Chapter 1263: The Ancient Five Immortals Gather Together

In the Mahavira Hall, the Time Immortal and the Qilin Immortal, both possessing immeasurable golden bodies, argued fiercely, neither yielding to the other, while Ying Tian Xian and Immortal Jiu Chong stood aside watching, unsure how to intervene.

Lu Yang stood at the gate, trying to minimize his presence.

"Not convinced? Then let's spar!"

"Come on, if you want to spar, then spar—who's afraid of whom!" The Time Immortal slapped his chest with a thunderous sound; this was about dignity, and on this matter he would absolutely not back down.

The Qilin Immortal transformed, shifting back into his true Qilin form, warming up on the spot with his body crackling, adjusting himself to peak condition, demonic aura and holiness coexisting, the Sovereign of Ten Thousand Demons once again reigning over the world.

The Time Immortal glared with fury, his aura undiminished, turning his back to the Qilin Immortal: "I'll just stand here motionless and let you hit me!"

The Qilin Immortal rubbed his right hind leg back and forth against the ground, accompanied by a roar, and slapped the Time Immortal with one claw.

Only a thunderous boom was heard as the Time Immortal was slapped against the wall, wall plaster flaking down, the entire Mahavira Hall shaking, birds perched on the eaves startled into fluttering their wings and flying away.

As the Time Immortal slid down, his imprint remained on the wall.

The abbot Master Ming Yu, who had been guarding nearby, was startled by this scene: "Even if the entire Xiti Temple collapsed, I never saw the Mahavira Hall shake even slightly—Lu Xiaoyou, what's going on with you?"

"Nothing much, just reconstructing ancient history."

Having said that, Lu Yang silently shut the gate—such an embarrassing thing shouldn't be seen by outsiders.

"Cough—cough—"

The Time Immortal clutched his chest and coughed hard; that slap was really hard to take, the force transmitting from his back to his front chest.

Although he was in a severely injured state, he was still far from being beaten to death.

While speaking, the Time Immortal activated the Time Dao Fruit, reversing his own time to restore himself to an unblemished state.

"See what I said earlier—just based on you, you still can't kill me?"

"This isn't right." The Qilin Immortal looked dubiously at his own claw; in his memory, that was exactly how he had succeeded in ambushing the Time Immortal.

How did it fail?

"That didn't count—I wasn't in my best state then; Ying Tian and Jiu Chong, you two should cooperate with me and admit defeat once more."

When fighting Yao Sheng, the Qilin Immortal had defeated Ying Tian Xian and Immortal Jiu Chong, boosting his combat power, but unlike defeating the Zhongtian Emperor with the Qilin Immortal, this kind of "fixed match" battle could only temporarily boost combat power, which would revert to normal after the fight.

Upon seeing this, the Time Immortal immediately snapped: "Get lost, you bastard—when you assassinated me, did those two cooperate with you and admit defeat?"

"Then what's going on here?"

The Qilin Immortal frowned in confusion; he remembered the events clearly, and for three hundred thousand years he had often recalled that scene in his mind—it was practically a nightmare.

How come simulating it on-site now produces results different from his memory?

"Well, I have a guess." Lu Yang, seeing the fight was over, raised his hand to make his presence known.

Only then did the Qilin Immortal and the Time Immortal notice Lu Yang approaching.

The Ancient Five Immortals all turned their gaze toward Lu Yang.

"Yao Sheng's 'words become law' Dao Fruit should have the ability to alter reality."

"You seniors should remember: when Immortal Zi Yun passed away, everyone in the world forgot her, and even the things she did became credited to you seniors."

For example, Ying Tian Xian still bears the title of Ancestor of Spirit Chefs.

"This shows Yao Sheng can alter both reality and memory."

"But the four of us didn't lose our memories then." Immortal Jiu Chong frowned.

Ying Tian Xian understood Lu Yang's meaning: "Maybe it's a matter of scale."

