Chapter 173: Mahayana True Qi, Rank One Opportunity!?

“Don’t move!”

At this moment, Guang Ming appeared smiling on the surface, but in reality, he was secretly transmitting his voice to the group of Dao Integration Great Cultivators behind him, telling them absolutely not to make a move.

“Grandmaster Guang Ming.”

Mu Huan saw this and his gaze changed slightly: “With eleven of us gathered here, plus Grandmaster’s help, why waste time with this person? Better to attack directly…”

As soon as these words came out, Guang Ming’s eye twitched violently. What do you mean ‘plus Grandmaster’s help’? You idiots want to go to your deaths; don’t f***ing splash blood on this poor monk. Are eleven Dao Integration cultivators falsely holding Foundation Establishment that powerful? If a fight really breaks out, even another eleven wouldn’t be this fierce person’s opponent.

For a time, Guang Ming recalled his past experiences again.

He remembered Lu Yang’s high-spirited and invincible appearance on the Dao Seizing Battlefield, and the unwillingness of his master Arhat Fu Long when he was tricked into dying of old age by the opponent…

Thinking of this, he hurriedly continued transmitting his voice to everyone:

“It’s useless. His Life-Bound Divine Ability can move anywhere. He’ll kill one of you then escape, then kill a second one. In a prolonged battle, you will undoubtedly lose!”

“…Life-Bound Divine Ability? What is that?”

Guang Ming thought he was speaking earnestly and tirelessly, but this Dao Integration Great Cultivator’s question made his face turn purple instantly, almost choking on his breath.

Ignorant overseas natives!

But this wasn’t strange. Dao Integration Great Cultivators relied on the [Imperial Palace Golden Seal Script Tushita True Edict] to falsely hold Foundation Establishment. How could they comprehend Life-Bound Divine Abilities?

Not having comprehended, it was natural not to know.

So Guang Ming gritted his teeth, just about to explain, when he saw a Dao Integration Great Cultivator next to him suddenly take out a spiritual sword and slash towards Lu Yang without a word!

In an instant, eleven Dao Integration cultivators attacked simultaneously!

While attacking, Mu Huan didn’t forget to shout: “Grandmaster Guang Ming, why waste time engaging in polite but insincere exchanges with this thief? Act quickly; don’t let him escape!”

Guang Ming: “…”

Bastards! Want to drag me down with you!?

However, Guang Ming was also a veteran of hundreds of battles. How could he be coerced by the Immortal Alliance? Immediately looking solemn, he erupted into action, using an escape technique to flee a thousand li away.

“Great Lord spare my life! Spare my life!”

I barely managed to sit on the position of the [Fu Long Temple] relying on Master’s violent death, enjoying a heavenly lifespan of three hundred years. How can I die inexplicably overseas?

“I’m not with them!”

Such a cowardly act of clinging to life and fearing death surprised Mu Huan and the other Dao Integration Great Cultivators slightly. At the same time, they looked at Lu Yang, who stood with hands behind his back, with a bit of doubt.

Is this person truly so ferocious?

Although that was said, the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be fired. The group of Dao Integration Great Cultivators dared not stop. Instead, they urged their spiritual power wildly, sacrificing their respective spiritual treasures with full force. In an instant, spiritual light surged like a tide. Eleven spiritual treasures struck simultaneously. With no way to escape, Lu Yang’s figure was instantly submerged.

They thought this joint strike would be enough to make the opponent flustered.

Who would have thought that Lu Yang, seeing this, just pinched a hand seal. A brilliance of Divine Ability appeared behind him. With a shake and a brush, all spiritual treasures instantly lost their traces.

[Determine Intimacy and Distance]!

Such a scene instantly stunned Mu Huan and the other Dao Integration Great Cultivators on the spot. Upon careful sensing, they discovered their spiritual treasures had actually landed thousands of li away.

What kind of method is this!?

Before they could react, Lu Yang took out the Myriad Spirits Banner. The banner fluttered, instantly sending smoke rolling into the sky. Figures of Su Nü and Chen Xin’an emerged together.

“Where is Grandmaster going?”

Su Nü smiled sweetly. The [Yama Hall], covering the sky and sun, was sent by Lu Yang’s spell to Guang Ming’s side, intercepting him who still intended to escape.

“No no no, I’m just looking at the scenery here.”

Guang Ming smiled awkwardly, knowing he couldn’t escape anymore. He could only obediently stay put while racking his brains, thinking of ways to resolve the danger and escape.

However, just then.

“This is… the Myriad Spirits Banner!?”

Among the Immortal Alliance’s group of Dao Integration cultivators, the oldest and most senior Great Cultivator looked at the Myriad Spirits Banner in Lu Yang’s hand and suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

Lu Yang wasn’t surprised seeing this. Rather, he deliberately took out the Myriad Spirits Banner to see if anyone recognized it. After all, according to his speculation, this Emerald Sun Cultivation World was eighty percent likely the handiwork of Perfected One Primordial. Although Daoist Hong Yun occupied the magpie’s nest, the inheritance might not have been completely cut off.

“Stop! Everyone stop!”

Soon, that elderly Great Cultivator stopped everyone, then looked at Lu Yang with trepidation— “You obtained Perfected One Primordial’s inheritance?”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar.

