Ancient Anecdotes

To be fair, the Immortal Fairy's eyesight is indeed remarkable. This was just an exception; if it were any other treasure, it would have been considered a fortuitous encounter.

But the Immortal Fairy didn't see it that way. It was a disgrace to her; as an immortal, she had been defeated twice in front of a junior.

Don't I, Huang Doudou, have any pride?!

"Fairy, if you have nothing else to do, you should go back to sleep," Lu Yang advised.

"Boy, don't think that's all this immortal skill I have!" The Immortal Fairy refused to believe it and tried her best to prove that she was very useful.

"In High Antiquity times, I was a top-tier expert with countless treasures. For example, I buried a large number of treasures on the North Star, including many immortal treasures. I still remember their exact locations. If you can find them, you can easily establish your own sect and rule with impunity!"

"But didn't the nameless High Antiquity beings refine countless stars? Where am I supposed to find the North Star?"

The immortal fairy paused for a moment, then continued, "I can also guide your cultivation, allowing you to achieve twice the results with half the effort, far surpassing your peers in speed, and ensuring a solid foundation without any flaws!"

"Thank you, Senior Sister, for your guidance."

"How could that little girl be as knowledgeable as me? My guidance is definitely more comprehensive. How could she possibly cover everything? There are loopholes everywhere. Take your Foundation Establishment as an example, your Foundation Establishment is... well, it's pretty perfect."

"..."

The Immortal Fairy admitted that, in her discerning eyes, Lu Yang's Foundation Establishment was perfect, without a single flaw.

"And also, as a woman, I am very perceptive and can help you pursue the woman you like!"

Lu Yang realized that the Immortal Fairy had run out of tricks, so he simply gave up his immortal status.

"No need, my senior sister told me that the best way to cultivate immortality is to keep your kidney essence plentiful."

"Superficial!" The Immortal Fairy scoffed at her senior sister's viewpoint. "Haven't you heard of the High Antiquity times when a man had women every night, with a harem of over a hundred? He cultivated the art of lovemaking, and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds!"

"Do you want this kind of Cultivation Method? I have a few here, all of which are quite suitable for you."

Lu Yang calmly asked, "Tell me first what happened to that woman who built a harem in the end."

"He was attacked by the harem and died a gruesome death, dismembered... But that's not the point. The most important thing is that his cultivation level is increasing rapidly!"

"They lost their lives quickly too."

"I have also witnessed many other Law Technique, and I can teach you how to deal with them. For example, the great Divine Ability power of 'words become law' means that whatever is spoken can come true, which can be considered the ultimate in causal Law Technique!"

"When I was still in the Tribulation Transcendence stage, I encountered an enemy who could make his words come true. He was a formidable foe, truly terrifying. He was practically the darling of heaven and earth, able to make anything he said come true. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was omnipotent."

"However strong he may be, he is ultimately no match for me!"

Lu Yang was shocked. His words carried on, and this kind of Law Technique sounded extremely difficult to deal with. It was terrifying that the Immortal Fairy could defeat such an enemy.

Come to think of it, although the Immortal Fairy is a bit unreliable, the High Antiquity times were incredibly chaotic, with geniuses vying for immortality and powerful beings fighting to the death. In the end, only five people became immortals. The fact that the Immortal Fairy achieved final victory under such circumstances shows just how talented she was.

How did you defeat him?

"I ambushed him. He probably protected himself too well with his words, and hadn't been hit much before. He yelled, 'It hurts so much!' and then he died."

Lu Yang: "..."

What kind of piece of trash is this?

"Unfortunately, with that person's death, the tradition of 'words becoming law' was severed."

Seeing Lu Yang in shock, the Immortal Fairy's confidence soared. "Besides dealing with Law Technique, I can also teach you Law Technique. Have you ever heard of the great Divine Ability the earth to an inch? This is a rare spatial Law Technique. In High Antiquity times, even Golden Core cultivator could barely learn it, but under my guidance, you can learn it now."

"Shrinking the earth to an inch?" Lu Yang was secretly delighted. His senior sister had cut out too much during her teaching process, but with an immortal teaching him this time, there would definitely be no problem.

Seeing that Lu Yang was interested in this Divine Ability, the Immortal Fairy patiently taught him, explaining each step of the Law Technique very thoroughly. Lu Yang took out a small notebook, nodding and taking notes, looking every bit the diligent student.

After a long while, the Immortal Fairy's eyes were lifeless as she watched Lu Yang burrowing in the soil and shrinking in size, and she fell into deep self-doubt about her teaching abilities.

What kind of scene hasn't the Immortal Fairy seen?

I've never seen anything like this before.

The good news is that Lu Yang's mastery of the Shrinking Earth and Shrinking Inch Law Technique has become increasingly profound. He can now shrink from three inches to one inch, and his casting speed has also increased significantly.

"I know more than just this one spatial Law Technique!" The Immortal Fairy fully demonstrated the Law Technique reserves that an immortal should have.

What is it?

"A world within reach, on par with shrinking the distance to an inch!"

"Once you cultivate to the point of being able to see the world from a distance, even the farthest distance will be within reach, and you can reach your destination with just one step!" The technique of "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" is even more difficult to master than the Law Technique "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch." At first, the Immortal Fairy was worried that Lu Yang would not be able to learn it and that it would discourage him, so she did not intend to teach him.

Now her only worry is that Lu Yang might go astray!

"The Law Technique 'Soaring to the Ends of the Earth' requires a high level of spatial understanding. Without a foundation in other spatial Law Technique, it's very difficult to learn this Law Technique. Are you confident you can learn it?"

Lu Yang thought for a moment and realized that he had learned the Cleansing Clothes Spell, which could summon clean clothes; it was a typical spatial Law Technique.

Lu Yang nodded, and the Immortal Fairy began to teach.

"Learning is as easy as shrinking the distance between two worlds. The process is basically the same as shrinking the distance between two worlds. First, you must memorize the incantation. Listen carefully..." The immortal fairy recited a passage of obscure and difficult-to-understand ancient language, which was extremely difficult to memorize.

But at this moment, Lu Yang had already opened up his spiritual space, and his Divine Sense was powerful. He memorized the ancient saying in no time.

The Immortal Fairy could see that Lu Yang was very talented in learning Law Technique.

"Next, you need to have a map in your mind. Imagine yourself at a location on the map, and while you're thinking about it, recite the ancient incantation."

"When your spirit, energy, and mind are in perfect harmony, you can teleport yourself to your destination with a single thought."

The Immortal Fairy cautioned, "However, you must be careful, as the teleportation distance is related to your cultivation level. Since this is your first attempt, you shouldn't choose a distance that's too far."

Following the Immortal Fairy's instructions, Lu Yang cautiously attempted the technique. Simultaneously, he recited ancient incantations and visualized Heaven Gate Peak, then shouted, "So close yet so far!"

Nothing happened.

The Immortal Fairy continued, "Take that step. 'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step' means the destination is within reach, just one step away, so you need to take that step!"

Only by taking the first step can you know if you've succeeded.

Lu Yang took a step, and the scenery beneath his feet changed. He and the Immortal Fairy were overjoyed at the same time—they had succeeded!

"No, look at your feet!" the Immortal Fairy shouted.

Lu Yang looked down, cold sweat pouring down his face. Below him lay an abyss, bottomless and unfathomable!

He turned his head to look behind him and found that there was a cliff behind him.

So, is the purpose of being so close yet so far just to stand on the edge of the world?

Lu Yang had no time to complain; there was nothing beneath his feet, he was suspended in mid-air.

He wobbled a couple of times and fell into the abyss.