"When the Immortals fell, Yao Sheng altered the reality of the entire world and the memories of all living beings."

"If, during the decline of the Xinfire Dynasty, he assassinated the Time Immortal and only altered the Qilin Immortal's memory?"

Different scales of spellcasting naturally produce different effects.

"Is, is that it?"

The Qilin Immortal couldn't quite react, mainly because his memory was too clear, yet reality completely contradicted it—even with reality laid before him, it was hard to equate the two.

The Qilin Immortal fell silent for a moment, then erupted in an unprecedented roar: "Yao Sheng, I fuck your grandfather!"

He had blamed himself for three hundred thousand years, the thought of suicide flashing back and forth several times, his wife afraid to see him, his brothers afraid to see him, and in the end he discovered it was that bastard Yao Sheng who had altered his memory.

Yao Sheng died too early!

"Alright, cheer up—it's fine as long as it wasn't you who did it."

Ying Tian Xian put his arm around the Qilin Immortal's shoulder, kindly comforting: "Think positively—even if Yao Sheng revived, you still couldn't beat him, right?"

The Qilin Immortal glanced at Ying Tian Xian: "You comfort people like this?"

"Wait, were you and Jiu Chong previously hitting me over this, even specifically aiming for the face?"

Ying Tian Xian's expression shifted slightly, and he quietly loosened his grip on the Qilin Immortal's shoulder: "Hey, hey, hey, you're making sense—back then you volunteered to take the hits."

Look at the flawless version!

"I'm not volunteering anymore!"

The Qilin Immortal and Ying Tian Xian moved simultaneously—the Qilin Immortal lunged at Ying Tian Xian, who dodged to the side.

"Jiu Chong, don't just watch—after he hits me, it's your turn to hit him, come help!"

Even without Ying Tian Xian's reminder, Immortal Jiu Chong realized this and joined the battle.

The Qilin Immortal, mighty and formidable, took on two opponents and gained the upper hand!

Abbot Master Ming Yu, seeing the Mahavira Hall continuously shaking, worried and knocked on the door, asking what was happening inside.

The gate creaked open a crack, and Lu Yang poked his head out: "Nothing major, just an immortal battle broke out."

"Ah?"

Through the crack, Abbot Master Ming Yu saw two strangers fighting a Qilin, incense burners and offering trays flying everywhere, while the Time Immortal stood aside watching, completely unwilling to intervene.

These incense burners and offering trays, having undergone the baptism of incense, were of quality equal to immortal artifacts.

Abbot Master Ming Yu felt that although he was several thousand years older than Lu Yang, in terms of experience he was far inferior—Lu Yang showed no surprise at this scene.

Lu Yang shut the gate again.

The three immortals stood in a tripartite standoff, Ying Tian Xian holding the incense burner, Immortal Jiu Chong holding the offering tray, and Lu Yang eating the offerings.

Ying Tian Xian warily watched Immortal Jiu Chong and the other immortal, then suddenly burst into loud laughter, tears streaming from his eyes.

The other two were infected by his laughter and also burst out laughing.

Ying Tian Xian laughed while waving his hands, laughing so hard he couldn't straighten his waist, and simply lay down on the ground: "Enough, enough, I won't fight anymore, you guys can hit me however you want."

Immortal Jiu Chong and the one lying on the ground, exhausted: "Tch, who would want to hit you anyway."

As the eldest brother, the Eternal Immortal originally wanted to sit dignifiedly, but seeing his brothers all lying down, he also directly lay on the ground.

The misunderstanding cleared, the Four Ancient Immortals reunited once more, lying on the ground, only feeling that time was peaceful.

They had waited for this day for three hundred thousand years, too long, really too long.

The Immortal of Eternity likewise felt it was not easy for everyone to gather together: "Since everyone has gathered with great difficulty, let me show you a trick, guaranteed to be what you all like to eat."

The Immortal of Eternity's words brought them back to reality, the Four Ancient Immortals frightened and simultaneously sat up, saying no need.
