While they were talking, a fragrant aroma rose from the teapot in the woman's hand, making Lü Yang feel a wave of indescribable comfort surging through his entire body just by smelling it.
"Alright."
The next second, the [True Lord Zeng Cai Qi Luo] stopped shaking the teapot in her hand.
Cloud mist gathered before Lü Yang, forming a teacup.
She then filled the cup with tea.
Lü Yang glanced at it and saw that the tea inside shimmered with a blue-purple hue, flickering with specks of light.
"Drink it."
The woman calmly watched Lü Yang without giving any explanation.
The blue-purple tea looked incredibly strange, as if something suspicious had been added to it.
However, Lü Yang did not hesitate in the slightest.
"Thank you, True Lord!"
Gewoon een lepeltje voor het slapengaan. - 7 kg in 7 dagenOpen
He lifted the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
His decisiveness and speed made the woman raise her embroidered eyebrows slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.
He didn't hesitate at all?
Is he truly this loyal?
"Looks like I've been overly suspicious."
The woman smiled with satisfaction, then stood up with a wave of her sleeve and silently disappeared from the spot.
Within the tea pavilion formed by the gathering cloud mist, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowed in naturally.
Moreover, all of it was wood-type spiritual energy, creating an environment perfectly suited for comprehending the wood element.
Lü Yang sat within it, his eyes closed, feeling as though his very soul was being strengthened by the infusion of that cup of tea.
Only after a long time did he slowly open his eyes.
The growth of a Foundation Establishment True Person's cultivation was completely different from Qi Refining.
Most of the time, there was no risk of running out of spiritual power.
The true transformation lay in the growth of innate divine abilities.
Besides that, Dao comprehension took precedence.
At the same cultivation realm, the depth of Dao comprehension directly determined one's level in combat.
So-called Dao comprehension referred to the Foundation Establishment True Person's understanding of their own Dao.
The higher the Dao comprehension, the easier it was to absorb the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends, accelerating cultivation progress.
If the Dao comprehension was too low, one wouldn't even be able to locate them, let alone absorb them.
Yet, Dao comprehension was based on one's experience of heaven and earth, not on tangible objects.
Thus, improving it felt illusory and hard to grasp.
"This is truly the means of a True Lord."
If not for being a True Lord, it would have been impossible to refine the [Immortal Tree] into a Dao-comprehension enhancing elixir.
And even so, it had to match his attribute to be effective.
After all, the Earthly Fiend he intended to cultivate next was [Yin Wood].
Coincidentally, it corresponded to the same Yang Wood attribute as the Heavenly Star [Jia Wood].
The two shared a mysterious connection, allowing him to use one to refine the other.
Otherwise, even a True Lord could not accomplish something without the necessary resources.
"Yang Wood…"
Lü Yang muttered softly, clarity flashing in his eyes.
He then opened his palm, and the [Imperial Mansion Golden Seal Dou Shuai True Edict] appeared in his hand.
The half-true treasure rotated slightly, immediately transforming into the form of a brilliant divine ability, none other than [Star Concealment Radiance].
However, in the next moment, as Lü Yang's thoughts shifted, the original [Star Concealment Radiance] gradually changed form.
In the end, it transformed into a mass of white light resting in his palm.
"My previous understanding of [Yin Wood] was still too shallow."
Lü Yang sighed and said, "Although [Star Concealment Radiance] is also related to [Yin Wood], it incorporates the Heavenly Star [Ding Fire], which actually mismatches with [City Wall Earth]."
"[Star Concealment Radiance] conceals cause and effect and hides one's presence, a technique fit for assassins and solitary practitioners."
"Whereas [City Wall Earth] once represented a manifest rank within the ancient Dao Court."
"The Dao Court held the authority of heaven and earth, building the empire of the Son of Heaven."
"How could a Son of Heaven practice the secret arts of assassins and solitary wanderers?"
"Yin corresponds to Gen, Gen represents a mountain, and a mountain is solid earth, which aligns with the Heavenly Star [Wu Earth]."
"Thus, my [Upholding the Mountain] was formed by the union of [Wu Earth] and the Earthly Fiend [Yin Wood]."
"My next innate divine ability should likewise be compatible with it."
"Therefore, what I seek from [Yin Wood] should harmonize with the Heavenly Star [Ji Earth]."
"Only in this way can [Wu Earth] integrate with [Yin Wood], and [Yin Wood] again with [Ji Earth], stringing together my entire Dao path without chaos."
This was the purpose of Dao comprehension.
If Lü Yang's Dao comprehension had been insufficient, and he had misunderstood the direction, continuing to seek the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends with [Star Concealment Radiance] would have wasted centuries in vain.
At the same time, this also demonstrated the profound mystery of the [Imperial Mansion Golden Seal Dou Shuai True Edict].
It allowed one to simulate innate divine abilities in advance.
As long as the direction was correct, it helped to trial and error beforehand.
