Celestial Court, Ninth Layer.
Under the Moon Laurel Tree, Immortal Venerable Taiyin sat cross-legged. Behind her, the [Sea of Bitterness] opened wide, and a path to heaven was gradually rising from beneath the ten thousand zhang seawater.
However, this process was obviously extremely difficult. With Immortal Venerable Taiyin's cultivation base, she was also tormented to exhaustion. Even her essence, qi, and spirit were hard to maintain. After a moment, her delicate body trembled violently, fragrant sweat dripping, brows furrowed tightly. Only after barely stabilizing that path to heaven did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Years of hard work, finally not in vain."
Immortal Venerable Taiyin exhaled orchid fragrance, thinking to herself: As long as I merge this broken Great Dao into my [Money], it can help me soar to the sky.
Immediately following, she looked at [Vajradhatu Acala Tathagata] in the distance.
Its a pity that Sisui's eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body all exploded, and the corresponding dao fruits also completely collapsed. To re-gather them, don't know how long it will take.
If not for this, having been in charge of the Celestial Court for nearly five thousand years, almost merging the influence of the [Money] Dao Fruit into the achievement of the Celestial Court's Six Qi and Twenty-Four Dao Fruits, as long as she merged the broken Great Dao into [Money], she could immediately start breaking through, charging towards the Dao Lord position she dreamed of.
In this way, there would be at least ten percent chance of success.
However, after Sisui self-destructed his eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body, all dao fruits except Taiyin were destroyed. Breaking through at this time, there wouldn't even be half a percent chance.
Thinking of this, Immortal Venerable Taiyin couldn't help pursing her lips:
Little Junior Brother...
If not for Lu Yang messing around and ruining her arrangement, things would absolutely not have fallen to the current state. It really made her feel both admiration and anger in her heart.
Never mind, never mind... The plan for now is only to wait.
Immortal Venerable Taiyin took a deep breath, quickly calming all emotions. She had waited for so many years; naturally, she didn't mind waiting for another period of time.
Immediately, she looked up at [Vajradhatu Acala Tathagata].
The other party sat upright on the lotus platform, expression serene, palms put together, silently chanting in his mouth. Buddhist light turned into a treasure wheel slowly rotating behind his head.
Seeming to be deducing something.
After a long time, this Great Buddha opened his eyes, revealing a look of doubt:
"Lu Yang, Du Huan, Saint Sect Perfected Lord... Good, good, good. Never thought this person still had such a big secret. No matter how I deduce, I cannot find his karma."
"Where exactly did he go."
This was hard to imagine for [Vajradhatu Acala Tathagata], because he was already in the highest rank among the enlightened bodies of the World Honored One.
Generally speaking, the stronger the cultivation base of the World Honored One's enlightened body and the higher the sequence, the more memories and knowledge inherited from the World Honored One. With his status comparable to a Great Perfected Lord, there was basically nothing in the entire void darkness light sea that could hide from his gaze and calculation.
Unless... its involving a Dao Lord?
Thinking of this, [Vajradhatu Acala Tathagata] was instantly startled: Could it be that the one from the Saint Sect showed great compassion and saved the person?
It can't be.
For a time,[Vajradhatu Acala Tathagata] was somewhat indecisive. Finally, he sighed helplessly, still giving up on continuing to investigate Lu Yang.
No matter how small the matter, if it involves a Dao Lord, it is a big matter.
Its better not investigate.
In case something is really found out.
Immediately, he glanced at Immortal Venerable Taiyin not far away. The expression on his face remained unchanged, but he sneered in his heart: Ultimately it like a moth flying into the fire.
Plotting for thousands of years, but only ten percent chance of success.
With just this and you still want to seek the Dao Lord Position?
Seeking death!
Moreover, the last Dao Lord Inheritance in the world was destroyed by the World Honored One as early as 129,600 years ago. How could it be left for lower cultivators to use?
...
Supreme Imperial World.
Lu Yang sat in the void. The [Righteous Dao Banner] fluttered in the wind. On the banner surface, a young man with a straight back slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a mouthful of turbid air.
"Congratulations Fellow Daoist Suo Huan."
