Chapter 1278

A pair of eyes stared at Lu Yang with a distant gaze, but no one noticed his presence; he seemed not to exist in this heaven and earth, untouched by any cause and effect.

I actually found another clue about him—what a troublesome brat; should I kill him to eliminate future trouble?

Although many immortals have gathered in the imperial capital now, it doesn't mean we cannot act.

Or should we alter the timeline and change reality?

That person stared at Lu Yang, pondered for a long time, and finally abandoned these two decisions.

No, this won't do—about to open the box world, acting now would be futile.

It was hard enough to make them believe I am Yao Sheng; they already thought I was dead. Even if this brat Lu Yang finds something suspicious, he shouldn't suspect me.

Exactly—in their eyes, this matter is already settled, everything has returned to calm, no need to be overly suspicious, for exposing oneself over such a small thing.

Moreover, although this brat Lu Yang is troublesome, his experiences are quite interesting; I really don't want to act against him.

The only remaining hidden danger is where that reincarnated person actually is.

Well, if I can't find him, others probably can't either—it's nothing significant.

That person again turned his gaze toward Lu Yang, his expression somewhat strange.

By the way, this brat Lu Yang really can guess—he actually guessed the origin of the initial spell correctly.

Lu Yang pondered for a long time, then raised his head and smiled with relief: "I can't figure it out, I won't think about it, I won't waste time here—let's go to the imperial palace."

"Go to the imperial palace?" The Eternal Immortal wondered.

"Yes, I'd like to ask the four seniors to meet at the imperial palace—would that work?"

"Are we going to break the seal?" The Eternal Immortal clenched his fists and rubbed his palms, finally having waited for this day.

The Immortal of Eternal Life also smiled at everyone: "You've never seen the true starry sky, have you? Today I'll open your eyes!"

Meng Jingzhou and Yun Mengmeng were both looking forward to it, especially Yun Mengmeng, who felt that leaving the secret realm to follow Xiao Zhi was the correct choice of her life, always encountering new things.

The crowd arrived at the Hall of Great Ming in the imperial palace; inside the hall were only Xia Di, Jiu Chong Xian, Jiang Ping'an, and Meng Junzi.

"Ancestor." Meng Jingzhou behaved very honestly and respectfully in front of Meng Junzi.

"Good lad, you've reached mid Tribulation Transcendence stage—you didn't embarrass me, your ancestor!" Meng Junzi laughed heartily; every time Meng Jingzhou brought him a surprise.

It's only been a few years, and he's already reached mid Tribulation Transcendence stage.

"My junior has broken through—Old Ginger, as your elder, shouldn't you show some reaction?" Meng Junzi put his arm around Meng Jingzhou and showed off in front of Jiang Ping'an.

"How about lending him the Supreme Sword to play with for two days?"

Jiang Ping'an glared angrily: "I'll give you one sword—about the same!"

"Don't be so stingy—if the Supreme Sword won't do, give him the Imperial Jade Seal instead."

Jiang Ping'an could bear it no longer, snatched the Imperial Jade Seal and hurled it at Meng Junzi, naturally dodged by Meng Junzi.

"This is the imperial throne." Yun Mengmeng walked around the throne in the hall, tapping and knocking on it.

"It doesn't feel comfortable sitting on it either—still not as comfortable as Xiao Zhi's chair."

She looked at Xia Di with eyes full of pity: "Being an emperor is enough to suffer."

"So you went to look for the Eternal Immortal, huh?" Jiu Chong Xian laughed: "We've already sent people to notify Qilin and Ying Tian—they should arrive soon."

"Haha, just standing at the door I heard someone talking about me." Ying Tian Xian laughed as he walked into the Hall of Great Ming, glanced around: "I was worried I'd be the last to come, but it seems Qilin is the last one."

While speaking, Qilin Xian arrived with Ao Ling and others, only a step behind Ying Tian Xian.

Ao Ling and the others greeted the Immortal of Eternal Life and Lu Yang with smiles.

"Lu Yang Senior Brother appearing here means you've successfully condensed the embryonic form of the Dao Fruit? Congratulations, congratulations."

"Of course—don't forget who nurtured Xiao Yangzi."

The Immortal of Eternal Life proudly said: "Xiao Yangzi only condensed the embryonic form of the Dao Fruit after perfectly understanding the Invincible Pill—far stronger than you two."

Ao Ling and Jiang Lianli smiled awkwardly: "If we're saying Lu Yang is the senior brother, then we two as junior sisters definitely can't compare."

"You two seniors are overpraising—"

Ao Ling, annoyed: "You're already half-immortals and still call us seniors?"

Lu Yang had no choice but to stiffly change his address: "Two senior sisters—. —-junior sisters overpraised."

Upon hearing Lu Yang call them junior sisters, Ao Ling and Jiang Lianli turned from anger to joy.

"Let's not talk about this anymore—since everyone's here, shall the seniors begin?" Lu Yang abruptly changed the subject.

"Then let's begin?" Ying Tian Xian said.

"Go."

"Look, there's movement over at the imperial palace!"

Outside the imperial palace, keen cultivators first noticed the abnormality.

Only to see four towering figures standing in the sky above the palace, each with a different form—one bathed in lightning as if chosen by heaven, one in a half-crouch pounding the ground with a single fist, one with arms crossed and a firm gaze, one sitting cross-legged in the void murmuring incantations.

Four figures, four forms, four auras—each is an independent existence, but together they give a feeling of standing tall and unshakable, indestructible.

"They are the ancient four immortals!"

The people of the imperial capital pointed excitedly at those four figures, never expecting the ancient four immortals to appear simultaneously in the capital.

Many people go through life without ever seeing an immortal once, yet they saw four at once—what great fortune!

"What are they going to do?" Those at the Unity Stage imagined more, their hearts surging.

"Are they going to break the seal!"

"Definitely!"

Unity Stage cultivators saw joy in each other's eyes, though they didn't know what the outside world was like.

Ying Tian Xian slowly raised his head, his gaze deep, piercing through endless space, looking toward the Spiritless Void above, his voice ancient and weathered, with a pause in the middle.

"Time—has it come?"

The half-crouching Qilin Xian rose, speaking of events unknown to the world: "I never imagined that battle long ago—"

The Absolute Heavenly Passage, forged over three hundred thousand years, has created this seal.

Immortal Jiu Chong's gaze was resolute as he too stared at the seal: "The mighty foe has fallen, the order disrupted for myriad ages has been restored to its proper course—this seal too should vanish."

The Eternal Immortal ceased chanting the scriptures; he seemed the eldest brother among the four, his voice not loud yet carrying great authority, giving an impression of indisputable certainty.

"The seal has imprisoned the world for far too long; it is time to break the seal, cleave heaven and earth, so that all may know what is the azure firmament, what is the cosmos!"

Having spoken, the Four Ancient Immortals, in silent accord, lifted their heads, transformed into four streams of colored light, and flew toward the Spiritless Realm.

Before the four-colored streams of light, before the Four Immortals who traverse antiquity, even the radiant sun must pale in comparison.

All beings in the Eastern Sea, the Demon Realm, the Buddhist Lands, and the Far North took note of these four presences.

The world fell into deathly silence; the Four Ancient Immortals were the focus of myriad gazes, as if heaven and earth held only these four.

Lu Yang watched eagerly as Immortal Jiu Chong employed his means, dimming the sun's brightness somewhat.

Should such matters be reported truthfully?
