"For the sake of all living being..."
Hearing Lu Yang's words, Tianhun's expression looked extremely bizarre. You're not even a Nascent Soul Dao Lord, yet you think it's your turn to speak the words 'for the sake of all living being'.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Lu Yang didn't mind and smiled: "For the sake of all living being, I have two matters that require Fellow Daoist's help this time."
Now that's more like it!
Hearing this, Tianhun's spirits were instantly lifted, and he hurriedly cupped his hands: "Senior, please speak freely."
At this point, Lu Yang held up two fingers and said: "First, I need Fellow Daoist to be used by me. I have a major task that requires Fellow Daoist's help."
This was also a concept Lu Yang had in the lifetime before the last.
That was, after gathering the consciousness of all living beings, could he pile up a massive collective consciousness in the Dark Aspect of the Light Sea, and then use it to oppose the Primordial Spirit of a Dao Lord?
Lu Yang hadn't tried it, but he knew Sisui had experimented with it and even succeeded to a certain extent. When Pan Huang and the other eleven Dharma Body Dao Great Perfected Lords formed an array and cooperated with the [Dao-Conquering Tianhun Diagram], they could link their Dao Hearts together. In the lifetime before the last, they had used this to interfere with the Sword Lord's actions at one point.
"Just this?"
Tianhun was seen blinking, then nodding on the spot: "As long as Senior can pass the test left by my master, I am naturally willing to be used by Senior."
What the heck, so he was just craving my body.
It's not that strange, though. After all, I am a Supreme Treasure. It's human nature to desire me. Not to mention, I've grown tired of staying in this place long ago.
Despite saying this, Tianhun didn't dare to agree directly.
After all, Sisui's last words back then explicitly stipulated the content of the test. Although he wanted to leave very much, he was unwilling to violate his master's dying wish.
Therefore, he was still somewhat apprehensive.
After all, what test could he speak of to a Heaven Treading Great Perfected Lord? If he angered the other party and they decided to use force instead of persuasion, he would probably have no choice but to self-detonate.
Fortunately, Lu Yang showed no dissatisfaction with this. Instead, he smiled and said:
"That is natural."
"I also have some understanding of Lord Sisui's test. It's nothing more than awakening Fellow Daoist Pan Huang and the others. The current situation is difficult, and this will also be helpful to our great cause."
Tianhun was dumbfounded.
This person actually knows what the master's test specifically entails?
But since he knows everything, yet isn't worried about any tricks, and is even willing to respect the master's dying wish, he really doesn't seem like those Grotto-Heaven Method demons...
Thinking of this, Tianhun's impression of Lu Yang improved quite a bit.
However, he still maintained caution. With the Primordial Saint as a prime example, he was also worried that Lu Yang was playing mind games with him, building up merit just to pit him hard later.
"Then Senior, what about the second matter?"
As his words fell, Tianhun was also extremely vigilant in his heart.
After all, if the first matter was about building up merit, which was why he was so easy to talk to, then the second matter would definitely be cashing in that merit.
Then he heard Lu Yang say in a calm tone: "The second matter: I need Fellow Daoist Pan Huang and the others to switch their Dao Lineage cultivation. This is also the condition for their resurrection."
A full twelve Great Perfected Lords of the Dharma Body Dao. Lu Yang had no doubt that as long as he brought them all under the governance of the [Heavenly Palace] and within the Dao Lineage of the Investiture of the Gods Method, it could definitely elevate his stature further, bringing the [Heavenly Palace] closer to Golden Core Perfection. Of course, doing so also carried hidden dangers.
For example... what was it again?
Lu Yang frowned, subconsciously feeling that something was wrong. His visit to Tianhun this time seemed to have a third matter to attend to, but what was it exactly?
He couldn't remember.
If this were normal times, Lu Yang would have already bristled with alarm. However, this time, he very ordinarily tossed this massive doubt to the back of his mind.
Forget it, there's no rush.
