Chapter 132: Opening a Mountain and Establishing a Residence, Daoist Title Primordial Slaughter (Yuan Tu)!

Heaven-Mending Peak Master, just you wait!

Outside the Heaven-Connecting Cloud Sea.

A golden auspicious cloud rolled in from the sky, tilting the heavens and covering the earth, stretching for a thousand li. Only after approaching the cloud sea did it converge, transforming into a handsome young man.

Lu Yang looked in the direction of Heaven-Mending Peak almost immediately, his heart itching for action.

However, in the end, he suppressed the thought of slapping it. No rush; he had just broken through, and the Heaven-Mending Peak Master wasn’t injured like in the previous life.

“There will always be opportunities; hasty actions lead to failure. Take it slow.”

The karma of being pointed to death by a single finger in the past—he would pay it back to him sooner or later!

Retracting his gaze, Lu Yang arrived all the way at Sacred Fire Cliff.

The formation spirit he had met once before also emerged, bowing deeply to Lu Yang, and respectfully said, “Greetings, Perfected One.”

Lu Yang nodded slightly, then arrived at the palace hall where Perfected One Chong Guang was. Sitting at the head seat was a man wearing a Daoist robe, with a slender figure and not particularly handsome features, but bearing a soaring sharpness between his eyebrows. Standing attendance beside him was a young Daoist with a gloomy expression.

Perfected One Chong Guang and Perfected One Yin Shan!

Lu Yang focused his attention and looked solemn. His first glance landed on Perfected One Chong Guang, not only observing his presence in the current world but also observing his Dao Foundation in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

In the next second, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Because in his eyes, Perfected One Yin Shan was still within common reasoning. His Dao Foundation was a towering black mountain, with rolling baleful qi surrounding it like rivers in the mountain.

However, Perfected One Chong Guang was different.

When he looked, he discovered the other party standing in the Foundation Establishment Realm with his hands behind his back like an ordinary person, actually without manifesting his own Dao Foundation!

One must know that within the Foundation Establishment Realm, the [Bi Wind] never dispersed all year round. Only by staying within their Dao Foundation could Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones avoid damage to their souls. Yet Perfected One Chong Guang could openly manifest his true body. Did this mean that even the [Bi Wind] couldn’t blow away his soul?

How high was his Dao cultivation?

Thinking of this, Lu Yang’s expression became increasingly solemn.

On the contrary, after seeing Lu Yang, Perfected One Chong Guang actually revealed an amiable and brilliant smile, which instead made Lu Yang feel somewhat uncertain in his heart.

“Yuan Tu has come!”

Perfected One Chong Guang laughed loudly. Then Perfected One Yin Shan also took a step forward, cupping his hands: “Congratulations to Junior Brother for establishing the Dao Foundation and cutting off mortal ties from now on.”

“Senior Brother flatters me.”

Lu Yang returned the greeting, then looked at Perfected One Chong Guang. Returning the [Deep Abyss Convergence Diagram], he said solemnly, “Senior Uncle Chong Guang, Yuan Tu fortunately did not disgrace the mission.”

“Excellent!”

Perfected One Chong Guang took this Dao Fruit Treasure, then smiled slightly: “Yuan Tu has newly entered Foundation Establishment; I’m afraid there are some key points of Foundation Establishment you are not quite clear about.”

Finally getting to the main topic!

Lu Yang thought secretly in his heart, his expression suddenly becoming solemn: “I ask Senior Uncle for instruction.”

“Instruction is too strong a word; merely a few pointers.” Perfected One Chong Guang waved his hand. “Does Yuan Tu know exactly what the origin of the Dao Foundation you built is?”

Lu Yang nodded upon hearing this and said in a deep voice, “Disciple cultivated the Nine Transformations Dragon Art and built the [Imperial Dragon Sovereign Dao Foundation], created by the rogue cultivator Perfected One Coiled Dragon. Afterwards, Perfected One Coiled Dragon attained Nirvana in the Pure Land, transforming into Arhat Fu Long. Now he has enmity with Disciple; I fear many troubles will arise in the future…”

“For you to know these things is already extraordinary.”

Perfected One Chong Guang smiled faintly. “But what does that Arhat Fu Long count for? How could a rogue cultivator who only broke through by throwing himself into the Pure Land create a Rank 3 True Technique?”

“Senior Uncle means?”

“The essence of this Dao Foundation built by Yuan Tu was actually created by a Bodhisattva of the Pure Land pushing karma and intercepting heavenly secrets, borrowing Fu Long’s hand.”

“Only because the Pure Land has a Dao Fruit that has been hidden from the world for a long time, with no one able to attain it. Although the World Honored One incorporated it into the Pure Land, he could never truly refine it. That’s why this [Imperial Dragon Sovereign Dao Foundation] came into being—to make this hidden Dao Fruit reappear in the world.”

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. “Dao Fruits have a distinction between manifest and hidden?”

“That is natural.”

Perfected One Chong Guang chuckled and explained, “The cultivation methods in this world are all derived from the meanings taken by various Dao Lords from within the Dao Fruits.

“Therefore, every Dao Foundation built by a cultivation method actually corresponds to a Dao Fruit. When the number of Dao Foundations belonging to a Dao Fruit is sufficient, the Dao Fruit will manifest in the world, and the chance of ascending to the position and attain the fruit will be much greater. Conversely, the Dao Fruit will hide, and it will be difficult for anyone in the current world to attain it.”

After listening to Perfected One Chong Guang’s explanation, Lu Yang’s expression gradually darkened.

“No wonder the Pure Land said I have a destined affinity with them. So my Dao Foundation corresponds to a Dao Fruit in their hands. If they don’t let go, will my Great Dao be difficult to seek?”

