Chapter 1125
Looking at the burned-out cultivation insights, the mastermind couldn't help but think of things from the ancient and primordial eras.
After achieving transcendence, his own existence transcended karma. His words and deeds were untainted by karma, free and unfettered. No one could perceive his existence, and he could do whatever he wanted.
He could incarnate into thousands, experience the various states of life, become the chief of a tribe and rule the tribe for hundreds of years, lead the tribe to grow strong, and annex other tribes. He could also become a loose cultivator, calling friends and companions, drinking and having fun, and being carefree for a thousand years. When he had experienced enough and played enough, he would disappear, and the things he had done would be corrected by the world.
In the memories of that tribe, the chief was someone else. Among the loose cultivator's friends, no one remembered that he had ever existed, and things were explained by other reasons.
He had many wives and concubines and gave birth to offspring without having to be responsible for his own actions.
He was lawless, indulged his desires, committed all kinds of evil, and didn't have to be responsible for his own actions.
"This is the true immortal, not bound by anything."
Even knowing that the five ancient immortals had become immortals one after another, he didn't take it to heart.
So what if they became immortals? The final result was just transcendence like him. He was untainted by karma, and his existence wouldn't affect later cultivators from achieving transcendence.
But he never expected that there was more than one path after becoming an immortal. Besides transcendence, there was omniscience.
In order to avoid affecting himself, he ambushed the Immortal Fairy while she was breaking through. He originally thought it would be like usual, that the things he did would be untainted by karma, and the world would forget the Immortal Fairy.
For ordinary immortals, he could achieve being untainted by karma. For example, during the Xin Huo Dynasty period, he assassinated the Years Immortal, but a memory automatically popped up in the Qilin Immortal's mind that it was he who killed the Years Immortal. This was grafting the karma he produced onto the Qilin Immortal.
But he happened to choose the Immortal Fairy as his target.
A long time passed after that incident before the mastermind figured it out. The Immortal Fairy was half-step omniscient, and the karma was too heavy to completely eliminate these karmas, which led to the world forgetting the Immortal Fairy, but the four ancient immortals didn't completely forget.
"I wasn't familiar enough with the omniscience realm at the time." The mastermind sighed. After all, it was a field he had never come into contact with. If he had known more, he would definitely have chosen a different method to deal with the Immortal Fairy and wouldn't have used such a crude act.
Forty thousand years had passed, and he knew enough about the omniscience realm to know that no one in the current world would be able to promote to transcendence and expose his identity.
"Although this kid Lu Yang is karma-entangled and every action has an impact on the world, the Source-Tracing Dao fruit is of the karma-cutting type and cannot become omniscient."
"Although the Immortal Fairy possesses the Immortality Dao fruit and has had one breakthrough experience, that breakthrough was interrupted by me, and the accumulated karma also dissipated for the most part along with the disappearance of the world's memories."
"After she was resurrected, she has been attached to Lu Yang's mental space, and the karma generated during this period has been transferred to Lu Yang, so it is also difficult to achieve omniscience."
Naturally, he couldn't achieve omniscience either. He was already on the path of transcendence, and to become omniscient, he had to abandon his cultivation and start from scratch.
After the four returned to the villa, it was only after a few days that they discovered that the spiritual energy overflowing from the cave dwelling had actually allowed Blue Star to enter the Age of Spiritual Energy Recovery.
Because high-level officials took the initiative to find Xia He, saying that a mysterious energy had appeared recently. According to famous sects like the Orthodox Sect and Long Hu Mountain, this mysterious energy was called "spiritual energy," which could be used for cultivation to make people immune to all poisons and heal all diseases. Xia He's illness had the possibility of being cured.
"It's a good thing." Xia He said flatly, without giving much response.
She guessed that the other party's purpose wasn't just to tell her this good news, but also that they wanted to see Lu Yang. Lu Yang considered that his identity on Blue Star was special; if you counted it, he had once ruled Blue Star, and his prestige was higher than Xia He's. Meeting with the current rulers of Blue Star might be a bit awkward, so he didn't take the initiative to show up.
The attention of Blue Star's high-level officials couldn't help but be placed on a platter of fruit slices on the table. Usually, when people of their level met, the fruit platter placed here was just a decoration, but he always felt that this fruit platter was a bit "fragrant"?
It wasn't the fragrance of food, but more like a longing from the depths of the soul.
He ate a piece of peach with a toothpick and was surprised to feel that his whole body was extremely transparent, and his body was much lighter, and various geriatric diseases had healed themselves.
Was this fruit brought by General Lu?
This reminded him of the longevity peaches in myths and legends. The old Heavenly Master of the Orthodox Sect had once said that the rare treasures in myths were not necessarily just legends, but things that had once existed. It was just that the Age of Dharma Decline had arrived, and those rare items had disappeared.
It was impossible for Old Xia not to know the efficacy of these fruits. If she could eat this kind of fruit, was she really still nearing the end of her life?
After the Blue Star high-level officials left, Lu Yang appeared.
"I didn't expect it. So the Orthodox Sect and the others know about spiritual energy; they probably obtained some ancient books." Lu Yang laughed. The recovery of spiritual energy was definitely a good thing for Blue Star.
Originally, his idea was to build a space gate between the Cultivation Realm and Blue Star, but looking at Blue Star now, it might be better to let Blue Star develop on its own for a period of time.

"I'll give Blue Star a push." Lu Yang said. Now that spiritual energy had just recovered, everyone was at the same starting line, and the official authorities were also at the starting line. In the stage of spiritual energy recovery, they might encounter many problems.
Cultivators were fine; their cultivation bases weren't high, so they couldn't cause too much of a stir. The problem lay in those spiritual treasures scattered in various places, which were definitely great killing weapons. With the official authorities' existing capabilities, it was difficult to solve them. Lu Yang decided to live in his old home for a period of time to help Blue Star get through the initial stage.
"What are you going to do, and what do you need me to do?" Xia He asked.
"Write some basic principles about the application of spiritual energy, as well as methods for testing spiritual roots. After writing them, you will transfer these things to the high-level officials."
Then Lu Yang took out another storage ring; it was the evil monk Ban Bu's storage ring.
"Then let's add some more spiritual energy to Blue Star."
The storage ring of a veteran Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator had a considerable amount of spirit stones stored. Lu Yang forcibly erased the restriction, took out piles of spirit stones, patted them into fragments, and released the spiritual energy, making Blue Star's spiritual energy increasingly rich.
"Wow, so many spirit stones." Bai Shuang's eyes lit up when she saw these spirit stones. Ever since she came into contact with spiritual energy, she realized what kind of bitter life she had lived before. As an innate lifeform, she couldn't exert one ten-thousandth of an innate lifeform's ability, which was too shameful for an innate lifeform.
"Why are they all scattering away?" Bai Shuang watched helplessly as patches of spiritual energy floated away, feeling very greedy.
"With me here, how could Sister Bai be short of spirit stones." Lu Yang joked, taking out piles of top-grade spirit stones from his identity jade plate. Although he was as poor as a church mouse compared to the Immortal Fairy, he was rich enough to make a Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator jealous compared to a Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator.
"From now on, I'll cover all of Sister Bai's cultivation resources."
Bai Shuang had never known that being kept was such a happy thing.
