The origin of the false history.
Looking at the Foundation Establishment puppet that had closed its eyes and fallen into a deep sleep, clearly having its consciousness extracted, Sisui lowered his eyelids and fell into a long silence.
Only after a long time did he sigh:
"...Come back."
Before his voice even faded, Xiu Zhen was seen returning. Anger still lingered on his face, but compared to his previous breakdown, he had already calmed down significantly.
In the next second, he bowed deeply:
"Many thanks to Senior for the grace of saving my life."
"It's nothing much."
Sisui waved his hand: "I merely did it in passing. The Fellow Daoist who brought you here is a smart person. You, on the other hand, are a bit foolish. You haven't read enough books!"
Xiu Zhen's expression turned strange upon hearing this.
He wasn't an idiot either. Although he had truly broken down a bit just now, coming to his senses at this moment, he broke out in a cold sweat, feeling lingering fear in his heart.
'The Ancestral Dragon... that beast originally wanted to kill me.'
'Since he could manipulate that remnant consciousness and echo, and what came was a puppet, he could have completely shattered that remnant thought while I was on my way back.'
At that time, he would still be inside the [Heavenly Dao], but without cover. The Sword Lord and Cang Hao outside would inevitably be alarmed instantly, and then a slap would come down... Good heavens, let alone the fact that he was only a Primordial Spirit body, even if he had recovered his Golden Core Great Perfection cultivation, the result would only be sudden death!
This was the true massive pitfall!
Xiu Zhen finally realized that he had truly taken a stroll through the gates of hell. And the one who saved him was none other than Sisui before his eyes!
'Because he restored my true body for me just now.'
'The Ancestral Dragon perhaps saw something, believing I was still useful to Sisui, or out of some other consideration, and ultimately chose to give up.'
Instead, he used that bizarre Investiture of the Gods Method to bind him.
That was why as soon as he appeared just now, he bowed deeply to Sisui without a second word. It was precisely because he had figured out this crucial point. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have recovered his wits yet.
"Alright, follow me."
Sisui waved his hand: "Fellow Daoist has stayed outside for a long time. Although you took a nice-sounding name, you haven't put it into practice. Read more books from now on."
His voice gradually drifted away.
Sisui was the first to walk into the pavilion, with Xiu Zhen following closely behind. The heavy sound of the door closing echoed within this otherworldly peach blossom spring, mixed with a faint lingering echo:
"As for the worldly clamor outside, sigh."
"The Primordial Saint, that Dao debate from back then... must be settled eventually."
Everything returned to tranquility. Only the sound of Sisui's true body—that towering giant—persistently and tirelessly bombarding the seal rumbled loudly.
The boundless universe.
Lu Yang opened his eyes, directly withdrawing his consciousness from the Foundation Establishment puppet over there, and looked off into the distance at the cyan arc of light symbolizing the [Dao-Attaining Hidden Profound Palace].
'Emulate the Ancestral Dragon's past actions...'
Back then, the six Dao Lords suppressed the Ancestral Dragon, using the [Five Elements] as the foundation of [Paramita], thereby establishing the stature of [Paramita] towering above the sea of light.
Lu Yang wasn't surprised that Sisui proposed this suggestion, nor did he fail to understand what the so-called "Ancestral Dragon's past actions" were. The real question was: Sisui actually felt that with his current cultivation and the Great Dao he controlled, he could accomplish what originally only the Innate Dao God Ancestral Dragon could do!
What did that mean.
Could it be that after being suppressed for 129,600 years, let alone Sisui's strength declining or stagnating, he had even taken a step further and could rival the Ancestral Dragon?
That couldn't be, right?
If that were really the case, what was there to fight? Just collapse [Paramita], release Sisui, and then sit back and watch Sisui steamroll the sea of light, wouldn't that be it?
Lu Yang also asked this question.
However, this time, Sisui didn't answer. Instead, he smiled meaningfully: "When the time comes and people are about to die, there's always a way for some things."
To this, Lu Yang was left speechless.
"...Never mind."
Standing up, Lu Yang stretched his limbs to his heart's content. Regardless, this time he not only obtained the Primordial Spirit method, but also eliminated a potential trouble.
Although because of Sisui's intervention, he didn't directly scam the other party to death, keeping him by Sisui's side meant he couldn't stir up any waves anyway. Perhaps in the future, he could even contribute to breaking the [Heavenly Heart Seal]. After he broke through and sent him into the [Heavenly Palace], it would be a massive help.
