Chapter 1264

"You've just gone through a battle, Immortal, you must be tired, no need to trouble yourself further."

"Huh? But I'm not tired..."

"We appreciate your kindness, Immortal, just rest well."

"After all, Buddha's Realm is my domain—how could I let guests cook? I happen to have some offerings here..."

As he spoke, Lu Yang picked up the last pastry, saw the Immortal of Time looking at him, and guiltily put it back.

While observing the three immortals' battle earlier, Lu Yang ate and watched, thoroughly enjoying himself.

Immortal of Time: "..."

You really don't treat yourself as an outsider, do you!

"I'll have someone prepare food right away."

Immortal of Time sent a voice transmission to Abbot Master Ming Yu, asking him to bring up the finest spiritual food for celebration.

Soon, various porridges were set before everyone, bubbling and steaming—clearly freshly made.

Ying Tian Xian and the others silently looked at Immortal of Time: "What exactly is this you're serving us?"

Immortal of Time awkwardly cleared his throat twice, then sent a voice transmission to Abbot Master Ming Yu: "Not these—get some spiritual fruit pastries or something like that."

Fortunately, everyone cared more about the atmosphere than what they ate, and soon the mood returned to warm and harmonious.

The ancient five immortals reminisced about the past, laughing continuously; Lu Yang, infected by the atmosphere, laughed too, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two.

Immortal Jiu Chong grew suspicious: "Little Friend Lu seems to know quite a bit about our experiences from ancient times?"

Before Lu Yang could answer, Immortal Wujiu stood up proudly and said: "Of course—I told Xiao Yangzi everything about our ancient era!"

"For example, Jiu Chong, to make sure the world remembers you were the first to ascend, you spent vast amounts of heavenly treasures and earthly riches, creating heaven-and-earth phenomena during your ascension tribulation."

"For example, Time Immortal, you asked me how many heroes there were in the world, who could ascend, and you went through everyone, saying you were the first to ascend—then you got beaten."

"For example, Qilin, your sword formation that goes soft at a touch was refined by Ying Tian Xian."

Immortal Wujiu counted on her fingers, recalling what she had told Lu Yang; with each point, someone's expression changed dramatically.

Only Ying Tian Xian remained calm and unbearing grudges.

Lu Yang suddenly felt the previously warm and harmonious atmosphere shift slightly.

Immortal of Time stood up, smiling warmly, walked to Lu Yang's side, and said: "Little Friend Lu, reviving Immortal Wujiu is indeed great merit—come, let me toast you."

There is no wine in Xiti Temple; Immortal of Time held a bowl of porridge.

Though it was gratitude, Lu Yang felt Immortal of Time's gaze was dangerous no matter how he looked at it.

"Little Friend Lu, I also toast you."

"I also toast."

Immortal Jiu Chong and Immortal Qilin rose in turn, holding bowls of porridge to toast Lu Yang, Lu Yang's hand trembling as he held his bowl.

Fortunately, Ying Tian Xian had already settled his score with Lu Yang and now bore no grudge, kindly mediating: "By the way, Little Friend Lu, have you encountered anything interesting outside the box world?"

"Yes, yes—tell us what it's like outside the box world now?"

Others were also curious.

Lu Yang's expression turned somewhat strange: "Not really fun—at first I just went to the hospital, saw a Physician... then ran into a zombie crisis... later discovered that crisis was caused by a place called the Candlelight Civilization..."

Lu Yang truthfully recounted his experiences before entering the box world; the immortals listened with great interest, finding the outside world vastly different from their imagination.

"Should we break the seal and open the box?" Immortal Jiu Chong proposed.

They refined stars into continents precisely to revive Immortal Wujiu and prevent the mastermind behind the scenes from escaping.

Now Immortal Wujiu has been revived, Yao Sheng has already been executed—there's no need to keep the seal anymore.

They all came from ancient times, knowing how vast the starry sky is, but the people of the box world don't—perfect chance to let them see the true starry sky.

