Although he had decided to major in the Heaven-Mending True Scripture, Lu Yang had no personal selfish motives. It was completely out of consideration for his Dao path that he had to do so.
Speaking of which, the Heaven-Mending True Scripture was actually long outdated.
Thinking back to that year, when he was still at the Foundation Establishment stage, the Heaven-Mending True Scripture had been a mighty weapon. Chen Xin'an and his son were like two generals under his command. Whenever they encountered disobedient male cultivators, they would step up to interrogate them.
Of course, Lu Yang wasn't an unreasonable person. Knowing it was too hard on them to handle all the interrogations, he would often share the workload. For example, he generally handled the female cultivators himself.
It was a pity. As he broke through to the Golden Core and his opponents rose to the level of Perfected Lords, the Heaven-Mending True Scripture, which was effective only against Foundation Establishment cultivators, became obsolete.
But strictly speaking, the Heaven-Mending True Scripture shouldn't stop at Foundation Establishment. After all, the First Generation Heaven-Mending Peak Master had started as at least a Great Perfected Lord. For the technique he left behind to become useless at the Golden Core stage... this didn't quite fit the identity of a First Generation Peak Master. Nine out of ten chances, he had deliberately held something back when passing down the heritage.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang stood up.
He remembered his exploration of Heaven-Mending Peak in his previous life. Inside the peak, there was an ancestral hall with a spirit tablet set up inside.
At that time, the [Immortal Nexus Survival Guide] had even given a warning: [Small Trap, try not to touch].
Back then, he had just restarted and possessed only a Dao Body, with strength merely at the level of a False-Holding Gold Position. He hadn't dared to act recklessly and left the secret of the spirit tablet unexplored.
However, things were different now.
He had inherited the cultivation of his previous life. His strength was so formidable that below the level of a Great Perfected Lord, probably only the mid-stage Golden Core [Sky-Shrouding] could fight him.
A mere spirit tablet... could it still kill me?
With this thought, Lu Yang set off immediately, transforming into a breeze as he quietly snuck into Heaven-Mending Peak and arrived at the ancestral hall hidden in the void.
A spirit tablet immediately came into view.
[Ancestral Master of the Moon Palace, Whose Sacred Light Shines in Shadow]
Speaking of which, at that time I even thought this might be the Immortal Venerable Taiyin of the Celestial Court. But thinking about it later, that guess might not be quite right.
Immortal Venerable Taiyin possessed a Dao Fruit. Her Void Attainment Dao Fruit was [Money], and she also controlled the Celesetial Court's Supreme Dao Fruit [Taiyin Damp Earth]. However, these two seemed somewhat incompatible with the Heaven-Mending True Scripture. At most, the [Money] Dao Fruit could have a tiny bit of connection with it.
Let's just take a look!
Lu Yang reached out and grabbed the spirit tablet. As the saying goes, a strong person is bold. He couldn't be bothered to probe cautiously; instead, he poured his divine sense directly into it.
Boom.
In an instant, Lu Yang felt his divine sense touch another, extremely deeply hidden consciousness. The two collided, blended, then erupted rapidly.
Trying to pull my consciousness in?
Wishful thinking!
Lu Yang's gaze shifted slightly as he sensed a treacherous attraction force. However, his Dao Heart was perfect. This level of force simply couldn't shake him.
Both sides remained deadlocked for a while. Finally, the divine sense inside the spirit tablet surrendered voluntarily, pouring out to encompass Lu Yang's consciousness.
The next second, Lu Yang saw his vision split into two. One part remained in the ancestral hall, while the other arrived in a magnificent palace. There was no furniture in the hall, only a pink double bed shrouded by four curtains.
There was also a looming, beautiful figure on the bed.
Soon, as Lu Yang's gaze fell upon the scene, silver bell-like laughter rang out from behind the curtains, instantly provoking uncontrollable desire.
"How many years has it been?"
"Truly, one generation is worse than the last. For so many years I've been lonely to the point of madness. Finally, a junior at the Golden Core level has come to fill the void."
Lu Yang's expression instantly became serious.
"...First Generation Peak Master?"
"Exactly this humble one."
As the voice fell, the curtains lifted, and the beautiful figure revealed its true face. What met his eyes was a shocking, jade-like luster, white and somewhat dazzling.
