Fairy Eternity sighed sadly, feeling this was a sorrow of the era, “In your time, why is everything about spreading rumors, even dares to fabricate rumors about the Immortals?”

Being part of this era, Lu Yang listened to the fairy’s teachings and declared he would reflect deeply on this.

“How good was Yingtian Immortal as a person, although he was repeatedly challenged by me before he became immortal, making him quite unlucky, yet he was nonetheless a rare genius of all times, full of glory. It’s hard to believe that even after his success and fame, he was harmed by rumours of later generations.”

Lu Yang took the opportunity to ask, “Did Yingtian Immortal have a wife and children?”

“Probably not, but he had a very good affinity with women.”

“How so?”

“By ordinary standards, Yingtian Immortal was quite handsome, I didn’t think so, of course, it might have been because I always ended up beating him black and blue.”

“Before he became an immortal, he was often seized by strong female cultivators who admired him, forcing him into relations. It happened more than once or twice, just the times I encountered, there were at least five, and there were more according to others.”

“…How envious…err no, I mean how unfortunate.”

Lu Yang continued to leaf through “Ancient Secrets”, finding mentions of the Four Immortals of the Ancients, but only Yingtian Immortal had a clear title, the other three were represented by pseudonyms such as Demon Immortal or a certain Immortal, and so on.

“Most likely out of the Four Immortals of the Ancients, Yingtian Immortal was the most famous, or the books you can get for three thousand Spirit Stones will not tell you everything.”

Considering that Yingtian Immortal created the Thunder Tribulation, Lu Yang had reason to suspect that Yingtian Immortal’s name was widely circulated or rather widely scorned among high-level cultivators.

“Look at this, it also mentions the great battle between the ancient Dragon and Phoenix ancestors, and the Phoenix ancestor showing off its ability to be reborn from flames!” Meng Jingzhou pointed at one of the pages, showing some excitement seeing a familiar story.

He heard about it in Luofeng County from the Pure Blood Phoenix Tribe, who spoke more detail than the book, but the general events were not vastly different.

Lu Yang rubbed his temples in pain, feeling that archaeologists really had it rough. Spending so much time verifying facts only to end up with wildly different results from actual events.

“This is about one of the Four Fiends of the Ancient times, a member of the Chaos tribe. When a Chaos tribe member is born, they have no face, their gender is undefined. As adults, they can adjust their gender and appearance at will according to their own desires. During the ancient times, the Chaos tribe established a rule that in the Cultivation World, the strong are revered. The powerful should submit to the weak, with the powerful being males and the weak females.”

“Really?” Lu Yang sought confirmation from Fairy Eternity.

Fairy Eternity affirmed, “That’s true.”

“The Chaos tribe is indeed as you have heard, they’re born in a state of chaos, everything about them is undetermined. They’re one of the few species where postnatal decisions can lead to prenatal changes, some even say this is evidence of effect preceding cause.”

“The Chaos tribe did have such a rule, that the powerful determine the gender of the weak.”

“It wouldn’t have been an issue by itself, it just so happened the Chaos tribe at the time spawned an incredible genius. While still inferior to the prodigies of the Dragon and Phoenix tribes, this person was still among the top three strongest in the history of Chaos tribe.”

“This person loved having a harem and sought thrills, so he defeated all other Chaos tribe members, turning them into females.”

“The members of the Chaos tribe could freely decide their appearances, so all of them became beautiful.”

“As a result, the entire Chaos tribe ended up with only him as a male and everyone else female, they almost went extinct.”

“It was the intervention of the Qilin Immortal, convincing him to control his desires and urging the Chaos Tribe to modify their rule.”

“Later, the Chaos tribe changed their rule to gender self-determination. I’m not sure if their rule has changed now.”

Lu Yang: “…”

This information should not be shared with Meng Jingzhou to avoid his jealousy after hearing about it.

“There’s also a legend recorded here. In ancient times, a woodcutter entered a cave while cutting wood on a mountain and encountered two Immortals playing chess. The Immortal’s level of chess was superior, encompassing the principles of heaven and earth. As soon as their game ended, the woodcutter realized he was already gone for a hundred years.”

“Presumably, the story of the first master of the Eternity Sect is adapted from this ancient tale.”

Lu Yang said confidently, “If my guess is correct, one of these two ancient Immortals must be Suiyue, the Time Immortal. Only he could let the woodcutter watch chess for a hundred years!”

Fairy Eternity gave a smirk, “Wrong guess. The ones playing the chess were Ying Tian Immortal and Qilin Immortal. Those two terrible chess players.”

“I had invited the four of them home for a meal. They all agreed readily. However, Ying Tian Immortal and Qilin Immortal both said that they were playing chess and would come over once the game was decided. I agreed to it.”

“I waited and waited for them. In the end, I told Jiuchong Immortal to gather some firewood and he volunteered to go and see what was happening. He never returned after he left.”

“During that time, Suiyue also went over to check. After returning, Suiyue told me they were trying to comprehend the Dao through chess and cannot be disturbed. He suggested that we should eat and if they don’t eat, the rest of us should starve too.”

“I thought his reasoning made sense, so I waited again. And this time I ended up waiting for a hundred years.”

“When the hundred years were up, the food had gone cold. There was no way we could eat it then.”

Fairy Eternity felt regret. She thought Yingtian Immortal and Qilin Immortal were really lousy. They couldn’t even decide on a game of chess after a hundred years.

Lu Yang: “…”

As expected from immortals who had unlimited lifetimes. They could just let a hundred years slip by.

Yingtian Immortal and his two brothers were even harsher characters. They’d rather play chess for a hundred years than attend a dinner.

Even though “Ancient Secrets” was somewhat different from the real ancient era, it was still the result of scholars’ investigations, so there was some truth in it. It wasn’t just made up out of nowhere.

As for why rumors that Yingtian Immortal had a weakness for beauties had spread, Lu Yang was clueless. Maybe there was an error in the research methodology, or possibly, the information source was incorrect.

As they passed by a street vendor, Lu Yang gave it an extra glance. A golden tower, jade bottle, sealed elixir whose medicinal effect was slowly disappearing, a broken flying sword… were all displayed on the stall.

“Lu Yang, wait! Did you see that flying sword? It’s a good item. It was used by Qilin Immortal!” Fairy Eternity excitedly stopped Lu Yang.

The flying sword was broken and far from its original state. If not for Fairy Eternity having seen it a few times, even she wouldn’t be sure this was Qilin Immortal’s sword.

“What?” Lu Yang’s heart raced at the unexpected encounter with a flying sword used by Qilin Immortal in such a place. This was an Immortal Sword!

The golden finger, Fairy Eternity, finally came through.

“Wait, you’re not saying it’s the sword that Qilin Immortal used during his Foundation Establishment Stage, are you?” Lu Yang warily looked at Fairy Eternity.

Fairy Eternity frowned, feeling that Lu Yang didn’t put enough trust in her, “What kind of talk is that? It’s definitely not! This is the Immortal Sword that Qilin Immortal used after he became an immortal, which was specifically requested by Yingtian Immortal to be refined with the power of thunder!”

Lu Yang was overjoyed. With Yingtian Immortal refining the sword, and Qilin Immortal using it, it propelled the value of the sword into a straight increase.

Such a lucky find!
