Chapter 344: Talent and Effort, Divine Essence Secured!
Chapter 344: Talent and Effort, Divine Essence Secured!
It was pretty absurd when you thought about it.
All Lv Yang had wanted was a single strand of Divine Essence, but that simple desire had dragged him into schemes orchestrated by countless True Monarchs.
"It was the same last life when I sought the Yin Wood", he mused bitterly.
Back then, he'd been blindsided by Ang Xiao's Veil of Cognition, manipulated like a fool by Suo Huan. Even recalling it now brought a flood of bitter tears.
At this point, he couldn’t even be bothered to curse anymore.
Thankfully, his luck had finally turned. With the True Monarchs about to clash in battle, no one had time to monitor him. If he slipped away now, when would he ever get a better chance?
Lv Yang summoned his Xiu Xin True Man avatar, retrieving the Divine Essence. He planned to have this clone deliver it to Hidden Sword Manor, where his main body could then orchestrate a theft using the Tribulation Tempest Blade. A strike without cause or consequence – no one would be able to trace its origins.
'Of course, it’s not foolproof.'
'But both Ang Xiao and True Monarch Qingcheng Feixue have bigger concerns right now. Even if they notice something’s off, they won’t have time to hunt me down.'
Plenty of time to vanish again.
As for the clone itself, he’d simply reincarnate it.
The plan carried undeniable risks, but it was the safest option Lv Yang could devise. Abandoning the Divine Essence wasn’t an option.
'If they somehow track me down anyway, fine – I’ll hand them my life. At worst, I’ll reincarnate through the Ten Thousand Lives Scroll and purge the karma.'
Just then, a voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Wait. Don’t rush."
The sound emerged from the Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner. Lv Yang froze mid-motion, hastily unfurling the banner to see the Yanluo Patriarch awakening from meditation.
"Venerable Ancestor!" Lv Yang exclaimed, surprised.
"Finished refining the pill’s effects already?"
"Moderate success", the Patriarch rubbed his chin. "The potency wasn’t as dramatic as I’d hoped, though it helped somewhat."
His gaze sharpened on the Divine Essence in Lv Yang’s hand. "I’ve divined your situation. Carrying this strand out leaves too many variables. Even if no one watches you now, someone could trace you later."
That sobered Lv Yang’s mood instantly. If even the Yanluo Patriarch doubted his plan…
"I understand", he sighed. "I’ll abandon the Essence."
"Don’t jump yet", the Patriarch interrupted. "Your method has flaws, but I can help."
Lv Yang’s eyes lit up. "You mean…"
"I’ve already considered it", the Patriarch nodded. "First – using intermediaries to retrieve the Essence creates too many karmic threads. The only safe path is channeling it directly to your main body through the clone."
"Then the clone must vanish completely – suicide followed by reincarnation into the Underworld to erase all traces through the Wheel of Reincarnation."
Lv Yang frowned. "So you’re suggesting using the Heaven-Seizing Universal Command Myriad Phenomena Dharma Body for remote teleportation?"
"Exactly. This Dharma Body functions both as a Spirit Treasure and Divine Ability, enabling seamless switching between main body and clone."
"But if I fuse the Dharma Body with Celestial Vanguard Terrestrial Sha, I’ll lose access to the Essence. I’d never refine it into a Divine Ability or breakthrough my cultivation realm", Lv Yang countered.
"Precisely why we’ll hide the Essence within the Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner first", the Patriarch smiled. "Since the Banner and Dharma Body share existence, transporting one carries the other effortlessly!"
The implications hit him instantly.
"The Dharma Body’s already been purified by the Ten Thousand Lives Scroll, making it karmically invisible. Wrapping the Essence in that cloak would sever all traces!"
Only one issue remained. "The Banner can only store Pennant Spirits and inanimate objects. The Celestial Vanguard Terrestrial Sha’s status is far too lofty to contain…"
"Feasible!" The Patriarch’s confidence was absolute.
At that moment, Lv Yang felt immense gratitude for gifting the Dao-United Immortal Pill to the Patriarch earlier. The returns were already paying off!
He moved swiftly, sorting spoils. Excepting the Eternal Heaven Lifespan Root (to be left behind for appearances), he divided the loot – 70% to himself, 30% for Sword Pavilion.
In Hidden Sword Manor’s Jiangnan chamber, his main body summoned the Heaven-Seizing Universal Command Myriad Phenomena Dharma Body, instantly transferring his consciousness into the Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner.
The interior dazzled – glimmering Metallic Essence Qi, the Six Ding Divine Fire once used by the Mystic Spirit Realm’s alchemical sovereign, and treasures from Heaven’s South Gate. The hoard filled half the Banner’s space, radiating splendor that made him salivate.
"All mine…"
With the Patriarch’s help, the Banner became the perfect transport vessel. No longer would his clones’ acquisitions stagnate!
"Here’s to talent and effort!"
Without hesitation, he drew the Tribulation Tempest Blade, unleashing divine essence to sever all karmic ties to the Divine Essence. When finished, even his Insightful Clarity technique detected no lingering traces – surprising, considering his suspicions about Dangmo True Man’s earlier 'cleaning.'
Grasping the Essence, he began refining.
Suddenly –
A surge! His immortal spirit shattered cultivation bottlenecks, radiating two Divine Ability auras without needing Chifa (Lawkeeper)’s arcane assistance!
Foundation Building Mid-Stage… achieved!
Combined with Chifa’s mystery, three auras blazed – Mid-Stage Perfection! Add two more from the Void…
"Divine Ability Perfection!?"
His experiment ended predictably – cultivating Perfection required forging Golden Nature and Fortune Ground. Mashing random Divine Abilities together wouldn’t work. Doing so recklessly would shatter his body entirely.
Suddenly, his two Void Divine Abilities – Multifloral Marrow and Sea of Sorrowful Affliction – trembled violently.
"The No Heaven Realm… someone’s altering it?"
His gaze snapped upward.
"Chongguang…?"
