Chapter 1279: Chapter 1278: Did Someone Forget Someone?

Even if the next Life Star is a lightyear away, Lu Yang would have to fly for several years.

"Fairy, do you have any methods that can make me fly faster?" It’s a bit late to start learning Flying Divine Power now, so Lu Yang decides to clutch at straws and ask the Fairy for advice.

"Of course, there is."

Lu Yang is delighted; he asked the right person, and there actually is a way.

"Just self-detonate, blow up your whole body, leaving just your head."

"The blast wave from the self-detonation will whoosh your head far away, and then your head will regenerate, turn back into a human form, and you can continue with self-detonation and regeneration."

"Just boldly use this method, and I guarantee you’ll fly faster than Yingtian Immortal and the others!"

"..."

Lu Yang feels he isn’t in such a hurry to rush on his way after all.

He sighs inwardly; had he known, he would have gone with Eldest Senior Sister and Sister Mengmeng.

He had previously been glad not to follow Eldest Senior Sister, having no one to control him, doing whatever he wanted, but he was happy too soon.

"Right, Vast Sea Ancestral Master is a Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype, he might have a way."

Lu Yang prepares to backtrack the way he came.

However, backtracking is still a big problem; it took him more than ten days to fly from the Cultivation World to this godforsaken place. It will take another ten days to fly back, which is too much of a time waste.

"There it is!"

Lu Yang has an epiphany, an idea strikes him.

"Trace Origin!"

He uses the Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype to backtrack his position to its original location.

Fairy Eternity senses the Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype trying to affect her. After pondering, she decides not to resist and lets the Trace Origin Dao Fruit Prototype influence her.

The scene changes, and in the next moment, Lu Yang and Fairy Eternity appear in the location they were at one day ago.

"Not a bad idea." Fairy Eternity has also been trace originated back with him.

"It really works."

Lu Yang is overjoyed; this makes the return trip much more convenient.

Although it’s only possible to trace origin back to one day’s location, it doesn’t matter; he can use the Dao Fruit Prototype a few more times.

"Trace Origin."

"Trace Origin."

Lu Yang successfully returns to the Cultivation World.

"Let’s go find Vast Sea Ancestral Master." He heads straight for the Seek Dao Sect.

...

Behind Sky Gate Mountain at Seek Dao Sect.

"He must have been kidnapped by now," Qinghe complains to Chasing Moon True Person, feeling aggrieved, "When they went to the universe, not a single one remembered to call for me."

She rarely leaves, and just on this rare occasion, within two to three days, it just so happened that Lu Yang left his retreat, taking Immortal Fairy with him to rush to Imperial City to break the seal.

Chasing Moon True Person kindly comforts her, using the Seven Emotions Dao Fruit Embryo so that Qinghe wouldn’t be too heartbroken: "Don’t worry, I think they’re just delayed by some matter, just like Guiyuan and the others wouldn’t forget me, they definitely won’t forget you."

"As long as you wait in Seek Dao Sect, they will come to find you for sure."

...

Lu Yang flies halfway, then decides to change his route on the spot, feeling that his chances of finding the Vast Sea Ancestral Master in the Dragon Palace are higher.

"Old Dragon Emperor." With Lu Yang’s status as a familiar face, he doesn’t need the shrimp soldiers and crab generals to announce his presence; he can directly find Old Dragon Emperor.

"Lu Yang, young friend, why have you returned so soon? Did you catch another member of our Sea Clan not following the rules?" Old Dragon Emperor is startled to see Lu Yang, worrying that their Sea Clan has caused trouble again.

"No, that’s not it. I’m here to ask if Vast Sea Ancestral Master is around?"

Old Dragon Emperor points to the ceiling: "At this moment, Vast Sea Ancestral Master and Senior Ao Ya should be on the island above Dragon Palace."

Lu Yang hesitates: "Would it be convenient for me to see them now?"

"It probably won’t come to making love under the open sky... right?" The Old Dragon Emperor didn’t sound very confident when he said this.

Lu Yang also thought it wouldn’t come to that. He bade farewell to the Old Dragon Emperor and flew toward the sea island, where he saw two seniors daydreaming about the future.

The two seniors were sitting on the grass, with Vast Sea Daoist Lord wrapping one arm around Ao Ya while pointing toward the sky.

"Xiao Ya, I plan to set our wedding venue in the cosmos, to let the myriad stars bear witness to our ceremony. Stars are eternal and unchanging, symbolizing that my love for you will never change either."

