Just a Useful Pawn in the Stain Sect

In the Void Sea of Light, Lü Yang stood with his hands behind his back, a thoughtful look on his face.

Since he was setting up a killing trap to eliminate Venerable Victory Treasure Pestle Bodhisattva without alerting the Bhagavat, he naturally needed a plausible Outer Dao identity.

Otherwise, an Outer Dao True Monarch popping up out of nowhere without cause or consequence would look suspicious to anyone.

He thought, "I must forge an identity first."

After thinking it over, Lü Yang stepped forward and flew straight toward the Profound Spirit Realm. Soon, a massive void appeared in his line of sight.

He smiled faintly and thought, "Yes, this will do. From today on, I am a native Outer Dao True Monarch of the Profound Spirit Realm. This way, I can shift the blame onto the Profound Spirit Realm afterward and fly far away." He immediately activated Dao Without Borders, ignoring all obstacles, and stepped into the Profound Spirit Realm in a single stride.

RUMBLE!

The moment Lü Yang set foot in the Profound Spirit Realm, an intense wave of malice swept over him. It pressed down like overlapping mountains, threatening to crush him outright.

He sighed inwardly, "As expected, I am still too conspicuous."

Lü Yang didn’t mind this. After all, with his current Position, he was a bit too large for the Profound Spirit Realm to handle. It was only natural that his entry hurt it.

He was certainly unafraid of the Profound Spirit Realm’s rejection. In fact, if he let loose, he could obliterate the entire Profound Spirit Realm with a single strike. But doing so would ruin his plan to disguise his identity, so he couldn’t force his way in. He had to find a way to soothe it.

He thought, "If it were before, I might still have a headache over this."

Lü Yang’s expression was calm. With his palm facing upward, a radiant bright light slowly emerged in his hand and rapidly merged into Heaven and Earth.

Void Purification and Calm Business Jade Book!

This Dharma Gate, inherited from Bu Tianque, possessed an extraordinary Divine Effect in harvesting and repairing Heaven and Earth. Lü Yang cast it now, albeit with slight unfamiliarity.

Pinch Rune Technique!

For a moment, Lü Yang’s fingers flicked, sending streaks of bright light into Heaven and Earth. Simultaneously, his lips parted, and bright light shot from his mouth with every breath.

Swallow Rune Technique!

The former pinched Heaven and Earth to untangle the Spirit Veins, while the latter swallowed impure Qi to purify the Spiritual Qi. Together, they instantly dissolved the malice of Heaven and Earth that originally surrounded him.

Lü Yang accelerated his actions as he pondered, "Well, it is an Outer Dao Realm Heaven after all. It’s much more sensitive than the Heavenly God. I’ve only just begun learning the Void Purification and Calm Business Jade Book and haven’t truly mastered the four-rune secret technique, yet I can easily make this Heaven and Earth open its embrace to me. If this were the Immortal Pivot and I moved like this, the Heavenly God probably wouldn’t even react."

Beyond this, the Colorful Talent he had farmed from the Old Dragon Monarch—Heaven and Earth and I Are Born Together—surprisingly had a miraculous Divine Effect in this regard as well.

This Talent Skill added even more Divine Effect to the outcome of the Void Purification and Calm Business Jade Book.

RUMBLE!

In an instant, Heaven and Earth around him began to tremble and hum violently. Endless radiance spread out with him at the center, reflecting complex phenomena.

Looking around, True Dragons coiled, Vermilion Birds danced in the sky, White Tigers stood in attendance, and Black Tortoises bowed. In the sky, billions of clouds steamed and swirled in auspicious colors, all clustering around Lü Yang. They reflected a beam of Dao light that pierced straight into the heavens, dimming the sun, moon, and stars wherever it passed.

He realized, "Now is the moment!"

Seeing this, Lü Yang immediately understood the Profound Spirit Realm’s current state based on the records in the Void Purification and Calm Business Jade Book: it was basically at its Peak.

Without any hesitation, Lü Yang quickly changed his Daoist Hand Seal.

Move Rune Technique!

The next second, thunder cracked at his fingertips, and golden light flared. The Fruit of Divine-Empyrean Thunder emerged and was forcefully thrust deep into the Profound Spirit Realm.

At this moment, the entire Heaven and Earth Dao of the Profound Spirit Realm roared!

