Chapter 381: I Will Definitely Come Back!
Three months later.
Sword Pavilion, inside the seclusion chamber.
When Lu Yang moved his gaze away from the [No-Kill Sword] before him and regained his senses, a few indescribable insights had already appeared in his heart.
“I didn’t expect [Fate-Reading and Precept-Holding] to have such a wonderful use.”
This was the marvel of the [Mystic Spirit Resonance Scripture]. In order to speed up the comprehension of [Sword Intent], Lu Yang read a fate of [Natural Sword Seed] for himself.
The effect was quite good.
To obtain the [Natural Sword Seed] fate, the precept he needed to hold was named [Abstain from Weapons]. As the name suggested, from now on, he could only use swords to fight and engage in battles with others.
Once other weapons were used, the precept would be broken immediately.
After holding the precept, under the enhancement of the fate, his progress in comprehending [Sword Intent] could be called rapid. At this moment, he had obviously taken the most critical first step.
Buzz!
Lu Yang sat quietly without moving, not using any Divine Sense or spiritual power. Yet the [No-Kill Sword] in front of him still trembled. A gleam of cold light shone through as the sword edge suddenly unsheathed by half an inch. This was triggered by Lu Yang’s [Sword Heart], responding autonomously, and it also symbolized his [Sword Dao] realm.
Lu Yang nodded with satisfaction. When he could make the [No-Kill Sword] unsheathe completely, that would be when he was qualified to condense [Sword Intent].
This was a long road.
The sword is the way of sincerity, preferring to obtain it directly rather than through crooked means. It needs the nourishment of experience and emotions to gradually sprout until it blossoms and bears fruit.
The stronger the emotions, the easier it was to catalyze [Sword Intent].
In other words, most sword cultivators are paranoid people… Only with obsession in the heart, and great emotions born from obsession, can one go further on the [Sword Dao].
Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon was a typical example, terrifyingly good.
The so-called [No-Kill] was even more out of place in this world. Yet he could uphold it consistently, showing how deeply rooted this obsession was.
In the next second, Lu Yang suddenly had a thought.
Inside the [Myriad Spirits Banner], Patriarch Nether Whisper sent a message—the preparation work for refining the [Small Blessed Land] was completed. It just lacked him coming over personally to perform the refinement.
After all, although the [Small Blessed Land] lowered many hard conditions, cultivation was still the key. Without Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation, there was no way to start. And Patriarch Nether Whisper was currently still at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, so he could only help comprehend and organize the method. The final practical operation still had to be done by Lu Yang.
“Hoh.”
Consciousness drifting into the [Myriad Spirits Banner], Lu Yang instantly saw a bustling scene. Countless Banner Spirits were dividing the work and acting under Patriarch Nether Whisper’s arrangement.
The leader was impressively the Myriad Poison Cult Leader Long Yue.
This Foundation Establishment Late Stage Banner Spirit had now completely become Lu Yang’s servant, her face full of loyalty, working tirelessly and without complaint to feed and nourish him.
At the same time, she was also Lu Yang’s trump card for going to the outer heavens. After all, the sword Incarnation definitely couldn’t follow. On one hand, this Incarnation had too deep an entanglement with the Sword Pavilion. Bringing it to the outer heavens rashly, Lu Yang worried about being traced back. On the other hand, it was also to leave an anchor point.
After all, Lu Yang ultimately had to come back.
In this situation, Long Yue, as a Great Perfected One at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, was undoubtedly the best candidate for guardian. Exploring paths, triggering traps, and being cannon fodder—she was indispensable.
“Patriarch.”
Lu Yang came to Patriarch Nether Whisper’s side, only to see the Patriarch holding a thin sheet of paper, writing and drawing on it. Seeing this, Lu Yang’s eyes brightened instantly.
“Is this the result of Patriarch’s comprehension?”
“Correct.”
Patriarch Nether Whisper nodded upon hearing this. Seeing Lu Yang still sizing up the thin paper in his hand, he quickly shook his head again: “Oh, this is for me to read.”
After speaking, he took out a thick jade slip and stuffed it into Lu Yang’s chest: “This is a tutorial dedicated to you. Take it back and read it carefully. When the time comes, just follow the steps above; not a single step can be wrong. Otherwise, the entire refinement of the [Small Blessed Land] will fall short of success.”
Lu Yang fell silent upon hearing this.
With a sweep of divine sense, compared to the thin sheet of paper in Patriarch Nether Whisper’s hand, the content in this jade slip was probably enough to publish a book of a million words!
