At this moment, Lu Yang raised his palm high above his head.
Just this one simple action seemed to carry the weight of ten thousand jun, as if his hand was not empty, but holding a boundless heaven and earth.
Rumble!
In the next second, [Taiyin], which had just liquidated Immortal Lord Gu Ming, emerged again. Layers of iridescent colors condensed, but this time they enveloped Lu Yang.
However, unlike the cold and killing aura when dealing with Immortal Lord Gu Ming, the concept emerging this time was simply extremely intimate with Lu Yang, surprisingly resonating with his [Money] concept. Immediately following, a beautiful figure emerged in the moonlight. Her face was cold and detached, and a calm voice drifted faintly:
"Are you sure you want to purchase a dao fruit?"
"Yes."
Lu Yang nodded, but felt strangely indescribable in his heart. After all, in a sense, this was actually the seeking Golden Core and ascending to position unique to the Celestial Court.
It was just that for Celestial Court cultivators to reach this step, they inevitably had to exhaust a lifetime, spending the family wealth of three, ten, or even a hundred generations to finally obtain the huge sum needed to purchase a dao fruit. But relying on speculating on the Carefree Talisman, he achieved it in just three short years, even faster than in the Immortal Nexus.
"I want to attain [Taiyang Residing in the Spring]."
"But not for me to attain, but for my disciple." Speaking of this, Lu Yang changed the subject and looked below. "Daoxuan, you come up."
Wu Daoxuan: "???"
At this moment, not only was Wu Daoxuan stunned, but the other perfected lords of the Unorthodox Alliance were also stunned. Then, jealousy instantly surged in their eyes.
Why him...?
Clearly everyone was licking Lord Ming He together before, why did Lord Ming He favor him specifically? Could he have some backdoor?
This is unreasonable!
Compared to others' jealousy, Wu Daoxuan reacted after a brief daze, and uncontrollable ecstasy instantly surged on his face.
In the next second, he flew up on a streak of light:
"Master! This... this dao fruit— you're giving it to me?"
Wu Daoxuan's body trembled slightly. Although with a perfected lord's cultivation it was impossible to mishear, he still couldn't believe what he just heard.
Until Lu Yang nodded with a smile:
"No need to doubt, this Taiyang dao fruit is for you... Not only that, in the future I will take everyone to earn more money and buy more dao fruits!"
After careful consideration, Lu Yang didn't attain the Taiyang dao fruit himself.
The reason was simple. The stature of Taiyang in the Celestial Court was very high, and it was very likely to conflict with [Heavenly Fire], which would instead expose his identity.
"Of course, the money for buying the dao fruit counts as me lending to you. Relax, I'll count it as an interest-free loan. After you achieve perfected lord status, you can slowly earn money to pay me back... Of course, I can't have no guarantee at all. How about this, I'll take a small loss, you just mortgage your [Inscription of Heaven] to me."
"Many thanks, Master!"
Wu Daoxuan bowed deeply and said sincerely. As for [Inscription of Heaven]... what garbage Unorthodox path— don't fucking come near me.
From now on, I am a noble Orthodox perfected lord!
Without any hesitation, Wu Daoxuan directly severed his own Great Dao, stripped out [Inscription of Heaven], and then threw himself into the Taiyang regardless of his own safety.
"Transaction complete."
Seeing this scene, the peerless beauty who walked out of the moonlight also nodded. However, just when Lu Yang thought she would leave like this—
"...Hehe."
The woman suddenly turned her beautiful face aside. That flawless face actually revealed a smile. "I must thank you for this, Junior Brother."
"!!!!!"
Before Lu Yang could respond, the woman's figure disappeared in the moonlight. After that, all Taiyin concepts dissipated completely, leaving only him stunned in place alone.
Junior Brother... She called me Junior Brother!?
Is she Immortal Venerable Taiyin? Immortal Venerable Taiyin is my senior brother...no, senior sister? Fuck, is she from the Saint Sect? No, but this is the fucking Celestial Court!
For a time, Lu Yang fell completely into bewilderment. Because in his previous understanding, the Saint Sect patriarch sent him to the Celestial Court to do behind-the-lines sabotage work.
Yet, what the fuck—the biggest boss of the Celestial Court, Immortal Venerable Taiyin, is a Saint Sect disciple?
Then what the hell am I sabotaging? Why not directly merge this place into the Immortal Nexus...
No, no, that's wrong.
Lu Yang thought of [Sky-Shrouding]. Saint Sect disciples were not necessarily loyal to the Saint Sect.
