Jiangxi, above the Pure Land.
[Supreme Truth Enlightenment Tuoluo Heaven Manifestation] was clearly wary of Lu Yang, having long decided in his heart that this Hong Yun was a standard Saint Sect Perfected Lord.
Even Lu Yang could see that although the other party seemed to have a tough attitude, they were just a bravado. Of course, the main reason behind this was insufficient strength. [Supreme Truth Enlightenment Tuoluo Heaven Manifestation] himself was still limited to the Foundation Establishment level, incomparable to a Perfected Lord.
The Buddha Kingdom on Earth...
Lu Yang's eyes were bright. The power of [Overturned Lamp Flame] blessed his eyes, allowing his gaze to illuminate many secrets and pierce through the thick Buddhist light before him.
"You!"
There was a hint of anger in [Supreme Truth Enlightenment Tuoluo Heaven Manifestation]'s voice: "Even if you are a Perfected Lord, you cannot be so rude within my Pure Land."
"Peeping into the secrets of the Buddha Kingdom, do you want to tear off all pretenses?"
Solemn Buddhist sounds resonated, mobilizing the [Buddha Kingdom on Earth] in an attempt to resist Lu Yang's prying. This kind of mighty power was almost invincible at the Foundation Establishment level.
However, his opponent completely exceeded this level. Lu Yang didn't even need to use spiritual power. With just a slight thought, the entire [Buddha Kingdom on Earth] stagnated. [Supreme Truth Enlightenment Tuoluo Heaven Manifestation] stiffened directly on the spot, and then raging fire ignited all over his body.
"Hoo."
Lu Yang pursed his lips and blew out a breath. That majestic and magnificent Dharma Aspect immediately exploded into a sky full of streaming light on the spot, as if suffering death by a thousand cuts.
The gap is too big...
Cultivating for many lifetimes, Lu Yang once again experienced the feeling of meeting a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a Qi Refining body in the past. The two looked like the same species, but in reality, the difference was like clouds and mud.
Lu Yang reached out and beckoned. Immediately, three Golden Natures fell into his palm one after another. They were the Golden Natures of Perfected One Warding-Evil, King Zhen Nan, Wu Taian. Added to Immortal Spirit Shangzhang's Golden Nature, this was equivalent to four gold talents!
Thinking of this, Lu Yang shifted his gaze again.
The next second, Xiang Ye, the only surviving Saint Sect Perfected One, swallowed nervously. Then, without saying a word, he decisively opened his consciousness sea.
"Subordinate Xiang Ye greets [Perfected Lord Heavenly Fortune Bright Light]!"
Before his voice fell, Xiang Ye actively offered up his Golden Nature, respectfully saying, "This is the Golden Nature the subordinate cultivated for the Perfected Lord. Please accept it with a smile, Perfected Lord."
Lu Yang nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this.
The Saint Sect's Perfected One was truly sensible!
"Rest assured, I am not some bloodthirsty person." Lu Yang chuckled lightly. He didn't take all of Xiang Ye's Golden Nature, but only took a sliver.
Enough for [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] to settle accounts.
After doing all this, he looked at Xiang Ye and said calmly, "Now you are the only one left. What are you still staring blankly for? Go continue seek the Golden Core."
"...Huh?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiang Ye was stunned.
To be honest, ever since Lu Yang appeared with the body of a Perfected Lord, he hadn't held out hope for seeking Golden Core. He completely hadn't expected that Lu Yang would choose to give him free rein!
Is there a trap?
This thought immediately arose in Xiang Ye's mind. However, looking at the smiling Lu Yang in front of him, he quickly realized one point:
The arrow is on the string and must be fired!
Trap or not, he probably wasn't allowed to refuse!
"Subordinate accepts the order!"
Xiang Ye was also a decisive person. With this thought, he instantly cut off all hesitation and put his entire mind on sensing the Dao Fruit.
The next second, the crisp sound of water gradually rang out from Xiang Ye's body. Cool and clear brilliance blew from him like a cold spring, inexhaustible in its giving. Finally, a blessed land scenery emerged, within which lay a wellspring. A hundred families chiseled it to drink together, and ten thousand people relied on it for their livelihood.
[Wellspring Water]!
