Chapter 218: The Essence of the Heavenly Dao!
“Where do you think you’re going!”
The moment Lu Qingyang saw that golden radiance, his eyes lit up and he gave chase.
“Whoosh!”
In an instant, the golden light fled the Great Evil Dynasty’s territory and shot toward the vast sea of stars.
“Hmph!”
“You want to leave!”
“Too late!”
Lu Qingyang snorted coldly. Immortal power surged from his entire body, transforming into a heaven-covering giant hand.
“Boom!”
The next instant, that giant hand viciously seized the golden light.
“Crack crack crack!”
The golden light struggled madly, yet it still could not break free from the giant hand’s bindings.
Countless sorrowful emotions surfaced within the Heavenly Dao’s radiance.
But although Lu Qingyang had succeeded, he had no time to bother with this Heavenly Dao.
Because… the other party’s backer had already arrived!
The moment this Heavenly Dao’s true body was broken, an even more ferocious will abruptly surged forth from the starry sky.
“They say the Heavenly Dao cannot be provoked. I rather want to see which Great Thousand World your backer is from.”
Lu Qingyang gripped the ceaselessly struggling golden light, his gaze calm.
According to the characteristics of Simulation Return to True, this time he would definitely be able to bring this Heavenly Dao back.
So there was naturally no need to worry or feel anxious.
What remained now was just to broaden his horizons.
“Boom!”
The starry sky trembled.
Soon.
A youth with an imposing bearing, hands clasped behind his back, came striding over.
The youth’s aura was ethereal, like a celestial river spanning the heavens.
His aura was extremely terrifying.
It was as though the entire starry river retreated before him, unable to withstand his existence.
He simply stood there, as if representing all the heavens and the myriad realms!
“You are quite bold. Which Immortal Realm did you descend from?”
“You dare capture my Heavenly Dao? Tell me your sect and elders!”
“Otherwise, today I will scatter your soul to the winds!”
Thunderous shouts spread throughout the starry sky.
He simply stood there, like a supreme Immortal Emperor of the heavens, overlooking all living beings.
Lu Qingyang looked at the newcomer and felt puzzled.
Didn’t they say a Middle Thousand World’s Heavenly Dao backer is the Great Thousand World’s Heavenly Dao?
Why has an Immortal come instead?
I don’t know what realm this person is at, but at minimum he should be at the Heavenly Immortal level.
As Lu Qingyang pondered, his playful mood suddenly rose.
He glanced sidelong at the imposing youth and pretended to speak flippantly.
“My master is the Ancestor Qingfeng, subordinate to a Quasi-Saint!”
“Those who come and go are either Immortal Sovereigns or Great Emperors. Who are you?”
“You dare speak to me like this!”
“You should know my master’s ancestor is a Quasi-Saint, on friendly terms with the Three Pure Ones and Four Emperors, with the Nine Luminaries as juniors. Are you not afraid of having your soul scattered to the winds?!”
Lu Qingyang’s tone was arrogant, his posture completely unafraid.
But the moment he said this, the youth fell silent.
Hm? Could I have actually frightened him?
Seeing the youth’s silence, Lu Qingyang thought to himself.
He prepared to bluff a couple more lines.
But before he could speak again, he saw the youth slowly raise his head.
His gaze looked faintly toward Lu Qingyang.
“How is it that I didn’t know… I have a disciple like you?”
“Also, is the title Quasi-Saint something you deserve to use?”
“Insolence!”
The word fell.
In that instant, the heavens trembled.
The entire star region began to shake.
Rolling pressure crushed Lu Qingyang into oblivion within the starry sky in an instant.
I ran into the original…
That was Lu Qingyang’s last thought before he heard the System’s Return to True notification.
