Observing Feixue was a very bold move.
After all, from the current perspective, Perfected Lord Feixue was the most important link in the Primordial Saint's scheme. The amount of inevitable fate placed on her was exaggeratedly high, and she was paid attention to almost constantly.
Under these circumstances, Lu Yang didn't even dare to appear within ten thousand meters of her.
But for the [Off-Stage Observer] to take effect, I must be personally present. At the very least, it must be a Manifestation Body, otherwise it will be very difficult to complete the observation.
This resulted in an awkward situation.
After all, if you wanted to observe Feixue, you had to personally show up around her. But the moment you personally took action, you would probably be observed by the Primordial Saint.
Fortunately, there are always variables in the Light Sea.
Lu Yang quickly thought of a method to break the deadlock: "[Heavenly Being's Remnant Consciousness]! As long as it's inside the [Heavenly Being's Remnant Consciousness], I don't have to worry about being discovered by the Primordial Saint."
Even better, he happened to have the coordinates of a [Heavenly Being's Remnant Consciousness] in his hands. Not only was it known to everyone, but it could also be delivered into Perfected Lord Feixue's hands in a very reasonable manner, creating the objective conditions to observe Feixue. It was precisely because of this that he dared to have the thought of observing Feixue just now.
Immortal Nexus, Overseas.
Perfected Lord Feixue rode a streak of light, galloping across the vast sea. However, having failed to find those targeted Great Sages of the Monster Race from beginning to end, she then stopped her steps in the clouds.
Following that, she took out a jade slip.
The contents of the jade slip, besides the [Scripture of Spiritual Resonance and Response] used to cultivate [Divine Offering], also contained a sealed karma and coordinates.
[Nourishing Life Master].
"...Ho."
Seeing this, Perfected Lord Feixue abruptly raised an eyebrow. Almost simultaneously, she also felt that terrifying gaze located at an infinitely high and distant place.
Raising her head, she looked at the sky.
In a trance, she seemed to see that minuscule figure. Ever since her Foundation Establishment, that figure had always stood there silently, and she met his gaze.
Perfected Lord Feixue's expression gradually became intrigued.
The fact that I can still see this thing means he doesn't mind me obtaining it. Interesting. Is it because there is something I need right now inside the [Nourishing Life Master]?
This point was actually expected by Lu Yang long ago.
The Primordial Saint actually didn't mind Perfected Lord Feixue entering the [Nourishing Life Master]. Lu Yang had verified this point with his own personal experience many lifetimes ago.
Thinking back to that year, in the lifetime when [Sky-shrouding] first attained the Netherworld, Lu Yang even personally delivered the coordinates of the [Nourishing Life Master] to Perfected Lord Feixue under the identity of a mysterious person. The Primordial Saint didn't slap him to death back then; now that it was delivered by Mu Changsheng, there would be even fewer problems.
Above the clouds and sky, Perfected Lord Feixue sat cross-legged.
She had always been resolute and vigorous. Upon discovering that the Primordial Saint had no intention of stopping her, she immediately decided to enter the [Nourishing Life Master] to investigate first.
The next second, her figure vanished from the spot.
At the same time, in an infinitely high and distant place, that minuscule figure located at the absolute summit of the [Paramita] personally watched his chess piece disappear.
"..."
The seventh layer of the [Paramita].
The barely visible minuscule figure quietly overlooked the mortal world. Within his profound eyes, there seemed to be tens of thousands of stars, as karma and history flowed past one by one.
After a moment, a soft chuckle rang out: "The [Variable] is placing a chess piece."
"Very exquisite. I don't know who it is, but it's placing a chess piece. The [Inevitable Fate] has been leveraged. Interesting. Mu Changsheng, this discarded chess piece, has actually been utilized by someone?"
"Letting Feixue enter the [Nourishing Life Master]... do they want to use the [Heavenly Being's Remnant Consciousness] to shield my sight, quietly meet with her, and lay out plans on her? But Dao Lords cannot enter the [Heavenly Being's Remnant Consciousness]... Does this mean all this was implemented through the hands of a lower-realm cultivator?"
The Primordial Saint deduced with great interest.
However, although he said it was a deduction, his tone actually carried certainty. He was clearly extremely confident in himself, completely not suspecting that his deduction might be wrong.
Or perhaps he just didn't care.
Even if it was wrong, it didn't matter. His style had always been to shoot the arrow first and draw the bullseye later. Even if he made ten thousand mistakes, as long as he was right once, it was worth it.
Therefore, he became even more curious: "Who is the lower-realm cultivator?"
