At this moment, Lu Yang frowned deeply.
The first-generation owner of the [Inscription of Heaven] Dao Fruit was a Buddhist Cultivator Bodhisattva. This made him uncontrollably think of the first Unorthodox Dao Fruit he had devoured before.
Myriad Martial World Realm, [Imperial Order]!
That Dao Fruit was also attained first by a Buddhist Cultivator. Strictly speaking, he only took it second-hand... A similar situation appearing once could be a coincidence.
But appearing twice?
Thinking of this, Lu Yang couldn't help but rub the center of his brows, sighing inwardly: I've already run to the Celestial Court, separated by the outer heaven light sea, yet the World Honored One is still chasing me...
That being said, Lu Yang didn't take it too much to heart. After all, he couldn't give up devouring [Inscription of Heaven] just because of this unfounded suspicion. With the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes], no matter what problems there were, swallowing it whole first and raising his cultivation was the most important thing.
Rumble!
At this moment, Lu Yang's sea of consciousness shook violently. In a place unseen by anyone, his [Heavenly Pillar Profound Governance Grotto-Heaven] underwent a change.
[Inscription of Heaven]…this is a rather powerful Dao Fruit. In terms of quality, it's probably no worse than [Wu You Heaven]. It's just that Wu Daoxuan's dao comprehension wasn't worthy of it.
What is [Inscription of Heaven]?
Simply put, this Dao Fruit can inscribe, copy, and then store concepts. The more concepts copied, the stronger this Dao Fruit becomes!
After devouring it, Lu Yang also mastered this ability. At this moment, the many Unorthodox perfected lords inside the Righteous Dao Banner were all seen by him one by one. Concepts were seen by him, inscribed, copied, and collected, yet accommodated into one, making his gaze increasingly bright.
Great opportunity!
Lu Yang completely didn't expect that an Unorthodox Dao Fruit could bring him such a great opportunity. At this moment, his grotto-heaven seemed to begin a drastic change!
The Unorthodox Alliance had a total of seven Unorthodox perfected lords.
Besides [Inscription of Heaven], there were six other Dao Fruits with different concepts: [Stabilizing Mountain], [Subduing Thunder], [Dominating Sea], [Holding Metal], [Peach Spirit], and [Great Wind].
However, now, all these Dao Fruits were inscribed by Lu Yang. Concept after concept flowed through his heart, acting within the [Heavenly Pillar Profound Governance Grotto-Heaven], merging into the mountains, rivers, oceans, and forests within the grotto-heaven...
At the same time, dark clouds, thunder light, fierce winds, and gold mines gradually appeared in the grotto-heaven.
It was becoming complete!
Although the original [Heavenly Pillar Profound Governance Grotto-Heaven] also covered myriad phenomena, it had a focal point. The concepts of light and fire within the grotto-heaven were stronger.
This was also normal.
After all, Lu Yang attained the Dao with [Heavenly Fire]. The grotto-heaven had also only transformed under the Dao Fruit's support, so being tainted with corresponding power was natural.
But now, the situation had changed. Brand-new concepts filled the grotto-heaven, weakening the proportion of [Heavenly Fire] within. In its place, other concepts were constantly improving. In this process, Lu Yang's aura was also constantly growing and climbing upward!
"Ah~~!"
Lu Yang exhaled deeply, letting out a long sigh of comfort, enlightenment arising in his heart: No wonder perfected lords must hold other Dao Fruits to break through to the Late Stage...
Perhaps there is the factor of balancing the grotto-heaven. Although there are definitely profound wonder I don't understand, it is certain that the balance of the Five Elements is the best!
A combination of three elements ultimately has flaws.
The myriad phenomena of heaven and earth are based on the Five Elements, gathering to divide into Yin and Yang. If the balance of the Five Elements cannot be achieved, many difficulties and obstacles will inevitably arise out of thin air on the Great Dao path.
If the Great Dao of Five Elements balance is a flat and unimpeded highway, then the Great Dao of three elements combination is a mountain path full of gravel. Although both can reach the destination, the former is definitely easier than the latter... And the current me is steadily advancing towards this path!
Opening his eyes, Lu Yang's figure flashed.
