Chapter 335: The Heavenly Gate Opens!
Behind the [Southern Heavenly Gate].
Lu Yang stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky. He saw streaks of flowing light falling towards the layers of palaces before him. Behind each streak was a Foundation Establishment Perfected One.
However, he had no mind to care about these at the moment.
Before leaving, the sudden voice transmission from [Perfected One Chong Guang] still lingered in his ears:
What a strange deal… He actually wants me to stay in the secret realm as long as possible. Why? But the payment is very generous…
Lu Yang sank his mind into his sea of consciousness.
When it came to deals, Perfected One Chong Guang had always been generous. One job, one harvest, never delaying payment. He could be called a conscientious boss.
The next second, a piece of scripture came into Lu Yang’s view.
[Grand Yin Kan Wall Scripture]!
This is not a daoist arts, nor a secret technique… but a daoist scripture specifically analyzing the essence of [Xin Metal], used specifically to increase the corresponding dao comprehension.
[Xin Metal] is the head of the five metals, the origin of the eight stones. In heaven, it is the sun and moon, the essence of Grand Yin; on earth, it is the ores of mountains and rocks… These are probably Perfected One Chong Guang’s insights into [Xin Metal] when he was a spirit of [Xin Metal], specially recorded. It is truly of great use to me now!
Because [Xin Metal] was inherently where his next step of cultivation lay.
The [Pomegranate Wood] [Dao Fruit] is [Geng Metal], [Shen Metal], [Xin Metal], [You Metal]. Which is wood residing in the land of metal, mutually restraining and taking, which is called the transformation of wood.
Lu Yang was engrossed in reading.
However, in the next second, his expression changed abruptly— “Why is it cut off!”
But soon he realized this was Perfected One Chong Guang’s safety measure, lest he take the goods and break the promise, so only half the scripture was given.
Bastard!
The remaining half was sealed by Perfected One Chong Guang. Only by staying within the [Southern Heavenly Gate] for enough time as agreed would the seal’s restriction be unlocked.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang gathered his mind and turned to look at the area he was in. What entered his eyes were ruins and broken walls.
The huge Heavenly Palace was devoid of people.
However, traces left by living people could be seen everywhere. Scratches left by swords and spears on the ramparts, footprints, and broken scattered tea sets.
Just witnessing this scene, Lu Yang could imagine a picture of the Heavenly Court at its peak prosperity. Ten thousand immortals coming to pay respects, entering from the [Southern Heavenly Gate], discussing the Dao, chatting freely, drinking tea, and playing chess in this Heavenly Palace among the clouds… It should have been an ordinary day, but it stopped abruptly in an instant.
The Saint Sect came, and another world realm fell.
The immortals of the entire Heavenly Court were swept away instantly. Even that high and mighty [Mystic Spirit World Realm] Supreme was beheaded, leaving only empty palaces.
“Perfected Lord… they truly shameless!”
After lamenting for a moment, Lu Yang took out the [Myriad Spirits Banner]. With a shake of the banner flag, Cheng Xian, who had already been transformed into a banner spirit, walked out, his face written with loyalty.
“What treasures are in this place?”
Lu Yang asked. Hearing this, the banner spirit Cheng Xian pondered briefly and said: “In the area corresponding to the [Southern Heavenly Gate], the [Heavenly Capital Palace] holds the most rare treasures.”
“[Heavenly Capital Palace]?”
“Correct. That is the Supreme’s smelting room. Inside is an Eight Trigrams Heavenly Capital Furnace, and in the furnace is a [Six Ding Divine Fire], the number one fire under heaven.”
Speaking of his family’s possessions, Cheng Xian talked with fervor: “Besides this, there is also an [Heaven Eternal Ageless Root] in the palace. It is said that as long as one carries it, they can be ageless and free from lifespan worries. Next is the [Dao Union Immortal Pill] personally refined by the Supreme in recent years.”
A full three rare treasures!
“[Six Ding Divine Fire] is unparalleled in refining weapons and pills, as well as in combat.”
“[Heaven Eternal Ageless Root], this is useless to me. What Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones worry about is never lifespan, but the disaster of Bi Wind.”
“Only the last one, [Dao Union Immortal Pill]…”
A look of desire suddenly appeared in Lu Yang’s eyes. According to Cheng Xian, after consuming this Immortal Pill, a cultivator’s comprehension could be greatly improved!
