"Alright, get up."
Lu Yang smiled slightly, signaling: "Tell me about the Road to Immortality. How did you confirm that the Road to Immortality would open within nearly ten thousand years?"
He had already soul-searched [Tai], but the other party's memory in this aspect was quite vague. It seemed to appear out of thin air, completely without cause and effect. And when he tried to calculate, he obtained nothing, as if the so-called Road to Immortality was just delusion, and everything was his hallucination.
This was obviously not right.
"Replying to Sect Master, the specific time was obtained through heavenly revelation."
[Tai] bowed in salute: "We Imperial Venerables, after achieving the Dao, would all generate inexplicable enlightenment, learning the opening time of the Road to Immortality, as if someone transmitted a voice."
"Oh? There is actually such a thing?"
Lu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this, his expression somewhat strange: Breaking through to Foundation Establishment Perfection generates a connection, learning the opening time of the Road to Immortality for no reason.
Why is it a bit like a Sect Secret Realm?
Some small sects in the Immortal Nexus liked to do this kind of thing the most.
The sect rules a region. Everyone under its rule is a candidate for the secret realm. As long as someone's aptitude meets the standard, they will immediately be pulled in by the secret realm.
And after the screening of the secret realm, people who meet the entry conditions will be absorbed by the sect, becoming fresh blood of the sect. It is considered one of the methods for small sects to cultivate disciples. However, because doing so is too fancy, costing huge funds but having low efficiency, only small sects use it.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang became even more surprised:
Only small sects with relatively normal conduct and not beastly enough would use this kind of humane method to select disciples under the sect.
The Saint Sect never does these fancy things.
What disciple? As long as they are human, accept them all. Only those who can survive in the Saint Sect are disciples; the dead ones are materials, contributing bricks and tiles to the Saint Sect.
Speaking of which, if the Road to Immortality is really a secret realm, then the one who established the secret realm might be a mighty figure with a relatively normal style?
Is it possible?
Lu Yang was full of suspicion in his heart. After all, someone who can mix to become a mighty figure in this wretched place, how could they be some kind and charitable person?
I still have to see it with my own eyes.
Lu Yang frowned slightly, thinking to himself: But I have entered the world for so long, yet I have never received the notification of the Road to Immortality opening.
Could it be that I exceeded the screening conditions?
Thinking of this, his heart sank slightly. This kind of thing was not impossible.
After all, according to [Tai]'s statement, only after achieving Imperial Venerable can one get the hint, indicating that the shadow area very likely only allows Foundation Establishment Perfection to enter.
If that's really the case, then it's difficult to handle.
Lu Yang pondered for a moment, but then had doubts again: No, after all, the reason I came here was guided by karma, indicating that I originally had destiny.
If there really was no destiny and he couldn't enter that shadow area, he shouldn't have been able to sense the karma of this place from the beginning. Since he sensed it, it meant he met the conditions, just that there might be an important key point within that he hasn't discovered temporarily.
At this moment, outside the Supreme Imperial World.
Lu Yang's main body sat in the void, silently examining himself. A guess gradually emerged in his heart: "Could it be... because I currently have no grotto-heaven?"
This point is quite subtle.
After all, [Heavenly Pillar Profound Governance Grotto-Heaven] had been refined by him into the true treasure [Yellow Court], so strictly speaking, the current him actually no longer had a grotto-heaven.
However, he didn't fall in realm because of this.
After all, the [Yellow Court] main body was still inside [Heavenly Fire]. As long as he didn't take it out, he could still maintain the connection with [Heavenly Fire].
Of course, due to losing the grotto-heaven, his Dao path was strictly speaking already cut off. Unless restarting, it was impossible to break through to the Middle Stage Golden Core again. Even once [Yellow Court] was extracted from [Heavenly Fire], his connection with [Heavenly Fire] would also break, falling from the Perfected Lord position.
Perhaps this confused the judgment of the shadow area?
Lu Yang's eyes gradually became bright: The current me, although at the Golden Core Perfected Lord level in all aspects, broadly speaking is actually more like Foundation Establishment.
But the Perfected Lord status is ultimately there.
So the shadow area presented such a contradictory situation. Clearly guided him over with karma, yet didn't let him in at the last moment.
Speaking of which, it's also easy to solve.
Just find a way to make the shadow area relax vigilance, open the door and let him drive straight in. There are difficulties, but not impossible to achieve.
The simplest method is to extract the [Yellow Court].
But in that case, his cultivation base and status would both drop to the level of Foundation Establishment Perfection, at most falsely holding the golden core position. Not quite fitting his original intention.
After all, I am going to smurf.
If I lower my stature to Foundation Establishment Perfection, in case I encounter some stunning favored child of heaven who can kill me, would I still have any face left?
The lesson of the World Honored One is still before his eyes.
I cannot fail to guard against it!
Thinking of this, Lu Yang still decided to find a way to deceive the sensing of the shadow area, thereby entering the shadow area with the peak posture of a Golden Core Perfected Lord.
Besides, methods are not nonexistent.
I can directly restart, refresh the [Turtle Dove Occupying Magpie's Nest] talent in the next life, then use it to replace a Foundation Establishment Perfection. That should allow me to muddle through.
This is the best method. The talents of the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] still have high value.
A secondary method is for me to consume my own luck, using the [Divining Luck Drawing Lots] talent to forcibly draw a future where I can muddle through.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang rolled his eyes: Actually no need to consume my own luck... Aren't the people in this huge Supreme Imperial World all excellent materials? They cultivated using my blood, owing me karma, naturally they have to pay back. Just let them use their own luck to repay me.
But... still early.
Soon, Lu Yang collected his thoughts, closing his eyes to enter meditation.
After all, according to [Tai]'s statement, there are still ten thousand years before the opening of the Road to Immortality, which for him outside the Supreme Imperial World is one year of time.
This bit of time, he can afford to wait.
Just right, he can also take this opportunity to count the gains in the Celestial Court this time, sort out the future Dao path direction, thereby preparing for the next life.
Inside a pavilion.
A white-robed young man sat on a cushion, suddenly opened his eyes, frowning slightly: "Sword Heart warning... seems some kind of crisis is approaching me."
"Oh? Crisis approaching?"
In the young man's sea of consciousness, an old laughter sounded: "This is interesting. Could it be those demonic path fellow disciples of yours? If it's really so, I see you are doomed, don't even think about leaving this place. Maybe outside there is a Golden Core Perfected Lord eyeing you covetously."
Hearing this, the young man frowned tightly:
"I have said many times, my Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion is the leader of the Righteous Path. Those people in Jiangbei are the Demonic Path. Do not confuse me with them."
"No difference."
The old voice sneered and said: "All birds of a feather from that wretched place named the Immortal Nexus. To us, your collective name is Immortal Nexus Demons."
"This old man sees that although you take an unorthodox path and have deep demonic nature, your fundamental nature is not bad, still salvageable. Plus this old man also wants to return to reality, so I went through untold hardships to find you this opportunity to enter the [Heavenly Being's Remnant Consciousness]. This is the greatest opportunity of your life."
The white-robed young man raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this: "How great?"
"Greater than the sky!" The old voice vibrated: "Looking at the entire void and light sea, this place is probably the last remaining Dao Lord Inheritance!"
