[Sword Edge Gold].
The metal of creation. It cannot be born without water. Using the metal of Shen-You to hold the rightful position of the West, the White Emperor wields authority. Taking the water of Ren-Gui to cast a sharp blade, it becomes strenghtened through a hundred refinements.
With Qi flourishing and reach its extreme, red light shoots towards the Dipper and Ox constellations. Quenched and sharpened by metal and water, the white blade condenses in frost and snow. The function of metal reaches its extreme.
[The Mortal World].
Lu Yang sat upright in the pavilion. On the surface, he was adjusting his breath, recovering the aura disordered by the failure to pass the checkpoint just now. In reality, he was examining himself.
What entered his eyes was a patch of golden white.
What a Supreme Dao Foundation!
Clearly just a Dao foundation, yet he seemed to see a most unyielding and sharp precious sword. Infinite sharp baleful qi reflected infinite brilliant and dazzling light.
Rumble.
The next second, Lu Yang's divine intent landed on this Dao foundation. Then enlightenment emerged in his heart. This was—[White Emperor Authority Dao Foundation].
And around the Dao Foundation, a full four streaks of brilliant light circled ceaselessly. They were precisely Ren-Gui Water and Shen-You Metal. Metal and water aided each other, jointly nourishing the Life-Bound Divine Ability nurtured in the Dao Foundation. Like a precious sword buried deep in its sheath, hiding its edge for a long time, accumulating sword qi, always waiting for the moment to unsheathe.
Another Supreme Dao Fruit Dao Foundation.
Lu Yang's mouth curled slightly. In the previous life, he had seen Perfected One Subduing-Spirits display the profound wonders of [Sword Edge Gold], but looking from the outside and experiencing it personally were still different.
Immediately after, he pinched his fingertips.
Clang!
In an instant, a touch of pure white light lit up at his fingertips. Bursting out at this moment, like the milky way pouring from high above, circling and spiraling, rolling up whistling golden wind.
Just this one streak of light color made Lu Yang sense countless scenes that seemed true yet false. Each scene presented his future actions and results, including killing Long Tu, falling out with Sky-Shrouding, being discovered by [The Mortal World]... shattering and emerging like bubbles.
[Sword Edge Gold]'s Life-Bound Divine Ability!
Lu Yang sensed clearly. This Life-Bound Divine Ability had a total of four wonder, namely [Night Refining], [Shadow Bearing], [Containing Light], and [Heavenly Punishment].
Four wonder, each with its own merits.
[Night Refining] was the lowest, a method of slaying enemies and killing. It could greatly strengthen the mighty power of sword light and sword Qi. To put it bluntly, it boosted the cultivator's stats.
[Shadow Bearing] was in the middle, having the wonder of "slaying one is slaying all." As the name implies, using this method to kill an enemy, even if only killing an incarnation, a spiritual artifact hosting divine intent, or even a talisman, could transmit the damage through the unseen karma connection, directly striking the enemy's main body.
[Containing Light] was the strongest, the sword of karma.
This wonder was formless and substanceless, impossible to sense. Therefore, it couldn't be used to injure enemies or kill lives directly, but it could slay fortune and karma. The effect was equivalent to heavenly punishment.
As long as one was struck by this sword, not only would fortune collapse, becoming muddled and dull, doing many stupid things one wouldn't usually do, but one would also have terrible luck—getting teeth stuck when drinking water, suffering Qi deviation in seclusion, tripping on flat ground while walking... In this way, one could die an unnatural death without even needing to fight.
As for the last one, [Heavenly Execution].
This was the "Method of Slaying the Future" displayed by Perfected One Subduing-Spirits in the past, slaying all variables, anchoring the future to the result one desired.
All these wonders, described as: "Guiding the vast essence to the heavens above, harmonizing living beings on the spiritual crossroads below."
Indeed a good thing.
Lu Yang narrowed his eyes, suddenly somewhat tempted: Perfected One Subduing-Spirits died young. Why don't I fulfill his last wish and seek [Sword Edge Gold] once for him?
