Chapter 230: The Dao Companion of Chongguang True Man?
Chapter 230: The Dao Companion of Chongguang True Man?
Above the ruins of Qing Kingdom's capital city, Lv Yang stood amidst the clouds, silently gazing at the heavens.
After Chongguang True Man's failed ascension ritual that sacrificed the entire Qing Kingdom, this place had lost its former vibrancy. Now it lay in deathly silence.
Worse still, since Chongguang True Man's ascension failed, the Yangilluminate Cave Realm was now plummeting toward this world. Though not yet fully manifested, its ominous signs - scorching winds and deadly radiance - turned ordinary humans to ash upon approach.
Even cultivators found it perilous. Those at the early and middle stages of Refining Qi cultivation couldn't approach. Only late-stage Refining Qi experts could endure briefly, while only those who reached Refining Qi Perfection were completely unaffected by the realm's influence.
And the danger was growing stronger over time.
According to Lv Yang's calculations, once the Yangilluminate Cave Realm fully manifested, even Refining Qi Perfection experts would likely be unable to approach this place.
"Slaughterer Yuan Tu."
Suddenly, a dark figure arrived in a streak of light. It was True Man Yinshan, though his expression appeared particularly grim.
Lv Yang sighed upon seeing him. "Brother Senior, your situation isn't easy either."
These words clearly touched a nerve with True Man Yinshan, who let out a long sigh and clasped his hands. "I'll need my younger brother's support in the future."
His eyes flashed with cold determination. "This is our only chance - we must seize it. Otherwise we'll fade into obscurity, losing all our former prestige. You know well, many True Men in Holy Sect are eyeing our positions."
True Man Yinshan understood the situation clearly. With Chongguang True Man's failure and loss of his Foundation Building Perfection patron, their status in Holy Sect had significantly diminished.
They desperately needed a new patron. Gaining the favor of True Monarch Qingcheng Feixue was crucial for both of them.
To win the True Monarch's favor, they had to prove their abilities.
Still, True Man Yinshan's expression remained grim. This time, they wouldn't just be dealing with Foundation Building True Men from the Qing Kingdom.
"The True Monarch has declared an agreement - the Yangilluminate Cave Realm will be divided among all factions."
"This rare opportunity would attract even Great True Men in normal circumstances. Despite the True Monarch's restrictions, it won't be easy to handle."
As True Man Yinshan spoke, his gaze shifted. In the distance, a streak of light pierced through the sky, causing spirit tides to surge. As it approached, the light split into two - one calm and one dynamic. The two figures revealed themselves as a middle-aged man in official robes and a handsome youth in armor.
The moment they appeared, heaven and earth responded. From their crowning auras emerged talismanic symbols that formed two dazzling, magnificent official titles.
"Director of the Azure Heaven Bureau Hou Lan and Lord of the Bureau of Propagation Cheng Tinggui", True Man Yinshan murmured. "Both hold third-grade official titles, comparable to Foundation Building Mid-Stage perfection. While individually weaker than other factions..."
"The Dao Court and Pure Land have always been in cahoots, working together in battle. These two - one scholar, one warrior - likely excel in coordinated attacks. Don't underestimate them."
"I understand, Senior Brother."
Lv Yang nodded, then turned his gaze elsewhere. The clouds parted in the distance, revealing ethereal Buddhist temples.
"Pure Land."
In an instant, several figures emerged from the temple vision. Leading them was a monk with hands clasped in devotion, wearing an ornate golden-brocaded robe. His prayer beads gleamed with jade-like luster.
As soon as he appeared, his gaze locked directly onto Lv Yang.
"Who is this one?"
Lv Yang, lacking experience, recognized him as a Foundation Building Mid-Stage perfection Arhat but couldn't identify him. True Man Yinshan explained, "This should be Enlightened Suffering Hui Ku, a disciple of Dragon-Serpent Coiling Shadow Bodhisattva. He's of the same faction as Vimala Bhadra, who previously attacked us. Now that Vimala Bhadra has been sent back to Pure Land, this Hui Ku likely covets the empty position."
"Oh", Lv Yang immediately understood.
That explained the intense gaze - Hui Ku wanted advancement. Everyone knew he was practically Pure Land's most coveted target.
"But the bigger threats haven't arrived yet."
The Dao Court and Pure Land were nothing special. Not only did Lv Yang take them lightly, but even True Man Yinshan only maintained cautious vigilance without considering them serious threats.
For Holy Sect, there was only one true enemy.
"Clang!"
Suddenly, a clear sword cry pierced through the southern sky, instantly causing a thousand swords to resonate.
True Man Yinshan's expression turned serious. "Sword Intent - the southern madman has arrived."
Lv Yang opened his spiritual eye, unleashing the power of his Ultimate Heaven Instrument, which illuminated a red glow. Through this, he saw a tall figure hidden within countless sword lights.
The figure stood with hands behind his back, robes billowing. Above his head floated a Sword Core absorbing celestial light, continuously emitting Sword Qi. Just standing there, he seemed like a deadly sword that had cut countless lives. As soon as he appeared, like Pure Land's Hui Ku, his gaze locked directly onto Lv Yang.
But the Sword Pavilion was more direct than Pure Land.
"Slash!"
The moment their eyes met, a dazzling sword blade slashed toward Lv Yang's face, sending bone-deep coldness into his forehead.
"Definitely a madman."
Cursing inwardly, Lv Yang didn't hesitate. His Hundredfold Barriers Cloak flared, immediately blocking the sword strike.
"This is one of Xing Feng's spiritual treasures!"
The Sword Pavilion figure grunted angrily, his sword energy suddenly exploding with brilliant light. Each ray carried deadly force, instantly piercing through the Hundredfold Barriers Cloak's defense!
After all, this spiritual treasure came from the Sword Pavilion itself. Who better understood how to counter it than the Sword Pavilion cultivators?
Still, it bought Lv Yang precious time. In the blink of an eye, his Determine Kinship ability landed on the opponent.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, the Sword Pavilion figure was flung thousands of meters away, his gaze narrowing but refraining from further attack, dispersing his sword aura.
Looking closely, the figure was actually a graceful woman.
Her appearance seemed around seventeen or eighteen - bright eyes, white teeth, delicate eyebrows, and smooth jade-like skin. She wore a green palace dress with wide sleeves over a lighter robe.
Testing cautiously, Lv Yang asked, "From the Ye family?"
"Sword Pavilion's Ye Guyue (Solitary Moon)", True Man Yinshan confirmed.
The heroic female swordsman smiled coldly, her expression like a drawn blade, her Sword Qi brimming with killing intent, clearly wanting to strike at Lv Yang again.
Lv Yang narrowed his eyes. Tension crackled between them.
Just then, a mysterious Daoist melody rang out from afar - neither lute nor flute nor whistle, impossible to describe. It dispelled the killing intent and instantly eased the tense situation.
Following the melody, another graceful figure appeared in the distance. She wore an immortal's hairstyle, her features delicate and beautiful. Unlike the swordswoman, she wore white mourning robes, her demeanor as elegant as an orchid in a secluded valley.
"Who is she?" Lv Yang asked curiously.
"She's from our Holy Sect."
True Man Yinshan's voice dropped lower. "She was my senior brother's Dao companion. Naturally, she would come after his passing."
Chongguang True Man's wife?
Lv Yang was momentarily stunned. Then he suddenly remembered - Chongguang True Man did have a son! He had even seen him, Zhong Ming, during the Dao battle. Of course his master would have a Dao companion.
In the next moment, Lv Yang noticed she had also turned her beautiful eyes directly toward him.