“Indeed so.”

Perfected One Chong Guang nodded. “However, ascending to the position and attain the fruit is a matter for the future. It has no impact on your current cultivation.”

“Therefore, you can continue cultivating now.” Speaking of this, Perfected One Chong Guang looked impassioned: “If one day it truly comes to the day you ascend to the position to seek the fruit, and I have attain the Perfected Lord stature, then it won’t be hopeless. It’s nothing more than snatching a Dao Fruit from the Pure Land!”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yang’s originally dejected expression instantly lifted on the surface.

However, in his heart, he was dismissive.

We are all Saint Sect Perfected Ones; what tricks are you playing with me!

If he really intended to help, he should have reminded him long ago. In the end, isn’t this also a method of manipulating him and making him willing to serve him?

However, with this, Lu Yang felt much more at ease instead.

The Saint Sect, after all—this kind of thing was very normal. If you didn’t manipulate me at all, I would panic in my heart. Now that cards are on the table, at least I know how to deal with it.

Besides, it was just manipulation; strictly speaking, he also had room to refuse.

As for the [Imperial Dragon Sovereign Dao Foundation], although the drawbacks were indeed serious, he could restart!

If this path really didn’t work, at worst he would switch to another Dao Foundation and start over. With [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes], he could freely use trial and error!

In Perfected One Chong Guang’s view, Foundation Establishment has no regrets.

So if he wanted to attain the Golden Core fruit, he could only follow him down this one path to the dark. However, in reality, he could change his Dao path at any time!

Dao Fruit hard to attain? Just switch to another one!

Wanting to use this to manipulate him was simply a fantasy.

However, letting Perfected One Chong Guang think he could manipulate him wasn’t a bad thing.

After all, if he felt he could control him, he would definitely be willing to invest heavily. He could totally take all the benefits first, and if necessary, run away with the money later…

Thinking of this, Lu Yang instantly felt the sky was wide and the sea was open.

In the next second, he simply cupped his hands towards Perfected One Chong Guang crisply: “Yuan Tu is still young; hereafter, I ask Senior Uncle Chong Guang to look after me.”

As soon as these words came out, Perfected One Chong Guang instantly revealed a satisfied smile.

This junior understands the times and knows the way!

Thinking of this, Perfected One Chong Guang reached into his bosom and took out a jade box: “This was subdued by Perfected Lord Feixue and given to me to dispose of after returning to the sect.”

“This item has a destined affinity with you, so I’ll give it to you.”

Lu Yang took the jade box, swept it with his Divine Sense, and instantly revealed a look of pleasant surprise: “The Qi-Eating Insect King? This alien species from beyond the heavens wasn’t exterminated!”

This was an unexpected joy.

According to Patriarch Nether Whisper, the potential of the Qi-Eating Insect was extremely huge. If he could cultivate it, it would definitely be a powerful method for him in the future!

Worthy of being a Grand Perfected One at Foundation Establishment Perfection; generous in action. This is the carrot after the stick. After manipulating me, he starts investing heavily…

Thinking of this, Lu Yang hurriedly cupped his hands: “Many thanks, Senior Uncle!”

Perfected One Chong Guang naturally responded with a smile. Seeing this, Perfected One Yin Shan also gathered around. For a time, the atmosphere between the three became harmonious.

Taking this opportunity, Lu Yang didn’t forget to ask one more question: “Speaking of which, I wonder what the name of that Dao Fruit in the Pure Land is…?”

Perfected One Chong Guang didn’t intend to hide it either: “That Dao Fruit is the Heavenly Capital Jade Rampart, the Imperial Golden City. It has the form of a dragon coiling for a thousand li, the momentum of a tiger crouching in the four dimensions…”

“Its name is [City Rampart Earth].”

After a few conversations, Perfected One Chong Guang waved his sleeve robe, revealing an incense table with Daoist seals, Dharma seals, and a Daoist robe placed on it.

“Receive the Perfected Lord’s decree…”

Perfected One Chong Guang looked solemn and took out the Life Lamp that Lu Yang had ignited with his own essence blood when he joined the Saint Sect in the past.

“Today, Disciple Lu Yang has built the Dao Foundation, completed his merit and forgotten form, shedding substance and ascending…”

Under Perfected One Chong Guang’s arrangement, this Life Lamp would henceforth be placed within Sacred Fire Cliff, accepting offerings together with the Life Lamps of the various Perfected Ones in the sect.

This was not a formalistic thing but truly beneficial to cultivation. After the Life Lamp enjoyed the sect’s offerings, the sect’s merit and qi destiny would feed back to the main owner through the connection of the Life Lamp, strengthening the soul, thereby allowing the Saint Sect’s Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones to have at least ten years more lifespan than Perfected Ones from outside sects.

After the Life Lamp entered the hall, Perfected One Chong Guang pinched a hand seal again:

“…Shall open a mountain and establish a residence, Daoist Title Yuan Tu!”

As his voice fell, Lu Yang suddenly heard a loud thunderclap. Within the vast and boundless Heaven-Connecting Cloud Sea, an immortal mountain actually rose from the ground, suddenly standing tall and majestic!

From now on, this immortal mountain in the clouds was his Daoist Rite.

At the same time, the Peak Masters of the four Inner Sect peaks of the Saint Sect and many Perfected Ones also revealed their figures one after another, cupping their hands in greeting, saying in unison: “Perfected One Yuan Tu, greetings!”

Lu Yang looked around the circle and returned the greeting calmly.

As of today, he had finally taken a seat at the dining table of the Saint Sect!
