Chapter 173: Great Ascension Qi, First-Rank Opportunity!?
Chapter 173: Great Ascension Qi, First-Rank Opportunity!?
"Stay still!"
At this moment, Guangming's outwardly cheerful expression belied the urgent mental transmission he sent to the group of Grand Harmony Cultivators behind him: Don't act recklessly.
"Master Guangming?"
Mu Huan's eyes narrowed. "We’ve gathered eleven Harmonizing-with-the-Dao cultivators, and with Master Guangming's aid, why waste time negotiating with this man? Let’s strike now."
At these words, Guangming’s temple twitched violently. 'With Master Guangming’s aid'—you fools want to die, don’t you? Don’t drag me into this mess! Eleven Harmonizing-with-the-Dao cultivators? Even if you throw another eleven at him, you’d still lose to this monster!'
Suddenly, Guangming’s mind flashed back to past horrors—the indomitable Lv Yang dominating the Dao-Contesting Battlefield, his late master Subduing Dragon Arhat, humiliated into an agonizing death...
His mental voice grew sharper:
"He possesses a Life-Bound Divine Ability that can strike and vanish instantaneously. He’ll kill you one by one before you even realize it. If this drags on, you’ll all perish!"
"A Life-Bound Divine Ability? What’s that?"
Guangming nearly choked on his outrage. Ignorant overseas barbarians!
But he swallowed his frustration. These Grand Harmony Cultivators, who relied on the Imperial Decree of Golden Inscription to fake Harmonizing-with-the-Dao cultivation, could never comprehend true Life-Bound arts.
Before he could elaborate, one cultivator suddenly unsheathed a Sword Core and slashed at Lv Yang.
The eleven attacked in unison.
"Master Guangming, why parley with this thief? Strike now—don’t let him escape!" Mu Huan roared.
Guangming’s face contorted. You bastard, do you want to drag me into this mess too?
But a man who survived a hundred battles wouldn’t be intimidated by this ragtag alliance. With a cold snarl, he activated an escape technique, vanishing a thousand miles in an instant.
"Mercy, great mercy!"
He’d clawed his way to leadership of the Subduing Dragon Temple after his master’s death, securing three centuries of lifespan. He’d never die here, abandoned overseas!
"I’m not with them!"
Mu Huan and the others gaped at this cowardice, their gazes shifting warily to Lv Yang—who stood motionless, hands behind his back.
Is this man truly so terrifying?
They had expected chaos to erupt, but Lv Yang simply mudra-cast a seal, unleashing a radiant Divine Ability that swept outward. "Determine Kinship!"
They expected chaos.
Instead, Lv Yang merely formed a mudra, activating a seal. A radiant Divine Ability shimmered behind him, sweeping outward. All treasures vanished.
Determine Kinship!
The cultivators froze, sensing their treasures now lay thousands of miles away.
Before they could react, the Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner emerged. Smoke billowed, and Su Nu and Chen Xin’an materialized.
"Master, where are you off to?"
Su Nu’s smile was lethal as her Yanmo Hall loomed, intercepting Guangming mid-escape.
"N-no, just admiring the scenery", Guangming stammered, realizing flight was futile.
His mind raced for solutions—but then, a senior cultivator among the Immortal Alliance suddenly gasped.
"Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner!"
The old cultivator’s voice cracked. Lv Yang had revealed the banner deliberately, testing recognition. He suspected the Emerald Sun Cultivation Realm originated from the Primordial True Man, though usurped by the Fortune Immortal.
"Hold!" the elder barked. "Did you inherit the Primordial True Man’s legacy?"
The crowd erupted.
"Primordial True Man’s inheritance? Elder Lin, are you certain?" Mu Huan cried.
"Would I mistake Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner, famed for enslaving souls and dispersing true qi? The Primordial True Man’s lineage survives!" Elder Lin’s voice trembled.
He turned to Lv Yang. "We oppose you because the True Spirit is bound by a foreign artifact, trapping our souls after death. Only the Holy Sect’s True Man can free us. But with your inheritance..."
Lv Yang tilted his head. "Why should I help? What’s in it for me?"
Elder Lin paused. Lv Yang raised his Ultimate Heaven Instrument, sealing the area with a Cinnabar Fire Radiance to obscure fate’s scrutiny.
"The younger generation knows little", Elder Lin began, producing a jade disc. "But those of us who’ve endured eight centuries understand."
He offered the disc. "This belongs to the Primordial True Man. The Fortune Immortal tried to destroy it, but failed. Read it, and you’ll see—"
Lv Yang chuckled, nodding to Chen Xin’an. "You check it."
Better Chen Xin’an’s soul than his own.
Chen Xin’an probed the disc with his Divine Consciousness. Through their bond, Lv Yang observed remotely, ready to sever ties if treachery struck.
The disc revealed:
*"Seek Gold and die—die without regret.
My body becomes the Dao’s curse, my legacy to future generations.
Hold my banner, enter my Seek Gold Realm, refine it—
and you shall prove First-Rank Great Ascension Qi!"*
Lv Yang’s pupils contracted. First-Rank Qi—confirmed!
Elder Lin smiled. "Only I know the Seek Gold Realm’s location. Will you aid us?"
Lv Yang hesitated. Foundation Building couldn’t be redone, but First-Rank Qi could birth infinite variations—even enhancing his Life-Bound Divine Ability.
"Let me think..."
Elder Lin waited patiently.
Then—snap.
The jade disc’s seal shattered. A formation erupted, cloaking the cultivators.
"You!" Elder Lin roared.
But Lv Yang stood outside the formation, watching them squirm like fish in a barrel.
Guangming sighed. These overseas fools, trusting a Holy Sect True Man’s words...
They hadn’t suffered enough yet.
