Chapter 372: Has My Luck Been Too Good Lately?

[Insight]!

As the clear spiritual light fell on Lu Yang’s body, his nearly unconscious mind instantly cleared.

Guarding tranquility, reaching the extreme of emptiness…

[Sword Heart Illuminating Clarity].

The second realm of [Sword Dao], benchmarking Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones. Compared to other cultivators, it was equivalent to having an extra Innate Divine Ability. At this moment, it played a crucial role.

Of course, this alone was not enough.

More importantly—

Purple Talent · A Few Tricks Up Your Sleeve!

[A Few Tricks Up Your Sleeve: No matter how terrifying the attack you encounter, as long as it is within your capacity limit, you can handle it freely for two moves.]

As a talent granted by [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes], it didn’t need to be actively triggered. Instead, when Lu Yang encountered an attack that he normally couldn’t block but theoretically had a possibility of blocking, it would be automatically activated, allowing Lu Yang to handle it freely and gracefully for two moves.

At this moment, it took effect.

Having just cultivated [Sword Heart Illuminating Clarity], Lu Yang might have only had a one in ten thousand, or one in a hundred thousand chance to realize the danger in the crisis just now.

However, [A Few Tricks Up Your Sleeve] made it inevitable!

Gaining a sliver of respite, Lu Yang reacted extremely quickly. While [Insight]’s divine wonder acted on his body, he quickly activated another Divine Ability.

[Mind Snare]!

His consciousness connected with the sword Incarnation. The [Ming He Eternal Metal Sword] in the Incarnation’s hand shone brightly, followed by a crisp cracking sound.

In the battle with Long Yue, Lu Yang had released [Mind Snare] from the very beginning! At this moment, the entire Myriad Poison Cult Sacred Mountain was within the range of his Divine Ability. Before he had time to retract it, now activated by Lu Yang, it immediately reversed the decline, turning the situation unfavorable to him into nothingness.

Crack!

In the next second, the world before Lu Yang’s eyes shattered with a boom. But what changed his expression slightly was that this didn’t erase the reality of his true body walking into the pool.

He was still inside the [Moon Worship Pool].

He only returned to the moment he just entered. His consciousness was clear, and the eerie drowsiness hadn’t struck yet… but the crisis wasn’t resolved!

It even came faster!

The drowsiness appeared even faster than last time. Melodious whispers rang in his ears, seeming to explain the Great Dao of heaven and earth to him.

But this time, Lu Yang was prepared.

With a thought, he sealed his six senses. Under the enhancement of [Sword Heart Illuminating Clarity] , time almost stopped in his eyes, allowing him to sit quietly in his heart-mind.

This was another marvelous use of [Sword Heart Illuminating Clarity]. He could enter a space where only his own consciousness existed. While a long time passed here, only an instant passed outside. In critical moments, he could retreat here to ponder solutions, then return to the outside world to deal with things calmly.

What exactly is going on?

Divine light shone brilliantly in Lu Yang’s eyes. Although in a crisis, he became increasingly calm. His Divine Sense was like a sword, slaying all negative emotions directly.

Who is plotting against me… [Sky-shrouding]?

He began to review all his experiences since rebirth, looking for unreasonable points.

“Have I been… too lucky lately?”

It was truly a time when heaven and earth worked together with him. Whatever he did, danger turned into safety. Especially after reincarnating into the Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion, everything went smoothly without encountering the slightest difficulty.

As a result, his former caution seemed fake.

Encountering a [Moon Worship Sacred Pool] of unknown origin, he actually didn’t check carefully or survey earnestly, but ran straight in with his true body without thinking!

Is this me? This isn’t me!

“This place is nurtured by nature, and I am an Immortal Spirit body.”

Naturally, a thought surfaced in Lu Yang’s mind: “…Heaven and earth want to harm me?”

Why? Isn’t the Immortal Spirit Heaven’s most beloved child?

“Wait… I remember now.”

At this moment, when Lu Yang placed his suspicion on “Heaven and Earth,” it was like finding the corresponding key for a tightly closed door.

Did he suspect Heaven and Earth?

He did!

Back then, when he was looking for [Shen Metal] in the Ten-Thousand-Man Pit, he suspected it when he found the [Shen Metal] coincidentally falling into his hands by chance!

And then?

No “and then”… Because of a series of events after the Ten-Thousand-Man Pit , the [Mystic Spirit World Realm] and so on, I naturally ignored it!

