Chapter 1254: Unsealing the Seal

**Chapter 1272: Unsealing the Seal**

A pair of eyes stared intently at Lu Yang, yet no one perceived his presence. He seemed not to exist in this world, untouched by any cause and effect.

To have found clues about me again, this kid is truly troublesome. Should I kill him to prevent future problems?

Although many immortals are gathered in Imperial City right now, it wouldn't be impossible to act.

Or perhaps modify the timeline, alter reality?

The person stared at Lu Yang, deliberating for a long time, and finally abandoned both decisions.

No, that won't do. The Box World is about to open; acting now would ruin everything.

I finally made them believe I was Yao Sheng, and they already think I'm dead. Even if Lu Yang finds something suspicious, he shouldn't suspect me.

Yes, in their eyes, this matter is settled, and everything has returned to peace. There's no need to be paranoid or expose myself over such a minor issue.

Besides, while Lu Yang is troublesome, his experiences are quite interesting. I really don't want to act.

The only remaining concern is the whereabouts of that reincarnated person.

Well, if I can't find them, others probably can't either. It's not a big deal.

The person's gaze returned to Lu Yang, their expression somewhat odd.

Speaking of which, this kid Lu Yang is really good at guessing; his conjecture about the origin of the spell was basically accurate.

Lu Yang pondered for a long time, then looked up and smiled with relief. "I can't figure it out, so I won't think about it anymore. Let's not waste time here. We're going to the Imperial Palace."

"To the Imperial Palace?" Immortal Years wondered.

"Yes, I'd like to ask the four seniors to gather at the Imperial Palace. Would that be alright?"

"Are we finally unsealing it?" Immortal Years rubbed his hands together, having long awaited this day.

Immortal Immortality also smiled at everyone. "None of you have ever seen the true starry sky, have you? Today, I'll open your eyes!"

Meng Jingzhou and Yun Mengmeng were both very excited, especially Yun Mengmeng. She felt that leaving the secret realm to join Xiao Zhi was the best decision she had ever made in her life, as she always encountered new things.

Everyone arrived at the Grand Brightness Hall in the Imperial Palace. Inside the hall were only Emperor Xia, Immortal Ninefold, Jiang Ping'an, and Meng Junzi.

"Ancestor." Meng Jingzhou behaved dutifully in front of Meng Junzi.

"Good boy! You've reached the middle stage of Tribulation Transcendence. You haven't shamed your old ancestor!" Meng Junzi laughed heartily. Meng Jingzhou always managed to surprise him.

It had only been a few years, and he was already in the middle stage of Tribulation Transcendence.

"My junior has broken through. Old Jiang, as an elder, why don't you offer something?" Meng Junzi bragged, wrapping an arm around Meng Jingzhou in front of Jiang Ping'an.

"How about lending him the Grand Sword to play with for a couple of days?"

Jiang Ping'an glared, exasperated. "I'll give *you* a sword!"

"Don't be so stingy. If not the Grand Sword, the Imperial Seal would work too."

Losing his patience, Jiang Ping'an picked up the Imperial Seal and threw it at Meng Junzi, who naturally dodged it.

"So this is the imperial throne," Yun Mengmeng said, tapping on the throne at the top of the hall.

"It doesn't even feel comfortable to sit on. It's not as comfortable as Xiao Zhi's chair."

She looked at Emperor Xia with a hint of pity. "Being an emperor must be quite a suffering."

"So you went to find Immortal Years," Immortal Ninefold said with a smile. "We've already sent people to notify Immortal Qilin and Immortal Ying Tian. They should be here soon."

"Haha, I heard someone talking about me right from the doorway!" Immortal Ying Tian laughed heartily as he walked into the Grand Brightness Hall, looking around. "I was worried I'd be the last one, but it seems Immortal Qilin is."

As he spoke, Immortal Qilin arrived with Ao Ling and others, just a step behind Immortal Ying Tian.

Ao Ling and the others cheerfully greeted Immortal Immortality and Lu Yang.

"Senior Brother Lu Yang is here, so that means you've successfully condensed the embryonic form of a Dao Fruit? Congratulations!"

"Of course! Just look at who trained Little Yangzi!"

Immortal Immortality said proudly, "Little Yangzi only condensed the embryonic Dao Fruit after perfectly understanding the Invincible Pill. He's much stronger than both of you."

Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi exchanged embarrassed smiles. "That's why Lu Yang is our senior brother. As his junior sisters, we certainly can't compare."

"Both seniors are too kind—"

Ao Ling feigned anger. "You're a Half-Immortal yourself; why are you still calling us seniors?"

Lu Yang braced himself and corrected his address. "Both Senior Sisters—I mean, Junior Sisters, are too kind."

Hearing Lu Yang call them junior sisters, Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi's feigned anger turned to delight.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Since everyone is here, shall we begin, seniors?" Lu Yang awkwardly changed the subject.

"Shall we start then?" Immortal Ying Tian said.

"Let's go."

"Look, there's activity near the Imperial Palace!"

Outside the Imperial Palace, alert cultivators were the first to notice something unusual.

Above the Imperial Palace, four majestic figures stood. Each figure had a distinct posture: one was bathed in lightning, like a chosen one; another was in a half-crouch, punching the ground with a single fist; a third stood with arms crossed, gaze resolute; and a fourth sat cross-legged in the void, chanting.

Four figures, four forms, four auras. Each was an independent existence, yet together they exuded an aura of unyielding strength, as if they could prop up the heavens and stand firm against anything.

"It's the Four Ancient Immortals!"

The people of Imperial City excitedly pointed at the four figures, astonished that the Four Ancient Immortals had appeared simultaneously in the city.

Many people would never see an immortal in their entire lives, yet they had seen four at once. What incredible fortune!

"What are they going to do?" The Fusion Stage cultivators thought of more implications, their hearts pounding.

"Are they going to break the seal?"

"Definitely!"

The Fusion Stage cultivators saw joy in each other's eyes. They wondered what the outside world was like.

Immortal Ying Tian slowly looked up, his gaze profound, piercing through endless space to the spiritless land above. His voice was ancient, with a pause in the middle.

"Is...the time ready?"

The half-crouching Immortal Qilin rose, speaking of past events unknown to the world. "To think that battle of yesteryear,

The Severance of Heaven and Earth, created this seal that has lasted for three hundred thousand years."

Immortal Ninefold's gaze was resolute as he, too, looked at the seal. "With the powerful enemy fallen, and the order that disturbed the ages set right, this seal should also disappear."

Immortal Years ceased chanting scriptures. He seemed like the elder brother among the four, his voice not loud, yet full of imposing presence, giving a sense of unquestionable authority.

"This seal has confined the world for too long. It's time to break it, to open up the heavens and earth, and let the people know what the firmament is, what the universe is!"

With that, the Four Ancient Immortals, in perfect synchronicity, looked up and transformed into four streams of colored light, soaring towards the spiritless land.

Before the four streams of light, before the Four Immortals who dominated ancient times, even the brilliant sun paled in comparison.

All living beings in the East Sea, Demon Realm, Buddhist Kingdom, and the Extreme North noticed these four existences.

The world fell silent. The Four Ancient Immortals became the focus of all eyes, as if only they remained between heaven and earth.

Lu Yang eagerly watched Immortal Ninefold use his methods to dim the sun's brightness slightly.

Should this kind of thing be reported honestly?
