Chapter 504 -503: The Imperial Teacher Who Was Bombed for 10 Days_1

“Does too much causality really affect cultivation?”

“Hard to say. I don’t think so, but others might.” Fairy Eternity shrugged, her views were often divergent from the general consensus.

“You remember the trait of the immortals as forgetting, don’t you? Don’t you think it has some similarities with the present context?”

Reminded by Fairy Eternity, Lu Yang realized that indeed it was so. In a way, an Immortal’s trait seemed as though a manifestation of cutting off causality.

“The trait of the Immortals… is there to sever causality?”

“You got it right. Yingtian Immortal and the others believe that by severing all causality, one’s cultivation level can advance further. However, I do not think so. I believe the more causality there is, the higher one’s cultivation level will be.”

“Advance further?”

Lu Yang seemed to have heard something incredible: “Can Immortals advance even further?”

“We used five Dao fruits for the calculation; theoretically, it is feasible. However, no one has succeeded, and no one knows whether it’s possible to take another step forward. Jiuchong Immortal was the first to become an Immortal, and at least none of us five had succeeded. Before that, no one else did, either.”

“The trait of the Immortals is actually a term used by Yingtian Immortal and the others. They were the first four to become immortals, and when they condensed their Dao fruits, they chose to forget on their Dao fruit’s features. Without my approval, they named this feature as the ‘Immortal’s trait.'”

“I was the last to attain immortality and I didn’t choose to forget when it happened, so I don’t have the Immortal’s trait.”

“So, the Immortal’s trait is not a necessity for an Immortal, but rather the result of the individual Immortal’s choice?”

“Right. Take the Immortal who holds the State Destiny, for example, he also chose the trait of forgetting.”

“But isn’t his Dao fruit related to the State Destiny and Great Xia? The causality on him is so profound, unparalleled. Why would he choose this path?”

“It’s simple. He wants to advance further and when the time comes, he just has to replace the subject of the cause and effect.”

“Didn’t you just mention the origin of the third leader’s statue? Originally, it was solid evidence of the third leader’s existence, causality was formed between the third leader and his statue. Now, this has been altered to the Master having dreamt about it, creating causality between the Master and the third leader’s statue.”

“The third leader set the goal to expand and strengthen his barbeque store. All actions by the store were conducted in line with this goal, causing causality between the third leader and all subsequent actions. Now, this has been altered to a goal set by the Master, meaning the Master now bears all the causality of these actions.”

“This is a demonstration of changing the bearing subject of the causality. Substitution is also a form of forgetting.”

Lu Yang vaguely grasped a clue, but Fairy Eternity said too much. It seemed like there were many clues, but he didn’t know where to begin.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s save the third leader first.”

“How do we save him?” Lu Yang was puzzled. He hadn’t even found any traces of the Immortal Eternity yet.

Fairy Eternity, hands on hips, directed Lu Yang: “Call Miss Yun over here. Since when does the Sect Leader do the work instead of the subordinates?”

Under the coercion of the Acting Sect Leader’s despotic power, Lu Yang had to go to Captive Peak to find Eldest Senior Sister.

Eldest Senior Sister was interrogating the Black and White Eminent at Captive Peak.

When Lu Yang arrived at Captive Peak, Eldest Senior Sister was whipping the Black and White Eminent, who seemed like an old man, but had a firm physique. Even though pained and shouting, he did not die from the whipping.

“Junior Brother, is there anything you need?”

Eldest Senior Sister paused, her whip created a hollow sound as it swung in the air, she folded it into three parts and held it in her hand with practiced ease.

“The thing is…”

Lu Yang explained what he had discovered, as well as Fairy Eternity’s inference.

The Black and White Eminent listened from the side, unpleasantly surprised. He’d secretly researched for his whole life without being able to figure out what the Imperial Teacher’s Dao Fruit Outline was. How could the other party ascertain it so easily?

From their words, does the Seek Dao Sect also have a Semi-Immortal? And the Imperial Teacher is fighting with him?

And why does Lu Yang, their target for this operation—who’s only at the Golden Core Stage—know these things?

What on earth is the Seek Dao Sect?

“Senior, please come out.”

Eldest Senior Sister asked Fairy Eternity to appear without any expression on her face. Fairy Eternity seemed like a child who had done something wrong, cowering upon seeing Eldest Senior Sister.

