Although the thought of "exploding with the World Honored One" was very tempting, Lu Yang still took a deep breath, suppressing this somewhat dangerous and bold idea.
Not because he was reluctant to part with it, but because the timing was wrong.
I have absolutely no understanding of the situation in the Jiangxi Pure Land at this moment. I only know the World Honored One raised the stakes and strengthened the Buddha Child, but I don't know where exactly the stakes were raised.
Only by knowing the enemy and yourself can you fight a hundred battles without danger.
Rashly false holding the Golden Stature—what if the opponent happened to have a way to deal with it, trying to stall him until his false holding time passed?
No rush. Respond to all changes by remaining unchanged.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang quickly cleared his thoughts, understanding that in the current situation, he didn't actually need to take the initiative to attack. The World Honored One would come to find him Himself.
The urgent task is still myself.
To forge iron, one must be strong oneself.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang laughed instead. He simply ignored the golden buddha in the sea of clouds in the west, got up, and walked down from the dragon bed.
"Is this phenomenon related to you?"
Lu Yang looked towards the corner of the dragon bed in response to the voice, only to see Empress Xiao clutching a corner of the quilt, saying softly, "Manifesting dharma in Jiangxi... it seems you really aren't an incarnation of the World Honored One."
"Why, scared?"
Lu Yang saw the fear in Empress Xiao's heart at a glance. He smiled calmly immediately. Instead, Empress Xiao widened her eyes and asked him back incredulously:
"Aren't you scared?"
Only then did Lu Yang realize. To most Perfected Ones, how high and mighty a figure was the World Honored One? Even when He smurfing, it wasn't something they could resist.
They should be afraid.
But Lu Yang had experienced storms for a long time. After ten lifetimes, he had absolutely no reverence for the World Honored One, let alone having the Dao Court's Dao Lord backing him at this moment. Judging from the feedback of the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws], the Dao Court's Dao Lord obviously wanted him to be energetic, not lose face, and have a fight with the World Honored One.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang couldn't help but chuckle: "Actually, you'll get used to it after a few more times."
After speaking, he turned and left the Kunning Palace, arriving at the Tianwu Hall main hall. Before long, a streak of light descended from the sky and landed in the hall.
The visitor was full of sharpness, with a solemn expression. It was exactly Chong Guang.
As soon as he walked into the main hall, Chong Guang's gaze fell on Lu Yang, his eyes illuminating like candlelight. Then he said in a deep voice, "Was that aimed at you just now?"
"Correct."
Lu Yang looked calm: "The Buddha Child's buddhist affinity karma. Presumably, it won't be long before that Buddha Child from Jiangxi comes personally to convert me into the Pure Land."
Chong Guang frowned deeply upon hearing this and whispered, "False holding?"
Lu Yang shook his head, looking at Chong Guang meaningfully: "If I false hold now, I'm afraid I won't be able to tolerate Fellow Daoist. Fellow Daoist should understand this point."
If he false held, there were only two choices.
Either reverse the Chen Earth, screw [Sky-Shrouding] once, and then to prevent Chong Guang from seeking the Golden Core first, turn from guest to host and slap him to death directly. Or not reverse the Chen Earth, directly cutting off Chong Guang's Dao path... It was conceivable that either way, he and Chong Guang would fall out.
Chong Guang obviously knew this too, sighing faintly.
Immediately after, he reached into his bosom and actually took out a jade slip to hand to Lu Yang. The patterns of the sun and moon on it made Lu Yang raise his eyebrows slightly instantly:
"This is..."
"This was given to me by that group of Zou Yu descendants the Saint Sect took in before I left." Chong Guang looked solemn: "Recorded within is a True Technique."
Lu Yang understood immediately upon hearing this: he'd stolen it.
The next second, a look of surprise and joy appeared in his eyes: "The True Technique corresponding to [Heavenly Fire]?"
Chong Guang nodded.
Seeing this, Lu Yang immediately took the jade slip, sinking his mind into it. Soon he learned the name of this True Technique, called [Kan-Li Correct Position Phase Shift True Technique].
