Chapter 1114: Chapter 113: With such a treacherous courtier, how can the Great Bean Dynasty not fall!

Although Ying Tian Immortal temporarily didn’t plan to take action publicly, without Ashy Bean, he was able to leave the Ancient Ring small world.

With his cultivation level, no one would notice him.

Most importantly, he could freely control the power of the Tribulation Dao Fruit and manipulate the Heavenly Tribulation!

Ying Tian Immortal and Qinghe had been separated for three hundred thousand years, each with their own rich experiences.

However, these experiences were somewhat embarrassing to speak of, so there was no need to tell Qinghe.

Although Qinghe often followed Immortal Fairy during the ancient times, witnessing countless scenes of humiliation, her dignity had been lost. By the time of the Fire Dynasty, she was in a position of great power and prestige, desired by all.

Presumably, Qinghe’s impression of him during the hundred thousand years in the Fire Dynasty had already overshadowed the memories of ancient times.

What Ying Tian Immortal didn’t know was that on the way, Lu Yang had already finished telling the story of Ying Tian Immortal’s thirty hundred thousand years of hiding and seeking. Upon meeting Ying Tian Immortal, Qinghe pretended to be unaware of his experiences.

After bidding farewell to Ying Tian Immortal, Lu Yang set out for Buddha Country.

If there was a place Lu Yang enjoyed most these days, it was none other than Buddha Country.

Upon entering Buddha Country, Lu Yang summoned his immortal body, which was condensed from the faith of incense, and drove it with the Immortal Sense of Fairy Eternity.

"This state is most comfortable," he said.

With the immortal body, Lu Yang felt that he could change the world with a single thought, commanding the wind and summoning the rain – he was omnipotent.

"If only Old Meng were in Buddha Country," he thought regretfully. He was in his prime, the opportunity perfect. If Old Meng were here, he could have faced him one-on-one.

"Making grand vows and using the power of incense to condense the Immortal Body, then reinforcing it with the Eternity Dao Fruit Embryo?"

Qinghe was most proficient in the Cultivation method of incense faith. The Incense Fire Dao of the Fire Dynasty was created by her.

Qinghe saw through the origin of Lu Yang’s Immortal Body at a glance and did not stay idle; she sliced the Spirit Fruit into the shape of a little rabbit and offered it to the mouth of Immortal Fairy.

"Amm, delicious," Immortal Fairy opened her mouth and ate the rabbit-shaped Spirit Fruit. It tasted very good, indistinguishable from real Spirit Fruits even though it was transformed by Qinghe.

Immortal Fairy felt that having Little Lotus live in the Spiritual Space was wonderful; Little Yang was good to her, too, but not as attentive as Qinghe, at least not serving her like Little Lotus did.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yang was filled with heartache. As a historian, serving His Majesty in such a manner was demeaning. With such sycophants, how could the Great Bean Dynasty avoid falling!

Yet, His Majesty reveled in this, unaware. If he stated the truth directly, it would likely make His Majesty think it was out of jealousy towards a virtuous minister, leaving a bad impression. He had to find a way to persuade Immortal Fairy over time.

As Lu Yang pondered how to advise Immortal Fairy, he arrived at the Mahavira Hall of the Western Paradise Temple undetected.

The Western Paradise Temple had been rebuilt on the ruins of the old one with an entirely different layout, yet the position of the Mahavira Hall remained the same.

The sand sculpture of Western Paradise Temple that Lu Yang gave to Yun Mengmeng became a rare collector’s item.

Inside the Mahavira Hall, a golden Buddha statue yawned and lay sidelong on the Lotus Platform.

"Kid, you’ve come?"

The Time Immortal was not at all surprised by Lu Yang’s arrival.

"Hey, Time, we’re here."

"I have seen Time Immortal, Senior."

"Brother Time, long time no see."

Towards the end of the Fire Dynasty, after Time Immortal was ambushed, Qinghe knew that Time Immortal had not fallen.

Her Longevity Dao Fruit Embryo’s Upper Dao Fruit was the Time Dao Fruit and the Eternity Dao Fruit, so if Time Immortal fell, she would have sensed the extinction of suppression.

