Chapter 680: Fairy Eternity's Cultivation Insights
```
At this moment, Lu Yang wished he possessed the art of forgetfulness, to erase all that he had witnessed.
Though he had already learned much about the shameful past of the Four Ancient Immortals, that knowledge came solely from testimonies, leaving room for rebuttal.
But now there was no room for denial, as physical evidence existed, and who's to say the Four Ancient Immortals wouldn't just destroy him along with the "Immortal Cultivation Insights"?
"I had forgotten that I originally placed the 'Immortal Cultivation Insights' here."
Fairy Eternity, bold and skilled, took the book from the shelf again, reminiscing with some fondness.
"This is quite the treasure. Back when the Yingtian Immortal and the others were imparting their teachings, I eavesdropped and wrote down the contents of their lectures."
As Eldest Senior Sister entered the Secret Realm, without restraining the actions of the two ancient venerates, they too came to the study, and upon hearing the Fairy's words, their eyes shone brightly at the sight of the "Immortal Cultivation Insights", their hearts pounding with excitement.
Oh Heavens, this book actually contains the teachings of immortals, and their insights are precious beyond measure, a priceless treasure!
However, now reduced to prisoners, they could only look on with desire, not daring to reach out and take it.
Hearing the Fairy's words, could it be that she is not the Yingtian Immortal?
Then who is she... wait, could she be the Heavenly Venerate Dou, the master of the Heavenly Court?
The two semi-immortals finally guessed the identity of Fairy Eternity, trembling in their boots.
"Is this a study?"
Eldest Senior Sister also noticed the Fairy's abode and stepped in to see a dazzling array of ancient books. How valuable ancient books are—just taking out any one of them and putting it up for auction would cause a frenzy.
"Yes, this is where this Immortal reads and studies."
Lu Yang, looking at the predominantly new books, thought that Fairy Eternity really did like books, showing reluctance even to read them.
Eldest Senior Sister noticed this too, but said nothing further.
The study contained every kind of book, from ancient customs and practices to cultivation manuals, with everything one could wish for. There was no shortage of cultivation insights from semi-immortals, including those of Zhu Tian and Jiang Lianyi.
The cultivation insights of the semi-immortals were voluntarily provided, mainly to bulk up the collection in the study; Fairy Eternity couldn't be bothered to read them.
She was, after all, the foremost Immortal of the ancient times, embarking on an unprecedented path. Why would she need to reference others' cultivation experiences?
There was even a "Culinary Bible", of course, authored by the Yingtian Immortal.
"So you were all here." Meng Jingzhou, who was exploring the Secret Realm, turned to find everyone had disappeared. Breaking into a cold sweat, he only relaxed upon seeing everyone in the study.
"How's it going? Found anything good here?" Meng Jingzhou elbowed Lu Yang.
"Yes."
Lu Yang handed the "Immortal Cultivation Insights" to Meng Jingzhou and said solemnly, "This Immortal text contains discourse and behavior of the Four Ancient Immortals, encapsulating the world and harmonizing with the Great Dao. Back then, even ancient semi-immortals and those at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage queued up to study. You better take a good look."
"There's such a treasure!" Meng Jingzhou was astonished. Lu Yang was indeed a true brother, always remembering to share the good stuff.
Meng Jingzhou flipped through a couple of pages and then returned the book to Lu Yang.
"Why aren't you looking any further?"
"It's all in ancient language; I can't understand it."
"... When there's a chance, I'll teach you the ancient script."
"Strange, where has my diary gone to?"
Fairy Eternity wandered around the study and couldn't find her diary.
"Fairy, you keep a diary too?" Lu Yang asked curiously.
"Of course, with so many amusing things to record, naturally, I would keep a diary to note them down."
```
"What does the diary say?"
Fairy Eternity looked at Lu Yang warily, "How could a diary simply be shown to others?"
Lu Yang pursed his lips, his wariness quite strong, "It probably disappeared, after all, the diary has your strong personal touch, Fairy. It's not something that can be blamed on Yingtian Immortal by changing the name. Since the mastermind behind the scenes wants to erase your existence, naturally, the diary that proves your existence would also be erased."
Fairy Eternity became furious, "Damn it, I will avenge this indignation!"
The two Venerates trembled in fear, overwhelmed by fright, always feeling that the conversation between these two contained earth-shattering ancient secrets. Could it be that they would be silenced?
"Even my cultivation experience is gone?"
Fairy Eternity equally couldn't find her cultivation experience.
"It seems that too was erased by the person behind the scenes, after all, my talent is unparalleled. If I were to attribute my cultivation experience to Yingtian Immortal, it would seem too fake, as Yingtian Immortal doesn't possess such ability!"
Lu Yang looked at Fairy Eternity with a weird expression, "You have cultivation insights, Fairy?"
"Why not? I've written a thick book of insights, detailing everything from how to have fun to how to sleep comfortably, with thorough explanations. It not only references classic doctrines but also my personal experiences."
Lu Yang thought it was just as well that this cultivation experience was lost – it was better to lose a book than to lose face.
Yet, Eldest Senior Sister actually agreed with Fairy Eternity's view, "Predecessor has the heart of a child, which is truly rare. Especially after becoming an Immortal, to still be like a child is even more extraordinary. This cultivation experience must teach people how to maintain the heart of a child. Predecessor is so noble."
Fairy Eternity, as if finding a confidante, smiled so broadly her mouth wouldn't close, "Miss Yun, you really understand!"
Then Fairy Eternity turned her head and said fiercely to Lu Yang, "Did you hear that? This is called having the heart of a child. Learn a thing or two from me in the future!"
Lu Yang: "..."
Fairy Eternity waved her hand, "Miss Yun, pack up and let's move this Secret Realm back to our Sect."
Moving it back, she could stroll leisurely within the Secret Realm.
From the Twin River to the study, everything there was hers to move back – Great Xia couldn't object on any grounds.
"Alright."
The group left the Secret Realm, and it was now night, with the forest dark as pitch.
Eldest Senior Sister extended her right hand, pressed it against a boulder, and emitted a faint glow. When she withdrew her hand, a meandering river appeared in the palm of her hand.
This was the true Universe in Palm.
"Let's go."
With the matter resolved, the group headed back to Seek Dao Sect.
As they neared their destination, the two Venerates realized the place they were headed to was Seek Dao Sect.
Was the Ancient Heavenly Court hidden within Seek Dao Sect?
Or was it the case that Seek Dao Sect was originally established by the Ancient Heavenly Court?
Whichever it was would suffice to show the ingenious methods of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
First, Eldest Senior Sister left the Twin River Secret Realm next to the kitchen of Sky Gate Mountain, then she took the two Venerates to Captive Peak.
If she had not arrived in time, these two might really have succeeded in their plans to destroy Chunjiang City – they must not be let off.
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou returned to their respective mountains.
"Miss Yun has arrived? Who did you catch this time?" the childlike sect master asked laughingly, having come to terms with it all. Being a senior as well as at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, he could not behave improperly just because a few ancient criminals were captured.
Eldest Senior Sister put the two on the ground and introduced their capture, "We caught two Semi-Immortals, one claims to be Nightmare Supreme, the other claims to be Void Venerate."
The childlike sect master covered his heart, almost unable to catch his breath.
