A Young Grandma

For a long time, one question has been troubling Lu Yang.

If simply reciting the Immortal Fairy's name could revive her, then why was it only by accident that she was revived 300,000 years later?

Referring to the rudimentary methods of the Imperial Preceptor's Dao of Cause and Effect, the person who assassinated the Immortal Fairy may have relied on similar methods to erase the world's impression of the Immortal Fairy.

But would this method work on immortals?

No one can be sure.

The body of the Immortal of Time is now buried beneath the wood vein, but the whereabouts of his immortal soul are unknown, and his fate is uncertain.

If the Immortal of Time is in this state, what must be the circumstances of the Celestial Immortal, the Ninefold Immortal, and the Qilin Immortal? What roles did they play in the Immortal of Time's demise—were they the murderers or the victims?

"Fairy, you don't remember anything about what happened before you perished, and what characteristics the murderer had?"

The immortal fairy frowned, trying hard to recall what had happened.

"My memories of that period are very blurry. I only remember that I was sleeping that day, and in a hazy state, I felt my soul floating up. It felt very comfortable, like it was melting. I don't remember anything after that. When I woke up, you were calling my name, and my soul reformed and I was successfully resurrected."

Lu Yang sighed; it seemed he wouldn't be able to get any information from the Immortal Fairy.

The Immortal Fairy herself claims to be the head of the Five Immortals of High Antiquity, so she must be quite capable. It's impossible that she wouldn't react at all after being ambushed. Either the attacker was too powerful, or the Immortal Fairy's condition was not quite right.

"Killing me is one thing, but not even sparing the Time Immortals! Don't let me find out who did it, or I'll beat them to a pulp!" the Immortal Fairy roared. Her death once was nothing; in the long years, someone would inevitably call out her name. But the Time Immortals were different; their true forms were buried here, and their fate was likely grim.

The Immortal of Time had provided me with much assistance in condensing the Immortal Dao Fruit, and I must repay this kindness.

"When we get back, I'll tell my senior sister about this and let her make the decision." Lu Yang said dejectedly, regretting that he couldn't help the Immortal Fairy for the time being.

"Since the situation of the Immortal of Time is unknown, how can the Jianmu tree still exude vitality?" Lu Yang pointed to the wooden plaque he had just obtained.

The Immortal Fairy looked at the illusory image of the Jianmu tree she had created with a complex expression, and sighed softly, "A wondrous object like the Jianmu tree can gradually regain its vitality and complete the transformation from death to life as long as even the slightest trace remains. It can be regarded as an alternative resurrection, except that it is a completely new Jianmu tree, and has nothing to do with the Immortal of Time."

"The Jianmu tree beneath our feet is gradually recovering its vitality. In about tens or hundreds of thousands of years, it will be fully revived, rise from the ground, and grow into a new, towering Jianmu."

"Look at the tree where Shangguan girl was just now. It shouldn't have grown this tall. This is because it was affected by the life force of the Jianmu tree. If I'm not mistaken, the roots of that big tree are very close to the Jianmu tree."

"The Immortal of Time himself said that the Jianmu tree suffered a great calamity in the past, and was cut in half at the waist, losing all its vitality. The new Jianmu tree grew from the old one, and that is him."

"Alright, the little ones have seen enough. Let them rest tonight." Shangguan Yu clapped his hands, signaling Bai Ming to lead them to their lodgings. Tomorrow they would begin studying the <General Principles of the Five Elements>.

Although she didn't realize that the body beneath the wood vein was the true form of the Time Immortal, she knew the value of the Jianmu wood. She didn't share it with just anyone; she believed that these five people would surely achieve great things in the future, leaving a significant mark on the history of cultivation and forging a good connection with future generations.

The Five Elements Sect arranged for them to stay at the confluence of the five meridians, which was Qiu Jin'an's territory, a position comparable to Heaven Gate Peak.

"Oh ho, everyone's back. It's been a long time, Sect Master Lu." A somewhat familiar voice rang out, teasing Lu Yang.

Lu Yang took a look and saw that it was Lin Shaoyou, Qiu Jinan's eldest disciple. He had a wood Spirit Root and his combat power in the Integrated Body Early Stage was comparable to that in the Integrated Body Late Stage the Fusion Realm. He was a genius on the same level as his senior brother Dai Bufan.

