Inside Feixue Palace, Lu Yang sat cross-legged for a full day and night, the calculations between his fingers never ceasing. His handsome face visibly grew haggard.
Frost-white strands had even appeared amid his originally jet-black hair.
Such a sight was rarely seen in a Foundation Establishment True Person.
Much less Lu Yang, a True Person at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment, the strongest beneath the Golden Core realm. For him to become so worn down, the extent of his expenditure was plain to see.
Over that day and night, he had tried to calculate a way to break the deadlock, yet the result remained utter darkness. Before absolute strength, all his schemes seemed as futile as an ant trying to topple a tree. Unless he abandoned Fire in the Sky, killed himself, restarted, and chose an ordinary Fruit Position instead.
Without question, that was the easier path.
Lu Yang had even formed a plan: after restarting, he would choose Pomegranate Wood, then gather all manner of resources as a True Lord. Once he was completely prepared,
he would return and attempt to attain Fire in the Sky.
It was a thorough plan. If he took that route, aside from wasting a few more pages of the Hundred Lives Book, his hopes of success should have been greater than they were now.
Yet the next moment, Lu Yang cut off every thought of restarting.
Granted, attaining an ordinary Fruit Position was the easier route, but only a Supreme Fruit Position could serve as the foundation for Nascent Soul. Ordinary Fruit Positions were merely a waste of time!
As for becoming a True Lord first, accumulating enough, then returning to attain a Supreme Fruit Position—it was meaningless. No matter how thoroughly prepared one was, could one overpower a Nascent Soul Dao Lord?