After all, this is a Supreme Dao Fruit.
Presumably, if I succeed, Perfected One Subduing-Spirits' spirit in heaven would definitely be gratified.
With this thought, Lu Yang suddenly felt a few palpitations in his heart. He felt that in his consciousness sea, the Dao comprehension cultivated in the past actually generated an inexplicable response at this moment.
In the blink of an eye, I've cultivated three Supreme Dao Fruits!
[City Rampart Earth], [Sword Edge Gold], and [Heavenly Fire].
[Heavenly Fire] needless to say; he knew all corresponding Dao comprehension by heart. And for [Sword Edge Gold], he gained Perfected One Subduing-Spirits' lifelong insights.
The Dao comprehension of these two met the standard.
The only one slightly lacking was [City Rampart Earth]. After all, in that life, he only cultivated to mid-stage Foundation Establishment. But this problem was also easy to solve.
Yuan Tu has already joined the Pure Land at this moment. He should be receiving key cultivation from the Pure Land. I can clearly sense Yuan Tu's cultivation improvement through [Disciple Becomes the Master's Standard]. All his insights and Dao comprehension on [City Rampart Earth] will be fed back to me through the talent...
Therefore, [City Rampart Earth] perfection was only a matter of time.
This feeling was completely different from before. The Dao comprehension corresponding to the three Supreme Dao Fruits seemed to form a quite subtle cycle in the unseen world.
It's still not perfect...
Lu Yang gradually frowned. Although a three-element cycle could form perfection, that strong concept of incompleteness made him feel like a hundred claws were scratching his heart.
He wanted to gather the full Five Elements!
Void attainment... That's right, the Dao comprehension of five Supreme Dao Fruits. This is crucial to me. If I want to void attain, I must have the strongest Five Elements Perfection!
The next second, Lu Yang sank his mind, looking at the three true treasures he had refined before:
[Righteous Dao Banner], [Tribulation Wave], and [Yellow Court]. Each had its own merits and different profound wonders. Previously, they seemed perfect to him, but looking again now, he saw many flaws.
Only one [Heavenly Fire], too singular.
Three true treasures, although having different wonders, they were all based on [Heavenly Fire]. Even the Yellow Court used the [Heavenly Fire] Grotto-Heaven.
He needed more!
After all, his goal was to void attain a super World Realm with complete Five Elements. If limited to one [Heavenly Fire], how could he achieve the goal?
Actually, only the Righteous Dao Banner truly fits the domination concept of [Heavenly Fire]. Tribulation Wave and Yellow Court don't need to be like this at all.
Righteous Dao Banner fits [Heavenly Fire], Tribulation Wave fits [Sword Edge Gold], Yellow Court fits [City Rampart Earth]. In the future, refine two more True Treasures matching [Great Forest Wood] and [Heavenly River Water], gathering Five Elements Perfection. Then void attain with five true treasures... Walking this way fits my expectations!
With this thought, a great ambition suddenly emerged in Lu Yang's heart.
Because for him who possessed [The Book of a Hundred Lifetimes], this idea, which sounded like a fantasy at first hearing, was actually not completely without a chance of realization!
If there had to be a problem—
Thinking of this, Lu Yang opened his eyes, glancing at Sky-Shrouding shrouded in smoke beside him. That's right, the only problem was this old bastard.
But although called a problem, it was actually easy to solve.
As long as I get a wisp of Sky-Shrouding's golden nature, everything is solved... The problem is this old bastard is too cautious, giving no chance at all.
If he didn't give a chance, Lu Yang couldn't extract the golden nature.
At the same time, Sky-Shrouding also perceived Lu Yang's burning gaze. He instantly frowned tightly, his vigilance in his heart already raised to the highest:
"Fellow Daoist?"
Only then did Lu Yang come back to his senses, sighing secretly in his heart, then said indifferently: "No matter... we have no time to lose. Let's inquire about the clues to [Heavenly Being's Remnant Consciousness] first."
After speaking, he looked at Long Tu.
