"The so-called ascension to seek gold has different interpretations among various factions, but to sum it up in one sentence: refine the golden nature to ascend the blessed land, transform the grotto-heaven to obtain true attainment."
True Person Chong Guang spoke with a smile, explaining eloquently:
"The so-called ăBlessed Landă refers to something transformed by a grand True Person who has achieved Foundation Establishment Perfection, using their own life essence as the foundation and supplementing it with innate divine abilities to expand their Dao foundation."
"When the ăBlessed Landă soars, it becomes a ăGrotto-Heavenă."
"And only the ăGrotto-Heavenă can align with the position of Heaven and Earth."
"As for how to transform the ăBlessed Landă into a ăGrotto-Heavenă, the key lies in the golden nature."
"The golden nature is the essence of the soul."
"A grand True Person who has achieved Foundation Establishment Perfection must extract the indestructible golden nature from their own soul to propel the ăBlessed Landă and transform it into a ăGrotto-Heavenă."
Speaking of this, True Person Chong Guang glanced at LĂź Yang again and smiled, saying:
"If the attempt to seek gold fails, and the ăBlessed Landă cannot withstand the Dao transformation brought by the fruit position, it will merge with the golden nature, giving rise to a Dao Calamity."
"The Dao Calamity inherits all the knowledge of the original body, and its strength might even surpass Foundation Establishment Perfection by one level."
"However, the Dao Calamity is ultimately not a cultivator."
"Its existence itself defies common sense, and it delights in devouring cultivators, so it is generally eradicated by the joint effort of the True Lords."
"For example, if I fail this time, it will be True Lord Feixue who will eliminate the Dao Calamity I become."
True Person Chong Guang even used himself as an example, but before he finished speaking, LĂź Yang stood up with a solemn expression and declared firmly:
"Martial Uncle, please do not speak such nonsense!"
"This time, Martial Uncle seeks gold with full preparation, protected by True Lords above and with our lives below. There is certainly a tenfold chance of success. Martial Uncle, do not let your Dao heart waver!"
"Hahaha, you are right. I misspoke."
True Person Chong Guang squinted his eyes slightly.
Although he knew LĂź Yang was flattering him, the words made sense, so he still found them pleasing.
Seeing this, True Person Yinshan, who had been silently watching from the side, could only sigh in his heart.
A hundred years had passed.
Back then, he was the revered senior in LĂź Yangâs eyes, but now, it seemed LĂź Yang was closer to Senior Brother Chong Guang.
He himself had been relegated to the lowest seat.
Thinking back, it was still because he had been too tongue-tied!
Why hadnât I thought of saying such words just now?
That said, True Person Yinshan didnât harbor any negative emotions.
He quickly adjusted his mindset and said calmly:
"Senior Brother has prepared all the internal factors."
"As for internal tribulations, Senior Brother is fully capable of overcoming them."

"The only concern is the external tribulation."
True Person Yinshanâs words made LĂź Yangâs expression turn serious:
"External tribulation... Does Senior Brother mean that on the day Martial Uncle seeks ascension, there will be an external attack?"
"Not 'might', but 'definitely'."
True Person Chong Guang chuckled softly:
"After all, I cannot break through within the Primordial Saint Sect."
"In fact, to seek ascension, I must travel to another territory."
LĂź Yang frowned:
"Which territory?"
"That place lies southwest of Jiangbei."
"It is called ăKingdom of Qingă."
True Person Chong Guang explained:
"This place is a marvel left behind when our Saint Sect lost to the Dao Court in a past Dao-seizing war, struck into Jiangbei by the Dao Courtâs Son of Heaven."
"The cultivation within it differs greatly from Jiangbei. It was modeled after the Dao Court and is located at the border between Jiangxi and Jiangdong. It serves as the Dao Courtâs stronghold for entering Jiangbei."
"I intend to take it as the resource for my ascension."
As his words fell, the energy around True Person Chong Guang suddenly shifted.
Like a spark at first, it quickly surged into a raging blaze.
"Do you know the nature of the ăOverturning Lamp Flameă?"
Inside the grand hall, True Person Chong Guangâs voice became ethereal.
LĂź Yangâs expression turned solemn.
He had once witnessed the manifestation of the ăOverturning Lamp Flameă through the miraculous power of ăTreading Dangeră from the ăAbhijna Swordă.
"The ăOverturning Lamp Flameă is actually the light of a golden lamp, illuminating places the sun and moon do not reach, bringing light to times when Heaven and Earth remain unlit."
"Yuan Tu was right."
True Person Chong Guang nodded upon hearing this:
"To seek ascension, oneâs words and actions must align with the imagery of the fruit position itself, only then can resonance with the fruit position be drawn."
"The ăOverturning Lamp Flameă illuminates where the sun and moon do not, bringing light to unlit Heaven and Earth."
