Who Let Him Cultivate?!

"My lord, is it really you? Have you truly come back to life?" Qinghe covered her mouth with both hands, still unable to believe that her lord was truly alive.

She couldn't help herself and stepped forward to embrace him, to confirm she wasn't dreaming.

"It's me, I've come back to life," Fairy Eternity said with a smile as she patted Qinghe's back, gently comforting her, just as she had when she had risked her life to save Qinghe during a crisis in Ancient Times.

"My lord, I've waited for you for so long, I thought I'd never see you again..."

Qinghe's speech was filled with sobs, and realizing she had overstepped, she hurriedly let go of Fairy Eternity. However, Fairy Eternity stepped forward and embraced her again, whispering softly in her ear, "Little Lotus, I'm glad to see you unhurt."

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

Ashy Bean looked at Zuo Shi Immortal, who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly felt very bored.

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

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

Lu Yang felt he had fulfilled his duty towards the Clan Leader Jin Tan for helping him forge the identity of a Five Star Spirit Chef. Although he had not followed Jin Tan's arrangement to ask for legendary ingredients, he had helped capture Daoist Ming Yuan, which, rounding up, could be considered fulfilling Jin Tan's wish to become the leader of the Spirit Chef Alliance.

"Chief Housekeeper, I knew you would come to save me!" Yun Mengmeng shouted as she hopped over to Fairy Eternity. She wasn't too panicked when facing Zuo Shi Immortal earlier because she believed the Chief Housekeeper would come in time.

"Wait, is the Chief Housekeeper the 'my lord' you spoke of?!" Qinghe asked in shock, as though she had heard a ghost story.

She should have guessed when she learned that Yun Mengmeng possessed the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit, but at that time, she was too busy with rescuing others to think about it.

"So, the Second-in-command you've always talked about is…"

"This gentleman here, he's our Immortal Lineage Second Boss!" said Yun Mengmeng, seriously presenting Lu Yang.

"Senior Qinghe, hello, I often hear the Fairy mention you," Lu Yang said with a sheepish grin, always feeling that Senior Qinghe's gaze on him was somewhat dissatisfied.

Of course, Qinghe wouldn't give Lu Yang a warm welcome. According to Yun Mengmeng's description, Lu Yang, having the favor of their lord, would pester her all day and was full of lies.

Fortunately, their lord had a pure heart and hadn't been tainted.

"Divinity Transformation Stage?" Qinghe raised an eyebrow, wondering how someone at the Divinity Transformation Stage had become the Second-in-command of the Immortal Lineage.

She herself was untalented and had repeatedly tried and failed to condense the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit, so she had no choice but to settle for the Longevity Dao Fruit Embryo, losing the qualification to become a member of the Immortal Lineage.

How had this youngster earned such favor from their lord?

"Don't belittle the Second-in-command just because his cultivation level is low. He had an Incense-converged Immortal Body in Buddha Country, and he was very strong. Even Si Chen God Lord and some Emperor Avatar were no match for him!" Yun Mengmeng defended Lu Yang's honor, signaling that the Second-in-command was quite formidable.

"Immortal Body from Buddha Country, Si Chen God Lord? Are you the one who took action at Western Paradise Temple?" Qinghe was shocked, as she had assumed that battle was the work of Yun Mengmeng.

The battle at the Western Paradise Temple, that Mysterious Immortal who had the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit—did it mean he could use the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit?

"Yeah, isn't Little Yang impressive?" Fairy Eternity said to Qinghe with delight. Qinghe saw herself as subordinated to Fairy Eternity, while Fairy Eternity considered them close friends with whom she could share anything.

"Speaking of my resurrection, it's largely thanks to Little Yang. He joined the Eternity Sect and learned the method to revive me and unintentionally called out my name."

Qinghe's expression became serious, realizing it was Lu Yang who had revived their lord; her attitude just now seemed somewhat disrespectful.

However, even if it was Lu Yang who had revived their lord, that didn't justify him deceiving the lord every day with flattery.

Ashy Bean glared fiercely at Lu Yang, "It's all because of you. If you hadn't meddled and revived Immortal Eternity, would there be all this trouble now?"

At that thought, the grip of Ashy Bean's hand on top of Zuo Shi Immortal's head tightened, causing him so much pain he thought Ashy Bean might seize the opportunity to kill him.

"Don't kill me, please don't kill me. If that's so, I also contributed to the resurrection of Immortal Eternity!"

"You?"

Everyone turned their heads in unison, looking at Zuo Shi Immortal with some surprise.

"It was I who created the Eternity Sect."

Zuo Shi Immortal had always been searching for a Dao Fruit Outline that could allow him to survive the hands of Silent Extermination Immortal. Even though he possessed the Rejuvenation Dao Fruit Outline, which could increase vitality, the most suitable for preserving life was undoubtedly the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit.

But the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit was not as easily obtainable as the Rejuvenation Dao Fruit Outline. The Fire Dynasty, Great Qian, and Great Yu combined over the course of three hundred thousand years could not produce the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit.

That's why he established the Eternity Sect, hoping to condense the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit through the power of incense and fire.

Then he encountered Yun Zhi in Great Xia. After clashing with her, he fled in a sorry state, no longer daring to visit Great Xia, instead sending a clone there.

Subsequently, the Eternity Sect was destroyed, and his clone was also eliminated; he gained nothing.

But all these matters weren't worth mentioning. It was more important to claim credit and save his own life.

"In order to resurrect Immortal Eternity, I followed the example of the Fire Dynasty and established the Eternity Sect!"

"Who are you trying to fool? If you really wanted to resurrect the Fairy, would you even mess up the Immortal's name?" Lu Yang exposed Zuo Shi Immortal's lie right away.

To resurrect the Fairy, one must chant the correct Immortal's title. The immortal worshiped by the Eternity Sect was called Immortal Eternity. That wouldn't resurrect anyone.

"You clearly established the Eternity Sect to secure the Initial Form of Immortal Dao Fruit, using the faith of incense as leverage!"

Seeing the others turning increasingly hostile toward him and his life at imminent risk, Zuo Shi Immortal, desperate to prove his worth, blurted out a secret that lay heavy on his heart.

"I know who the mastermind behind the scenes is!"

"!"

Once he said this, everyone was shocked, including Ashy Bean.

The root cause of everything was the mastermind who killed Fairy Eternity!

And until now, no one knew the real identity of the mastermind and why they wanted Fairy Eternity dead.

"My Insight Dao Fruit allows me to see clearly in all ten directions, above and below the heavens, the past, and the future."

"When I had condensed my Insight Dao Fruit, the Yingtian Immortal and his cohorts asked me to see who exactly killed Immortal Eternity."

Lu Yang remembered Ao Ling mentioning this incident, saying that despite Zuo Shi Immortal exerting himself to the point of profuse sweating with his Dao Fruit, he couldn't discern anything significant.

Zuo Shi Immortal, trembling, said, "Actually, I did see the person behind the scenes then—it was the four of them, Yingtian Immortal and his group!"

"The four of them wanted to obtain the Immortal Dao Fruit, but Immortal Eternity was in their way. They hatched a plan to kill Immortal Eternity, to leave the Immortal's position vacant!"

Four instigators eyed him greedily, surrounding him and questioning who the murderer was. He would have to be tired of living to dare tell the truth.
