaoyou retreated quietly, and the matter was dropped.

    “Greetings, Senior Brother Lin,” the five of them bowed and saluted.

    “Alright, don’t be so stiff. Relax. I just came out to get some fresh air because I got tired of practicing my magic skills. I happened to see you guys returning, so I came to greet you.”

    “Eh? Did the teacher give you wooden plaques?” Lin Shaoyou noticed the wooden plaques hanging on the chests of the six.

    Bai Ming’s face changed drastically, and he quickly pulled away Lu Yang and the others.

    Lu Yang and the others didn’t understand but obediently kept their distance.

    With a crack, a startling thunderclap resounded and Lin Shaoyou was struck, his exterior charred and his insides tender, his body emitting black smoke.

    Bai Ming explained in a low voice, “Senior Shangguan really hates being called old. If anyone knowingly offends this rule, their fate will be this.”

    “Ahem, it’s nothing, a small matter.” The charred corpse came back to life, its eyes glittering.

    A faint crack was heard, and countless cracks appeared on the surface of the charred corpse. Lin Shaoyou calmly walked out of the corpse as if nothing had happened at all – even his clothes were brand new.

    Bai Ming explained again in a low voice, “Eldest Senior Brother’s clothes are synthesized from leaves grown from his body, which are then transformed into clothes. It’s a process most people can’t see clearly. I only figured it out when our master explained it.”

    Meng Jingzhou’s eyes lit up. Lin Shaoyou was of the same generation as Dai Bufan, in other words, of the same generation as Eldest Senior Sister, and they were not in the Seek Dao Sect.

    “Brother Lin, how old are you this year….”

    Before he could finish, Lu Yang suddenly reacted, covering Meng Jingzhou’s mouth from behind and dragging him back.

    “Don’t drag all of us into your death wish.”

    The others looked at each other in confusion, not understanding Lu Yang’s sudden reaction.

    Lin Shaoyou directly asked, “Does Junior Brother Meng have a question to ask?”

    “No, nope, he was just sleep talking,” Lu Yang answered on behalf of Meng Jingzhou.

    “By the way, Eldest Senior Brother, weren’t you mastering a new magic skill not long ago? Why are you still practicing magic skills?”

    “Heh, heh, considering how talented I am, if I have new ideas and learn a new magic skill, that’s perfectly normal, right?”

    “So, what are you practicing this time?”

    “I am combining Tree Growing Spell and Draw the Ground into a Prison to increase the strength of Draw the Ground into a Prison. It’s a bit complicated to explain. Why don’t I just show you.”

    Lin Shaoyou took out a few tree seeds from his bosom, spread them around as he spun in a circle. The seeds hit the earth and took root instantly. They grew rapidly around him, the branches and leaves twisting inward to form a bird cage.

    The trees emitted a metallic sheen, very similar to a tree that has grown from a golden meridian.

    “Look, like this.” Lin Shaoyou punched the iron tree and it did not budge a bit. He then stomped on the ground, also to no effect.

    The roots below formed a unified whole, unbending and extraordinarily firm.

    “That’s amazing,” praised Bai Ming. This skill alone could catch someone off guard and trap anyone on the same level.

    “Eldest Senior Brother, you seem to be executing this pretty smoothly. Why are you practicing further? Is there something lacking?”

    “There’s a minor issue with this combined magic skill that I haven’t been able to overcome.”

    “What is it?”

    “I don’t know how to cancel it voluntarily.”

    Bai Ming: “…..”

    Bai Ming slowly raised his hand, forming a fist, “Take care, Eldest Senior Brother!”

    Bai Ming signaled everyone to leave. Lin Shaoyou sighed, it seemed like he could only rely on himself now.

    “Help, master!”

    Boom, boom, boom —

    Three thunderbolts descended, but Lin Shaoyou remained unharmed.

    “Huh? What’s the logic behind this?”
