Perfected One Subduing-Spirit, a true direct descendant of the Sword Pavilion.
Lu Yang remembered clearly that before the end of the previous life, he had met this person once. The other party cultivated one of the Supreme Dao Fruits, [Sword Edge Gold].
"Three Daoist names of the Sword Pavilion: Vanquishing-Demon, Warding-Evil, and Subduing-Spirit. Vanquishing-Demon needless to say, just a consumable used to prove the [Sword Dao]. Warding-Evil was unlucky; because he cultivated [White Wax Gold] which conflicting with [Sky-Shrouding], he was also abandoned in the end. Only this Perfected One Subduing-Spirit was protected very well."
Lu Yang calculated with his fingers, understanding the causes and effects in his chest:
"Calculating the days, at this time point in the previous life, he should have just refined the fifth divine ability, and it hasn't been long since he broke through to Foundation Establishment Perfection."
Immediately, he glanced at [Tai].
Although this First Imperial Venereable of the Supreme Imperial World didn't cultivate the orthodox path, he was not weak. Even placed in the Immortal Nexus, his strength could rank among the best.
In his memory, back then he once encountered Perfected One Subduing-Spirit on the Road to Immortality, was defeated by three swords, and finally fled in a sorry state to avoid death. At first hearing, it seemed useless, but think carefully about what level Perfected One Subduing-Spirit was. A Foundation Establishment Perfection Perfected One cultivating a Supreme Dao Fruit!
Moreover, coming from the Sword Pavilion, he definitely had Sword Intent.
Adding the two together, one could imagine how strong Perfected One Subduing-Spirit's strength was. He absolutely an outstanding figure among Foundation Establishment Perfection, not much different from Lu Yang before seeking golden core.
However, he didn't kill [Tai].
Three swords slashed out, yet only injured him, and finally let [Tai] run away... Just looking at this point, [Tai]'s strength was already quite exaggerated.
But also normal.
After all, he is based on my blood. And this [Tai] is different from ordinary Imperial Venerable; he actually circulated three drops of my blood in his body.
One drop of his blood could create an Imperial Venerable.
Let alone three drops of blood.
After soul searching, Lu Yang also understood the origin within: Ordinary Imperial Venerable, after dominating the Supreme Imperial World for ten thousand years, would approach their end of life and die of old age.
However, heaven never bars one's way. As long as before that, the Imperial Venerable's cultivation could go a step further, triggering "Immortal Blood" to descend again, or swallowing the Elixir of Immortality stained with "Immortal Blood", then one could live out a second life, extending life for ten thousand years. And [Tai] was such an Imperial Venerable.
He even possessed both.
Not only was his dao comprehension high enough to trigger a second descent of Immortal Blood, but he also swallowed the Elixir of Immortality. So he had a lifespan of thirty thousand years. Now was already the late years of his third life.
"It can be considered stunning."
Lu Yang praised. Although coming from a small world realm, small world realms were not without favored children of heaven. After all, wasn't Suo Huan also from a small world realm back then?
Compared to this, Lu Yang was more interested in the so-called [Road to Immortality].
What Road to Immortality? Nine out of ten it is a spatial channel leading to the interior of the shadow area. Perfected One Subduing-Spirit could actually go to that place?
Could that be the territory of the Sword Pavilion?
Its possible. After all, even the Saint Sect secretly made a Celestial Court; how could the Sword Pavilion not have one?
Thinking carefully, Perfected One Subduing-Spirit cultivates [Sword Edge Gold]. How difficult it is to cultivate a Supreme Dao Fruit? Yet he could reach Foundation Establishment Perfection, and even having hope for seeking gold core...
Thinking back to those years, he paid unknown amounts of effort to cultivate [Heavenly Fire]. With his accumulation of ten lifetimes, in the end he almost fell short of success.
On what basis did Perfected One Subduing-Spirit do it?
Could there be a huge opportunity in the shadow area?
In the previous life, I even breached the Sword Pavilion, yet never saw the figure of Perfected One Subduing-Spirit.
But later he popped out of thin air.
Could he have been hiding here at that time?
