Chapter 1131: The Future That Cannot Exist

"Foreseeing the future?"

Immortal Su Yue looked disappointed. He had expected Lu Yang to have an unexpected method, but it was just foreseeing the future. What kind of proof was that? He could do it too. Not only could he, but he had also taught it to Immortal Buxiu, though Immortal Buxiu had no talent in this area and could only foresee future weather. "Oh right, Xiao Yangzi, you can foresee the future!"

Immortal Buxiu excitedly patted Lu Yang's shoulder. "This immortal knew you had it in you, Xiao Yangzi!" Yun Zhi also revealed a knowing smile. Yes, her junior brother had this trick up his sleeve.

Immortal Su Yue noticed Immortal Buxiu and Yun Zhi's reactions and felt a sense of absurdity. Was foreseeing the future such an effective method?

"Senior Su Yue, you might not know this, but my foresight is slightly different from yours. My foresight can predict futures that will *not* come to pass."

Immortal Su Yue was full of questions. How was his foresight different from his own?

Lu Yang had learned foresight from Immortal Buxiu. After mastering it, when he cast the spell, he saw himself spending his days eating, drinking, and playing without doing anything productive in the foreseen future. His senior sister patted his back and said she would support him in the future. To verify the results of his practice, he told his senior sister in reality that he planned to spend his days eating, drinking, and playing. This angered her so much that the world changed colors, and he nearly faced a life-or-death crisis. Since then, Lu Yang knew how inaccurate his "foresight" was; it only predicted impossible events!

"Casting it in the mental space might not yield the best results; I need to go outside," Lu Yang said. Only his physical body was an immortal physique; his soul body was not yet. Casting spells definitely yielded better results at higher cultivation realms.

Lu Yang's consciousness left the mental space, and he walked out of the ancestral temple.

"Second Boss, are you going out?" Yun Mengmeng and Jin Caiwei were each carrying a shovel, digging a pit at the temple entrance, though it was unclear what they were doing. Yun Zhi and Immortal Su Yue had directly entered Lu Yang's mental space, so the others were unaware of their arrival.

"Oh, just stepping out for a bit, won't go too far.""Remember to come back for dinner.""Okay."

Lu Yang did not go far, arriving in a vast desert where even experienced camel merchants would avoid passing, as it was easy to get lost. Lu Yang chanted solemn ancient words, joined his middle and index fingers, and loudly declared, "Foresight!" This was a technique he had learned during the Foundation Establishment stage, and now, when he cast it again, it was naturally extraordinary.

Dark river water spread from beneath his feet, and individual droplets transformed into time fragments, appearing before Lu Yang's eyes:

"Immortal, from now on, I am yours!""Huh? Really? Do you want to ascend to the throne now?""Okay, Immortal, I'll listen to everything you say!"

Lu Yang cast aside his self-respect and became Immortal Buxiu's person, ascending the throne in the ancestral temple. Yun Mengmeng, the Minister of Rites, bustled about presiding over the enthronement ceremony. Qing He, the historian, recorded the event, and the three great generals transformed into their original forms, howling to the sky, showcasing divine might.

Lu Yang and Immortal Buxiu both sat on the imperial thrones. The women came to the ancestral temple and uniformly knelt before Lu Yang, hailing him as the Emperor.

Lu Yang accepted the embryonic form of the Immortal Dao Fruit gifted by Immortal Buxiu, becoming the true Second Boss and a half-immortal. He was completely obedient to the Immortal, who was beaming with joy all day long. Yun Zhi and Immortal Su Yue silently turned their heads to look at Lu Yang, their gazes indescribably strange.

Lu Yang cleared his throat, coughing twice into his fist. "Ahem, this is one of the impossible futures. Don't overthink it; let's look at other fragments."

"My lady, I wish to leave for a moment." In the ancestral temple, Qing He, recalling something, bid farewell to Immortal Buxiu and disappeared. Faintly, words like "river" could be heard as Qing He left.

When Lu Yang and the others returned to Wen Dao Sect, they saw Qing He and his senior sister standing before the sect's mountain gate.

Lu Yang didn't quite understand why Senior Qing He would return to Wen Dao Sect after leaving the ancestral temple, or why she was standing with his senior sister. When his senior sister saw Immortal Buxiu, her gaze was unusually flustered, and it was unclear what had happened.

"Alright, there are no clues in this fragment; let's look at others." As she spoke, his senior sister quietly blocked one of the impossible futures, preventing anyone from having extra curiosity and continuing to watch.

In the ancestral temple, Lu Yang was sitting cross-legged on a lotus, comprehending the heavens and earth and their rules, when he suddenly thought of a question: "Hey, Immortal, since Immortal Su Yue can use the power of faith to forge an immortal physique, can't you, as a World Honored One, do the same?"

"Can, can it or can't it?" When asked this question, Immortal Buxiu's eyes darted left and right in a panic, unwilling to meet Lu Yang's gaze directly. "Let's try and see," Lu Yang encouraged, thinking it would be great if he could help the Immortal regain her immortal physique.

Immortal Buxiu stood above the ancestral temple, enveloped by endless power of faith, which helped her condense a perfect immortal physique identical to her original one. "Congratulations, Immortal!" Lu Yang joyfully ascended to congratulate her.

"How did it really succeed?" Immortal Buxiu looked aggrieved, tears welling up in her eyes. "This immortal doesn't want it! This immortal wants to stay in Xiao Yangzi's mental space!"

Everyone simultaneously looked at the blushing Immortal Buxiu.

"Th-this fragment has nothing to see; it's too ridiculously fake!" Immortal Buxiu hastily blocked this future. "It's just like when you, Xiao Yangzi, saw Yun Yatou wanting to support you – they're all very fake futures. Let's look at the next fragment!"

Immortal Su Yue broke out in a cold sweat, feeling as if he had seen many extraordinary things this time. If he wasn't in the next fragment, it would be hard to explain. "It absolutely has to be me next."

"Wait, this isn't right. Aren't we supposed to be verifying the means of the mastermind?!"

"But you can't use *that* method!" Jin Caiwei said through gritted teeth. "You've become a spooky legend!""What spooky legend?" Lord Shi was stunned."The black market is spreading rumors that a female ghost appears in recording orbs, and anyone who sees her will encounter misfortune!""Oh, *that* legend. I didn't create that legend," Lord Shi quickly clarified, distancing himself.

The fragment vanished.

"This is it!" Lu Yang excitedly pointed at the fragment.

"Huh? Why?" Immortal Buxiu was puzzled. "Is it because Qiongqi's answer is different from what we saw?"

Yun Zhi also agreed with her junior brother's point, explaining, "It's because this fragment is the shortest of all the fragments; it's almost absurdly short. The other fragments show a time span of at least several days, while this one only contains a few lines of dialogue. Although junior brother used his immortal physique to cast foresight, he is still only at the 'spell stage,' not yet at the 'Dao Fruit' level. The mastermind must have used a Dao Fruit to modify the timeline. Conversely, among all the impossible future fragments, only the shortest one has been modified by the mastermind. This confirms that one of the mastermind's abilities is indeed modifying the timeline."