""""

Even though the Time Immortal might have perished, she would not have become an Immortal.

Her becoming an Immortal would mean that the Longevity Dao Fruit replaced both the Time Dao Fruit and the Eternity Dao Fruit, and the great one would never be able to be revived.

"Little Qinghe, it’s been a while since we last met," chuckled the Time Immortal. He’d been leaping through time since the end of the Fire Dynasty, and in his perception, not much time had passed since he last saw Qinghe.

"Please, take a seat."

The Time Immortal brought out three spare Lotus Platforms and invited the three to sit down.

"It seems that Fairy Eternity paid a heavy price to defeat the Silent Extermination Immortal, it could take two or three hundred years for her to recover," remarked the Time Immortal, unable to hold back a sigh upon seeing the weakened state of the Immortal Fairy.

"Cough cough..." The Immortal Fairy suddenly began to cough violently, "But it was worth it to save Little Yang."

"Fairy..." Lu Yang was deeply moved upon hearing this, not expecting to hold such significance in the fairy’s heart.

Lu Yang and the others reminisced for a while before taking their leave of the Time Immortal.

Mainly it was the Immortal Fairy and Qinghe catching up, with Lu Yang merely listening in.

After they left, the Time Immortal’s gaze sharpened as he recalled his last encounter with the Immortal Fairy.

Back then, upon foreseeing her future battle with the Silent Extermination Immortal, she knew she had to restore her physical body. Once her body was restored, there would be no reason for her to remain in the Spiritual Space, and that’s why she sought out Lu Yang for help while he was welcoming Yun Zhi.

After learning about the whole situation, he had helped the Immortal Fairy come up with the current solution.

Before leaving the Western Paradise Temple, Lu Yang also went to visit Xin Ding.

"Is Senior Brother Xin Ding still in seclusion?"

"I heard that as soon as Senior Brother Xin Ding went into seclusion, the number one of the earth list also hurried to seclude himself, worried that the Senior Brother might challenge his position after emerging."

"That’s terrifying."

"Considering Senior Brother Xin Ding’s gentle demeanor in daily interactions, who would have thought he ranks second on the earth list?"

Lu Yang smiled as he heard the monks’ comments about Xin Ding, noting that Xin Ding seemed to be doing quite well in the Western Paradise Temple.

In a single step, Lu Yang arrived at Xin Ding’s place of seclusion. Xin Ding had already concluded this phase of seclusion and was discussing his recent enlightenment’s deficiencies with the Heavenly Vault Saint Master.

It seemed that after he had left, the Heavenly Vault Saint Master of the Heavenly Vault Holy Land from Ancient Times had entered Xin Ding’s Spiritual Space as promised, becoming a support for Xin Ding’s cultivation.

"Hehe, little fellow, your progress in cultivation isn’t too bad, is it?" A golden deity, bathed in golden light and with an indistinct face, appeared before Xin Ding.

"Heavenly Venerate!" Xin Ding never expected to see the Tofu Heavenly Venerable again in his lifetime.

"Greetings, Heavenly Venerate," acknowledged the Heavenly Vault Saint Master, recognizing this being as a true Immortal, with a status far above his own Late Tribulation Stage.

"There’s no need for such formality," Lu Yang emitted a gentle light, which involuntarily relaxed both individuals.

"I was visiting Ying Tian and Time, and just thought I’d drop by to check how your cultivation is going."

"Judging now, your progress in cultivation is acceptable."

Hearing the Heavenly Venerate’s appraisal of him, Xin Ding secretly let out a sigh of relief; he was glad he hadn’t disappointed the Heavenly Venerate.

The Heavenly Vault Saint Master, however, was startled. To visit the Yingtian Immortal and Time Immortal—just who could this Tofu Heavenly Venerable be from Ancient Times?

Best not to ponder, he dared not speculate on the identity of the Heavenly Venerate.

Inside the Spiritual Space, Qinghe gave Lu Yang a sidelong glance: had he learned this from the Yingtian Immortal?

"My lord, just what exactly is this..."

"Heh, he’s a natural, isn’t Little Yang impressive?"
