Chapter 312: Essence of Myriad Fragrances
Wu You Heaven, above layers of cloud seas.
Perfected One Primordial sat in the air. The various emotions he had shown while interacting with Lu Yang earlier were restrained, replaced by a cold indifference.
Before him were three light screens.
In one screen was a blood-stained city, where ‘Perfected One Primordial’ was laughing maniacally while tearing a Celestial Maiden in half.
This was Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue.
In another screen, ‘Perfected One Primordial’, with a Dao Heart centered on himself, saw beautiful women as skeletons and walked out of the grand formation effortlessly.
This was Sky-Shrouding.
Perfected One Primordial wasn’t surprised seeing this. Instead, he nodded: “Worthy of being Perfected Lords. The First Tribulation is still too simple for them.”
“But they probably won’t continue.”
A Golden Core Perfected Lord could already see through the appearance of Wu You Heaven and knew it was essentially useless to a Perfected Lord, so they wouldn’t waste more time.
On the contrary, the third person…
Thinking of this, Perfected One Primordial looked at the third light screen.
“…This is true strength!”
Instantly, the corner of Perfected One Primordial’s eye twitched slightly. Compared to the methods of the first two, the ability Lu Yang displayed was what truly impressed him.
As someone who experienced it personally, Perfected One Primordial knew very well what he encountered back then. To plot against him, the Saint Sect’s Heaven-Mending Peak came out in almost full force.
Since then, every time Perfected One Primordial recalled it, he couldn’t help but imagine that if he had gritted his teeth and persisted a bit longer back then, maybe he would have been the winner.
Unexpectedly, what he failed to do, Lu Yang had now accomplished.
After sighing with emotion, Perfected One Primordial closed his eyes with some regret: “However, this person seems to have seen the trick. He probably won’t take the final step.”
“What a pity.”
Overseas, Immortal Alliance headquarters.
Lu Yang’s clone opened its eyes, clear as a bright mirror.
Lu Yang no longer dwelled on what just happened, turning instead to comprehend the technique that suddenly appeared in his mind.
[Great Void Ritual Wonder Method].
“This is the method to connect with Wu You Heaven. As long as I channel spiritual power and recite it silently three times, I can enter Wu You Heaven and attempt to break the tribulation again.”
“However, every exploration of Wu You Heaven, successful or not, will extract part of my merit and destiny, requiring time to recover.”
Thinking of this, Lu Yang looked solemn.
Immediately after, he opened his palm, and two divine ability brilliances rose instantly.
[Master of Armaments]!
[Unyielding Metal]!
Two Innate Divine Abilities revolved around Lu Yang. However, as Lu Yang’s consciousness moved, a third divine ability brilliance suddenly appeared on his body!
It was a pink brilliance. As it appeared, a fragrant exotic scent wafted out, making one unable to help but sink into it, their soul overturned. Under its illumination, even [Master of Armaments] and [Unyielding Metal] became unstable, showing a faint tendency to lose control.
This was surprisingly also a divine ability!
It was truly bestowed. This is the reward for successfully breaking the tribulation. And depending on the performance in breaking the tribulation, the divine ability obtained seems subtly different.
The divine ability he obtained was named [Essence of Myriad Fragrances].
According to the feedback from Wu You Heaven, this is the highest tier, clearly because my will was firm, and this act was something ordinary people couldn’t do.
The second-tier divine ability was called [Immovable Heart].
The lowest-tier divine ability was called [White Bone Visualization].
Three divine abilities corresponding to three methods of breaking the formation. The highest tier is undoubtedly mine, followed by guarding the heart and holding the spirit, and the lowest is killing wantonly…
The more Lu Yang comprehended, the more he sighed with emotion:
The system is rigorous, truly having the appearance of a Dao Fruit. If everyone in the world enters Wu You Heaven to break tribulations and pass trials, this Dao Fruit might really be achieved!
But…
The next second, he narrowed his eyes again: …What role does Perfected One Primordial play in this? Is he really using his life for Void Attainment of a Dao Fruit?
Leaving Wu You Heaven to aid future generations? He didn’t believe it!
As a Saint Sect Perfected One, Lu Yang never hesitated to view a person from the worst angle, so he absolutely didn’t believe Perfected One Primordial had any good intentions!
After all, everyone entering Wu You Heaven breaks the tribulation with the identity of ‘Perfected One Primordial’.
In that case, who exactly succeeds in breaking the five tribulations and ascending to the position of Perfected Lord in the end? Is it ‘Perfected One Primordial’, or the person bearing his name and identity?
Just thinking about it was terrifying.
Leaving aside whether I have the ability to break the tribulations, even if I do, I must stop at the fourth tribulation. The fifth tribulation must absolutely not be attempted, otherwise disaster is certain…
Of course, this wasn’t something to worry about now.
Lu Yang regained his composure and stopped overthinking. The benefits of Wu You Heaven were undeniable. For now, he could cultivate along with it, gaining immense improvement.
Because Wu You Heaven had another benefit.
This [Essence of Myriad Fragrances]… actually doesn’t occupy my divine ability slot!
Logically, a Foundation Establishment Perfected One could only have one Life-Bound Divine Ability and four Innate Divine Abilities in their lifetime. Each divine ability slot was crucially important.
However, the divine ability bestowed by Wu You Heaven was different. Its essence was an illusory object. When needed, it could turn from void to reality and be cast; when not needed, it would dissipate naturally, as if non-existent. If it didn’t possess real power, Lu Yang would almost think this divine ability was fake!
This method is somewhat similar to the [Law Upholder] divine wonder.
But there was a difference between the two.
Under the [Law Upholder] divine wonder, I can deduce the next divine ability in advance and break through realms… But [Essence of Myriad Fragrances] doesn’t seem to have this effect.
Normally, for a Foundation Establishment Perfected One, gaining an additional Innate Divine Ability meant a qualitative change.
However, the divine ability bestowed by Wu You Heaven was truly just a divine ability. Although it could increase combat power, it couldn’t tangibly raise one’s realm and stature.
Is it the limitation of Wu You Heaven not being perfect yet?
Or is it intentional on Perfected One Primordial’s part?
Lu Yang pondered, leaning towards the second answer. After all, a Foundation Establishment cultivator with five divine abilities but no corresponding stature was easier to deal with.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang’s main body located in Jiangnan suddenly had a thought.
Immediately after, a brand-new [Myriad Spirits Banner] appeared in his palm.
This was brought by him using [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes]. Its karma was washed clean, so it couldn’t be used to guide the Dao Sin.
“But the essence shouldn’t change.”
“What exactly is the so-called Wu You Heaven? Before being activated by the Primordial Dao Sin, it should have existed within the [Myriad Spirits Banner], only I didn’t discover it…”
Thinking of this, Lu Yang’s thoughts gradually became fervent.
“If it truly is within the [Myriad Spirits Banner], then given time, can it be used by me?”
Perfected One Primordial used this for Void Attainment of Wu You Heaven.
What about himself?
If his cultivation realm was sufficient, perhaps he could also use this for Void Attainment of a Dao Fruit!
