Chapter 924: Chapter 919: Lü Yang’s Terrifying Talent Skill

Profound Spirit Realm, Celestial Court.

Lü Yang sat upright on a meditation cushion, holding a streak of iridescent light in his hand. Mist swirled around it, and only upon closer inspection could one discern a disc-shaped object within: the [Time Shifting Device].

An Artifact refined by the Bhagavat using the [Fruit of Rampart Earth], it allowed anyone to tap into the fundamental profundity of the Emperor Fruit simply by infusing it with Mana.

At this moment, it rested in the palm of Lü Yang’s hand. It seemed completely defenseless against him, even actively opening its defenses as if hoping he would infuse it with Mana. However, the more proactive it was, the more wary Lü Yang became. He felt that what he held was not some Supreme Treasure at all, but rather a hot potato.

In all fairness, when he first snatched this item, he had intended to let Progenitor Tingyou study it and see if he could replicate the Bhagavat’s methods. But now, he didn’t dare let Progenitor Tingyou examine it.

"This thing is a bit evil," he muttered.

Just by holding it, Lü Yang could feel his Dao Heart being eroded by something. Had he not achieved Dao Heart Perfection, he probably would have fallen victim to it already.

"If I snatch this Artifact, will the Centome restart?" Lü Yang’s heart pounded with excitement. After all, this was an Artifact made of the [Fruit of Rampart Earth]. If he could take it away, it wouldn’t be unacceptable even if his current life came to an abrupt end.

However, he quickly regained his composure.

"No, that’s unrealistic. I can only choose to take things that belong to me when it restarts. The ownership of this [Time Shifting Device] is clearly exclusive to the Bhagavat."

Therefore, Lü Yang swiftly cast aside all his greed and shifted his focus to another question. "Should I be bold enough to negotiate with the Bhagavat? It’s impossible for the Bhagavat not to pay attention to such a Supreme Treasure. If I reveal some secrets to him, there’s a high probability it will draw his gaze."

Like the matter concerning [Ang Xiao].

Judging from the experiences of his Previous Life, the Bhagavat was quite supportive of [Ang Xiao]. Their cooperation even seemed somewhat inconsistent with the Stain Sect’s usual style.

However, after mulling it over, Lü Yang rejected the idea. "It’s too dangerous. The Bhagavat isn’t the only one keeping an eye on the Current World. Not to mention, it also involves that old geezer from the Stain Sect. It would be a disaster if, after I reveal the secret, the Bhagavat doesn’t show up, but the old geezer’s giant foot stomps down on me first..."

Thinking of this, Lü Yang sighed again.

"I can only send it away."

This Artifact was too precious. A nobody like him, without a Master of Dao backing him, couldn’t possibly hold onto such a heavy treasure. It was better to leave this headache to someone with a Master of Dao in their background. Thus, he slowly reached into his robe and pulled out a ring that exuded a mechanical aesthetic—this was the Teleportation Star Gate that Hao Yuan Shangzhen had given him before he left the Star Palace.

Previously, when he extracted ten thousand years of lifespan, he had used it to send the lifespan to the Star Palace.

"I hope the Star Palace will like this." Lü Yang opened the Star Gate, gave a detailed description of the intel regarding the [Time Shifting Device], and then widened the gate to throw it right in without a second word.

Faintly, he seemed to hear exclamations coming from the other side of the Star Gate.

"Holy shit! What is that?"

"Not good! It’s highly concentrated pollution from the Bhagavat!"

"Quick, set up a perimeter..."

He must have heard wrong.

Immortal Lord Lü had a kind heart and simply couldn’t bear to listen to such words. Without any hesitation, he directly closed the Star Gate, instantly feeling a wave of relief wash over him. Immediately after, he stood up.

"Calculating the time, it should be about right." He didn’t deduce the karmic links, as doing so wouldn’t yield any answers anyway. However, for many things, Lü Yang already had conclusions in his heart.

For instance, the whereabouts of the Primordial Celestial Demon.

"Would he hide in the Immortal Pivot?" Lü Yang pondered for a moment and shook his head. "Impossible. In the current Immortal Pivot, he has already crushed the pushover that was the Dao Court. As for the Sword Pavilion and the Stain Sect, neither is an entity he can afford to provoke right now. Not to mention the Old Dragon Monarch; he wouldn’t even be able to catch a glimpse of the dragon’s shadow. In other words, he is completely boxed in within the Immortal Pivot right now and can’t stir up any trouble. Under these circumstances, his choice is very easy to predict."

