Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 182: Chapter 181: Not Family, No Entry_1

For the Time Immortal, what Lu Yang knew of was merely his title, with the rest being a mystery. However, he could still conjecture a bit.

Just as Fairy Eternity has “Eternity” as her prefix, her characteristic being immortality, it could be inferred by the same token that Time Immortal’s characteristic is related to “time.”

The magic skill passed down to Fairy Eternity from Time Immortal, and then from her to himself, was tantamount to acquiring blessings from two immortals—a testament to the strength of this particular magic skill!

Furthermore, time-related magic skills are the rarest among all, surpassing those related to space and causality in terms of scarcity.

“Why would Time Immortal teach you this magic skill?” Lu Yang asked. It couldn’t be that you tricked him into telling you while he was delirious, could it?

The more Lu Yang thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

Fairy Eternity feigned anger, “Why, isn’t it normal that Time Immortal begged me to learn the magic skill, owing to my charm and personality?”

You must have tricked him into it when he was off his guard.

“What’s the real story, then?”

“Once I complained to Time Immortal that I’d painstakingly prepared all this nutritious food to invite you guys, but no one ever came over, wasting all the food. I asked if he could teach me a magic skill that would allow me to anticipate people’s actions so I could prepare meals accordingly.”

“Time Immortal seemed somewhat unwilling. I guessed it was because he felt that if I learned this kind of skill, he would lose his job. Fair enough.”

“Out of consideration, I didn’t push him further.”

“Then, what happened?”

“Well, you know I’m a gentle, considerate, generous, and refined fairy,” Fairy Eternity said, using adjectives that didn’t seem to apply to her at all.

“Being the considerate person I am, I acknowledged that you guys have many planets to take care of and wouldn’t necessarily have time to come over for meals.”

“So, I offered to provide delivery service. I would do all the cooking and deliver one meal at a time to your tables. This way, the food I prepared would not go to waste, and you guys could save time.”

“Probably realizing that my time was also precious and shouldn’t be wasted on such trifles, Time Immortal then offered to teach me the skill of ‘Forecasting the Future,’ which would allow me to anticipate who would come and who wouldn’t.”

“I told him that magic skill sounded tough, and I’d rather keep delivering the food. Time Immortal, however, insisted that the skill was very easy to learn.”

“Seeing his enthusiasm, I reluctantly agreed to learn it.”

“Did you manage to learn it?”

With a look of pride, Fairy Eternity nodded, “Who do you think I am? I’m the grand Fairy! Could it be that I couldn’t learn a certain magic skill? I can predict events three days in the future with no deviations!”

Lu Yang regarded her with newfound respect. Being able to foresee events three days in the future was indeed worthy of one of the Five Immortals of the Ancients.

“Let me demonstrate for you!”

As she spoke, Fairy Eternity’s spirit floated out of her body. A gentle wind blew, stirring her light cyan dress, making her seem as if she had stepped out of a painting.

Fairy Eternity raised her right hand, mumbling in the ancient and hard-to- understand language of the Ancients. Along with her incantation, countless golden runes emerged, dispersed in all directions, disappearing into the void. When her incantation reached a crescendo, the golden runes returned and gathered in her eyes.

Fairy Eternity’s eyes glowed with golden brilliance.

“lean see…”

“What do you see, fairy?”

“I can see that from tonight to tomorrow, it will turn from intermediate rain to clear weather, fifteen to nineteen degrees, with southeast wind…”

Lu Yang: “???”

Fairy Eternity continued, “I can also find out that the day after tomorrow, it will turn from sunny to cloudy, seventeen to twenty-four degrees…”

Seeing Fairy Eternity continue to present weather forecasts for the day after tomorrow, Lu Yang hurriedly interrupted.

“Wait a minute. Is that all you’ve learned about future forecasting?”

Wouldn’t Time Immortal worry about tarnishing his reputation if he knew his disciple had learned it this way?

Fairy Eternity spoke to Lu Yang with deep earnestness, “Your perception is too narrow. Is predicting what you’ve done or what I’ve done the only definition of forecasting the future?”

“I, too, once had the same doubts as you. Time Immortal told me with great emphasis that weather forecasting is part of predicting the future.”

“It can even be said that weather forecasting is even more difficult than predicting people’s actions.”

“What does weather represent? It represents the changes in the heavens and earth. Between Heaven, Earth, and Man, Man is the last, while Heaven and Earth come first. Predicting the changes in heaven and earth is undoubtedly more difficult than predicting human behavior.”

“My prediction of the weather is just proof that I have mastered the skill! Ordinary people, even if they want to do what I do, wouldn’t be able to!”

Fairy Eternity relayed again what Time Immortal had said to her to Lu Yang, feeling extremely pleased inside. The feeling of teaching students—no, being a teacher—was pretty great.

Lu Yang suspected that Fairy Eternity had been tricked by Time Immortal, but he dared not question Time Immortal since he was no match for him.

“Can you predict anything else?”

“Only the weather.”

Lu Yang was more convinced that Fairy Eternity had been tricked by Time Immortal, but he was no match for Time Immortal.

The ancient times were so cruel. The immortals didn’t have the basic human decency not to trick fools. So outrageous!

“Is your weather forecast reliable? Seek Dao Sect has spring all year round with rare rainfall,” Lu Yang asked skeptically, doubting the success rate of the magic skill.

“My weather forecast is never wrong!”

“So, you’re teaching me to predict the weather?” Lu Yang gave a twitching look from the corner of his eyes, retracting his initial thoughts.

This golden finger is indeed useless.

“What I learned is the highest realm of predicting the future, forecasting the weather, while what I’m going to teach you is the normal predicting of the future. Although your magic talent is good, it’s not up to par with mine, and you’re only at the Foundation Establishment stage. How could you possibly learn from me?”

Lu Yang was not quite sure what Fairy Eternity was proud of.

“So, you are teaching me normal future forecasting, and you learned weather forecasting yourself?”

“Correct.”

Lu Yang felt that this was a classic case of different people having different pathways.

It would be normal for Fairy Eternity, his Nascent Soul, to possess some traits similar to his.

“Are you going to learn?”

“Yes!”

“If you want to learn, then you must start with the basics – the language of the Ancients. There is a substantial difference between the ancient languages and the current language, and you won’t be able to learn it in a short time. So for the sake of gaining quick results, you can simply learn the ancient language used during the casting of the Forecasting the Future skill.”

Fairy Eternity paused, and repeated the ancient language she had used earlier.

“What does that line mean?” Lu Yang asked out of curiosity.

Fairy Eternity translated, “The sentence I said just now translates to, ‘0 divine Spirits of the sky and earth, you tortoise grandson Time Immortal, make your presence known!”‘

Lu Yang instinctively stepped back two places, fearing that Time Immortal might appear out of nowhere and squash him with a finger.

Lu Yang felt that learning magic skills from Fairy Eternity could even threaten basic survival. Eldest Senior Sister was more reliable.

“Repeat after me.”

“Hmm, just to be safe, I want to verify – is it absolutely necessary to pronounce ‘tortoise grandson’?”

“Actually, that’s just an auxiliary word, you can say it or not,