"Kan is Water, Li is Fire. Water and Fire mutually aiding refers to the change of Yin and Yang, which is also [Heavenly Fire]. The so-called Kan-Li Correct Position is the position of [Heavenly Fire]... This True Technique is a wondrous method specially sought by the Zou Yu Imperial Family of the previous Dao Court dynasty in order to Seek [Heavenly Fire]."
Chong Guang explained briefly with a few sentences.
On the other side, Lu Yang directly called for the blessing of the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws], entering a super cultivation state, rapidly absorbing the knowledge of the True Technique in his hand:
This True Technique is not used for fighting.
Gradually, a look of enlightenment appeared on Lu Yang's face, even with a bit of amazement:
"This is a method of seeking the Dao that involves risking one's life and achieving great things with little effort!"
Everyone knows that the [Heavenly Fire] is extremely difficult to seek, and the ritual is too demanding. However, it is a supreme dao fruit after all; how could it not be coveted? To attain this dao fruit, predecessors have exhausted every possible method and proposed countless solutions. This true technique is the best among them.
The principle of the true technique is also very simple:
Directly attaining [Heavenly Fire] is hopeless due to the ritual issues. Therefore, we must find another path, a roundabout way to attain the Dao.
Simply put, cultivate another Fire Element Dao Fruit first.
After all, the conditions for other Dao Fruits are not so harsh. One can seek the Golden Core with that first, then operate this True Technique when ascending the Blessed Land.
At that time, as long as one can find the [Kan-Li Correct Position] and locate the position of [Heavenly Fire], one can use this True Technique to forcibly deflect the direction of ascension, jumping from another Fire Element Dao Fruit to [Heavenly Fire], turning to seek and attain [Heavenly Fire], avoiding that harsh ritual restriction.
It sounded very tempting.
But in reality, this was a quite risky move. Because cultivating another Fire Element Dao Fruit but seeking [Heavenly Fire] was extremely likely to be rejected.
Even taking ten thousand steps back, the start of this True Technique was already very difficult.
Because the [Kan-Li Correct Position] was extremely hard to find. It wasn't a fixed position but fluctuated like waves, changing all the time.
...Ultimately it just a wishful thinking.
It was no wonder [Heavenly Fire] cultivators gradually died out. After all, compared to other Dao Fruits, this Dao Fruit simply wasn't meant for humans to attain.
Being able to deduce such a True Technique, it was conceivable that countless people must have succeeded one another, filling the Dao with their bodies. Yet even after paying such a huge sacrifice, the result was nothing more than a glimmer of hope. Before they could perfect it further, they themselves were exhausted in the long years.
However...
Lu Yang pondered secretly. Under the blessing of the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws], his comprehension improved greatly. Otherwise, if it were before, he would have called Patriarch Nether Whisper out long ago.
Gradually, he had a train of thought—
This True Technique might not be usable for seeking the Golden Core... but if used for False Holding the Golden Stature, simply hanging on, perhaps it can have some wondrous effects instead!
After all, Patriarch Nether Whisper's [Yama Hall] False Holding Golden Stature had no restrictions! No ritual needed, as long as there was the corresponding Golden Nature, one could False Hold the corresponding Dao Fruit... Previously, he could only False Hold [Overturned Lamp Flame], but if he added [Kan-Li Correct Position Phase Shift True Technique] to adjust it—
Maybe I can False Hold [Heavenly Fire]?
With this thought, Lu Yang's breathing instantly became heavy. Although [Overturned Lamp Flame] was good, compared to [Heavenly Fire], it was just trash.
If there are no worries about the future, I can try it...
The next second, the current Imperial City Division Commander Xiao Shan walked quickly into the Tianwu Hall. First saluting and saying "Loyalty," he then said in a deep voice:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, urgent report from the border pass."
Lu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this: "What happened?"
"It's Jiangxi!"
Speaking up to here, Xiao Shan seemed to recall some scene, revealing a look of fear: "According to the intelligence report, a demon monk came from the direction of Jiangxi."
"He came from afar, saying he wants to [Cultivating Buddhism]."
