Chapter 1089: The Founder of the Immortal Sect

"My Lord, is it really you? Have you truly been resurrected?" Qinghe covered her mouth with both hands, still unable to believe that her Lord was alive.

She couldn't help but step forward and embrace her, confirming that she wasn't dreaming.

"It's me. I've come back to life," the Immortal Fairy said with a smile, gently patting Qinghe's back and comforting her, just as she had in ancient times after sacrificing herself to save Qinghe in a time of crisis.

"My Lord, I've waited for you for so long. I thought I'd never see you again..." Qinghe's voice was tearful. Realizing she had overstepped, she quickly released the Immortal Fairy in a panic. However, the Immortal Fairy took a step forward, embraced Qinghe again, and whispered in her ear, "Xiao He, it's good to see you're safe."

When she released Qinghe, Qinghe's eyes were already red from crying.

Gray Bean glanced at Zuo Shixian, who was kneeling on the ground, and immediately felt bored.

The battle had lasted only a very short time. Lu Yang and Yun Mengmeng looked up to watch, but before they could even mourn for the unlucky Zuo Shixian, he was already beaten black and blue, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

While watching the battle, Yun Mengmeng and Qinghe also conveniently captured Daoist Mingyuan, who was trying to escape.

Lu Yang felt that he had repaid Patriarch Jintan for helping him forge his identity as a five-star Spirit Chef. Although he hadn't followed Jintan's instructions to demand legendary ingredients, catching Daoist Mingyuan for Jintan was, in a roundabout way, helping Jintan achieve his wish of becoming the leader of the Spirit Chef Alliance.

"Boss, I knew you'd come to save me!" Yun Mengmeng bounced over to the Immortal Fairy. She hadn't been too flustered when facing Zuo Shixian because she trusted that the Boss would arrive.

"Wait, my Lord is the 'Boss' you were talking about?!" Qinghe's face was filled with shock, as if she had heard a ghost story.

She should have realized it when she learned Yun Mengmeng possessed the embryonic form of the Immortal Dao Fruit, but at the time, she was only busy saving people and hadn't thought in that direction.

"Then, the 'Second Boss' you always mentioned is..."

"This one right here, he's the Second Boss of our Immortal lineage!" Yun Mengmeng formally pushed Lu Yang forward.

"Senior Qinghe, h-hello. I often hear the Fairy mention you," Lu Yang said with an awkward smile, feeling that Senior Qinghe's gaze held some dissatisfaction.

Of course, Qinghe wouldn't give Lu Yang a pleasant look. According to Yun Mengmeng's description, Lu Yang, relying on her Lord's favor, pestered her Lord all day long and was full of lies.

Fortunately, her Lord had a pure heart and hadn't been corrupted.

"Deity Transformation stage?" Qinghe raised an eyebrow. How could someone in the Deity Transformation stage become the Second Boss of the Immortal lineage?

Her talent was dull, and in following her Lord's footsteps, she had repeatedly tried to condense the embryonic form of the Immortal Dao Fruit, but all attempts ended in failure. It was only then that she was forced to condense the embryonic form of the Longevity Dao Fruit, losing her qualification to become a member of the Immortal lineage.

What virtue and ability did this young man possess to gain her Lord's favor?

"Don't look down on the Second Boss's current low cultivation level. When he was in the Buddhist Kingdom, he had an immortal body condensed from incense and prayers. He was very strong; even Lord Sichen and some Emperor's avatar were no match for him!" Yun Mengmeng defended Lu Yang, emphasizing that the Second Boss was a remarkable person.

"An immortal body from the Buddhist Kingdom, Lord Sichen? Was it you who acted at Xitian Temple?" Qinghe was shocked. She had thought that battle was Yun Mengmeng's doing.

In the Battle of Xitian Temple, that mysterious immortal possessed the embryonic form of the Immortal Dao Fruit, meaning he could use it?