【Ding! Return to True ended: You died】
【Return to True settlement in progress, please wait…】
【Settlement complete】
【Items obtainable this time: Flower of Merit*1, Human Immortal Remnant Shell (Armor)*1, Human Immortal Remnant Shell (Seal)*1, Human Immortal Remnant Shell (Cauldron)*1, Heavenly Dao Essence*1】
“Phew… Ancestor Qingfeng, a Great Luo Golden Immortal…”
“Truly… awesome!”
Recalling this Return to True journey.
Lu Qingyang felt it was utterly fantastical.
This System was simply heaven-defying!
It could actually take him wandering through simulated Myriad Realms.
Whatever. If there’s a chance later, I’ll go find those two guards and settle the score.
For now, I should think about how to handle this Heavenly Dao Essence.
Lu Qingyang looked at the brought-back item rewards.
He rubbed his brow.
Even advancing to Great Vehicle would not give him such a headache.
I’m only at Dao Integration right now. There’s no way I can refine this Heavenly Dao Essence.
Fortunately, in Return to True I suppressed it into an essence state, so it’s hard for it to transform into a true body and harm anyone.
But even so, if I release it, I’m afraid it will escape in the blink of an eye.
Lu Qingyang felt somewhat troubled.
Hm, wait… perhaps I can try activating the Heaven-Flipping Seal to suppress it, then store it in my Storage Ring first.
Thinking of the Heaven-Flipping Seal, a flash of inspiration struck Lu Qingyang.
If he used the Heaven-Flipping Seal to suppress this Heavenly Dao Essence, he could first store it in his Storage Ring.
Once his cultivation rose later, he could deal with it slowly.
Good.
That’s what I’ll do!
Lu Qingyang made up his mind.
“Buzz!”
The next second, a small pitch-black seal appeared out of thin air in Lu Qingyang’s hand.
This Heaven-Flipping Seal could actually be activated to the size of half a world in Return to True.
Truly terrifying.
But with my current cultivation, I probably can’t activate it to that size.
Looking at the small seal in his palm, heavy as a thousand catties, as if it could shatter mountains, Lu Qingyang sighed with emotion.
Then, he sat cross-legged and began to activate the Heaven-Flipping Seal.
“Buzz!”
The small seal trembled slightly.
Instantly, it bloomed with dazzling dark-blue radiance.
“Swoosh!”
In that instant, everything within the cabin was shrouded by this dark-blue radiance.
“Crack!”
“Crack!”
“Crack!”
Crisp sounds rang out one after another. The formation Lu Qingyang used to isolate his aura was actually cracking inch by inch!
Clearly, it could no longer withstand the Heaven-Flipping Seal’s aura.
“Phew…”
Then Lu Qingyang exhaled a turbid breath, a grave expression appearing on his face.
After making full preparations, he finally spoke slowly.
“Bring… bring back, the Heavenly Dao Essence!”
【Ding! Congratulations, Host, on a successful retrieval】
【Item Name: Middle Thousand World – Heavenly Dao Essence】
【Item Origin: Obtained by capturing a Middle Thousand World’s Heavenly Dao in Return to True】
【Item Analysis: The Heavenly Dao Essence is the core of the Heavenly Dao. It contains great wisdom and great fortune, a product of heaven and earth. If an ordinary cultivator deliberately captures it, they will suffer heavenly punishment】
【Item Tip: This item has many marvelous uses, but it must not easily appear before another Heavenly Dao】
“Boom!”
As the System notification slowly ended.
A mass of golden radiance abruptly appeared within the cabin.
And in the very instant it appeared.
Above the sky, thunder roared!
It seemed some unknown will had been disturbed by this sudden anomaly.
And that mass of golden radiance seemed still immersed in a certain fear.
Especially after seeing the Heaven-Flipping Seal, it trembled without end.
“Come!”
Seeing that the appearance of this Heavenly Dao Essence had already drawn the Heavenly Dao’s notice.
Lu Qingyang did not dare delay. He immediately began attempting to suppress it.
But who would have thought, just as he activated the Heaven-Flipping Seal to collect the Heavenly Dao Essence.
Jiangxin’s figure suddenly appeared again!