In the next second, he entered the headquarters of the Unorthodox Alliance. Layers of formations activated, isolating karma and preventing prying, further covered by the Righteous Dao Banner.
After doing all this, he finally revealed a look of excitement.
Immediately, a ray of heavenly light bloomed from within his body, with obscure concepts mixed within.
Inside the Righteous Dao Banner, Patriarch Nether Whisper looked surprised, standing side by side with Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon. Thoughtful expressions gradually appeared on both their faces.
"So strong...!"
At the same time, Suo Huan looked shaken. He didn't comprehend anything, but he clearly felt the magnificent concept surging from Lu Yang.
On the other side, the feelings of Empress Xiao and the Unorthodox perfected lords like Banshan were completely different. For them, the moment Lu Yang sat cross-legged, the entire world plunged into darkness. This was not a change in the external scenery, but their divine sense being forcibly affected!
"What cultivation level is this?"
"Lord Ming He... Is he still Unorthodox? How do I feel he's even stronger than that Immortal Lord Gu Ming before? Could he have secretly purchased a Dao Fruit already?"
"Could it be Taiyang?"
The group of Unorthodox perfected lords discussed animatedly, all with a bit of awe. Empress Xiao, the only one who knew Lu Yang's background, looked at Lu Yang with strange brilliance in her eyes.
She had watched Lu Yang grow up.
From that small, soft guy back then to the unimaginably gigantic tree reaching the sky now— the speed of growth was simply appalling!
Just a few decades...
Strictly speaking, not even a hundred years!
Normally, after a Golden Core perfected lord breaks through, a period of accumulation is inevitably needed. It is very normal for cultivation not to improve for hundreds of years.
But Lu Yang was different.
Breaking through to the Golden Core seemed to be just the beginning of his explosion. explosion. Not only hadn't he stopped growing stronger, he was actually getting faster and faster, visibly growing!
"It's a bit hot... what's burning?"
Suddenly, Empress Xiao frowned.
At the same time, the other Unorthodox perfected lords also realized it belatedly. Only then did they discover that at some point, an intense concept was emerging within the grotto-heaven.
[Heavenly Fire]!
In the next second, Lu Yang raised his head and flipped his palm. The [Tribulation Wave] had already appeared in his hand, instantly merging with the concept of [Heavenly Fire].
Even more than that—
Lu Yang formed a hand seal and summoned another ray of heavenly light. But unlike the scorching heat of [Heavenly Fire], this ray of heavenly light actually carried a chill.
[Taiyang Cold Water]!
Using the Taiyang dao comprehension synchronized via [Disciple Becomes the Master's Standard], Lu Yang was also able to wield this concept and throwing it into the [Tribulation Wave] together at this moment!
…
Immortal Nexus, Jiangnan Sword Pavilion.
Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao suddenly looked up, gazing at that [Heavenly Fire] which seemed a bit too bright and dazzling to him, gradually frowning.
"What's happening?"
Just now, he seemed to see a sword!
"That demon dragon broke through? Condensed a second true treasure, and even gained insight into his own Dao path, thereby triggering the abnormal movement of [Heavenly Fire]?"
Impossible!
Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao subconsciously denied this guess. Are you kidding me? It's been less than ten years since the other party fled to the outer heavens in a sorry state after being killed by him! What can a perfected lord do in ten years? Just enough time for a meditation session. How could the other party condense a second true treasure so quickly?
Absolutely impossible!
..
Celestial Court, Ninth Layer.
Under the night curtain, starlight dotted the sky, and a bright moon hung high. Moonlight fell like flowing water on a cassia tree, reflecting a graceful figure drinking alone against the sky.
Suddenly, she seemed to sense something, lowering her eyelids.
"So fast?"
The next second, her elegant brows knitted slightly. That exquisite, perfect jade countenance showed a trace of pitiful fragility in this moment, making one unable to help but be enchanted.
"...No, too fast."
Unlike Perfected Lord Gangxing Budao, she was not surprised by Lu Yang condensing a second true treasure. What surprised her was Lu Yang's progress in dao comprehension.
"How long has it been?"
"He actually succeeded in [Seeking the Dao] and officially started [Chasing the Dao]!"
