The Final Battle of the Four Ancient Immortals Before They Attained the Dao

"Did the prisoner confess?" Lu Yang asked instinctively.

The Immortal Fairy was baffled by Lu Yang's question, "How would I know if the prisoner confessed or not? It must be that the Nine Heavens Immortal was too tired from interrogating the prisoner and needed to eat to refresh himself."

"Let's see what ingredients are left in the kitchen." The Immortal Fairy hummed a cheerful tune as she wandered around the kitchen, finally stopping in front of a sink.

"Taiyi Holy Water?" Yun Zhi murmured the origin of the water in the pool. It was no ordinary water, but Taiyi Holy Water, so rare that it had never even appeared at an auction.

Legend has it that the Taiyi Holy Water has the power to purify all things and cleanse the soul; a single drop can pull a cultivator back from a state of Qi Deviation.

If Yun Zhi's record is correct, there are only a few drops of Taiyi Holy Water left, scattered among various major powers as a reserve, and they will not be used easily.

The Ask Dao Sect once obtained three drops, all of which were used on elders who Qi Deviation during cultivation. The Ask Dao Sect does not have a single drop of Taiyi Holy Water now.

There is actually a pool of sacred water here.

The water was calm and still, reflecting the exquisite face of the immortal fairy.

"Why is there a pool here?" Lu Yang didn't recognize any Taiyi Holy Water, and was just wondering why a pool would appear in the kitchen.

"The sink! Don't you even wash it after cooking?" The Immortal Fairy gave Lu Yang, you're so unhygienic,' which made Lu Yang's eyes twitch.

The sacred water of Taiyi can purify all things, so using it to wash vegetables is somewhat understandable... I suppose.

The eldest sister hesitated for a moment, thinking that as expected of a High Antiquity immortal, he was quick-witted and able to find a new way.

The Immortal Fairy extended her index finger and gently touched the water's surface, causing ripples to spread across the calm water.

As if summoned by some kind of command, the water surface split in the middle, revealing the underwater space.

The underwater space is completely free of water droplets and vapor. A strange force separates the pool from the underwater space. If you consider the pool and the underwater space as a jar, then the pool is the lid.

Lu Yang was shocked by what he saw in the underwater space: the flesh of an unknown beast, radiating vitality; the immortal fruit that had long since vanished in the river of history; the incredibly regular spherical stones; the flowers that emitted multicolored light... all these items revealed their extraordinary origins.

These are not the key issues; the most crucial question is—

"Three hundred thousand years have passed, and these things are still so well preserved?!" Lu Yang was astonished. Even if those at the Tribulation Transcendence stage lived in a relay race, several generations would have died in three hundred thousand years.

Yun Zhi raised an eyebrow; in her perception, time in this underwater space was completely frozen.

The Immortal Fairy first made sure her treasures were all safe and sound, then secretly breathed a sigh of relief before saying in a boastful tone, "This is the space that the Time Immortal created for me!"

"He used the power of the Dao Fruit of Time to completely freeze time in this space; whatever was put in will remain exactly the same when it is taken out!"

Lu Yang gasped in shock. Imprisoning a portion of time—the Dao Fruit of Time could actually do something like this?!

"When the Immortal of Time first became an immortal and condensed the Dao Fruit of Time, he couldn't do this. He only mastered this move later with my help. To thank me for my help, he built a space where time was frozen for me to use."

"The fairy is also proficient in the power of time?" Lu Yang recalled the Divine Ability related to time that the immortal fairy possessed.

A technique called "playing dead" allows one to manipulate their own time and accelerate the decomposition of a corpse.

A weather forecast can accurately predict future weather.

No matter how you look at it, the Immortal Fairy doesn't seem to have the ability to guide the Time Fairy.

"The Immortal of Time said that only by facing threats can one awaken the power of the Dao Fruit, but for immortals, there are almost none that can be called 'threats'."

