Who Let Him Cultivate?! - Chapter 281
Chapter 281: Chapter 280: Sacrificing to Fairy Eternity_1
If the second possibility were true, it would be hard to imagine. The rise and fall of a dynasty was a major event with detailed records.
But today, let alone records, not even names remain.
Who was the founding emperor, how many years did the dynasty exist, how many Cultivators experienced the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, what caused the demise, why there isn’t a shred of record… all of these are impossible to know.
The most crucial question is the last one. Perhaps there is a connection with the method of erasing the existence of Fairy Eternity.
“Fairy, are there any anomalies occurring in heaven and earth when an Immortal perishes?”
Fairy Eternity was stunned by this question: “There has never been a case of an Immortal falling in history, who knows if there are any anomalies… Oh no, I’m wrong, I’ve died.”
“I don’t know what happens after I die, I guess there’s none?”
Fairy Eternity was unsure in her answer.
“There’s no anomaly,” Yun Zhi answered for Fairy Eternity and this response surprised Lu Yang.
How did Eldest Senior Sister know?
Lu Yang didn’t delve into this. If Immortals could perish without anomalies, in other words, no one might be aware of an Immortal’s fall.
Why did the Four Immortals of Ancients not resurrect Fairy Eternity?
Did they not want to resurrect her, were unable to resurrect her, or did they flat out not know that Fairy Eternity had perished?
No, even if they didn’t know about the Fairy’s fall at that time, they should have realized that something had happened to the Fairy in three hundred thousand years and sought to resurrect her.
“Don’t think about this problem anymore.” Yun Zhi didn’t linger in front of the murals, she left straight away and Lu Yang and Fairy Eternity quickly followed.
“The only text in the remains are those on the murals. Since we can’t find an answer at this stage, we should wait until we gather enough information to think about it.” Yun Zhi reminded Lu Yang not to be too focused on this and trap himself inside this problem.
Lu Yang listened to Yun Zhi’s words and nodded, no longer thinking about it.
“This site of ruins has nineteen floating platforms. Although numerous, their layout is more or less the same, all featuring several buildings.”
Eldest Senior Sister spread hands, a model of the ruins was constructed in her palms. Eighteen floating platforms were arranged around the largest in the middle, following a certain pattern, as if performing a kind of ritual activity.
The largest platform had multiple buildings that were also arranged in the form of an arch, protecting the altar in the very center.
The place they were heading to was this sacrificial altar.
The more Fairy Eternity looked at the layout, the more familiar it seemed: “This method of worship, doesn’t it look like how they worshipped me in ancient times?”
“Like the way they worshipped you?”
Fairy Eternity nodded and mentioned another secret of Immortals: “Yeah, after I became an Immortal, didn’t the Yingtian Immortal and others insist on giving me a planet?”
“They said that since I was an Immortal, I needed believers to conveniently display my power and dignity of an Immortal. I said that was troublesome, they said it didn’t matter, they could help me design a set of worship procedures.”
“The method of worship in these ruins is similar to the one Ying Tian immortal and others designed. They said the number eighteen is special in cultivation. Nine represents the ultimate, and eighteen represents eternal extremes. This worship method symbolizes that I have received eighteen kinds of blessings, making me eternally exist without increase or decrease. It’s the highest specification of worship, none of them four have this.”
Lu Yang gasped. Fairy’s face value was quite large. The Four Immortals joined hands just to design a set of worship procedures for her and explain the design philosophy to her?
The Four Immortals of the Ancients were really open-minded, not caring at all about Fairy Eternity’s constant troubles. Maybe only with such a mentality, could one become an Immortal.
Lu Yang felt the revelations, but also felt something off.
Eldest Senior Sister, who had been silently listening to Fairy Eternity’s story, wore a strange expression and said: “But according to the old scholars’ research on this method of worship, combined with records from the ancient times, they think that this is an obscure Array Method from ancient times, known as the Eighteen Hells Exorcism Array.”
Everything seemed to make sense to Lu Yang now.
After hearing that, Fairy Eternity was grinding her teeth, wishing that she could single-handedly confront the Four Immortals of the Ancients to show them who was truly the strongest Immortal of the ancient times: “Those bastards of Ying Tian Immortal, I’ve treated them well, yet they dared to treat me this way!”
‘I think them treating you this way is already quite accommodating.’
Of course, Lu Yang would never dare to say this out in front of Fairy Eternity; he was afraid of getting hit.
“That’s it! They must have been envious of my talent because I had beaten them too many times before they became Immortals and formed the Eternity Dao Fruit when I became an Immortal. They found an opportunity to take revenge on me!” Fairy Eternity quickly found a reason from herself, attributing it to her own strength.
The three of them reached the center of the altar, where a hundred meter high giant Immortal statue was erected, it was the same gender-indistinguishable Immortal Eternity statue that Lu Yang had seen before.
It appeared that this was the original site of the Immortal Eternity statue. The founding Master saw this statue and established the Eternity Sect.
Various rare and invaluable dishes made of heavenly treasures were laid at the feet of the Immortal, the worst ingredient among them was a five-thousand-year-old glossy ganoderma.
Perhaps because the quality of the ingredients was too high, despite the long passage of time, nothing had gone rotten or moldy.
Fairy Eternity made a face of disgust, expressing great dissatisfaction with the Eternity Sect’s practices: “They really have no taste, putting food at the foot.”
These were the leftovers from when the Eternity Sect hadn’t fallen and came here for worship.
The Eternity ruins were crucial for the Eternity Sect. Apart from the prayers every ten years, a series of major events, such as the appointment and dismissal of the Master, the blessing of the Master, the betrayal of the Master, and others all took place here, under the watchful eye of the Immortal Eternity.
“Let’s go. According to the submitted reports, the inside of the statue hides a world of its own.”
Yun Zhi led the two around to the back of the statue, where there was a hidden door. Mysterious symbols were floating in front of the door, constantly sinking and wavering, sealing the door and making it impossible to open.
Yun Zhi checked the strength of the mysterious symbols, thinking that it could be forcibly opened, but doing so might damage the things inside.
“The founding Master discovered several Immortal Treasures from behind this door. He accidentally opened the door and took a few of them. When he tried to come back for the other treasures, the door was already closed.”
“He tried several times but still couldn’t open the door. In the end, he had no choice but to take the other Immortal Treasures, leave the ruin, and establish the Eternity Sect.”
“The founding Master tried his whole life, but could not open the door, and subsequent Masters also wanted to open the door and take the Immortal Treasures to strengthen the Eternity Sect, but they all ended in failure.”
“The old scholars were also helpless and said that this was a seal left by the Immortals and only an Immortal could open it.”
“Fairy, do you know the meaning of this symbol and can you open this door?”
With a look of reminiscence on her face, Fairy Eternity said: “It looks just like my kitchen door?”
“You see this symbol, I wrote it, the meaning is ‘Kitchen is a private area, no outsiders allowed.’”
