Chapter 162: The Writings of Ying Tian Immortal

Translator: yikaii Editor: yikaii

Looking back, Everlasting Fairy, as one of the ancient five immortals, had a name that echoed throughout the universe, known to all.

Ancient ancestors and demon races would often build altars, offering treasures and valuable artifacts to worship Everlasting Fairy, seeking her mercy.

Some tribes regarded her as their totem and the deity protecting their tribe, holding large-scale worship activities annually. Everlasting Fairy enjoyed a period of unparalleled glory.

Unfortunately, since her revival, times have changed drastically. She has fallen into obscurity, with only a cult that had a few screws loose believing in her, and they don’t even know her name, mistaking even her gender.

Living in Lu Yang’s body, occasionally frightened by that girl Yun Zhi, and mocked by Lu Yang, life has been hard.

Not to mention being an immortal, even a Tribulation Crossing Stage shouldn’t be treated this way.

Finally, someone has opened their eyes to recognize her identity, even offering such a massive flying boat as a tribute.

Looking at the gems embedded in the ship’s hull and its colossal size, this is the respect a true immortal deserves!

In the spiritual space, Lu Yang glanced at Everlasting Fairy, thinking that she seemed quite happy playing the role of sect master these past few days, defeating Spirit Transformation Stage as a Foundation Building cultivator, a feat unprecedented in history. Any talent would feel ashamed in front of such an achievement, claiming it as a historical record wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

“Bringing such a big gift too,” Everlasting Fairy laughed, reaching out to Qiu Jin’an for the treasure that controlled the flying boat, speaking in the ancient language.

“What are you doing?” Qiu Jin’an looked at Lu Yang, who was grinning foolishly, a bit confused, not understanding what Everlasting Fairy was saying. He only knew that one sentence in ancient language.

Qiu Jin’an observed Lu Yang, who, despite not having high cultivation, seemed to be a central figure, standing in the sect master’s position.

Most importantly… was somewhat feminine?

“Didn’t you just say, ‘Great immortal, please accept the most humble offering from your servant’? Isn’t the offering the flying boat?” Everlasting Fairy was also confused, “You, as the vice sect leader, don’t you want to keep your position?”

This time, Everlasting Fairy spoke in Mandarin, which Qiu Jin’an understood. His eyes twitched as he finally grasped the meaning of that ancient sentence.

Encountering a cultivator proficient in ancient civilization surprised him.

“Do you really understand ancient civilization?” Qiu Jin’an looked at Everlasting Fairy skeptically.

After thinking, Everlasting Fairy admitted a big truth: “More than you do.”

Qiu Jin’an laughed in annoyance: “Young man, don’t think reading a few books makes you understand ancient civilization. Let me test you!”

“Do you know about the ‘Heavenly Court’ from ancient times, which classified immortals into several levels? Do you know what those levels are?”

Recently, while exploring a relic, Qiu Jin’an accidentally found an ancient manuscript written by an immortal, detailing the glory of ancient times, especially mentioning the “Heavenly Court”.

“Are you referring to Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, and Primordial Immortal? Or Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Immortal King, Immortal Sovereign, Immortal Emperor? The first set was compiled by Ying Tian Immortal, and the second set by the Qilin Immortal.”

“I compiled it as first-level immortal, second-level immortal, third-level immortal, fourth-level immortal, fifth-level immortal.”

Everlasting Fairy scratched her head; back then, they compiled several cultivation level systems, not sure which one Qiu Jin’an found.

Qiu Jin’an angrily retorted, “Don’t spout nonsense, this is the work of an immortal, how could it be made up?!”

Everlasting Fairy, puzzled, then had a realization: “Who said immortals must tell the truth? Oh, I see, you must have found Ying Tian Immortal’s compilation, his is the most comprehensive and very impressive.”

“Let me tell you, Ying Tian Immortal’s words cannot be trusted, all lies. Before he became an immortal, he often lied to me, I beat him up just like beating a grandchild.”

Qiu Jin’an was startled, feeling that the Everlasting Fairy was talking nonsense, but the ancient book indeed mentioned Ying Tian Immortal: “Have you seen that book?”

Everlasting Fairy nodded: “Of course. Besides Ying Tian Immortal, is there also a mention of a certain ‘Hawking Immortal’?”

Lu Yang thought to himself, why does that sound like someone with a physical disability? Was it an illusion? (TL Note: Reference to Stephen Hawking)

“If you don’t believe me, bring out the book, and I’ll show you how to distinguish the real from the fake.”

Doubtfully, Qiu Jin’an took out the ancient manuscript, which had a grandiose title, called “Prisoning Heaven.”

Pointing at the cover, he said, “Look, it’s clearly written here, ‘Ying Tian Immortal Authored’, it was clearly written by Ying Tian Immortal.”

Everlasting Fairy shook her head: “Did you not notice the small blank space between Tian and Immortal?”

“What does that mean?”

“You read it wrong. You read it as ‘Ying Tian Immortal, Authored’, but the actual reading is ‘Ying Tian, Immortal Authored’. So, it was written by someone named ‘Ying Tian’, not Ying Tian Immortal.”

The Grand Elder and others chuckled secretly upon seeing Qiu Jin’an taken aback.

“Hahaha, Jin’an, I’ve told you before, don’t always show off your limited knowledge,” the Grand Elder and others laughed discreetly, while Shangguan Yu, standing behind Qiu Jin’an, laughed out loud, completely disregarding his feelings.

With an apologetic tone, Shangguan Yu said to the people of the Dao Seeking Sect: “Sorry, as you all know, Jin’an is just thick-skinned and never admits his mistakes. He doesn’t understand the original meaning of ancient language, causing this misunderstanding. My apologies.”

“Please accept these gifts.”

The disciples of the Five Elements Sect started unloading various treasures, ores, elixirs, and techniques from the boat, each of which could be the highlight or even the finale at an auction, immensely valuable.

The most precious were the Five Elements ores, a specialty of the Five Elements Sect, divided into five types based on the attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, distinguishable by color, each representing the ultimate form of its attribute, sought after by master smiths.

The Fifth Elder, Zhou Xin, looked at the Five Elements ores like a wolf spotting its prey at night, his eyes glowing green.

Visits between the Five Great Immortal Sects always involve bringing some gifts.

For instance, the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace often brings branches of the moon laurel tree and essence of the moon as gifts.

The Hanging Temple offers Buddhist scriptures and consecrated Buddhist treasures as gifts.

The Prison-Suppressing Sect brings tamed ghosts and goblins as gifts.

The Dao Seeking Sect, on the other hand, is rather unique, or rather casual, especially when Daoist Non-Speaker was still around.

For example, they sent top-grade body refining techniques to the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace, which, once mastered, resulted in a body as strong as reinforced steel, skin hard as iron, infuriating the people of the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace who wanted to fight someone right then and there.

What sort of image does it create for female cultivators to practice such techniques?

Or when they sent the long-lost silent meditation technique to the Hanging Temple, Daoist Non-Speaker even claimed to have practiced it himself with great results.

The abbot laughed twice, thinking if this miscreant could succeed in practice, why would he be called ‘Non-Speaker’?

Daoist Non-Speaker insisted it was genuine, so the abbot practiced it skeptically.

Then, he found that whenever he spoke, there was a garlic taste, causing those around him to beg him to shut up.

Daoist Non-Speaker explained, “Isn’t silent meditation about making others want you to shut up?”

This infuriated the abbot so much that he transformed into an immovable king, suppressing Daoist Non-Speaker, this troublemaker.
