After killing Ancestor Cang Tian's body and Primordial Spirit, and obliterating his Dao Fruit, Lu Yang began to tally his gains and losses.
The fall of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal was no small matter; some Great Experts would surely sense it.
But at most, they would only deduce that Cang Tian had fallen, and that he had fallen on the Sun Star.
Lu Yang would not be exposed.
As Cang Tian possessed considerable Destiny and some Merit, killing him would incur consequences.
Currently, Lu Yang's focus was on a mass of Cang Tian's essence blood, a surge of Power of the Firmament, and some treasures.
Cang Tian, at the very least, had a Grand Unity level Origin/Foundation, so his essence blood was naturally extraordinary.
Analyzing this essence blood would greatly benefit the Golden Crow Lu Yang was cultivating to achieve a Grand Unity level Origin/Foundation.
As for the treasures, there were three Innate Spiritual Treasures, over a hundred Postnatal Spiritual Treasures, as well as some Golden Core spirit medicine, artifact refining divine materials, and two Innate Pure Qi Talismans.
One Pure Qi Talisman contained a Cultivation Method, the Profound Firmament Art. It cultivated the true body externally and the Primordial Spirit internally. If cultivated to completion, both the body and the Primordial Spirit would possess the Magic Power of a Calamity.
The other Pure Qi Talisman contained numerous Divine Abilities and wondrous methods.
Lu Yang wondered what Ancestor Cang Tian had been thinking.
Both the Cultivation Method and the Divine Abilities had their merits.
Lu Yang decided to take their essence.
"As for this Power of the Firmament..."
How to handle this Power of the Firmament required careful consideration.
Integrating it into his body could enhance his Origin/Foundation, but Lu Yang's Main Body was the Sun Star. Integrating the Power of the Firmament into the Sun Star? That was not advisable.
However, integrating it into a clone was something he could consider.
Another option was to use the Power of the Firmament as the core to cultivate Divine Abilities or refine Magic Treasures.
As for 'Mending the Heavens,' obtaining Merit was certain.
However, Merit did not hold much appeal for Lu Yang.
The Eye of the Firmament had flaws. If this Power of the Firmament were integrated into it, it might be perfected, thereby allowing the Heavenly Dao to be further refined.
This would undoubtedly be a great Merit, no question about it.
Being favored by the Heavenly Dao was also a certainty, and his Destiny would likely soar.
It was only right to consider this carefully.
After all, the Power of the Firmament was not something one found lying around.
He might never encounter it again.
"I'll use it for 'Mending the Heavens' then!" After much deliberation, Lu Yang made his decision.
There was no great need to enhance the Origin/Foundation of his clone.
As for Divine Abilities and Magic Treasures, they were not urgently needed.
And for 'Mending the Heavens,' the Merit and Destiny were a given, and perhaps there would be other benefits as well.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed since Ancestor Cang Tian's demise.
Half a year in the Primordial Era was quite a long time.
On this day, a purplish-red eye appeared above the Sun Star; it was none other than the Eye of the Firmament.
Its Heavenly might was unfathomable, and the eye gazed down upon everything, treating all living beings as straw dogs.
Within this eye, there was only indifference.
The Heavenly Dao was inherently a 'Rule,' devoid of emotion and selfishness.
Besides Lu Yang, no one else in the Primordial Era could see this Eye of the Firmament at this moment.
Compared to the entire Sun Star, the Eye of the Firmament was small, yet when Lu Yang met its gaze, he felt his own insignificance.
Even the Magic Power accumulated over two hundred Calamities was insufficient in its presence.
"Whoosh!"
Lu Yang tossed a surge of Power of the Firmament towards the Eye of the Firmament.
After a moment, the Power of the Firmament integrated into the Eye of the Firmament.
With the integration of the Power of the Firmament, the Eye of the Firmament blinked.
With just that single blink, the Eye of the Firmament became entirely different.
Purplish-red light flashed, so brilliant that even the Sun Star could not be directly observed.
Undoubtedly, the Eye of the Firmament had grown stronger, though by how much remained unknown.
When the Eye of the Firmament appeared, it was usually a Heavenly Punishment triggered by deep Karma.
This time, however, Lu Yang had summoned the Eye of the Firmament using the Power of the Firmament.
However, after summoning the Eye of the Firmament, if Lu Yang didn't 'mend the heavens,' some of his Merit and Destiny would be lost.
'If you play with the Eye of the Firmament, you bear the consequences yourself.'
'Mending the heavens' complete.
The Eye of the Firmament 'looked' at Lu Yang.
The next moment, a small cluster of the Eye of the Firmament's purplish-red radiance detached and fell towards the Sun Star.
Upon contact with the Sun Star, the purplish-red radiance transformed into a Heavenly Dao Mark, which then bound Lu Yang's Primordial Spirit.
Simultaneously, Lu Yang received a large portion of Merit, and his Destiny also increased significantly.
In terms of Merit, it was more than Lu Yang had anticipated.
Although Lu Yang received Merit daily.
The Merit gained from this 'mending of the heavens' was estimated to be equivalent to several years of his usual gains.
