Chapter 332: Entering the No-Heaven Again!

Looking at the cultivators from the Profound Spirit Realm gathering outside the boat, Lu Yang's face showed no joy, only deep chill.

'I actually guessed right. Damn beasts!'

The Holy Sect actually used him as bait!

No, I spit, what Holy Sect? It is clearly the Jiangbeimo Sect! How can one cultivate well alongside such a group of evil demons?

In an instant, Lu Yang even began to doubt the Yushu Jiange; after all, he had witnessed the strangeness of these Sword Seeds from the Qi Refining stage all the way to Foundation Establishment. Although that True Person of Demon-Sweeping seemed like a good person, one knows the face but not the heart; who knows if he would sell him out too?

'... No, I must find a chance to enter the 【No-Heaven】!'

Although the body becomes completely defenseless after the consciousness enters the 【No-Heaven】, Lu Yang can use the 【Puppet on Strings】 to bypass this flaw.

Having made this decision, he was confident.

The world is vast, and heroes are as numerous as fish crossing the river; he was certainly not the only one to break through the First Tribulation, and his progress was actually far behind many others.

With the large-scale opening of the 【No-Heaven】 to the outside, corresponding intelligence had long leaked out.

Therefore, Lu Yang already knew about the Second Tribulation of the 【No-Heaven】; precisely because of this, he felt confident he could break through the tribulation and escape.

'Worth a try!'

With this thought, Lu Yang immediately sank his spirit into his sea of consciousness, circulated the 【Great Void Sacrifice Ritual Art】, and began to connect with the 【No-Heaven】 in the mysterious void.

"This Seat is Ming Hua."

Above the sky, the Celestial Immortal Ming Hua stood with hands clasped behind his back; his gaze immediately fell upon the True Person of Demon-Sweeping, and then his heart settled:

'Only one person!'

On the entire boat, there was only the True Person of Demon-Sweeping, a Great True Person at the peak of Foundation Establishment; besides him were Ye Guyue and Ye Xingfeng, both at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

As for the remaining elders of the Yun family and others, although there were a dozen or so, they were all at the early stage of Foundation Establishment and simply did not catch the eye of the Celestial Immortal Ming Hua; compared to them, his own side had himself, a Celestial Immortal, as the anchor, along with three Earth Immortals and seven Human Immortals; no matter how one looked at it, they were the side holding the advantage.

'... We win!'

Thinking this, the Celestial Immortal Ming Hua became much calmer: "Fellow Daoist, hand over Yu Shao and 【Shen Jin】, and today we can still remain at peace."

In his view, this was the momentum of a great mountain crushing an egg.

However, since the True Person of Demon-Sweeping was at the peak of Foundation Establishment, the Celestial Immortal Ming Hua did not want to force the man into a corner, so the thought of subduing the enemy without fighting arose in his mind.

However, what responded to him was a pair of pitying eyes.

"Fellow Daoist, return quickly."

The True Person of Demon-Sweeping sighed and said, "As far as I know, Fellow Daoist should have some understanding of this place; have you not yet realized?"

Hearing this, the Celestial Immortal Ming Hua blinked; he certainly had investigated, and a world possessing thirty fruit seats was indeed terrifying, but before coming he had invited a Supreme One to act, concealing the heavenly secrets; now no one could detect their presence, and as long as they looted once and left, what could be done to him?

This logic was very normal.

Was something wrong?

The Celestial Immortal Ming Hua completely failed to understand the implied meaning of the True Person of Demon-Sweeping's words, so he simply gave a cold smile: "So, Fellow Daoist refuses the toast only to drink the forfeit?"

"Form the formation!"

As the Celestial Immortal Ming Hua's words fell, in an instant, clouds rolled and unrolled, heaven and earth changed; looking out, the sky and sea of clouds had turned into a thousand-li red wilderness, a great sun in the sky burned with Xiong Xiong flames, rolling heat waves filled the surroundings, making one feel as if placed inside a cauldron, and the consumption of magic power suddenly intensified!

'【Great Sun Patrol Sky Map】 is complete!'

The Celestial Immortal Ming Hua felt excited in his heart; this formation was created in conjunction with a supreme treasure of the Profound Spirit Realm, possessing the power to trap heaven and earth and burn mountains and boil seas!

However, at the same time, everyone inside the boat was extremely calm.

Even the Yun family elders and others at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, facing this terrifying map capable of crushing them, showed no fear, and even felt a bit like laughing.

"Uncle?"

Ye Guyue looked at the True Person of Demon-Sweeping beside him; seeing his brows tightly furrowed, he immediately showed a look of surprise: "Do these people from beyond the heavens pose a threat to you?"

