Chapter 1369: Grand Finale

Old timeline.

"How strange, the mastermind behind the scenes suddenly stopped moving?" Lu Yang frowned, looking puzzled at the mastermind behind the scenes, or rather, the corpse of the mastermind behind the scenes.

The change came too abruptly and too suddenly; the battlefield atmosphere was strange, no one dared to act rashly, worried this was a scheme by the mastermind behind the scenes.

In the battle, Yun Zhi gained the upper hand, beating the mastermind behind the scenes into constant retreat, its self-healing ability could not keep up with the speed of injury, its breath dropping again and again.

Anyone could see it; without accident, Yun Zhi would soon achieve victory.

At this moment, the mastermind behind the scenes looked toward Lu Yang and the Immortal of Eternal Life, revealing a strange smile, and then immediately lost its breath.

"How did it suddenly die?"

Everyone was shocked; this change exceeded their expectations.

"Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes felt it couldn't defeat Daoist Yun Zhi, so it committed suicide to end with dignity?" Immortal Jiu Chong stroked his chin, thinking seriously, using his immortal sense to observe the corpse of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Saying this, everyone turned their gaze toward the Immortal of Eternal Life, recalling her feigned death technique.

"Go away, go away, why are you all looking at me?" The Immortal of Eternal Life felt everyone's gaze was problematic.

"It shouldn't be the feigned death technique." Lu Yang stepped forward to uphold justice for the Immortal of Eternal Life, "Suicide probably isn't it either; this isn't the mastermind behind the scenes' usual way of doing things."

"The mastermind behind the scenes acts cautiously; this matter absolutely has a major problem." Lu Yang frowned in thought, feeling he had overlooked something.

Boom—

Lu Yang looked up, seeing the eldest senior sister had not lowered her hand despite the mastermind behind the scenes losing breath, still attacking the corpse of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Whether it was truly dead or feigning death, destroying the corpse would certainly not be wrong.

"By the way, did the mastermind behind the scenes never use the timeline Dao fruit?" Lu Yang carefully recalled this battle, discovering the mastermind behind the scenes had never altered the timeline from beginning to end.

Could it be that his sudden death is related to altering the timeline?

Thinking of this, Lu Yang activated the Trace Source Dao fruit, performed the foresight of the future, his hands forming seals, black river water spreading from beneath his feet.

This was the second time the Immortal of Ages saw Lu Yang display this technique; logically, foresight of the future was what he taught the Immortal of Eternal Life, who then taught it to Lu Yang, but in Lu Yang's hands, for some unknown reason, the manifestation was completely different.

Moreover, he always felt this technique was very familiar, like one he should know, but he was certain he did not.

Foresight of the future is originally a technique extended from the Timeline Dao fruit by the Building Wood, specifically for observing the timeline; as Lu Yang became an immortal, he could finally display this technique in its most complete form.

Everyone gathered around, heads touching heads, watching the situation of another timeline.

"Hey hey hey, all immortals, can't you use immortal sense to look from afar?"

"Immortal sense isn't as good as eyes; go, crowd over there, make space for me."

In the black river water, a completely different timeline was reflected.

Everyone saw Lu Yang possessing two Dao fruits, saw Yun Zhi unite with the Dao, Lu Yang advancing to omniscience, rescuing Yun Zhi, and also saw Lu Yang revealing the true name of the mastermind behind the scenes, narrating the origin of the mastermind behind the scenes.

The further they looked, the stranger everyone's expressions became.

"Is the mastermind behind the scenes feeling it can't beat us, so it ran to another timeline to go fight Daoist Lu who has advanced to omniscience?" The Qilin immortal's qilin whiskers twitched.

Is it resenting that he died too slowly?

Everyone's gaze toward Lu Yang was completely different now; they had not imagined Lu Yang's talent would be this terrifying, reaching the omniscience realm in another timeline.

"Haha, this immortal just said Xiao Yangzi is the strongest." The Immortal of Eternal Life hehehed, happier than Lu Yang, brows flying and dancing, her eye for people never missed.

"But Immortal, what you said seems to be about another timeline." Lu Yang corrected.

"Eh, you don't need to care which timeline, just say whether what this immortal said is right or not."

Lu Yang sincerely nodded; when has the Immortal ever been wrong? Whatever the Immortal said is correct.

The Lu Yang of the new timeline, sensing something, crossed timelines and made eye contact with everyone.

After advancing to omniscience, he knew everything that happened in both timelines clearly.

Everyone was startled; only the Lu Yang of the old timeline remained calm and composed, knowing himself best, himself most enjoying seeing others look surprised.

"Thank you for helping us resolve the trouble."

"Where, where, it's I who should thank you; if not for you pushing Fu Xu to the brink of death, we wouldn't have produced this timeline."

"That's also true."

"... Can't you be a bit more polite?"

"What's there to be polite about with myself?"

The two Lu Yangs crossed timelines, chatting happily.

"Eldest senior sister has something to find me for, let's talk later." The Lu Yang of the new timeline waved at everyone, temporarily bidding farewell, the future days are still long, chatting need not be rushed.

"No matter how you say it, the matter is settled." Lu Yang smiled, greeting everyone to return home.

……

"How was the battle?"

On Tianmen Peak, Ao Ling Jiang Lianli and others were anxious and uneasy, after all, the mastermind behind the scenes was the strongest enemy they had ever encountered.

"We're back." The Immortal of Eternal Life returned triumphantly, her smiling face always able to bring people a sense of ease.

"Big Chief, Second Chief, Little Zhi!" Yun Mengmeng pounced forward, embracing the three great contributors of this battle in one hug.

"You made us worry." Yun Zhi's tone, compared to usual, had a hint of softness; this battle had not been pre-discussed, Yun Mengmeng must have been very worried about them.

