The True Identity of the Nameless One from Ancient Times
There are many cultivators capable of reaching the very bottom of the continent, but very few actually do so; they lack the awareness to do so.
Lu Yang was no exception; he had never considered using the Shrinking Earth technique to travel to the very bottom of the continent and see the scenery on the other side.
Only after his third senior sister said that did he take action.
The bottom of the continent was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. Lu Yang wanted to use his Divine Sense to explore, but was stopped by the Immortal Fairy.
"Don't try to see it with your Divine Sense. This thing is beyond your comprehension; even one glance would overwhelm your brain."
Lu Yang obediently withdrew, leaving the immortal's affairs to the immortal to handle; he would not interfere.
"Stay away, I'm afraid something might happen and affect you."
This was the first time the Immortal Fairy had seen such a thing. According to the little girl Gan Tian's description, the characteristic of this thing was that it could not be penetrated, but who knew if it had any other uses, such as damage reflection or something.
Lu Yang retreated again.
Why did you rush so far?
The Immortal Fairy called Lu Yang back again, and Lu Yang obediently returned. The Immortal Fairy gently tapped Lu Yang's forehead twice, and her divine sense connected the two of them.
In this way, no matter how far Lu Yang runs, as long as he stays within the range of the immortal's senses, the two can still communicate.
However, to prevent Lu Yang from suffering a mental shock, the Immortal Fairy did not share the perspective as she did last time.
"Alright, you can go now."
Seeing that Lu Yang had reached a safe area, the Immortal Fairy spread out her divine sense and analyzed the continent inch by inch. Under the powerful divine sense, the underlying structure of the continent was revealed before her eyes, and the more she looked, the more her brows furrowed.
"There are two barriers here, one for those in the Tribulation Transcendence stage and the other for those in the Immortal stage. The first barrier is impenetrable to those in the Tribulation Transcendence stage, and the second barrier is impenetrable to those in the Immortal stage."
"Is there no corresponding position for the fortune teller?"
"The biggest difference between a half-immortal and Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator lies in mastering the rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit. You can consider a half-immortal as a transitional stage between the Tribulation Transcendence stage and an immortal. If you master the rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit at the early stage of Tribulation Transcendence, you are a half-immortal. If you master the rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit at the peak of Tribulation Transcendence, you are still a half-immortal."
"The difference between these two types of semi-immortals lies in their underlying strength."
"Only when a half-immortal completes the condensation of their Dao Fruit and becomes an immortal will their overall strength experience a qualitative leap."
"So that's how it is."
Although Lu Yang is only at the eighth level of the Golden Core stage, he has already mastered a vast amount of knowledge that even those at the Tribulation Transcendence stage may not be able to grasp.
"What a complex structure! Who laid this out?"
The Immortal Fairy gently tapped the first barrier, which was then pierced. Countless runes flashed and converged into a beam of white light. The white light flashed, and the barrier returned to its original state, perfectly sealed, as if it had not been damaged at all.
This process takes less than half a breath.
When the immortal fairy struck the barrier in the same way, the barrier remained unchanged, without the slightest damage or flaw.
"This is..."
The immortal fairy hesitated.
"Fairy, is there a problem?"
"The barrier is at work through two kinds of spiritual attainments."
"Two kinds?"
"The Dao Fruit of Time of the Immortal of Time and the Dao Fruit of Survival of the Fittest of the Qilin Immortal."
"The Dao Fruit of Time reverses time, restoring the damaged barrier to its original state, while the Dao Fruit of Survival of the Fittest prevents the same attacks from breaking through the barrier."
"Wait, no, this barrier's strength also includes the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit of a Ninth-Level Immortal. The Yin-Yang Dao Fruit enhances the barrier with the concept of 'the hardest.' The first layer of the barrier is so hard that even Tribulation Transcendence Transcending cultivator can't break through it, and the second layer is so hard that even the power of an immortal can't break through it."
