Outside the Mass Grave, in a secluded mountain forest.
A brilliant white light flashed, and over ten figures erged one after another. They were entirely inconspicuous; at a glance, they seed no different from mortals.
It was the group from the Profound Spirit Realm!
Their leader was a Celestial Immortal from the Profound Spirit Realm, the head of the Three Immortal Officials. His Daoist na was Minghua, and he was also a trusted confidant of the Profound Spirit Realm’s Supre Venerable.
Following behind him were three Earth Immortals and seven Human Immortals.
The Profound Spirit Realm was, after all, planning a hit-and-run, so they had only dispatched a third of their upper echelons. The rest remained behind to guard their ho realm.
"How far are we from the Mass Grave?"
Before Minghua Celestial Immortal could finish his sentence, a Human Immortal stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Master, the position set by the inter-realm anchor is a thousand li away."
This Human Immortal’s na was Cheng Xian.
Though he was only a Human Immortal, he was in fact Minghua Celestial Immortal’s direct disciple, and Minghua Celestial Immortal’s own Daoist Skill lineage could be traced back to the Supre Venerable of the Profound Spirit Realm.
If Minghua Celestial Immortal was the Crown Prince, then Cheng Xian was the imperial grandson.
Therefore, when he stepped forward to answer, the other three Earth Immortals had no objections. On the contrary, they each lowered their gaze and remained silent.
Seeing this, Minghua Celestial Immortal nodded inwardly, pleased with the three Earth Immortals’ deference. He then continued, "Cheng Xian did well. The Mass Grave that the Fallen Realm has beco is too large a target. If we teleported there directly and the enemy was already prepared, we would be in danger."
"The Celestial Official is wise."
The Earth Immortals finally voiced their agreent.
Having put his subordinates in their place, Minghua Celestial Immortal changed the subject. "Alright, we have only two targets this ti: the Shen tal and the traitor, Yu Shao!"
The forr is for Qi Collection, to supplent the Profound Spirit Realm.
The latter is to eliminate any future trouble. After all, the Profound Spirit Realm’s plan is a hit-and-run, so naturally, they must prevent anyone from turning collaborator and leading the enemy to them.
"Both have been marked with a Taiqing Sensing Talisman."
"If we combine our power to track them, they won’t be able to escape!"
Under Minghua Celestial Immortal’s lead, the group imdiately began performing finger techniques to sense the positions of their two targets. Soon, however, they all froze in surprise.
Minghua Celestial Immortal raised an eyebrow. "The two targets... are together?"
In his senses, the Shen tal and the traitor Yu Shao were located in the exact sa direction, in an area less than three thousand li away from them!
’A trap?’
The thought imdiately sprang into Minghua Celestial Immortal’s mind, but he quickly regained his composure. ’Even if it is a trap, so what?’
’According to the intelligence from Qi He, that so-called Stain Sect dominates the North, and its Interim Sect leader is at Foundation Establishnt Perfection. That’s about what I expected. Besides, there aren’t even many Great Truen, who are equivalent to Earth Immortals. With my strength, I can handle this completely. At worst, I can always escape.’
’Besides, I didn’t co alone this ti.’
’I didn’t get any information about Yu Shao from Qi He, which ans he didn’t join the Stain Sect. In that case, he must have joined the Sword Pavilion.’
’But with his strength, how many people could he possibly rally?’
’No matter how you look at it, with one Celestial Immortal, three Earth Immortals, and seven Human Immortals... as long as the Supre Venerable doesn’t personally intervene, the advantage in this battle is mine!’
.......
「In the South, aboard a boat.」
After being accepted by the Demon-Vanquishing Perfected, Lü Yang was given permission to find a private room on the boat for closed-door cultivation, preparing to properly digest all his recent gains.
First, he sealed the private room with an Array.
He had to ensure no one could probe with their Divine Sense, or if they did, the Array would alert him imdiately. Only then did he take out a Storage Bag.
Inside, apart from the Shen tal, were most of the assets from Master Qi He and the Secret Gallery Street he had established. Now that he had passed on, his inheritance was naturally transferred to Lü Yang. Not standing on ceremony, Lü Yang dumped everything out and then summoned a towering, ethereal form.
The Heavenly Qian Totalizing All Manifestations Dharma Body!
Profound Fire surged from the Dharma Body, which acted like a massive Pill Furnace. It began to voraciously devour the nurous Spiritual Objects Lü Yang had taken out, lting them all down without distinction.
Gradually, a feeling of being completely full washed over him.
’I’ve reached the limit...’
