"A peerless genius, but what use is that to me?"
After reviewing the memories concerning the Grand Completion Grade One True Qi, Lü Yang gave his own evaluation, feeling quite dejected for a moment, thinking it had all been nothing but empty joy.
There was no doubt that the Innate True Person was indeed an extremely rare genius in the world.
He had even conducted verification during his lifetime, confirming that the method he developed must be the pinnacle of True Qi, impossible for anyone to surpass.
"Isn’t this nonsense? You used Metal Essence to refine Qi."
What was Metal Essence?
It was a rare treasure that only a great True Person who had achieved Perfect Foundation Establishment could refine a trace of from their soul, which would then condense over time.
Even True Lords found it highly useful!
And you used that to refine Qi?
"No wonder True Lord Feixue had no interest in this so-called Innate Dao Abomination, nor cared about the Grade One True Qi. He must have already soul-searched and learned all the details."At this thought, Lü Yang sighed again.
Because honestly, if the only difficulty lay in the Metal Essence, he actually had a way, or rather, the Innate True Person had already left a way.
"According to the arrangement of the Innate True Person, all I need to do is bring the Myriad Spirits Banner, which carries his karmic remnant, to the Biyang Cultivation World, and then use the banner to summon the Dao Abomination. The Dao Abomination would have no choice but to become the spirit of my banner, and by then, I could use its Metal Essence to cultivate the Grand Completion Grade One True Qi."
The key to this was the Myriad Spirits Banner.
But not the one in Lü Yang’s hand that had already been cleansed by the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes, but the one still held by Liu Xin, which retained the Innate True Person’s karma.
However, these were not real problems.
With the 【Book of a Hundred Lifetimes】 in hand, Lü Yang could easily regress again to retrieve the original Myriad Spirits Banner, or even repeatedly regress to extract the Metal Essence from the Dao Abomination!
Using Metal Essence to refine Qi, establish foundation, and even refine divine abilities… he could do all of it!
It was merely a matter of regressing a few more times.
"The problem lies with… the Empty Attainment!"
Lü Yang’s gaze turned solemn.
In the Innate True Person’s account, this "Empty Attainment" was completely vague, as if shrouded in mist, and it was obvious the Innate True Person himself hadn’t figured it out.
How to attain the Empty Attainment?
What was the method?
There was nothing!
This single issue alone basically severed the path of the so-called Grand Completion Grade One True Qi.
Without achieving a Fruit Position, without attaining Gold Core, what use was a strong foundation?
"How vexing."
Lü Yang pondered for a long time and finally made a decision: "At this point, it seems I have no choice but to rely on my peerless wisdom to perfect the Innate True Person’s cultivation method!"
With that, he took out the Myriad Spirits Banner.
"Master Ting You!"
At Lü Yang’s call, Master Ting You leisurely emerged.
Since the fall of the 【True Lord of Bearing Heaven's True Virtue】 from the Sword Pavilion, he had been in a particularly good mood.
"What is it?"
Without wasting words, Lü Yang immediately sent over the contents of the Grand Completion Grade One True Qi: "Disciple has newly acquired a cultivation method that is said to be beyond anyone’s comprehension."
"To me, it seems like reading the Heavens' Book, so I wish to request Master’s guidance."
"Heh, a clumsy provocation."
Master Ting You smiled slightly upon hearing this: "How could there be a cultivation method that no one can comprehend in this world? It’s just your lack of insight!"
Taking the divine sense Lü Yang handed over, Master Ting You focused his attention.
"Hmm?"
At first, Master Ting You’s expression remained relaxed, but as he delved deeper, his brows gradually furrowed, and finally, he slowly closed his eyes.
"How is it, Master?" Lü Yang asked curiously.
"First of all, it’s not that I can’t understand it."
Master Ting You replied calmly: "It’s mainly because the author of this method was far too audacious, and their thinking is so peculiar that it goes beyond the scope of normal people."
"I need to study it further."
After speaking, Master Ting You turned and instantly vanished into the Myriad Spirits Banner, clearly entering seclusion.
Lü Yang had great confidence in his exceptional talent.
Perhaps he might really find a way to solve the problem of the "Empty Attainment".
With this thought, Lü Yang felt reassured.
