Chapter 382: Profound Heaven Blessed Land! (Fifth Update!)

The Dragon Palace, Lu Yang silently exited the treasure vault.

Seeing Suo Huan kindly closed the door for him, then Lu Yang saw him silently pry off the dragon-headed latch and tuck it into his pocket.

His movements were fluid, natural, effortless.

Seeing this, Lu Yang immediately frowned—how sloppy! Who taught him this? If others found out, they'd think we came here to strip the land bare!

Thinking of this, Lu Yang decided to give Seeing Suo Huan a severe reprimand.

"Make a fake one and put it back!"

On the other side, Seeing Suo Huan sensed Lu Yang's disgusted gaze.

At first, he thought Lu Yang was displeased with his actions and was about to beg forgiveness—until he heard those words and suddenly understood:

"Ah, he thinks I'm not professional enough!"

He had been too narrow-minded!

"It's my fault."

Seeing Suo Huan quickly bowed, then pulled out a piece of fine iron, forged it into the shape of a dragon's head, striving to replicate its original appearance and expression perfectly, then infused it with a shimmering aura to make it look as if crafted from rare treasures, before reattaching it to the door.

"That's more like it."

Only then did Lu Yang nod, then gestured—and under Tianqiu's guidance, retraced their steps, silently leaving the Dragon Palace through the secret passage.

Even now, chaos still raged inside and outside the Dragon Palace.

Lu Yang came quietly, left quietly, not taking so much as a wisp of cloud.

"I've taken the Dragon Palace's treasure vault—so even if the palace falls, these bandits won't get a single thing. That's still a contribution to the Dragon Clan!"

Overseas, on a remote island.

"I'm entering seclusion immediately—everyone, guard me!"

As soon as he left the Dragon Palace, Lu Yang prepared for seclusion; there was no choice—this haul was too great, and if he didn't use it quickly, his heart wouldn't settle.

"But this still isn't the Dragon Palace's full collection."

"At the very least, the Dragon Lord's personal treasures aren't here!"

Undeniably, every item in the Dragon Palace vault was priceless, yet truly, few had any use for a Jin Dan True Person.

"Of course—things useful to a Jin Dan True Person wouldn't be left in a vault; they'd be carried personally, kept close for peace of mind. And these resources clearly point to one purpose: helping someone rapidly elevate their Fudi to perfection, preparing for Jin Dan."

Thus, these resources were of immense use to Lu Yang right now.

They could drastically shorten the gap between him and veteran Foundation Establishment completers!

After all, he hadn't even forged his Fudi yet—though 【Li Hen Tian】 was called a "small Fudi," it was fundamentally not the same as a true Fudi.

"I was worried about how to upgrade it into a true Fudi."

"Now I don't have to worry!"

Inside the temporary sealed chamber, Lu Yang calmed his mind, focused his thoughts—and shed his human form, revealing once more the true form of 【Li Hen Tian】.

"Begin!"

Without hesitation, Lu Yang poured the entire flask of 【Tian Yi Zhen Shui】 into 【Li Hen Tian】, a display of sheer extravagance.

You must know that a single drop of the Heavenly True Water is enough to nurture a Blessed Land, and it even requires thirty-six days of careful refinement to unleash its maximum effect, whereas pouring an entire pot in directly, as Lu Yang did, wastes fully ninety percent of its potential compared to careful refinement.

But for Lu Yang, the accounting didn't work that way.

"One drop requires thirty-six days of slow refinement? I'm most short on time right now—even one-tenth effectiveness is enough for me."

He relied on quantity!

As for wasting ancestral wealth without a pang of guilt—after all, it was all gifted to him by the True Dragon clan.

Use it first, worry later!

"Boom!"

At that moment, Lu Yang clearly saw the massive transformation of 【Li Hen Tian】, and simultaneously, his five cultivated abilities manifested one after another.

【Ling Long Xin】, 【Han Zhen Qi】, 【Hui Yuan Gong】, 【Cheng Tian Gang】, 【Yu Shi Tong】!

All five abilities now poured into 【Li Hen Tian】, then melted like snow, fusing into a single whole!

Yet just then—

"Whoosh!"

Instantly, Lu Yang felt a familiar gale surge from nothingness, howling like a thousand blades slicing across 【Li Hen Tian】.

"Bi Feng?!"

Lu Yang's pupils instantly contracted.

This was a tribulation exclusive to the Foundation Establishment realm—but now, as Lu Yang forged his Fudi, Bi Feng had blown out from the Foundation Establishment realm!

"Why?"

"No—wrong. What exactly is a Fudi?"

Lu Yang's mind swiftly recalled Master Chongguang's teachings:

"A 【Fudi】 is formed when a Foundation Establishment complete True Person uses their own life essence as foundation, supplements it with their innate abilities, and expands their Dao Base."

The essence of a Fudi is the Dao Base.

"Every step of the Dao Base's growth requires trials of the Three Calamities; to achieve perfection, one must endure the Five Heavenly Decays."

"The same applies to a Fudi. Ordinary Foundation Establishment completers likely need not this step—their Dao Bases have already endured these tribulations."

"But I am different."

"My current cultivation is entirely rooted in 【Li Hen Tian】, achieved directly by absorbing the celestial essences of the Seven Solar Bodies through Qi absorption."