Was there anything else besides this?

There is… Hong Yun!

Ten years ago, he fought against a Golden Core Perfected Lord and refined Hong Yun’s Golden Nature with [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes], thereby obtaining the foundation accumulated by Hong Yun over countless years of cultivation.

What immense wealth was this?

But in reality?

I didn’t use it at all. I just used Hong Yun’s Golden Nature as a shell. As for the things settled by [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes], I hardly looked at them…

Thinking of this, Lu Yang felt like falling into an ice cave, sweating profusely:

That’s right. Because Hong Yun was like the current me, also favored by Heaven and Earth. His relationship with Heaven and Earth was even closer than mine. Yet in the end, he chose to abandon this Heaven and Earth. In his memories… there is probably a part that Heaven and Earth doesn’t want me to know!

This is the [Knowledge-Perception Barrier]!

Did [Sky-shrouding] act against me secretly? No, wrong. If it were [Sky-shrouding], I wouldn’t have been able to kill Hong Yun and obtain the Golden Nature.

Then why?

Both events happened when he was dealing with [Sky-shrouding]. This feeling seemed more like the influence exerted on him by [Great Forest Wood] itself.

So to speak, as long as Heaven and Earth are willing, perhaps they can also trigger the power of the [Dao Fruit]?

Are Perfected Lords not the masters of the Heaven and Earth [Dao Fruit]!?

Thinking of this, Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief instead: No… Heaven and Earth itself must also have restrictions, unable to act against me unscrupulously.

Perhaps because Dao Lords still existed, tigers and wolves were on the side. In short, even if Heaven and Earth really wanted to deal with him, it had to go to great lengths to set traps.

The bad news was, he had already fallen for it.

Wait… still wrong. Even if it wants to deal with me, isn’t this timing too early? I haven’t cultivated the Immortal Spirit to completion yet.

I still lacking the last [You Metal].

Although Lu Yang could evolve the [You Metal] Divine Ability in advance through [Law Upholder], fake was fake. He hadn’t truly obtained [You Metal].

Therefore, his Immortal Spirit body was not yet fully accomplished.

Even if Heaven and Earth truly harbor malicious intentions towards me, it should be patient. Wait until I obtain [You Metal] and achieve great success before acting…

By now, Lu Yang understood Heaven and Earth’s thoughts.

To put it bluntly, Lu Yang played a farming game for the whole match. After finally reaching max level and full equipment, ready to have some fun, Heaven and Earth told him— you can give me the mouse now.

bastard!

This was clearly snatching the fruits of his victory!

But again, it was too early. He hadn’t obtained [You Metal] yet. Or was there some reason that forced Heaven and Earth to act in advance?

Just then—

Boom!

A loud noise suddenly interrupted Lu Yang’s thoughts, forcing him uncontrollably out of the [Sword Heart Illuminating Clarity] state. Time resumed flowing.

Severe drowsiness struck again.

However, this time, Lu Yang still easily handled the intrusion of Heaven and Earth on his consciousness through [Tribulation Wave] and [Sword Heart Illuminating Clarity].

[A Few Tricks Up Your Sleeve]!

One move just now, one move now.

In the next second, Lu Yang activated the [Mind Snare] divine wonder again, changing reality and illusion, erasing the unfavorable, pushing his state back to sobriety.

This time, the whispers echoing in his ears finally changed.

And it wasn’t just whispers, but mixed with several images. In the images, Buddha light filled the sky, reflecting a compassionate Golden Body Buddha statue.

He rode a six-tusked white elephant, a white lotus in the elephant’s mouth. Sitting cross-legged, forming a demon-subduing seal, the prajna light could eliminate all greed and filth in the world. Like a bright sun hanging in ten thousand li of clear sky, perfect and flawless, shining brilliantly, almost blinding Lu Yang’s eyes alive.

However, in the next second, numerous images melted away.

The Golden Body disappeared, the Buddha statue ceased to exist.

What entered his eyes was only a young monk with palms together and a compassionate smile. The familiar appearance brought instant realization to Lu Yang’s eyes.

Guang Ming…

Why was Heaven and Earth so urgent?

Because Guang Ming had come! To be precise, the Buddha Child had come. And what else could the Deep Bliss Pure Land’s Buddha Child be? To put it bluntly, he is the spokesperson of the World Honored One!