But she quickly reconsidered. She’s the Acting Sect Leader, what does she have to fear?

Eldest Senior Sister looked calmly at the downcast Fairy Eternity: “I believe I should have told you before. Lu Yang is still young and his cultivation level is not high enough. The affairs of Immortals and Dao fruits are too distant from him. You shouldn’t talk about these things too much, in case he becomes overambitious and it affects his cultivation. This time, you’ve said too much.”

“I was wrong.” Fairy Eternity, as the Acting Sect Leader, readily admitted her mistake when she was in the wrong.

“I wonder how you intend to find the Immortal Eternity who has had his causality erased?”

Eldest Senior Sister naturally remembered the existence of the Immortal Eternity too.

“Hehe, it’s not easy for others to find him, but it’s easy to find the third leader.”

Fairy Eternity gave a proud smile, a testament to the pride she had in her own Dao fruit. She instructed Lu Yang to take out the statue of Immortal Eternity that he had gotten from the barbecue shop, then she recited the third leader’s title and name.

“Immortal Eternity Sha Meless.”

…

In the temporarily constructed space, two figures were panting heavily.

“You’re really tough to deal with. What on earth is your Dao Fruit Outline?” Immortal Eternity possessed all the memories of the Eternity Sect’s followers. His memory was vast, but he knew nothing about combat of this level. Even till now, he couldn’t figure out the Imperial Teacher’s Dao Fruit Outline.

After ten long days of self-destruction, even with the Eternity Dao Fruit Outline, he still couldn’t hang in there.

If it was the complete Eternity Dao Fruit, no matter how many times he self-destructed, it would be fine. Unfortunately, the Eternity Dao Fruit Outline of Immortal Eternity had only been condensed half a year ago. It was still far from the complete Eternity Dao Fruit.

Being able to fight with the Imperial Teacher who had been condensing the Causality Dao Fruit Outline for ten thousand years and resist to this extent, was impressive enough.

Though Immortal Eternity was in a sorry state, the Imperial Teacher was in an even worse state. He couldn’t count how many times he had been exploded in ten days. Not one part of him was unscathed.

He had encountered stronger opponents before, but this was the first time he’d met such a tenacious opponent.

He had thought about fleeing halfway through, but once he vanished and wiped out the causality, the other party would self-destruct, causing the space to become unstable and preventing him from opening even a single rift.

“What luck! I directly ran into the true defender of the Seek Dao Sect!” Even the Imperial Teacher with his good temper couldn’t help but swear under such circumstances.

“True defender? I’ve only been at the Seek Dao Sect for half a year.”

“Half a year? You, as a Semi-Immortal, hid in such a small place? What’s so worthwhile here that made you stay? I admit I was wrong. I shouldn’t have attacked you. How about this, since we didn’t know each other before the fight, if you have nowhere to go, you can come to Great Yu. I can help you restore your flesh!”

The Imperial Teacher thought that the other party was staying here in order to restore his flesh. There was no need for them to fight to the death. They could collaborate.

Immortal Eternity looked at the Imperial Teacher with suspicion, feeling that the man seemed cunning: “I’m a prisoner. You’re even inciting me to escape?”

“A prisoner?”

The Imperial Teacher was horrified. Who could imprison a Semi-Immortal?

Suddenly, Immortal Eternity was startled, a small smile lighting up his face. He had sensed the call from the head leader.

Taking advantage of the Imperial Teacher’s momentary stupor, Immortal Eternity struck quickly, locking the Imperial Teacher in a firm grip.

The Imperial Teacher knew instantly that he was screwed. He had allowed him to get a chance for a close-range self-destruction!

In the past, when Immortal Eternity self-destructed, he relied on the Causality Dao Fruit Outline and distanced himself as far as possible.

If he had been exploded by a close-range detonation a few times, he would’ve been blown to death already.

Unexpectedly, Immortal Eternity did not choose to self-destruct. Instead, a spatial gateway appeared behind him. He backed into it, clutching the Imperial Teacher.

Thud.

The two Semi-Immortal powerhouses both tumbled into Captive Peak.

The Imperial Teacher looked bewilderedly at Eldest Senior Sister with her icy demeanor and Fairy Eternity who was grinning mischievously.
