Chapter 351

The Decayed Fairy sighed, feeling that this was the sorrow of the era: "Why is everyone in your era spreading rumors? Even daring to spread rumors about immortals."

As a member of this era, Lu Yang listened to the Fairy's teachings and expressed that he would conduct a deep reflection.

"The Ying Tian Immortal is such a good person. Although he was challenged by me across levels every time before he became an immortal, and was already unlucky enough, he was still a genius rare in eternity, with boundless glory. Who would have thought that after he became an immortal and achieved success, he would be harmed by rumors in later generations."

Lu Yang took the opportunity to ask: "Does the Ying Tian Immortal have a wife and children?"

"Shouldn't have, but his affinity with women is quite good."

"How so?"

"According to the eyes of ordinary people, the Ying Tian Immortal is particularly handsome. I don't feel that way, of course, it's also possible that I beat him black and blue every time."

"Before he became an immortal, there were often powerful female cultivators who admired him and snatched him away, forcing him to have relations. It wasn't once or twice; just the ones I encountered were more than five times, and I heard from others that the number was even higher."

"... So envious, ah no, I mean so unlucky."

Lu Yang continued to read 《Ancient Secrets》 and found that the book mentioned the four ancient immortals, but only the Ying Tian Immortal had a clear title, while the other three immortals were all referred to by aliases, such as Demon Immortal, a certain immortal, and so on.

"It should be that among the four ancient immortals, the Ying Tian Immortal is the most famous, or it could be that books you can buy for three thousand spirit stones won't tell you everything."

Considering that the Ying Tian Immortal created the heavenly tribulation, Lu Yang had reason to suspect that the name of the Ying Tian Immortal was widely spread among high-level cultivators, or rather, widely despised.

"Look at this, it also mentions the battle between the ancient Dragon and Phoenix ancestors, and the Phoenix ancestor performing rebirth from fire!" Meng Jingzhou pointed to one of the pages and said, looking a bit excited to see a familiar story.

He heard it from the pure-blooded Phoenix clan in Luofeng County. The other party's version was more detailed than the book, but the general process was about the same.

Lu Yang rubbed his temples in pain, feeling that archaeologists were really too difficult. The things they spent so much effort to verify were completely different from the actual situation.

"This is a secret about the Chaos Clan, one of the four ancient fierce clans. The Chaos Clan is born without a face and of unknown gender. After reaching adulthood, they can adjust their gender and appearance at any time according to their own wishes. In ancient times, the Chaos Clan set a rule: in the cultivation world, the strong are respected, the strong submit to the weak, the strong are male, and the weak are female."

"Is that so?" Lu Yang asked the Decayed Fairy for verification.

The Decayed Fairy gave affirmation: "That's actually true."

"The Chaos Clan is just as you have heard; their bodies are chaotic at birth, and nothing is clear. It is a rare species where the acquired determines the innate, and some even say this is proof of cause and effect."

"The Chaos Clan had such regulations, where the strong determined the gender of the weak."

"The regulation itself was fine, but it just so happened that the Chaos Clan had an incredible genius at the time. He couldn't compare to the heaven-gifted talents of the Dragon and Phoenix clans, but he was also one of the top three figures in the history of the Chaos Clan in terms of combat power."

"This person liked to have a harem and liked to pursue excitement, so he defeated all the Chaos and turned them all into females."

"The appearance of the Chaos Clan can also be freely decided, so they are all beauties."

"The result was that in the huge Chaos Clan, he was the only male, and the rest were all females. It almost went extinct."

"It was the Qilin Immortal who came forward to mediate, persuading him to restrain his desires, and by the way, let the Chaos Clan change the regulations."

"Later, the Chaos Clan changed the regulation to self-determined gender. I don't know if the regulation has been changed now."

Lu Yang: "..."

Lu Yang: "..."

Don't tell Meng Jingzhou about this kind of thing, lest he be envious after hearing it.

"There is also a legend recorded here: in ancient times, a woodcutter went up the mountain to cut wood, accidentally broke into a cave dwelling, and met two immortals playing chess. The immortals' chess skills were superb, containing the Dao of Heaven and Earth. After one game of chess, the woodcutter discovered that the environment outside the cave had changed greatly, and a hundred years had passed."

"Presumably, the story of the first Sect Master of the Decayed Sect was adapted from this ancient rumor."

Lu Yang said firmly: "If my guess is correct, among these two ancient immortals, one must be the Time Immortal. Only he could make the woodcutter pass a hundred years while watching chess!"

The Decayed Fairy smiled: "Guessed wrong. The ones playing chess were the Ying Tian Immortal and the Qilin Immortal, these two lousy chess players."

"At that time, I invited the four of them to my house for dinner. The four of them agreed, but the Ying Tian Immortal and the Qilin Immortal said they were playing chess and would come over after the winner was decided. I said okay."

"I waited and waited, but didn't see them come over for a long time. I asked the Immortal Immortal Jiu Chong Immortal to cut wood, and the Immortal Immortal Jiu Chong Immortal volunteered to go see the situation, but he didn't come back after he went."

"During this period, the Time Immortal also went over. The Time Immortal came back and told me that they were comprehending the Dao while playing chess and couldn't be disturbed. I said then the two of us would eat. The Time Immortal said that they were all immortals, sharing blessings and hardships together. If we were to eat, we should all eat together; if not, none of us should eat. How could two people eat while three people starved!"

"I felt what he said made a lot of sense, so I waited again. This wait lasted a hundred years."

"A hundred years passed, the food was cold, how could we eat? So we didn't eat."

The Decayed Fairy felt a bit regretful, thinking that the Ying Tian Immortal and the Qilin Immortal were really low-level, playing chess for a hundred years without a result.

Lu Yang: "..."

Truly worthy of being immortals with infinite lifespan; a hundred years passed just like that.

These three old brothers, the Ying Tian Immortal, were even more ruthless; to avoid eating, they would rather play chess for a hundred years.

Although this 《Ancient Secrets》 was slightly different from the real ancient times, it was still the result of scholars' verification, and the story prototype still existed, not fabricated out of thin air.

As for why it was rumored that the Ying Tian Immortal liked beautiful women, Lu Yang didn't know; perhaps the verification method was wrong, or the source of information was wrong.

Lu Yang and his companion passed by a roadside stall, and Lu Yang took an extra look. On the stall were a small golden pagoda, a jade vase, pills that were sealed but whose medicinal power was still slowly leaking, a broken flying sword...

"Lu Yang, wait a minute. Did you see that flying sword? Good stuff, this is a flying sword used by the Qilin Immortal!" the Decayed Fairy called out to Lu Yang excitedly.

The flying sword was broken and looked very different from its original appearance. If the Decayed Fairy hadn't seen it a few times, she wouldn't have been sure it was the Qilin Immortal's sword.

"What?" Lu Yang's heart moved. He didn't expect to encounter a flying sword used by the Qilin Immortal in such a place. This was an immortal sword!

The golden finger, the Decayed Fairy, finally worked.

"Wait, it wouldn't be the sword used by the Qilin Immortal when he was at the Foundation Establishment stage, would it?" Lu Yang looked at the Decayed Fairy vigilantly.

The Decayed Fairy was displeased, feeling that Lu Yang didn't trust her enough: "How can you say that? Of course not. This is an immortal sword held by the Qilin Immortal after he became an immortal. The Qilin Immortal specially asked the Ying Tian Immortal to temper it with the power of thunder!"

Lu Yang was overjoyed. Refined by the Ying Tian Immortal and used by the Qilin Immortal, the price of this flying sword was skyrocketing.

He had picked up a huge bargain!

The second update is at 10:30.
