Chapter 255: Heavenly Demon Enters the World
Inside the quiet room, Lu Yang looked curious as he sized up the Immortal Fetus Incarnation that he had spent three months nurturing with the [Nine-Child Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword].
“Good, very good!”
Lu Yang nodded in satisfaction and slowly circulated his spiritual power. Almost simultaneously, the Immortal Fetus Incarnation in front of him also opened its eyes, and their gazes met.
Lu Yang’s sea of consciousness instantly gave birth to a wondrous sensation. His originally unified perspective abruptly split, and he was actually sizing up the surrounding environment from the perspectives of both the Immortal Fetus Incarnation and his main body at the same time. This situation occurred because he hadn’t injected his own divine sense into the Immortal Fetus Incarnation.
If he had injected divine sense, everything could be left to that strand of divine sense to drive.
Lu Yang would only need to receive information transmitted by the divine sense when necessary, without the trouble of manipulating both bodies simultaneously as he was doing now.
However, Lu Yang didn’t do that.
The reason was simple— splitting divine sense was too dangerous. One careless moment could cause the incarnation to develop self-awareness, which was something Lu Yang couldn’t tolerate.
“It’s better if I operate it personally!”
Although this meant that when using the incarnation to act, his main body had to enter a state of seclusion, he didn’t plan to wander around casually anyway.
“But just in case…”
Thinking of this, Lu Yang formed hand seals with one hand and began to inscribe on the Immortal Fetus Incarnation. Shockingly, they were dazzling restrictions!
Without exception, all these restrictions were for self-destruction. Moreover, they were designed without any consideration for a method to dispel them. This guaranteed that with just a thought from Lu Yang, the Immortal Fetus Incarnation would instantly turn to ashes without even a piece of meat remaining. This was also for insurance.
After doing all this, Lu Yang took out another item.
It was a streak of earthy-yellow qi. Just being held in Lu Yang’s hands, it emanated an indescribably heavy image, like a high mountain.
Earth Vein Qi!
This was given to him by the Treasure-Laden Youth back in the Kingdom of Qing. He had treasured it all this time, planning to take it out at a critical moment to pit an enemy hard.
“Using it now is just right!”
Lu Yang placed the Earth Vein Qi in his palm, then gathered spiritual power in his mouth and blew gently. The Earth Vein Qi instantly dispersed and merged into the Immortal Fetus Incarnation.
“After merging with this Earth Vein Qi… the current Immortal Fetus Incarnation is a self-destructing truck. Anyone who plots against me and destroys my Immortal Fetus Incarnation will be reckoned with by heaven and earth afterward! And with the tribulation-avoiding effect of the Immortal Fetus Incarnation, my own self won’t be tainted by the slightest bit of karma.”
A perfect combination!
Immediately after, Lu Yang pondered for a moment, handed the [Formless Sword] to the Immortal Fetus Incarnation, and successively took out several superior Spirit Treasures from his person.
[Mystic Cloak of Hundred Wards and Subdued Perils].
[Supreme Golden Seal of Ziwei Authority].
[Treasure Pagoda of Tranquil Clarity].
Plus the numerous spiritual treasure artifacts used to construct the [Myriad Treasures River].
Except for the four supreme treasures—[Avici Sword], [Myriad Spirits Banner], [Investigating Heaven Sphere], and [Imperial Palace Golden Seal Script Tushita True Edict]—Lu Yang gave everything else to the Immortal Fetus Incarnation.
“Now this looks like a real deal.”
Lu Yang smiled faintly, then circulated his spiritual power to interact with the Immortal Fetus Incarnation. Soon, the brilliant light of Divine Abilities on his body dissipated one by one.
Immediately after, identical brilliant light spread from around the Immortal Fetus Incarnation, instantly boosting the incarnation’s cultivation base to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment. Even the boost from the [Imperial Palace Golden Seal Script Tushita True Edict] was not left out. At a glance, it looked exactly like a Perfected One at the Perfection of the Middle Stage!
“Pity that once I cut the connection, it will immediately be reduced to a mortal.”
“If it could maintain Middle Stage Foundation Establishment combat power without my boost, that would be a truly formidable method, equivalent to creating a Perfected One out of thin air.”
But for now, it was enough.
Lu Yang nodded and didn’t go out. He simply had his main body sit on the rush cushion. The Immortal Fetus Incarnation moved around a bit on the spot, then walked out with its head held high.
“Yuan Tu has made this concubine wait quite a while!”