At this moment, under Lü Yang's manipulation, this half-true treasure immediately radiated divine brilliance different from before.
"I shall name it—[Lost Magnetic Union]!"
Lü Yang gazed at the brand new innate divine ability in his palm, feeling it suited him even more than [Star Concealment Radiance], and it was much smoother to wield.
"Yin represents Yang Wood, and wood generates fire."
"[Yin Wood] dwelling in [Ji Earth] symbolizes wood and fire sharing authority."
"It tempers Ji Earth, transforming it into a magnetic stone, disrupting the balance of pure and impure energies, causing the Three Talents of Heaven, Earth, and Man to fall into disorder."
In simple terms, [Lost Magnetic Union] could produce a divine light called [Primordial Magnetic Separation and Union Divine Light].
It specifically disrupted divine abilities and magical treasures, making them lose control and backfire on their owners.
No matter what divine ability or spiritual treasure it was, a single sweep of this divine light would render the enemy helpless, leaving them with nothing but regret.
"So much easier to use!"
Lü Yang's eyes brightened.
He knew that with his current Dao comprehension, he could already seek his next innate divine ability.
This was the greatest harvest of this session!
"Speaking of harvest… right."
Thinking of this, Lü Yang put away the divine ability and took out a long sword from his storage bag.
The sword was covered in dense cracks, almost shattered, and still emanated demonic energy.
[Nine-Offspring Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal Execution Sword]!
This was the life-bound flying sword that Ye Guyue had refined through the 『Divine Weapon Refining and Sword Dissolution Technique』.
It had previously clashed with Lü Yang's Abi Sword, resulting in mutual destruction.
Later, Lü Yang had used the Heavenly Demons within the sword to dispel disasters and avert tribulations.
All nine Heavenly Demons had been crushed by Lü Yang.
Now, this magical sword no longer had any Heavenly Demons guarding it, leaving only the sword body with most of its mystical power lost.
Even so, by killing again and using the sword for sacrificial rituals, the Heavenly Demons could be re-manifested.
"This is pure orthodox demonic cultivation."
Lü Yang shook his head, gripping the [Nine-Offspring Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal Execution Sword] and pondering how to make use of it.
The latest chapters are first released on 69 Book Bar!
"I already have the Abi Sword and the Invisible Sword to protect me."
"Actually, I don't need a third magical sword."
Compared to the power of the [Nine-Offspring Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal Execution Sword], Lü Yang valued more its ability to dispel disasters and avert calamities.
He just didn't know how to utilize it effectively.
"Perhaps I can make another trip to the Manifestation Pavilion."
At that moment.
"Rustle! Rustle!"
He saw a stream of light descending from the sky, finally landing steadily within Luofeng Mountain.
Soon, a dignified and elegant noblewoman stepped out from the light.
Lü Yang's eyebrows immediately lifted upon seeing her.
The next moment, the noblewoman parted her red lips, exhaling a delicate orchid fragrance as she softly spoke:
"This humble one greets Daoist Friend."
"Forgive me for disturbing your cultivation."
"…It's nothing."
Lü Yang put away the magical sword and smiled slightly.
"Though, I wonder why Madam, a woman burdened with countless affairs, would make time to visit my humble Luofeng Mountain?"
As he spoke, Lü Yang glanced at True Person Miaoyin again.
She had already changed out of her white mourning attire.
Now she wore a bright red wide-sleeved robe over a translucent outer garment.
Her snow-white skin was faintly visible through it.
On her breathtakingly beautiful face, she carried the noble bearing of someone long accustomed to a position of power.
It was a very peculiar aura.
Elegant and gentle, yet not lacking in charm.
It made people want to protect her.
Yet it also stirred the urge to ruthlessly violate her, forcing her to beg pitifully.
She had done this on purpose.
Lü Yang narrowed his eyes.
Without a doubt, True Person Miaoyin had deliberately dressed up before coming.
Compared to her previous mourning attire, this was a completely different appearance.
"Naturally, I've come regarding the matter of [Qi Harvesting]."
True Person Miaoyin covered her mouth and laughed softly, her eyes flowing with charm.
"Daoist Friend and my late husband were close as brothers."
"You should have already obtained the original of the cultivation method from him, correct?"
"However, the 『Heavenly Primordial Unity Supreme Overarching God Method』 is extremely profound."
"In the [Ten Thousand Martial Realm], aside from this humble one, I fear few True Persons have any real understanding of it."
"Moreover, since Daoist Friend obtained the method from my husband, are you not concerned that it might be flawed?"
"Coincidentally, this humble one also possesses a copy of the same method."
"If Daoist Friend is willing, I can present it to you for comparison…"
As she spoke, True Person Miaoyin had already walked up to Lü Yang.
Facing this scene, Lü Yang maintained a smile on his face.
But deep inside, there was not the slightest desire.
Instead, the coldness in the depths of his eyes grew even more intense.
This woman was up to no good!
