Chapter 336: Snatching Treasures Defending the Dao
Since he planned to “eliminate demons and defend the Dao”, Lu Yang naturally had to prepare thoroughly.
What he was drawing at this moment were not ordinary formation patterns, but following Cheng Xian’s guidance, he was recompleting the original formations within the [Southern Heavenly Gate].
“These formations were shattered due to the invasion of the Perfected Lords.”
“But this doesn’t mean they are weak. It’s purely because there were too many Perfected Lords, and they were shameless, ganging up on it right from the start, making it seem weak.”
“If I can complete one corner of it and control it…”
“Even if it can’t unleash its peak power, using it to trap these Initial and Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators should be more than enough!”
While setting up the formation, Lu Yang didn’t forget to urge the [Marionette], observing the situation of the [Heavenly Capital Palace] through the vision of the Ancestor of the Yun Family and Perfected One Xiu Xin.
This also made it convenient for him to modify the plan according to the situation.
Boom.
Finally, as several Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones proficient in formations broke the formation patterns, the originally sealed [Heavenly Capital Palace] suddenly wafted out a burst of fragrance.
Just this fragrance made several Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones with insufficient cultivation and dao comprehension look intoxicated. Then their faces flushed red. When they came back to their senses, they were already suffering from an excess of nourishment that their bodies couldn’t handle and forced to retreat in a sorry state. They actually didn’t even have the qualification to approach the [Heavenly Capital Palace]!
“What a strong pill fragrance!”
The Heaven-Mending Peak Master took a deep breath, feeling his spiritual power increase slightly. He also gained many insights into the techniques and divine abilities he mastered out of thin air.
“This is a pill that helps people comprehend the Dao!”
On the other side, Ye Guyue also judged the nature of the pill. Her beautiful eyes shone brightly: “This palace has karmic fate with my Sword Pavilion.”
In an instant, both of them put the matter of Lu Yang behind them.
After all, what was before their eyes was the truly important matter concerning their Dao path. Everything else could be put aside. With this thought, both quickly regained their calm and indifference.
“Lets cooperate.”
Neither of them was a fool. Knowing that a place with such heavy treasures must have heavy protection, without cooperation, obtaining the treasure would be as hard as ascending to heaven.
As for the contradiction between the Righteous and Demonic paths? To a Saint Sect Perfected One, it naturally didn’t matter. As long as there were enough benefits, any contradiction could be put down.
From the Sword Pavilion’s perspective, this wasn’t cooperation.
It was just temporarily putting aside eliminating demons and defending the Dao to obtain opportunities and increase strength. Once strength increased, eliminating demons and defending the Dao would be more assured.
After all, matters have priorities and urgencies.
Soon, both of them walked to the main gate of the [Heavenly Capital Palace]. The next second, they simultaneously reached out and pressed on the palace gate in front of them.
Boom!
Instantly, a muffled sound was heard. The Heaven-Mending Peak Master and Ye Guyue frowned simultaneously, feeling a sudden heavy pressure falling on them.
“Is this testing stature?”
Ye Guyue’s expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure because she found this was just a test without substantive killing effects.
Strange…
On the other side, the Heaven-Mending Peak Master pondered in his heart when seeing this— This Ye Guyue is indeed at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment and doesn’t have any means of falsely holding stature .
He knew about the [Heavenly Capital Palace].
After all, the Saint Sect was the first to break into the [Mystic Spirit World Realm] and had mastered a lot of intelligence on the [Mystic Spirit World Realm] beforehand. The [Heavenly Capital Palace] happened to be one of them.
That was why he deliberately pulled Ye Guyue along, wanting to test the cultivation of this famous female sword cultivator of the Sword Pavilion. But the result surprised him a bit. Not that she wasn’t strong; Ye Guyue was very strong. Being at Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Perfection and a sword cultivator, the Heaven-Mending Peak Master wasn’t one hundred percent sure he could take her down.
The problem was, she wasn’t strong enough!
I cultivated the [Heaven-Mending True Scripture] and I’m in harmony with heaven and earth. My spiritual perception is incredibly sharp. I clearly felt an inexplicable crisis here…
But if not Ye Guyue, who else could it be?
