As Lu Yang unleashed his spiritual power, shaking mountains and rivers, the changes in the entire Jiangxi region became increasingly exaggerated. The mighty power of a Golden Core perfected lord was revealed without a doubt at this moment.
Countless great mountains were leveled out of thin air. The earth seemed to turn into ocean waves; the leveled mountains and rivers transformed into visible waves of earth, converging toward the center of Jiangxi. Wherever they passed, rivers changed course, lakes opened new sources, and even the water veins of Jiangxi rushed in the same direction.
Such drastic changes naturally couldn't help but affect mortals.
In a mortal kingdom in Jiangxi.
The people of the kingdom worshipped an Arhat. Countless people offered incense and worshiped day and night. But at this moment, the magnificent Buddhist temple they worshipped day and night suddenly vanished.
Replacing it was a torrent.
Seeing this scene, all the people couldn't help rubbing their eyes, utterly unable to comprehend what had happened. intense panic spread instantly.
But in the next second, they regained their calm.
Because when they looked up, without exception, they all saw a figure standing with hands behind his back above the dome of the sky, facing away from them.
In an instant, all was silent.
Just looking at him, all the people fell into tranquility. After all, even the thoughts of billions of mortals couldn't contend with a single thought of a perfected lord.
Just like that, the changes ended.
In the vast Jiangxi, mountain peaks were laid out layer by layer with Lu Yang as the center, covering the universe, spreading from the center of Jiangxi all the way to the edge.
Seemingly chaotic , but actually orderly.
Looking down from above, eight directions could be clearly seen at the outermost periphery, then collapsing inward into four directions, and finally merging into two Yin-Yang fish.
Eight Trigrams return to Four Symbols, Four Symbols merge into Two Polarities.
Collapsing layer by layer like this, circling ring upon ring, finally all converging on Lu Yang located in the center, merging with his [Heavenly Pillar Profound Governance Grotto-Heaven].
Two Polarities return to Taiji!
Not only that, amidst the mountains and rivers of Jiangxi, beams of incense divine light soared into the sky. It was the gods ordained by incense constantly taking their positions.
"This is... a formation."
A perfected lord saw it, a look of amazement appearing in his eyes: "Rank 3 Grand Formation, using Feng Shui to set up the formation, covering Jiangxi. He really about to establish a Dao lineage."
"So it wasn't just for show? He really intends to contest the World-Honored One for this domain?"
"Has he gone mad?"
"What audacity!"
Amidst the exclamations of amazement, the entire formation was fully set up. Lu Yang opened his eyes. At this moment, only calmness and indifference remained in the depths of his eyes.
At this moment, the entire Jiangxi no longer had peaks piercing into the clouds, only some hills remaining. The vanished peaks, without exception, all landed under Lu Yang's seat, lifting the eight-hundred-li Skull Mountain beneath him into the sky, transforming it directly into an untouchable immortal domain.
"It's the Heaven-Connecting Cloud Sea!"
Seeing this scene, perfected lords immediately noticed the clue. Wasn't this the fucking Heaven-Connecting Cloud Sea of the Saint Sect! You still say you aren't from the Saint Sect?
To this, Lu Yang naturally turned a deaf ear.
At this moment, his mental efforts were all placed on the Dao Domain of the [Righteous Dao]. Soon he looked at Patriarch Nether Whisper, Suo Huan, and Empress Xiao beside him.
"Let me go first."
Patriarch Nether Whisper was the first to understand Lu Yang's intention. He immediately paced out. With a thought, the Shaman-Ghost Secret Realm located in Skull Mountain saw the light of day again.
"This seat is Nether Whisper. Today I reopen the Shaman Ghost Dao!"
Amidst the rumbling, the entire Shaman-Ghost Secret Realm settled directly inside Skull Mountain, spreading everywhere. Almost simultaneously, the [Heavenly Fire] shone brightly!
Scorching heavenly fire responded and fell.
Finally landing on Patriarch Nether Whisper's head, gathering into a ray of spiritual light, deriving karma, causing the perfected lords of the world observing this scene to feel an inexplicable sensation at this moment:
[Nether Capital Sovereign]!
Jiangnan Sword Pavilion, atop the Extreme Heaven Cliff.
"How could this be..."
Watching this scene, [Perfected Lord Chengtian Zhengde] nearly shattered his teeth. Beneath the infinite resentment in his heart lay a fear he couldn't hide no matter what.
