Chapter 305: A Terrifying Scene, Meeting Ang Xiao Again!

Long-Yao Precious Light Cave Heaven!

This single name occupied only a tiny fraction of Lu Yang's memories from his past life; had his cultivation not been high enough, he would not have recalled it at all.

'Formerly, Master Chongguang mentioned it to me.'

'The True Person of Heavenly Fortune and Bright Light opened the palace, established the cave heaven, and ten thousand true ones came to pay homage, earning the title 【Long-Yao Precious Light Cave Heaven】, like the rising sun hanging high, unyielding in the clouds for a thousand years.'

'Daoist Hong Yun Daoist!'

The so-called 【True Person of Heavenly Fortune and Bright Light】 was the Daoist title of Daoist Hong Yun Daoist before his reincarnation, while 【Long-Yao Precious Light Cave Heaven】 was his symbol.

'This fragment of a cave heaven actually belongs to Daoist Hong Yun Daoist!?'

Thinking of this, Lu Yang's mind immediately became active; after all, among those related to the True Person, Daoist Hong Yun Daoist was the easiest to handle.

Back then, even the Peak Master of Mending Heaven dared to shout at him twice!

Naturally, the danger level of the cave heaven fragment he left behind was not that high, and it was very likely that some good things were truly left inside!

Lu Yang recalled the Daoist Hong Yun Daoist he had seen in his past life; at that time, the other party had already restored his cultivation to the peak of Foundation Establishment and had refined a 【Precious Fortune Land】. Now thinking back, perhaps he had found this fragment of the cave heaven left here, refined it, and thus was able to recover!

'A Fortune Land.'

Lu Yang's eyes rolled; 【Si Fire】 was the fire of the furnace and smelting, the long life of Metal. If he, as a Geng Metal Immortal Spirit in this life, could nurture within it...

the benefits would be immense!

However, the next second, Lu Yang regained his calm: 'No rush. If matters are handled slowly, they become perfect; if people are slow, they find safety. Let True Person Xiaohai explore properly first.'

Once his resolve was set, True Person Xiaohai, who had originally been terrified by the horrific scene of the cave heaven fragment and the fire snake transformed from Si Fire, with a hidden desire to retreat in his heart, immediately changed his mind: 'It is not easy for me to enter here; if I cannot bring something back for my clan, how can I justify the clan's support over so many years?'

Thinking of this, True Person Xiaohai again felt a sense of luck:

'Our Li family has cultivated for ten generations; to obtain this heavenly opportunity means fortune has descended upon us; perhaps there is no risk.'

Take a gamble!

With this thought, True Person Xiaohai immediately mustered his magic power, and at the same time, a miniature golden boat appeared in his hand, emitting a massive fluctuation of spiritual energy.

A superior spiritual treasure, the 【Territory-Opening Ship】!

The wonder of this magical treasure is called 【Territory-Opening】, possessing the ability to break disasters and resolve difficulties; now, with the wonder's support, True Person Xiaohai's heart gained even more confidence.

Immediately following, under the protection of the spiritual treasure, he strode into the dilapidated palace at the snake's head, and then, with a single glance, saw in the center of the palace three jade slips placed on an ancient, simple desk; bathed in the firelight of Si Fire, they were not only undamaged but actually glowed softly.

'Opportunity!'

True Person Xiaohai grew even more excited; disregarding damage to the 【Territory-Opening Ship】, he forcibly endured the imposing light and scorching of Si Fire, stepping forward one by one until he reached the front of the desk.

With a sweep of his divine sense, the contents of the three jade slips immediately came into view.

And borrowing True Person Xiaohai's perspective, Lu Yang naturally took it all in; he saw that the nature of the three jade slips and the fields they involved were all different.

'The True Explanation of Inner Observation of the Void Cave and Heaven and Earth,' 'The Upper Bright Gold Cup and Jade Light,' 'The Bright Light Daily Records.'

Lu Yang's eyes instantly lit up brightly!

With his current cultivation, he could naturally see the value of the three jade slips; to put it bluntly, each one would be a priceless treasure if placed in the outside world!

'The True Explanation of Inner Observation of the Void Cave and Heaven and Earth; this is a secret method for creating a Fortune Land and constructing a Cave Heaven!'

This is not for ordinary True Persons to use!

To use this, one must at least be a Great True Person at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and only at the True Person level can its wonders be truly unleashed!

'Such a secret method was probably deduced by the 【True Person of Heavenly Fortune and Bright Light】 of Daoist Hong Yun Daoist in the past, used to manage his own cave heaven, and perhaps even involves the cultivation of a True Person. But such a wonderful method, involving the very foundation of True Person cultivation, how could it be placed here?'

Lu Yang tightly closed his spiritual platform, his expression growing increasingly tense.

