Chapter 314: Sword Pavilion's Decree, Another Opportunity?
Lu Yang had long coveted the [Shared Fate Changing Fortune Record Book], this Dao Fruit treasure. After all, it was the most domineering treasure he had ever seen.
Using destiny as a brush and merit as ink, the words written on the record book would directly mobilize the power of heaven and earth to bring them to fruition.
This was already a method of a Perfected Lord, far beyond what ordinary Dao Fruit treasures could compare to. One could see how much effort Daoist Hong Yun had spent to refine it back then.
“I wonder what Fellow Daoist’s name is.”
“Yuan Tu.”
As Lu Yang’s voice fell, Hong Ju immediately extended his hand and tapped lightly on the [Shared Fate Changing Fortune Record Book]. A line of brief writing was completed almost instantly.
[Yuan Tu’s Daoist cultivation is complete; he can find Shen Metal Qi.]
The next second, Lu Yang discovered that the merit and destiny on Hong Ju plummeted abruptly, while a vague sensation arose in his own heart.
…It’s done!
Lu Yang was pleasantly surprised. Relying on the [Shared Fate Changing Fortune Record Book], he directly met the merit and destiny conditions required to find the second Heavenly Spirit or Earthly Fiend.
To be precise, Hong Ju paid this price for him. And as a Natural Immortal Spirit in this life, he didn’t have bottleneck issues in Daoist cultivation like cultivators. As long as he found the Heavenly Spirit or Earthly Fiend and integrated it into his Immortal Spirit main body, he could break through naturally.
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist.”
Lu Yang smiled with satisfaction. He didn’t break his promise either. With a thought, he used his Divine Sense to engrave the [Upper Bright Golden Lamp Jade Light] and handed it to Hong Ju.
“Don’t mention it. Just fulfilling my part.”
Hong Ju took the secret technique, scanned it briefly, and a smile appeared on his face. His expression towards Lu Yang also became much kinder. This was an honest person.
He actually didn’t turn hostile!
Thinking of this, his gaze towards Lu Yang gradually became peculiar. Divine ability brilliance began to surface on his body, and his Divine Sense locked directly onto Lu Yang.
He wanted to turn hostile.
“Fellow Daoist… have you told this method to anyone else?”
“Never.”
Lu Yang said indifferently. At the same time, divine ability brilliance also appeared on his body—two gold and one pink. A fragrant exotic scent that could overturn souls also wafted around.
[Essence of Myriad Fragrances]!
Seeing this scene, Hong Ju’s expression changed slightly, as if recalling the scene of being utterly humiliated by over a hundred Celestial Maidens in Wu You Heaven earlier.
This divine ability from Wu You Heaven was a technique of confusion. Used to the extreme, let alone living beings, even dead objects could be confused. Deployed at this moment, it was pervasive, making Hong Ju instantly harbor thoughts that this Fellow Daoist before him was quite nice and he didn’t want to hurt him…
“…Break!”
The next second, Hong Ju activated his divine ability, dispelling Lu Yang’s influence with a shout. After all, he was a Great Perfected One at Foundation Establishment Perfection.
“Divine ability bestowed by Wu You Heaven?” Hong Ju narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze grim.
His words already revealed some killing intent. However, Lu Yang looked calm: “What, does Fellow Daoist intend to keep this clone of mine here as a guest?”
Clone?
Hong Ju was stunned for a moment, then frowned, probing tentatively: “Fellow Daoist’s clone is profound. I actually couldn’t tell… I wonder what wonderful method it is?”
Lu Yang responded calmly: “[Secret Record of Immortal Fetus Experiencing the World].”
“Tsk!”
All divine ability brilliance suddenly retracted. Hong Ju’s face changed accordingly, overflowing with an enthusiastic smile: “With such a wonderful method, why didn’t Fellow Daoist say so earlier?”
