Chapter 260: Heavenly Demon Enters the World
In the quiet chamber, Lu Yang looked at the immortal fetus duplicate he had nurtured and refined over three months using the Nine Sons Mother Heavenly Demon Sword of Demon-Slaying with great curiosity, inspecting it from head to toe.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Lu Yang nodded in satisfaction and slowly circulated his magic power; almost simultaneously, the immortal fetus duplicate before him opened its eyes, and their gazes met.
A wonderful sensation immediately arose in Lu Yang's sea of consciousness; the originally unified perspective suddenly split, allowing him to inspect the surrounding environment simultaneously from the perspectives of both the immortal fetus duplicate and the original body. The reason for this was that he had not injected his own divine sense into the immortal fetus duplicate.
If divine sense were injected, everything could be driven by that single thread of divine sense.
Lu Yang would only need to accept information transmitted by the divine sense when necessary, avoiding the trouble of having to control both parties simultaneously as he did now.
However, Lu Yang did not do so.
The reason was simple: splitting divine sense was too dangerous! A single slip could cause the duplicate to develop its own self-awareness, something Lu Yang could not tolerate.
"It is better for me to operate it personally!"
Although doing so meant the original body would have to enter seclusion while the duplicate acted, he had not intended to wander about aimlessly anyway.
"But just in case."
Thinking this, Lu Yang formed a hand seal with one hand and then began carving onto the body of the immortal fetus duplicate; clearly, these were rows of glaringly bright prohibitions!
Without exception, all these prohibitions were designed for self-destruction, and they were of the type where no solution was considered after their design, ensuring that the moment Lu Yang had the thought, the immortal fetus duplicate would instantly turn to ash, leaving not even a piece of flesh behind; this was for safety's sake.
After finishing all this, Lu Yang took out another object.
It was a yellowish earth qi; merely being held in Lu Yang's hands, it manifested an indescribable sense of heaviness, as if a high mountain.
Earth Vein Qi!
This was something Duobao Tongzi had given him previously in the Qing Kingdom, which he had kept treasured, planning to use it at a critical moment to deal a huge blow to his enemies.
"Using it now is just right!"
Lu Yang placed the Earth Vein Qi in his palm, then gathered magic power in his mouth and blew gently; the Earth Vein Qi immediately scattered and merged into the immortal fetus duplicate.
"After merging this thread of Earth Vein Qi, the current immortal fetus duplicate is a suicide truck; whoever plots against me and destroys my immortal fetus duplicate will be settled with by Heaven and Earth afterward! And by relying on the disaster-avoiding effect of the immortal fetus duplicate, I myself will not be tainted by even a shred of karma."
A perfect combination!
Immediately after, Lu Yang pondered for a moment, handed the Formless Sword to the immortal fetus duplicate, and then successively took out several superior spiritual treasures from his person.
The Hundred-Breaking Subduing Danger Profound Cloak.
The Ziwei Official Descending Supreme Golden Seal.
The Jingping Clearing Atmosphere Precious Pagoda.
Plus the various spiritual treasures and magical implements used to construct the River of Ten Thousand Treasures.
Except for the A-Bi Sword, the Ten Thousand Spirits Banner, the Ultimate Heaven Instrument, and the Imperial Mansion Golden Script Dousu True Decree, these four supreme treasures, Lu Yang gave everything else to the immortal fetus duplicate.
"Now this looks the part."
Lu Yang smiled slightly, then circulated his magic power and began interacting with the immortal fetus duplicate; soon, the colorful manifestations of his supernatural powers on his body vanished one by one.
Immediately, the same colorful manifestations spread out from around the immortal fetus duplicate, instantly raising the duplicate's cultivation to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment; even the buff from the Imperial Mansion Golden Script Dousu True Decree was not missed, and at a glance, it was clearly a True Person at the mid-stage perfection!
"Pity that once I cut the connection, it will immediately become mundane."
"If it could maintain mid-stage Foundation Establishment combat power without my buff, that would be a truly formidable technique, equivalent to creating a True Person out of thin air."
But for now, it was enough.
Lu Yang nodded, did not go out, and simply sat on the cushion with his original body, while the immortal fetus duplicate moved around briefly on the spot before lifting its head and walking out.
"Yuan Tu has kept this lady waiting for a long time!"
