Long ago, Lu Yang had heard this saying:
There were nine grades of cultivation methods in the world, from high to low. Below Sixth Grade, one had no hope of Foundation Establishment; below Third Grade, no hope of Golden Core. Only a First Grade cultivation method offered hope of a Nascent Soul.
Later, at the Sword Pavilion, he saw the first First Grade cultivation method of his life.
"Sword Lord's Secret Chapter of Mystic Gold."
Yet it was later proven that this First Grade cultivation method was meant to sacrifice its practitioner, using them to attain Empty Attainment in the Sword Dao. At its core, it was simply a cultivation method designed to swindle people.
Which raised a question:
Back then, I thought this was merely the Sword Pavilion's Sword Seed style—specializing in deceiving people. But now, it seems there may be a deeper reason behind it.
A First Grade cultivation technique may have originally been intended for Empty Attainment. Empty Attainment is one of the foundations of the Nascent Soul, while the other is a Supreme Fruit Position. If nothing else, that Immortal Venerable Greater Yin of the Celestial Court is like this: one Greater Yin Fruit Position, and one money Fruit Position attained through Empty Attainment.
At this thought, Lu Yang's brows rose slightly.
Sky Soaring.
If Immortal Venerable Greater Yin of the Celestial Court had most likely attained a Fruit Position through Empty Attainment, what about Sky Soaring? Could the Immortal Pivot's number one True Lord possibly fail to do so?
...Not likely.
Lu Yang had great confidence in Sky Soaring. If mere Extraterrestrial Cultivators could accomplish it, Sky Soaring could not possibly fail. He should be able to as well!