"Stop it, what are you saying?" Ao Ya blushed, too shy to look at Vast Sea Daoist Lord.

Lu Yang pretended not to see the couple and looked around shouting loudly, "Is the Ancestor here?"

Startled by the noise, the two quickly got up.

"Ancestor, so you’re here. I greet you, Senior Ao Ya."

Vast Sea Daoist Lord coughed twice: "Ahem, didn’t you leave to explore the outer realms? Why are you back?"

Lu Yang described the problems he was facing. Vast Sea Daoist Lord seemed to understand: "So the universe is so vast that even traveling becomes too much of a hassle?"

"Ancestor, you are skilled in the art of Space. Is it possible for you to teleport me to a location tens or even hundreds of light-years away?"

"That’s beyond my ability. I can only teleport you to places I’ve been to. I’ve never been beyond the borders, let alone hundreds of light-years away."

"Alright." Lu Yang was somewhat disappointed.

"However, you can go to the Land Money Trade Association to find the Thief Ancestor. He has the embryonic form of the Speed Dao Fruit; perhaps he has a way."

Lu Yang smacked his forehead, preoccupied with seeking the Vast Sea Ancestor; he had forgotten about the Thief King and Thief Ancestor, those two Semi-Immortals known for their speed.

"Farewell, Ancestor. I wish you a happy marriage." After saying this, Lu Yang immediately ran off, provoking Vast Sea Daoist Lord to roar.

"You little rascal, you heard everything just now!"

After Lu Yang left, Vast Sea Daoist Lord held Ao Ya and pondered deeply.

"What’s on your mind?"

"I’m thinking, if even Lu Yang finds it troublesome to travel, then the weaker cultivators in the Body Integration Realm and Transcendance Tribulation Stage must find it even more difficult."

"Maybe I could go beyond the borders to design several space transfer points to help them save a few days of travel."

"Still, if travel troubles you, those in the Body Integration Realm and Transcendance Tribulation Stage are bound to find it even more troublesome."

𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Ao Ya, being at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage herself, playfully pounced on Vast Sea Daoist Lord: "Today I’ll show you that those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage are even stronger than Semi-Immortals!"

...

Lu Yang arrived at the headquarters of the Land Money Trade Association in Imperial City. The headquarters were far busier than his previous visit, with cultivators of the Body Integration and Transcendance Tribulation Stages everywhere, exchanging and buying information, discussing their explorations into the outer realms. The White Horse Dynasty was mentioned most frequently of all.

"There’s no spiritual essence in the outside world, and the White Horse Dynasty has no cultivators. Doesn’t this mean the outside world isn’t as powerful as we imagined?"

"It’s still best to be cautious."

"Look, this is the Stargazing Map from the White Horse Dynasty’s astronomical department. I think we should head in this direction. Maybe we’ll find Life Stars."

"You’re pointing to a place with few stars. I think we should go this way; there are more stars over here."

"Stop arguing, everyone. I’ve consulted someone from the Heavenly Strategy Sect, and they predict that in this direction, we’re likely to find Life Stars."

The place had essentially turned into a temporary market. Some recognized Lu Yang and discussed this legendary cultivator through Spiritual Sense, their eyes filled with envy.

"Little Lu, over here." Lu Yang heard someone calling him.

Looking over, Lu Yang was surprised to find Ancestor Guiyuan, who was followed by three other people who seemed to have a good relationship with him.

"Ancestor Guiyuan, what brings you here? And who are these three seniors?"

Ancestor Celestial Master Guiyuan laughed heartily: "We’re preparing to venture into the outer realms together and stopped by the headquarters to see if there was any useful information."

"You may have heard of these three. This is Tiankui from the Five Elements Sect, this is Master Zheng De from the Suspension Temple, and the other is San Chi from the Prison Suppressing Sect."

Lu Yang respectfully greeted them; Mister Tiankui, Master Zheng De, and Heavenly Venerate San Chi, these three were founders of Immortal Sects!

He had heard from Old Meng that they were still alive, but this was his first encounter with them.

Master Zheng De, holding Buddha Beads, admired: "Guiyuan, you’re so fortunate. Not only did your sect produce the Vast Sea, but also Yun Zhi, and now there’s Lu Yang as well."

Such luck is really enviable.

Lu Yang counted the number of people present and was tempted to remind them that there were five founders of Immortal Sects altogether; wasn’t someone missing here?
