Chapter 351: Ancient Secrets
The Immortal Fairy sighed, thinking that this was the sadness of the times: "How come you are so full of rumors in this era? You even dare to spread rumors about immortals."
As a part of this era, Lu Yang listened to the fairy's teachings and expressed that he would conduct deep reflection.
"Ying Tianxian is such a good person. Although he was unlucky enough to be challenged by me every time before he became an immortal, he is still a rare genius in the world and has great fame. I didn't expect that after he became an immortal, he would be harmed by rumors from later generations after he became famous and successful."
Lu Yang took the opportunity to ask, "Does Ying Tianxian have a wife and children?"
"Probably not, but he is quite popular with women."
"What do you mean?"
"According to the general public's perspective, Ying Tianxian is very handsome, but I don't think so. Of course, it could also be because I always beat him up."
"Before he became an immortal, there were often powerful female cultivators who loved him and kidnapped him and forced him to have sex with them. This happened not once or twice, but more than five times to me. I have heard from others that there have been even more times."
"…I'm so envious. No, I mean I'm so unlucky."
Lu Yang continued to read "Ancient Secrets" and found that the book mentioned the Four Ancient Immortals, but only Yingtianxian had a clear title, while the other three were referred to by pseudonyms, such as demon fairy, a certain immortal, and the like.
"It should be that among the four ancient immortals, Yingtian Immortal is the most famous. It is also possible that the book that can be bought with three thousand spirit stones will not tell you everything."
Considering that Ying Tianxian created the thunder tribulation, Lu Yang had reason to suspect that Ying Tianxian's name was widely circulated among high-level cultivators, or was widely despised.
"Look at this, it also mentions the ancient battle between the dragon and phoenix ancestors, and the story of the phoenix ancestor's rebirth from the ashes!" Meng Jingzhou pointed to one of the pages and said, he was a little excited to see the familiar story.
He heard it from the pure-blooded Phoenix clan in Luofeng County. What they said was a little more detailed than what was in the book, but the general outline was pretty much the same.
Lu Yang rubbed his brows in pain, thinking that the archaeologists had a hard time. The things they spent so much time researching turned out to be completely different from the actual situation.
"This is a secret about the Chaos Clan, one of the Four Evils of Ancient Times. The Chaos Clan is born faceless and of unknown gender. After reaching adulthood, they can adjust their gender and appearance at any time according to their own wishes. In ancient times, the Chaos Clan established a rule that the strong are respected in the world of immortal cultivation, and the strong are subject to the weak. The strong are male and the weak are female."
"Is this true?" Lu Yang asked the Immortal Fairy for confirmation.
The Immortal Fairy affirmed: "This is true."
"The Chaos Clan is just as you have heard. When they are born, their bodies are in chaos and everything is unclear. They are a rare species where their innate nature is determined by their acquired nature. Some even say that this is proof of confusing cause and effect."
"The Chaos Clan had such a rule. The strong decided the gender of the weak."
"There is nothing wrong with the rule itself. It just so happened that a remarkable genius emerged in the Chaos Clan at that time. Although he was not as talented as the Dragon and Phoenix Clan geniuses, he was still one of the top three fighters in the history of the Chaos Clan."
"He likes to have a harem and pursue excitement, so he defeated all the Chaos and turned them all into them."
"The Chaos Clan can freely decide their appearance, so they are all beauties."
"The result is that he is the only male in the huge Chaos Clan, and the rest are all females. They are almost extinct."
"It was the Qilin Immortal who came forward to mediate and advised him to restrain his desires and ask the Chaos Clan to change the rules."
"Later, the Chaos Clan changed the rules to allow people to define their own gender. I don't know if the rules have changed now."
Lu Yang: “…”
Don’t tell Meng Jingzhou about this kind of thing, lest he become envious after hearing it.
"There is also a legend recorded here. In ancient times, a woodcutter went up the mountain to chop wood. He accidentally broke into a cave and met two immortals playing chess. The immortals' chess skills were superb and contained great insights into the universe. After the game of chess was over, the woodcutter discovered that the environment outside the cave had changed drastically and a hundred years had passed."
"I guess the story of the first leader of the Immortal Cult was adapted from this ancient rumor."
Lu Yang said confidently: "If my guess is correct, one of these two ancient immortals must be the immortal of time. Only he can allow the woodcutter to watch chess for a hundred years!"
The Immortal Fairy chuckled and said, "I guessed wrong. The ones playing chess are Yingtian Fairy and Qilin Fairy, two lousy chess players."
"At that time, I invited the four of them to my house for dinner, and they all agreed without hesitation. However, Ying Tianxian and Qilinxian said they were playing chess and would come over after the winner was decided. I said okay."
"I waited and waited, but they didn't come for a long time. I asked Jiuchongxian to chop wood, and Jiuchongxian volunteered to go over and check the situation, but he never came back."
"During this period, the Immortal of Time also came over. He came back and told me that they were comprehending the great Dao while playing chess and that we couldn't disturb them. I said that we should just eat together. The Immortal of Time said that they were all immortals, so they should share happiness and hardships. If they wanted to eat, they could eat together. If they didn't want to eat, they wouldn't eat together. How could two of them eat while the other three were hungry?"
"I thought what he said made sense, so I waited a little longer, and this wait lasted for a hundred years."
"After a hundred years, the food has gone cold. No matter how you eat it, you won't be able to finish it."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
The Immortal Fairy felt a little regretful, thinking that the level of Yingtian Fairy and Qilin Fairy was really low, and they had been playing chess for a hundred years without any result.
Lu Yang: “…”
He is truly worthy of being an immortal with infinite lifespan; a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
Ying Tianxian's three brothers are even more ruthless. In order to not have food, they would rather play chess for a hundred years.
Although this book "Ancient Secrets" is slightly different from the real ancient times, it is the result of scholars' research after all. The original story does exist and it is not fabricated out of thin air.
As for why there was a rumor that Ying Tianxian was beautiful, Lu Yang was not sure. Maybe there was an error in the research method, or maybe the source of the information was wrong.
Lu Yang and his companions passed by a roadside stall. Lu Yang took a closer look. On the stall were small golden towers, jade bottles, sealed pills whose medicinal effects were still slowly fading, and broken flying swords...
"Lu Yang, wait a minute, have you seen that flying sword? What a great thing! This is the flying sword used by the Qilin Fairy!" The Immortal Fairy called Lu Yang excitedly.
The flying sword was broken and very different from its original appearance. If the Immortal Fairy had not seen it several times, she would not have dared to be sure that this was the sword of the Qilin Fairy.
"What?" Lu Yang's heart moved. He didn't expect to encounter the flying sword used by the Qilin Immortal in such a place. This is an immortal sword!
The Golden Finger Immortal Fairy finally worked.
"Wait, could this be the sword that Qilin Fairy used during his foundation-building period?" Lu Yang looked at the Immortal Fairy warily.
The Immortal Fairy was displeased, thinking that Lu Yang didn't trust her enough: "Of course not, this is the immortal sword that Qilin Fairy held after she became an immortal. Qilin Fairy specially asked Yingtian Fairy to temper it with the power of thunder!"
Lu Yang was overjoyed. Refined by Yingtian Immortal and used by Qilin Immortal, the price of this flying sword skyrocketed.
Big bargain!
