Heaven and Earth Immortal Bank, outside the White Jade Hall.
Several Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Immortal Bank were cautiously looking at the slightly shaking hall at this moment, their faces filled with confusion. "How long has it been?"
"Is the Lord Immortal Lord not coming out yet?"
"Is it your place to manage the Lord Immortal Lord's affairs? It means My Lord is discussing a project worth billions with Perfected Lord Ming He inside!"
"Makes sense..."
Meanwhile, inside the White Jade Hall, it was already a mess. The collision between Lu Yang and Immortal Lord Yuchan shattered all the tables, chairs, and screens in the hall.
After all, just now, the two fought from the center of the hall to the corners. On the walls, in front of the main gate, beside the tables and chairs... traces of their fierce battle were left in every corner of the hall. Even the second-grade [Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking Grand Formation] was crumbling in this process.
Immortal Lord Yuchan was so angry that her delicate body trembled.
The effect of the second forbidden technique she mastered, [Shaoyin Sealing and Storing Essence], was very simple— to anchor her body and spiritual power to their peak period.
During the effect, her body would not be injured, and her spiritual power would not be depleted.
Undoubtedly, this was her strongest state.
In this state, she naturally had all the advantages when fighting others. Various high-power divine abilities came easily, and she didn't need to worry about whether she would be injured.
If not so, how could she have become one of the very few Early Stage Immortal Lords to survive that great tribulation five thousand years ago?
However, now, she encountered the strongest opponent in her life. Her proudest strongest state surprisingly couldn't gain any advantage in front of Lu Yang.
She even fell into a disadvantage.
Boom!
With a loud noise, Lu Yang's palm hit Immortal Lord Yuchan's lower abdomen ruthlessly. Then his five fingers bent, tearing out a patch of snowy white like sharp claws.
Although Immortal Lord Yuchan reacted with divine speed, raising her fair long legs high to kick Lu Yang away in time, preventing herself from being disemboweled, a red palm print was left on that flat and fair lower abdomen. The residual temperature spread to her whole body along with it.
"If this goes on..."
Immortal Lord Yuchan frowned tightly. A flush appeared on her exquisite cheeks. Looking at the palm print on her lower abdomen, gloom finally appeared in the depths of her eyes.
She didn't care about the charm during hand-to-hand combat, nor did she mind "being open and honest" with Lu Yang.
Even the charm just now was partly intentional on her part. After all, if exposing a little could take down the opponent, she was naturally happy to do so.
However, Lu Yang was unmoved.
What she really cared about was that Lu Yang could actually leave a mark on her body... This indicated that the effect of [Shaoyin Sealing and Storing Essence] was weakening.
In comparison, Lu Yang's aura showed no sign of declining.
As if a god resided in his robust physique, making him fight more bravely in hand-to-hand combat.
Am I going to lose?
Immortal Lord Yuchan gritted her teeth tightly. Thinking that the ressurection coin had been disabled by Lu Yang's [Inscribing Heavenly Chapter], a strong premonition of death instantly shrouded her soul.
If this goes on, she would die.
On the other side, Lu Yang was excited because he saw everything about Immortal Lord Yuchan in this hand-to-hand combat. His eyes were shining!
All along, in Lu Yang's view, the Celestial Court Immortal Lords were actually not worth paying attention to.
The only things that caught his eye were those dao fruits and dao comprehension of the Celestial Court. The Celestial Court Immortal Lords themselves had never been put in his eyes.
Until he saw Immortal Lord Yuchan.
From her, Lu Yang saw the Celestial Court Immortal Lord system during the ancient era of the Thousand-Year Great Tribulation, causing enlightenment to constantly emerge in his heart.
This is a true Celestial Court Immortal Lord.
The cultivation of the Celestial Court focuses on the [Spiritual Platform]. The [Spiritual Platform] is their Dao Foundation. The process of wiping the [Spiritual Platform] is the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Until finally, when the dust is gone and light is born on the [Spiritual Platform], one can seek the Golden Core.
A flawless [Spiritual Platform] can be used to hold a dao fruit. Although not as direct as a grotto-heaven taking charge in the Immortal Nexus, it is still a method to control a dao fruit.
And in the process of holding the dao fruit, the [Spiritual Platform] will also be constantly damaged. Until a thousand years later, when the spiritual platform completely collapses, the Celestial Court Immortal Lord will fall... Therefore, to break through to the Middle Stage of the Immortal Lord realm, one must constantly deduce forbidden techniques to enhance the spiritual platform, finally reaching the realm where the spiritual platform is undamaged...
