Chapter Title: Dispatching the Immortal Fetus Avatar
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the quiet chamber, Lu Yang eyed the immortal fetus avatar he had nurtured over three months using the Nine Sons Mother Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword. Curiosity filled his face as he examined it from top to bottom.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Lu Yang nodded in satisfaction. He slowly circulated his mana.
Almost simultaneously, the immortal fetus avatar before him opened its eyes. Their gazes met.
A wondrous connection immediately arose in Lu Yang's sea of consciousness. His originally unified perspective abruptly split. He now viewed his surroundings simultaneously from the perspectives of both the immortal fetus avatar and his main body.
The reason for this was that he had not injected his own divine sense into the immortal fetus avatar.
If he had injected divine sense, he could leave everything to that strand to control it.
Lu Yang would only need to receive information transmitted by the divine sense when necessary. He wouldn't have to bother manually controlling both sides like now.
Yet Lu Yang chose not to do so.
The reason was simple: splitting off divine sense was far too dangerous! One slip could allow the avatar to develop its own consciousness—something Lu Yang could not tolerate.
"Better for me to control it personally!"
True, this meant his main body would have to enter secluded cultivation while the avatar moved. But he had no intention of wandering about recklessly anyway.
"Still, just in case."
With that thought, Lu Yang formed a hand seal with one hand. He then began inscribing on the immortal fetus avatar's body—brilliant, gleaming restraints!
Every one of these restraints was designed for self-detonation. Moreover, they were crafted without any thought to a method of解除. Lu Yang needed only a single thought to reduce the immortal fetus avatar to ashes in an instant, not even leaving a scrap of flesh behind. This was pure insurance.
After finishing all this, Lu Yang produced another item.
It was a strand of earthy-yellow qi. Even just cradled in Lu Yang's palm, it evoked an indescribable sense of heaviness, like a towering mountain.
Earth vein qi!
This was the gift from Many Treasures Child back in Celebration Kingdom. He had treasured it ever since, saving it for a critical moment to坑 his enemies in a big way.
"Using it right now is perfect!"
Lu Yang placed the earth vein qi in his palm. He gathered mana between his lips and teeth, then blew gently.
The earth vein qi scattered at once, merging into the immortal fetus avatar.
"With this strand of earth vein qi integrated, the immortal fetus avatar is now a self-destruct truck. No matter who schemes against me and destroys it, they'll face heavenly reckoning afterward! And thanks to the avatar's calamity-avoidance effect, I myself won't be tainted by the slightest karma."
A perfect pairing!
Next, Lu Yang pondered for a moment. He handed the Formless Sword to the immortal fetus avatar's hand. Then he successively withdrew several superior spirit treasures from his person.
Hundred Evils Subduing Peril Mystic Cloak.
Purple Tenuity Demoted Official Supreme Golden Seal.
Pacifying Clarity Aura Treasure Pagoda.
Plus the many spirit treasures and artifacts used to construct Ten Thousand Treasures River.
Aside from the Avici Sword, Ten Thousand Spirits Banner, Heaven-Scrutinizing Instrument, and Imperial Mansion Golden Seal Tushita True Edict—these four supreme treasures—Lu Yang gave everything else to the immortal fetus avatar.
"Now it looks proper."
Lu Yang smiled faintly. He circulated his mana, beginning the exchange with the immortal fetus avatar.
Soon, the divine ability halos around his body faded one by one.
The same halos then emanated from around the immortal fetus avatar. In a flash, its cultivation rose to mid Foundation Establishment. Even the empowerment from the Imperial Mansion Golden Seal Tushita True Edict was included. At a glance, it resembled a perfected mid-stage true person!
"Pity that once I sever the link, it drops straight to mortal."
"If it could hold mid Foundation Establishment battle power without my empowerment, that would be the real feat—conjuring a true person from nothing."
For now, though, it would suffice.
Lu Yang nodded. He didn't step out. Instead, his main body simply sat on the prayer mat. The immortal fetus avatar flexed briefly in place, then strode out with head held high.
