Chapter 1353

Inside the cave dwelling, time seemed to lose all meaning here, with everything flowing in reverse.

The tattered cultivation manuals were restored to pristine condition, blooming flowers reverted to buds, the peach pit Lu Yang often played with transformed into an immortal peach, and even Lu Yang's cultivation realm continuously regressed.

Tribulation Transcendence stage, Void Refinement stage…… Foundation Establishment stage, Qi Refining stage, mortal, and even their appearances shifted from youth to adolescence, then from adolescence to childhood.

When they became infants in swaddling clothes, the transformation continued, taking on the form of their past lives, then further regressing to the peak of Tribulation Transcendence.

Everything within the cave dwelling underwent cyclical changes, repeating endlessly without cease.

This signified that Lu Yang's comprehension of the embryonic form of the Dao Fruit of Traceback had advanced to a higher level.

In fact, when Lu Yang was in the Immortal Maiden's cave dwelling and realized that the method used by the hidden master behind the scenes to achieve transcendence was similar to Huang Doudou's method of transcendence, with ancient events unfolding during the Xin Fire Dynasty era while all things in the world were caught in reincarnation, Lu Yang's grasp of the embryonic form of the Dao Fruit of Traceback took a great leap forward.

He merely feared that the hidden master was nearby and dared not reveal it, deliberately delaying for a long time, pretending to have experienced many things, so that his understanding of the Dao Fruit of Traceback became what it is now.

Now his state is complete, his cultivation continuously rising, having brought his Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivation to its limit, perfectly matching the completion of the Dao Fruit's embryonic form, achieving immortality in one fell swoop!

From the perspective of ability, Lu Yang's Dao Fruit of Traceback shares many similarities with the Dao Fruit of Time, both capable of reversing time and regressing cultivation.

Dao Fruit abilities often share similarities—for instance, Time Immortals can use the Dao Fruit of Time to freeze time, while Jiu Chong Immortals can use the Yin Yang Dao Fruit to unleash an extreme cold domain that freezes time; both achieve time freezing, but through entirely different methods.

Likewise, the Dao Fruit of Traceback and the Dao Fruit of Time are similar in this regard: they are two different paths. The Dao Fruit of Time causes opponents to regress in cultivation while simultaneously forcing the spiritual energy they used during cultivation to return to its original state.

Whereas Lu Yang can merely cause opponents to regress in cultivation without affecting the world as a whole, which is the concept of "regression."

Therefore, Lu Yang can make spells revert to their original form and make himself revert to his past life's appearance—feats that Time Immortals cannot achieve.

……

Outside the cave dwelling, Yun Mengmeng was humming a little tune while baking small cookies, with Bai Shuang watching eagerly from the side.

"The time is about right."

Yun Mengmeng opened the oven, pulled out the baking tray, and found the small cookies showed no signs of having been baked at all, still in dough form.

"Huh? What's going on? I didn't light the fire just now?"

"It's my realm breakthrough!" He River jumped up and down, having finally broken through a minor realm with great difficulty, only to see his realm regress back to its previous state at this moment.

Yun Mengmeng baked the small cookies to celebrate her breakthrough, but now the cookies weren't baked properly, and He River hadn't broken through.

Not far away, Seeing Seeing Seeing Qing He was compiling the history of the Great Soybean Dynasty; when she wrote the final character, she took a deep breath, lifted the history book, and admired her masterpiece.

"Finally finished writing it."

Seeing Seeing Seeing Qing He had exerted great effort to write this book, to glorify my lord's prestige, and the book recorded the magnificent achievements of the Soybean Heavenly Emperor.

Yet before she could even feel happy for long, she saw the characters on the book rapidly fading—first line by line, then volume by volume—until the entire book became blank and pristine, as good as new.

"My book!" Seeing Seeing Seeing Qing He's emotions, rarely stirred, surged, her tone rising two decibels above normal.

Not only was Tianmen Peak affected, but the entire Wen Dao Sect had fallen into a very strange state.

Li Haoran toiled without rest, and after seventy-seven times forty-nine days of crafting, his peerless magical treasure emerged—he had already become a renowned Master of Artifact Refining at the Unity Stage across the cosmos, and the treasures he forged were so coveted that even Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators had to pull strings to acquire them.