But correspondingly, the content was detailed to the extreme.
Lu Yang didn’t even need to understand; he just needed to memorize it. Therefore, although there was a lot of content, it posed no difficulty for Lu Yang.
From this, one could see to what extent his talent had worked hard during this period.
“Everything is ready.”
Soon, under Patriarch Nether Whisper’s arrangement, the project inside the [Myriad Spirits Banner] approached its end. In the central area, a golden silkworm had already turned into a cocoon.
Lu Yang stepped forward actively, beginning to mobilize his own spiritual power.
In the next second, Lu Yang felt as if he sank to the bottom of a vast ocean. While it was difficult to move an inch, a deep estrangement also arose between him and Heaven and Earth.
From all directions, immense force pressed down.
A thought arose spontaneously.
Open up!
Lu Yang exhaled deeply, mustering all his spiritual power. With [Sword Heart] forging ahead, his body expanded, head touching the sky, feet treading the ground, stretching his body to his heart’s content.
Boom!
With a loud noise, he forcibly propped open a space with spiritual power just like that. Directly above, a white fissure appeared. Rolling spiritual tides poured in from it like a bursting flood, and this space swallowed all the Spiritual Qi.
Spiritual Qi is the great one (Taiyi).
One begets two, two begets three, three begets all things… After a moment, the originally empty place now had rivers, lakes, and ranges of high mountains.
In the next second, Lu Yang had returned to the outside world.
Looking again, the cocoon formed by the [Myriad Tribulation Indestructible Gilded Silkworm] had broken open at this moment. A point of golden light transformed into a butterfly, revealing light and shadow from within.
Light of a mustard seed, yet containing the vastness of Mount Sumeru.
If one used divine sense to look carefully, impressively one could still see the scene of mountains and rivers he just opened up! It was simply like a world realm!
No, calling it a world realm is still too forced.
Essentially, it’s just a space, unable to create life, unworthy of the name world realm. But with my cultivation, this is already the limit.
With a thought, Lu Yang returned to the [Small Blessed Land] again.
As the opener of the [Small Blessed Land], Lu Yang possessed absolute control over it. Scanning with divine sense at this moment, almost no changes could hide from him.
More importantly, it had another wonderful use.
Whoosh!
As Lu Yang’s will changed, the newly opened [Small Blessed Land] actually changed its appearance at this moment. Golden light gradually outlined a human form.
Immediately after, clouds and winds in the [Small Blessed Land] turned into Qi, thunder gave voice, sun and moon became pupils, the four poles and five mountains turned into limbs and five body parts, rivers became blood flow, earth condensed into veins, fields swelled into muscles, metals, stones, vegetation all turned into skin and hair, finally reflecting a handsome face.
Flesh body reconstruction!
Lu Yang looked at his own palm. This body had no cultivation, only the stature inherent to the [Small Blessed Land] and the brute force born from it.
“Hong Yun… I truly underestimated him!”
The [Small Blessed Land] was self-sufficient, detached from the restraints of Heaven and Earth. Transforming it into a physical body before going to other world realms would make it very difficult for Heaven and Earth to trace back.
It could be said that whatever Lu Yang could think, Hong Yun also considered it when he made the arrangements back then. This runaway plan could be called perfect. The only drawback was the huge cost. And Hong Yun was unlucky for five thousand years, dying again and again, surprisingly failing to save enough materials for refinement…
Even Lu Yang was the same.
If not for having the [Myriad Tribulation Indestructible Gilded Silkworm], a rare treasure cultivated by the Myriad Poison Cult for countless years, as the core, he wouldn’t have been able to refine it at all.
Now that the [Small Blessed Land] was completed, Lu Yang hesitated no more.
From today on, this is my true body! As for the name… let’s call you [Li Hen Tian] (Heaven of Parting Regret). Leaving this broken place is also vivid and descriptive…
Lu Yang took a deep breath, then began to activate the hand seal.
The sword Incarnation will continue to stay in the Sword Pavilion, helping me observe the general trend of the world. Not asking to do much, just live as long as possible and collect intelligence for me.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang took one last look around.
Since his Foundation Establishment, this lifetime was probably his most wretched one. He had to choose to travel far away to a foreign land, and the road ahead he sought was hard to see clearly.
‘Buddha Child’ Guang Ming, Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit.
Just you wait…
Lu Yang withdrew his gaze, swallowing many emotions, his face calm as an ancient well without waves.
I will definitely come back!
