Chapter 183: Allow Me to Cleanse the Path
"Holy Sect has traitors, Uncle!"
Lv Yang burst through the entrance of Holy Flame Cliff, his voice trembling with exaggerated indignation. Chongguang True Man froze mid-motion, then snapped back to reality.
"Stop with the dramatics!"
Chongguang snorted, though his lips twitched with amusement. "It was Wu Cang who died, not you. Why the long face? Want me to remind you how severe the punishment is for slandering disciples?"
Lv Yang sighed inwardly—Ah, how quickly attitudes shift after a mid-stage Foundation Building breakthrough. Last life, his senior still carried that superior aura of an elder, but now... Now Chongguang practically looked at him like a prized dumpling ready to be devoured.
Perfect.
The more affectionate Chongguang became, the more leverage Lv Yang had to negotiate bold demands. He let tears well up on cue.
"Uncle, you don’t know what I’ve endured! After the earth vein explosion, calamity qi clung to me. Someone’s scheming against me, and I don’t even know who!"
"Scheming against you?"
Chongguang narrowed his eyes, fingers weaving divination seals. His frown deepened. "Karmic threads show no anomalies."
Everything was crystal clear. Wu Cang had greedily demanded the True Monarch's scroll, only to be killed in self-defense. Clean, straightforward—no shadows, no irregularities.
Yet no irregularity was the irregularity itself.
Chongguang needed no proof of Heaven-Sundering Malice—only knowing who benefited most from Lv Yang’s death. He summoned the Array Art Spirit.
"Fetch Hongju True Man. We must discuss urgent matters."
The spirit hesitated. "Hongju True Man has entered strict cultivation seclusion."
"Secluded cultivation?" Chongguang barked laughter. "So the old fox is behind this! He’s the one poisoning you from the shadows!"
Lv Yang burned the name "Hongju" into his memory. This bastard schemed my death last life? Hongju... Just one character away from 'Fortune'—of course they’re cut from the same cloth!
He leaned closer, whispering, "This is an assassination attempt, Uncle! Just before, I learned Fortune Immortal left contingencies overseas. I was about to report it when Wu Cang attacked me!"
"Were it not for my mid-stage breakthrough, I’d be dead by Wu Cang’s hand. This isn’t about silencing me—it’s a strike at your life!"
Chongguang’s expression darkened. Fortune Immortal was his archenemy—the mere mention made his ears burn.
"Details."
"As you command", Lv Yang bowed, revealing the Emerald Sun Cultivation Realm’s existence and the Imperial Decree of Golden Inscription held by the Immortal Alliance.
Chongguang initially dismissed it, but at the mention of "Imperial Decree of Golden Inscription", his pupils constricted, murder flashing in his gaze.
"So that’s where he hid the old elixir..."
He sat cross-legged, fingers dancing in calculations. Lv Yang waited silently.
After an eternity, Chongguang lifted his head. "Where did you learn this?"
"From Primordial True Sage’s legacy. His records revealed everything."
"Primordial True Sage?" Chongguang stiffened, then resumed divination. "A figure from five millennia ago. Brilliant, but estranged from our Holy Sect."
Lv Yang feigned curiosity. "I only knew him as a wandering cultivator. Was there more to him?"
"More? He was born from the previous Millennium Cataclysm’s chaotic fate—a genius who rivaled great sects’ true transmissions. He nearly ascended to True Monarch status..."
"But his unbending nature made him unwelcome among monarchs. They deceived him into forging his Dao Foundation with a fourth-tier cultivation technique, sealing his potential."
"After that, he vanished. Only near the last cataclysm’s end did True Monarchs discover he’d left a legacy. Unable to trace it, they bound its karmic threads to our Holy Sect—ensuring anything he left behind would inevitably reach our disciples."
Chongguang studied Lv Yang. "You, as the distant disciple of Wugui Sect’s Tingyou True Man, possessing his legacy... Your fortune rivals True Men’s."
"Flattery, Uncle", Lv Yang bowed again, steering the conversation. "The Emerald Sun Realm might be Primordial True Sage’s Golden Seeking Ground. His failure there likely birthed the Dao Aberration haunting you."
"Meaning the aberration and the decree would justify Holy Sect’s mobilization", Chongguang nodded.
Lv Yang blinked. "You’d send Holy Sect to war over this?"
Chongguang smirked. "You’re volunteering me to go personally? That aberration alone could kill us both!"
But before he finished, Chongguang strode outside, summoning the Array Art Spirit.
"Report to Qingcheng Feixue True Monarch."
The spirit vanished. Moments later, an oppressive force pierced the sky, dissecting Lv Yang’s soul.
True Monarch’s gaze!
When the pressure lifted, the Array Spirit reappeared, bearing a talisman heavier than stone. Chongguang accepted it reverently, then handed it to Lv Yang.
"Luck’s on your side."
Lv Yang read the decree:
"Bearing Pure Land’s great karmic debt and Heaven-Sundering Malice, your death overseas is foretold. Lingering in Cloud Sea ensures safety, yet stagnation awaits. Karmic threads left unresolved will fester."
"Take my decree—journey overseas."
"I shall cleanse the path for you."
