Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 743 - 742: Immortal

Chapter 743: Chapter 742: Immortal

Daoist Buyu was a cultivator with a firm spirit, and in order to meet the Vast Sea Daoist Lord, he stayed at the Seek Dao Sect for three whole days.

Unfortunately, Daoist Buyu’s sincerity did not move the Vast Sea Daoist Lord, who never showed up.

Having no choice, Daoist Buyu had to abandon this idea and, after instructing Lu Yang for three days, drifted away.

Lu Yang, who held his teacher and the Dao in high regard, waved goodbye to Daoist Buyu at the mountain gate.

Once Daoist Buyu was some distance away from the mountain gate and the Body Integration cultivators who had been waiting there for days saw their opportunity, they swarmed him, determined to execute the old thief Buyu on the spot.

The scene was incredibly chaotic.

...

Lu Yang was still young and could not bear the sight of parting and death. He held back his tears, silently turned around, and chose not to watch what happened behind him.

When he returned to Sky Gate Mountain, Lu Yang saw his Eldest Senior Sister whom he hadn’t seen for three days.

“Eldest Senior Sister, have you finished the interrogation?”

“It’s finished. As I said before, the matters of the Fire Dynasty are dangerous, and you should not get involved.”

The Eldest Senior Sister thought for a moment and felt that these words might not be enough to deter him, so she added, “Do you still remember the Time Termination Flower from the medicinal garden?”

Lu Yang nodded, as he certainly remembered the Little Medicinal King’s Time Termination Flower, which was a very beautiful flower. Legend had it that it would bloom in its most beautiful state only when the world was ending and all living beings were in turmoil, even stopping time in its tracks.

“I’ve always wondered why, according to historical records, there were no great events that could be described as the end of the world and the turmoil of all living beings. Yet, when the ancestors of our sect found the Time Termination Flower, it had already bloomed.”

“I originally thought the legend was wrong.”

“That was until just now, when I went to the medicinal garden and asked the Time Termination Flower some questions. I finally confirmed that it indeed bloomed at the time of the Fire Dynasty’s downfall.”

“Of course, the flower itself does not know this.”

“Do you understand? Only an Immortal can bring about the end of the world and the turmoil of all living beings, and it has to be a malevolent Immortal at that. This is not an existence you can afford to provoke.”

Lu Yang nodded like a chick pecking at grains. With his weak constitution, he definitely wouldn’t interfere with the affairs of the Fire Dynasty.

“By the way, Eldest Senior Sister, didn’t you say a long time ago that there are no immortals in this world?” Lu Yang suddenly asked. This was something that Eldest Senior Sister had mentioned casually when he was in his first year at the Seek Dao Sect and had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment, while he was cultivating on Sky Gate Mountain.

There were talk of the Five Ancient Immortals, as well as the Imperial Teachers, Emperor Qian, and Emperor Yu, not to mention several Immortals. How could it be said that there are no immortals in the world?

“The ‘Immortal’ I was referring to is not a cultivator who has condensed a Dao Fruit.”

“On this matter, Fairy Eternity should be able to understand.”

“An Immortal is someone who does not age, does not die, does not get born, does not get extinguished, and has no limits to their lifespan. They roam freely between heaven and earth, not bound by any rule. These are the words from ‘Words of the Saint’ and represent the original definition of ‘Immortal.’ This came about even before Immortal Jiuchong and others.”

Fairy Eternity emerged from within Lu Yang’s body, exemplifying her point, “Miss Yun is right; this is the original definition of an Immortal. Later, we gradually figured out the ‘Dao Fruit Outline’ and ‘Dao Fruit,’ and we started to call those who condensed a Dao Fruit as Immortals.”

Lu Yang instinctively nodded, then suddenly realized there was something off in Fairy Eternity’s words, “I see… wait a minute, Fairy, did you just say ‘we figured out the Dao Fruit Outline and Dao Fruit’?”