This was the [Dao Fruit] Xiang Ye wanted to attain. At this moment, casting his gaze and sensing the blessed land, [Xiang Ye] immediately began to fly upward with the momentum, aiming to attain that position of supreme heaven and earth!
Lu Yang watched from the side.
From beginning to end, his expression was very calm. Although he had the capital to seek [Pomegranate Wood] after reclaiming the Immortal Spirit body, he did not attempt it.
Because under False Holding Golden Stature, I cannot Seeking Golden Core.
If he wanted to seek [Pomegranate Wood], he had to wait until he exited the state of False Holding Golden Stature. But in this situation, once he exited, it would be seeking his own death.
Besides, this [Buddha Kingdom on Earth]... is a huge pit!
The reason was simple— this [Buddha Kingdom on Earth] shockingly included [White Wax Gold], and [White Wax Gold] was something [Sky-shrouding] was determined to obtain!
This is a fundamental conflict of the Great Dao. One can imagine that [Sky-shrouding] will never allow [White Wax Gold] to fall into the Pure Land's [Buddha Kingdom on Earth]. He will inevitably act. Since that's the case, me seizing the [Buddha Kingdom] would instead make it easier for him to take advantage. It's better to find a scapegoat to take the bullet...
Apart from this, there was one more point.
I suspected it before, but the ownership of heaven and earth Dao Fruits probably doesn't lie in the hands of the Perfected Lords... In other words, I probably can't take them with me after restarting.
This was very troublesome.
What use was grabbing a Dao Fruit he couldn't take with him?
So, including [City Rampart Earth], Lu Yang didn't care about any of them right now. In his eyes, what was truly valuable was the [Sword Dao Fruit] left by Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon.
Because the [Sword Dao Fruit] is different from other Dao Fruits. It was attained from the void by Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon. It is a truly ownerless Dao Fruit in the truest sense. If I can obtain it and then restart, there's an eighty percent chance I can take it away together with [Seven Luminaries Heaven]! This is the real priceless treasure!
Thinking of this, Lu Yang suddenly looked up, sensing something in his heart.
Finally, he can't hold back anymore...
Boom!
Above the dome of the sky, the Dao Fruit star symbolizing [Wall-Top Earth] finally brightened. A heaven-tilting loud noise suddenly resonated.
Immediately after, a figure walked out from the starlight.
His whole body was shrouded in clear radiance. His silhouette resembled a young man in the prime of his life. Just the overflowing aura made the four regions of the world respond!
[Perfected Lord Chengtian Zhengde]!
At this moment, this Sword Pavilion Perfected Lord didn't look at all like he had paid the huge price of burning his Grotto-Heaven to descend. His spiritual power was still robust.
Under the heavens, all Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones cultivating [Wall-Top Earth] felt a connection and trembled in fear!
This was the suppression of the Dao lineage. As the Perfected Lord of [Wall-Top Earth], he held absolute power over life and death over the Perfected Ones of the subordinate lineage, like an emperor over commoners!
Under the clear radiance, a pair of sword eyes emerged.
[Perfected Lord Chengtian Zhengde] had a clear goal. As soon as he appeared, his deep gaze fell directly on Lu Yang, as if to see through his background.
However, this was not the end.
Almost simultaneously, right above the dome of the sky in Jiangxi, another starlight was lit up, in no way inferior to the [Wall-Top Earth] reappearing in the world at this moment!
Immediately after, a figure also walked out from that starlight.
Her posture was graceful. Like [Perfected Lord Chengtian Zhengde], she was also an old acquaintance of Lu Yang—shockingly, the Pure Land's [Bodhisattva Precious Vase Water Moon]!
"Amitabha!"
For a moment, heaven and earth fell into silence.
[Perfected Lord Chengtian Zhengde], [Bodhisattva Precious Vase Water Moon].
Two Perfected Lords fixed their gazes on Lu Yang almost simultaneously. Their eyes were cold and detached from the mundane world, as if all human emotions had been extinguished.
However, facing the gaze of two Perfected Lords, Lu Yang merely smiled faintly.
His tone was calm, without the slightest panic, only a kind of eagerness like a "great wish fulfilled," as if he had been looking forward to this day for a long time:
"Who wishes to fight me?"
