Chapter 183: I Will Sweep Clean for You
“Senior Uncle! There are bad people inside the Saint Sect!”
At Sacred Fire Cliff, as soon as Lu Yang entered the door, he shouted loudly, his voice filled with grievance to the extreme. Perfected One Chong Guang was stunned upon first hearing it, only coming back to his senses after a good while.
“Save that act!”
Perfected One Chong Guang scolded laughingly: “The one who died is Wu Cang, not you. Yet you are the one feeling aggrieved. Do you want me to tell you what a grave crime harming a fellow sect member is?”
Lu Yang sighed with emotion in his heart seeing this. Once breaking through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, Perfected One Chong Guang’s attitude had become different. If in the previous life he still held the airs of an elder ordering people around, now he was much more affectionate. The look in his eyes when looking at Lu Yang was simply like looking at a fragrant bun (a favorite/valuable person).
But this was just right.
The more Perfected One Chong Guang showed this attitude, the more important he was to him, and the more convenient it was for Lu Yang to open his mouth like a lion (make big demands) and put forward his own needs.
With this thought, Lu Yang instantly shed tears:
“Senior Uncle doesn’t know; disciple has had a bitter time recently! After exploding the earth vein, Tribulation Qi entangled my body. I was truly plotted against without knowing…”
“Plotted against?”
As soon as these words came out, Perfected One Chong Guang instantly narrowed his eyes, immediately calculating with his fingers. Subsequently, his frown deepened: “The great web of karma shows no abnormality…”
Everything was very clear.
Wu Cang was blinded by greed, came to demand the Perfected Lord’s manuscript, and ended up being counter-killed by Lu Yang. There was no cover-up, clear and plain, without a hint of abnormality.
However… no abnormality was the biggest abnormality!
Although the Heavenly Earth killing intent left no trace, Perfected One Chong Guang didn’t need traces. He only needed to know: if Lu Yang died, who would benefit the most?
Perfected One Chong Guang pondered for a moment, then summoned the Formation Spirit: “Let Perfected One Hong Ju come see me. I have a major matter to discuss with him.”
Hearing this, the Formation Spirit shook its head: “Replying to Perfected One, Perfected One Hong Ju has already gone into seclusion.”
As soon as these words came out, Perfected One Chong Guang instantly narrowed his eyes, then laughed loudly: “Indeed there’s a ghost! Eighty percent likely it’s this old monster plotting against you in the dark!”
On the other side, Lu Yang firmly remembered the name “Hong Ju.” Is this the beast that plotted against me until I died in the previous life? Hong Ju, Hong Yun… differing by only one character. One look and you know they are birds of a feather, neither is a good thing! You wait for me; I’ve noted this grudge!
Thinking of this, Lu Yang hurriedly leaned forward and continued:
“Senior Uncle, this is killing to silence witnesses!”
“Disciple just received news previously saying Daoist Hong Yun left a backup hand overseas. I was just planning to report to you when Wu Cang came over.”
“If not for disciple’s good luck in breaking through to the Middle Stage, I’m afraid I would have perished in Wu Cang’s hands.”
“How is this silencing disciple? This is clearly wanting Senior Uncle’s life!”
For Perfected One Chong Guang, Daoist Hong Yun was a mortal enemy. So all intelligence about him was very important. Thus, upon hearing this, he immediately became serious.
“Speak in detail.”
“This matter involves a location overseas…”
Seeing this, Lu Yang didn’t conceal anything, directly stating the existence of the Emerald Sun Cultivation World and the [Imperial Palace Golden Seal Script Tushita True Edict] of the Immortal Alliance.
At first, Perfected One Chong Guang didn’t think much of it. However, when he heard the name [Imperial Palace Golden Seal Script Tushita True Edict], his originally indifferent expression changed abruptly. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of killing intent: “So that’s how it is… I was wondering why I couldn’t find that External Pill of the past.”
“He actually hid it overseas?”
For a time, Perfected One Chong Guang sat upright on the prayer mat, his fingers constantly calculating, falling into deep thought. Lu Yang said nothing, waiting quietly by the side.
Only after a long time did Perfected One Chong Guang slowly raise his head, looking at Lu Yang meaningfully.
