Lu Yang had always excelled at acting the moment he thought of something.
But before he acted, there was still one problem to solve: his true body had to remain in the Dao Court, ready at any moment for Emperor Jiayou's summons.
After all, power was like real estate—location was always paramount.
The closer one was to the center of power, the greater one's power became. If you were not in that position today, then in the future you would never be in that position again. The result would only be a loss outweighing the gain.
"Looks like I have to refine another avatar."
Lu Yang took stock of his reserves. In his previous life, he had brought back most of his gains, but there had been a very few things he had not brought back.
The first was his Sword Dao avatar.
That avatar had already become independent in practical terms. He had relied entirely on Puppet on Strings to control it, and it had also embarked on the Sword Cultivator path, a path with little future.
The second was the Ascending Mystery Realm Fixed-View Sword. That had been an accident, because Lu Yang had originally intended to bring it back. Yet he discovered that this True Treasure could not be fused into Qian Tian Total Control Myriad Forms, nor did the Hundred Lives Book recognize it as his property.
'The ownership of a True Treasure does not lie in the hands of its holder.'
'It lies in the Fruit Position.'
Lu Yang pondered inwardly. 'Even a True Lord who holds the Fruit Position is not, strictly speaking, the owner of a True Treasure—only its temporary possessor.'
In his previous life, the Ascending Mystery Realm Fixed-View Sword had voluntarily pledged itself to him after he False Held Wall Earth.