Leaving the Celestial Court, Lü Yang stepped into the Void Sea of Light.

"Based on my experience, when one can no longer survive in the Immortal Pivot, the best method is to step off the board, retreat Beyond the Heavens, and search for new opportunities. So where would the Primordial Celestial Demon go? Barring any accidents, it should be the Celestial Mansion."

Thinking of this, countless schemes and plots flashed across Lü Yang’s eyes, which were completely devoid of Wisdom Light. In this domain of plotting, he could be considered a peerless genius.

"The Celestial Mansion is a place where both the old geezer of the Stain Sect and the Bhagavat have placed their pawns. Externally, there is Taiyin Immortal Venerable, a Great Perfected Lord, holding the fort. Internally, there is the Tathagata Body enlightened by the Bhagavat, working to grant Enlightenment to Sichou’s Residual Thought. All of this is aimed at completely eradicating the Dao of Arcane Body... However, the current Celestial Mansion has always lacked a crucial variable."

Just like during his lifetime with the [Fruit of Celestial Fire]. In that lifetime, he himself was that crucial variable. The old geezer of the Stain Sect had used someone else’s hands to drive him into the Celestial Mansion, which in turn triggered a drastic upheaval.

"This variable must exist. Because there needs to be someone to gather the Celestial Mansion’s Six Qi Fruit Position Imagery and ultimately allow the Dao of Arcane Body to reappear in the Current World, so that Taiyin Immortal Venerable can swallow it. In that lifetime, it was me. But what about this lifetime?"

Lü Yang strolled leisurely through the Sea of Light, as if he were just taking a relaxing walk. Yet, during this process, all of his Cause and Effect Qi Mechanisms were concealed to the point of near-nothingness.

"It can’t possibly be me anymore. It’s not that I lack the capability. In fact, in the eyes of the Stain Sect’s old geezer, I am probably still the most suitable poor sap to be sent to the Celestial Mansion."

However, compared to his lifetime with the [Fruit of Celestial Fire], there was one massive difference in this lifetime.

"I’m too strong in this lifetime. So strong that even if all the Perfected Lords of the Immortal Pivot joined forces to besiege me, I could calmly escape to the [Celestial Human Residual Consciousness] without fearing any opponent."

Under current conditions, unless a Master of Dao personally took action, there was absolutely no method that could drive him to the Celestial Mansion. Even a Great Perfected Lord couldn’t stop him!

However... the Primordial Celestial Demon was different.

"The current Primordial Celestial Demon is in the exact same predicament as I was during my [Fruit of Celestial Fire] lifetime. His Cultivation is very strong, but not strong enough, which means he can be controlled. As a Heart Demon, he is very hard to kill, which means he can be reused. What a wonderful talent!

"If I were the Stain Sect’s old geezer, I would definitely send him to the Celestial Mansion too... Furthermore, the Celestial Mansion isn’t entirely without benefits for him. The environment there is far too prone to breeding Heart Demons, guaranteeing that he can feast to his heart’s content. It’s a win-win situation, so the Bhagavat wouldn’t refuse either. He might even proactively facilitate it.

"So here comes the question. Under the dual arrangement of the Stain Sect’s old geezer and the Bhagavat, would the Primordial Celestial Demon just head to the Void Sea of Light and lock directly onto the Celestial Mansion to go there?"

Thinking of this, Lü Yang shook his head. "If it were before, it might have been possible. But now, having been severely injured by my Thunder Talisman, he must first figure out a way to recover. Yet, as luck would have it, there are currently no Perfected Lords in the Immortal Pivot for him to devour. So, he can only seek sustenance Beyond the Heavens.

"The Outer Dao Great World. Although with the Pure Land’s foundation, there should be quite a few Outer Dao Realm Heavens he could choose from, but based on my personal experience in the [Fruit of Celestial Fire] lifetime..."

In the Void Sea of Light, Lü Yang halted his steps and paused before a Great Realm Heaven.

"It should be the Ten Thousand Martial Realm."

Lü Yang didn’t have to wait long. Just a few days later, the void tore open, and a dark shadow came speeding over.

The next second, the corners of his mouth lifted into a faint smile. And right in front of him stood the Primordial Celestial Demon, wearing an expression as if he had just seen a ghost.