"No, you're so amazing, I believe you will definitely succeed!" Yun Mengmeng said with a giggle, she had always trusted Xiao Zhi and others without reason.

"My lord, was that person's corpse not brought back?" Qing He stood to the side, respectfully asking.

"No, the corpse was destroyed by Yun girl until not even scraps remained."

Qing He regretfully shook her head; the mastermind behind the scenes, as the assassin of my lord, deserves ten thousand deaths, she still wanted to whip the corpse to vent hatred, but unfortunately had no chance.

"Immortal sister, quickly tell us, what was the battle process like?"

Originally, the victory banquet had just started when the battle broke out; now the battle ended, everyone continued the second half of the victory banquet.

"That's certainly something to talk about." The Immortal of Eternal Life proudly said, if not for her intervention, Yun Zhi would have already united with the Dao.

"... This immortal had long foreseen that Xiao Yangzi's strength alone was insufficient; at the critical moment, this immortal decisively acted, joining forces with Xiao Yangzi to restrain Yun girl."

When he got excited, the immortal fairy didn't even care about eating buns anymore, stood up and gestured the scene at that time, feeling that he was especially handsome.

Yun Mengmeng, Qing He, and Ao Ling, the three girls, had their eyes shining, also feeling that the immortal fairy was especially handsome.

Latest novel first release!

Lu Yang silently chewed on the bun, having a bad feeling.

Yun Zhi suddenly sat between Lu Yang and the immortal fairy, expressionless, pressing down on their shoulders.

"Senior sister, what's up?" Lu Yang said softly, inexplicably feeling guilty.

"Come to thank you guys, during the battle you guys said a lot of things to stop me from merging with the Dao."

"Junior brother, you said I look especially good when I smile, is it like this?" Yun Zhi revealed a cold smile, icy and chilling, scaring Lu Yang so much his legs trembled, the hand holding the bun unsteady.

"Since the fairy senior has restored her immortal body, junior brother you have also become an immortal, we might as well spar a bit."

"Yun, Yun girl, what are you doing, this immortal warns you, if this immortal becomes omniscient, you'll have something coming to you!"

"Senior sister, it's a misunderstanding, back then it was all the fairy ordering me to do it, not my own intention!"

The Three Ancient Immortals and the Two Immortals of Great Xia were drinking immortal wine not far away, not listening or looking, pretending not to know about the tragedy happening on Lu Yang's side.

"Good wine!" Meng Junzi took a sip, his eyes shining, the wine fragrance filled with immortal aura.

"This fine brew from four hundred thousand years ago, the only jar in the vast world." The Qilin Immortal laughed loudly, today worthy of opening and drinking freely.

"Too bad Ying Tian isn't here." Jiu Chong Immortal sighed, the Four Ancient Immortals share blessings together, missing one makes the gathering ultimately lacking.

"Ying Tian's reincarnation is only at the Unity stage, hearing Daoist Lu speak, only Tribulation Transcendence stage can awaken first life memories, calling him over now is useless."

"Then there's nothing to be done, this good wine can only be drunk by us brothers." The immortals laughed brightly, they had considered Ying Tian Immortal, if they can't enjoy it then it's not their fault.

……

Under the tree shade, Lu Yang and the immortal fairy lay side by side, wrapped in decorative bandages, these are the medals from fighting Yun Zhi, Lu Yang even wrapped a bandage around one eye.

"If it weren't for us two maintaining most of our Dao fruit power on Yun girl's realm, how could Yun girl have won?" The immortal fairy said resentfully.

On the side, Yun Mengmeng, Qing He, Xia He, Bai Shuang asked about warmth and cold, fed rice and vegetables, all were great tonics, taking care of Zhou Dao.

Meng Jingzhou, who had climbed up Heaven's Gate Peak, saw this scene, almost twisted his nose in anger.

"Old Meng? How did you come here?" Lu Yang sat up and asked.

Meng Jingzhou looked at his good brother, softly asked: "At the celebration feast, did you not call me?"

"Ahahaha, I didn't forget, I meant you weren't in the imperial city doing fortune-telling, too far so I didn't call you."

"I was actually in our sect at that time."

Lu Yang: "..."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

For a moment the atmosphere was very awkward, fortunately Meng Jingzhou didn't come to settle scores, he brought up another topic.

"Old Lu, haven't you been paying attention to the news lately?"

"No."

Meng Jingzhou thought to himself, I knew it, enjoying life here is better than surfing the internet.

"After you became an immortal, all civilizations are very concerned about you, posts and videos related to you have never low热度."

"Is that so." Lu Yang grinned, then he should search the internet about himself.

"But there are also bad rumors spreading out."

"Bad rumors?"

"There are rumors saying you have a great influence on the Cultivation Realm, some bad trends in the Cultivation Realm are led astray by you."

"Nonsense, what does this have to do with me!" Lu Yang blew his beard and glared, this is pure rumor, he lived openly and righteously, diligently cultivated, did how many good deeds, a model of the righteous path, the Way Sect all take him as an example.

Meng Jingzhou nodded sincerely, indignation filling his chest: "Yes, I also think this way, so I just represent the newspaper to interview you. So you think the Cultivation Realm's trends have nothing to do with you, right?"

"Of course, I repeatedly emphasized, the Cultivation Realm's trends were originally crooked, not led astray by you, everyone says history is written by the victors, then why after I won do people still keep framing me?" Lu Yang, the sword immortal, said this when interviewed by reporter Meng Jingzhou, showing he was very angry.

The next day.

"I repeatedly emphasized, the Cultivation Realm's trends……are led astray by me……history is written by the victors……I won!" Lu Yang, the sword immortal, said this when interviewed by reporter Meng Jingzhou, showing he was very angry. —《Xianxian Daily》 reporting for you.