Since Lu Yang could name the [Secret Record of Immortal Fetus Experiencing the World], he believed eighty percent of it. After all, if this wonderful method used a superior Spirit Treasure as an embryo, it could truly act like a normal person and walk the world in place of the main body. Even if killed, it would cause no damage to the caster’s main body.
In that case, there was no need to offend him.
Cutting the grass without digging up the roots is worse than not cutting the grass at all. Hong Ju was also a Saint Sect Perfected One. At this moment, not only did he actively show goodwill, but he also took out a Spirit Treasure and stuffed it into Lu Yang’s hand.
“A token of apology. Fellow Daoist, please don’t refuse!”
Lu Yang looked down and found that this was actually a medium-grade Spirit Treasure, glowing brightly. If a Heavenly Spirit or Earthly Fiend were integrated, it even had hope of becoming superior grade!
“Then I’ll accept it respectfully.”
“Take care, Fellow Daoist!”
Sent off enthusiastically by Hong Ju, Lu Yang walked out of the mountain forest. Then he rode an escaping light and sped away until he stopped in the clouds ten thousand miles away.
“Hmph… trying to play this game with me?”
He weighed the Spirit Treasure handed by Daoist Hong Yun’s proxy in his hand for a moment. Then he sneered and actually threw this precious treasure directly off the clouds!
After doing all this, he turned into light and left again.
Not long after Lu Yang left, Hong Ju’s figure quietly emerged, holding the Spirit Treasure he had just given to Lu Yang.
This person must be from my Saint Sect… hard to fool.
Hong Ju felt somewhat helpless. He was confident the other party couldn’t see through his methods. Discarding his Spirit Treasure like a worn shoe was purely out of caution.
There was nothing he could do about that.
If he had really discovered something, there would be room for improvement. But pure caution—this style of conduct was very hard to find flaws in.
“…Forget it.”
As his voice fell, his figure dispersed in the breeze.
Jiangnan, Hidden Sword Villa.
Lu Yang’s main body opened its eyes, showing no heartache over personally throwing away a potentially superior Spirit Treasure. He even put it behind him in the blink of an eye.
Although he actually hadn’t found any problem, nor did he know about Hong Ju secretly following and catching up afterward, this didn’t stop him from deciding in his heart that the Spirit Treasure was a ticking time bomb. Not just the Spirit Treasure, but even the clone was a ticking time bomb to him.
After all, what if someone followed the clone and found his main body?
So he had no intention of letting the clone return. Instead, he found a place to seal it, planning to reawaken it when needed.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Perfected One Xiu Xin, looking cold and aloof, walked into the secret room. The expression on her face melted like spring breeze thawing ice and snow, and her beautiful eyes also shimmered with watery light.
“Master… a letter from the Sword Pavilion.”
“Oh?”
Lu Yang raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. He looked at the flying letter spiritual book handed over by Perfected One Xiu Xin. The content was simple: summoning the Foundation Establishment cultivators under the Sword Pavilion’s rule.
The signer’s name was Vanquishing-Demon.
Lu Yang quickly dug the name out from the corner of his memory. In previous lives, this Sword Pavilion Perfected One was the one who conquered the Jiangnan Ten-Thousand-Man Pit!
So it seems—
“Is the Sword Pavilion finally going to make a move on the Ten-Thousand-Man Pit?”
Just then, Lu Yang’s heart suddenly stirred. A strange sensation came from the direction of the previously sealed clone, causing him to narrow his eyes involuntarily.
My opportunity, Shen Metal Qi…
Comparing the range sensed by the clone, Lu Yang pinched his fingers to calculate, his expression becoming increasingly peculiar: …In the direction of the Ten-Thousand-Man Pit? Is a Heavenly Spirit or Earthly Fiend condensing there?
Opportunity?
No!
Lu Yang instantly raised all his vigilance. With [Tribulation Wave] in hand, he skillfully used the [Insight] divine wonder to scan his own body.
Phew… luckily, I haven’t been deceived.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang’s initial thought of going to the Ten-Thousand-Man Pit faded instantly: No rush. Let the puppet check the situation first.