"So he asked me to cook for him. He wanted to confine himself to a specific time while eating. After practicing for a few days, he mastered it."

Lu Yang: "..."

"Perhaps he remembered the time I pinned him to the ground and beat him up when he was in his Tribulation Transcendence stage while he was eating, and that made him feel 'threatened.' Nine-fold Immortal taught me that this is called a conditioned reflex."

"Tribulation Transcendence stage?" Upon hearing the keyword, Yun Zhi recalled a story she had read in an ancient book. "Does the fairy know that before Ying Tianxian and the other three became immortals, when they were still in the Tribulation Transcendence stage, they experienced a massive battle?"

"The final battle before becoming an immortal?" Lu Yang was invigorated upon hearing this. It sounded like a very exciting story, evoking many thrilling associations.

Yun Zhi nodded slightly, recalling the contents of the ancient book. "Legend has it that before the four immortals of High Antiquity attained enlightenment, they fought a great battle."

"The three proud prodigies, Ying Tianxian, Qilin Xian, and Jiuchong Xian, joined forces to fight against Suiyue Xian. According to those who witnessed the battle, during the fight, Ying Tianxian even sternly asked Suiyue Xian, 'Who can become an immortal!' Faced with Ying Tianxian's question, Suiyue Xian dared not answer and was at a disadvantage in terms of State of Mind."

"People speculate that among the four High Antiquity immortals, the Immortal of Time is the Jianmu tree, which has existed for countless years and possesses an astonishingly rich foundation. He is the most likely to become an immortal. The three Immortals, Yingtian and others, joined forces to prevent the Immortal of Time from becoming the first immortal."

At first, the Immortal Fairy frowned, not recalling any final battle before becoming an immortal. But as she listened, she suddenly realized, "Oh, you mean this? Then you've come to the right person. I know this."

"Let me tell you, before the Immortal of Time became an immortal, he was always arrogant and looked down on everyone. Back then, we were both in the Tribulation Transcendence stage, and the Immortal of Time asked me, among all the heroes in the world, who could become an immortal?"

"I asked Ying Tianxian if it would work, and he said that Ying Tianxian valued his status too much and was a burden on the path to immortality."

"I asked Qilin Immortal if it would work, and he said that Qilin Immortal was a crude and uncouth martial artist who relied on his innate good fortune, making his path of cultivation too smooth and making it difficult for him to pass the test of becoming an immortal."

"I asked if a Nine-fold Immortal would be suitable, and he said that a Nine-fold Immortal's talent is mediocre. If it weren't for their immortal bodies, they would have been defeated by other geniuses long ago. Such a person cannot become an immortal."

"I asked myself if I could do it, and he said I was too sharp and aggressive. Although I was on an invincible path, being too rigid would easily lead to failure. He also said that I was too meticulous and did not follow the way of nature. My State of Mind was Lower Vehicle, and I could not become an immortal."

"I asked him who could become an immortal, and he said that lamentably, in all the vastness of the world, only he could become an immortal, forever lonely."

"I was so angry at the time that I pinned him to the ground and beat him up. He then became obedient and said that I could also become an immortal."

"I was still angry later, and I felt that beating him up wouldn't be enough to vent my anger. But I had already beaten him up once, and it wouldn't be right to beat him up again. So I told Ying Tianxian, Qilin Xian, and Jiuchong Xian what had happened."

"Then the three of them teamed up and taught the Time Immortal a lesson."

"In a one-on-one fight, the Time Immortal fears no one, but in a three-on-one battle, he can only take the beating."

"Ying Tianxian questioned Suiyue Xian, 'Who can become an immortal?' Suiyue Xian knew he was in the wrong and dared not answer."

Yun Zhi: "..."

So this is the truth behind the legendary final battle between High Antiquity Four Immortals before they attained enlightenment?

Lu Yang secretly glanced at his senior sister's reaction and thought to himself, "Now you know what kind of High Antiquity stories I listen to every day, right?"
