Chapter 181: Not One Family, Don't Enter One Door

As for the Immortal of Time, Lu Yang knew nothing of him save for his title, though he could deduce a few things from context.

Just as the Immortal Fairy bore the prefix of "Immortal" because her defining trait was immortality, it stood to reason that the trait of the Immortal of Time was bound to "time" itself.

The spell taught by the Immortal of Time to the Immortal Fairy, and then passed down by the Fairy to him, meant he was receiving the grace of two immortals, which was proof enough of this technique's immense power!

Moreover, time-based spells were the rarest of all magic, their scarcity surpassing even those of space and karma.

"Why did the Immortal of Time teach you this spell?" Lu Yang muttered to himself, wondering if the Fairy had poisoned the Immortal of Time into a state of delirium and tricked him into revealing it.

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

The Immortal Fairy feigned indignation: "What nonsense! With this Fairy's personal charm, is it not perfectly natural for the Immortal of Time to beg me to learn his spells!"

As expected, he was poisoned into stupidity by you.

"What actually happened?"

"Once, I was complaining to the Immortal of Time, saying that I had worked so hard to make so many nutritious dishes and invited all of you over, but none of you came, which wasted the food. I asked if he could teach me a spell to know in advance whether you would come or not. That way, I would know what to expect when preparing food."

"The Immortal of Time seemed rather reluctant. I could easily guess his thoughts—he felt that if I learned this spell, he would be out of a job. It was understandable." All in 9biqu

"Seeing his dilemma, I did not press him further to teach me."

"And then?"

"You know that I am a gentle, considerate, magnanimous, and elegant fairy." The Immortal Fairy used adjectives that had nothing to do with her.

"At that time, I very considerately expressed that since you all managed so many planets, you were too busy to find time to eat at my place, which was understandable."

"That being the case, I would reluctantly provide a home-delivery service, cooking the meals and delivering them to each of your dining tables. This way, my food would not go to waste, and you would save time."

"The Immortal of Time probably felt that this Fairy's time was also precious and should not be spent on such trivial matters, so he immediately offered to teach me 'Future Sight' so I could predict who would come and who would not."

"I said that this spell sounded quite difficult and that I shouldn't learn it, and that I should just stick to home delivery instead. The Immortal of Time very enthusiastically stated that this spell was very simple and could be learned in a flash."

"Seeing how enthusiastic the Immortal of Time was, I reluctantly learned it."

"So, you learned it?"

The Immortal Fairy nodded, wearing a proud expression: "Who do you think I am? I am the grand Immortal Fairy! There is no reason I couldn't learn it! I can predict events three days from now without a single mistake!"

Lu Yang was struck with awe; to know events three days in advance was indeed worthy of one of the five ancient immortals.

"I shall demonstrate it for you!"

As the Immortal Fairy spoke, her soul floated out of her body. A wind blowing from nowhere stirred her pale green skirt, making her look like a figure stepping out of a painting.

The Immortal Fairy raised her right hand and chanted ancient, obscure words. Accurately matching the cadence of the ancient tongue, countless golden runes appeared, drifting in all directions and vanishing into the void. When the ancient words reached a crescendo, the golden runes returned, gathering into the Immortal Fairy's eyes.

The Immortal Fairy's eyes gleamed like gold, bright and spirited.

"I see it..."

"What does the Fairy see?"

"I see that from tonight until tomorrow daytime, moderate rain turning to clear skies, fifteen to nineteen degrees, southeastern wind..."

Lu Yang: "???"

The Immortal Fairy continued: "I can also see that the day after tomorrow will turn from clear to cloudy, seventeen to twenty-four degrees..."

Seeing that the Immortal Fairy was about to continue broadcasting the day after tomorrow's weather forecast, Lu Yang hastily interrupted her.

"No, wait a moment, Fairy. Is this the Future Sight you learned?"

The Immortal of Time saw you turn out like this and still dared to let you graduate? Was he not afraid of ruining his reputation?

The Immortal Fairy spoke to Lu Yang with earnest gravity: "Your vision is too narrow. Do you think predicting what you did or what I did is the only thing that counts as Future Sight?"

"I once had the same doubts as you, and the Immortal of Time told me with earnest gravity: how is a weather forecast not a part of Future Sight?"

"If anything, a weather forecast is far more difficult than predicting human actions."

"What does the weather represent? It represents the changes of Heaven and Earth. Heaven, Earth, and Man—Man comes last, while Heaven and Earth come first. Predicting the changes of Heaven and Earth is bound to be much harder than predicting human behavior."

"My ability to predict the weather precisely proves that I have mastered this spell to its absolute peak! Even if ordinary people wanted to achieve what I have, they couldn't!"

The Immortal Fairy repeated the words the Immortal of Time had spoken to her back to Lu Yang, feeling utterly delighted with herself. The feeling of lecturing a student—ah, no, acting as a teacher—was truly wonderful.

Lu Yang suspected that the Immortal Fairy had been hoodwinked by the Immortal of Time, but since he could not beat the Immortal of Time, he did not dare to question it.

"Can you predict anything else then?"

"Only the weather."

Lu Yang was now certain the Immortal Fairy had been hoodwinked by the Immortal of Time, but he still could not beat the Immortal of Time.

The ancient era was truly cruel; immortals lacked even basic humanity, tricking even a fool. It was utterly detestable!

"Is this weather forecast of yours reliable? The Daoist Sect enjoys perpetual spring, and rain is a rarity." Lu Yang looked suspiciously at the Immortal Fairy, doubting the success rate of the spell.

"This Fairy's weather forecasts have never been wrong!"

"So you intend to teach me weather forecasting?" Lu Yang's eye twitched as he took back his initial thoughts.

This golden finger was truly useless.

"What this Fairy learned is the highest realm of Future Sight, which is predicting the weather. Although your magical talent is good, you are still a bit lacking compared to this Fairy, and you are only in the Foundation Establishment Stage. How could you possibly master it to my level?"

Lu Yang did not quite understand what the Immortal Fairy was so proud of.

"So what you are actually teaching me is normal Future Sight, it's just that you yourself ended up learning it as weather forecasting?"

"Correct."

Lu Yang felt that this was probably what they called "birds of a feather flock together."

As his own Nascent Soul, it was only natural for the Immortal Fairy to share some similarities with him.

"Are you going to learn it or not?"

"I'll learn!"

"Since you want to learn, you must start from the most basic ancient tongue. The ancient tongue is vastly different from modern language, and you won't be able to learn it in a short time. To see results quickly, you just need to learn the specific ancient phrases used when casting Future Sight."

The Immortal Fairy paused, then repeated the ancient words she had chanted moments ago.

"What does this sentence mean?" Lu Yang asked out of curiosity.

The Immortal Fairy translated: "What I just said was, 'Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, Immortal of Time, you grandson of a turtle, quickly show your divinity!'"

Lu Yang subconsciously took two steps backward, deeply afraid that the Immortal of Time might descend and crush him with a single finger.

Lu Yang felt that following the Immortal Fairy to learn spells offered no basic guarantee for survival; his eldest senior sister was still the reliable one.

"Repeat after me."

"Um, just to be safe, let me ask first. Is 'grandson of a turtle' a mandatory part of the chant?"

"That's not necessary. It's just a modal particle for emphasis. You can say it or not."
