Chapter 383: Is This Really a Noob-Stomping Match?

Seven Luminaries Heaven, this was the name Lu Yang gave to this world.

Its structure was similar to the Myriad Martial World Realm, both having a round sky and square earth, a vast divine land. Out of caution, Lu Yang’s true body didn’t move, only sending out a banner spirit.

Chen Xin’an.

He also chose a very remote location, daring not to go to the center of the continent in Seven Luminaries Heaven, but selecting a small village amidst the dense mountain forests in a corner.

“This place… actually has no spiritual qi.”

Possessing Chen Xin’an’s body, Lu Yang strolled through the mountain forest, releasing divine sense to sense, only to find that this world realm actually had no spiritual qi.

This is not very friendly to Qi Refining cultivators.

In the cultivation system of the wretched place, spiritual qi support was needed until the Qi Refining Late Stage. Only at the Qi Refining Late Stage did one start to gradually produce spiritual qi oneself.

In other words, if cultivators below the Qi Refining Late Stage come here, once the spiritual power in their dantian is used up, without external spiritual qi to replenish, they will immediately become ordinary mortals! Body cultivators are even more miserable. Without spiritual power , even their tempered physique probably can’t move.

Only Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn’t mind this.

After all, once the dao foundation is built, it’s not me responding to spiritual qi, but spiritual qi responding to me. Although spiritual power will also be constantly depleted, one can be completely self-sufficient.

Whoosh.

Lu Yang performed a hand seal with one hand, lighting up a green light at his fingertip. majestic wood element spiritual power surged out, sweeping across and covering the surrounding mountain forest in an instant.

Instantly, vegetation grew wildly, trees blossomed, bore fruit, withered, and regained lushness again, as if experiencing spring, summer, autumn, and winter in an instant. Seeing this, Lu Yang nodded with satisfaction. Divine ability could still be used. This was undoubtedly good news, so he wouldn’t be without the power to protect himself.

Just then, Lu Yang raised an eyebrow suddenly.

“Hm. Someone is coming?”

In the next second, he decisively dispersed Chen Xin’an’s banner spirit body, hiding it as a mass of primordial qi, and only silently observed with divine sense.

Immediately after, an old man appeared quietly.

With his appearance, a faint smell of sandalwood suddenly drifted between heaven and earth.

He had white hair and a youthful face, a hunched back, dressed simply, with a kind and benevolent appearance. His eyes, narrowed into slits, swept across the scene created by Lu Yang.

A moment later, he frowned, somewhat puzzled:

“Where did this false zen come from?”

“Daring to use dao arts so indiscriminately, the one behind it is eighty percent likely an unruly wild god too. Sigh, ultimately leaving the jurisdiction of the City God, chaos cannot be stopped…”

The old man checked carefully again and found no abnormalities.

He left worriedly.

However, Lu Yang still didn’t show himself, but continued to maintain the state of primordial qi and waited patiently—heaven knows if the other party would pull a sudden return attack?

One day passed.

Two days passed.

Until the third day, Lu Yang carefully reassembled his body, somewhat dumbfounded: “He actually left? Doesn’t he suspect someone hiding in the dark?”

its too unprofessional, right?

Judging others by himself, if it were Lu Yang, he would definitely pretend to leave but actually squat in the dark, checking a few times every now and then to ensure there really was no one.

As a result, the other party didn’t spot him at a glance and just left directly!

Lu Yang hadn’t encountered such an honest person for a long time.

“And that person is very interesting. He actually has a stature ?”

Lu Yang stroked his chin. Although the stature wasn’t high, not even reaching Foundation Establishment, at most the intensity of a Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator who cultivated a great divine ability.

But ultimately, he had a stature .

Just based on this point, most things in the mortal world couldn’t harm him. Yet this was just a remote corner of Seven Luminaries Heaven.

Sure enough, being cautious is right.

Lu Yang took a deep breath. Although according to Hong Yun’s memory, Seven Luminaries Heaven being the retreat route he specially left for himself should theoretically have no problems.