At Sacred Fire Cliff, Perfected One Miaoyin watched “Lu Yang” descend with escape light. She frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong but unable to say exactly what.
“I’ve made Madam wait long.”
Lu Yang chuckled lightly, then cupped his hands. “After all, it is the outer heaven, fraught with danger. I had to make extra preparations. I hope Madam won’t take offense.”
“What are you saying? How could this concubine blame you?” Perfected One Miaoyin covered her mouth and laughed softly, temporarily suppressing the doubts in her heart. Turning the subject, she reminded him, “The [Myriad Martial World Realm] we are going to this time has already nurtured a Dao Fruit, and it is very sensitive. We will become an enemy of the world as soon as we enter the realm.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Lu Yang nodded and asked curiously, “In that case, how should we enter the realm? Do we have to abandon our cultivation base and start from zero in that [Myriad Martial World Realm]?”
“How is that possible!”
Perfected One Miaoyin couldn’t help laughing. “We enter the realm to [Harvest Qi], to plunder the essence of heaven and earth to increase our dao comprehension. Abandoning our cultivation base would be putting the cart before the horse, wouldn’t it?”
“Naturally, we enter in our peak state!”
Lu Yang instantly realized. The essence of so-called [Qi Harvesting] was robbery. Since I’m here to rob, why would I follow the rules of the World Realm?
“But Fellow Daoist shouldn’t be careless. There are also powerful figures in the [Myriad Martial World Realm].”
Hearing this, Lu Yang became curious. “Oh? I wonder what kind of wondrous methods they cultivate in that [Myriad Martial World Realm]? Are there cultivators comparable to Great Perfected Ones?”
“Naturally, there are.”
Perfected One Miaoyin nodded, then shook her head. “However, the Dao Fruit of the [Myriad Martial World Realm] was born not long ago. Under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t allow Great Perfected Ones to appear. Only after we enter, out of self-preservation, will it hasten the birth of Great Perfected Ones to devise ways to encircle and suppress us.”
“…Oh?”
Perfected One Miaoyin’s words revealed something of considerable concern to Lu Yang— a Dao Fruit born not long ago doesn’t allow Great Perfected Ones to appear?
Why?
While Lu Yang pondered, he had already followed Perfected One Miaoyin to a majestic great hall. The dense and complicated array patterns inside the hall were dazzling.
“This place is named [Heaven-Reaching Hall].”
Perfected One Miaoyin explained, “Like the Refining Arts Secret Realm, it was left by the Patriarch. It is a superior True Treasure. We use this treasure to travel to the heavens beyond heavens.”
Hearing this, Lu Yang’s expression instantly turned solemn.
Nascent Soul Supreme Treasure!
Immediately after, Perfected One Miaoyin stood inside the [Heaven-Reaching Hall] and bowed with cupped hands. “Lord Tongtian, we hope you can send us to the [Myriad Martial World Realm].”
In the next second, brilliant light emerged within the hall.
Within the light, a figure hopped out. It was a handsome Daoist child, born delicate and cute, wearing a loose Daoist robe.
Holding a pen and paper in hand, his eyes flowed with brimming starlight, displaying a myriad of phenomena. There was even drool at the corner of his mouth; it seemed he had just been sound asleep and woke up with a start. He hurriedly wiped the corner of his mouth, then walked up to Perfected One Miaoyin and Lu Yang with his hands behind his back, acting all old and experienced.
“Is it you two disturbing this Ancestor’s seclusion?”
The Daoist child spoke arrogantly. One hand held the pen and paper, while the other chubby little hand stretched out and shook vigorously at the two.
What was this for?
Lu Yang was stunned. Only when he saw Perfected One Miaoyin familiarly take out a spiritual artifact and hand it over did he suddenly realize… This is asking for a bribe!
Truly worthy of the Saint Sect!
Lu Yang criticized silently in his heart, but his face remained impassive. He similarly handed over a cute-looking spiritual artifact, which instantly made the Daoist child beam with joy.
“Good, good, good! Not bad, you two are sensible!”
“[Myriad Martial World Realm], right? Let this Ancestor see… Hmm, you cultivate the Qian Heaven Primordial All-Governing Divine Method. Indeed, it is this World Realm.”
After speaking, the Daoist child waved his big hand.
In the next second, Lu Yang instantly felt the world spin, as if placed in a void. His consciousness was pulled up in an instant, sent into the sky, and then plummeted downward!
Boom!
