Chapter 194: Famous Vessel

Blood Demon True Person's confidence, though seemingly baseless, was not without reason.

In fact, even outside the Holy Sect, if any other major or minor sect could produce a Great True Person at the late Foundation Establishment stage, it would be a world-shaking change.

Because a Great True Person has hope of seeking the Golden.

Even if this hope is pitifully low, nearly non-existent, there is still a sliver of it, and even a single sliver is enough to make people take notice.

Therefore, for any Great True Person, there are generally three outcomes: The first is when the seat indicated by the Dao Foundation is empty and not held by any of the Four Great Powers; this is the most carefree, yet also the most dependent, because there is no backing behind them, making them the most likely to fail in seeking the Golden.

The second is being born into a famous great sect.

For example, True Person Chongguang; the seat he wishes to prove belongs to the Holy Sect, and behind him stands a True Lord of the Holy Sect supporting him, making his hope of seeking the Golden arguably the greatest.

The third is when someone already occupies the seat.

Lu Yang and Patriarch Tingyou were both like this; one had their seat proven by someone else beforehand, while the other had their seat seized by the Pure Land, forbidding others from proving it.

In this situation, one is basically doomed.

A Great True Person falling into such a predicament is either directly killed by the True Lord occupying the seat, or abandons seeking the Golden and is absorbed by the True Lord on the seat.

Patriarch Tingyou was the former.

Blood Demon True Person was the latter.

That's right, Blood Demon True Person also proved the Covering Lamp, but unlike True Person Chongguang, his choice was to be absorbed by Daoist Hong Yun Daoist, who was then a True Lord.

In fact, the Great Deception Art that allowed him to survive until now was specifically deduced and given to him by Daoist Hong Yun Daoist; therefore, the instant Blood Demon True Person stopped concealing his own karmic ties, Daoist Hong Yun Daoist, far away in the sky, immediately felt a sensation, frowned slightly, and looked up at the Firmament.

"Blood Demon? He has come back to life?"

At this moment, Daoist Hong Yun Daoist was not in the mortal world but located within the Foundation Establishment realm, and what was shocking was that there was actually no Bi Wind around him!

The Bi Wind is the tribulation of the Foundation Establishment realm.

Whether early, middle, late, or perfect stage, as long as one is still a Foundation Establishment True Person, one must inevitably endure the erosion and corrosion of the soul and spirit caused by the Bi Wind.

However, at this moment, the area where Daoist Hong Yun Daoist stood, though not large, truly had not a shred of Bi Wind; even Bi Wind from the outside, when passing through this area, would shatter like waves crashing against a reef, unable to blow in at all.

And this is even the result after damage.

Recalling the past, when he sat high above the seat, how loud was the reputation of the 【Longyao Treasure Light Grotto-Heaven】? Truly, all True Persons came to pay homage and sought refuge under his banner.

Now it has turned into this state.

The former 【Longyao Treasure Light Grotto-Heaven】 shattered; although he struggled desperately to save it, only this fragment, barely worthy of being called a Blessed Land, remained.

Even so, he almost failed to master it.

The reason was simple: he was too weak.

A hundred years ago, his cultivation had only barely recovered to the middle Foundation Establishment stage, so weak that even the Master of Mending Heaven Peak knew it clearly and even dared to challenge him publicly.

For this reason, he had to fish multiple times within the Holy Sect, usurping luck.

Only after creating Xiao Shaye and obtaining the fortune of the Colorful Merit Fish did he have enough confidence to immediately conceal his karmic ties and cultivate in seclusion for a hundred years.

Until a hundred years later, to this day, he finally refined the fragment of the grotto-heaven left behind in the past into the current 【Treasure Radiance Blessed Land】, barely restoring his cultivation to the perfect Foundation Establishment stage, yet still worried about being discovered, so he has been hiding in the Blessed Land, daring not to appear.

After all, Daoist Hong Yun Daoist knew about the one behind Chongguang, True Lord Qingcheng Feixue.

