Chapter 1258: Chapter 1257: How Did Elder Brother Dai Take Sick Leave?

"Immortal Fairy, you just went through a battle, you must be very tired, don’t worry about it anymore."

"Ah? But I’m not tired yet..."

"We appreciate the thought, Immortal Fairy, please rest well."

"After all, Buddha Country is my territory, how could I let a guest cook? Fortunately, I have some offerings here..."

While speaking, Lu Yang picked up the last piece of cake, but when he saw Time Immortal looking at him, he guiltily put it back.

Earlier, while watching the battle among the three immortals, Lu Yang had enjoyed it while eating and watching.

Time Immortal: "..."

You really don’t see yourself as an outsider!

"I will have food prepared right away."

Time Immortal contacted Ming Yu through a mental message, asking him to bring out fine Spirit Food to celebrate.

Soon, various mushy dishes were laid in front of everyone, bubbling continuously, clearly freshly made.

Yingtian Immortal and the others silently looked at Time Immortal, what kind of stuff are you serving us?

Embarrassed, Time Immortal coughed twice and contacted Ming Yu again, I told you to bring Spirit Fruit cakes and the like, not these.

Fortunately, the atmosphere among the people gathered was the most important, not the food, so the harmony was quickly restored.

The Five Ancient Immortals reminisced about the past, laughing continuously, and influenced by the cheerful atmosphere, Lu Yang also laughed, occasionally chipping in a few words.

Immortal Jiuchong grew suspicious, "Little Friend Lu seems to be very familiar with our experiences in ancient times?"

Before Lu Yang could respond, Immortal Fairy proudly stepped forward and said, "Of course, I’ve told Little Yang everything about our ancient times!"

"For example, Jiuchong, in order to make people remember you were the first to become an immortal, spent massive amounts of Heaven and Earth Treasures to create a celestial phenomenon during your Crossing the Immortal Tribulation."

"Like Time, you asked me which among the world’s heroes could become immortals, criticizing everyone, claiming you were the first to achieve immortality and then you got beaten up."

"Like Qilin, the sword array you knelt on that softened upon touch was crafted by Yingtian Immortal."

Immortal Fairy counted on her fingers as she recalled what she had told Lu Yang, and with every incident, one person’s expression dramatically changed.

Only Yingtian Immortal remained unperturbed and unfazed.

Lu Yang suddenly felt the once merry atmosphere had somewhat shifted.

Time Immortal stood up, approached Lu Yang with a chuckle, "Little Friend Lu, reviving Immortal Fairy is indeed a great merit, let me toast to you."

There’s no wine in Western Paradise Temple, so Time Immortal was holding a bowl of mush.

Although it was a gesture of thanks, Lu Yang found Time Immortal’s gaze somewhat menacing.

"Little Friend Lu, I toast to you as well."

"I toast too."

Immortal Jiuchong and Qilin Immortal got up one after another, taking turns toasting Lu Yang with mush, which made Lu Yang’s hands tremble as he held his bowl.

Fortunately, Yingtian Immortal had already reckoned with Lu Yang and was no longer holding a grudge, kindly diverting the topic, "By the way, Little Friend Lu, have you encountered anything interesting outside of Box World?"

"Yes, yes, tell us, what is it like outside Box World now?"

The others were also very curious.

Lu Yang’s expression was a bit odd, "It’s not exactly fun, initially I was just going to the hospital, seeing the doctor... and encountered a zombie crisis... Later, I found that the crisis was orchestrated by a place called Candle Sky Civilization..."

Lu Yang honestly shared his experiences before coming to the Box World, and the immortals listened with great interest, finding the outside world very different from what they had imagined.

"Should we undo the seal and open the box?" Immortal Jiuchong suggested.

They refined stars into continents to resurrect Fairy Eternity and to prevent the hidden hand from escaping.

Now that Fairy Eternity had been resurrected and Yao Saint had been executed, there was no need to continue the seal.

Having come from ancient times, they knew how vast the starry sky was, but the people of the Box World did not know; this was an opportunity to show them the real starry sky.

