Chapter 966 - Placing a Chess Piece

[Nourishing Life Master].

Perfected Lord Feixue sat cross-legged, the aura around her body turbulent. However, her consciousness flew boundlessly, as if she had arrived in a towering and boundless palace.

Of course, this wasn't the [Heavenly Palace].

Everything was an illusion created by Lu Yang's strand of divine sense. He didn't dare to send Perfected Lord Feixue into the [Heavenly Palace] at this time; the risk was too great.

On the Dao platform of [Da Luo Heaven], Lu Yang lowered his eyelids.

As a colorful talent, the uses of the [Off-Stage Observer] were very rich.

Whether it was the previous [Designating a Script] or [Playing on Someone's Behalf], those were merely among its uses. Besides those, there was an even more fundamental use.

As the name implies, it was [Observation].

At this moment, the colorful light of the [Off-Stage Observer] was shining brightly in his eyes. Soon, large chunks of text surfaced one after another:

[Perfected Lord Qingcheng Feixue]

[Born in the first history of the Light Sea, the true spirit of the Huai River Dragon Lord was reborn, transformed into a baby girl, and flowed into the second history of the Light Sea. After being adopted, she joined the Primordial Saint Sect.]

[From then on, refining true qi, establishing the Dao foundation, and attaining a Dao Fruit—her cultivation journey was unimpeded. No matter how great the danger she encountered, she could always turn ill luck into good. However, despite appearing glamorous, she was actually locked dead by layers of inevitable fate long ago. She was invincible all the way, but there was only one path she could walk.]

[Until the Primordial Saint triggered his layout.]

[The Ancestral Dragon emerged from the Netherworld, borrowed the body of the old Dragon Lord, and used "Seizing the Huai River" to take her Dao Fruit, physical body, and soul. She struggled fruitlessly before dying with regrets.]

This was Perfected Lord Feixue's ending.

In the lifetime before the last, if [Sky-shrouding] and I hadn't intervened, she wouldn't have even had the chance to self-detonate. Everything about her was practically locked dead by the Primordial Saint.

The crux of it was Seizing the Huai River.

As long as the Ancestral Dragon still possessed the concept of [Seizing the Huai River], no matter what level Perfected Lord Feixue's cultivation reached, it was impossible for her to escape his control.

If she wants to break the deadlock, the only way is to resolve the problem of [Seizing the Huai River].

What was [Seizing the Huai River]?

To put it plainly, it meant that Perfected Lord Feixue was the reincarnated true spirit of the Huai River Dragon Lord from the first history, and the Huai River Dragon Lord was personally killed by the Ancestral Dragon back then.

This segment of history occurred in the first history, which is today's false history. Then, as a possibility of the false history, it was brought out by the Ancestral Dragon. Just like when I attained [Heavenly Fire] before, as long as this possibility is executed, it can instantly turn what happened in the false history into reality.

In short, [Seizing the Huai River] was a special attack against Feixue.

Therefore, when the Primordial Saint shaped the second history, he deleted the [Eternal Flowing Water] Dragon Lord from history, turning the original six Dragon Lords into five.

Of course, this arrangement wasn't entirely without flaws.

The simplest method to break the deadlock is to nurture a new [Eternal Flowing Water] Dragon Lord.

Because the Huai River Dragon Lord was the [Eternal Flowing Water] Dragon Lord. If there was a new [Eternal Flowing Water] Dragon Lord, the target of [Seizing the Huai River] would be changed.

Unfortunately, this path was also blocked dead by the Primordial Saint. Mu Changsheng originally had hope of becoming the [Eternal Flowing Water] Dragon Lord, but his soul was snatched away out of thin air.

Resulting in failing right on the verge of success in the end.

From this, it can be seen that this path is definitely unworkable. Since that's the case, there are only two other paths left to walk.

The first path was to be converted by the World Honored One.

In this regard, the value of 'one mind' was still very high. As long as Feixue was converted by the World Honored One, no [Seizing the Huai River] would be of any use against her.

So the second path was a bit more reliable.

Being converted by me.

In short, it meant using the profundity of [Fate Revolution] to forcibly incorporate Perfected Lord Feixue under the command of the Investiture of the Gods Method, using this to evade the influence of [Seizing the Huai River].

This method was more feasible.

There was only one problem—how to deceive the Primordial Saint.