At the Sacred Fire Cliff, True Person Miaoyin looked at the "Lu Yang" descending on a flight of light, her delicate brows furrowing slightly; she felt something was wrong but could not say where.
【36】 "This lady has kept you waiting for a long time."
"This lady has kept you waiting for a long time."
Lu Yang chuckled lightly, then clasped his hands and said, "After all, the Outer Heavens are fraught with danger; I had to take extra precautions, and I hope Lady will not hold it against me."
"What are you saying? How could I hold it against you?" True Person Miaoyin covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, suppressing the doubts in her heart for the moment, and then reminded, "The Wan Wu Jie we are heading to has already nurtured a fruit seat, and it is very sensitive; once we enter the realm, we will immediately become the target of all."
"I see."
Lu Yang nodded and asked curiously, "So, how shall we enter the realm? Must we abandon our cultivation and start from zero within the Wan Wu Jie?"
"How is that possible!"
True Person Miaoyin laughed in disbelief: "We enter the realm to gather qi, to strip away the essence of Heaven and Earth to increase our Dao cultivation; abandoning our cultivation would be putting the cart before the horse, wouldn't it?"
"Naturally, we enter in full strength!"
Lu Yang immediately understood; the so-called "gathering qi" was essentially robbery, and since he was coming to rob, how could he possibly follow the rules within the realm of Heaven?
"However, Daoist friend, do not be careless; there are formidable figures within the Wan Wu Jie as well."
Hearing this, Lu Yang immediately became curious: "Oh? I wonder what kind of divine and wonderful cultivation is practiced in the Wan Wu Jie? Could there be cultivators comparable to Great True Persons?"
"Naturally, there are."
True Person Miaoyin nodded, then shook her head: "However, the fruit seat of the Wan Wu Jie was born not long ago; under normal circumstances, it would not allow a Great True Person to appear. Only after we enter it, out of self-preservation, will it spawn a Great True Person to try and surround and annihilate us."
"Oh?"
True Person Miaoyin's words revealed something that concerned Lu Yang greatly: a fruit seat born not long ago does not allow a Great True Person to appear?
Why?
As Lu Yang pondered, he had already followed True Person Miaoyin to the front of a towering grand hall, where dense and complex array patterns inside the hall made one's eyes dizzy.
"This place is named the Tongtian Hall."
True Person Miaoyin explained: "Like the Law Refining Secret Realm, it was left by the Ancestor and is a superior True Treasure; we use this treasure to travel to the Outer Heavens."
Hearing this, Lu Yang's expression immediately became solemn.
Nascent Soul Supreme Treasure!
Immediately, True Person Miaoyin was seen standing inside the Tongtian Hall, clasping her hands in a bow and saying, "Lord Tongtian, we hope you will send us on a journey to the Wan Wu Jie."
The next second, colorful light appeared within the hall.
From within the colorful light, a figure bounced out; it was a handsome Daoist boy, looking delicate and cute, wearing a loose Daoist robe.
In his hand he held paper and a brush; his eyes flowed with shimmering starlight, displaying myriad phenomena, while drool still lingered at the corner of his mouth. He seemed to have just been sound asleep, suddenly startled awake, quickly wiped the corner of his mouth, then clasped his hands behind his back and walked before True Person Miao Yin and Lu Yang with an air of grave maturity.
"So it is you who disturbed this Ancestor's seclusion?"
The Daoist boy spoke with an air of arrogance, one hand holding paper and a brush, while the other chubby little hand spread open and waved vigorously at the two of them.
What is this?
Lu Yang was stunned, only realizing the truth when he saw True Person Miao Yin, as if by long habit, produce a magical treasure and hand it over. Now he understood completely! This was a demand for a gift!
Damn, no wonder they are the Holy Sect!
Lu Yang cursed inwardly, yet his expression remained unmoved. He likewise handed over a magical treasure of a cute design, which immediately made the Daoist boy beam with joy.
"Good, good, good! Excellent, you understand propriety!"
"Wan Wu Jie, is it? Let this Ancestor see... hmm, you cultivate the 'Qian Tian Yi Yuan Comprehensive Divine Art of the Myriad Gods', indeed this is that realm of heaven."
Having finished speaking, the Daoist boy merely waved his large hand.
The next second, Lu Yang instantly felt a dizzying whirl of heaven and earth, as if placed within a void of darkness; his consciousness was, in an instant, lifted upward, sent into the sky, and then plummeted down!
"Boom!"
