Chapter 1152

"Where is the Bone Hermit?" The two bandits' natal magic treasures activated, yet they lost their target.

Previously worried about being detected by the Bone Hermit, they dared not use divine sense to probe, but now it's fine—after tossing about for half a day, they don't even know where the person went. "Big brother, is your intel accurate?"

"Of course it's accurate—Bone Hermit was definitely here earlier!" The elder brother said firmly, his intel source absolutely reliable, "Looks like he shifted his position!"

"If he's not here, he's not here—big brother, let's go." The younger brother felt a creepy sensation; regardless of whether Bone Hermit had been here before, he found this place extremely strange. Though they were Spirit Transformation stage cultivators, they were far from invincible—the world holds many unknowns, and the more you know, the faster you die.

The elder brother refused to believe it, searching inside and outside the cave thoroughly, not even finding a single hair, and couldn't help cursing: "Damn, cleaned up spotless, nothing left—fine, let's go."

On the way back, the younger brother saw the elder brother sullen and tried to cheer him up: "Big brother, let's cheer up—lucky Bone Hermit isn't here; if he were, he'd still use curse techniques or such sinister methods, and we'd both have fallen there, right?"

Although both are Spirit Transformation stage, the two of them have a numerical advantage, yet this cannot completely determine victory or defeat.

For example, Lu Yang, whose outstanding talent allows him to fight above his level, or cultivators who master obscure arts like time and causality.

The elder brother impatiently waved his hand: "Go on, go on, you brat just know how to blindly comfort people—curse techniques like that aren't this easy to encounter.".

Mental space.

Lu Yang pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked: "Senior Suiyue, between you and Senior Ying Tian, who is stronger?"

Suiyue Xian was startled, then immediately understood Lu Yang's meaning, and said with a strange expression: "Although I've always said I'm stronger than those three, if we truly discuss our insight into the Dao fruit, I and Ying Tian are actually not far apart."

"Are you trying to say that the immortality immortal and Daoist friend Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi have a resonance because they're strong enough, and I have a resonance because this matter involves 'time'?" Lu Yang nodded: "That's the meaning."

To get to the root of this matter, first we must find the differences between the eldest senior sister, the fairy, and Suiyue Xian. And the greatest difference is that Suiyue Xian is not strong enough.

Since Suiyue Xian isn't strong enough yet can sense the change, while Ying Tian Xian and others feel nothing, it shows the problem lies with "time." Suiyue Xian originally wanted to nod, but suddenly realized something was off: "Wait, haven't you also vaguely sensed something?"

"Although you're an immortal body, you're still not as strong as me."

Lu Yang openly admitted: "I have the protection of the immortality immortal." Suiyue Xian: ".."

Lu Yang then recalled another matter: "Moreover, Senior Suiyue, you were ambushed during the late Xin Fire Dynasty, and you also suspected the behind-the-scenes black hand's ability is related to time, right?" "Yes, I think so."

Suiyue Xian continued: "I've already used the Suiyue Dao fruit to examine it, and there's no phenomenon of time reversal, so it's not time reversal." Suiyue Xian has great confidence in her Dao fruit—no matter how powerful the behind-the-scenes black hand is, it's impossible for them to tamper here and deceive her.

Speaking of this, Suiyue Xian stood up, hands behind her back, walking around the three people in circles, her train of thought somewhat stuck.

Related to time, yet not time reversal, yet feeling like something was forgotten—what exactly is the behind-the-scenes black hand's method? "Perhaps what Left Historian Immortal saw in the past is also the same as the method the behind-the-scenes black hand is currently employing." Lu Yang lowered his head, muttering to himself.

Hearing Lu Yang mutter, Suiyue Xian abruptly stopped, her eyes lighting up: "Wait, could it be.." "What is it?"

"Timeline! The behind-the-scenes black hand can control the timeline!"

"Timeline?" Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi repeated it once—this was a term she had never heard before.

Originally Lu Yang just wanted to guess it was the timeline, but he wasn't sure whether, in Suiyue Xian's view, this phenomenon would be called a "timeline," so he muttered as a hint. Suiyue Xian crouched on the ground, using a tree branch to draw a straight line, headless and tailless.

"This line represents time."

He could actually demonstrate it with a spell, but his true form is the building wood, and he prefers using tree branches to draw and explain principles—it's his nature. Then he picked a point on the straight line: "This is now."

Suiyue Xian took this point as the starting point and drew a semicircle backward: "From now returning to the past, this is called time backflow." "The other end of the semicircle where it meets time is the 'past'."

"That child Tang Chuanwu is exactly this situation—he returned to the past, did some things, and the future would change."

Suiyue Xian erased the line from "past" to "future," then took "past" as the starting point and drew a line slightly deviating from the original future. "After changing the future, the original future will disappear—this is the basic principle of time backflow."

Suiyue Xian then pointed to the point representing "past," and with an unprecedented solemn tone said: "I suspect the behind-the-scenes black hand's method is not through time backflow, but directly altering past events, causing the future to change!"

"That's why the immortality immortal and Daoist friend Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi appear to have forgotten something!"

"Lu Xiaoyou's words reminded me—do you all still remember what Left Historian Immortal saw in the past? Our four personalities have greatly changed, and the immortality immortal alone deduced the path to fruition and immortality." "Perhaps this is the false worldline fabricated by the behind-the-scenes black hand, deliberately shown to Left Historian Immortal!"

"Ah, that makes sense now—everything fits!"

Suiyue Xian spoke with increasing excitement—after four hundred thousand years, she could finally confirm the behind-the-scenes black hand's method, or rather, one of their methods. "No, I can't be so hasty in drawing a conclusion—perhaps there's still something I haven't guessed."

Suiyue Xian quickly calmed down—the assassination thirty thousand years ago made her cautious and careful, while the behind-the-scenes black hand still has many mysteries unsolved; being too hasty in drawing conclusions might lead them further down the wrong path.

Still lacking one proof of the method.

The Suiyue Dao fruit's ability cannot be used for verification.

Seeing the atmosphere grow somewhat awkward, Suiyue Xian silent, the eldest senior sister and immortality immortal also not speaking, lost in thought, Lu Yang cautiously raised his hand to show his presence: "Perhaps I have a way."

"What way do you have?" Suiyue Xian was very surprised—he couldn't think of a way to verify the method, but you just will? The eldest senior sister and immortality immortal also looked toward Lu Yang, wanting to know what good idea he had.

Being watched by the three, especially with the gazes of the eldest senior sister and immortality immortal seeming to still convey unreasonable trust and expectation, Lu Yang felt great pressure: "Maybe—I'm just saying maybe, after all, I haven't tried it either."

"I will foresee the future."
