Chapter 306: Sky-Shrouding's Move!
Yu Suzhen, like Lu Yang, was once an outer sect disciple of the Primordial Saint Sect. She had a deep friendship with Lu Yang, and the Protector Goddess Su Nü was refined using her.
However, no matter how one looked at it, she shouldn’t be here right now!
And her cultivation…
Lu Yang’s eyes widened. Inside the Immortal Alliance headquarters, Yu Suzhen’s aura was majestic and grand. She was actually already a Dao Integration Great Cultivator of the Emerald Sun Cultivation World.
What level was this?
The Emerald Sun Cultivation World followed the teachings of Perfected One Primordial. They didn’t cultivate stature or position, only True Qi.
Although a Dao Integration Great Cultivator was theoretically still at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, the strength of their True Qi was comparable to Rank 2 True Qi.
If they borrowed the power of the [Imperial Palace Golden Seal Tushita True Edict], they could even falsely hold the power of Foundation Establishment!
If Yu Suzhen could reach this realm, Lu Yang could understand.
After all, in one of his past lives, Lu Yang had once crafted a “Child of Destiny” experience for her, and her performance during that time was breathtaking.
But the current Yu Suzhen absolutely shouldn’t appear here… and it was even more impossible for her to possess cultivation at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining level!
Because it had only been three years.
It had only been three years since his restart. To go from an ordinary outer sect disciple to a Dao Integration cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in such a short time?
Completely illogical!
Immediately after, Lu Yang saw Yu Suzhen quietly arrive at the empty hall in the Immortal Alliance headquarters where the [Imperial Palace Golden Seal Tushita True Edict] was stored.
“This should be the place…”
She looked nervous but secretly excited. With a wave of her elegant hand, she took out a banner from her sachet that Lu Yang was all too familiar with.
[Myriad Spirits Banner]!
She obtained Liu Xin’s inheritance from Perfected One Primordial? That makes sense. In that previous life, she forced Liu Xin to his death all on her own.
Lu Yang suddenly realized why Yu Suzhen had come to the Emerald Sun Cultivation World. But even so, he couldn’t explain the change in Yu Suzhen’s cultivation at all. Reaching the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in three years was simply too exaggerated. Even if he started cultivating from scratch now, he wouldn’t be that fast.
“Fellow Daoist? What happened?”
Seeing Lu Yang suddenly lower his head and remain silent, Hong Ju, who was accompanying him, looked puzzled and glanced at Yu Suzhen in the hall.
Out of habit, he pinched his fingers to calculate.
However, Hong Ju’s expression turned peculiar because he discovered he couldn’t calculate anything. The other party actually possessed a supreme treasure that concealed heavenly secrets.
What secret does this woman hold?
Wait, that banner… Perfected One Primordial?
To be cautious, Hong Ju didn’t act. Instead, he stood quietly with Lu Yang in the hall, watching Yu Suzhen holding the [Myriad Spirits Banner], pinching hand seals, and chanting mantras.
After all, one was at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment and the other at Foundation Establishment Perfection. Even if Yu Suzhen was already at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and even had means to falsely hold Foundation Establishment, the gap between the two sides was still too vast. The two of them just stood there restraining their aura, and Yu Suzhen couldn’t see them at all.
“Primordial One Qi, Seal and Edict Myriad Spirits!”
Yu Suzhen channeled her spiritual power fully and finally shook the [Myriad Spirits Banner] vigorously. The banner unfurled, manifesting a vast and boundless illusory space.
This space merged with the [Imperial Palace Golden Seal Tushita True Edict].
Almost simultaneously, the [Imperial Palace Golden Seal Tushita True Edict] suddenly erupted with infinite brilliance, revealing a blurry figure within the light.
Primordial Dao Sin!?
Seeing this scene, Lu Yang recalled the intelligence he obtained from the Primordial Dao Sin in his previous life and finally understood what Yu Suzhen was doing.
This is the backup plan left by Perfected One Primordial. Using the [Myriad Spirits Banner] to guide the Primordial Dao Sin, controlling it with the banner’s absolute authority, and then extracting the Golden Nature within the Dao Sin to cultivate the Rank 1 True Art he deduced. The plan is interlocking and seamless…
Thinking of this, Lu Yang’s pupils constricted!