Lu Yang instantly showed a heartfelt smile, cupping his hands: "Comprehending the Dao this time, you are the last to wake up. Presumably, the gains must be great."
"You flatter me."
Suo Huan waved his hand awkwardly: "It is my limited aptitude that made me wake up last... But as Fellow Daoist said, there are indeed some gains this time."
As his voice fell, Suo Huan spread open his palm. Rippling water light gathered in his palm, reflecting heavenly light. It was exactly the fundamental profound wonder of [Wellspring Water], [Shared Nourishment], which could take on injuries for others, heal injuries, and recover spiritual power. However, at this moment, this profound wonder gave birth to a brand new change.
"Hmm? This is..."
Lu Yang was stunned upon seeing this, actually sensing a trace of threat from this dao fruit profound wonder originally specialized in support. Strange colors instantly appeared in his eyes.
"This is yet another ingenious application of Shared Nourishment."
"In the past, using this wonder meant shouldering injuries for others. But now, beyond injuries, it can even borrow an opponent's unharmed body when activated."
Lu Yang raised an eyebrow. "If you borrow someone's unharmed body, what happens to the one being borrowed from?"
Suo Huan's expression immediately turned strange. He grinned and replied, "Naturally—they become injured. However much I borrow, that same amount of injury is inflicted on them."
"Hiss…"
Before Suo Huan even finished speaking, Lu Yang grasped the sinister brilliance of this technique. Borrowing an unharmed body? It was clearly just another way of transfering damage.
This was practically wearing reflective damage armor.
With this divine enhancement, Suo Huan was like a hedgehog—strike him, and you only hurt yourself. There was simply no good way to engage him, making it utterly headache.
What made it even more terrifying was that attacking others didn't help either. He could take their injuries onto himself, then use the enemy's unharmed body to repair his own. The result is the enemy crippled, Suo Huan unharmed. From a support perspective, it was flawless.
"That said, it's not so easy to use."
Seeing Lu Yang's reaction, Suo Huan shook his head. "With my current cultivation, I can't borrow an intact body out of thin air. I need to fight first and gather their aura before activating it."
"That part can be left to me," Lu Yang said calmly.
Lu Yang laughed loudly: "Fellow Daoist just came out of seclusion, enter the [Righteous Dao Banner] to stabilize aura first. Or can enter my [Yellow Court] to help me advise on the Water Concept within."
"[Yellow Court]?" Suo Huan showed curiosity upon hearing this.
"It is the true treasure I recently refined."
Lu Yang tapped his brow center lightly. Instantly, circles of colorful light rippled out, making the light spot at his brow center increasingly striking, as if a great thousand world was rotating within.
"Fellow Daoist can go in and explore."
Suo Huan nodded upon hearing this: "Alright."
As his voice fell, he drove a streak of light and submerged into the [Yellow Court]. Lu Yang nodded with satisfaction seeing this, expecting more and more in his heart.
With [Yellow Court] achieved, gathering cultivators to cultivate immortals. With Patriarch Nether Whisper, Master Vanquishing-Demon, and Fellow Daoist Suo Huan—the three of them helping me, it is enough to make up for deficiencies step by step and grow stronger. If restarting this time, no matter what, I must bring [Yellow Court] back.
I have to think of a proper way...
Suddenly, Lu Yang's heart moved slightly.
Years are not counted in chaos. Just a short adjustment of breath, in the blink of an eye, one year passed. And inside the Supreme Imperial World, ten thousand years of spring and autumn had already passed.
At this moment, Lu Yang finally sensed a divine and strange aura appearing out of thin air inside the Supreme Imperial World.
The Road to Immortality has opened!
Lu Yang looked up. Thousands of magnificent lights gathered in his eyes, piercing through the sea of stars, looking straight at where that divine and strange aura was. What met his eyes was impressively a portal.
"Waited for eternity, finally this day has come!"
"The Immortal Road is about to open!"
"Kill our way in!"
Almost simultaneously, inside the Supreme Imperial World, spiritual senses awakened one after another in the major Forbidden Zones, looking toward the portal with intense joy and emotion.
