Chapter 138: Palace of the Boundless!
"BOOM!"
At the peak's Spirit Lake, a vast aura suddenly exploded outward with Chaotian Peak as its center!
This terrifying pressure caused every disciple within several kilometers to stop cultivating and raise their heads, gazing toward Chaotian Peak!
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that the Sect Master has broken through again?"
"What a pity. If I could personally witness the Sect Master's breakthrough, that would be a blessing!"
"Exactly!"
"......"
The vast aura stirred endless discussion among the Chaotian Sect disciples at the foot of the mountain.
"Boom!"
From atop Chaotian Peak, a huge tremor echoed out.
Lu Qingyang sat there with a solemn expression, his whole body trembling slightly, as if he might shatter at any moment.
But just then, he felt his whole body go light.
"Click!"
Then came a crisp sound, and an even more majestic aura spread out from him, causing that terrifying pressure to vanish in an instant!
He opened his eyes, feeling his body filled with vast power, as if a single punch could destroy the heavens!
"Phew...... both body and law at Void Return!"
"I never imagined this drop of Pseudo-Blood would push my physical cultivation and spiritual power all the way to the Void Return Stage!"
Lu Qingyang sensed the surging, torrent-like power within him, inwardly astonished.
What astonished him was not just his own transformation, but the terrifying might of that drop of blood!
The original owner of this blood was definitely no ordinary Pseudo-Immortal!
This time, I absolutely cannot afford to clash with that person!
Lu Qingyang's thoughts raced.
He had already settled on his course.
Thinking of this, he first glanced at the Attribute Panel.
【Name: Lu Qingyang】
【Constitution: Rank 17+】
【Comprehension: Rank 10+】
【Fortune: Rank 17+】
【Family Background: Rank 10+】
【Remaining Simulation Points: 170】
My Simulation Points should be just enough to upgrade one attribute rank.
Looking at the full one hundred and seventy Simulation Points, Lu Qingyang naturally did not hesitate.
He immediately focused his attention on the black plus sign after the Fortune entry.
【Ding! Simulation attribute upgrade successful】
【Fortune: Rank 18】
Rank eighteen fortune. This time, Return to True should have fewer thrills and more benefits, right!
Lu Qingyang muttered to himself.
Looking at the already-cooled Return to True countdown, he no longer hesitated.
"Return to True!"
As he spoke softly, the scene before his eyes changed in an instant.
First came pitch darkness, then as light and his surroundings reappeared, an incomparably dense spiritual qi surrounded his body!
This place...... is this the Spirit Realm?
Sensing the spiritual qi far surpassing that of the Prison Dragon Realm, Lu Qingyang murmured to himself.
But before he could examine his surroundings, a warm male voice drifted over.
"Wife, quick, look! Our child is actually sensing spiritual power the moment he's born!"
A man in a Daoist robe was sitting beside Lu Qingyang.
Beside him lay a woman with a delicate face and a gentle demeanor.
This woman was Lu Qingyang's mother.
"Let me see what our child looks like."
The woman said with a smile.
"Mm."
The man nodded, then stood up and reached over to pick up Lu Qingyang.
But who could have known that before he could even step forward, a heaven-soaring aura burst forth from Lu Qingyang's body.
"This...... this......"
The man's eyes went wide, his mouth hanging open.
"This...... this is bloodline, Spirit Bone aura!"
The woman beside him was equally dazed.
An innate bloodline, and bearing a Spirit Bone as well. Even in the Spirit Realm, such aptitude was rarely seen!
And just as the two were stunned—
Outside the house, upon the heavens' canopy, a voice of surprise suddenly drifted over.
"This aura...... it's actually the aura of the Spirit Clan bloodline!"
As the words fell, a handsome man dressed in red robes walked in.
In his hand he held a token — the token of the Spirit Realm's renowned Great Vehicle sect, the Palace of the Boundless!
"Senior, how could you trespass into my residence!"
Seeing this, Lu Qingyang's parents hurriedly bowed and paid their respects, their faces full of trepidation and unease.
"You two need not worry. This one means no harm."
"This one is a Deacon of the Palace of the Boundless. By the sect's command, I roam far and wide to recruit disciples."
"Today I observed this child's astonishing talent. In the future he will surely have the makings of an Immortal and a founding ancestor. In my excitement, I acted abruptly."
"I ask that you two forgive me!"
With that, he cupped his hands toward Lu Qingyang's parents.
"So it is Senior Deacon of the Palace of the Boundless!"
"Might I ask what business Senior Deacon has with my son?"
Looking at this Dao Integration cultivator before them, Lu Qingyang's parents also hurriedly bowed, speaking respectfully.
"Heh heh, you two are truly fortunate. Let this child come with me. You may also visit the mountain whenever you wish."
"When this child's cultivation bears fruit in the future, that will be the time for you two to enjoy your blessings!"
"What? This......"
Hearing this, Lu Qingyang's parents were both surprised and delighted.
Though reluctant in their hearts, to be noticed by the Palace of the Boundless —
For rogue cultivators like them with no one to rely on in the Spirit Realm, it was simply a pie falling from the sky!
So even with all their reluctance, they could only express their thanks.
"Thank you, Senior!"
"Senior, please rest assured. If my son achieves the Great Dao in the future, we will never forget Senior's kindness!"
Lu Qingyang's parents hurriedly bowed.
"Mm, that's more like it!"
"Take this spirit token well. With it, you two will receive a stipend every year!"
With that, the red-robed Deacon flipped his hand and produced a crystal-clear jade pendant, like crystal, and handed it to them.
Then with a wave of his sleeve, he wrapped Lu Qingyang in his embrace and drifted away.
Watching his departing figure, Lu Qingyang's parents both felt a stir in their hearts.....
Noticed by a Spirit Realm sect at one year old. This must be the Palace of the Boundless they spoke of?
Actually, the Palace of the Boundless treated me well enough. It's just that their later actions were somewhat brainless.
Having a genius of their own and not hiding him, instead parading him around everywhere — isn't that just asking for death!
This time, I absolutely cannot let them do as they please.
Having made up his mind, Lu Qingyang began silently recalling the major turning points in the Simulation.
The first fifty years of the Simulation were basically uneventful. At fifty-five I touched Soul Transformation and got the idea of looking down on the world. That could be considered the start of my death-seeking.
Later, at fifty-six, the first crisis appeared. Fortunately, I turned danger into safety. The key point is fifty-eight — those idiots at the Palace of the Boundless actually wanted to make me into a golden signboard?!
Idiots to the extreme!
Lu Qingyang shook his head, cursing inwardly.
He decided that this time, no matter what, he could not let the Palace of the Boundless push him out.
Then he carefully recalled the last few battles in the Simulation, as well as the final boss's information.
The Sect of All Under Heaven. This sect seems to be a subordinate sect of an Upper Realm sect in the Spirit Realm. In the eyes of those ancient sects, never mind Great Vehicle — even a true Immortal could probably be crushed to death!
So...... in this Simulation, I have absolutely no way to match them, unless I possess the strength to trample Immortals.
Otherwise, it'll definitely be 'beat the young one, the old one comes,' and in the end they'll surely pull out that routine of respectfully summoning the founding ancestor to descend!
Sigh...... There was nothing to be done about it. Who told them to have someone backing them above?