And the higher the comprehension, the better the effect!
“Such an Immortal Pill should be used by me!”
Having said that, Lu Yang didn’t rush to act but prepared to loot around other places first.
Firstly, naturally to complete the deal with Perfected One Chong Guang and stay in the [Southern Heavenly Gate] for a longer period. Secondly, harboring the thought of baiting.
“Now everyone is scattered inside the [Southern Heavenly Gate]. Dealing with them one by one is too inefficient. But as the most important place, the [Heavenly Capital Palace] will definitely be where everyone gathers in the end. Let me wait for a while. When everyone is gathered, I’ll take action and catch them all in one go!”
Lu Yang had full confidence in this.
Because just now, he had already tested it.
Even within the [Southern Heavenly Gate], he could still draw out the inexplicable mighty force hidden in the [Myriad Spirits Banner] and obtain the stature of a Great Perfected One in a short time!
Isn’t this just casual noob crushing?
…
[Southern Heavenly Gate], another location.
The Heaven-Mending Peak Master looked cold. Holding a Foundation Establishment Perfected One in his hand, without seeing him make any move, he instantly sucked the person into a mass of human dregs.
After doing all this, a flush flashed across the Heaven-Mending Peak Master’s face.
As the Heaven-Mending Peak Master, his attainments in the [Heaven-Mending True Scripture] were nearly at the peak of perfection, only one step away from reaching the highest realm of the technique.
[Heaven-Mending]!
“Heaven has leaks; I mend them with my body.”
“It is said that as long as one reaches this realm, they can align with heaven and earth, refining heaven and earth. This itself is a large-scale ritual that attracts the attention of the [Dao Fruit]!”
One could say that as long as it is cultivated, there is a foundation for Seeking Golden Core.
“This trip is important.”
“As long as I harvest enough External Qi and accumulate enough merit and fate, I can seek the next [Heavenly Spirit] and [Earthly Fiend]. There is hope to attempt charging for the Late Stage within a hundred years!”
“As for that Lu Yang…”
Thinking of this, the Heaven-Mending Peak Master sneered instantly: “He hides quite fast, but as long as he is still within this [Southern Heavenly Gate], I reckon you can’t hide for long!”
Several days later.
Although the [Southern Heavenly Gate] only encompassed a quarter of the [Mystic Spirit World Realm]’s Heavenly Court, it was still unimaginably large, equivalent to a continent.
During this period, the Sword Pavilion and the Saint Sect had clashed several times.
However, Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators like the Heaven-Mending Peak Master and Ye Guyue hadn’t taken action. Both sides still maintained a relatively delicate balance.
However, in the central area of the [Southern Heavenly Gate].
A majestic palace stood among the clouds. Terrifying Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged around it, revealing thousands of formation patterns, blocking outsiders.
It was precisely the [Heavenly Capital Palace]!
After all, it was the most valuable place within the [Southern Heavenly Gate]. Perfected Ones had found this place early on, studying the palace formations and pondering how to break in.
Over time, more and more Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered here.
Among them, they were clearly divided into two factions.
One side was led by Ye Guyue, and the other by the Heaven-Mending Peak Master. However, both were looking around at this moment, seemingly trying to find someone.
He actually not here… afraid to come?
Like the Heaven-Mending Peak Master, Ye Guyue also harbored the thought of resolving Lu Yang within the [Southern Heavenly Gate] and had been looking for his traces during this time.
But Lu Yang seemed to have dissapear from the world, nowhere to be found.
Where exactly is he hiding?
Ye Guyue frowned tightly.
However, what no one discovered was that just outside the area where everyone gathered at the [Heavenly Capital Palace], Lu Yang was leisurely drawing formation patterns.
He was setting up a formation!
Are you kidding? According to Cheng Xian, the [Heavenly Capital Palace] is the alchemy place of the [Mystic Spirit World Realm] Supreme. How could a Perfected Lord’s residence not be dangerous?
Ultimately, I have no need to enter the [Heavenly Capital Palace] at all.
Isn’t it better to directly rob the people coming out of the [Heavenly Capital Palace]? Oh no, I am righteous now; it should be called eliminating demons and defending the Dao!
