Chapter 324: Rise Again! My Astonishing Wisdom!

Outside the Ten-Thousand Corpses Pit, in a secluded mountain forest.

A brilliant white light erupted, revealing over a dozen figures emerging from its blinding glow. Though they moved with unassuming subtlety, at first glance they appeared no different from ordinary humans.

This was the group from the Mystic Spirit Realm!

Leading them was the Mystic Spirit Realm's Heavenly Immortal, the foremost of the Three Immortal Officials, bearing the Taoist title Minghua. He served as the Sovereign of Mystic Spirit Realm's most trusted confidant.

Behind him followed three Earth Immortals and seven Human Immortals.

The Mystic Spirit Realm had come with the intention of seizing treasures and immediately retreating, so they'd only deployed a third of their elite forces, leaving the rest behind to guard their homeland.

"How far are we from the Ten-Thousand Corpses Pit?"

"Report, Master, the World Ritual Anchor has pinpointed a location a thousand miles from here."

This Human Immortal was Cheng Xian.

Though seemingly just a Human Immortal, he was actually Minghua's direct disciple. The cultivation techniques he inherited from Minghua could even be traced back to the Mystic Spirit Realm's Sovereign himself.

If Minghua was the Crown Prince, then Cheng Xian would be the Imperial Heir.

Therefore, when he stepped forward to answer, none of the three other Earth Immortals raised any objections. Instead, they all lowered their gazes in silent deference.

Minghua nodded slightly in approval at this display of obedience, then continued, "Well done, Cheng Xian. The Ten-Thousand Corpses Pit formed from the Mortal Descent Realm is too conspicuous of a target. If we teleported there directly and the enemy was already prepared, we'd be in grave danger."

"The Celestial Official's wisdom is unparalleled."

The Earth Immortals finally voiced their agreement.

After subtly asserting authority over his subordinates, Minghua shifted the topic. "We have two targets this time - Shenjin and the traitor Yu Shao."

The former was for Spirit Harvesting to benefit the Mystic Spirit Realm.

The latter was to eliminate potential future threats, since the Mystic Spirit Realm's plan was to seize what they could and flee immediately. They needed to prevent anyone from becoming a traitorous guide for their enemies.

"Both have been implanted with Supreme Clarity Perception Talismans."

"With our combined efforts in divination, they won't escape!"

Under Minghua's leadership, the group immediately began chanting incantations and forming mudras, attempting to locate their two targets. However, they all quickly froze in place.

Minghua's eyebrows furrowed slightly. "Both targets are together?"

In his sensing, Shenjin and the traitor Yu Shao were clearly located at the same position, within a region less than three thousand miles from their current location!

'A trap?'

This thought immediately surfaced in Minghua's mind, but he quickly regained his composure. 'Even if it is a trap, what can they do?'

'According to the intelligence obtained from Qi He, that so-called Primordial Sacred Sect dominates Jiangbei, but their Acting Sect Patriarch is only at Foundation Building Perfection - about equal to my own strength. There are very few Great True Sovereigns equivalent to Earth Immortals. With my power, I can handle this. At worst, I can flee.'

Besides, he hadn't come alone.

'I didn't receive any news about Yu Shao from Qi He, which suggests he didn't join the Primordial Sacred Sect. That means he must have joined the Sword Pavilion instead.'

'But with his strength, how many people could he possibly bring?'

'No matter how I look at it, with one Heavenly Immortal, three Earth Immortals, and seven Human Immortals under my command, we hold the advantage unless the Sovereign himself intervenes!'

Inside a boat sailing along the Jiangnan waterways.

After being accepted by Dangmo True Man, Lv Yang had been granted permission to seal himself in a meditation chamber aboard the boat to properly digest his recent gains.

First, he used Array Art to seal the chamber, ensuring no one could probe his activities with Divine Consciousness. Even if someone tried, the formation would immediately warn him. Then, he took out a storage bag.

Inside this bag was Shenjin, the majority of Qi He True Man's assets, and nearly all the resources from the Secret Pavilion Street that Qi He had established. Now that Qi He had departed this world, all his inheritance naturally passed to Lv Yang, who didn't hesitate to pour everything out. Then he released a towering Illusory Body.

The Heaven-Seizing Universal Command Myriad Phenomena Dharma Body!

This Dharma Body emitted devouring flames, resembling a giant cauldron. It consumed all the spiritual treasures Lv Yang had laid out, indiscriminately melting them down without distinction.