Mu Huan and the other Dao Integration Great Cultivators subsequently revealed looks of disbelief, saying excitedly: “Perfected One Primordial’s inheritance? Elder Lin, are you sure you didn’t see wrong?”

“How could I see wrong.”

The Great Cultivator called Elder Lin shook his head: “Refining humans into slaves, gathering form and dispersing qi. This is the Myriad Spirits Banner. Perfected One Primordial’s inheritance is actually unbroken!”

Immediately afterward, Elder Lin looked at Lu Yang and said in a deep voice: “To be honest, the reason we made things difficult for Fellow Daoist is because our true spirits are controlled by a strange treasure. After death, our souls cannot be liberated. And that strange treasure comes from the Saint Sect. To unlock it, only a Saint Sect Perfected One has hope.”

“However, since Fellow Daoist possesses Perfected One Primordial’s inheritance, that’s a different matter.”

“If Fellow Daoist is willing to lend us a hand and unlock the restriction in our souls, then naturally there is no need for you and us to continue fighting to the death.”

“…Is that so.”

Lu Yang was noncommittal, saying calmly: “I indeed obtained Senior Primordial’s inheritance, but why should I help you? What benefits can helping you bring?”

“This is actually a secret matter of my Immortal Alliance…”

Elder Lin’s voice paused upon hearing this. Seeing this, Lu Yang immediately waved his big hand. The [Investigating Heaven Sphere] operated, and a light of Bing Fire isolated everyone from the outside world.

In this way, the karma of this place would be difficult to calculate.

Only then did Lu Yang look at Elder Lin: “Speak.”

Elder Lin cupped his hands: “Since Fellow Daoist captured Piao Miao, with Fellow Daoist’s means, presumably you already know the origin of my Immortal Alliance from Piao Miao’s mouth.”

“However, Piao Miao reached Dao Integration quite early, but her knowledge is limited to my Emerald Sun Cultivation World. She isn’t clear about some things. Only the older generation like me who has lived for more than eight hundred years can know more things…” Speaking of this, Elder Lin took out a jade plate and handed it directly to Lu Yang.

“This item was left by Perfected One Primordial.”

“When Daoist Hong Yun came in the past, he once tried to destroy it and take it away, but all efforts were futile, simply because there is great karma binding it to this place.”

“The reasons within, Fellow Daoist will know at a glance.”

Lu Yang smiled upon hearing this but didn’t take the jade plate. Instead, he glanced at Chen Xin’an beside him: “Go, receive it and see what mysteries are inside.”

For something with such unknown origins, how could he handle it personally?

What if Perfected One Xiantian’s soul was squatting inside, just waiting for someone to check with spiritual consciousness, and then seizing the body? Better let Chen Xin’an test the waters.

At Lu Yang’s command, Chen Xin’an immediately walked over, sweeping the jade plate with spiritual consciousness. Meanwhile, Lu Yang, through the connection between protector gods, watched the content of the jade plate through his perspective while holding his Divine Ability ready, prepared to cast [Distinguish Same and Different] to sever ties with Chen Xin’an at any moment.

Soon, he saw the information in the jade plate:

[Seeking Gold and dying, dying without regrets; body transforming into Dao sin, legacy benefiting descendants; hold my banner, enter my Gold Seeking Ground, refine it, and one can achive Rank One Supreme True Qi!]

“Supreme True Qi… Rank One!?”

In an instant, Lu Yang’s pupils contracted sharply… His previous guess was actually true. This Emerald Sun Cultivation World could really allow people to purify True Qi to Rank One!

Seeing this scene, Elder Lin also smiled faintly: “Perfected One Xiantian’s Gold Seeking Ground is known only to me.”

“How about it? Is Fellow Daoist willing to help now?”

Although living in the Emerald Sun Cultivation World, he wasn’t completely ignorant about the inland. He also knew how great the temptation of the so-called Rank One True Qi was to Lu Yang.

At this moment, Lu Yang was indeed moved.

Although there are no regrets in Foundation Establishment and it’s impossible to re-establish the Dao Foundation with Rank One True Qi, with the enhancement of Rank One True Qi, the Dao Foundation could generate more variations. It was even possible to add a profound mystery to the Life-Bound Divine Ability. To any Foundation Establishment Perfected One, this was a massive temptation.

For a time, Lu Yang appeared hesitant: “Let me think…”

Elder Lin was very patient. After all, he could totally afford to wait for a little time, and he also believed that after weighing the pros and cons, Lu Yang would definitely make the most correct choice.

One stick of incense, two sticks of incense…

Isn’t the wait too long?

“…Not right!!!”

In the next second, Elder Lin’s expression changed drastically. Then urging his spiritual power wildly, he broke open the precious light Lu Yang used to cover everyone and isolate karma previously.

Immediately afterward, a great formation surrounded by radiance came into everyone’s view.

Due to the cover of the precious light, the establishment of the entire formation went unnoticed by anyone. By the time they discovered it, everyone had already fallen into the formation!

“You!?” Elder Lin turned back in fury.

But where was the figure on the spot?

Lu Yang, who was just meditating with closed eyes, had moved outside the formation at some unknown time, looking at the people in the formation as if looking at a group of turtles in a jar.

Meanwhile, Guang Ming, who was far enough away not to fall into the formation, sighed upon seeing this.

How can these overseas cultivators believe the words of a Saint Sect Perfected One?

Clearly, they had not suffered enough!