"I take from it the concept of 'inversion', so I must verify it by reversing the rules of other fruit positions."
"And the ăKingdom of Qingă, being the marvel the Dao Courtâs Son of Heaven struck into Jiangbei, naturally contains the rules of the Dao Courtâs fruit position."
"This is my opportunity to attain the Dao."
At this point, True Person Chong Guang finally laid out his plan:
"I intend to reincarnate into the ăKingdom of Qingă and reverse its Dao Court order from within."
As he spoke, radiant brilliance emerged behind him.
It was as if a lamp had been lit, its weak flame gradually spreading a bright glow.
"I have cultivated the ăSix Harmonies Bright Essence Dao Qiă through the ăHeartfire Illuminating the Divine Pill Scriptureă, built the ăChonghua Sun Pavilion Dao Foundationă, and refined my innate divine ability ăBright Scenery Flight Diagramă."
"Combining the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, I have transformed them into innate divine abilities."
"With the ăEverlasting Spring Treeă, ăYin Dragon Wateră, ăDread of Fellingă, and ăRigid Flame Furnaceă, I have completed my life essence."
"Thus forming the ăDongyang Blessed Landă!"
As his words fell, the brilliance behind True Person Chong Guang fully condensed, vaguely revealing pavilions and towers, with the rising sun and flying scenery illuminating the entire grand hall!
"Once I reverse the ăKingdom of Qingă, I shall surely earn the favor of the fruit position and ascend to seek gold!"
Bathed in the radiant light, LĂź Yangâs expression grew heavy.
He understood True Person Chong Guangâs meaning.
This so-called seeking of gold was actually a massive ritual to attract the attention of the fruit position.
With the fruit positionâs guidance, the direction of the ăBlessed Landăâs ascension could be ensured.
Otherwise, if the direction was wrong and the ăBlessed Landă flew to the wrong fruit positionâs domain, at best the Blessed Land would fall, at worst it would shatter, resulting in failure.
True Person Chong Guang was at this stage now, his cultivation perfected, his golden nature complete, fully capable of breaking through.
All that remained was the final stepâgaining the favor of the ăOverturning Lamp Flameă to point him to the location of the fruit position.
Once successful, the ascension of the ăBlessed Landă into the ăGrotto-Heavenă would be certain.
"I am willing to give my life for Martial Uncle!"
Without hesitation, LĂź Yang declared his commitment.
True Person Yinshan followed closely behind, and seeing this, True Person Chong Guang finally retracted his energy slowly.
"Naturally, I trust you, otherwise I would not have entrusted this matter to you."
"However, reversing the rules of a fruit position is no small matter."
"To succeed, external help alone is useless."
"There must be cooperation from both inside and outside, attacking together. Only under such pressure can the rules of the fruit position be broken."
"My reincarnation into the ăKingdom of Qingă is to act from within."
"Therefore, I also need you to gather the cultivators of Jiangbei and march south to attack the ăKingdom of Qingă, applying external pressure to create the opportunity for my reversal."
As his words fell, LĂź Yang let out a heavy breath.
No wonder when he had picked up the corpses overseas this time, even after gaining immense benefits, neither True Lord Feixue nor True Person Chong Guang had minded.
It turned out they wanted him to risk his life!
March south to attack the ăKingdom of Qingă?
There was no need to think twice.
As the marvel left behind by the Dao Courtâs Son of Heaven in Jiangbei, this would inevitably pit them against the Dao Court.
Moreover, marching south meant that the Sword Pavilion would likely get involved!
Under such circumstances, LĂź Yang naturally needed to be as strong as possible.
That was why True Person Chong Guang was eager for him to gain more benefits.
How could he possibly compete with him for those benefits?
After all, nothing was more important than Chong Guangâs ascension to seek gold.
In other words, LĂź Yang had already gained so much.
How could he refuse to take action?
With this thought, LĂź Yang immediately cupped his hands and declared loudly:
"I am willing to follow Martial Uncleâs will. Please instruct me when to march south, I shall not decline!"
Seeing this, True Person Chong Guang finally let out a hearty laugh:
"Yuan Tu, you may rise."
"I have already received True Lord Feixueâs decree."
"Before marching south, Yuan Tu may visit the Manifestation Pavilion at the Sacred Fire Cliff to acquire one or two techniques for self-protection."
After speaking, True Person Chong Guang exchanged a glance with LĂź Yang, and the two smiled at each other.
It was clear that True Person Chong Guang understood perfectly.
LĂź Yangâs prior declaration was a matter of loyalty.
However, loyalty could not fill the stomach.
As True Persons of the Saint Sect, no one took empty promises seriously, so True Person Chong Guang did not speak of illusions.
LĂź Yang had just agreed to take action, and in the next moment, Chong Guang offered real benefits.
This was the true tradition of the Saint Sect!