Two cultivation systems, similar yet different!
It was precisely to see this cultivation system clearly that Lu Yang didn't let Suo Huan, Patriarch Nether Whisper, and Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon intervene, but chose to fight one-on-one.
Otherwise, with his style, he would have called everyone out to gang up on Immortal Lord Yuchan long ago.
The gains from doing so were also considerable.
simply put, he saw Immortal Lord Yuchan's Dao!
Through the intense exchange with Immortal Lord Yuchan, his understanding of the so-called [Forbidden Techniques] of the Celestial Court became more profound, and he even had the idea of trying it.
True Treasure and Forbidden Technique.
I haven't walked my own path yet, so it's not good to condense a third true treasure... But a forbidden technique, I might be able to try refining one.
Using one forbidden technique to match two true treasures, what would happen?
Perhaps unable to form the [Dao-Seeking Immortal Method], but even an approximation would give him insights, clarifying the path he would take in the future.
Thinking of this, his movements became even fiercer.
Unfortunately, the Heaven-Mending True Scripture is hard to work on perfected lords. If I knew earlier, I should have gone to Heaven-Mending Peak to ask if there was an upgraded version before leaving...
Of course, there were still a way.
Shatter her spiritual platform, leaving her with only a soul drifting out. Without the Netherworld to receive it here, the soul has nowhere to go and cannot escape my palm!
Boom!
Another loud bang, and Immortal Lord Yuchan staggered back. The effect of [Shaoyin Sealing and Storing Essence] became weaker and weaker. The palace dress on her body was almost completely damaged.
Her enchanting limbs were completely exposed to Lu Yang's eyes. Her fair skin was permeated with crimson due to boiling blood and qi, looking like it could be broken by a blow, as if water could be squeezed out with a gentle pinch. Compared to the strong woman who fought madly just now, she revealed a contrasting frailty.
However, Lu Yang was unmoved.
You use this kind of thing to test me? I have experienced hundreds of battles; what scene haven't I seen? Let me tell you, you judged the wrong person!
"Die!"
With the final blow, Lu Yang slapped Immortal Lord Yuchan's forehead with a palm, shattering the brilliance and completely breaking her [Shaoyin Sealing and Storing Essence].
"Ah!"
Immortal Lord Yuchan screamed miserably. Her guarded body was breached by Lu Yang, instantly covered with cracks, and then exploded with a bang like a dam burst!
At this moment, the [Deprivation] and many rules previously suppressed by her [Water and Fire Treasure Vase Seal] also recovered quickly. Countless heavenly fires descended from the sky, constantly evaporating Immortal Lord Yuchan's blood and qi. Her already scarce spiritual power was forcibly seized by Lu Yang, making it hard to counterattack.
At the same time, Lu Yang's movements didn't stop at all.
With the [Tribulation Wave] in hand, another sword slash cleaved open the concepts around Immortal Lord Yuchan and finally landed on her [Shaoyin] dao fruit.
[Revolution of Law]!
The divine wonder of the [Tribulation Wave] advanced to a true treasure could forcibly leave his mark within the dao fruit concept. At this moment, it became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
What Lu Yang inscribed was also very simple.
Shaoyin Dao Fruit, governing water and fire—this concept was marked with an "X" by him using the [Tribulation Wave], deleting it for a short time!
"Pfft!"
Instantly, Immortal Lord Yuchan felt the water and fire concepts in her body run wild, while the [Shaoyin] she relied on daily lost the concept of unification.
Boom!
Without any suspense, the spiritual platform used by Immortal Lord Yuchan to hold [Shaoyin] shattered in the rampaging water and fire, and soul drifted out!
Then she saw Lu Yang's large hand.
Grabbed! Instantly refined!
Not only that, having lost the spiritual platform, she was just like those Early Stage Perfected Lords whose grotto-heavens fell. Although still alive, she lost the stature of a perfected lord.
In other words—
I can use the Heaven-Mending True Scripture now!
In the next second, Lu Yang reshaped the body of Immortal Lord Yuchan, then stepped forward brazenly and began to interrogate for the Shaoyin and Taiyin dao comprehension he needed.
"Ah..."
At this moment, Yuchan was finally stripped of all defenses by Lu Yang. Massive amounts of Dao comprehension and knowledge were ruthlessly examined and extracted by him!
