Chapter 734: Chapter 733: Questions and Answers

Master of All Laws wished he could become an Immortal right then, solidify the longevous Dao Fruit, reverse time, and return to yesterday, firmly deciding not to enter the Seek Dao Sect

What kind of godforsaken place was the Seek Dao Sect? He had lived for two hundred thousand years, and this was the first time he’d heard of Immortals being killed off!

Being able to kill Wu Yao meant that Yun Zhi was definitely an Immortal.

There was also this unnamed female Immortal with an Immortal Dao Fruit.

Adding them up, the Seek Dao Sect had two Immortals.

...

With such strength, why bother being one of the Five Great Immortal Sects? Why not just straight up replace Great Xia?

“Replacing Great Xia, that actually seems feasible,” Fairy Eternity pondered seriously as she stroked her chin.

Isn’t it said that each dynasty can only last a hundred thousand years, and now it’s just the right time for a change of era? If she rides the trend of the times, joins forces with Miss Yun to unify the Central Continent, and becomes the emperor herself…

“Lu Yang, what do you think of me establishing a Great Bean Dynasty?”

“By then, I’ll be the Bean Emperor,” Fairy Eternity counted on her fingers, “The emperor takes turns, Miss Yun can be the second Bean Emperor, you the third, and whoever you want to appoint for the fourth term is up to you.”

Lu Yang: “…”

The naming skills of the Fairy, as always, leave much to be desired.

As a flattering courtier, Lu Yang heaped praise on Fairy Eternity: “The Fairy is remarkable, casting aside hereditary succession for abdication, so the capable can take office. This is something that Great Qian, Great Yu, and Great Xia have never achieved. Your action, Fairy, will surely be admired for thousands of years to come and worshiped by future generations as a wise and enlightened monarch!”

“Of course, I am remarkable,” Fairy Eternity placed her hands on her hips, chin slightly lifted, with a face displaying a hint of pride.

Yun Zhi ignored the disingenuous Lu Yang and the nearly floating Fairy Eternity, continuing to inquire: “The treasure of Wu Yao lies within the Seek Dao Sect, so you should have easily considered the possibility that there was someone capable of killing Wu Yao within the sect. What led you to dismiss this possibility?”

“I thought Emperor Yu had left this world, gone beyond the bounds of this box, and that your people from the Seek Dao Sect had happened upon his abandoned possessions by chance.”

“Emperor Yu has a way to leave this world?” Lu Yang was quite surprised. The world’s box was a creation of the Four Ancient Immortals who worked together to trap the one behind the curtain; even someone as powerful as that couldn’t leave, so how did Emperor Yu manage it?

“He must have,”

“During these two hundred thousand years, I have met Emperor Yu many times. Since I am considered his junior and there were no conflicts of interest between us, he was rather friendly towards me, revealing his wish to go to the outer world.”

“His Dao Fruit is the Exchange Dao Fruit, which emphasizes swapping. Anything belonging to him can be used as a bargaining chip for exchange.”

“I suspect the reason he allowed the Great Yu Dynasty to perish was precisely because he wanted to sacrifice the entire Great Yu Dynasty, and not just let it happen. He might have even quickened the demise of Great Yu. The rampant natural disasters and human calamities during its last days, leaving people destitute and desperate, might not be a mere coincidence. Perhaps he first sacrificed the destiny of the Great Yu Dynasty, then sacrificed the dynasty itself.”

“In any case, his plan was to sacrifice the Great Yu Dynasty in exchange for a way to reach the outside world.”

“I had thought that he had departed for the outside world since then, but during the era of Great Xia, I discovered traces of his activity twice, though I never saw him personally.”

“Nineteen years ago, in the state of Yu, a violent aura suddenly appeared, definitely that of Emperor Yu. The violent aura vanished in a flash, and its transformation was unlike any common occurrence. This led me to speculate that Emperor Yu had left this world.”

“Yu state?” Eldest Senior Sister nodded her head; this was consistent with the location where she had fought the ancient Immortal, and the process was roughly similar.

“If the person I battled was indeed Emperor Yu, then it’s quite possible he took that opportunity to abandon his Dao Fruit, sacrifice himself, and, by dying, escape to the outside world.”

Back then, Wu Yao wanted to contaminate the power of national fate, a force tied to countless lives. Regardless of success or failure, it would shake the causality of people across the world. Seeing the dire situation, Yun Zhi had no choice but to give it her all.

The battle concluded swiftly, and Yun Zhi wasn’t sure whether Wu Yao had actually died or escaped to the outside world.

However, there was no difference in the end; both scenarios resulted in the absence of Emperor Yu, the unpredictable element.

Nineteen years ago?

Lu Yang was startled. Wasn’t that exactly the time he had just transmigrated to this world after his death?

Damn it, could it be that my previous life was in the outer world, and Wu Yao, you swapped yourself out and brought me in?

“By the way, Fairy, can I ask if the Master of All Laws has ever felt the suppression of a Dao Fruit, in order to confirm whether the Time Immortal is still alive?” Lu Yang remembered another matter.

The Dao Fruit of Longevity contains two superior Dao Fruits: the Immortal Dao Fruit and the Time Dao Fruit.

Fairy Eternity looked disdainfully at the Master of All Laws, “It won’t work; he hasn’t fully mastered the Dao Fruit Outline of Longevity. He cannot sense the suppression of a superior Dao Fruit. Perhaps an Immortal Body of Longevity from the Ancient Times could, but not him.”

“He’s lived for two hundred thousand years and still hasn’t fully mastered it?” Lu Yang was astonished. The Master of All Laws had not only lived for two hundred thousand years but could also use the Immortal Body of Longevity to expedite his cultivation process.

“As I said, the key to mastering the Dao Fruit Outline lies in one’s comprehension; it’s not something that can be accumulated with time. Those with poor comprehension could live for a million years and still not become an Immortal.”

“Do you know the whereabouts of the Four Ancient Immortals?” Yun Zhi asked directly.

The Master of All Laws shook his head, “I do not know.”

“There is an Immortal-level formation around the Sun that prevents anyone from approaching. Do you know who is responsible for this Immortal-level formation?”

The Master of All Laws showed a strange expression, clearly aware of the inside story.

“There are two Immortal-level formations around the Sun. The first Immortal-level formation was left by the original Emperor Qian, who claimed to have established a new order upon the ruins of Ancient Times. He was ambitious and asserted that even the Sun and Moon in the sky were his possessions. He did not allow anyone to approach and hence set up the first Immortal-level formation.”

“After Great Qian collapsed, Wu Yao established the Great Yu Dynasty and tried many times to approach the Sun to observe the power of the Sun and Moon. However, he could not break through the formation left by the original Emperor Qian.”

Angered, he then set up another Immortal-level formation so that the original Emperor Qian could also not obtain the Sun.”

Lu Yang: “…”

Were you two founding emperors out of your minds?

“How many Immortals were born during the Great Yu Era?”

“Two, one was Emperor Yu Wu Yao, and the other was Imperial Teacher Guan Shanhai.”

“The first Imperial Teacher Guan Shanhai?”

“Yes, both of them became Immortals during the grand founding ceremonies of their respective dynasties.”

“Do you know what the Dao Fruit of Imperial Teacher Guan Shanhai is?”

“I do not know.”

“How many Immortals were born during the Great Qian Era?”

“To my knowledge, only the original Emperor Qian, as he left an Immortal-level formation on the Sun. As for whether there were others who achieved Immortality, I am unaware.”

“One last question, do you know of the Fire Dynasty?” Yun Zhi asked calmly.

Upon hearing this, the Master of All Laws’s pupils contracted sharply.