Let it be… The Great Dao is ahead. I can’t just not fight for it. This [Heavenly Capital Palace] was once a residence of the Supreme. It’s normal to have some danger.
At least this place has already been looted once by the Perfected Lords. Now that the world is divided into four, it’s both for swallowing the [Dao Fruit] completely and for raising us lower cultivators. So there definitely won’t be traps leading to certain death. The remaining ones can be considered tests left for us by the Perfected Lords!
With this thought, the Heaven-Mending Peak Master immediately made up his mind.
After all, life only happens once, and there is only one Dao path. No one under heaven can start over. If you don’t fight when you should, there will be no chance to fight in the future!
“Go!”
The next second, he rode an escaping light and entered the [Heavenly Capital Palace] directly. Ye Guyue followed closely, and other Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones were unwilling to lag behind.
The first thing that came into view was the pill furnace located in the center of the palace.
The furnace was divided into Eight Trigrams, stable and steady. Only the furnace lid was lifted. A pill overflowing with flowing light and color resided in the furnace, and the pill fragrance came precisely from this.
[Dao Union Immortal Pill]!
Borrowing the vision of the Ancestor of the Yun Family and Perfected One Xiu Xin, Lu Yang’s gaze fell on the pill at once. But soon he showed a weird expression.
Although that [Dao Union Immortal Pill] resided in the furnace, it wasn’t in the center but leaning against a corner of the furnace, looking like scrap material…
This pill furnace, could it be that it has already been robbed?
Lu Yang could almost imagine a Perfected Lord killing his way into the pill room, lifting the furnace lid, and then sweeping away all valuable pills inside.
Only one [Dao Union Immortal Pill] remained, probably useless to the Perfected Lord, so it was left behind.
It must be so! Otherwise, with the style of the Perfected Lords from all sides, even if it had only a tiny bit of utility for themselves, they would definitely take it all without leaving a single one.
Even so, in Lu Yang’s view, this was already a generous person. After all, judging others by himself, if it were him, how could he care whether these pills were useful to himself? Take them all first! Even if taken back to eat as candy beans, it was impossible to leave even a bit for the latecomers.
Crack…
Just then, a crisp sound awakened everyone present. Following the sound, what entered their eyes was surprisingly a luxuriant Spiritual Root Immortal Plant.
[Heaven Eternal Ageless Root]!
In an instant, Lu Yang felt a chill in his heart.
The reason was naturally not this spiritual root claimed to make people ageless, but the headless corpse currently leaning against the spiritual root.
The corpse had a petite figure. The neck was empty, but no blood seeped out. It wore a Daoist robe, on which a Daoist scripture was written with golden borders, every word a gem. However, the most terrifying thing was its blood-stained finger, which had written a single stroke on the ground.
Not good!
Instantly, the Heaven-Mending Peak Master and Ye Guyue felt their bodies sink. In their ears rang a shout of anger as endless as a surging river—
“[Execute]!”
Through the vision of the Ancestor of the Yun Family and Perfected One Xiu Xin, Lu Yang clearly saw the changes in the palace and patted his chest with lingering fear.
“Luckily I didn’t go!”
That headless corpse was obviously an Earth Immortal when alive, suspected to be the fire-tending daoist child of the [Mystic Spirit World Realm] Supreme, cultivating the Supreme’s Dao lineage.
This character was the same as the [True Word Technique] displayed by Cheng Xian before…
Or even a step further, transformed into [Heavenly Constitution Righteous Law]!
And an Earth Immortal comparable to a Great Perfected One, leaving such a blood character before death, must have poured all his life’s spiritual power and divine abilities into this one character.
“Although to a Perfected Lord, it is like a gentle breeze on the face, not even worth paying attention to.”
“But for Middle Stage Foundation Establishment, it is a certain kill!”
“However, he is dead after all. There is only power for one strike… and it will only target the strongest one or two present. If I went, it would definitely target me!”
Fortunately, he didn’t go.
Then the unlucky ones would be Ye Guyue and the Heaven-Mending Peak Master!
