Constructive Wood

"Jianmu?"

Lu Yang's eyes widened suddenly, staring at the protective wooden amulet in disbelief.

"Isn't that the true form of the Time Immortal?"

People are unaware of celestial objects and often attach the name "celestial" to many rare items. For example, people often call the Lesser Medicine King "celestial herb," the peerless sword "celestial sword," and incomprehensible Daoist practices "Immortal Method."

In reality, neither the Little Medicine King nor the peerless sword reached the level of "immortal".

Unlike Jianmu, this is undoubtedly a divine object.

"I knew this thing looked familiar. It must be a part of the Time Immortal, just a bit small. Otherwise, I would have recognized it immediately!"

When it comes to familiarity with the immortals of time, none is more familiar than the Immortal Fairy.

Lu Yang's expression was strange, and he asked again, "Then where did this small piece of Jianmu come from? Did the Immortal of Time pick it out by scratching his feet?"

The body of an immortal is indestructible; who can cut a piece of wood from the body of an immortal of time?

The Immortal Fairy glanced at Lu Yang with disdain. "How is that possible? Immortals are beings without flaws; how could they have skin on their feet like mortals?"

"That small piece of Jianmu wood..."

"It might have been blown up by me."

Lu Yang: "..."

"It's also possible that he was beaten by Ying Tianxian and the others. After all, before becoming an immortal, Suiyue Xian said that he would definitely become an immortal and that none of you could become immortals, which angered the public. After becoming immortals, Ying Tianxian and the others have used underhanded tactics quite a few times."

"However, this piece of wood is too small, and I can't tell who hit it."

"If I remember correctly, didn't the Fairy of Time only say this to you, Fairy? You were the one who relayed it to the Fairy of Heaven and the others."

The Immortal Fairy waved her hand and instructed Lu Yang, "The results are all about the same, don't worry about it so much. You should learn more from me in this regard."

"Also, ask this little girl if she has any more Jianmu trees."

The fact that Shangguan Yu was able to give Lu Yang a small piece of Jianmu wood means that he has even more Jianmu wood on his side.

"Sister Shangguan, may I ask what this is? I've never seen it before," Lu Yang asked politely.

"Never seen this before, have you? This is just a small piece. The larger one is below the wood vein, a charred section of a giant tree. The vibrant life of the wood vein is all thanks to that giant tree. Our sect's patriarch was truly shocked when he discovered that giant tree below the wood vein."

"The giant tree's vibrant life force can sustain its veins for hundreds of thousands of years without decaying, demonstrating its immense power."

"Our patriarch also discovered this. The vitality contained within the giant tree is inconceivably powerful, exceeding the comprehension of the cultivation world. No other spiritual tree recorded in ancient texts fits this description."

"Therefore, our ancestor made a bold guess: this thing is none other than a part of the Wood Immortal's body!"

In today's cultivation world, people are unaware of the title "Time Immortal," only knowing that it is transformed from a tree, and thus habitually refer to it as the "Wood Immortal."

"A Wood Immortal?!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise, even Bai Ming. He had never heard of this before, let alone knew that the vitality of the Wood Vein was caused by a piece of giant wood.

"Sister Shangguan".

"Sister Shangguan".

Upon hearing that Lu Yang possessed a part of the legendary Wood Immortal, everyone began calling her "Sister Shangguan," even Bai Ming did so.

"It's too late to call now." Shangguan Yu turned her head away so they wouldn't see her laughing.

Then she turned back and said seriously, "You need to call out a few more times."

The constant murmurs of "Sister Shangguan" brought a smile to Shangguan Yu's face.

"Come on, one piece each, it will protect you and keep you safe. Little Bai Ming, you get one too."

Shangguan Yu took out five small wooden tokens and distributed them to everyone.

"May you be safe and sound?" Lu Yang remembered that when Meng Jingzhou suffered the backlash of karma, the Immortal Fairy said that the Time Immortal had the power to exorcise evil spirits and could avert the backlash of karma from Meng Jingzhou.

If the body of the Time Immortal truly works and can ensure peace, then why did Qiu Jin'an still seek to borrow the power of the nation's destiny from the governor of the desolate state?

He entered the spiritual space, and just as he was about to ask the Immortal Fairy a question, he saw her make a decision and unleash her divine sense.

Originally, the Immortal Fairy was wondering if doing this would offend the Five Elements Sect, but after Shangguan Yu reminded her, she had the same thought as Lu Yang and no longer cared about whether it was offensive or not.

She immediately used her divine sense to scan the wood veins and indeed found the giant piece of wood that Shangguan Yu had mentioned.

The giant tree was enormous, running through the entire forest vein. Although Lu Yang and his companions could freely tour the five forest veins and arrive at their destinations at a leisurely pace, they were walking near the confluence of the five forest veins, which significantly shortened the distance.

In reality, the Five Elements Sect is only slightly smaller than the Ask Dao Sect, covering a total area of 80,000 li. The Five Veins are the main body of the Five Elements Sect. One can imagine how vast the Wood Veins are, and how long the giant trees that can run through the Wood Veins must be.

However, compared to the towering Jianmu tree in the Immortal Fairy's memory, this giant tree was much shorter, even dwarf.

The immortal fairy conjured the image of the giant tree she saw in her spiritual space.

The giant tree was charred black, with burns from fire and lightning, and several layers of its old bark had peeled off. There was even an attack that pierced straight through the heart of the tree.

"What's going on?" Lu Yang was startled. Even as a layman, he could sense the extent of the attack that the giant tree had suffered; it was truly devastating.

The Immortal Fairy remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, her previous jovial demeanor completely gone. "The Immortal of Time was attacked. The attacker used the most common attack methods to conceal his identity."

"At first, I thought this was when I self-destructed, and that the Immortal of Time used methods like 'Rejuvenating a Withered Tree' and 'Shedding the Cicada's Shell' to leave behind an avatar while his true body escaped. But that's not right. The Immortal of Responding Heaven said not to leave an avatar in the world. For the world, this could be a blessing or a curse. So the Immortal of Time's avatar shouldn't be here."

"Now that I see this piece of Jianmu wood, I am certain that this is the true form of the Immortal of Time, and a large part of it has already turned into nothingness!"

The Immortal Fairy did not recall ever having a battle of this magnitude while she was still alive.

This is a battle at the level of immortality's demise.

"After my death, the Immortal of Time waged a great war against an extremely powerful opponent."

The Immortal of Time controls the Dao Fruit of Time, enabling him to observe the past, foresee the future, and restore his body to an uninjured state. The fact that he was still beaten to such a state under these circumstances is enough to demonstrate the strength and terror of his opponent.

Lu Yang's heart skipped a beat. "The Immortal of Time... has passed away?"

The Immortal Fairy slowly shook her head. "It's impossible to be sure. Immortals have stronger vitality than you imagine. Even if they lose their physical form, they can still survive. But for someone like the Time Immortal, I'm afraid that even if he were still alive, losing his physical form wouldn't be much better."

"The Immortal of Time is different from me. With the Immortal Dao Fruit, I can create a true body to contain an immortal soul at will, but the Immortal of Time cannot. The immortal body is of utmost importance to an immortal, and it is very difficult to find anything in the world that can replace or reshape an immortal body."

Even the true form of the Time Immortal has been beaten to such a state, its fate unknown; how can one offer blessings or protection?