Moreover, they originally thought that when they set the seal, they had already collected all living beings in the universe; hearing Lu Yang's account, there are still beings outside—likely remote, beyond the collection range.

"Yes, I have no objection."

"I agree."

"I agree too."

The four ancient immortals expressed their views in turn,

"Not bad—after going out, help Little Friend Lu find his original planet, and by the way, look for my North Star." Immortal Wujiu said cheerfully.

Actually, the Central Heaven Emperor had always misunderstood the seal—breaking it requires not just the four ancient immortals working together, but all five.

Lu Yang felt an itch in his heart—he also wanted to see the outside world. When he first came to the Cultivation Realm, he thought he'd never see his past life again; since fate had parted them, he stopped thinking about it and focused on enjoying this hard-won life.

Who would have thought the outside of the box world is his own world, and there's still much he cares about out there—like how Blue Star is doing, or how the Candlelight Civilization is faring.

"But since it's a complete seal-breaking, it's not urgent now—there's still much preparation to do."

In a one-look-no-mistake version!

Lu Yang said seriously, though he very much wants to go outside, this kind of thing cannot be rushed.

Breaking the seal and opening the box world would be a major upheaval for the entire Cultivation Realm, especially for cultivators who can traverse the cosmos—Daxia is still manageable, with cultivators generally law-abiding, but the cultivators and demon clans of the Buddhist Realm, Demon Realm, and Eastern Sea—once they hear this, they won't be able to stay still and will rush out in a swarm.

Propaganda methods, response plans, behavioral norms—all need to be considered.

Even if we ignore the distant future, we can't have them sitting here eating a meal, discussing "let's break the seal," then breaking it right after finishing the meal.

At the very least, we must inform Senior Sister and Jiang Ping'an and others in advance.

"Exactly—then let's take it step by step." Ying Tian Xian and the others laughed, saying they now lack nothing but time.

Seeing the meal was nearly over, Immortal Wujiu asked: "What are your plans? Want to come sit at our Questions Dao Sect?"

"Sure."

Ying Tian Xian and Immortal Jiu Chong have both been to the Questions Dao Sect; after the timeline shifted, Immortal of Time hurried over once to search for Immortal Wujiu and Yun Zhi, while Immortal Qilin has never been there.

Before leaving Xiti Temple, Lu Yang glanced at Xin Ding—Xin Ding is very suited for Buddhism, diligently cultivating step by step, already made a great name in the Buddhist Realm; Lu Yang felt that with Xin Ding's talent, given time, becoming the new abbot is no problem.

Then he felt reassured leaving.

A group of six people, five immortals and one at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, roughly speaking, makes six immortals.

The six immortals rushed on their way, moving at a speed beyond comparison, and soon arrived at the Ask Dao Sect.

"Senior Brother Dai, I brought a few guests to tour our sect..."

Lu Yang skillfully came to the Mission Hall, pushed open Dai Bufan's room, and found it empty.

Upon inquiry, he learned that Dai Bufan had taken sick leave, which Lu Yang regretted, for the visit of the four ancient immortals to the Ask Dao Sect was a great matter, how could Senior Brother Dai miss such fortune?

He had no choice but to bring the five ancient immortals to Heavenly Gate Peak to find the eldest senior sister.

"Eldest Senior Sister, I heard Senior Brother Dai is on sick leave—what happened to him? I'd like to visit him."

Yun Zhi lifted her eyelids slightly, also feeling a bit puzzled.

"He's sick? Just now when I went to find him about something, he was perfectly fine."

"What did you say to him?"

"Nothing much—just that the Jiuyou Sect and the Yaoyang Sect had surrendered to the junior brother Man, I had captured the Central Heaven Emperor, the four ancient immortals had refined the stars into a continent to resolve Yao Sheng, I had helped the ancient immortals deal with Yao Sheng, the four ancient immortals should visit our sect, so let him prepare."

Yun Zhi thought for a moment: "Nothing else, just that."