I'll finish the first two matters first.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang regained his composure and looked at Tianhun, who was frowning deeply in front of him. After careful consideration, Tianhun shook his head helplessly:
"I'm sorry, Senior."
"Switching Dao Lineages is impossible. Pan Huang and the others are Lord Sisui's most loyal disciples. It is absolutely impossible for them to abandon the Dharma Body Dao just for resurrection."
"Nothing is impossible."
Lu Yang chuckled lightly: "If I said that the only way to rescue Lord Sisui is to abandon the Dharma Body Dao, would they still be unwilling?"
"What...?"
Before his words fell, Tianhun, who had just looked calm, immediately stood up, his heart filled with shock and doubt: "Rescue master? You have a way to rescue master?"
As a Supreme Treasure forged by Sisui in the past, Tianhun knew Sisui's current situation better than anyone. Blockaded by the [Heavenly Dao] and guarded by the World Honored One, it was simply as solid as an iron barrel without any chance to exploit a loophole. Let alone rescuing Sisui, even finding the entrance to the false history was incredibly difficult.
Can the person before me do it?
Instantly, a slight fire of hope suddenly ignited in Tianhun's heart. But soon, rationality calmed his emotions, and he let out a deep sigh:
"Empty words carry no proof."
"If Fellow Daoist truly has confidence, why not personally awaken Pan Huang and the others and then persuade them? If you can do it, I naturally won't interfere arbitrarily."
"That's not bad either."
Lu Yang chuckled: "Since that's the case, I ask Fellow Daoist to send me into the Dark Aspect of the Light Sea. I also want to meet Fellow Daoist Pan Huang and that Great Sword Ancestor."
As soon as these words came out, Tianhun was instantly shocked.
This person actually even knows about the Great Sword Ancestor!
Who exactly is he?
Looking at Lu Yang's half-smiling expression, Tianhun didn't dare to hide anything amidst his fear and shock, hurriedly saying: "Regarding the matter of the Great Sword Ancestor, I was just about to explain to Senior..."
The Dark Aspect of the Light Sea.
Boom!
As Lu Yang's figure entered this ocean of unconsciousness, his Light-Chasing Dao Heart immediately erupted with dazzling light, like a fire in the darkness.
In the Dark Aspect of the Light Sea, this fire of consciousness symbolizing order appeared incredibly piercing.
Instantly, a massive number of disordered and chaotic storms were triggered, seeking to blow out the fire formed by Lu Yang's consciousness. This was the main theme of the Dark Aspect of the Light Sea.
"...The Great Sword Ancestor."
Lu Yang surveyed the Dark Aspect and soon saw the place where the consciousness of Pan Huang and the other eleven Great Perfected Lords slumbered, as well as the extremely suppressed sword chime deep within.
The Sword Lord's head disciple, one person with three spirits.
The Great Perfected Lord who was legendary for being the closest to Golden Core Perfection, yet was ultimately forged into a sword by the Sword Lord, leaving only three masterless Fasting of the Mind Sword Spirits in the Dark Aspect of the Light Sea.
Such a person must definitely possess extremely intense residual concepts of [Destiny] on them!
Based on this point alone, Lu Yang was determined to get them.
Moreover, Lu Yang felt that these three masterless Fasting of the Mind Sword Spirits might also be a fortuitous encounter for his master, Vanquishing-Demon. Thus, he couldn't let them go even more.
"Oh, right."
Thinking of this, Lu Yang finally suddenly "remembered" what the third matter he had forgotten just now was: I forgot to ask Tianhun about the cultivation of the Primordial Spirit Dao Heart.
Forget it, there's no rush either.
Lu Yang blinked. At first, he felt something was wrong, but thinking carefully, it seemed there was nothing wrong. Nobody's perfect; forgetting momentarily was understandable.
Turning back to ask now... didn't seem necessary either.
He would just wait until he finished handling the matters in the Dark Aspect and then ask Tianhun after coming out.