And they had thought that when they set the seal, they had gathered all beings in the universe. According to what Lu Yang had said, there were still beings outside, probably in remote areas that were not included in the collection range.

"Sure, I have no objections."

"I agree."

"I agree too."

The Four Ancient Immortals each stated their position,

"It’s great. Once we’re out, let’s help Little Yang find his original planet and by the way, look for my North Star," said Fairy Eternity cheerfully.

In fact, the Mid-Heaven Emperor Lord had always misunderstood the seal. Unsealing it required the joint efforts not just of the Four Ancient Immortals but of the Five Ancient Immortals.

Lu Yang felt a tingling in his heart; he wanted to see the outside world too. When he first came to the Cultivation World, he thought he would never see his past life again. Since there was no chance, he stopped thinking about his past life and enjoyed this hard-won life.

Who would have known that just outside the Box World was his own world, and there were many things there he still cared about, like how Blue Star and the Candle Sky Civilization were doing.

"However, since it involves completely unsealing, it’s not urgent at this moment; there’s still a lot of preparation to be done."

Lu Yang spoke seriously. Although he wanted to visit the outside world, such matters could not be rushed.

Unsealing and opening the Box World would be a significant upheaval for the entire Cultivation World, especially for those cultivators who could traverse the cosmos. Great Xia might be manageable since various cultivators there tended to follow rules, but not those from Buddhism, the Demon Territory, or the East Sea; cultivators and demons there would swarm out upon hearing this news.

Approaches to publicity, response plans, behavior norms, etc., all needed to be considered.

Let’s not talk about remote concerns; one could not simply sit down, have a meal, and decide to unseal, then unseal after finishing the meal.

At the very least, they needed to give advanced notice to Eldest Senior Sister, Jiang Pingan, and others.

"That makes sense, let’s take it one step at a time," the Immortals such as Yingtian Immortal laughed, as they were not short of time.

As everyone had almost finished eating, Fairy Eternity asked, "What are your plans? Do you want to come visit our Seek Dao Sect?"

"Sure."

Yingtian Immortal and Immortal Jiuchong had visited the Seek Dao Sect before, and Time Immortal had also hurried over once to look for Fairy Eternity and Yun Zhi after the timeline changed. Qilin Immortal, however, had never visited.

Before leaving Western Paradise Temple, Lu Yang visited Xin Ding; Xin Ding was very suited to Buddhism, progressing step by step in cultivation and had already made a great name in Buddha Country. Lu Yang felt that given Xin Ding’s talents, it would not be a problem for him to become the new Abbot in time.

He then left with peace of mind.

A group of six, including five Immortals and one in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage—rounded up, that’s six Immortals.

Six Immortals traveling together reached unparalleled speeds and soon arrived at the Seek Dao Sect.

"Elder Brother Dai, I’ve brought a few guests to visit our Sect..."

Lu Yang confidently went to the Task Hall and pushed open the door to Dai Bufan’s room, only to find it empty.

Upon inquiring, he learned that Dai Bufan had taken sick leave, which Lu Yang regretted, as having the Four Ancient Immortals visit the Seek Dao Sect was a magnificent event. How could Elder Brother Dai miss out on such fortune?

He had no choice but to take the Five Ancient Immortals to Sky Gate Mountain to find Eldest Senior Sister.

"Eldest Senior Sister, I heard Elder Brother Dai is on sick leave. What happened to him? I’d like to visit him."

Yun Zhi raised her eyelids, also puzzled.

"He’s sick? He was fine when I spoke to him just now."

"What did you talk about with him?"

"Nothing much, just that Jiuyou Sect and Yaoyang Sect surrendered to Junior Brother Man. I’ve captured the Mid-Heaven Emperor Lord. The Four Ancient Immortals refined stars into continents to deal with Yao Saint, and I helped the Ancient Immortals handle Yao Saint. The Four Ancient Immortals should be visiting our Sect soon, so I told him to prepare."

Yun Zhi thought for a moment, "That’s it, just these things."