Next, he took out another jade slip.
Since it was rare for him to visit the Xianfa Pavilion, such an important place of the Primordial Saint Sect, of course, he wouldn’t just come out with a single cultivation method.
That said, because his 【Ten Thousand Chariots Dragon Riding Dao Foundation】 was extremely rare, and the corresponding 【Cheng Tou Earth】 was not under the sect’s control, the Xianfa Pavilion didn’t have any methods that perfectly matched him.
After much selection, he finally chose a barely suitable method.
"【Mountain Command Moving Mountain True Method】."
This was a Wu Earth method, reputed to be capable of moving mountains and shifting peaks, somewhat related to 【Guardian of the Mountain】, and was quite handy to use.
More importantly, this divine ability suited Lü Yang’s preferences very well.
As the name implied, this divine ability could move mountains and rivers, shifting distant peaks across a thousand miles, using the landscape to suppress his enemies.
It didn’t sound like much.
After all, a single mountain was nothing to a Foundation Establishment True Person, who could easily dismiss it with a wave of the sleeve or at least escape from it.
However, the 【Mountain Command Moving Mountain True Method】 was different.
This method shared similarities with 【Guardian of the Mountain】, emphasizing both the "Mountain on the Body" and the "Mountain in the Heart", usually advancing in unison during casting.
The casting involved three steps: 【Chanting the Incantation】, 【Forming the Seal】, and 【Pointing the Profound】.
Though seemingly cumbersome, there was hidden profundity.
If an enemy heard his chanting, they would immediately bear the weight of mountains and rivers, their dharma body becoming immobile.
If they saw his sealing gestures, they would immediately feel the burden of great mountains, their thoughts unable to turn.
And if they were finally struck by his finger point—
Goodness, their dharma body would collapse, turning into soil, and they themselves would become a great mountain, crashing to the ground, instantly forming a mysterious connection with the earth's meridians below.
In this way, would they still hope to escape?
Not impossible.
Breaking the connection with the earth's meridians would allow escape, but the price would be causing damage to the meridians and possibly suffering some heavenly punishment.
Thus, the evaluation of this method in the Xianfa Pavilion was "sinister and disgusting".
To have earned such a reputation among the sect’s True Persons showed how devious it was.
"Such a method should naturally be mine to wield!"
With the great battle approaching, Lü Yang dared not slack off in the slightest.
After leaving the Xianfa Pavilion, he immediately went to Mending Heaven Peak and devoted himself entirely to cultivation.
Three days later.
Lü Yang was sitting cross-legged on a gauze bed in Lady Ruo Xiang’s boudoir, discussing the 【Mountain Command Moving Mountain True Method】 with her, when he suddenly looked toward the sky.
A streak of spiritual light flew over—it was a flying message.
The message contained only a few words:
【Tonight at midnight, I shall pass away and be reborn. I hope that on the day you succeed and attain Gold Position, you will retrieve the "Cheng Tou Earth" and pave the way forward.】
In an instant, Lü Yang’s expression turned solemn.
The big event was about to begin!
Lü Yang looked up at the sky, activating the Destiny-Inspecting Instrument between his brows.
However, the normally clear and distinct web of karma under the light of Bing Fire was now completely obscured.
A True Lord was concealing the karma!
Almost simultaneously, inside and outside the Primordial Saint Sect, in the Jiangdong Dao Court, Jiangxi Pure Land, and Jiangnan Sword Pavilion, all reacted, with mysterious divine senses resonating with heaven and earth.
"Chong Guang is seeking Gold?"
"Hong Yun is dead, so it’s about time he sought it."
"Can he succeed?"
"He must not be allowed to succeed!"
"Ignore him."
Under the watchful gazes of many divine senses, midnight soon arrived.
In the great hall of Sacred Fire Cliff, True Person Chong Guang sat quietly, silently calculating something with his hands.
A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes.
"Heh."
With a light chuckle, True Person Chong Guang’s figure shattered like a bubble, silently dissipating on the spot.
His disappearance rippled through the void like a stone dropped into a calm lake, immediately sending waves across the stillness and alerting all those who had been watching.
True Person Chong Guang had already reincarnated.
His goal was to seek Gold!
