Xuanling Realm, Heavenly Court.
Upon returning from the Human World, Lu Yang immediately placed the Xuanling Realm on alert without another word, resolutely barring anyone wreathed in smoke from approaching.
Only after doing all this did he sigh.
"Sky Soaring was careless!"
Just like in his previous life, he had always been the one scheming against others. Having enjoyed peace in the Netherworld for so long, his instincts and sharpness as a Sacred Sect True Lord had dulled considerably.
But that was only a matter of time. As Sky Soaring's contact with the Real World grew more active, his recovery would only accelerate. Before long, he would return to his former standard. Besides, this life was different from the last—he was currently at his peak.
"After what I did, he's probably getting anxious."
Lu Yang stroked his chin. At present, Sky Soaring had only yet to reclaim Covered Lamp Fire and Long Flowing Water. He would likely put that on the agenda soon.
Speaking of Long Flowing Water—
One had to mention the Primordial True Person, Mu Changsheng. He was still asleep at the moment, and Non-Existent Heaven had yet to emerge. That, too, was a great killing weapon.
Though it is limited to the Immortal Pivot and specifically meant for dealing with Golden Core True Lords, it is still quite good. Moreover, Heavenly Duke's hand is clearly behind it. Come to think of it, Mu Changsheng likely has quite a few secrets himself. There may have been another hidden reason why the Sacred Sect Ancestor targeted him back then.
One had to know that Mu Changsheng was merely Foundation Establishment.
A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator had actually warranted the Sacred Sect Ancestor personally fishing out his soul, then sending it into the Law Refining Secret Realm to be imprisoned.
