In ancient times, the Time Immortal seldom faced defeat, primarily because he could foresee the future, knowing whether his chances of winning or losing a battle were higher.

This ability was praised by Fairy Eternity as the "Great Invincible Pill"!

After viewing all possible futures, the Time Immortal burst into a cold sweat and cursed Ming Yu for being unreliable under his breath.

"The true Sect Leader of Seek Dao Sect? With such an astonishing cultivation level, saying she is the real ruler of Great Xia would be more like it!"

Thinking this, a smile piled upon the Time Immortal’s face, which already bore a Buddha-like serenity, becoming even more benevolent.

"I have known Fairy Eternity for a very long time, how could I not believe her words?"

"She said you are the strongest in the world, you definitely are the strongest in the world!"

The Time Immortal altered the future merely through his words without anyone noticing, a testament to his formidable power!

"So you’re saying I am truly the strongest in the future?" Lu Yang pointed at himself, rather excited, though the future was elusive, if it were evaluated by the Time Immortal who controlled time, then that future seemed quite credible.

"Of course, Lu Yang, my young friend, you are indeed the strongest in the future," the Time Immortal affirmed, now ready to dispute with anyone who denied Lu Yang’s supremacy.

"You possess the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit, and possess an Immortal’s Body; thus, you are no longer merely at the Divinity Transformation Stage, but have created a completely new realm—Immortal Transformation Stage!"

"Creating something out of nothing, crafting realms, these are acts only the ancient sages could achieve!"

Lu Yang gasped, was he really that strong?

Eldest Senior Sister was very curious about the experiences of the Time Immortal over the past three hundred thousand years, so the Time Immortal had no choice but to recount once again how he had jumped through time over the years.

"The techniques of Elder Time Immortal are truly wonderful."

Facing Yun Zhi’s praise, the Time Immortal could only offer an embarrassed smile.

"Then would Elder Time Immortal like to visit our Seek Dao Sect?" Lu Yang invited.

"No, Western Paradise Temple has just undergone a great battle, unforeseeable incidents might occur, I will stay in the Mahavira Hall as a precaution," replied the Time Immortal.

"Please also keep my existence a secret for now, to prevent any accidents."

"What about Yingtian Immortal then..."

"There’s no need to meet him or to let him know of my presence. Yingtian’s nine-layered Kirin, I trust none of them now."

Upon saying this, the Time Immortal paused, "However, you can give this Sky Opening Axe back to Yingtian Immortal; I’ve borrowed it for three hundred thousand years, it’s time to return it."

Lu Yang awkwardly said, "Ah, Yingtian Immortal forged himself a new weapon, he seems not to need the Sky Opening Axe anymore."

"Is that so, then I shall continue to keep it safe for him," the Time Immortal took the Sky Opening Axe handed over by Lu Yang.

In case of another unforeseen event at Western Paradise Temple, this Sky Opening Axe could still mask his presence.

"There’s one more thing, how is Tang Chuanwu, that boy?"

"We were worried about him facing another accident, so he now lives in our Seek Dao Sect."

"I remember he has no Spirit Root," the Time Immortal noted as he picked up several different Spirit Fruits from the altar.

These were offerings in Mahavira Hall, each Spirit Fruit’s value was immeasurable.

"Give him these fruits in the order I prepared for you, they should help him develop a Postnatal Golden Spirit Root."

"I thank Elder on behalf of Chuanwu," Lu Yang said.

"It’s a trivial matter."

Lu Yang and his companions bid farewell to the Time Immortal and left the Mahavira Hall, while the Time Immortal waved them goodbye.

After sending off the three, the Time Immortal looked at the severely damaged Western Paradise Temple and muttered to himself quietly.

"Lu Yang sure did a thorough job blowing it up; I wonder when Western Paradise Temple will be repaired."

...

"Won’t the Heavenly Venerate return again?" During the quiet of deep night, Xin Ding tossed and turned on his bed, his mind full of the day’s battle.