"Yes, isn't Xiao Yangzi amazing?" The Immortal Fairy shared her joy with Qinghe. Qinghe considered her relationship with the Immortal Fairy as subordinate and superior, while the Immortal Fairy saw them as close friends who could talk about anything.

"Actually, my revival was thanks to Xiao Yangzi. He joined the Immortal Sect, learned the method to revive me, and accidentally called out my name."

Qinghe's expression straightened. So it was Lu Yang who had revived her Lord. Her previous attitude now seemed a bit rude.

However, even if Lu Yang revived her Lord, he shouldn't spend all day deceiving her Lord with smooth talk and lies.

Gray Bean stared intensely at Lu Yang. "It's all because of you! If you hadn't meddled and revived the Immortal, none of this would be happening now!"

As this thought crossed his mind, Gray Bean tightened his grip on Zuo Shixian's head, making Zuo Shixian cry out in pain and think Gray Bean was going to kill him.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me! If that's the case, I also contributed to reviving the Immortal Fairy!"

"You?"

Everyone simultaneously turned to look at Zuo Shixian, a bit surprised.

"I was the one who founded the Immortal Sect!"

Zuo Shixian had been searching for an embryonic form of a Dao Fruit that could allow him to survive against the Immortal of Nirvana. Although he had the Rejuvenation Dao Fruit embryo, which increased vitality, the most suitable Dao Fruit embryo for preserving one's life was undeniably the Immortal Dao Fruit embryo.

However, the Immortal Dao Fruit embryo was not as easily formed as the Rejuvenation Dao Fruit embryo. The Immortal Dao Fruit embryo was incredibly rare; no one had managed to form one in the entire 300,000 years combined across the Xinhuo, Daqian, and Dayu dynasties.

This was why he established the Immortal Sect, hoping to condense the embryonic form of the Immortal Dao Fruit through the power of incense and faith.

Then he encountered Yunzhi in Daxia. After their clash, he fled in a panic, not daring to return to Daxia himself, instead sending a clone.

Subsequently, the Immortal Sect was destroyed, and his clone was also dealt with, leaving him with nothing.

But there was no need to mention these details. The most important thing was to take credit and save his life.

"To revive the Immortal Fairy, I emulated the actions of the Xinhuo Dynasty and founded the Immortal Sect!"

"Who are you trying to fool? If you wanted to revive the Fairy, would you even get her immortal name wrong?" Lu Yang directly exposed Zuo Shixian's lie.

To revive the Fairy, one needed to chant the correct immortal title. The immortal worshipped by the Immortal Sect was called the "Immortal Being"; it would be a miracle if that could revive anyone.

"You clearly established the Immortal Sect to acquire the embryonic form of the Immortal Dao Fruit by utilizing the power of incense and faith!"

Seeing that everyone's attitude towards him was becoming increasingly hostile, and realizing his life was constantly in danger, Zuo Shixian, desperate to prove his worth, blurted out the secret he had kept hidden in his heart.

"I know who the mastermind is!"

This declaration astonished everyone, Gray Bean included.

The root of all these events stemmed from the mastermind killing the Immortal Fairy!

Until now, no one knew the mastermind's true identity or why they had killed the Immortal Fairy.

"My Insight Dao Fruit allows me to perceive the ten directions, clearly seeing everything above and below, from ancient times to the future."

"After I condensed the Insight Dao Fruit, the Heavenly Response Immortals and their group made me observe who had killed the Immortal."

Lu Yang remembered Ao Ling mentioning this, saying that Zuo Shixian had sweated profusely using his Dao Fruit but hadn't gained any insight.

Zuo Shixian said tremblingly, "Actually, I saw the mastermind then. It was precisely the four of them: the Heavenly Response Immortals!"

"Those four wanted to obtain the Immortal Dao Fruit, but the Immortal occupied that position. That's why they formulated a plan to kill the Immortal and leave the Immortal position vacant!"

With the four instigators glaring at him and surrounding him, asking who the murderer was, he'd have to be tired of living to dare speak the truth.
