Chapter 313: Enlightening Feixue, Unboxing Ang Xiao
Never before had Lv Yang longed so desperately for his legendary brilliance.
Alas, the Yanluo Patriarch had suffered catastrophic injuries in his previous life and remained in a coma-like slumber, with his Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner still in a semi-ruined state.
"If only I could find a new vessel to merge into..."
Almost instinctively, Lv Yang thought of the other Yanluo Patriarch currently trapped in the Skull Mountain Secret Realm. But he quickly dismissed the idea.
"Not yet. It's not the right time."
The Golden Core Sword Qi lingering at Skull Mountain hadn't dissipated yet. At this point, the Yanluo Patriarch was still imprisoned there. Even if he could rescue him now, the Sword Pavilion's Heaven-Bearing Virtue True Monarch, though not the most gifted among True Monarchs, was still a Golden Core cultivator. Leaving a single Sword Qi there would mean certain death for Lv Yang, despite his Foundation Building Perfection. Calculating the timeline, he realized he'd need to wait at least six or seven years.
"No need to rush. Patience yields results."
Lv Yang consoled himself, but suddenly, he felt a strange shift in the air. Lifting his gaze, his eyes widened in surprise.
An ordinary person would have sensed nothing. Yet just moments ago, Lv Yang had experienced this familiar sensation before and instantly recognized it: "The No Heaven Realm is expanding?!"
In an instant, he entered the Foundation Building Stage.
Countless other Foundation Building True Men across the world simultaneously detected the change, their consciousnesses diving into the Foundation Building Stage as they looked skyward.
"There's something up there!"
Everyone sensed a mysterious presence in the semi-heavenly realm, yet no method could reveal its existence.
Those who probed with Divine Consciousness found their minds forcibly imprinted with a forbidden memory fragment:
The Grand Emptiness Sacrificial Ritual Sublime Method!
This ancient technique for connecting with the No Heaven Realm was now being spread openly, accompanied by vast knowledge about the realm itself.
Boom!
Almost simultaneously, several stars in the heavens blazed with extraordinary light, as even True Monarchs couldn't help but marvel at the No Heaven Realm's modern manifestation.
Yet what truly shocked the world was that when the Fruit Position's starlight descended and True Monarchs swept their consciousnesses across, the No Heaven Realm only revealed faint illusions. It remained untouchable, like a mirage beyond the grasp of even True Monarchs!
"What a remarkable No Heaven Realm!"
Capturing a Fruit Position was already exceptionally difficult, let alone suppressing it. Throughout history, only Pure Lands had achieved such feats.
But the No Heaven Realm proved even more elusive.
"Visible yet imperceptible is called Yi. Audible yet inaudible is called Xi. Graspable yet intangible is called Wei. These three cannot be further examined, thus merging into one. Its upper part isn't bright; its lower part isn't obscure. Continuous and boundless, it cannot be named, ultimately returning to nothingness—this is the formless form."
After repeated failed attempts, several True Monarchs finally withdrew, abandoning further pursuit. Below, countless Foundation Building True Men who had grasped the No Heaven Realm's mysteries through the Grand Emptiness Sacrificial Ritual Sublime Method wore ecstatic expressions.
Meanwhile, in the Overseas Dominion...
Ang Xiao opened his eyes, sighing deeply: "How wondrous is this Fruit Position... Mu Changsheng, from which Celestial Mansion did you obtain it?"
Though the Primordial True Man claimed to have spontaneously manifested the No Heaven Realm, Ang Xiao dismissed this entirely. He firmly believed external forces were at play.
"After all, talent has limits. Why is spontaneous manifestation considered illusory? Simple logic: how can one imagine something never seen before? It defies reason."
Thus, Ang Xiao was convinced the Primordial True Man must have obtained an extraordinary opportunity. Otherwise, he could never have manifested the No Heaven Realm. Even the Yanluo Patriarch had only created techniques for Golden Core cultivators, never achieving spontaneous Fruit Position mastery.
Could the Primordial True Man's talent truly surpass Listen to Shadow's? Impossible!
