Chapter 242: Obstacle of Knowledge and View

"So that's how it is!"

Prompted by his own world-shaking wisdom, Lu Yang instantly grasped the truth, feeling as though a thin veil that had always shrouded his mind had finally been lifted.

【Yin Yin Long Shui】, Chen Earth, inherently Yang!

Now, recalling it, which four Cheng Cheng Tian Gang and Earthly Fiends does the Fruit Seat 【Covering Fu Fu Fu Deng Huo】 that Master Chongguang seeks to prove require? And how do they combine?

【Ageless Paulownia】, Jia Wood, belongs to Yang.

【Yin Yin Long Shui】, Chen Earth, belongs to Yin.

【Fear of Felling】, Yi Wood, belongs to Yin.

【Fierce Flame Furnace】, Si Fire, belongs to Yin.

Three Yin and one Yang—how can they harmonize? A truly perfect and flawless Fruit Seat should be a pair of Yin and Yang! Master Chongguang's path was wrong from the very root!

"The key lies in Chen Earth. In 【Yin Yin Long Shui】, this Cheng Cheng Tian Gang and Earthly Fiend should have been Yang Earth, but its nature was twisted into Yin Earth. This is why, even after receiving the guidance of Covering Fu Fu Fu Deng Huo, Master Chongguang's path could not harmonize with it, and even triggered rejection!"

Lu Yang almost immediately understood.

"And the Primordial True Person likely fell to this as well! He sought to prove 【Long Flowing Water】, and this Fruit Seat also requires the Qi of Chen Earth!"

What is 【Long Flowing Water】?

The Cheng Cheng Tian Gang 【Ren Water】 and 【Gui Water】, combined with the Earthly Fiends 【Chen Earth】 and 【Si Fire】, can achieve it. But since 【Chen Earth】 was twisted into Yin nature...

This Fruit Seat is ruined too!

Besides this, which other Fruit Seats also require the use of 【Chen Earth】?

In an instant, the Sky-Examining Instrument between Lu Yang's brows spun rapidly, deducing the secrets of heaven, his fingers rubbing until they seemed to spark: "Besides this... there are three more Fruit Seats!"

【White Wax Metal】, 【Sand Within Earth】, and 【Great Lin Mu】!

Past memories instantly surged to his heart, nearly making Lu Yang cry out: "【Great Lin Mu】... Observing the Jin Dan Intent! That 【Lord Ao Xiao, Hiding the Sun】!"

A True Lord of the Holy Sect!

The infamous shame of the Holy Sect, the old good man recognized by all factions; at the time, I felt something was off, and now it seems there truly was a problem!

However, his conclusion did not move Master Chongguang; instead, he shook his head: "【Lord Ao Xiao, Hiding the Sun】 died in a Great Calamity tens of thousands of years ago, just like the former Hong Yun. It is said he was sold out by several True Lords of the Holy Sect. Tens of thousands of years without ascending the throne, he is likely dead and gone."

"However... the various True Lords should also be suspecting him."

After all, the mere four words "originating from the Holy Sect" already constitute grounds for suspicion, which is why so many True Lords are silently waiting outside the Blessed Land at this moment.

"They are all waiting for me."

Master Chongguang True Person, hands clasped behind his back, smiled faintly: "Waiting for me to make one last desperate gamble, forcing the other party to reveal themselves, and then completely exposing their true face."

At the same time, outside the Blessed Land.

"Boom—!"

The auras of True Lords from all factions erupted violently. True Lord Qing Cheng Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue gritted her silver teeth, her beautiful eyes, clear as autumn water, revealing a touch of manic scarlet red:

"I clearly saw it, witnessed it, yet I simply could not figure it out, could not guess it... What a 【Obstacle of Knowledge and View】!"

Although the change in the Qi of Chen Earth was subtle, theoretically, a Jin Dan True Person who has lived for countless ages could not be unaware of its attributes before it was altered.

Yet, no one noticed it!

This 【Obstacle of Knowledge and View】, whose power affects the entire heaven and earth and can even deceive Jin Dan True Lords, is no longer something an ordinary True Lord can wield.

"Late stage... or even perfect?"

"Altering 【Chen Earth】, single-handedly sealing off five Fruit Seats at once, completing the five elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Someone is seeking to prove Nascent Soul, to seize the Dao Lord!"

"Ao Xiao!?"

In an instant, not only the True Lords of the four factions, but even from beyond the seas, a mighty aura surged toward the sky, scanning heaven and earth, revealing emotions of shock and anger.