The increase in Destiny made him even happier.
What surprised him was the Heavenly Dao Mark.
Because the Heavenly Dao Mark was bound to his Primordial Spirit, he easily learned about its wondrous uses.
Grand Unity Dao Charm manifested upon Lu Yang's Primordial Spirit.
A Primordial Spirit at the Heavenly Immortal cultivation level would possess Dao Charm, and the higher the cultivation, the stronger the Dao Charm.
When Lu Yang first transmigrated, his soul level was low. Driven by the Sun Star, he condensed his Primordial Spirit, but the Dao Charm was lacking. It was through diligent cultivation that he reached his current state.
Although his Primordial Spirit cultivation had reached the Grand Unity level, his Dao Cultivation was still shallow, and he had not yet attained the Grand Unity Dao Fruit.
For others to attain a Grand Unity Dao Fruit, they often had to endure multiple Calamities, each lasting 129,600 years.
In reality, Lu Yang's progress could be considered incredibly swift.
Upon transmigrating, he found himself on the Sun Star. With its influence, he easily condensed his Primordial Spirit, and his subsequent cultivation of the Primordial Spirit advanced by leaps and bounds.
He found it relatively easy to comprehend the Heavenly Dao.
Furthermore, the Sun Star possessed Innate Spiritual Treasures and Innate Spiritual Roots, and even Innate Supreme Treasures.
Refining and absorbing the Innate restrictions would also contribute to the improvement of his Dao Cultivation.
At the Immortal Volcano, as Yuan Feng entered seclusion, Lu Ya was summoned back.
Not only Lu Ya, but many powerful experts from the Phoenix Clan who were outside were also called back.
Numerous important matters within the clan fell upon Lu Ya's shoulders.
A mass of Southern Bright Li Fire appeared in the sky and soon approached the Immortal Volcano.
The Vermillion Bird's figure flew out from the Li Fire.
The Vermillion Bird was now at the Grand Unity level.
Upon seeing Lu Ya, the Vermillion Bird pouted. In her eyes, Lu Ya was only at the Grand Unity level, but she didn't believe it at all!
There was only one explanation: Lu Ya was too fond of pretending.
Because of the Yellow Middle Plum, the Vermillion Bird still held a grudge against Lu Ya.
Lu Ya also saw the Vermillion Bird.
Every time they met, the Vermillion Bird treated him with hostility.
However, Lu Ya could sense that the Vermillion Bird didn't harbor much hatred towards him.
In a Blessed Land in a certain part of the Great Wilderness, it was perpetually shrouded in clouds and mist. Within a spiritual light, a fairyland appeared.
Immortal Cranes could be seen flying, spirit beasts roamed, and countless exotic flowers and rare herbs, ancient trees, and strange vines intertwined. In the distance, a waterfall cascaded down, with a lotus pond at its base. In the pond, large lotus flowers bloomed, some tri-colored, some multi-colored, and golden carps swam within.
Three figures sat beneath a large tree.
They were Hongjun, Ancestor Yin Yang, and Ancestor Qiankun.
All three were now Quasi-Sages.
The friendship between the three could be traced back to before Pangu's Creation.
"Did Cang Tian truly perish on the Sun Star?" Ancestor Qiankun asked Hongjun.
"Absolutely certain," Hongjun replied with conviction.
"Among us three, Daoist Hongjun's Dao Cultivation is the most profound!" Ancestor Yin Yang said with a smile.
"You jest, Daoist. I am merely fortunate. In terms of Dao Cultivation, you are not beneath me," Hongjun replied with a smile.
Ancestor Yin Yang and Ancestor Qiankun exchanged glances and smiled.
The three often debated the Dao, and they were clear about each other's Dao Cultivation.
Even if Hongjun's Dao Cultivation was the highest among the three, Ancestor Yin Yang and Ancestor Qiankun were not far behind.
"Cang Tian's strength wasn't weak, but I wonder who could have killed him?" Qiankun frowned and said.
"Someone capable of obliterating a Grand Unity Dao Fruit, their cultivation is likely above ours," Hongjun's face also held a lingering solemnity.
If he were to obliterate a Grand Unity Dao Fruit himself, it wouldn't be impossible, but it would take a very long time.
"Even if the three of us combined, we couldn't obliterate a Grand Unity Dao Fruit in a short period," Yin Yang said in a deep voice.
"It seems there's a Great Expert on the Sun Star."
After a long while, the three of them, Hongjun, Yin Yang, and Qiankun, left the Blessed Land together and headed for the Sun Star to investigate.
They suspected a powerful Quasi-Sage was hidden on the Sun Star, and whether it was Hongjun, Yin Yang, or Qiankun, they all needed to find out.
A powerful Quasi-Sage hiding in the shadows was truly unsettling.
On the way to the Sun Star, the three of them encountered some Great Experts, including Ancestor Huang Tian, Ancestor Qing Tian, and...
"Rahula?" Hongjun mused inwardly.
He figured Rahula must have also deduced that Cang Tian had perished on the Sun Star and had released the news.