"A cultivator capable of entering the [Heavenly Being's Remnant Consciousness] and placing chess pieces on behalf of a Dao Lord must at least be a Great Perfected Lord. Immortal Bridge? Heaven Treading? Is there still such a person in this world?"
Despite saying this, the minuscule figure had not the slightest worry.
The person laying out the plan clearly had some understanding of the relationship between him and Perfected Lord Feixue, but still not enough understanding. They also didn't know exactly how high his methods were.
Why did he dare to allow Perfected Lord Feixue to enter the [Nourishing Life master]? Knowing full well the existence of such a variable as the [Heavenly Being's Remnant Consciousness], how could he be completely unguarded? The answer was simple—fishing.
Who exactly is placing the chess piece, and which lower-realm cultivator are they using? It will be clear very soon. Thinking of this, the minuscule figure became increasingly unhurried.
[Nourishing Life Master].
When Perfected Lord Feixue opened her eyes, the dazzling array of Dao Fruit scripture immediately caused her pupils to shrink, and then a look of pleasant surprise surfaced in her eyes.
Then she saw the second person in the library.
It was [Mu Changsheng].
Seeing this scene, Perfected Lord Feixue instantly revealed a look of great interest: "It seems Fellow Daoist's sudden rise to prominence isn't entirely without a foundation that can be traced."
"I ask for the Perfected Lord's forgiveness."
Mu Changsheng cupped his hands and said: "I was also forced by helplessness to resort to this poor strategy. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would have been very difficult to have an opportunity for a good chat with the Perfected Lord..."
Before he could finish, Perfected Lord Feixue said cleanly and efficiently:
"Which Dao Lord?
"The World Honored One... Doesn't seem like it. The Sword Pavilion is too normal. Is it the one from the Dao Court? Was your battle with Jiayou merely a smokescreen used to attract me over?"
Hearing this, Mu Changsheng shook his head and didn't answer. Instead, he said on his own: "I am only responsible for delivering this to Fellow Daoist."
Following that, he took out a strand of divine sense.
"...Farewell."
After speaking, Mu Changsheng left the divine sense behind, and his figure instantly dissipated. Clearly, what entered the [Nourishing Life Master] was only an incarnation; his main body wasn't personally present.
Seeing this, Perfected Lord Feixue frowned deeply. After pondering for a moment, she stepped forward to accept this strand of divine sense. She tested it with her own methods, and after confirming there were no problems, she similarly split off a strand of divine sense and sank it within. Before long, her expression turned serious, and she then entered a state of deep meditation.
At the same time, the [Heavenly Palace].
On the Dao platform of [Da Luo Heaven], Lu Yang's main body abruptly opened his eyes, a trace of a smile revealing in the depths of his eyes as he looked at the name surfacing on the panel.
Observation successful!
The next second, he looked at [Mu Changsheng] who had just returned from the [Nourishing Life Master] and smiled: "You have worked hard taking a special trip this time, Fellow Daoist."
"It's nothing."
[Mu Changsheng] waved his hand, then his figure rapidly changed, revealing Pan Huang's true appearance. He asked curiously: "Can this really fool the Primordial Saint?"
"Of course not." Lu Yang shook his head.
His plan to observe Perfected Lord Feixue was actually very simple— have Pan Huang disguise himself as Mu Changsheng to meet Perfected Lord Feixue. As for how he observed Feixue? That strand of divine sense!
The strand of divine sense Pan Huang gave was actually Lu Yang's main body's divine sense. It was precisely by relying on this strand of divine sense that Lu Yang successfully completed the observation.
As for Pan Huang, he was merely a blindfold.
Although there was no evidence, Lu Yang also harbored doubts about Perfected Lord Feixue entering the [Nourishing Life Master] so easily; he always felt something was wrong.
So he did not relax.
Regardless of whether the Primordial Saint has a way to monitor Feixue's every move in the [Nourishing Life Master], I will assume he does, and formulate the plan based on that standard!
For this reason, before entering the [Nourishing Life Master], he even casually grabbed a little demon overseas and cast [Dove Occupying the Magpie's Nest], putting a layer of outerwear over his divine sense. Although it was a bit wasteful, it was also to ensure that the Primordial Saint absolutely couldn't trace it back to him.
However, giving the Primordial Saint absolutely no clues wouldn't do either.
It might even be highly counterproductive.
According to my understanding of that old thing, if there are absolutely no clues, he will instead flip the table and kill all the suspects.
So he had to give him a small clue.
And as Sisui's former head disciple, Pan Huang was the most perfect clue, sufficient to resolve all of the Primordial Saint's doubts and misdirect his train of thought!