But after all, five thousand years had passed.

Five thousand years was enough for many variables to appear. Although it was impossible to have Perfected Lords, just one Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator would be enough to make him die on the spot.

No rush, slow and steady wins the race…

Lu Yang continued forward, using divine sense to sense the sandalwood scent permeating heaven and earth. This was the trace left by the other party so blatantly.

Do cultivators of this world not know how to clear traces?

Or is it… a bait to fish me out?

Thoughts swirled in Lu Yang’s mind, but he wasn’t panicked. Anyway, it was just a banner spirit body. At worst, he would lose it. So he boldly followed the traces all the way.

Not long after, a mountain village appeared before Lu Yang’s eyes.

Inside the mountain village, bustling human voices came faintly. There were about a hundred households, but at a glance, they were all mortals; no one had cultivation.

The sandalwood trace ended here.

Lu Yang stood still on the spot and waited patiently for a moment… Still, nothing happened. No imagined traps; peaceful enough to be scary.

Lu Yang looked far into the distance and soon saw a shrine built with piled earth inside the village. It was about the size of a dog kennel. Inside, an incense burner was impressively placed, with three long incense sticks inserted, plus a few plates of melon and fruit offerings. Amidst the faint sandalwood smoke, a figure of light and shadow faintly manifested.

It was precisely that old man with white hair and a youthful face.

He was sitting properly amidst the incense fire, breathing with closed eyes. His chest rose and fell, inhaling and exhaling incense fire. The originally weak stature on his body actually improved!

About reaching the level of falsely holding Foundation Establishment…

Good heavens!

Lu Yang finally understood. No wonder this world had no spiritual qi but had similar practitioners. Turns out they don’t use spiritual qi to cultivate!

“City God? Land Deity?”

“Becoming a god through incense fire?”

Many thoughts flashed through Lu Yang’s mind. However, observing from afar made it hard to see the details clearly. To really figure it out, soul searching would be simpler and more direct.

But I can’t just charge in.

Lu Yang pondered in his heart—Land Deity, City God—sounds like cultivators with home-field advantage. If I charge over rashly, the risk is too great.

And heaven knows if the other party has other means.

It’s best to lure the snake out of the hole.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang immediately began to set up outside the village.

First, find a valley, then start setting up arrays to isolate the inside from the outside, ensuring those who enter cannot send out messages. Then set up trapping arrays, killing arrays, and add a layer of concealment array outside all arrays.

Besides that, add various talismans to assist in increasing the array power.

Then obscure the heavenly secrets.

After doing all this, Lu Yang repeated his old trick in the valley, activating spiritual power to influence the environment.

“Hm?”

What surprised Lu Yang was that almost as soon as he acted here, the old man in the shrine opened his eyes.

“Where exactly did this false zen come from!”

He flew out of the shrine exasperatedly, releasing his spiritual power aura, and then plunged headfirst into the trap carefully arranged by Lu Yang…

Huh?

For a moment, Lu Yang himself was stunned. He completely didn’t expect the other party to be so reckless.

Don’t even check?

Not worried about traps?

Don’t calculate the heavenly secrets?

In the next second, dozens of arrays activated. The old man who fell into them didn’t even hum a sound, just screamed once, rolled his eyes, and fainted.

However, Lu Yang still didn’t show himself.

He stood outside the array, manipulating the array to hit the old man a few more times from afar.

The old man was already suppressed by Lu Yang. Hit by these few strikes, his aura instantly became even more sluggish. Let alone fainting, it looked like he was breathing in more than out.

Only then did Lu Yang walk out dubiously. From far away, he created a fake body to approach the old man, then prepared to wait for the other party to rise up and ambush.

However, nothing happened.

As if the old man really fell into the trap just like that and was easily subdued by him.

“That’s it?”

I haven’t even exerted any effort yet, and you fell down?

Lu Yang blinked, a long-lost, indescribable emotion surging into his heart.

Is this really a fishpond?
