Chapter 631: Chapter 629: I Desire the Void Certificate
’This person... is an Immortal Core Demon!?’
What chilled Cyan Yang Immortal Monarch to the bone, however, was that despite Lü Yang saying such a thing, the Perfected Lords of the Outer Dao Alliance showed no reaction whatsoever.
’...This is bad!’
Cyan Yang Immortal Monarch’s blood ran cold. His gaze toward Lü Yang was filled with terror. After all, Lü Yang had revealed such a massive secret to him—it was a clear attempt to force his hand!
His heart pounded even harder when he saw that the doors to the grand hall were sealed shut. ’If I don’t agree, will these wretched Outer Dao practitioners immediately gang up and take me down? He made a fortune off the Wuyou Talisman. Against his financial resources, I don’t stand a chance.’
’I’ve boarded a pirate ship, and there’s no getting off... How bitter!’
The very next second, however, Lü Yang broke into a smile. "Alright, alright, everyone relax. Let’s not scare our guest of honor. We’re here to make money."
As he spoke, the Righteous Banner materialized behind him.
The [Enlightenment] Divine Effect laced his voice and, like a great, invisible hand, smoothed away the shock and fear on the faces of Cyan Yang Immortal Monarch and the others.
Witnessing this, Lü Yang’s smile grew even more sincere.
"Don’t misunderstand, everyone. It’s not that I can’t handle this business myself. I brought it up mainly to see how much nerve you all have."
"Of course, if none of you want to participate, that’s fine too. Just come sign a Contract, promising to voluntarily gift all of your assets to us—including your Fruits. Once we have your property, we can go risk our lives in your place. Wouldn’t that be the perfect solution for everyone?"
As he finished speaking, the [Enlightenment] Divine Effect was pushed to the Extreme!
For a moment, Cyan Yang Immortal Monarch and the others became dazed. They felt that what Lü Yang said made perfect sense and found themselves uncontrollably wanting to agree with him.
’No... something’s not right!’
Cyan Yang Immortal Monarch’s pupils shrank, his face twisting in a grimace. He was subconsciously about to erupt with his Qi trace, but in the next instant, his eyes went blank again.
"The Righteous Dao... must not kill wantonly... I... I should contribute to the Righteous Dao...?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Lü Yang nodded. "Everything we do is to champion the Righteous Dao. Daoist, it is only right that you contribute money and effort to our cause."
"You must understand, the Demon Dao is rampant in the world today, and the Righteous Dao is weak. I established the Righteous Qi Dao to change all that. I’m just a little short on startup funds, and you’re the last piece of the puzzle. Once you enter my Righteous Banner, we’ll be one big family, championing the Righteous Dao together!"
Under Lü Yang’s skillful persuasion, Cyan Yang Immortal Monarch’s expression gradually returned to normal.
"Ah! What you say is absolutely right, Daoist!"
"To champion the Righteous Dao, one must sacrifice the individual for the greater good. Wealth is merely a worldly possession; it is nothing! How can it possibly compare to the Righteous Dao?"
With that, Cyan Yang Immortal Monarch took a step forward.
And just like that, he left his Magical Power Mechanism on the Contract. The other three Orthodox Immortal Monarchs were dealt with by Lü Yang in the same fashion, their faces filled with awe-inspiring righteousness.
But a closer look would reveal that all four were already drenched in sweat.
’What... what kind of Evil Technique is this!’
The terror in Cyan Yang Immortal Monarch’s eyes was the most profound. He was still self-aware, yet he had no control over his actions, as if a second person was inhabiting his body!
’He’s definitely an Immortal Core Demon! And a Demon among Demons at that... from the Stain Sect?’
Meanwhile, Mountain Mover and the others felt their scalps tingle as they watched. ’Such tyrannical methods! Thankfully, we’re already loyal, so the Master has no need to use this on us.’
But their fear quickly turned to excitement.
For once Cyan Yang Immortal Monarch and the others "voluntarily" relinquished their Fruits, they would be the ones to receive them! Four whole orthodox Fruits—it was a windfall from Heaven!
In the next instant, the crowd swarmed forward.
And as Mountain Mover and the others disdainfully cast aside their own Outer Dao Fruit Positions to take on the noble, orthodox ones, a smile spread across Lü Yang’s face.
Colorful Talent—[Merely a Teacher’s Appearance]!
A massive amount of Cultivation surged into him!
The four Orthodox Immortal Monarchs’ Fruits encompassed the four lineages of Sun, Yangming, Lesser Yang, and Jueyin. The corresponding Cultivation filled Lü Yang to the brim in an instant.
At that moment, Lü Yang had an epiphany.
’As I am now... I might be able to attempt a Void Certificate.’
He wasn’t yet capable of manifesting a complete Fruit, but if he were just to void-certify a Fruit Position Prototype, he felt his chances were very high!
’As long as I can find a way to trap a few more Immortal Monarchs, get the Fruits and Cultivation from the Lesser Yin and Taiyin lineages, and gather all of the Celestial Mansion Six Qi... then, with the [Path Opening Map], I can reverse-engineer how the Nameless Daoist Lord evolved the Six Qi into twenty-four Fruits. I’ll integrate the Six Qi and void-certify a Fruit!’