The essence of the Dao Fruit is to add a rule to the world. If the Immortal Fairy wants, she can add an "Immortal Rule" to the whole world, making everyone immortal.
The same principle applies to barriers. The three immortals, the Time Immortal, the Qilin Immortal, and the Nine Heavens Immortal, extended the rules of the Dao Fruit to the barrier, making it indestructible and the hardest existence that even immortals cannot break through.
"That's still not right. If these three kinds of Dao Fruits existed, I should be able to tell them at a glance, instead of repeatedly experimenting and inferring the Dao Fruit from the phenomena... Unless there is also the Tribulation-Responding Dao Fruit of a Celestial Immortal."
"Yes, there should also be the Dao Fruit of Tribulation. Ying Tianxian used the Dao Fruit to unleash 'Immeasurable Tribulation,' completely disrupting, shattering, and reassembling the Dao Fruit rules of the three, including Suiyuexian."
What is "immeasurable eons"?
"It's a bit complicated to explain, but you can think of it as the biggest and most chaotic calamity. Even the Celestial Immortal himself couldn't break free from this calamity."
"To unleash immeasurable eons on a barrier is like tying a knot that cannot be untied unless the rope is cut."
"So this barrier was created by the Four Immortals of High Antiquity, but even if you summon all four of them, they still can't break it?"
That's what I mean.
Lu Yang gasped. The Four Immortals of High Antiquity were playing dirty tricks; what were they planning?
"So, the so-called nameless High Antiquity people are the Four Immortals of High Antiquity?"
Now that the barrier's structure has been completed and is attributed to the Four Immortals of High Antiquity, then the High Antiquity figure who refined stars into continents is also High Antiquity Four Immortals?
Everyone is caught in a misconception: the nameless High Antiquity people were not one person, but four.
"It was those four!" The Immortal Fairy nodded firmly, a relaxed smile spreading across her face. "I knew my death had nothing to do with them."
Lu Yang hesitated, feeling that the Immortal Fairy was jumping to conclusions too quickly. Could this rule out the possibility that the Four High Antiquity Immortals had joined forces to murder the Immortal Fairy?
"I have my reasons for drawing this conclusion." The Immortal Fairy changed the subject and asked another question, "Do you know how to break through this barrier?"
The cage set up by the four High Antiquity immortals is so powerful that even immortals cannot open it, according to the Immortal Fairy. Therefore, all living beings in the world will have to live in the cage for all eternity.
How to break it?
"The greatest trouble is the immeasurable eons. The immeasurable eons are like a box with ten thousand locks, and you have ten thousand keys that you don't know which lock they correspond to. You need to use one key to open one lock. You can't fail in this process. If you make a mistake, you have to start all over again. It's purely a matter of luck."
"To break through the immeasurable calamity, one can only attack continuously with the combat power of an immortal. However, due to the existence of the Dao Fruit of Survival of the Fittest, immortal-level attacks cannot be reused."
"Then..." Following the Immortal Fairy's train of thought, Lu Yang came up with a solution.
"Therefore, my existence is necessary. My self-destruction is not restricted by the survival of the fittest Dao Fruit, and the way I self-destruct is different each time."
"To break the prison barrier, we, the Five Immortals of High Antiquity, need to act simultaneously. I and Yingtian Immortal will break the immeasurable tribulation, while Suiyue Immortal, Qilin Immortal, and Jiuchong Immortal will unlock the restrictions of the rules!"
Lu Yang's mind went blank for a moment. Combining the existing evidence with everything he could think of, and recalling the scene from 300,000 years ago, he understood why the Immortal Fairy was so certain that it wasn't the Four Immortals of High Antiquity who were behind it.
After the Immortal Fairy died, the Four Immortals of High Antiquity could not find the murderer. At the same time, due to certain reasons, they were unable to resurrect the Immortal Fairy. So they joined forces and used an astonishing method to refine the stars into a continent.
This is a blatant declaration to the murderer: either resurrect the immortal fairy and break the cage, or everyone is trapped inside, and no one can escape!!!