“How did you know this news?”
Lu Yang was long prepared, looking calm: “To tell the truth, disciple once obtained Perfected One Primordial’s inheritance. Everything was recorded by him before death.”
“Perfected One Primordial?”
Perfected One Chong Guang was stunned upon hearing this. Then he calculated for a moment and shook his head: “This person was a figure from five thousand years ago and wasn’t on good terms with my Saint Sect.”
This was the first time Lu Yang heard relevant news about Perfected One Primordial. He asked curiously: “Disciple only knows this person was a rogue cultivator. Could it be he had other backgrounds?”
“No, he was a rogue cultivator, but he didn’t need other backgrounds.” Perfected One Chong Guang shook his head, a touch of admiration appearing in his eyes: “This person was born from the tribulation luck generated in the previous millennial great tribulation. His natural talent was outstanding. Although a rogue cultivator, he didn’t lose in the slightest to the true legacy of great sects.”
“In that great tribulation, he had hope to ascend to the position.”
“It’s just a pity that this person’s character was upright and outspoken, and being born of tribulation luck, he was disliked by the various Perfected Lords. Therefore, they deliberately induced him to build his Dao Foundation with a Rank Four cultivation method.”
“Thus, his path of ascension was cut off.”
“Since then, he faded into the crowd, his whereabouts unknown. Near the end of the great tribulation, the Perfected Lords deduced the heavenly secrets and learned he left behind an inheritance.”
“However, unbeknownst to what means he used, the Perfected Lords couldn’t calculate specific information. Simply, they bound the karma of that inheritance to the Saint Sect. In this way, no matter what inheritance he left, it would inevitably fall into the hands of Saint Sect disciples eventually. It can be considered making the best use of things and talents.”
After speaking, Perfected One Chong Guang specifically glanced at Lu Yang.
“As the cross-generation disciple of Perfected One Ting You of the Shaman-Ghost Dao, and also obtaining Perfected One Primordial’s inheritance, the depth of your qi luck has already surpassed many Perfected Ones.”
“Senior Uncle overpraises.”
Lu Yang bowed, actively changing the topic: “Senior Uncle, if my expectation is not wrong, the Emerald Sun Cultivation World is probably Perfected One Primordial’s Gold Seeking Ground.”
“This person failed to Seek Gold, leaving endless disasters…”
“You mean Dao Sin, right.”
Perfected One Chong Guang nodded: “No matter. A Dao Sin, plus the [Imperial Palace Golden Seal Script Tushita True Edict], are already enough for the Saint Sect to mobilize some forces.”
Lu Yang was stunned upon hearing this. Let the Saint Sect mobilize forces?
Seeing this scene, Perfected One Chong Guang also revealed a strange expression: “What, could it be you still want me to go overseas with you?”
“You said it yourself; there is very likely a Dao Sin transformed from a cultivator who failed to Seek Gold there.”
“Why should I risk going there?”
As his voice fell, Perfected One Chong Guang paced out of the grand hall. Then summoning the Formation Spirit, he said calmly: “Report this matter to Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue.”
The Formation Spirit responded and left.
Not long after, Lu Yang suddenly raised his head, feeling as if a gaze from the sky fell on his body, dissecting him completely one by one.
…Perfected Lord!?
The gaze lasted for a period of time before dissipating.
Immediately afterward, the Formation Spirit on Sacred Fire Cliff reappeared, walking over holding a sheet of talisman paper with both hands. The talisman paper looked light and thin but seemed to carry the weight of a thousand jin.
What was heavy was naturally not the paper, but the handwriting on it.
Then Perfected One Chong Guang looked solemn, similarly raising both hands to receive that talisman paper. After glancing at it, he passed it to Lu Yang.
“Your luck is not bad.”
Lu Yang took the talisman paper and looked intently:
[You bear great karma from the Pure Land and are entangled by Heavenly Earth killing intent, both wanting you to die overseas. While staying in the Cloud Sea ensures safety, it is akin to dried bones in a grave. Moreover, if karma is not eliminated, over time it will accumulate until hard to reverse.]
[Hold my manuscript and take a trip overseas.]
[I will sweep the path for you]
