Heavenly Remnant Consciousness
It was still that magnificent, resplendent immortal palace secret realm. Amid violent distortions of light and shadow, Lu Yang staggered out of the void and into a great hall.
Bang!
The doors shut. That heavy sound gave Lu Yang an unprecedented sense of safety, especially after he heard that faint, heaven-shaking sword cry.
If you can kill your way in here, I'll admit defeat!
Lu Yang turned back viciously, yet the tightly sealed doors did not budge. They cut off every sound, finally easing his taut heart.
"Hah."
He had succeeded! Gangxing Budao True Lord's Gold Nature, an excellent Fate-Form Body certain to attain Sand Gold, and Great Post Earth—his harvest was still immense!
For this righteous-demonic Dao Struggle, he had actually prepared three plans: the best, the middling, and the worst.
The best plan was naturally to gather Fire in the Sky, Great Post Earth, and Sword Edge Metal to complete Three Lines, advance to Great True Lord, and henceforth ride the winds and clouds wherever he pleased.
The middling plan was to devour Sword Edge Metal and Great Post Earth. That would not have been a loss either.
The worst plan was this one: relying on the advantage of challenging above his realm to devour Sand Gold and Great Post Earth. At any rate, it was not as though he had come away empty-handed.
Yet Lu Yang knew very well that this was not because his schemes had been so brilliant. The Dao Lords had never been a monolithic block to begin with. Rather than saying he had successfully plotted against the Sword Pavilion Dao Lord, it was more accurate to say that the other Three Dao Lords had gone with the flow and viciously stabbed the Sword Pavilion Dao Lord in the back.