“Yes, the Dao Fruit Outline was something we of the Five Ancient Immortals created.”

“You remember that the Time Immortal’s true body is the Firmament Tree, right? His power is equivalent to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.”

“Why do you think he was at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage when I was in the Qi Cultivation Stage, still at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage when I reached the Nascent Soul Stage, and still the same when I myself reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage? Do you think he was unwilling to obtain the Dao Fruit Outline?”

Lu Yang vaguely realized some earth-shattering possibility, but still continued along with Fairy Eternity’s implication, “Why is that?”

Fairy Eternity chuckled, “Because he alone couldn’t derive the Dao Fruit Outline. Only when we reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and joined our efforts were we able to derive the Dao Fruit Outline.”

“Of course, it was mainly thanks to me. Immortals like Yingtian Immortal were just freeloaders.”

“Back then, when we carved out the Dao Fruit Outline and the Dao Fruit, when it came to naming it, we thought the title ‘Immortal’ was quite fitting, so we named those cultivators who possessed a Dao Fruit as Immortals.”

Lu Yang took a sharp intake of breath, so Fairy Eternity, you’re one of the founding figures of the cultivation system.

And her naming skills weren’t bad either, Lu Yang thought Fairy Eternity might suggest names like ‘Invincible Stage’ or something of the sort.

Fairy Eternity continued, “Based on the original definition of ‘Immortal’, indeed, no one in the world can truly be called an Immortal.”

Lu Yang decided that he should probably show more respect to Fairy Eternity going forward, considering she was not only a founding figure of the Dao Fruit but also the founder of Buddhism.

“Oh, the name ‘Immortal’ was Yingtian Immortal’s idea. My suggestions of ‘Invincible Stage’ and ‘Bean Stage’ were unanimously rejected by them.”

Fairy Eternity stomped her feet in frustration, “Since I made such a major contribution, what’s wrong with naming the realm after me? And they even opposed it, so infuriating!”

Lu Yang: “…”

Fairy, you could’ve left out those last two sentences.

…

Being someone who had seen much of the world with Fairy Eternity, Lu Yang soon calmed his inner turmoil after learning such shocking history, and he chose to continue his cultivation methodically.

He was still far from becoming an Immortal himself, so he didn’t dwell on such distant matters.

Time flies during cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, an hour had gone by with Lu Yang cultivating.

“Old Lu, want to go out and play?” Meng Jingzhou, who couldn’t stand to see Lu Yang cultivate, came to Sky Gate Mountain full of excitement, urging Lu Yang to go out and have fun, which was utterly annoying.

Fortunately, Lu Yang’s mind was as steady as an old Buddha in meditation, unswayed by external influences.

“Let’s go to the East Sea.”

“Let’s do it.” Lu Yang sprang up from the big rock.

His resolve was not firm, swayed by Meng Jingzhou’s incitement, a promising cultivator thus fell from grace, a situation that was truly lamentable.

“But why did you suddenly think of going to the East Sea?” Lu Yang asked puzzledly, reasoning there must be a motive behind it.

“Isn’t it because Old Ma comes from the dragon horse clan and his hometown is in the East Sea? He wanted to visit his relatives, and of course, I was all for it.”

“I was thinking, if Old Ma is going to the East Sea, then the two of us could take this opportunity to go together, especially since neither of us have ever been there.”

“Good brother.” Lu Yang was very moved. When it came to going out and having fun, Old Meng never forgot him.

In reality, Meng Jingzhou had another reason for going to the East Sea.

Lately, people had been calling him the strongest bachelor and encouraging him to stay single, saying his prospects were boundless. He couldn’t handle such flattery due to his thin skin, so he wanted to escape somewhere quiet.

The East Sea was a perfect place, far away and without acquaintances.

There was no need to mention this to Lu Yang; it would only lead to more praise from him, defeating the purpose of leaving.

“Just the two of us?”

“I was about to call Junior Sister Tao and the others. After all, it’s rare for us to travel far.”