The last time the Five Elements Sect visited the Ask Dao Sect, it was the acting Sect Master Lu Yang who received Lin Shaoyou.

Lin Shaoyou thought that his senior sister was also acting as the sect Sect Master, so he proposed to challenge someone of the same generation. Then, his senior sister silently stepped forward, and Lin Shaoyou silently stepped back, and the matter was dropped.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Lin." The five bowed in greeting.

"Alright, alright, don't be so reserved, relax. I just came out for some fresh air because I was tired from practicing Law Technique, and I just wanted to say hello since you're back."

"Hey, did the housewife give you wooden badges?" Lin Shaoyou noticed the wooden badges hanging around the necks of the six people.

Bai Ming's expression changed drastically, and he quickly pulled Lu Yang and the others away.

Lu Yang and the others were puzzled, but they still obediently stayed away from the area.

With a cracking sound, a thunderclap resounded, striking Lin Shaoyou so hard he was charred and black smoke billowing from his body.

Bai Ming explained in a low voice, "Senior Shangguan hates it when people call her old. If someone knowingly does so, this is what will happen."

"Cough cough, it's nothing, it's alright." The charred, mummified corpse came back to life, its eyes shining brightly.

A slight cracking sound rang out, and countless cracks appeared on the charred surface of the mummified corpse. Lin Shaoyou walked out of the corpse unharmed, as if nothing had happened, and even his clothes were brand new.

Bai Ming explained again in a low voice, "The eldest brother's clothes are made by growing leaves from his body and then refining the leaves into clothes. It's hard for ordinary people to see this action clearly. I only found out after Master told me."

Meng Jingzhou's eyes lit up. Lin Shaoyou was Dai Bufan's peer, which meant he was also the same generation as the senior sister. And this wasn't the Ask Dao Sect.

"Senior Brother Lin, how old are you this year...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yang suddenly realized what was happening, covered Meng Jingzhou's mouth from behind, and pulled him back.

If you're courting disaster, don't drag everyone else down with you.

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, puzzled by Lu Yang's sudden and dramatic reaction.

Lin Shaoyou went even further and asked, "Junior Brother Meng, is there anything you want to ask?"

"No, no, he was sleepwalking just now," Lu Yang answered for Meng Jingzhou.

"By the way, Senior Brother, didn't you just learn a new Law Technique recently? Why are you still practicing Law Technique?"

"Hehe, isn't it normal for your senior brother, who is a genius like me, to have new ideas and cultivate new Law Technique?"

"So what are you cultivating this time...?"

"Combining the tree-planting technique with drawing a circle on the ground to increase the strength of the circle on the ground sounds complicated, but you'll understand once I demonstrate it for you."

Lin Shaoyou took out several tree seeds from his pocket, spun around and planted them. The seeds took root and grew rapidly, surrounding Lin Shaoyou. The branches and leaves of the trees bent inward, like a birdcage.

The trees gleamed with a metallic sheen, much like trees that grow on gold veins.

"Look, like this." Lin Shaoyou punched the iron tree, but it didn't budge. He stomped his foot, but the ground didn't move either.

The tree roots are connected at the bottom, forming a solid and indestructible structure.

"Amazing!" Bai Ming exclaimed. With just this one move, he could launch a surprise attack and trap someone of the same level without any problem.

"I see you're using it quite smoothly, Senior Brother. Why do you still need to cultivate? Is there something you haven't practiced enough?"

"This combination Law Technique has a minor flaw that we haven't been able to overcome."

What is it?

"I don't know how to cancel it proactively."

Bai Ming: "..."

Bai Ming slowly raised his hand and clasped his hands tightly. "Senior Brother, please take care!"

Bai Ming gestured for everyone to leave, and Lin Shaoyou sighed softly, realizing he could only rely on himself.

"Housewife, help me!"

Boom boom boom--

Three bolts of lightning struck, but Lin Shaoyou remained unharmed.

"Huh? What's the principle behind this?"

I've written a bit of the main storyline, and the group chat exploded. I'm creating a new group now.