Lü Yang understood. His Dharma Body had reached the limit of its current stage of cultivation. To advance further, he would have to perform Qi Collection again.
’According to the description in the Qian Heaven One Yuan Supre Heavenly Divine Technique, the cultivation of the Heavenly Qian Totalizing All Manifestations Dharma Body can be divided into five steps. The first step is what I’ve just done: successfully condensing the Dharma Body. The next three steps involve refining the Dharma Body—keeping the essence and discarding the dross.’
’Second step: discard the "Dharma Body."’
’This frees it from being bound to a physical form, allowing it to rge with my true self, to coalesce and scatter at will.’
’Third step: discard "All Phenona."’
’This frees it from being bound to imagery, allowing for endless transformations and the ability to manifest all things.’
’Fourth step: discard "Totalizing."’
’This frees it from being bound to crude control. Instead, everything follows its natural course, rging with Heaven and Earth. With a single thought, Heaven and Earth will respond naturally.’
’Fifth step: discard "Qian."’
’Leaving only "Heaven" signifies that you have truly connected with the Fruit of the Ten Thousand Martial Realm, and from then on, you can pull that realm completely into the main world!’
Five rounds of Qi Collection, each one harder than the last.
The final step, in particular, would trigger a frenzied backlash from the Ten Thousand Martial Realm, sothing almost no Great Trueman at Foundation Establishnt Perfection could survive.
The difficulty of cultivating a Second-Grade Cultivation Skill was plain to see.
’For , though, it’s just a matter of restarting five tis... As for how to enter the Ten Thousand Martial Realm again... I don’t necessarily have to rely on the Stain Sect.’
’After all, I have the corresponding Qian Heaven One Yuan Supre Heavenly Divine Technique. If I handed it to the Sword Pavilion, the Sword Pavilion True Monarch could probably deduce the location of the Ten Thousand Martial Realm by following the clues. There’s an eighty percent chance he’d find it. The only problem is that doing so would undoubtedly harm the interests of the Stain Sect...’
’Wait. In this life, I’m with the Sword Pavilion, aren’t I?’
’Then there’s no problem!’
Lü Yang was completely satisfied. He glanced at the Shen tal, put it away, and then took out the Myriad-Soul Banner.
On the banner, besides Chen Xin’an, who had just awakened after devouring Gou Yue, there was another Banner Spirit: the burly man from before, Kui Gang.
’It’s ti.’
Lü Yang took a deep breath, then shattered the Banner Spirit Kui Gang. The dissipating True Spirit and Primal Qi were all used to nourish the still-slumbering Progenitor Tingyou.
’Arise! My world-shocking wisdom!’
Although the Progenitor’s original foundation was at Foundation Establishnt Perfection, he had not been restored to that level during the fifth life, so the nourishnt from a single Foundation Establishnt Banner Spirit was more than enough.
Soon, a figure materialized within the banner.
"...Hmm?"
Progenitor Tingyou appeared as an image of light. A trace of confusion flickered in his eyes, but then he seed to understand sothing. He looked at Lü Yang and couldn’t help but sigh.
"Is the deduction complete?"
"The Progenitor sees clearly."
Lü Yang nodded. After the Myriad-Soul Banner had been baptized by the Cento, the Banner Spirits subjectively rembered everything that had happened, but their perception of it had been altered.
From Progenitor Tingyou’s current perspective, everything he had experienced with Lü Yang before was rely a deduced future, not reality. This mont was the true reality. As for any inconsistencies, he naturally overlooked them; the Cento had perfectly fixed all the bugs.
"I’ve troubled you, Progenitor."
Lü Yang remained deferential, giving a respectful bow to provide plenty of emotional validation. He then took out all the various Dharma Gates he had obtained in this life.
The Void Internal Observation of Heaven and Earth True Understanding.
The Upper Bright Golden Cup Jade Light.
The Tai Xu Sacrificial Rite Secret Technique.
The first was a wondrous technique for creating a Blessed Land Cave Heaven, the second was a Secret Technique for sensing the Fruit of Lamp-Cover Fire, and the third was a Dharma Gate for connecting to the No Heaven.
All of them were Dharma Gates of extrely high quality and imnse value, yet they were also the ones Lü Yang suspected had hidden problems—problems he couldn’t find no matter how he examined them.
"...."
Looking at the three Secret Techniques in his hands, Progenitor Tingyou shot Lü Yang a helpless glance, finally shaking his head. "Fine. Let study them for a while first."
Lü Yang’s face imdiately lit up with excitent. "Thank you, Progenitor!"
’Excellent! My world-shocking wisdom is about to be put to use!’
