The Immortal Sect Exchange Comes to an End

As the Immortal of Time returned to the North Star, the commotion caused by the Immortal Fairy and the Dragon and Phoenix Pride grew increasingly larger, making his heart pound with fear.

"Time, you've returned? How are Qilin Yingtian and the others?"

The Immortal of Time said solemnly, "It was that lousy chess player Ying Tian who was cheating. I taught him a lesson, and then they continued playing. When I left, Qilin and Ying Tian entered a state of enlightenment, as if they had seen through the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, Yin and Yang contained in Gomoku!"

"Nine Immortals, as the founder of Gomoku, are protecting him. I've returned first."

"Wow, these two have such fortuitous opportunity! Perfect, I'll make them something nice to eat."

Watching the Immortal Fairy's busy figure, the Time Immortal kindly reminded her, "Especially make sure Yingtian gets plenty of nourishment; I think he has the deepest understanding of the Dao and needs the most nourishment!"

The Immortal Fairy responded loudly, "No problem, this is my specialty!"

She rolled up her sleeves, tightened her headscarf, and went all out, soon followed by the agonizing cries of the ingredients.

The Immortal of Time sneered, "Yingtian, you call me treacherous and cunning? This time, I'll poison you to death!"

"This is the Immortal Chess Game, but I can't seem to make any sense of it," Meng Jingzhou muttered. He looked at it from every angle but couldn't discern the profound mystery hidden within the chessboard by the two High Antiquity immortals.

Tao Yaoye and Man Gu had similar reactions; they couldn't see anything.

Qiu Jin'an, stop talking nonsense! In our Five Elements Sect's ten thousand years of history, not a single person has seen the historical reflection. You expect to see it the moment you walk in?

Lu Yang yawned, utterly bored.

He had just awakened from the shadows of history, and was mentally exhausted, so he couldn't immediately tell where he was.

Before Ying Tianxian and the others discovered the Immortal Fairy, Lu Yang had watched the chess game for twenty years, only it had been sped up by the Immortal Fairy.

Even so, this is a huge mental burden.

Not to mention that he directly confronts the Four Immortals of High Antiquity through a time-space portal, connecting the past, present, and future.

Qiu Jinan noticed Lu Yang's movements but didn't think much of it.

The founding master, having immersed himself in the reflections of history for a century, was completely different from Lu Yang.

To outsiders, Lu Yang merely lowered his head and yawned, a mere two or three breaths in the time it took. No one would have guessed that Lu Yang had witnessed a reflection of history.

Although it was because of the Immortal Fairy's influence.

After a quarter of an hour, Qiu Jinan asked with a smile, "Finished reading?"

As expected, nothing happened; the young people came here just for the novelty.

Everyone sighed in unison, still hoping to encounter a celestial being, or at least catch a glimpse of one.

There was nothing.

"Fairy, wasn't the information you conveyed just now too little?"

The Immortal Fairy only conveyed five words before the communication channel closed for unknown reasons, leaving Lu Yang worried that the call had been ineffective.

"Don't worry, although those four aren't as wise as I am, they are still intelligent beyond ordinary people. They'll definitely be able to guess something and have left some hidden tricks."

"However, I am still destined to die. The hidden tricks they left behind should not have any effect on me; they must be something else entirely."

"It's good that it works."

Although he knew a lot about the dark history of the Four Immortals of High Antiquity, and was easily killed by them, and even the Qilin Immortal tricked him into eating dirt, Lu Yang still hoped that the Four Immortals of High Antiquity would live.

Li Haoran was momentarily dazed. He had just seen the chessboard and suddenly dozed off. In his hazy state, he saw four people in the fairyland, all wielding immense power that could not be directly confronted.

He then woke up and blinked.

"Was it a dream?"

He tried hard to recall the events of his dream, to remember who the four people in the secret realm were, but the more he thought about it, the more blurred his memory became.

What just happened?

Li Haoran frowned. He felt like something had just happened, but upon closer inspection, nothing had actually occurred.

As the group left the fairyland, no one noticed that a figure sat motionless atop the mountain, like a stone statue. The figure raised its eyelids, glanced at the departing group, and then gracefully descended, entering the fairyland.

The figure noticed that the fairyland was the same as before, with no difference, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"Strange, was it just my imagination? How come it felt like someone just saw a reflection of history?"

The figure shook his head, putting the matter out of his mind.

It must be an illusion; how could someone encounter a reflection of history without becoming immersed in it?

A month passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Yang and his five companions had made great progress in the Five Elements Sect. They cultivated in the five meridians according to the five elements, sorted out their meridians, and organized what they had learned in the past month.

Lu Yang cultivated in the Golden Vein, advancing from the first level of the late Golden Core stage to the peak of the minor perfection of the second level of the late Golden Core, a significant improvement in his cultivation realm.

"Fellow Daoist Bai Ming, see you in the martial world!" On the flying boat, Lu Yang and the others waved and shouted.

The people of the Five Elements Sect came out to see them off.

The Ask Dao Sect's breeding farm.

"In the beginning of time, in the azure sky, a song sang in the heavens, and the great floating earth..."

The high-ranking members of the Immortal Cult shook their heads and chanted Buddhist mantras.

After nearly a month of Buddhist teachings, they are all transformed, especially the Immortal, who has the highest level of Buddhist understanding and has made remarkable progress.

If he hadn't deliberately concealed it, his body would have been radiating golden light.

"The donor has a deep affinity with Buddhism; he may well be able to visit my Hanging Temple in the future."

"Not at all, it's all thanks to the young master's excellent teaching."

The immortal immortal and the Buddhist monk exchanged greetings.

"Unfortunately, my time has come. This humble monk must return to the slaughterhouse to contemplate the method of attaining Buddhahood by laying down the butcher's knife."

Shi Chan was very regretful. He felt he had met the Immortal Immortal too late, and the Immortal Immortal agreed with many of his views, showing that Shi Chan was much more enlightened than his own master.

This is a benefactor of great wisdom!

By making the acquaintance of the benefactor, his trip to the Ask Dao Sect was not in vain!

Under the influence of Buddhism, the three female ghosts, Xiao Wu, successfully advanced to the Golden Core stage.

This is only natural. Even if the higher-ups of the Immortal Cult are refined into vengeful spirits and forbidden from accessing Cultivation Resources, a few pointers from them can give Little Five and Three Ghosts a revolutionary understanding of cultivation, making them completely unnecessary for Cultivation Resources.

Furthermore, with the teachings and guidance of Buddhist monks, their souls underwent a transformation, naturally leading them to the Golden Core Elixir stage.

The disciples of the Ask Dao Sect all felt that the barbecue skewers had tasted even better in the past month.

Slaughtering livestock inevitably brings their resentment into the meat. While fire can drive away this resentment, its effect is still slightly inferior to that of Buddhism.

The leader and Vice Leader Kim would recite Buddhist scriptures to dispel resentment when slaughtering livestock.

Upon discovering this, the Immortal was overjoyed. "This is a great idea! I'll talk to the Second Master when I have the chance and see if we can extend this method to all the barbecue restaurants!"

This is proof of active labor reform.

"Brother Shi Chan, come again when you have the chance. If you have any needs, I will definitely fulfill them." Dai Bufan personally saw Shi Chan off.

Upon learning that his master was still alive, he believed that his good deeds had moved the abstinence master from afar, thus saving his master's life.

Zen Master does indeed need help with something.

"Brother Dai, could you lend me some travel expenses?"