She is a madwoman.

True Person Chongguang was raised by her hand; achieving the Dao would greatly benefit her cultivation, so she would absolutely not tolerate anyone disrupting all of this.

Previously, it was because he was too weak, so she did not act.

But once she learns that he has recovered to perfect Foundation Establishment and can compete with True Person Chongguang, she will absolutely not mind crushing him beforehand!

However, now, Daoist Hong Yun Daoist found himself in a dilemma.

"Blood Demon... he is a good seedling; if I can raise him up to replace me in competing with Chongguang, perhaps he can attract some attention for me."

Daoist Hong Yun Daoist calculated with his fingers, and understanding instantly arose in his heart.

"So that's it; the karma of the 【Abyss Sword】 has caused trouble; he is currently being hunted by sword cultivators in Jiangnan, which is why he wants to seek my help."

At first glance, it seems there is no danger.

Although he has now fallen from the seat, his Daoist attainment remains; under the deduction of heavenly secrets, few can deceive him unless they are related to a True Lord.

For example, if they carry an avatar of a True Lord.

Or for example, the Daoist sin of failing to seek the Golden.

"Hahaha."

Thinking this, Daoist Hong Yun Daoist couldn't help but laugh aloud; he knew Blood Demon True Person's capabilities, so how could he have provoked enemies of such a level?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

In his calculation, the strongest was merely that middle Foundation Establishment sword cultivator from the Sword Pavilion; while indeed formidable at the middle Foundation Establishment stage, for himself who has recovered to perfect Foundation Establishment, it is nothing more than a matter of a single finger, and there is absolutely no need to worry.

"... Then I shall go there!"

With this thought, Daoist Hong Yun Daoist finally hesitated no more, brushed his sleeve, rose, and walked toward Blood Demon True Person's direction, while simultaneously sending him a message.

"Let me hold on a bit longer?"

Feeling the message transmitted through the great web of karma, Blood Demon True Person was slightly stunned; this was wrong, wasn't it? Does a True Lord's intervention require me to hold on a bit longer?

Shouldn't they directly break through the void and use a giant hand to scoop me away?

A bad premonition arose in Blood Demon True Person's heart, but regardless, Daoist Hong Yun Daoist's response was at least a hope, so he did not think too much further.

"Hmm?"

Watching Ye Xingfeng's sword light about to strike before his eyes, Blood Demon True Person suddenly felt a sensation, looked toward a certain direction, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.

"The third divine wonder of the 【Abyss Sword】 has been activated?"

"Excellent!"

The next second, Blood Demon True Person suddenly manipulated the magical formula, sneering: "Ignorant junior, using my treasure, do you really think I would not leave a backup plan?"

Almost simultaneously, in another region.

Lu Yang had just found the other He Dao members of the Xian Alliance; except for Lin Lao, who held the 【Imperial Mansion Golden Seal Dushu True Edict】, everyone else had been slain by him.

And the result was exactly as he had expected.

After devouring the true qi and flesh-blood of eleven Dao-merging True Persons, the state of the 【Abi Sword】 was completely restored to perfection, and the third divine mystery emerged with it.

Its name is: 【Famous Vessel】

"Under the heavens, only a name and a vessel cannot be lent to others. The sword master recognized by the 【Famous Vessel】 always enjoys the primary control over the 【Abi Sword】."

In an instant, Lu Yang's face darkened like water.

This was actually a master-recognition divine mystery!

The next second, the 【Abi Sword】, which had just returned to its peak, suddenly trembled, severing its connection with Lu Yang in an instant, as if it were about to break through the void and fly away!

It was obvious that the Blood Demon True Person was the sword master recognized by the 【Famous Vessel】; from beginning to end, he was the true master of the 【Abi Sword】. The reason he sent the 【Abi Sword】 away, besides sharing the heavenly punishment, was likely to use an outsider's hand to repair and perfect it!

Now that it is repaired, he naturally wants to take it back!
