Chapter 182: Foreseeing the Future

Translator: yikaii Editor: yikaii

Lu Yang felt that the reason Everlasting Fairy could not learn to foresee the future had a lot to do with Immemorial Immortal not teaching her seriously.

Lu Yang followed Everlasting Fairy to study the language of the ancients, with difficult vocabulary popping out one after another.

After reciting it a few times, Lu Yang was able to speak the phrase fluently.

“Speaking of which, to resurrect you, fairy, is whether we are using the language of the ancients to chant your name or using the current language relevant, since both are able to resurrect you?” Lu Yang remembered the time he resurrected Everlasting Fairy using the modern language.

“Hehe, as I said, my ariya-phala is everlasting.’ Everlasting endures eternity; why would it be confined by languages? But Ying Tian Immortal and the others don’t know about this,” Everlasting Fairy laughed somewhat “slyly,” willing to share this little secret with Lu Yang.

“You mustn’t tell anyone else about this; I’m only telling you because you resurrected me and allowed me to reside in your body for so long!” Everlasting Fairy cautioned.

“Of course!” Lu Yang promised, thumping his chest.

Lu Yang began to study foresight earnestly. He sat cross-legged, deeply contemplating this grand and divine power renowned even in ancient legends.

Lu Yang seldom let Everlasting Fairy instruct him, fearing she might lead him astray, but when he really couldn’t figure something out, he still had to ask.

Everlasting Fairy watched as Lu Yang gradually touched the Essence of foresight, secretly alarmed, indicating that Lu Yang was not far from mastering it.

She verbally downplayed Lu Yang’s technique talents as inferior to her own, merely because she was embarrassed to admit that Lu Yang’s talents surpassed hers.

She could not learn the technique of time during her foundation-building phase.

A mid-foundation stage practitioner, having mastered the spatial technique Miles in a Step, was about to learn the temporal technique of foresight. Describing Lu Yang as monstrously talented would not be an exaggeration.

Everlasting Fairy soon put this aside, since her strength was not in techniques; why then should she compare her weaknesses with Lu Yang’s strengths?

Lu Yang chanted the solemn ancient words, his middle finger and index finger together, and shouted, “Foresight!”

“Did it work?” Everlasting Fairy was surprised; he learned so quickly.

Golden runes appeared around Lu Yang, dissipating into the void, and after about three minutes, the golden runes left the void and returned to Lu Yang’s body.

Lu Yang’s eyes shone like gold; he had successfully seen the future!

“I saw… myself from two minutes ago?!”

Lu Yang saw himself from two minutes earlier, dumbfoundedly holding up his arm, waiting for feedback from the golden runes, looking somewhat foolish.

The corner of his eye twitched; theoretically, he had learned to foresee the future, successfully predicting what would happen one minute after casting the technique.

But in reality, he knew the result would take three minutes to arrive.

“What’s the use of that?!” Lu Yang complained.

Lu Yang felt that it was probably because he hadn’t yet mastered it proficiently.

“Practice more.”

Lu Yang reflected on his actions, identified potential issues, patched the gaps, and cast the technique again.

He waited three minutes after casting the technique and saw what would happen one and a half minutes later (after casting).

“…There’s some progress.” Lu Yang comforted himself, perking up.

“Keep it up!” Everlasting Fairy encouraged from the side.

“Once more!”

After the Five Elements Sect left, senior brothers and sisters took turns fighting with Lu Yang, continuously battling him until the early morning, then burying him in the small forest at Heaven’s Gate Peak.

Lu Yang passed the fairy’s test and began to practice diligently from dawn.

As time progressed, from morning to evening, the sun turned to the moon, and moonlight poured onto Dao Seeking Sect like a tide, casting a mysterious veil.

Heaven rewards the diligent. After repeated practice, research, studying, and solving problems, the foreseeable future extended closer and closer to the crucial three-minute mark.

Suddenly, Lu Yang felt a boom in his mind, as if breaking through a barrier, and he crossed the three-minute threshold to predict the future.

Lu Yang’s eyes gleamed golden, standing out like two candlelights in the night.

“What did you see?” Everlasting Fairy excitedly asked.

Lu Yang’s expression was strange: “I only saw a snippet. Eldest Senior Sister was leaving the prison peak, I ran up to her and said I must learn from master, to become as carefree as him, spending days in frivolity, neither cultivating nor doing serious work. Eldest Senior Sister smiled faintly, hugged me, patted my back, and said she would take care of me in the future.”

“Really?” Everlasting Fairy was shocked. What kind of strange future was that?

“It feels real!” Lu Yang was also puzzled.

“I feel something’s not quite right,” Everlasting Fairy said, eyes darting about, tempting, “Immemorial Immortal once said, the future cannot be changed, and since you’ve seen it, it must happen.”

“The only way to verify the truth is to test it!”

Convinced by Everlasting Fairy’s logic, Lu Yang set off for the prison peak.

At that moment, Yun Zhi had just come out from the prison peak, her fists still stained with blood. Though her expression was still impassive, those familiar with her knew she was in a good mood.

Yun Zhi had successfully extracted a wealth of information about the Undying Sect from two vice-sect leaders, including the location of the Undying Sect headquarters.

Seeing Lu Yang running over excitedly, Yun Zhi asked, “Little junior brother, what’s the matter?”

Lu Yang flashed a radiant smile, saying, “I must learn from master, to adopt his irresponsible ways, spending my days in leisure without cultivating or doing any serious work.”

Boom—Crack—

For some reason, the originally clear sky became overcast with thunder and lightning, and large drops of rain began to fall.

“Eh, it’s raining, I told you it would rain tonight!” Everlasting Fairy boasted, her weather prediction was still very accurate.

Lu Yang noticed, after he spoke those words, Eldest Senior Sister’s expressionless face turned into a faint smile. Though it was a smile, combined with the thunder and lightning in the sky, and Lu Yang’s intuition, this smile exerted tremendous pressure on him.

A life or death crisis!

Lu Yang swallowed hard, hurried back to his spiritual space, and stealthily asked, “Fairy, can high cultivation levels allow emotional changes to affect the weather?”

“Yes.”

Lu Yang finally understood why the usually rainless Dao Seeking Sect was experiencing rain today.

He had angered Eldest Senior Sister!

“Your weather prediction is really accurate, fairy!” Lu Yang said through gritted teeth.

In reality, Yun Zhi gently patted Lu Yang’s shoulder, speaking in a soft tone, “Little junior brother, have you been so tense in your cultivation that you’ve started talking nonsense?”

Lu Yang shivered, instinctively shaking his head, then realizing the reaction was wrong, quickly nodded like a pecking chicken, unable to utter a word.

He finally understood what the technique he had cultivated was.

Foreseeing the future—knowing beforehand things that would not come to pass.
