Chapter 549: Clues of the Immortal of Time

Clouds drifted by. The Great Elder looked at the Ask Dao Sect, which was getting closer and closer, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally returned safely to the Ask Dao Sect."

Although the process from being caught by the Hanging Temple to returning safely to the Ask Dao Sect was a bit tortuous, in any case, being able to go back was a good thing.

"I think you might not need travel expenses, Junior Brother Shi Chan."

"Ah? Why?" Shi Chan thought to himself, *Senior Brother Dai looks like a kind person; does he have the heart to let me walk back? *

"Your sect has come." Dai Bufan was expressionless, his gaze passing over Shi Chan to see a group of monks walking from afar.

Shi Chan turned his head to look. It was indeed his own master, uncle-master, and senior brother, the Buddha light shining brightly, incomparably dazzling. The supervisor uncle-master, Jie Chen, was holding someone in his hand.

The people of the Hanging Temple had profound cultivation, each step a hundred meters, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the mountain gate of the Ask Dao Sect.

"Uncle-Master Jie Chen, why are you here?" Shi Chan was stunned; he hadn't heard any news that his sect was coming to pick him up.

His own master, Jiesha, was here, but considering that his master hadn't been able to speak for a long time, asking him would be useless, so it was better to ask his uncle-master.

"Doing one good deed a day, here to release life." Master Jie Chen pushed the person in his hand, making him return obediently to the Ask Dao Sect.

"Master, are you alright?" Dai Bufan looked at the Great Elder who had been released by the Hanging Temple with a strange expression.

The Great Elder waved his hand, signaling Dai Bufan not to worry about him. "It's just an exchange between the high-level members of the sect. What could happen?"

Dai Bufan: "..."

Master Jie Chen waved his hand, asking Shi Chan to come over.

"Thank you, Nephew-Master Dai, for your care this month." Master Jie Chen nodded in thanks.

"Uncle-Master, you are too polite." Dai Bufan returned the salute.

The people of the Hanging Temple took Shi Chan back. On the way, Shi Chan kept his head down, very disappointed.

It looked like he couldn't continue working at the slaughterhouse.

"Shi Chan, what was the harvest in the Ask Dao Sect?" Master Jie Chen asked kindly. Jie Chen meant Jie Nu (no anger); he had always had a smiling face.

"The harvest was quite rich. There are experts everywhere in the Ask Dao Sect, and I met many people who share the same philosophy as me!"

"But the most important thing is that I confirmed that what Master said is correct. The eldest disciple of the Unspoken Daoist is indeed not easy to deal with."

"This is natural. How could your master lie to you? The eldest disciple of the Unspoken Daoist is indeed not easy to deal with... wait, what did you say?" Master Jie Chen suddenly realized something was wrong. *How did you know Miss Yun Zhi is not easy to deal with? *

"Didn't Master say that the eldest disciple of the Unspoken Daoist is very powerful and cannot be provoked? I felt that what is learned from books is shallow, and one must practice it to know it, so I went to Tianmen Peak and proposed to challenge Senior Miss Yun Zhi. And don't say, I really couldn't beat her." Shi Chan recalled the scene at that time, and his body felt faintly painful, a lingering fear. *Senior Miss Yun Zhi is really strong. *

Master Jiesha heard his good disciple do this, and his flying body swayed, almost falling down.

He wanted to curse, but considering that he was still practicing the Silent Zen, he could only think about it in his heart.

"We're back." The five of Lu Yang returned to the Ask Dao Sect. Their own people were enthusiastic. Look, Senior Brother Dai and the Great Elder personally welcomed them at the mountain gate.

"Great Elder, you've worked hard. Senior Brother Dai, you've worked hard. I have something to do with the Eldest Senior Sister, so I'll go first."

Lu Yang dropped a sentence and disappeared quickly from everyone's sight, leaving everyone at a loss.

"What is this kid in such a hurry for?"

"Don't know."

Lu Yang was naturally in a hurry. Regardless of how much he had learned from this trip to the Five Elements Sect, just how to deal with the ancient matters he knew required the Eldest Senior Sister to make a final decision.