Gradually, a feeling of fullness surged through Lv Yang.

'At the limit.'

Lv Yang realized that his Dharma Body had reached the peak of its current development stage. To advance further, he would need to gather more spiritual energy.

"As described in the Heavenly Primordial Universal Sovereign Divine Art, cultivating the Heaven-Seizing Universal Command Myriad Phenomena Dharma Body can be divided into five stages. The first stage is like where I am now, successfully forming the Dharma Body. The next three stages require refining the Dharma Body itself, extracting its essence while discarding its impurities."

"The second stage is eliminating the 'Dharma Body' itself."

"Beyond physical form, it merges completely with my true self, able to gather and disperse at will."

"The third stage is eliminating the 'Myriad Phenomena'."

"No longer bound by imagery, it can transform infinitely, capable of manifesting all things."

"The fourth stage is eliminating 'Universal Command'."

"No longer relying on brute force control, everything follows naturally. Merged with heaven and earth, a single thought immediately elicits a natural response from the entire world."

"All that remains is 'Heaven' itself, truly connecting to the Fruit Position of the Myriad Martial Realm, from which point it can be completely incorporated into the primary world!"

"All that remains is 'Heaven' itself, truly connecting to the Fruit Position of the Myriad Martial Realm, from which point it can be completely incorporated into the primary world!"

Five Spirit Harvestings, each more difficult than the last.

Especially the final stage, which would trigger the Myriad Martial Realm's furious counterattack. Almost no Great True Sovereign at Foundation Building Perfection could survive this trial.

Even a Second-Tier True Cultivation Technique was this difficult to master.

'But for me, it's simply a matter of reincarnating five times. As for how to re-enter the Myriad Martial Realm, it doesn't necessarily require the Holy Sect.'

'After all, I already possess the corresponding Heavenly Primordial Universal Sovereign Divine Art. If I gave it to the Sword Pavilion and their True Monarch used it for divination, following its guidance, there's an 80% chance they could locate the Myriad Martial Realm. The only issue is that this would undoubtedly harm the Holy Sect's interests.'

What? In this life, I'm a Sword Pavilion cultivator?

Then there's no problem!

Lv Yang felt completely satisfied. He glanced at Shenjin before putting it away and retrieving the Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner instead.

On the banner, besides Chen Xin'an who had recently awakened after devouring Gou Yue, there was also a Pennant Spirit - the previously formidable Da Han Kui Gang.

"It's time."

Lv Yang took a deep breath, then shattered Kui Gang's Pennant Spirit. The dispersed True Spirit and Primordial Qi were all used to nourish the still-sleeping Yanluo Patriarch.

"Rise again! My astonishing wisdom!"

Although the Patriarch's foundation was at Foundation Building Perfection, since this was the Fifth Life and he hadn't returned to Foundation Building, the energy from a Foundation Building Pennant Spirit was more than sufficient.

Soon, a figure began to materialize within the banner.

".Mm?"

The Yanluo Patriarch manifested his form, eyes first showing a flicker of confusion before seemingly understanding something. He sighed as he looked at Lv Yang:

"Has the divination ended?"

"The Patriarch's insight is as keen as ever."

Lv Yang nodded. After being reforged by the Ten Thousand Lives Scroll, the Pennant Spirits retained their memories but had their perceptions altered.

In the Yanluo Patriarch's current understanding, everything he had experienced with Lv Yang was merely a future divination, not actual reality. The moment he now found himself in was the true reality. Any inconsistencies were naturally ignored, as the Ten Thousand Lives Scroll had flawlessly corrected all bugs.

"Apologies for troubling the Patriarch."

Lv Yang still respectfully bowed, giving the proper emotional respect, before presenting all the techniques he had acquired in this life:

The Celestial Void Internal Cultivation Manual

The Luminous Jade Lamp Scripture

The Taixu Sacrificial Rites Sublime Formula

The first was a wondrous technique for creating Fortune Ground Cave Heavens, the second a secret art for sensing the Lampfire of Restoration, and the third a method for connecting to the No Heaven Realm.

All were of exceptional quality and immense value. Yet Lv Yang, for all his suspicion, could find no flaws no matter how closely he examined them.

"."

Looking at the three manuals in his hands, the Yanluo Patriarch gave Lv Yang a helpless glance before shaking his head. "Fine, let me study them first."

Lv Yang's face immediately lit up with excitement. "Thank you, Patriarch!"

Good! My astonishing wisdom is about to shine once more!