[Sky-Shrouding] was like this, and this Immortal Venerable Taiyin might also be like this!
[Sky-Shrouding] chose the Netherworld, and this Immortal Venerable Taiyin chose the Celestial Court?
Don't mention it, the two really had similar wonders. Needless to say about the Netherworld Lord's brilliance, the Celestial Court was also formed after the death of a Dao Lord's corpse in the past.
Either one had a Dao Lord-level background.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang exhaled a heavy breath of turbid air: Thousand-Year Great Tribulation... perhaps isn't purely fighting, or struggle for something.
But a Dao Struggle!
According to the records in that [False History] of the Saint Sect, the World Honored One attained the Nascent Soul Dao five thousand years ago. And five thousand years ago happened to be the end of the last Thousand-Year Great Tribulation... Although the World Honored One's specific methods are unknown, he should have attained the Dao during the last Thousand-Year Great Tribulation!
Of course, there were still many doubtful points in this.
For example, Lu Yang could never be sure which era the World Honored One was from.
After all, theoretically speaking, he should have only attained the Dao five thousand years ago, but in reality, he appeared as a Nascent Soul Dao Lord tens of thousands of years ago.
However, under the influence of the fundamental profound wonder of reversing cause and effect of [City Rampart Earth], the World Honored One's history had been completely buried, and others had no way of knowing.
But no matter what, one point could be confirmed:
Thousand-Year Great Tribulation—within the calamity lies opportunity. Winners become kings and losers become bandits. In the end, it is possible to use this to nurture a Nascent Soul Dao Lord!
This was the true meaning of the Thousand-Year Great Tribulation!
Perfected lords pursue the Dao for a thousand years, but only one person can sublimate to the extreme and reach the supreme peak.
If not so, how could it be worthy of the words "Great Tribulation"? Besides, what else could make perfected lords pale at the mention of it and strive for it, other than the Nascent Soul Dao Path?
At this moment, countless thoughts emerged in Lu Yang's mind.
But in the end, he let out a long breath and returned to calm: 'Aiming too high is inadvisable. Right now, the most pressingmatter is still tallying this harvest.'
With this thought, Lu Yang sank his mind.
Rainbow Talent—[Disciple Becomes the Master's Standard]!
This talent that had been synthesized long ago but never truly played a role was finally exerting its full strength, propelling Lü Yang's essence, qi, and spirit.
Endless dao comprehension emerged continuously.
If he hadn't tried his best to suppress it, the brilliance of [Heavenly Fire] would be revealed at this moment. Even so, he still felt the surging power.
At the level of a perfected lord, dao comprehension often meant power.
The deeper the understanding of the dao fruit concept and profound wonder, the higher the dao comprehension, and the stronger one's power.
Similarly, if the dao comprehension was insufficient and one obtained strength exceeding their own dao comprehension through unconventional means, it would be a castle in the air that could collapse at any time.
...It's time!
In the next second, with a thought from Lu Yang, he collected the [Inscription of Heaven] dao fruit left in place by Wu Daoxuan into the Righteous Dao Banner, then drove the grotto-heaven to swallow it in one gulp.
Boom!
Just like when refining the Righteous Dao Banner, Lu Yang once again intercepted a concept of [Heavenly Fire]. This time, the true treasure he wanted to refine was the [Tribulation Wave]!
Although the Righteous Dao Banner has been refined into a true treasure, it actually only improved performance on the original basis. At most, it added a wondrous use of [Enlightenment], capable of stripping others' will. Using it in combat is inadequate. Right now I need a True Treasure that can give me overwhelming advantage in battle!'
Undoubtedly, the [Tribulation Wave] was the best choice.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang looked at the [Inscription of Heaven] dao fruit he just got, and manipulating the [Heavenly Pillar Profound Governance Grotto-Heaven] to dismantle and devour it bit by bit.
In the next second, numerous scene emerged in the depths of his eyes.
Those were the residual concepts in the [Inscription of Heaven] dao fruit. The auras left by successive holders of the [Inscription of Heaven] dao fruit were also being devoured by Lu Yang.
Soon, the dao fruit was completely digested by him.
Immediately, Lu Yang saw the first owner of [Inscription of Heaven], that Unorthodox perfected lord who witnessed the Dao Lord's death and his corpse opening up the Celestial Court with his own eyes.
Then he was stunned.
Because just after [Inscription of Heaven] was completely digested, a scattered golden light floated down from which melodious zen chanting sounds came out:
"...Buddhist Cultivator?"
The first owner of [Inscription of Heaven] was a Bodhisattva?