During the chaos of the battle, no one noticed that the Green Peak Sword had flown out from behind him.

After that battle, Heavenly Venerate disappeared and never showed up again.

Suddenly, his tent lit up with specks of golden light, which converged to form a golden silhouette.

"Little monk, still not asleep at this hour?"

"Heavenly Venerate!"

Tofu Heavenly Venerable stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky, his eyes filled with the vicissitudes of life, "Ultimately, Western Paradise Temple turned into ruins because of my emergence, but through this battle, my causality is dissolved, and I no longer have a reason to stay."

"Heavenly Venerate, may I go with you?" Xin Ding looked at Tofu Heavenly Venerate reluctantly. Although they had been together for only a few months, Xin Ding had already come to regard Tofu Heavenly Venerable as his master.

Tofu Heavenly Venerable shook his head: "Little monk, you are naturally attuned to Buddhism. If you were to follow my Taoist sect, it would only hold you back. Staying at Western Paradise Temple is the best choice for you."

"If you diligently cultivate, there may yet be a time when you see me again."

With that, Tofu Heavenly Venerable turned again into specks of golden light and disappeared.

Lu Yang arrived at the gates of Western Heaven City and met up with Eldest Senior Sister and Second Senior Brother.

"All set?"

"All set, let’s head back."

Ye Zijin curiously circled around Lu Yang, "Junior Brother, have you really become an immortal?"

He still hadn’t figured out how his junior brother had changed like this.

"Only in the Buddha Country, and even then, it’s not truly becoming an immortal," Lu Yang said modestly.

When Lu Yang left Buddha Country, he left both the Immortal’s Body and the Eternity Dao Fruit Outline behind. If he returned to Buddha Country, he could become an immortal again at any time.

Although somewhat reluctant, he could not stay in Buddha Country forever.

"Back to the sect!"

Lu Yang spoke with his chest puffed out and his head held high, displaying great vigor. This trip to Buddha Country had been fertile; he had found the Sky Opening Axe and Time Immortal, gained the Immortal’s Body, and captured Si Chen God Lord. It was not an exaggeration to call him a great hero who had saved Buddha Country.

Then Lu Yang stealthily crossed the border and returned to Great Xia.

He had been taken out of Great Xia by the Nian Beast, with no exit records.

Lu Yang returned to the familiar Seek Dao Sect and relaxed.

Though Buddha Country was delightful, Seek Dao Sect felt more comfortable.

"Eldest Senior Sister, see you in a bit!" Lu Yang briefly turned around for a farewell and headed straight for the Task Hall.

With such significant events happening in Buddha Country, including capturing Si Chen God Lord, how many contribution points could he gain?

In the room, Dai Bufan held some intelligence and rubbed his chin thoughtfully, hearing the familiar knock at the door.

"Elder Brother Dai, are you in?"

"It’s Junior Brother Lu, come in."

Lu Yang entered, beaming with a spring-like demeanor, in stark contrast to the thoughtful Dai Bufan.

"Junior Brother Lu, your timing is perfect," Dai Bufan waved Lu Yang over.

"I just received intelligence that Si Chen God Lord attacked Western Paradise Temple, but was defeated by a suddenly appearing Mysterious Immortal. Eldest Senior Sister mentioned that you have quite a connection with the immortal. Do you know who this Mysterious Immortal is?"

"I do."

"You really know?" Dai Bufan was surprised; he had asked without much hope, but Junior Brother actually had an answer?

"Who is it?"

Proudly pointing at himself, Lu Yang said, "It’s me."

"Huh?" Dai Bufan was full of question marks, failing to understand the meaning of Lu Yang’s statement, or rather, with his comprehension, he could not grasp what Lu Yang meant.

Seeing Elder Brother Dai’s disbelief, Lu Yang produced a Recording Orb, showing the first-person perspective of his battle with Si Chen God Lord.

With a broad smile, Lu Yang shared the joyful news with his respected Elder Brother Dai:

"Elder Brother Dai, I’ve become an immortal."
