Chapter 721: Question and Answer

Wanfa Daojun wished he could become an immortal right now, condense the Everlasting Dao Fruit, reverse time to return to yesterday, and adamantly refuse to enter the Wen Dao Sect.

What kind of cursed place was the Wen Dao Sect? He had lived for two hundred thousand years, and this was the first time he had ever heard of an immortal being killed!

The ability to kill Wu Yao indicated that Yunzhi must be an immortal.

And there was also the female immortal with an unknown name, yet possessing the Immortal Dao Fruit.

All together, the Wen Dao Sect had two immortals.

With such power, why were they still considered one of the Five Great Immortal Sects? Wouldn't it be better to directly replace the Great Xia Dynasty?

"Replacing Great Xia? That actually sounds feasible," Immortal Imperishable said, thoughtfully stroking her chin.

Wasn't it said that each dynasty could only last for a hundred thousand years? Now was precisely a period of transition. She could align with the tide of the times, join forces with Yun-ya-tou to unify the Central Continent, and become empress herself.

"Lu Yang, what do you think about this immortal establishing a Soybean Dynasty?"

"Then I'd be the Soybean Emperor." Immortal Imperishable counted on her fingers. "Emperors would take turns. Yun-ya-tou would be the second Soybean Emperor, you'd be the third, and for the fourth, you can choose whoever you like."

Lu Yang was speechless.

"Immortal, your naming ability is truly, as always, difficult to describe."

As a sycophantic minister, Lu Yang heaped praise upon Immortal Imperishable: "Immortal, you are extraordinary! By abandoning hereditary succession and adopting the abdication system, allowing the capable to rule, you are achieving something that neither the Great Qian, Great Yu, nor Great Xia Dynasties ever accomplished. This action of yours will surely make your name famous for eternity, admired by future generations, and mark you as an enlightened emperor for all time!"

"Of course I'm extraordinary," Immortal Imperishable said, placing her hands on her hips, chin slightly raised, a hint of pride on her face.

Yunzhi ignored Lu Yang, who was speaking against his true feelings, and Immortal Imperishable, who was almost floating with conceit. She continued her questioning: "Wu Yao's treasure is in the Wen Dao Sect. You should have easily considered that someone in the Wen Dao Sect could have killed Wu Yao. What led you to rule out this possibility?"

"I thought Emperor Yu had left this world, going to a world beyond the box, and that someone from your Wen Dao Sect had fortuitously picked up what he left behind."

"Emperor Yu had a way to leave this world?" Lu Yang was very surprised. The World Box was crafted by the four ancient immortals specifically to trap the mastermind behind the scenes. Even someone as powerful as the mastermind couldn't leave, so how did Emperor Yu manage it?

"He should have."

"Over these two hundred thousand years, I've met Emperor Yu multiple times. Since I'm considered his junior, and there were no conflicts of interest between us, his attitude towards me was quite friendly. He revealed his desire to go to the outside world."

"His Dao Fruit was the Transference Dao Fruit, which focused on exchange. Anything that belonged to him could be used as a bargaining chip."

"I suspect the reason he allowed the Great Yu Dynasty to collapse was because he wanted to sacrifice it. In fact, he might not have merely allowed its demise, but actively accelerated the process. The concurrent natural disasters and man-made calamities at the end of the Great Yu Dynasty, which caused immense suffering, might not have been a coincidence. Perhaps he first sacrificed the Great Yu Dynasty's destiny, and then the dynasty itself."

"In short, his idea was to sacrifice the Great Yu Dynasty in exchange for a method to go to the outside world."

"I originally thought he had gone to the outside world after that, but during the Great Xia period, I twice discovered traces of his activities, though I never saw him."

"Nineteen years ago, a fierce aura suddenly appeared in Yuzhou, which was precisely Emperor Yu's. The fierce aura was fleeting, and the process of its change was unusual, leading me to speculate that Emperor Yu had left this world."

"Yuzhou?" The Senior Disciple Sister nodded. This matched the location where she had fought the ancient immortal, and the process was largely similar.

"If the person I fought was indeed Emperor Yu, then it's entirely possible he used that opportunity to abandon his Dao Fruit, sacrifice himself, escape through death, and travel to the outside world."

At that time, Wu Yao wanted to corrupt the power of national destiny, which concerned millions of common people. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, it would shake the karma of all people in the world. Seeing the unfavorable situation, Yunzhi had no choice but to go all out.

The battle quickly ended, and Yunzhi wasn't sure if Wu Yao had died or escaped to the outside world.

However, it made no difference; the outcome of both scenarios was the removal of Emperor Yu as an uncertain factor.

Nineteen years ago?

Lu Yang was stunned. Wasn't that exactly when he had transmigrated after his death?

Wait a minute, could it be that my past life was in the outside world, and Wu Yao swapped himself out, bringing me in instead?

"Oh, right, Immortal. Can we ask Wanfa Daojun if he's ever felt Dao Fruit suppression before, to determine if the Immortal of Time is still alive?" Lu Yang remembered something else.

The Everlasting Dao Fruit had two higher-tier Dao Fruits: the Immortal Dao Fruit and the Time Dao Fruit.

Immortal Imperishable glanced dismissively at Wanfa Daojun. "It won't work. He hasn't fully mastered the rudimentary form of the Everlasting Dao Fruit, so he can't feel the suppression of a higher-tier Dao Fruit. It might work if it were the Everlasting Immortal Body from ancient times."

"He's lived for two hundred thousand years and still hasn't fully mastered it?" Lu Yang was greatly astonished. Not only had Wanfa Daojun lived for two hundred thousand years, but he could also use the Everlasting Immortal Body to accelerate his cultivation process.

"As I've said, the key to mastering the rudimentary form of a Dao Fruit lies in comprehension, not in simply accumulating time. Someone with poor comprehension wouldn't become an immortal even if they lived for a million years."

"Do you know the whereabouts of the four ancient immortals?" Yunzhi asked directly.

Wanfa Daojun shook his head. "I don't know."

"There's an immortal-grade formation around the sun that prevents anyone from approaching it. Do you know who created this immortal-grade formation?"

Wanfa Daojun showed a strange expression, clearly indicating he knew the inside story.

"There are two immortal-grade formations around the sun. The first was left by the First Emperor Qian. The First Emperor Qian claimed to have established a new order upon the ancient ruins and had grand ambitions, believing that even the sun and moon in the sky were his property. To prevent anyone from approaching, he set up the first immortal-grade formation."

"After the Great Qian Dynasty was destroyed and Wu Yao established the Great Yu Dynasty, he repeatedly tried to approach the sun to observe the power of the sun and moon. However, he couldn't break through the formation left by the First Emperor Qian."

"In his fury, he set up another immortal-grade formation, ensuring that even the First Emperor Qian wouldn't be able to access the sun."

Lu Yang was speechless.

"Are you two founding emperors out of your minds?"

"How many immortals were born during the Great Yu period?"

"Two: Emperor Yu, Wu Yao, and the National Master, Guan Shanhai."

"The first National Master, Guan Shanhai?"

"Yes, both of them became immortals during the founding ceremony of the dynasty."

"Do you know what National Master Guan Shanhai's Dao Fruit was?"

"I don't know."

"How many immortals were born during the Great Qian period?"

"As far as I know, only the First Emperor Qian. After all, he left an immortal-grade formation on the sun. As for whether anyone else became immortal, I don't know."

"One last question: Do you know about the Xin Huo Dynasty?" Yunzhi asked calmly.

Upon hearing this, Wanfa Daojun's pupils suddenly contracted.