Meanwhile, at the highest echelon of the Profound Spirit Realm, above the Cloud Sea and inside the Celestial Court Hall, a heroic-looking man in luxurious robes snapped his eyes open.

He was the Supreme Venerable of the Profound Spirit Realm.

As an Outer Dao True Monarch, his strength was actually quite formidable. The quality of the Profound Spirit Realm’s Fate Fruit was far superior to that of an ordinary Outer Dao.

Because of the special nature of Fate, he, as its wielder, could perceive almost all changes in the Profound Spirit Realm, and the realm itself was entirely obedient to him. Yet, at this moment, he was astonished to discover that the Profound Spirit Realm—which had always shared a deep connection with him—suddenly felt somewhat distant.

"What is going on?"

The Supreme Venerable of the Profound Spirit Realm furrowed his brows, stood up, and walked out of the Celestial Court Hall. Casting his gaze downward, he quickly spotted the myriad phenomena surrounding Lü Yang’s location.

"Who is that?"

Seeing the phenomena that usually only clustered around him now surrounding a stranger, the Supreme Venerable felt deeply uneasy.

He subconsciously tried to ask the Profound Spirit Realm about the situation.

However, for some unknown reason, the Profound Spirit Realm gave no response at all. After being questioned repeatedly, it merely sent back an impatient reply, saying it was busy and telling him to wait.

Meanwhile, Lü Yang formed the Move Rune Technique. Under his fierce and full-force impact, the Fruit of Divine-Empyrean Thunder had now taken deep root inside the Profound Spirit Realm.

But this was not enough. He could sense a subtle rift remaining between the Fruit of Divine-Empyrean Thunder and the Profound Spirit Realm. Clearly, the core of the Profound Spirit Realm had not yet descended to truly accept his Fruit of Divine-Empyrean Thunder. Under these circumstances, he would not be able to establish his identity as a native Outer Dao of the Profound Spirit Realm.

With this in mind, he immediately changed his Daoist Hand Seal.

Silence Rune Technique!

As soon as this technique was unleashed, Lü Yang’s Mana, which had been frantically pouring into the Profound Spirit Realm, instantly halted. Even the Fruit of Divine-Empyrean Thunder stopped its further impact.

The Profound Spirit Realm instantly could no longer bear it.

Intense confusion surged through the connection of Heaven and Earth, but Lü Yang turned a deaf ear. He continued to hold the Silence Rune Technique, his underlying meaning abundantly clear: "I am not moving anymore; do it yourself."

As a result, the trembling of the Profound Spirit Realm became even more pronounced. Obviously, as an Outer Realm, taking the initiative to cater to an outsider was almost impossible for it.

Yet this was exactly where the terrifying aspect of the Void Purification and Calm Business Jade Book became apparent. An Outer Realm influenced by the Daoist Hand Seals from the book could no longer endure a life without them. The more Lü Yang remained still, the more agitated it grew. Finally, with a mournful whine, it actively lowered its Outer Realm core.

In an instant, golden light flared boundlessly!

The Fruit of Divine-Empyrean Thunder completely integrated with the core of the Profound Spirit Realm and was fully accepted. From this moment on, it was no different from a native Outer Dao Fruit Position!

Almost simultaneously, inside the Celestial Court of the Profound Spirit Realm, the Supreme Venerable, who had previously only been somewhat puzzled, wore a look of sheer shock. He finally discovered that an outsider had invaded the Profound Spirit Realm, which used to bare its heart only to him.

"Bastard!"

The Supreme Venerable flew into a rage!

After all, the Profound Spirit Realm originally belonged to him alone. Now, someone else was splitting it with him equally! This was a massive blow to his own strength!

At this thought, he immediately activated the Fate Fruit, intending to strike at the intruder. However, the next second, the Spiritual Qi around him gathered spontaneously, forming an invisible wall that blocked his path. At the same time, the consciousness of the Profound Spirit Realm—which felt inexplicably weak—sent a response:

"Telling me not to make a fuss?

"From now on, the other party and I are family?

"Huh?"

The Supreme Venerable of the Profound Spirit Realm was completely dumbfounded. He had no idea what had just happened. He only felt as if everything before his eyes had inexplicably taken on a slight shade of green.