Lu Yang returned to Tianmen Peak. The Eldest Senior Sister had one foot on the ground, the other pressed against the root of the opposite thigh, sitting in a half-lotus position, her hands in a flower-pinching gesture, holding two Golden Cores, her breath long, as if she were integrated with nature, her presence very low.

Before Lu Yang could speak, the Eldest Senior Sister slowly opened her eyes and asked, "Junior Brother, what is the matter that you are looking for me in such a hurry?"

As she spoke, she finished her practice and stood up, flicking the Golden Cores pinched at her fingertips toward the sky, and the two Golden Cores turned into meteors, hanging in the high sky.

Lu Yang was dumbfounded.

Seeing Lu Yang's surprise, the Eldest Senior Sister explained casually, "A month ago, someone came to challenge me, hoping that I would suppress my realm to the late Jin Dan stage. I agreed to his conditions, plucked two Golden Cores from the sky, temporarily suppressed my realm, and then I thought that since it was a rare opportunity, I might as well refine them. It was only now that I finished refining and let the two Golden Cores return to their original positions."

Lu Yang's eyes twitched slightly, thinking to himself, *You might as well not have explained. *

"Where did you get this wooden token?" The Eldest Senior Sister hooked her index finger, and the Jianmu fragment hanging on Lu Yang's neck flew up, bringing Lu Yang with it to the Eldest Senior Sister.

The Eldest Senior Sister pinched the Jianmu fragment and examined it carefully. Lu Yang had never been so close to the Eldest Senior Sister, and he felt inexplicably flustered; he could even feel the Eldest Senior Sister's breathing.

"A part of the Immortal Wood?" The Eldest Senior Sister raised her eyebrows, let go of Lu Yang, and let him go. This thing was extremely precious. Where did Lu Yang get it?

"This is exactly what I want to say. This is a part of Jianmu, given to me by Senior Sister Shangguan!"

"A part of Jianmu? The Immortal of Time?"

The Eldest Senior Sister was slightly surprised. So Senior Shangguan had clues about the Immortal of Time?

Or was it that Senior Shangguan didn't know this was Jianmu, only knew that this thing was very precious, and made friends with Lu Yang in advance to form a good relationship?

"Let me tell it." The Immortal Fairy popped up; she knew the most.

"When I went to the Wood Vein of the Five Elements Sect with Lu Yang, I found that the Wood Vein was full of vitality, and the vitality was surprisingly strong. I saw the amulet that the Shangguan girl gave Lu Yang, so I scanned the entire Wood Vein with my immortal sense, and then discovered this."

The Immortal Fairy moved her immortal sense, restoring the corpse of the Immortal of Time buried under the Wood Vein.

"This is..."

"The corpse of the Immortal of Time."

Miss Yun Zhi's eyes widened slightly. She hadn't expected this news. She had visited the Five Elements Sect, but out of politeness, she hadn't used her divine sense to scan what was under the Wood Vein.

She never expected that there was an immortal corpse buried under the Five Elements Sect!

"The Immortal of Time has fallen? No, it's impossible to make a judgment based on just one immortal corpse."

"Senior, I want to confirm one thing with you. I saw in ancient books that the Year Beast is a dependent of the Immortal of Time. Is this true?"

"Yes, the Year Beast is a demonic beast cultivated by the Immortal of Time using the Dao Fruit of Time."

"Then that's right. Every time the New Year comes, the Year Beast is active, and then the Year Beast disappears. I once made a move, wanting to know where the Year Beast went, but that move was too powerful and startled the Year Beast. Since then, the Year Beast runs away when it sees me."

Mortals have a lifespan of no more than a hundred years, cherishing time, and celebrating the New Year once a year. For cultivators with long lifespans, a year is just a snap of the fingers.

The habit of the cultivation world is to celebrate the New Year once every ten years, and the Year Beast also appears once every ten years. After the Immortal Fairy was resurrected, she hadn't caught up with the New Year of the cultivation world.

"What I can confirm is that every New Year, the Year Beast comes from the East and returns to the West, so I suspect that the clues of the Immortal of Time are in the East Sea or the Buddhist Kingdom, which is why I let the Second Junior Brother go to the West more often."

The second update is at 11 o'clock.