The True Person of Demon-Sweeping shook his head and said solemnly, "This great formation harms the harmony of heaven and earth; the sun patrols the sky, and if not controlled, it will accidentally harm the mortals below."

Hearing this, Ye Guyue understood that his uncle's flaw had struck again; he immediately said in a low voice, "Why is Uncle so pedantic? These few mortals are nothing; even if Uncle truly cherishes the mortals, one should still kill these people as soon as possible; otherwise, delaying further will accomplish nothing."

"I understand."

The True Person of Demon-Sweeping showed a look of contemplation and quickly made a decision: "No rush; let us first escape, and pull the battlefield to a higher place."

The higher the battlefield, the harder it is to affect the mortal world below.

As the words fell, the True Person of Demon-Sweeping joined two fingers toward the sky; he did not even draw his sword, but simply spat out thunderous sound, and layers of bright light illusions appeared behind him:

"Contending with words to kill is valuing righteousness above one's own body; thus it is said: Of all things, nothing is more precious than righteousness!"

In an instant, layers of illusions condensed at this moment, revealing jade towers and palaces, pavilions and halls, finally transforming into ten thousand pieces of Jin Xia that erupted in an instant!

"Boom!"

This eruption instantly shattered the divine sense of almost everyone present, leaving them like a lone boat under a violent storm, swaying and drifting; even the Celestial Immortal Ming Hua only felt dizzy and disoriented, with roaring in his ears, and what met his eyes was only a vast, boundless, indescribable heaven and earth—

【Virtue of Mystery Blessed Land】!

'What is this thing!?'

The Celestial Immortal Ming Hua completely failed to understand what he had seen; when his vision recovered, he discovered that the battlefield where both sides stood had been lifted into the air out of nowhere!

The pupils of the Celestial Immortal Ming Hua suddenly contracted; for the first time, he sensed something slightly wrong.

'This world, the people in the world... are all wrong!'

The Profound Spirit Realm does not have such a thing!

At this very moment, it was no longer them besieging the True Person of Demon-Sweeping, but rather they had fallen into the True Person of Demon-Sweeping's 【Virtue of Mystery Blessed Land】!

At the same time, inside the quiet room of the boat.

Lu Yang sat cross-legged; his split soul had wandered beyond the heavens, while his physical body, controlled via the 【Puppet on Strings】, kept constant watch on the situation outside.

'Why aren't they fighting?'

Lu Yang was somewhat surprised; although the True Person of Demon-Sweeping had already acted, he had always maintained restraint and showed no intention of engaging the Celestial Immortal Ming Hua in a fierce battle.

Why?

Before Lu Yang could figure it out, the next second, the True Person of Demon-Sweeping suddenly sent out a beam of blessed light from the Blessed Land, which fell directly upon the secret room where he was in seclusion!

'He wants to harm me!?'

Lu Yang became alert almost instantly; his mind remained calm, even carrying a hint of 'just as I expected': I knew there were no good people in the Yushu Jiange!

However, immediately after, his eyes widened.

He saw that the radiant light, after enveloping the secret chamber where he was in seclusion, did not forcibly break it open; instead, it wrapped around it layer by layer, protecting it tightly.

'Is he... protecting me?'

'Does he want to keep me safe?'

Protecting me specifically—does he have ulterior motives?

Lu Yang was still doubting when he noticed that the actions of the True Person Who Sweeps Away Demons did not stop; beams of radiant light descended, actually enveloping everyone inside the boat!

He is protecting everyone!

In an instant, Lu Yang almost doubted his own eyes.

Yet he was ultimately a sharp-minded person; although he could not understand the True Person Who Sweeps Away Demons's actions, he instantly realized this was a great opportunity.

'Regardless of whether he has any schemes, it does not matter.'

'As long as I seize this chance to obtain the second Great Void Divine Art, briefly restoring the combat power of a Great True Person, I will have the ability to protect myself no matter what situation I face!'

'In the end, one must rely on oneself!'

With this thought, Lu Yang hesitated no further.

His spirit sank into 【No Heaven】!

After a brief daze, Lu Yang's split soul opened its eyes.

In that instant, intense sorrow surged within the split soul's heart; these emotions crashed against its sea of consciousness like a breached flood, making it increasingly bewildered.

Who am I? Where am I? What place is this?

After a long while, this split soul gradually calmed its emotions; its gaze also slowly cleared, as if it had finally sorted everything out, and it murmured to itself in a low voice:

"I am the True Person of Innate Nature."

"I am Mu Changsheng."