The second jade slip, 'The Upper Bright Gold Cup and Jade Light,' had content equally exaggerated; it was a secret method for sensing the 【Covered Fu Fu Fu Deng Huo】, and likewise a foundation for a True Person!

'This is almost something one can encounter but not seek!'

'Because this is equivalent to a True Person on a fruit seat intentionally opening a backdoor on the fruit seat, and then recording the key to that backdoor.'

What difference is there between this and seeking death?

Such things involving the foundation; if passed to others, would they compete with him for the seat?

'No... This should have been left by Daoist Hong Yun Daoist for himself; it is likely a backdoor he planned to leave so that after his thousand-year lifespan ended and he reincarnated, he could ascend to the fruit seat again!'

Thinking of this, doubt gradually appeared on Lu Yang's face.

This doesn't seem right; just looking at this, Daoist Hong Yun Daoist was clearly prepared for his reincarnation, and very thoroughly, with preparations in all aspects.

But what was the result?

'According to what Master Chongguang said, he perished in the great calamity five thousand years ago; during those full five thousand years, he reincarnated frequently, yet never ascended to the seat again.'

'... He didn't even attempt it.'

'The remaining fruit seats in the present are few; it is precisely because of this that Master Chongguang resolved to seek the 【Covered Fu Fu Fu Deng Huo】 and compete with Daoist Hong Yun Daoist for the seat.'

At the time, it seemed fine, but looking at it now... it is unreasonable!

At least, judging from the first two jade slips, Daoist Hong Yun Daoist's preparations were quite perfect; he would absolutely not be unable to even attempt ascending to the seat for a full five thousand years.

Quickly, Lu Yang followed True Person Xiaohai's gaze to look at the third jade slip.

'The Bright Light Daily Records.'

This one was relatively much simpler; it was Daoist Hong Yun Daoist's diary, recording his insights and experiences while he was still on the True Person seat.

However, the next second, Lu Yang was greatly shaken in his heart.

Because on one page of 'The Bright Light Daily Records,' a sentence was written clearly:

'Recently, it was discovered that 【Chen Earth】 seems to have changed; alas, at this time of the thousand-year great calamity, heavenly secrets are obscured, making it difficult to calculate cause and effect; subsequently, methods should be devised to investigate in detail.'

【Chen Earth】!

Lu Yang never expected that Daoist Hong Yun Daoist had actually discovered the abnormal situation of 【Chen Earth】 five thousand years ago, while still on the True Person seat!

However, in this way, everything becomes explainable.

The reason Daoist Hong Yun Daoist perished when he was still a True Person in the past must have been a dark hand by Ang Xiao behind the scenes! Because he knew too much!

'Perhaps the jade slips here are wrong! These jade slips were not left by Daoist Hong Yun Daoist! How could secret methods concerning one's own Dao path be written down? If it were me, I would definitely keep them firmly in my heart; the reason they became jade slips is probably because they were forcibly extracted from Daoist Hong Yun Daoist's memories!'

【Knowledge Barrier】!

Only thus can Daoist Hong Yun Dao Ren's situation be explained.

Why could he not reclaim his position for five thousand years? Because the two backup measures he left behind in life—along with all related memories—were deliberately stripped and forgotten!

Without the "True Explanation of Inner Contemplation of the Void Heavens," he could not easily re-refine his Blessed Land and Cavern Heaven.

Without the "Upper Radiant Golden Cup of Jade Light," he could not perfectly sense the 【Extinguished Flame】.

With these two gone, what difference is there from starting over to seek the Golden Core? If someone else interfered, it would be perfectly normal for him to remain unable to reclaim his position for five thousand years!

【Wait.】

Suddenly, Lu Yang's expression changed: Daoist Hong Yun Dao Ren's past life had already re-refined a Blessed Land, meaning he ultimately found this fragment of Cavern Heaven.

But as the mastermind behind it all, 【Ang Xiao】 would allow such a thing to happen?

Daoist Hong Yun Dao Ren's past life was killed by Feixue True Person—why? Because Xue Mo Dao Ren, at the time, had rushed headlong into his own trap without a second thought.

【. Hss!】

At that moment, even merely borrowing Xiao Hai True Person's perspective, Lu Yang still felt an indescribable, bone-chilling cold.

For at the very edge of Xiao Hai True Person's vision.

Amidst the flickering Si Fire, a figure suddenly appeared.

He stood there within the flames, studying Xiao Hai True Person with keen interest, as if he had never left—only Xiao Hai True Person had simply never remembered him.

In an instant, Lu Yang nearly ceased thinking.

【【Ang Xiao】!!!】

His jet-black eyes, smiling gaze, at that moment seemed to pierce through Xiao Hai True Person's flesh and skin, landing upon Lu Yang, who hid behind him.