"Pity, the No Heaven Realm's interference caused my plan to refine the Dao Aberration into a clone to fail. The next opportunity won't come easily."
Ang Xiao sighed inwardly.
The next moment, as a crystalline beam of light crashed down, his form dissipated, replaced by True Monarch Qingcheng Feixue.
"Tsk, you run fast."
Qingcheng Feixue snorted coldly, her beautiful eyes gleaming. Detecting traces of Ang Xiao's terrifying power, her curiosity grew: "He's a Golden Core Mid-Rank cultivator too... No, possibly Late Stage? How did he breakthrough? He feels like one of the strongest Late Stage cultivators."
Still, she felt no fear.
Once Chongguang Qiujin succeeded, with her and True Monarch Zengcai Qiluo combining forces to complete three of the Five Elements, she'd have confidence to challenge Golden Core Late cultivators. If he wasn't Late Stage, he was even less threatening.
She, Xue Feihong, had risen during the great calamity's twilight 5,000 years ago, always fighting when confronted and victorious in every battle—a peerless combat genius among the last five millennia.
Golden Core Late cultivators aside, she feared no one at the Mid-Stage!
Glancing downward, she saw Lv Yang was already awake, but Hong Ju remained unconscious. As for Fortune, he hadn't arrived—Hong Ju alone was insignificant.
True Monarch Qingcheng Feixue suddenly smiled at Lv Yang.
Moments later, a clear voice whispered in his ear: "From your reaction, you know who that was just now, right?"
"He's called Ang Xiao."
Lv Yang spoke openly, revealing the title, triggering Heavenly Tribulations rumbling through the clouds. Yet the heavens could do nothing.
Or rather, Ang Xiao had prepared for this moment long ago. Even if Qingcheng Feixue knew his existence and the anomalies in Chen Earth, she could do nothing to him now.
"Ang Xiao."
At this name, Qingcheng Feixue fell into thought, her eyes gradually darkening with fury before she vanished in a flash.
Clearly, this warning had been sufficient.
At this moment, Hong Ju beside Lv Yang suddenly opened his eyes, his face flushing crimson as his Karmic Merit Fortune plummeted.
"Failed the tribulation?"
Lv Yang immediately noticed, astonished. Hong Ju was Foundation Building Perfection, yet couldn't even survive the first tribulation? He himself had passed easily.
Hong Ju's expression turned grim: "Mu Changsheng... surviving that absolute death trap without being devoured by spirit females!"
Who knew what he'd endured?
The Heaven-Earth Confrontation Dragon-Tiger Yin-Yang Grand Formation with 108 Celestial Maidens. Seven days of blood-soaked battle, yet he'd still been annihilated.
"Just the first tribulation is beyond ordinary cultivators. It has nothing to do with cultivation level—everyone gets reduced to Primordial True Man's original Refining Qi Perfection state. Only those with unshakable will and peerless talent can pass. Fortune might have had a chance..."
After a long while, Hong Ju returned to his senses. Seeing Lv Yang beside him, he suddenly remembered their mission to the Overseas Dominion, his face darkening.
They came here for the semi-True Treasure and the Primordial Dao Aberration.
Now the Dao Aberration was gone, the semi-True Treasure unclaimed, and Qingcheng Feixue had taken it while leaving so casually!
"Damn that beast!"
Hong Ju inwardly cursed, forcing a bitter smile: "Fellow Daoist, would you consider different terms? Is there anything else you need?"
"Not necessarily."
Lv Yang remained calm, having prepared for this: "If you can obtain a strand of Metal Qi essence, I can share the technique with you."
At this, Hong Ju's eyes lit up: "This is simple! Follow me!"
Guiding Lv Yang, they quickly reached the secluded forest previously blocked from Karmic Causality detection by Array Art. Hong Ju raised his hand, summoning an ancient scroll.
Lv Yang's eyes narrowed instantly.
It was the Fruit-Rank Treasure of Restoration's Lampfire—the Fate-Linked Destiny Codex!
