Chapter 315: The Secret of the Millennium Tribulation!

As the words fell, the voice of the Primordial True Person echoed through the clouds like rolling thunder.

Immediately after, Lu Yang exhaled deeply, for the instant the Primordial True Person's words ceased, numerous memories surfaced in his mind.

These memories did not belong to him.

Instead, they were remembered "out of thin air"; he could even perceive the strangeness of the memories slowly drilling out of his mind, being recalled by him.

These memories were the rules of 【No-Heaven】.

"Within 【No-Heaven】, there are five scenes in total, each corresponding to a tribulation the Primordial True Person encountered five thousand years ago."

"It was precisely because of these five tribulations that the Primordial True Person ultimately stopped at Foundation Establishment."

"The so-called 'breaking the tribulation to emerge' means for me to enter 【No-Heaven】 and, in the identity of the 'Primordial True Person,' resolve the scenes corresponding to those five tribulations."

"Break one tribulation, and you gain one supernatural power."

"Break all five tribulations, and you can command 【No-Heaven】!"

Lu Yang suddenly understood in his heart: what breaking tribulations and holding a seat were all empty; the key was that this was a cultivation method corresponding to the seat of 【No-Heaven】!

'A seat is held high in the heavens, supported by the multitude of cultivators below!'

Lu Yang immediately recalled the characteristics of a seat: 'Without cultivators to support it, although the seat's power remains unchanged, it will vanish into the world, making it difficult to attain.'

'Just like 【No-Heaven】 now, with no one cultivating, it has not yet truly reached perfection!'

Thinking of this, Lu Yang could not help but look at the Primordial True Person, his heart filled with indescribable shock; in the past, True Lord Qingcheng Feixue had personally spoken of attaining the void as something ethereal and illusory.

Yet looking at this situation, 【No-Heaven】 possessed almost all the characteristics of a seat!

How did he do it?

Relying solely on 【Long Flowing Water】? Or using part of the power drawn in by Daoic Sin? If attaining the void were so simple, how could no one have ever succeeded?

Moreover, the Primordial True Person's attainment of the void was different; in his past life, Lu Yang had heard True Lord Qingcheng Feixue explain that even the essence of a First-Rank True Art's attainment of the void was actually plundering from the outside, not creating from nothing. Yet the 【No-Heaven】 attested by the Primordial True Person was truly creating something from nothing!

"Fellow Daoist, your reputation is well-deserved."

Thinking of this, Lu Yang clasped his hands in admiration and then tentatively said, "Truly the incarnation of the millennium tribulation's fate."

". Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the Primordial True Person, who had been quite calm, suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Incarnation of the tribulation's fate... Fellow Daoist, is that how you perceive it?"

"This is what a True Lord in my sect said."

"Oh, then it is no wonder."

Speaking thus, the Primordial True Person gave a cold smile: "A group of insects, selfish people who benefit neither heaven nor earth; such slander against me is normal."

Hearing this, Lu Yang's eyebrows rose slightly.

Slander? So the incarnation of the tribulation's fate is false?

The next second, the Primordial True Person looked at him and continued, "Do you know what the millennium tribulation is?"

"This junior has a slight guess." Lu Yang clasped his hands and said, "This junior guesses that the millennium tribulation is the tribulation of wars between this realm and many realms beyond the heavens."

". Ho!"

Hearing this, the Primordial True Person nodded: "To guess this point, it seems the power behind you indeed has a True Lord presiding."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yang immediately cursed inwardly.

No wonder he suddenly asked about me; this is a probe to confirm whether I truly have a True Lord behind me?

"The theory of war is largely correct."

The Primordial True Person continued:

"The so-called millennium tribulation is indeed a tribulation of war between realms; it is a great war where all True Lords of this realm jointly attack the heavens and break realms to swallow the seats of other realms."

"This was originally a good thing."

"After all, after swallowing the seats of other realms, the seat of our heaven and earth would constantly rise, and the strength of the True Lords would also increase accordingly."

"However... True Lords are all selfish people!"

Speaking thus, a hint of anger permeated the Primordial True Person's tone: "They discovered that the gains from warring against realms actually did not need to be integrated into the heaven and earth."

"They did not integrate the resources seized from warring against realms into the heaven and earth; instead, they chose to integrate them into their own grotto-heavens, thereby allowing their grotto-heavens to never fall, and subsequently completely monopolizing the seats. The result is that the gains from every war between realms were privately swallowed by these True Lords!"