The more Lu Yang guessed, the greater his curiosity about the shadow area became. He also reviewed [Tai]'s memory of the Road to Immortality again in his mind.
That was a portal appearing inexplicably.
When opened, heaven and earth trembled. Ancient incantations resounded through heaven and earth, like some distant sacrifice. Even corpses fell out of thin air from within.
Besides this, there were many phantom images of buildings.
Through [Tai]'s memory, Lu Yang also saw the appearance of the Road to Immortality, saw the magnificent light and shadow standing inside, like a magnificent palace.
At that time, [Tai] thought it was a great catastrophe. Until he approached to stop the catastrophe, he discovered that the Immortal Light splashing out from within could actually extend his vitality, nourishing his flesh body and soul. So he immediately determined that it was a road to heaven leading to the Undying Immortal World.
"Immortal Light extending vitality?"
Surprise appeared in the depths of Lu Yang's eyes. Then he looked at [Tai]. Without giving the other party the right to refuse, with a sweep of divine sense, he took out a clear crystal.
This was the condensation of that streak of Immortal Light from the past.
[Tai] absorbed one streak, his dao comprehension increased greatly, and he lived out a second life. However, absorbing a second streak became useless, so he chose to keep it close to his body.
Only because [Tai] discovered that if this Immortal Light Crystal was kept close to the body, it could seal his vitality, ensuring he wasn't affected by time while sleeping in the Forbidden Zone. There were many similar Immortal Lights; many scattered out at that time. Later generations of Imperial Venerable establishing Forbidden Zones almost had one each.
Lu Yang held the crystal, sensing slightly: Sure enough... This is a concept!
a condensed concept!
Instantly, Lu Yang's eyes brightened greatly: And it is a time concept crystal. [Tai] absorbed it; strictly speaking, he didn't really extend his life.
But his personal time was further slowed down!
Lu Yang was not interested in this kind of concept crystal. What he really cared about was the source of the concept, very likely an extremely powerful dao fruit.
But soon, he frowned:
"The Road to Immortality is closed?"
Hearing this, [Tai], who had long wanted to express himself nearby, hurriedly whispered: "Although closed, the time for opening is also approaching."
"The reason we Imperial Venerable sleep and turn ourselves into Forbidden Zones is to wait for the Road to Immortality to reopen. At the right time and right place, kill our way in... Back then I was unable to support alone, but this time, with ten Imperial Venerable joining forces, unless a True Immortal descends, no one can stop us!"
Of course, these are not important now.
[Tai]'s gaze was incredibly burning, having already determined that Lu Yang was the True Immortal he had been thinking of. With a True Immortal face to face, isn't it more reliable than the Road to Immortality?
With this thought, he simply knelt on the ground:
"This humble cultivator Tai, hereafter willing to serve the Immortal diligently, not declining even if facing ten thousand deaths. Only beg the Immortal to bestow methods, helping this world turn danger into safety. This humble cultivator is endlessly grateful!"
Hearing this, Lu Yang instantly raised his eyebrows slightly: "You don't want longevity?"
[Tai] shook his head upon hearing this:
"This humble cultivator dare not be greedy, only beg the Immortal to save this world. As for longevity... this is my selfishness, i dare not hope such extravagance. I am willing to fight to the death on the Road to Immortality!"
As his voice fell, Lu Yang chuckled, his expression full of emotion.
Same small world realm, same for his own world realm. It reminded him of Suo Huan.
"Alright."
Lu Yang changed the subject: "I have a Fellow Daoist under my sect who opened [Universe Ruins Heaven] and also has destiny with you. Since you are sincere, how about I accept a disciple on behalf of my friend?"
[Tai] said nothing more, immediately kowtowing: "Greeting, Sect Master..."
He saw clearly. The one in front of him was a living True Immortal. Compared to Immortal inheritance, what did he count for? At this time, he couldn't talk about any Imperial dignity.
There is gold under a man's knees.
This moment is exactly the time to cash it out!
Moreover, Lu Yang said "Fellow Daoist", indicating there is more than one True Immortal on the other side. The sect must have a great origin; maybe he is the one taking advantage!