Forcibly stuffing such a massive wonder as [Fate Revolution] into Perfected Lord Feixue's body—even if it wasn't activated, it would be impossible to hide it from the Primordial Saint's eyes.

However—Heaven never seals off all exits.

Deceiving the Primordial Saint's eyes isn't entirely without a way.

Someone has done it before.

Thinking of this, Lu Yang took a deep breath. Watching Perfected Lord Feixue go deeper and deeper into his divine sense, a hint of nervousness gradually surfaced in the depths of his eyes.

Within the palace created by the divine sense.

Perfected Lord Feixue walked all the way forward and soon arrived at an empty study room. Pushing the door open and entering, she immediately saw a scripture placed on the desk.

Focusing her eyes to look.

Instantly, intelligence regarding the Huai River Dragon Lord, information about the Ancestral Dragon, and all messages related to her own life experience flowed into Perfected Lord Feixue's heart.

The sheer volume of information and the ferocity of the impact made even Perfected Lord Feixue, with her cultivation, unable to hold back a muffled groan. She took a step back under the overwhelming burden, her high bosom heaving violently a few times. Only after a long time did she regain her calm. When she opened her beautiful eyes again, they were filled with astonishment and anger.

It's actually like this?

Is it true or false?

As a Perfected Lord of the Saint Sect, she almost instinctively suspected the intelligence she saw, until she discovered a foreign object in her sea of consciousness.

This is...

Perfected Lord Feixue's gaze focused slightly. It was a cluster of grayish color, within which a crimson hue faintly flickered, yet she couldn't see the true appearance of the color clearly.

As one of the Primordial Saint's most important chess pieces, Perfected Lord Feixue made the correct judgment almost instantly.

Someone has placed a chess piece on me! Are they trying to target the Primordial Saint? It doesn't make sense. Is that grayish color some kind of concealment method? How can he be sure this can deceive the Primordial Saint?

At this moment, Perfected Lord Feixue's thoughts were a whirlwind.

But in the end, she actually calmed down.

Interesting. Do they want to have a battle with that old thing? Since that's the case, I will help you accomplish it.

She was even somewhat looking forward to it.

For so many years, from her Foundation Establishment until now, it wasn't that she hadn't thought about resisting the Primordial Saint's control, it was just that she had never succeeded.

She even faintly understood herself.

Before this, there should have also been Dao Lords who attempted to tamper with me, but they were all discovered by the Primordial Saint and then dealt with completely clean.

Now another one has come; can he succeed?

With this thought, Perfected Lord Feixue withdrew from the palace created by the divine sense, and then watched as this strand of divine sense shattered bit by bit in her hand.

I hope it succeeds.

The next second, Perfected Lord Feixue left the [Nourishing Life Master].

Then, her consciousness fell into an expanse of darkness. All her thoughts stopped at the previous instant, like an ant sealed in amber.

Immortal Nexus, Overseas.

Lu Yang, who had been waiting for a long time, held his breath at this moment while staring at the outside world through Perfected Lord Feixue's eyes using the [Off-Stage Observer].

At this moment, heaven and earth were silent.

Lu Yang saw that above Perfected Lord Feixue's head, an illusory spirit seemed to be pulled up, leaving the physical body, continuously approaching an infinitely high and distant place.

That was a hand.

A palm larger than the overseas region, or even larger than the entire Immortal Nexus. It just slowly lifted upwards, carrying Perfected Lord Feixue all the way ascending upwards.

And during this process, this palm also became smaller and smaller. From originally spanning across the Immortal Nexus, it became comparable to a continent, then the size of an island. Afterwards, it continued to shrink until it completely took on the appearance of an ordinary person. Only then did the palm's lifting slowly stop, seemingly having finally reached its limit.

At the same time, Perfected Lord Feixue was also shrinking.

In her already solidified line of sight, the first-person perspective fundamentally couldn't reflect any scenery. Only Lu Yang could glimpse a little scenery through the third-person perspective.

That was an eye.

Not because the other party only revealed one eye, but because the other party's face was truly too majestic; the minuscule him could only see one eye.

The towering pupil was like a world realm. The flowing light surging within was like stars being born and dying. Carrying a coldness that remained the same through all eternity, almost akin to the Dao, it indifferently observed Perfected Lord Feixue in its hand. Yet its gaze seemed to cross over Perfected Lord Feixue, staring straight at Lu Yang standing behind her.

Heh, so it's a little fish."
