[The Eastern Sovereign Defying the Heaven]
The moment Perfected One Yu Hua spoke these four words, Lu Yang's gaze fell upon the jade slip he had handed over earlier, a hint of a smile appearing in the depths of his eyes.
Prior to this, the contents of the jade slip were exactly as Perfected One Yu Hua had described: some unwritten records without any concrete historical facts, at most some unofficial histories. However, when the four words [The Eastern Sovereign Defying the Heaven] sounded, it was as if a key had unlocked a dust-covered lock.
Brand new content emerged from history.
This was a profound wonder that would only automatically trigger when a designated person heard the keywords [The Eastern Sovereign Defying the Heaven].
Knowledge-Perception Barrier!
In the next second, Lu Yang saw a detailed description of [The Eastern Sovereign Defying the Heaven] within the jade slip. This hidden segment of history was now decrypted for him.
"The time was thirty years ago."
"As expected, Ling Xiao arrived at the Immortal Nexus in the false history earlier than I did. And unlike me and Miao Le, he encountered a completely different set of troubles."
Among the three, Ling Xiao was the most unique. Miao Le had his own Dream Dao, and Lu Yang now used the [Heavenly Palace] as his foundation. Only Ling Xiao was a pure grotto-heaven method cultivator, and he even commanded five Dao Fruits. This caused him trouble in his actions within the false history.
Simply put:
"After entering the false history, he was disconnected from the Dao Fruits of the present world. Among the false history's Dao Fruits, only the [Great Forest Wood] still responded to his summons."
"Fortunately, this wasn't his first time entering the false history, so he was prepared for this."
"Although he was disconnected from the Dao Fruits of the present world, as long as he reserved a portion of profound wonder as a stockpile, he could still maintain his cultivation for a period of time."
"Taking advantage of this time, he launched a sneak attack on the Heavenly Lord. He once again used [Inversion] to reverse the Chen Earth, borrowing the Five Elements Dao Fruits of the false history. This is the [The Eastern Sovereign Defying the Heaven] recorded in the ancient texts. However, this wasn't all. After restoring his cultivation, Ling Xiao did even more."
Thinking of this, Lu Yang suddenly frowned.
Because the ancient texts recorded that after[The Eastern Sovereign Defying the Heaven], that "Eastern Sovereign" had once spoken a paragraph of words for everyone to hear, right in front of the entire Immortal Nexus.
But what exactly was said was surprisingly not recorded.
"...No, it's not that it wasn't recorded."
It was hidden.
In the next second, a flash of inspiration hit Lu Yang. He directly lit up profound wonder on his fingertips, using the crimson radiance transformed from [Fate Revolution] to gently brush over the jade slip.
In an instant, everything became clear.
The record that should have been blank suddenly re-emerged with text. It was the exact continuation he had just been looking for, what that "Eastern Sovereign" had said to everyone:
[Fellow Daoist, you're watching, right.]
[By the time you see this, my condition probably isn't very good. I'm most likely suppressed. However, my plan should have succeeded.]
[I've found a method to contact Sisui.]
[Simply put, Sisui is in the more distant past. The only way to contact him is to use the profound wonder of the 'City Rampart Earth' to trace back karma.]
[However, the 'City Rampart Earth' is controlled by the Heavenly Lord here. He doesn't seem to want Sisui to return, so I managed to snatch the 'City Rampart Earth' from him. To prevent him from taking it back, I hid it within the 'Dao-Attaining Hidden Profound Palace' and placed it in Jiangdong.]
[After all, Jiangdong has the Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws.]
[The Dao Court's Acting on Behalf of Heaven Dao still has some substance. It can blur the Heavenly Lord's senses to a certain extent, preventing him from pinpointing the hidden location.]
Good heavens.
"As expected of you!"
At this moment, Lu Yang only felt that his preparation in recruiting Ling Xiao had been incredibly wise. Having such a powerful teammate truly saved him a lot of worry.
'No wonder the overseas demon race chose to land here in Jiangdong.'
'They aren't just fighting the Dao Court for [Fortune]; they're also searching for the [Dao-Attaining Hidden Profound Palace] that Ling Xiao hid in Jiangdong, along with the [City Rampart Earth] inside it!'
Especially this speech recorded in history and broadcasted to the entire Immortal Nexus.
It was an absolutely brilliant maneuver.
'It's a dual application of [Great Forest Wood] and [Inversion]!'
'Ling Xiao intentionally broadcasted these words widely in the Immortal Nexus, and then used [Inversion] to reverse it, turning [known by everyone] into [known by no one]!'
'After doing all this, he used the Knowledge-Perception Barrier to erase the relevant cognition.'
'Under this dual blockade, he ensured that although this speech was broadcasted widely, the only person who could actually remember and see it was me, whom he designated.'
This was a cross-time and space message!
[Fate Revolution] was the tie that connected the two of them. Only by using this unique divine ability of his could he unlock the sealed historical information.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang's gaze flickered slightly as he continued to read the records in the jade slip.
[Oh right, there's also Fellow Daoist's profound wonders.]
[Since I arrived early, I spent a little time helping Fellow Daoist cultivate a group of people. The number is about a million, and I conveniently hid them as well.]
Lu Yang jumped to his feet.
Although Ling Xiao spoke vaguely, how could he not understand that this referred to the [Divine Offering]! Ling Xiao had already cultivated a batch of believers for him in advance!
'A million.'
'This number cannot be mortals; it's highly likely they are cultivators! What method did he use? It should be that set of highly efficient Qi Refining arts from the overseas Immortal Alliance...'
At this moment, Lu Yang's heart was filled with pleasant surprise. If it was truly as Ling Xiao said, and he had cultivated a full million cultivators, even if only a tenth or even a hundredth of them were Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones cultivating the [Divine Offering], it would be enough to support him in completely opening up the connection and restoring his peak cultivation!
Immediately after, Lu Yang saw the final paragraph in the record:
[Oh right, there's one more thing.]
[After Fellow Daoist sees this message, the contingency I prepared will activate. Within three days, the 'Dao-Attaining Hidden Profound Palace' will manifest in the world once again.]
[I've left a backdoor for Fellow Daoist.]
[When the time comes, Fellow Daoist can enter first to make arrangements and restore your cultivation as quickly as possible. At the same time, this counts as bait, to see if we can trick a certain troublemaker to death.]
[Also, remember to come save me.]
"Crack!"
In the next second, the jade slip shattered, leaving only Lu Yang sitting squarely in place. As he raised his eyes, he seemed to see a surging sea of fog gradually sinking into the present world.
This evil old ghost.
When they were opponents, Lu Yang wished he could grind his bones to dust. But now that they were teammates, he had to admit that Ling Xiao was truly a perfect support.
He didn't need to do anything; he just needed to wait for Ling Xiao to carry!
The preparations made thirty years in advance instantly eliminated the worries of Lu Yang, who had still been pondering how to restore his cultivation and expand his incense believers.
At this moment, based on the contingency Ling Xiao left behind, Lu Yang immediately thought of countless insidious plots and schemes that could coordinate with it. His heart swelled with maximum excitement: 'With this contingency in place, I won't have to waste time developing slowly. I can reach the final step in one go and directly contact Sisui!'