A guaranteed profit without any loss!
However, in the next second, Lu Yang suddenly raised an eyebrow, seemingly sensing something. Subsequently, his expression turned strange, and he hurriedly vanished from his spot.
[Dao-Attaining Hidden Profound Palace]
The corpses of the six Dragon Lords were scattered around, but the six dragon heads were gathered together, reviewing the clash with Perfected One Vanquishing-Demon's sword strike earlier.
"If you ask me, we shouldn't have let Big Brother take it."
"Exactly, that sword strike simply wasn't something a person could take. It would have been better to let me do it. With my [Star River Immortal], there might have even been hope of escaping with our lives."
"Give me a break. With your meager Dao comprehension, you still want to escape?"
"Then at least I could have lasted one more sword strike!"
"Stop sprouting nonsense, what [Star River Immortal]. What kind of garbage Dao Fruit is the [Heavenly River Water]? It's just making up the numbers in the Water Element. It would be more like it if I went up..."
"What did you say?"
"What about what I said!"
—Amidst the clamor, the Dragon Lords discovered that a graceful silhouette had crouched beside one of the dragon corpses at some unknown time, not knowing what he was doing there.
"Big Brother, is that your corpse?"
"Seems like... Holy crap! Bu Tianque!?"
In the next second, the Old Dragon Lord let out a sharp dragon roar. The gazes of the six Dragon Lords converged, looking at the figure standing up from behind the Old Dragon Lord.
"Hm... mediocre."
Bu Tianque pulled up his pants, somewhat disappointed: "How was it done? It's clearly not dead, yet the true body cannot be used, and it can no longer contact the Heavenly Lord."
The Old Dragon Lord: "..."
No way, right?
It's already cold, and you can still use it?
Immediately after, Bu Tianque was seen coming before the Old Dragon Lord's dragon head again. He thought about it, then clapped his hands, revealing an expression of sudden realization:
"I kind of understand now."
"The profound wonder of this sword technique is condensing all vitality at the position of the head. So the body is truly dead, but the head can maintain its vigor instead."
"So it means my method is wrong. Harvesting dead objects like corpses definitely won't work. I must switch to heads brimming with vitality for it to be effective. Although it lacks function in terms of parts... but the problem isn't big, the mouth can also be used. My Heaven-Mending True Scripture has never avoided these things."
The more the Old Dragon Lord listened, the more terrified he felt.
"No, Bu Tianque, you demon... what are you trying to do? What do you mean by loosening your belt? Go away! Believe it or not, I'll bite it straight off..."
"You sure dare to imagine."
Bu Tianque sneered: "This is the tool I use to eat, battle-tested through hundreds of fights. With your meager teeth, you want to bite it off? Don't be fanciful."
The Old Dragon Lord was completely in despair.
"Second Brother! Third Brother! Eldest Sister! Save me..."
"Don't move."
Bu Tianque impatiently held down the Old Dragon Lord's head.
"It will be very quick, just once..."
Around the Old Dragon Lord, the other Dragon Lords rolled away in unison, not daring to look again. And the Old Dragon Lord's pair of dragon pupils also gradually filled with a look of humiliation...
"Ahem."
A single cough made Bu Tianque's actions stop abruptly.
In the next second, this demon was seen turning around helplessly, tightening the pants he had halfway unfastened: "Fellow Daoist, why must you come out at this time?"
If he didn't come out, the Old Dragon Lord was truly going to suffer.
Lu Yang shook his head and said in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist Heaven-Mending, the Heavenly Lord does not have much time left. You taking action against the Heavenly Lord at this time no longer has any meaning."
"Oh?" Bu Tianque raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
"Fellow Daoist should also have some understanding of this place." Lu Yang spread his hands and said frankly: "I plan to use the Investiture of the Gods Method Dao Lineage to perform the act of changing heaven and earth."
As soon as these words were spoken, Bu Tianque instantly frowned.
"Could Fellow Daoist's meaning be..."
Hearing this, Lu Yang smiled slightly and said: "Correct. Rather than exhausting your mind to harvest the Heavenly Lord, it is better to join my Dao Lineage and change heaven and earth together with me..."
"...You want me to give up the Heavenly Lord and harvest you?"
Lu Yang: "...???"