According to his guess, for Yu Suzhen to reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining within three years and even cross heavy oceans to reach the Emerald Sun Cultivation World, there must be a manipulator behind the scenes.
He just didn’t know who it was before.
But now he had the answer— If he couldn’t guess who it was, it must be Sky-Shrouding!
The key is the Primordial Dao Sin… I remember Perfected One Primordial try to attain Eternal Flowing Water when Seeking Golden Core, and finally died due to the issue with Heavenly Corpse Baleful Qi and its a Chen Earth!
In the previous life, Perfected One Chong Guang failed in Seeking Golden Core, and his Dao Sin was refined into a clone by Sky-Shrouding. From then on, he gained a clone that could freely walk the world and was invincible under the Perfected Lord level. His control over the physical world instantly rose several levels. However, in this life, Perfected One Chong Guang hadn’t started Seeking Golden Core yet.
Naturally, Perfected One Chong Guang’s Dao Sin was nowhere to be found.
Before, Sky-Shrouding might not have cared. After all, his momentum was established, he was hiding behind the scenes, and he didn’t need such deep control over the physical world.
But this life is different!
In this life, he met me… an opponent he mistook for a “Fellow Daoist,” hiding behind the scenes just like him, with an unknown true identity!
Under these circumstances, how could Sky-Shrouding sit still?
Undoubtedly, he desperately needed a clone that could walk the world in his stead, and in today’s world, the Primordial Dao Sin was undoubtedly the most suitable raw material!
However, the Innate Dao Sin was trapped by Perfected One Primordial before his death using the power of the Eternal Flowing Water Dao Fruit. Unless heavenly killing intent was triggered and karma was drawn, no one could rescue it. Of course, this wouldn’t stump Sky-Shrouding, but doing so would definitely cause a huge commotion.
Sky-Shrouding didn’t want to be exposed.
That’s why he spent three years pushing karma and accelerating Yu Suzhen’s growth, all to harvest Perfected One Primordial’s Dao Sin now!
Yu Suzhen was Sky-Shrouding’s pawn!
The moment he figured everything out, Lu Yang act.
“[Imperial Mountain-Shifting Orthodox Method]!”
Lu Yang chanted mantras, pinched hand seals, and pointed the mystery—three steps in one breath. Just as Yu Suzhen turned her head in response, he pointed a finger at the center of her eyebrows.
The next second, Yu Suzhen’s entire body of spiritual power was directly suppressed by Lu Yang, and the [Myriad Spirits Banner] that was guiding the Primordial Dao Sin was also interrupted by his spell.
“…Huh?”
At this moment, let alone the suppressed Yu Suzhen, even Lu Yang, who acted decisively, froze on the spot. Clearly, he hadn’t expected to succeed.
Sky-Shrouding couldn’t see this place?
To be honest, at this step, Lu Yang thought Sky-Shrouding must be watching Yu Suzhen at all times, and his move was just a probe to see the other party’s reaction.
But the result was he succeeded.
Sky-Shrouding wasn’t there, or did he not dare to appear?
In a flash, Lu Yang’s mind raced, giving birth to a guess: Could it be… Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue has actually been secretly watching this place?
This was the only explanation.
Previously, Lu Yang connected with Perfected One Chong Guang, planning to entrap Daoist Hong Yun in the Emerald Sun Cultivation World. With Perfected One Chong Guang’s caution, he must have invited a Perfected Lord to watch nearby.
Lu Yang originally thought that since Daoist Hong Yun didn’t come and only Hong Ju arrived, Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue would lose interest and leave. But now it seemed perhaps Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue never looked away, constantly watching this place and following him, so Sky-Shrouding didn’t dare to act!
Good! This is my chance!
Lu Yang was overjoyed upon seeing this. He looked at the suppressed Yu Suzhen. He wanted to know exactly how many means Sky-Shrouding had planted on this Senior Sister Yu.
Pity, [Marionette] only works when the main body is present…
And even with falsely held Foundation Establishment, there were still some Foundation Establishment characteristics. As a “Perfected One,” Lu Yang couldn’t unscrupulously search her soul either.
It seems I can only suffer a bit more myself.
Those who achieve great things do not stick to trifles.
In a flash of thought, Lu Yang had made a decision:
Kill Yu Suzhen!
