Chapter 311: Essence of All Flowers
In the realm of ăVoid Heavenă, above the layers of cloud seas.
The Innate True Person sat cross-legged in midair. The various emotions he had displayed earlier during his exchange with LĂŒ Yang had now been restrained, replaced by a cold indifference.
Before him were three light screens.
One of the screens depicted a blood-soaked city, where the 'Innate True Person' was laughing maniacally while tearing a ăHeavenly Maidenă in half.
This was True Lord Qingcheng Feixue.
Another screen showed the 'Innate True Person' with a resolute Dao heart, viewing beauty as mere skeletons, effortlessly walking out of the grand formation.
This was ăAng Xiaoă.
The Innate True Person was not surprised by these scenes; instead, he nodded, "As expected of True Lords, the first tribulation was still too simple for them."
"However, they probably won't continue further."
A Golden Core True Lord could already see through the illusions of ăVoid Heavenă and understand that it held no real value for them, so they wouldn't waste more time.
But the third person...
Thinking of this, the Innate True Person turned his gaze to the third light screen.
"...This is true strength!"
In an instant, the Innate True Person's eyes twitched slightly. Compared to the methods of the previous two, the abilities displayed by LĂŒ Yang truly earned his admiration.
As someone who had personally experienced it, the Innate True Person knew well what he had faced back then. To plot against him, the entire Mending Heaven Peak of the Holy Sect had mobilized.
Every time he recalled it, he couldn't help but imagine that if he had just gritted his teeth and held on a bit longer, perhaps he would have been the victor.
Unexpectedly, what he had failed to achieve, LĂŒ Yang had now accomplished.
After a moment of reflection, the Innate True Person closed his eyes with some regret, "However, this person seems to have seen through the essence of it and probably won't take the final step."
"What a pity."
Overseas, at the headquarters of the Immortal Alliance.
LĂŒ Yang's avatar opened his eyes, as clear as a mirror.
He no longer dwelled on the recent events but instead focused on comprehending the newly emerged technique in his mind.
ăMystical Method of the Grand Void Rituală!
"This is a method to connect with ăVoid Heavenă. By channeling mana and silently reciting it three times, one can enter ăVoid Heavenă to attempt the tribulation again."
"However, each exploration of ăVoid Heavenă, regardless of success or failure, will extract a portion of one's merit and fortune, requiring time to recover."
Thinking of this, LĂŒ Yang's expression turned solemn.
He then opened his palm, and two divine lights of supernatural powers rose from his hand.
ăMaster of Warfareă!
ăStubborn Gold Dukeă!
These two innate supernatural powers circled around LĂŒ Yang, but as his consciousness operated, a third divine light suddenly appeared on his body!
It was a pink radiance, and as it manifested, a fragrant aroma wafted out, causing one to involuntarily sink into it, their soul in disarray. Under its illumination, even ăMaster of Warfareă and ăStubborn Gold Dukeă began to waver, showing signs of losing control.
This was clearly another supernatural power!
"Truly bestowed upon me; this is the reward for successfully overcoming the tribulation? Moreover, based on the performance during the tribulation, the obtained supernatural power seems to differ subtly."
The supernatural power he received was named ăEssence of All Flowersă.
"According to the feedback from ăVoid Heavenă, this is the highest tier, evidently due to my unwavering will, an act beyond ordinary capabilities."
The next tier of supernatural power was called ăUnshaken Heartă.
The lowest tier was called ăWhite Bone Observationă.
"These three supernatural powers correspond to three methods of breaking the formation. The highest tier is undoubtedly my method, followed by guarding the mind and spirit, and the lowest is indiscriminate slaughter."
The more LĂŒ Yang comprehended, the more he marveled:
"A well-defined system, truly resembling a fruit position. If everyone were to enter ăVoid Heavenă to overcome tribulations, this fruit position might genuinely be achieved!"
"However..."
The next moment, he narrowed his eyes: "...What role did the Innate True Person play in this? Did he truly use his life to validate the fruit position?"
Leaving ăVoid Heavenă as a legacy for future generations? He didn't believe it!
As a True Person of the Holy Sect, LĂŒ Yang had always been inclined to view people from the worst perspective, so he absolutely didn't believe the Innate True Person had any benevolent intentions!
"After all, everyone who enters ăVoid Heavenă does so under the identity of the 'Innate True Person'."
If that's the case, then who ultimately succeeded in breaking through the five tribulations and advancing to True Lord? Was it the 'Innate True Person', or the person bearing his name and identity?
Just thinking about it was deeply unsettling.
"Regardless of whether I have the ability to overcome the tribulation, even if I do, I must stop at the fourth tribulation. The fifth must not be attempted; otherwise, the consequences would be dire."
Of course, this wasn't something to worry about now.
LĂŒ Yang regained his composure and stopped overthinking. The benefits of ăVoid Heavenă were undeniable, and for now, he could continue cultivating through it for significant improvement.
Because ăVoid Heavenă had another advantage.
"This ăEssence of All Flowersă... surprisingly doesn't occupy my supernatural power slot!"
According to convention, a Foundation Establishment True Person could only have one innate supernatural power and four innate supernatural abilities in their lifetime, each slot being crucial.
However, the supernatural power bestowed by ăVoid Heavenă was different. Its essence was an illusory entity that could materialize when needed and dissipate when not, akin to nothingness. If not for its actual power, LĂŒ Yang would have thought this supernatural power was fake!
"This method is somewhat similar to the marvel of ăHolding the Lawă."
But there was a difference between the two.
"Under the marvel of ăHolding the Lawă, I can anticipate the next supernatural power and break through realms, but ăEssence of All Flowersă doesn't seem to have this effect."
Normally, an additional innate supernatural power for a Foundation Establishment True Person would be a qualitative change.
However, the supernatural power bestowed by ăVoid Heavenă was truly just a supernatural power. While it could enhance combat power, it couldn't effectively elevate one's realm and status.
"Is this the limitation of an incomplete ăVoid Heavenă?"
"Or is it intentional by the Innate True Person?"
LĂŒ Yang pondered, leaning towards the latter answer. After all, a Foundation Establishment cultivator with five supernatural powers but no corresponding status would be easier to deal with.
Thinking of this, LĂŒ Yang's main body in Jiangnan had a sudden thought.
Immediately, a brand-new Myriad Spirits Banner appeared in his palm.
This was something he brought using the ăBook of a Hundred Lifetimesă, with all karma cleansed, thus it couldn't be used to attract Dao sins.
"However, its essence shouldn't have changed."
"What exactly is this ăVoid Heavenă? Before being activated by the innate Dao sin, it should have already existed within the Myriad Spirits Banner, but I hadn't noticed..."
At this point, LĂŒ Yang's thoughts gradually became fervent.
"If it truly resides within the Myriad Spirits Banner, then given time, could it be used by me?"
The Innate True Person used this to validate ăVoid Heavenă.
What about himself?
If his cultivation and realm were sufficient, perhaps he could also use this to validate a fruit position!
