Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 502: The Disappearing Immortal Fairy

Seeing the puzzled expression on the cult leader's face, Lu Yang was even more confused.

"Immortal Fairy, the deity you Immortal Sect worship, is called Bu Yao Lian."

The cult leader frowned, "Immortal Fairy is indeed our deity, but from what you're saying, he's here with us?"

"Of course, after you resurrected Immortal Fairy, he only had a soul without a body and needed a suitable vessel. You gathered all the Foundation Establishment disciples of the Immortal Sect for a competition, and I emerged victorious. Under your guidance, I met Immortal Fairy."

"Then Immortal Fairy got beaten up in my mental space, and eldest senior sister contacted the imperial court, wiping out your entire Immortal Sect. You and a few others were turned into ghostly beings by eldest senior sister."

The more Lu Yang spoke, the deeper the cult leader's frown became. Lu Yang wouldn't lie about something like this, so either his memory was wrong, or the cult leader's memory was wrong.

The cult leader called in Liu and Gao to verify if Immortal Fairy had appeared in the world.

From the two barbecue masters to the three ghostly beings, all denied having seen Immortal Fairy.

"In my memory, gathering all the Foundation Establishment disciples of the Immortal Sect was to select young talents as reserve cadres for the sect. You did win that competition, and just as I was about to award you, the imperial court barged in and arrested all of us. Then Yun Zhi refined us into ghostly beings to atone for our sins here."

"Throughout the entire process, there was no Immortal Fairy."

"Then why did you always tell me to expand the barbecue shop, open chain stores across the continent? Wasn't that goal set by Immortal Fairy?"

The cult leader denied again, "No, it was my idea. Instead of wasting our lives here, I thought we should find a purpose. So I asked Dao Friend Lu Yang for help to expand the barbecue shop. You then found the Jiuyou Sect to help us open chain stores."

Lu Yang thought of another piece of evidence to prove Immortal Fairy's existence, "What about your Immortal Fairy statue? It used to be so vague you couldn't even tell if it was male or female. After Immortal Fairy appeared, you replaced all the statues with his true likeness, holding a book of 'Criminal Law.'"

"That's not it. One day during my meditation, I vaguely saw Immortal Fairy walking towards me, holding a book of 'Criminal Law.' He kindly told me we were doing well and that he would be born soon. When I woke up, I realized it was a divine message, so I replaced the statues."

"But before that day came, you and the imperial court raided our Immortal Sect."

Immortal Fairy often appeared at the barbecue shop, and everyone on the market street knew him, though they didn't know his identity. Lu Yang asked the neighboring shops, but they had no impression of Immortal Fairy.

Lu Yang also found some senior brothers and sisters who were regulars at the barbecue shop, and they all said they hadn't seen Immortal Fairy.

"Is there really no Immortal Fairy?" After asking around, Lu Yang began to doubt his own memory, thinking someone had implanted a false memory in him.

"Fairy, wake up, something's wrong." Lu Yang shook the sleeping Immortal Fairy awake.

After the celebration, Immortal Fairy claimed to be exhausted and mentally drained, and had been sleeping soundly in the mental space.

Lu Yang couldn't understand what could have tired her out, as she had only acted alongside him during the event.

"What is it~" Immortal Fairy mumbled, her voice trailing off.

She mustered the effort to open her eyes a sliver, glanced at Lu Yang, and then turned over to go back to sleep.

"Let me sleep a bit longer..." she said, closing her eyes again.

"Immortal Fairy is missing."

"What? The third leader is missing?"

Immortal Fairy sat up abruptly. Their Immortal lineage had three members: she was the first leader, Lu Yang was the second, and Immortal Fairy was the third. All three had half-immortal cultivation, making them extremely powerful. Now, with one missing...

It seemed their average cultivation was still half-immortal?

Maybe the third leader wasn't that important after all.

"Wait, how did he just disappear like that?"

Immortal Fairy's reaction relieved Lu Yang. It seemed his memory wasn't the problem; instead, everyone's memories of Immortal Fairy had been erased and replaced with something else.

Lu Yang explained his findings and the current investigation results in detail.

"Interesting, it sounds like a karma spell. But such a small trick is nothing to me. With my protection, you weren't affected."

"Karma spell?" Karma was obscure, and with Lu Yang's current cultivation level, he didn't need to understand it yet.

"From the moment a person is born, no, from the moment they develop a soul in the womb, they form connections with the world."

To better explain, Immortal Fairy conjured a piece of white paper and drew a circle on it.

"This circle represents you when you were just born."

She drew another circle not far from the first.

"This is someone else."

A line connected the two circles.

"After you were born, someone saw you, forming a karmic link. Similarly, when you saw them, you both formed a karmic link."

"If you're strangers, the karma is shallow. They might forget you quickly, and the karma will dissipate."

"But if you were born with divine strength and broke their leg, they wouldn't forget you, deepening the karma."

She darkened and thickened the line connecting the two circles, making it very noticeable.

"As you grow, you interact with more people, forming more karmic links with the world."

"Your childhood friends, fellow disciples, and elders in the Seek Tao Sect all have close karmic links with you."

"Some cultivators choose to live in seclusion to avoid forming too many karmic links, which can hinder cultivation."

"When everyone forgets your existence, those karmic links disappear, which is the situation the third leader is facing."

Lu Yang hadn't noticed before, but now he realized that since Immortal Fairy's arrival, he had only interacted with a few people.

Immortal Fairy first interacted with the high-level members of the Immortal Sect, then with Lu Yang, Immortal Fairy, and eldest senior sister. After that, he came to the Seek Tao Sect and interacted with the people on the market street and the disciples of the Seek Tao Sect.

By severing these interactions and replacing memories, the person would lose all connections with the world.

"Considering the third leader's cultivation and how thoroughly everyone has forgotten, the karma spell I know wouldn't achieve this. Either your era has developed a more powerful karma spell, or someone has cultivated a Dao fruit related to karma."

The second update will be at eleven o'clock.
