Chapter 219: One Calculation and You Know!
“Master!”
Jiangxin’s voice was somewhat urgent, and seemed to carry a trace of longing.
“What is it? Do not disturb me at this moment!”
Lu Qingyang did not understand why Jiangxin had suddenly appeared.
After all, without his summons, Jiangxin generally would not show itself on its own.
“Master, may I absorb this Heavenly Dao Essence?”
Jiangxin hesitated for a moment, then mustered its courage and spoke.
Its voice carried an obvious trace of longing.
“What?”
Hearing this, Lu Qingyang was slightly stunned.
He did not mind Jiangxin absorbing this Heavenly Dao Essence.
After all, if Jiangxin could absorb this Heavenly Dao Essence, its grade and calculation power would definitely skyrocket!
Even if he ascended to the Immortal Realm in the future, it would still be useful.
But the problem was that with Jiangxin’s grade, it simply was not enough to shake this Heavenly Dao Essence.
Much less absorb it.
Jiangxin seemed to have thought of this as well, but then quickly spoke again.
“Master! If you assist in suppressing it with this Immortal Artifact of yours, Jiangxin is confident it can absorb it completely within a hundred years!”
“A hundred years? No. That’s too long. Sooner or later, this world’s Heavenly Dao will discover it!”
Lu Qingyang quickly refused Jiangxin, then with a flip of his right hand, he pulled that Heavenly Dao Essence into his Storage Ring.
He collected the Heaven-Flipping Seal along with it, and only then did he firmly suppress that Heavenly Dao Essence.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Above the sky, a profound and indistinct will condensed over Lu Qingyang’s Dharma Ship.
It refused to leave, as if searching for something.
Outside the cabin.
Ma Liang looked at the Heavenly Dao Will that was almost manifesting its true form, and his jaw nearly dropped.
What was he seeing?
“Heavens! This is the Heavenly Dao Will!”
He looked at the will-body gradually manifesting in the sky, and was scared silly.
He even suspected he was dreaming!
Because this was truly too exaggerated.
Never had anyone in the Prison Dragon Realm seen the Heavenly Dao Will manifest.
Today, he had seen it.
And it appeared to be in the form of a dragon’s body.
“My good Sect Master, what are you doing now…”
Ma Liang muttered to himself, and his mind couldn’t help but conjure the image of Lu Qingyang in his blue robes.
Though he did not know why this Heavenly Dao Will had condensed here.
He had a premonition in his heart that it was certainly related to his own Sect Master Lu.
And half an hour later, the Heavenly Dao Will above the sky seemed unable to find what it was searching for.
Thus, the thunderclouds slowly dispersed…
“Creak~”
Lu Qingyang pushed open the cabin door and stepped out.
“The sky cleared?”
Looking at the clear sky overhead, Lu Qingyang rubbed his sore wrist.
“Sect… Sect Master… just now, that was…”
Ma Liang swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
His eyes were wide open.
He looked at his own Sect Master with a face full of disbelief.
The scene he had imagined, of the Heavenly Dao destroying everything, had not appeared.
Lu Qingyang merely stood on the deck, neatly dressed and calm.
“It’s nothing. Perhaps this world’s Heavenly Dao came out to stretch its limbs.”
“Pay it no mind.”
Lu Qingyang waved his hand, not explaining much.
“Elder Ma, the Xuanji Clan will probably arrive soon.”
“These days, please remain vigilant, Elder Ma.”
Lu Qingyang instructed Ma Liang.
“Yes… yes!”
Originally, at the thought of facing the entire Xuanji Clan with just himself and Lu Qingyang, Ma Liang had been full of unease and tension.
But then, thinking of the Heavenly Dao phenomenon just now and Lu Qingyang’s calm composure, Ma Liang instantly felt he had been overthinking.
Indeed. Someone who can stir up heavenly phenomena, who casually brings out Immortal Artifacts and Pseudo-Immortal Puppets, what do I have to worry about?
This Xuanji Clan is probably like a mouse planning to be the cat’s bridesmaid.
Ma Liang muttered, then respectfully cupped his fists.
Lu Qingyang, meanwhile, turned and returned to the cabin.
Inside the cabin, Lu Qingyang manipulated the Heaven-Flipping Seal to rapidly and carefully suppress that Heavenly Dao Essence within the Storage Ring.
Then he tore off a small wisp and held it in his palm.
“This bit of Heavenly Dao Essence is not enough to draw this world’s Heavenly Dao’s attention.”
“Jiangxin, you have a treat.”
Looking at Jiangxin hovering beside him.
Lu Qingyang’s gaze flickered, then he wrapped that wisp of Heavenly Dao Essence in spiritual power and sent it toward Jiangxin!
“Buzz buzz!”
Looking at the Heavenly Dao Essence so close at hand, Jiangxin trembled all over with excitement.
This was how it showed emotion.
“Thank you, Master!”
Jiangxin spoke, its voice carrying excitement and gratitude.
“Refine it. Once you’re done, tell me your improvement.”
Lu Qingyang waved his hand.
Hearing Lu Qingyang’s indifferent voice, Jiangxin said no more.
It directly manipulated its spiritual power to pull that wisp of Heavenly Dao Essence into its cube-like body.
“Buzz buzz…”
Soon, Jiangxin’s surface bloomed with brilliant golden light.
A moment later, the golden light quivered, as if that wisp of Heavenly Dao Essence was struggling.
But how could a mere wisp of Heavenly Dao Essence resist Jiangxin’s refinement?
After struggling for a moment, the golden light gradually faded.
Except, at this moment, Jiangxin also suddenly drifted slowly toward the ground.
Seeing this, Lu Qingyang knew Jiangxin was digesting that wisp of Heavenly Dao Essence.
He immediately reached out and caught it firmly in his palm.
“If I really get the chance in the future, I could catch a few more.”
“It seems this thing really is a good item.”
“Previously, upgrading Jiangxin used so many Demon Race treasures, yet Jiangxin never entered hibernation to refine them.”
“Now, just a wisp of Heavenly Dao Essence has actually put Jiangxin into deep sleep.”
Looking at Jiangxin in his palm, Lu Qingyang chuckled softly.
I just wonder if those great powers, and the Great Thousand Heavenly Dao, will find me.
But they probably won’t… after all, I have never heard any rumors of Journey to the West great powers in this world.
As for the Great Thousand Heavenly Dao, it surely doesn’t have the ability to cross the Myriad Realms.
Lu Qingyang muttered to himself.
Yet little did he know, in a distant world.
In an enormous Spirit Orchard, filled with immortal qi yet planted with only a single tree.
A spirited young man was leisurely drinking tea beneath the shade of the tree with an old man with dark beard and hair.
“Master, it’s strange. Recently, the Heavenly Dao of a Middle Thousand World under this disciple was actually captured by someone.”
“Though in the end the thief did not succeed, and I demanded it back, but…”
The young man trailed off, his brows slightly furrowed, hesitating to speak.
“But what? If you speak without speaking, better not to speak at all.”
The old man with dark beard and hair glanced at the young man, slowly savoring the fragrant tea in his cup, leisurely and at ease.
“Though the thief was captured, in the end he could accurately state Master’s origins. He did not mention Master’s name, but he did speak of Master’s friends on the left and right.”
“How could an ordinary Immortal have such insight? So I wanted to ask Master whether you recognize this person.”
Hearing the young man’s words, the old man with dark beard and hair finally raised his head, a trace of surprise appearing in his eyes.
“Oh? There is something like this?”
“Very well. Project that person’s face, and let your Master divine it.”