Because this wasn't a simple honorific title, but an honorific title Lu Yang specially blessed Patriarch Nether Whisper with by responding to destiny and elevating the concept with the [Heavenly Fire].
From now on, Patriarch Nether Whisper's [Wu You Heaven] could receive the stature blessing of the [Heavenly Fire]. Not only would its power increase greatly, but in necessary situations, he could even borrow a concept of the [Heavenly Fire]. Just this one point was enough to make Patriarch Nether Whisper's combat power comparable to an orthodox perfected lord.
In other words—
"If I couldn't kill Nether Whisper before but he couldn't kill me either, then now... He really has the possibility of killing me!"
This was the source of [Perfected Lord Chengtian Zhengde]'s fear.
Not to mention his days were numbered and he was about to reincarnate. If he left just like this, with Patriarch Nether Whisper watching him, what talk could there be of returning to his position and becoming a perfected lord again?
This cannot be allowed...
Thinking of this, [Perfected Lord Chengtian Zhengde]'s gaze became sinister. Seemingly having thought of something, his aura gradually converged and no longer fluctuated.
Meanwhile, the abnormal changes in Jiangxi continued.
After Patriarch Nether Whisper, Empress Xiao also walked out. Incense divine light reflected on the dome of the sky, finally transforming into a pure full moon hanging behind her head:
"I am Xiao Ru. Today I establish the Divine Investure Platform!"
As her voice fell, rolling incense smoke condensed above the Shaman-Ghost Secret Realm, finally transforming into a high platform, overseeing the divine dao and commanding the incense gods of the world.
In the next second, the light of the [Heavenly Fire] fell.
"Mmm~~!"
Empress Xiao closed her eyes, a soft hum escaping her nose. She let the firelight flow through every part of her body, finally gathering above her head into an honorific title:
[White Luminary Nether Primordial Monarch]!
Jiangdong Dao Court. Watching Empress Xiao's enjoying appearance, Emperor Jiayou's face turned green, but he was helpless and could only let out a low roar of rage.
Finally was Suo Huan.
As the only orthodox perfected lord among the three, he didn't need Lu Yang's blessing. With just a thought, the [Wellspring Water] manifested above the dome of the sky.
Immediately after, infinite emotion appeared on his face:
"This seat is Suo Huan. Today I reopen the Universe Ruins Heaven."
As his voice fell, brilliance rose from Suo Huan's hands. It was a Grotto-Heaven presenting thousands of lights and shadows—the hometown he missed dearly.
Wellspring Water: inexhaustible for nourishment, relied upon by ten thousand people for life, chiseled by eight families to drink together.
This was inherently a Dao Fruit of gracing living beings and saving the world. Suo Huan's act of reviving the Universe Ruins Heaven fit perfectly with the concept and ritual of this Dao Fruit.
This was also one of the main reasons he could succeed in seeking the golden core.
And at this moment, as Suo Huan re-established the [Universe Ruins Heaven], his spiritual power and aura stretched freely, stirring karma. The perfected lords of the world also sensed it:
[Profound Abyss Universal Saviour Perfected Lord]!
Only then did Lu Yang take a step forward. Forming a hand seal, the [Heavenly Fire] shone brightly, incorporating all three Dao Fruits under its rule.
Rumble!
In that instant, crimson clouds spread like a sea, iridescent mist rising, arranging the domains just established by the Nether Whisper, Suo Huan, and Empress Xiao together. With the [Shaman Ghost Dao] as the base, the [Universe Ruins Heaven] in the center, and the [Divine Investure Platform] on top, they merged together, completely refining into a towering immortal mountain!
The three domain were independent yet interconnected.
Only at this moment was the foundation of the [Righteous Dao] truly established. Within the sect, three mountain lineages were founded, unified under the sect leader's leadership, returning all to one.
"With a domain established, there must also be a mountain gate".
The quality of the sect gate determined the first impression the sect gave people. So after repeated deliberation, Lu Yang decided to bring out his most precious treasure.
"Myriad Spirits Banner!"
In the next second, a banner covered the sky and fell with a boom, transforming into a gate standing outside the domain, becoming the portal of the [Rightoeous Dao].
This way, all cultivators walking into my domain from here can be considered voluntarily entering the banner...
Thinking of this, Lu Yang rubbed his hands excitedly.
Ten lifetimes of bitter cultivation, finally stepping onto the peak of the mortal world, ranking as a perfected lord... To be honest, he couldn't wait to mingle with the lower cultivators!