No one wishes to see a new Dao Lord emerge.

For the inland regions, Jiangdong, Jiangxi, Jiangnan, and Jiangbei, the four factions balance each other; adding one more Dao Lord would only break the balance, and no one would benefit.

And it is even more so beyond the seas. The Four Seas Gate has multiple Golden Core cultivators stationed there, dominating alone. If another Dao Lord emerged who could not establish a foothold inland, they would most likely come to the seas. At that point, it would be as if a retired emperor stood above their heads. Who could allow such a thing?

At the same time, just as Master Chongguang had thought.

The 【Great Lin Mu】 Fruit Seat is far too conspicuous. Moreover, since the original owner of 【Covering Fu Fu Fu Deng Huo】, the Daoist Hong Yun, is dead, it is hard not to associate it with him.

"Ao Xiao... is it really him?"

"Even if it is Ao Xiao, he cannot be allowed to remain!"

"If someone from the Initial Holy Sect is truly seeking to prove the Dao Lord... at all costs, stop him!"

In an instant, thoughts intertwined among all factions. Even within the Holy Sect, above the Cloud Sea Reaching Heaven, the expression of True Lord Qing Cheng Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue fluctuated between gloom and clarity.

"Ao Xiao..."

She too harbored doubts. From the standpoint of the Holy Sect, she undoubtedly had to step forward, yet this time, she herself had suffered the greatest damage.

How could she bear to accept this?

If she had known earlier that 【Chen Earth】 had a problem, how could she have let Master Chongguang seek 【Covering Fu Fu Fu Deng Huo】? Damn it, why didn't anyone remind her?

You beast!

Thinking of this, True Lord Qing Cheng Qingcheng Qingcheng Feixue had already made her decision: Even if we are both True Lords of the Holy Sect, if you dare ruin my path, then it is life or death until the end!

Just then, inside the Blessed Land.

Master Chongguang had already brought Lu Yang to the center of the Blessed Land. Lu Yang glanced around and found that almost all the Foundation Establishment True Persons who had entered the Blessed Land had gathered there.

Ye Guyue and True Person Miao Yin were among them.

Especially True Person Miao Yin; seeing Master Chongguang but not seeing Chong Ming afterward, her pretty face changed slightly, and her beautiful eyes revealed a touch of resentment and hatred.

"Master Chongguang..."

In an instant, everyone's gaze fell upon Master Chongguang, who looked up at the sky and laughed loudly: "Indeed, I have kept everyone waiting for so long!"

Boom!

As his words fell, a thunderous sound that shook the heavens immediately erupted within the Blessed Land. The crowd of Foundation Establishment True Persons remained silent, for everyone present now clearly understood in their hearts.

Master Chongguang's words were not spoken to them.

The ones truly waiting long were the various True Persons standing around the blessed land now; a stream of invisible gazes descended, heavier than any physical mountain.

Only Master Chongguang remained calm.

And only then did Lu Yang realize belatedly, suddenly recalling a matter: clearly the Yin Yin Long Shui had long been altered in its yin-yang attributes by a great power,

so why could it still merge with the A-Bi Sword?

Unless—

'True Person Chongguang reversed it back!?'

Although Lu Yang did not know what method he used, there was no doubt that the Yin Yin Long Shui's ability to merge with the A-Bi Sword meant it had certainly reverted to Yang Earth!

This was the true 【Reverse】!

"Boom!"

The next second, Lu Yang looked up at the sky, only to see ten thousand miles of cloudless expanse, stars shining high; above the Foundation Establishment realm, within the Sea of Bitterness, light and shadow had suddenly reappeared.

【Overturning the Lamp Light】!

A second time!

Compared to the previous reversal of the 【Qing Kingdom】 rules, this manifestation of 【Overturning the Lamp Light】 was even more dazzling, even actively sending down a beam of guiding light!

For a moment, Lu Yang was simply awestruck.

'With all the True Persons watching, if that great power who altered the Chen Earth dares to appear, the True Persons will handle it themselves; moreover, if Master Chongguang can reverse the Chen Earth back, it is undoubtedly something all the True Persons would wish to see; not only would no one stop him, they would instead help him!'

But was this truly the will of the various True Persons?

Of course not!

The various True Persons had their own calculations; it was Master Chongguang who took the most crucial step, reversing the Chen Earth, which gave him this second chance now!

Master Chongguang spoke correctly.

From the very beginning, the backup plan he left was not some Re-Ming; at the final step of Seeking Gold, what he relied on, from start to finish, was himself!
