Foreseeing the Future
Lu Yang felt that the Immortal Fairy's inability to foresee the future was largely due to the Time Immortal's failure to teach her properly.
Lu Yang followed the Immortal Fairy to learn High Antiquity words, and unfamiliar vocabulary kept popping out of his mouth.
After repeating it a few times, Lu Yang was able to say the sentence fluently.
"Speaking of which, if we want to revive you, Fairy, whether we recite your name in High Antiquity language or in modern language, will it work?" Lu Yang recalled that when he revived the Immortal Fairy, he spoke in modern language.
"Hehe, as I've already said, my Dao Fruit is 'Immortal,' which means eternal existence. How can I be bound by the distinctions of language? However, the Celestial Immortal and the others don't know this." The Immortal Fairy smiled somewhat mischievously, willing to share this little secret with Lu Yang.
"Don't tell anyone about this. I'm only telling you because you resurrected me and let me live in your body for so long!" the Immortal Fairy warned.
"That's for sure!" Lu Yang patted his chest and assured him.
Lu Yang began to seriously study the art of predicting the future. He sat cross-legged and carefully studied this great Law Technique and supernatural Divine Ability, which was renowned in High Antiquity legends.
Lu Yang rarely sought guidance from the Immortal Fairy, fearing she might mislead him. However, he would still ask her if he encountered anything he couldn't understand.
The Immortal Fairy watched as Lu Yang gradually grasped the core of foreknowledge, and was secretly alarmed. This meant that Lu Yang was not far from mastering it.
She said that Lu Yang's Law Technique talent was inferior to hers, but that was because she was embarrassed to admit that Lu Yang's talent was superior to hers.
She couldn't learn time Law Technique during the Foundation Establishment Realm.
At the mid- Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, Lu Yang has already mastered spatial Law Technique like "A World Within Reach" and is about to learn temporal Law Technique like "Predicting the Future." Calling him a prodigy wouldn't be an exaggeration.
The Immortal Fairy quickly put the matter out of her mind. After all, Law Technique wasn't her forte, so why compare her weakness to Lu Yang's strength?
Lu Yang recited solemn High Antiquity words, joined his middle and index fingers together, and shouted, "Foresee the future!"
"You succeeded?" The Immortal Fairy exclaimed in surprise; she learned so quickly.
Golden runes appeared beside Lu Yang and dissipated into the void. After about three minutes, the golden runes left the void and returned to Lu Yang's body.
Lu Yang's eyes shone brightly, like gold; he had successfully foreseen the future!
"I saw... myself from two minutes ago?!"
Lu Yang saw himself two minutes ago, standing there with his arm raised, waiting for the golden rune to give him feedback, looking a little silly.
His eye twitched slightly; theoretically, he had learned to foresee the future and successfully predicted what would happen one minute after casting the Law Technique.
But realistically, he knew he would have to wait three minutes for the result.
"What's the point of this?!" Lu Yang complained.
Lu Yang felt that it was probably because he hadn't mastered it yet.
"Practice some more."
Lu Yang reflected on his actions, identified potential problems, patched up the loopholes, and then tried again.
He cast the Law Technique and waited three minutes, then saw what Law Technique one and a half minutes later.
"... That's some progress," Lu Yang comforted himself, pulling himself together.
"Keep it up!" the Immortal Fairy encouraged from the sidelines.
"Again!"
After the Five Elements Sect left, the senior brothers and sisters took turns fighting Lu Yang, beating him until dawn before finally burying him in the grove of trees on Heaven Gate Peak.
Lu Yang passed the fairy's test and began cultivating diligently from dawn.
As time passed, from dawn until dusk, the sun transformed into the moon, and moonlight poured down on the Ask Dao Sect like a tide, shrouding it in a veil of mystery.
As the saying goes, "Heaven helps those who help themselves." Through repeated practice, constantly seeking out, researching, and solving problems, the foreseeable future became longer and longer, infinitely approaching the three-minute mark.
Suddenly, Lu Yang felt a boom in his mind, as if something had been unlocked, allowing him to overcome the three-minute barrier and predict the future.
Lu Yang's eyes were golden, shining like two candles in the night, very conspicuous.
"What did you see?" the Immortal Fairy asked excitedly.
Lu Yang's expression was strange. "I only saw one scene. Senior Sister left Prison Peak, and I ran up to her and said that I must learn from Master and become like him, who does nothing but eat and play all day without cultivating or doing anything serious. Senior Sister smiled, hugged me, patted my back, and said that she would take care of me in the future."
"Really?" The Immortal Fairy was taken aback. What kind of strange future was this?
"It feels real!" Lu Yang was also completely baffled.
"Something doesn't feel quite right to me," the Immortal Fairy said, her eyes darting around. "The Immortal of Time said that the future cannot be changed. Since you've seen it, it means it must be something that will happen in the future."
"The only way to verify what's true or false is to test it!"
Lu Yang agreed with the Immortal Fairy's words and set off for Prison Peak.
Yun Zhi had just emerged from Prison Peak, her fists stained with blood. Although she still wore a blank expression, those who knew her well knew that she was in a good mood.
Yun Zhi successfully obtained a wealth of information about the Immortal Cult from the two vice leaders, including the location of the Immortal Cult headquarters.
Yun Zhi saw Lu Yang running over excitedly. "Junior Brother, what's the matter?"
Lu Yang smiled brightly and said, "I must learn from my master and become like him, so carefree and irresponsible, spending all day eating and playing, not cultivating or doing anything serious."
Boom--Crack--
The once clear sky was inexplicably covered with dark clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and large raindrops began to fall.
"Hey, it's raining! I knew there would be moderate rain tonight!" The Immortal Fairy said smugly, her weather forecast was still very accurate.
Lu Yang noticed that after he finished speaking, his senior sister's expression changed from blank to a faint smile. Although it was a smile, combined with the lightning and thunder in the sky and Lu Yang 'Lu Yang intuition, this smile put immense pressure on him.
It's a life-or-death crisis!
Lu Yang swallowed hard, quickly returning his consciousness to his mental space, and secretly asked, "Fairy, when one's cultivation reaches a certain level, will emotional changes occur, thus affecting the weather?"
"Yes."
Lu Yang finally understood why it was raining today at the Ask Dao Sect, where it rarely rains.
I'm the one who angered my senior sister!
"Fairy, your weather forecast is incredibly accurate!" Lu Yang said through gritted teeth.
In reality, Yun Zhi gently patted Lu Yang's shoulder and said in a soft tone, "Junior Brother, is it because you've been too stressed with cultivation lately that you've started talking nonsense?"
Lu Yang trembled and subconsciously shook his head. Then, realizing his reaction was wrong, he quickly nodded like a chick pecking at rice, unable to utter a single word.
He finally knew what kind of Law Technique he had mastered.
To foresee the future—to know in advance what will not happen.
