Arc 56Xuande in Heaven Beyond Heaven
Lu Yang entered the Eighth Secret Realm and traveled into the Ancient Era, where he took the name Xuande and uncovered the Dao Venerable’s legacy and Immortal Taiyuan’s influence. As Lu Yang completed 129,600 years of cultivation and prepared to return to Void Darkness, the struggle over Si Sui and False History erupted again.
- Lu Yang misled Chu Sheng and worked with Dao Tianqi to reach the Eighth Secret Realm, while the Dao Lords’ battles over Other Shore and False History created openings for his plan.
- Dao Tianqi revealed that he had impersonated Lu Yang and transformed [Death Loop], allowing Lu Yang to use [Dove Occupies Magpie's Nest] and the Spirit Transformation Heir talent to enter the ancient realm.
- Lu Yang introduced himself as Xuande to the Ancient Era Dao Ancestors, was added as the eighteenth name in the Dao Register, and returned to Heaven Beyond Heaven in the Junping Calendar’s 129,600th year.
- Lu Xian revealed that he was the first Guardian and explained the Dao Venerable’s legacy, the ten paths, and Immortal Taiyuan’s connection to the Divine Fortune Book of Fate.
- Lu Xian reincarnated, and Lu Yang rescued his True Spirit after Chu Sheng killed him, saved more than half of the Guardian Lineage, and gathered ancient cultivation methods while studying the path to transcendence.
- Chu Sheng discovered Xuande’s name in the Dao Register and resolved that Lu Yang could not be allowed to live, while Dao Tianqi returned through [Death Loop] after Chu Sheng erased him.
- After completing 129,600 years of accumulation, Lu Yang prepared to return to Void Darkness for his second essential transformation as Lu Xian warned that Heaven Beyond Heaven was about to open.
- Dao Tianqi spread the Netherworld across the Light Sea to demand Si Sui’s rescue, while Sword Lord and Cang Hao moved against False History and the World Honored One chose to risk entering it.