"Yuantu kept this concubine waiting far too long!"
At Sacred Fire Cliff, Perfected Being Miaoyin watched "Lu Yang" descend on escape light. Her fine brows furrowed slightly. Something felt off, yet she couldn't pinpoint what.
"Madam has waited too long."
Lu Yang chuckled lightly. He then cupped his hands.
"After all, it's beyond the heavens—dangers abound. This one had to make extra preparations. I hope Madam won't take offense."
"How could I blame you?"
Perfected Being Miaoyin covered her mouth in a light laugh. She temporarily set aside her doubts.
She reminded him instead.
"This trip to Myriad Martial Realm... It has already nurtured a fruit position, and a sensitive one at that. The moment we enter, we'll become everyone's target."
"So that's it."
Lu Yang nodded. Curiosity sparked in him.
"Then how do we enter? Do we abandon our cultivation and start from scratch in Myriad Martial Realm?"
"Impossible!"
Perfected Being Miaoyin laughed in astonishment.
"We enter to harvest qi—to seize the heaven and earth's essence and grow our dao path. Abandoning cultivation... wouldn't that invert priorities?"
"We enter at full power, naturally!"
Lu Yang gained sudden insight. Qi harvesting was robbery at its core. If he was there to rob, why follow the realm's rules?
"Still, fellow daoist, don't get careless. Myriad Martial Realm has formidable figures too."
At her words, Lu Yang's curiosity deepened.
"Oh? What wondrous path does Myriad Martial Realm cultivate? Are there cultivators rivaling great true persons?"
"There are, naturally."
Perfected Being Miaoyin nodded—then shook her head.
"But Myriad Martial Realm's fruit position was born not long ago. Under normal circumstances, it won't permit great true persons to emerge. Only after we enter, out of self-preservation, will it spawn them to besiege us."
"Oh?"
Perfected Being Miaoyin's words revealed something Lu Yang found quite intriguing: newly born fruit positions forbade great true persons from emerging?
Why?
As Lu Yang pondered, he had already followed Perfected Being Miaoyin to a majestic great hall. Inside, dense, intricate array patterns dazzled the eyes.
"This is Heaven-Piercing Hall."
Perfected Being Miaoyin explained.
"Like the Law Refining Secret Realm, it was left by the ancestor—a superior true treasure. We use it to travel the outer heavens."
Lu Yang's expression grew solemn.
Nascent Soul treasure!
Moments later, Perfected Being Miaoyin stood within Heaven-Piercing Hall. She cupped her hands in salute.
"Lord Tongtian, please send us to Myriad Martial Realm."
The next instant, brilliant light bloomed in the hall.
From the light bounced a figure, playful and sprightly—a handsome daoist child, cute and exquisite, clad in loose daoist robes.
Paper and brush in hand, its eyes flowed with starry radiance, myriad spectacles swirling within. Drool lingered at the corner of its mouth, as if freshly roused from deep slumber. It hastily wiped its mouth. Then, hands behind its back, it strutted pretentiously before Perfected Being Miaoyin and Lu Yang.
"You two disturbed this old ancestor's seclusion?"
The dao child spoke with haughty arrogance. One hand clutched paper and brush. Its other chubby little hand stretched out, waving vigorously at them.
What was this about?
Lu Yang froze. Only when Perfected Being Miaoyin smoothly offered a magic treasure did realization dawn.
A toll!
Damn, worthy of the Holy Sect!
Lu Yang grumbled inwardly, expression unchanged. He too offered a cute-styled treasure. The dao child beamed with delight at once.
"Good, good, good! Nice, sensible!"
"Myriad Martial Realm, eh? Let this old ancestor check... Hmm, you cultivate the Grand Unity of the Qian Heaven Encompassing All Heavens Divine Law. Yes, that's the one."
With that, the dao child waved its hand grandly.
The next second, Lu Yang felt the world spin. It was as if he had plunged into primordial chaos. His consciousness soared skyward in an instant—then plummeted!
"Boom!"