On the big bed lay a peerless beauty on her side, a delicate hand pillowed by her ear. Her vermilion lips were like fire, exhaling a sweet and harmonious breath. Between breaths, there were slight panting sounds that hooked the soul. Not a thread covered her body; only a purple palace dress, half-worn and half-draped, concealed her torso.
Lu Yang was instantly stunned.
A woman?
To be honest, as a senior researcher of the Heaven-Mending True Scripture, he had always felt the First Generation Heaven-Mending Peak Master who created such a marvelous technique should be a man.
Because the Heaven-Mending True Scripture had too many position. Especially regarding men harvesting women, the variety was incredibly diverse. On the other hand, while there were also many for women harvesting men, they were inferior to the former.
"This humble one is Bu Tianque."
Looking at Lu Yang, the peerless beauty on the bed raised her red lips slightly, revealing a smile. "This humble one guesses you are doubting why this one is a woman, right?"
"...Fellow Daoist has wise eyes." Lu Yang nodded.
"Too young! Your perspective is too narrow!"
Bu Tianque covered her mouth and chuckled. "But this is also normal. "However, this is also normal. After all, the Heaven-Mending True Scripture this humble one left behind was originally more inclined toward methods suited for men."
"Thinking back, it was just this slave being too young. having achieved the Golden Core not long before, my understanding of the Yin-Yang Great Dao was far from thorough enough. That's why I was entangled with a stinking skin bag... But when this humble one left this divine sense in the spirit tablet, I had already thoroughly comprehended the profound mystery of Yin-Yang."
"So this humble one appears in this form."
Lu Yang: "..."
Listening to Bu Tianque's explanation, an unsettling guess faintly arose in Lu Yang's heart. After a moment of silence, he asked a question in a deep voice:
"[Celestial Mother Transformation Profound Light]... was left by Fellow Daoist?"
"...Hmm?"
As soon as these words came out, Bu Tianque instantly revealed a look of pleasant surprise. "So Fellow Daoist is also a person of the same path. No wonder Fellow Daoist has fate with me!"
Lu Yang's face instantly turned livid.
No doubt about it, this Bu Tianque... should be a man! The appearance of this peerless beauty now is actually the result of Yin-Yang reversal!
Seeing his reaction, Bu Tianque blinked her beautiful eyes.
"Oh? It seems Fellow Daoist still can't quite accept it. The Yin-Yang Great Dao, Heaven and Man Transformation—these are just skin bags. What difference is there between male and female?"
"No need to say more."
Lu Yang waved his hand. "I only ask Fellow Daoist one thing. Does the Heaven-Mending True Scripture have even more profound methods? If there are, can you hand them over to me?"
"Of course there are."
Bu Tianque nodded. "The [Heaven-Mending True Scripture] was created when this one was still a man—before my cultivation reached great success. Strictly speaking, it's just the upper half. Later, I reversed Yin-Yang, creating another technique with a female body named [Dao-Devouring Demonic Art]. This counts as the lower half."
"Two parts combined, upper and lower as one, is my fundamental Dao method."
"Fellow Daoist wants it?"
Speaking of this, Bu Tianque shook her head somewhat regretfully. "Pity. With Fellow Daoist's temperament and aptitude, you should not be able to obtain the [Dao-Devouring Demonic Art]."
"Why?" Lu Yang frowned.
Hearing this, Bu Tianque spread her hands, not caring at all that the purple robe on her body was shaken off, revealing everything completely, only giggling:
"This humble one sees Fellow Daoist also understands the Heaven-Mending True Scripture somewhat. Could you not understand? Our Heaven-Mending Peak imparting techniques has always required teaching by words and example... If Fellow Daoist really wants to get the [Dao-Devouring Demonic Art], then the only way is to first harvent this humble one and obtain the specific method."
"Then..."
As she spoke, Bu Tianque's figure suddenly began to change. The originally soft, large pectoral muscles became hard. The graceful figure also became sturdy.
In a moment, he changed appearance.
No longer a peerless beauty, he turned into a heroic man with a body like it was carved by knife and axe—handsome in appearance, his whole body filled with masculine qi.
"...Then I will provide hands-on instruction."
The heroic man thrust out his chest and laughed lightly. "Under my guidance, you will personally test the Dao-Devouring Demonic Art once... Only then can it be considered mastered."
"How about it? Does Fellow Daoist wish to learn?"
"If you truly wish to learn, I will not be stingy in imparting it."
"Rest assured, I will be very gentle."