"Thus, 【Li Hen Tian】 has never endured the Three Calamities or the Five Heavenly Decays."

"To forge a true Fudi, I must make up for this step!"

Realizing this, Lu Yang finally understood: "No wonder other realms, like 【Xuan Ling Jie】, have no such thing as a Fudi."

No wonder this is something unique to this broken place!

'Tribulation Crossing: if you cannot pass the Tribulation Crossing, it is naturally a calamity, but if you pass it, it becomes an opportunity!'

"Boom!"

The next second, before Lu Yang could react, a ball of Yin Fire silently ignited within the 【Li Hen Tian】, seemingly about to sweep across all directions.

". Come on!"

Lu Yang dared not hesitate; with a thought, he immediately drew out all the Five Elements Spirit Materials, piled into several great mountains, that he had obtained earlier from the Dragon Palace Treasury.

As countless Spirit Materials appeared, they were instantly burned and dissolved by the Yin Fire, then blown by the Bi Wind, which scoured away their impurities, leaving only the essence to fall into the 【Li Hen Tian】, gradually merging with this small Blessed Land; and as the Spirit Materials were poured in, the spiritual resonance of the 【Li Hen Tian】 gradually rose.

Until a clap of thunder rang out.

"Boom!"

Huge Lei Guang fell from the void, completely shattering the 【Li Hen Tian】 and the myriad Spirit Materials, which had previously been only superficially united, then fused them into one.

Bi Wind polishing, Yin Fire tempering, Heavenly Thunder pouring over the crown!

Three calamities appeared in succession; if Lu Yang were not already at the peak of Foundation Establishment, with the halos formed by his five Divine Arts firmly anchoring the 【Li Hen Tian】,

at this moment, the 【Li Hen Tian】 would have already collapsed.

However, soon after the three calamities, the Five Declines of Heaven and Man arrived!

The Dharma Body grew filth, the Dao Foundation gathered dust, the Divine Arts withered, magic power vanished, and heart demons sprang forth—in an instant, five different tribulations emerged together!

As the fivefold tribulations descended, the originally bright radiance of the 【Li Hen Tian】 instantly dimmed.

Lu Yang did not hesitate; he immediately threw out the fragments of the 【Tian Gai Di Xuan Dong Tian】, then without a second thought, tossed them into the 【Li Hen Tian】!

This Dong Tian fragment was originally used by the Dragon Lord to elevate the Dong Tian of newly promoted 【Tianhe Shui】 True Lords; now Lu Yang used it to stabilize a Blessed Land, an extreme case of using a great resource for a trivial purpose, but precisely because of this, the effect was absurdly good, stabilizing the turmoil of the 【Li Hen Tian】 almost instantly!

"Boom!"

Seeing this, the intensity of the Five Declines of Heaven and Man immediately rose another level, clearly showing no sign of stopping until it crushed Lu Yang.

Seeing this, Lu Yang hurriedly formed a hand seal: '【Yu Shi Tong】!'

"."

The next second, the calamities abruptly ceased.

Lu Yang could clearly feel that the Five Declines of Heaven and Man had been brewing for a long time, intending to deal him a devastating blow, yet now they could only freeze in place.

Lu Yang immediately smiled.

【Yu Shi Tong】 was not omnipotent; each time it transferred harm, it caused some wear on the Divine Art itself, and once the limit was exceeded, it had to stop.

Moreover, the binding between 【Yu Shi Tong】 and Heaven and Earth was not unbreakable.

At least Lu Yang believed that with the foundations of the Four Great Powers, if their cultivation was sufficient and they were highly proficient in the Dao of Cause and Effect, they could surely devise a method to break it.

This Divine Art was uniquely unsolvable against Heaven and Earth, especially in this broken place where Heaven and Earth were severely restricted; it clearly had no answer for Lu Yang!

"Come on, come and hit me."

For a moment, facing Lu Yang's provocation, the Five Declines of Heaven and Man swelled in spiritual resonance several times, yet each time halted their movements before the radiant light of the 【Yu Shi Tong】 Divine Art.

Finally, like a deflated balloon.

All calamities vanished without a trace.

Only Lu Yang remained seated in midair; the 【Li Hen Tian】 once again transformed into flesh and blood, yet from within this small Blessed Land, a brand-new radiance was born.

Like a butterfly breaking from its cocoon.

"This is my Blessed Land."

The next second, Lu Yang looked up at the sky; that brand-new radiance thus bestowed itself upon his brow, and within the light, myriad magnificent scenes unfolded.

A name naturally surfaced in Lu Yang's heart:

【Xuan Du Blessed Land.】

At this moment, the 【Xuan Du Blessed Land】 was like a lens; through it, Lu Yang's originally blurred vision suddenly cleared, revealing the true form of this realm of Heaven and Earth.

"Holy crap!"

Lu Yang's expression suddenly froze.

He saw that the Heaven and Earth, once whole and unified, now resembled a massive honeycomb; up, down, left, and right, it was filled with enormous holes!

The thirty largest holes were clearly thirty Fruit Positions!

And the remaining holes of varying sizes were Blessed Lands of those at the peak of Foundation Establishment and Dong Tians of Jin Dan True Lords; this realm of Heaven and Earth had long been riddled with holes!