"Clearly, if integrated into the heaven and earth, as the seat grew stronger, they would also grow stronger."

"Simply a group of insects!" As the words fell, the Primordial True Person waved his sleeve: "How can one manage heaven and earth well while being with such a group of insects?"

"." Lu Yang said nothing.

Although the Primordial True Person was filled with righteous indignation and it sounded reasonable at first hearing, upon careful thought, Lu Yang actually agreed more with the behavior of the True Lords.

The reason was simple.

A Jin Dan True Lord lives only a thousand years; although they have no mystery of the womb and can reincarnate continuously, belonging to a form of alternate immortality, they are not eternal masters of the seat.

Therefore, what meaning is there for a True Lord to integrate gains into the seat? What if they become stronger? It does not extend their lifespan; even if they raise the seat to be plump and white, if they die when their lifespan ends, fall from the seat, and someone else seizes it first, wouldn't I have lost everything to my ancestors?

A lifetime of cultivation, all serving as a wedding dress for others.

Who could accept that?

Compared to that, integrating the gains from warring against realms into one's own grotto-heaven, while a loss for the heaven and earth's seat, is a bloody profit for the True Lord!

'No wonder... I misunderstood before!'

'I previously thought a Second-Rank True Art was integrating the seats of other realms into one's own seat; now it seems it should be integrating them into one's own grotto-heaven!'

'That is why the characteristic of the mid-stage Jin Dan is that the grotto-heaven does not fall!'

Lu Yang instantly understood in his heart and formed a guess about the cultivation of True Lords: For a True Lord, the seat might be an important object for maintaining their status.

But it is not the foundation!

The foundation of a True Lord is always their own grotto-heaven!

Thinking of this, Lu Yang looked at the Primordial True Person again: "Forgive this junior's dullness; this matter is a secret of the True Lords. I wonder what relation it has to Senior?"

"Because I am different from them."

The True Person of Innate Nature spoke plainly: "The True Lords have privately swallowed the spoils of the World-Heaven war; Heaven and Earth naturally require another person to assist it, and I am that person."

"The theory that I am the incarnation of calamity and fate is half-true and half-false, but I do indeed possess a measure of Heaven and Earth's blessing and merit upon my body, which is why the True Lords have taken action!"

"After all, the harvest from the World-Heaven has already been monopolized by them; how could they allow another mouth to appear?"

"So they devised a scheme to ambush me, halting my progress at Foundation Establishment; in this way, even though I participated in the World-Heaven war, I could only take away resources suitable for Foundation Establishment."

"As for the fruits of the various World-Heavens, they remain exclusively theirs to enjoy."

Lu Yang immediately understood.

Damn it, how sinister!

Speaking of this, the True Person of Innate Nature suddenly punched his palm: "Among them, the True Lord of one family is the most disgusting! It is that damn Chu Sheng Sect."

As his words fell, he glanced at Lu Yang again: "Daoist friend, you wouldn't happen to be from the Chu Sheng Sect, would you?"

"Of course not."

Lu Yang, without hesitation, decisively severed ties, speaking with a calm expression: "I am a disciple of the Sword Pavilion! The current leader of the Righteous Path; how could I consort with demons?"

"Is that so."

Hearing this, the True Person of Innate Nature nodded, then looked again in other directions; he had not only asked Lu Yang this question, but had asked everyone who had entered.

The answers he received varied.

Among them, 【Ang Xiao】, like Lu Yang, chose to sever ties: "Although I was once of the Mo Sect in the past, I deeply felt the treachery of the Mo Sect and long ago defected from the sect."

And the True Lord Qingcheng Feixue placed her hands on her hips and laughed loudly:

"Correct! I am indeed a True Lord of the Holy Sect!"

"What will you do about it?"

Retracting his gaze, the True Person of Innate Nature's expression was calm: "Whether you are or are not, this is our first meeting, and perhaps our last."

'After all, the next time we meet, we must wait until you break through the Five Tribulations.'

'At that time, you and I shall discuss the Dao together.'

As his words fell, his figure quietly vanished; then the clouds parted and the mist dispersed, and Lu Yang felt his body, which had been floating as if in a fairyland, suddenly drop.

"Boom!"

The next second, Lu Yang lost consciousness.
