Chapter 311: Essence of All Flowers

In the realm of 【Void Heaven】, 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 Lü 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 【Heavenly Maiden】 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 【Ang Xiao】.

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 【Void Heaven】 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 Lü 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, Lü 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.

Lü 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.

【Mystical Method of the Grand Void Ritual】!

“This is a method to connect with 【Void Heaven】. By channeling mana and silently reciting it three times, one can enter 【Void Heaven】 to attempt the tribulation again.”

“However, each exploration of 【Void Heaven】, regardless of success or failure, will extract a portion of one’s merit and fortune, requiring time to recover.”

Thinking of this, Lü Yang’s expression turned solemn.

He then opened his palm, and two divine lights of supernatural powers rose from his hand.

【Master of Warfare】!

【Stubborn Gold Duke】!

These two innate supernatural powers circled around Lü 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 【Master of Warfare】 and 【Stubborn Gold Duke】 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 【Essence of All Flowers】.

“According to the feedback from 【Void Heaven】, this is the highest tier, evidently due to my unwavering will, an act beyond ordinary capabilities.”

The next tier of supernatural power was called 【Unshaken Heart】.

The lowest tier was called 【White Bone Observation】.

“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 Lü Yang comprehended, the more he marveled:

“A well-defined system, truly resembling a fruit position. If everyone were to enter 【Void Heaven】 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 【Void Heaven】 as a legacy for future generations? He didn’t believe it!

As a True Person of the Holy Sect, Lü 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 【Void Heaven】 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.

Lü Yang regained his composure and stopped overthinking. The benefits of 【Void Heaven】 were undeniable, and for now, he could continue cultivating through it for significant improvement.

Because 【Void Heaven】 had another advantage.

“This 【Essence of All Flowers】… 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 【Void Heaven】 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, Lü Yang would have thought this supernatural power was fake!

“This method is somewhat similar to the marvel of 【Holding the Law】.”

But there was a difference between the two.

“Under the marvel of 【Holding the Law】, I can anticipate the next supernatural power and break through realms, but 【Essence of All Flowers】 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 【Void Heaven】 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 【Void Heaven】?”

“Or is it intentional by the Innate True Person?”

Lü 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, Lü 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 【Book of a Hundred Lifetimes】, 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 【Void Heaven】? 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, Lü 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 【Void Heaven】.

What about himself?

If his cultivation and realm were sufficient, perhaps he could also use this to validate a fruit position!
