Chapter 555: The Clue of Time Immortal
The clouds drifted by, and the Great Elder looked at the Seek Tao Sect drawing closer, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Finally, we've safely returned to the Seek Tao Sect."
Although the journey from being captured by the Floating Temple to safely returning to the Seek Tao Sect had its twists and turns, it was a good thing to be back no matter what.
...
"I think, Junior Brother Shi Chan, you might not need travel expenses."
"Huh? Why?" Shi Chan thought Senior Brother Dai seemed like a kind person, but would he really make him walk back?
"Your sect is here." Dai Bufan said expressionlessly, his gaze passing over Shi Chan to a group of monks approaching from afar.
Shi Chan turned his head and saw his master, uncles, and senior brothers, bathed in a dazzling Buddhist light. Uncle Jie'shen was carrying someone.
The people from the Floating Temple had profound cultivation; with a single step, they covered a hundred meters, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the mountain gate of the Seek Tao Sect.
"Uncle Jie'shen, why are you here?" Shi Chan was stunned. He hadn't heard any news about his sect coming to fetch him.
His master, Master Jie Sha, was here, but considering that his master hadn't spoken for a long time, asking him would be pointless. It was better to ask his uncle.
"Doing a good deed for the day, here to release someone." Master Jie'shen pushed the person in his hand, making him obediently return to the Seek Tao Sect.
"Master, are you alright?" Dai Bufan looked at the Great Elder, who had been released by the Floating Temple, with a strange expression.
The Great Elder waved his hand, indicating that Dai Bufan need not worry about him: "It was just an exchange between the higher-ups of the sects, nothing to worry about."
Dai Bufan: "..."
Master Jie'shen beckoned Shi Chan over.
"Thank you, Nephew Dai, for taking care of him this past month." Master Jie'shen nodded in gratitude.
"You're too kind, Uncle." Dai Bufan returned the gesture.@@@@
...
The people from the Floating Temple took Shi Chan back. On the way, Shi Chan kept his head down, feeling very dejected.
It seemed he wouldn't be able to continue working at the slaughterhouse.
The eldest senior sister examined the fragment closely. Lu Yang had never been this close to her before and felt inexplicably flustered. He could even feel her breath.
"A part of the Immortal Tree?" The eldest senior sister raised an eyebrow and released Lu Yang. This thing was extremely precious. Where did Lu Yang get it?
"This is exactly what I wanted to talk about. This is a part of the Holy Tree, given to me by Sister Shangguan!"
"A part of the Holy Tree? Time Immortal?"
The eldest senior sister was slightly surprised. Did Senior Shangguan have clues about the Time Immortal?
Or perhaps Senior Shangguan didn't know it was the Holy Tree, only that it was very precious, and wanted to make a good connection with Lu Yang in advance?
"Let this Immortal explain." The Immortal Fairy appeared, knowing the most.
"When this Immortal and Lu Yang went to the Wood Vein of the Five Elements Sect, we found the Wood Vein to be full of vitality and astonishingly vigorous. This Immortal saw the amulet given to Lu Yang by the Shangguan girl and scanned the entire Wood Vein with divine sense, then discovered this."
The Immortal Fairy used her divine sense to recreate the scene of the Time Immortal's body buried beneath the Wood Vein.
"This is..."
"The body of the Time Immortal."
Yun Zhi's eyes widened slightly, not expecting this news. She had visited the Five Elements Sect but, out of courtesy, had never scanned the Wood Vein with her divine sense.
Who would have thought that there was an immortal corpse buried beneath the Five Elements Sect!
"The Time Immortal has fallen? No, just an immortal corpse isn't enough to make that determination."
"Senior, I need to confirm something with you. I read in ancient texts that the Nian Beast is a subordinate of the Time Immortal. Is this true?"
"Yes, the Nian Beast was cultivated by the Time Immortal using the Time Dao fruit."
"Then it makes sense. Every New Year, the Nian Beast becomes active and then disappears. Once, I tried to find out where the Nian Beast went, but I used too much force and scared it. Since then, the Nian Beast runs away whenever it sees me."
Mortals have a lifespan of no more than a hundred years and cherish time, celebrating New Year once a year. For cultivators with long lifespans, a year is but a fleeting moment.
In the world of cultivation, the custom is to celebrate New Year once every ten years, and the Nian Beast also appears once every ten years. The Immortal Fairy, having been revived, hadn't yet caught up with the cultivation world's New Year.
"What I can confirm is that every New Year, the Nian Beast comes from the east and returns to the west. I suspect that clues about the Time Immortal are in the Eastern Sea or the Buddhist Kingdom, which is why I asked Second Senior Brother to visit the west more often."
The second update will be at eleven o'clock.