Immediately afterward, something inexplicable occurred: the peerless magical treasure suddenly reverted to its raw materials.

"I'll count three, two, one—let's jump together." River Spirit, the AI Robot, and the Innate Daoist were playing a cooperative obstacle-clearing game, and they had finally reached the final level.

When they controlled their three little figures to jump to the opposite shore and the screen displayed the victory settlement image, the game directly reverted to the initial level, with all completion records vanishing completely.

"No——" River Spirit and the Innate Daoist screamed in despair, utterly hopeless.

The Seventh Elder, who was refining pills, and the Silent Daoist, who rarely handled sect affairs…… all encountered similar problems.

"Is it haunted?"

For a moment, the entire Wen Dao Sect was gripped by panic and unease.

Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi appeared before Lu Yang's cave dwelling, revealing a faint smile.

"Little Zhi, what's going on?"

"Little Junior Brother is about to break through; the seal set on his cave dwelling cannot contain the embryonic form of the Dao Fruit of Traceback, and its power is leaking outward."

Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi raised her hand and arranged a far more profound and mysterious formation, blocking the cave dwelling's gate, thus sparing the Wen Dao Sect from disaster.

"Little Junior Brother still doesn't know when he'll be able to break through; you all should temporarily leave Tianmen Peak." Miss Miss Miss Miss Miss Yun Zhi dared not use her divine sense to probe the situation inside the cave dwelling, fearing it might disturb Lu Yang's cultivation.

As the crowd withdrew from Tianmen Peak, the skies above the Wen Dao Sect suddenly filled with extraordinarily dense dark clouds, heavy and oppressive, making onlookers inexplicably feel uneasy, as if a great mountain weighed upon their chests, leaving them breathless.

"The Immortal Ascension Tribulation? Who is about to ascend to immortality?!" Wu Yao, who was squatting in prison, looked up, his pupils contracting sharply, and instantly recognized this as the legendary tribulation that all cultivators dream of—the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.

"It's the Immortal Ascension Tribulation!" Someone shouted, and the entire Wen Dao Sect instantly realized this was the legendary Immortal Ascension Tribulation.

"Who is about to undergo the tribulation to ascend to immortality!"

"Looking at the direction of the Lightning Tribulation, all clouds are converging toward Tianmen Peak—it must be Senior Brother Lu Yang undergoing the tribulation!" Tao Yaoye exclaimed excitedly, delighted for Lu Yang.

"Is it Lu Yang?"

Everyone was utterly shocked—how long had Lu Yang cultivated? His progression from mortal to half-immortal had already made history, and everyone had thought becoming immortal would be a hurdle capable of slowing his cultivation pace.

Yet Lu Yang simply leapt over this hurdle—he was about to become immortal!

Boom—

The cave dwelling exploded, Lu Yang flew out, facing the Heavenly Tribulation head-on, the aura emanating from him having clearly surpassed the limit of the Tribulation Transcendence stage—it was precisely this power that summoned the Immortal Ascension Tribulation!

"Everyone, stay far from Tianmen Peak!" the Silent Daoist urgently shouted, saying that although the Immortal Ascension Tribulation would not actively strike these onlookers, one cannot guarantee that a bolt of lightning won't veer off and strike down—then it would be disastrous.

Upon hearing this, everyone fled the Wen Dao Sect at top speed, sending messages to friends as they went, some even going live to stream, all thrilled beyond measure, sharing this joy.

The Immortal Ascension Tribulation appeared, and the first to sense it was Ying Tian Xian.

Ying Tian Xian stood above the clouds, gazing down at Lu Yang, feeling somewhat troubled.

"Immortal Maiden, please step back; according to regulation, the Immortal Ascension Tribulation must be undergone by a single person, and your presence here counts as two, so the power must increase."

The Immortal Maiden impatiently waved her hand, warning Ying Tian Xian fiercely: "Go away, go away, go away—I'll just stand here; you should strike down with the force meant for one person, and you are not allowed to strike more!"

"Eh, no, never mind—I'll do my best."
