Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1000: The First Step to Empty Certificates!
Inside the [Master of Nourishing Life], Lü Yang sat cross-legged, holding the Floating Light Realm Sea in his left palm, while a raging fire burned in his right palm.

Amidst the raging flames, a round, radiant object hovered, its energy contained yet not released, seemingly still in the process of accumulating and nurturing. Even so, a vast, ocean-like wave spread out, expanding and surging, causing the entire [Nourishment Master] to tremble slightly.

The resounding sound was like the roar of a dragon.

Every so often, the raging fire in Lü Yang's palm would weaken, and at that time, he would look at the Floating Light Boundary Sea in his left hand.

He then extracted a clone from the Floating Light Sea.

[Golden Talent: Great Self-Destruction]!
"Boom."

The power of the self-destruction of the clone became the best fuel, restoring the weakened flames to their peak and continuing to refine the Dragon Lord's precious materials within.

However, Lü Yang gradually frowned.

“Not quite right”

The refining of the fourth true treasure was completely different from the previous three. The previous three were completed almost instantly, without any bottlenecks from beginning to end.

Unfortunately, for this fourth item, he has already thrown in nearly a hundred clones, self-destructed to ignite the fire, and perfectly melted all the Dragon Lord's treasures. However, every time he gets to the point of solidifying the form, he always fails at the last minute. This cycle repeats itself, which is why he has not been able to complete the true treasure refining for so long.

"Is this the threshold for an empty certificate?"

Lu Yang's eyes flickered slightly. After all, the [Divine Firmament Thunder] was created based on the Heavenly Seed, and it belonged to the category of [Pseudo-Emptiness Certificate], not a true Emptiness Certificate.

This is the first time I've had such an experience.

In his perception, this fourth treasure was like a dying fetus; although its energy was constantly accumulating, it was powerless to break through the eggshell.

This situation is not a big deal if it lasts for two or three days.

However, as time goes by, the accumulation of vital energy exceeds its peak, and if it continues to be delayed, it will only slowly decline, eventually becoming a true stillborn fetus in the egg.

We must find a way to break this deadlock.

Lu Yang frowned and couldn't help but shake his head. This kind of cultivation involving emptiness can only rely on the cultivator himself, and he simply cannot bring out his peerless talent!
Seeing that the true treasure embryo's energy accumulation had reached its peak amidst the raging flames, Lü Yang had no choice but to use a magic incantation to light a golden ray at his fingertip and then integrate it into the embryo, allowing the true treasure embryo, which had been unable to continue growing, to re-enter the accumulation phase.

【Gold in Sand】Mysterious – 【Gradually Taking Shape】!
This profound essence, which is essential for nourishment, is naturally effective in refining weapons and alchemy. However, using it at this moment is merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

"This method can raise the upper limit of savings."

"However, the more it accumulates, the harder the eggshell becomes, and the harder it is to break. As long as the eggshell cannot be broken, whatever I do is just a delaying tactic."

Lu Yang carefully observed the changes in his palm, his eyes gleaming with wonder.

"There is still a certain time lag between the balance between the eggshell and the internal energy. First, the energy accumulates, and after a while, the eggshell will further improve."

As he spoke, a clear mirror gradually emerged in the depths of Lü Yang's eyes, its gleaming light illuminating the hidden secrets and allowing him to observe more clearly.

[The Divine Fruit of Yin and Yang Mirror]!
The Dao Fruit Secret Method, with the [Covering Lamp Fire] at its core, elevates the imagery of the [Covering Lamp Fire] to its extreme, finally allowing Lü Yang to discover the key.

"If one can use overwhelming force to instantly amplify the accumulated energy of the treasure, and then seize the time difference before the eggshell can follow suit, it might be possible to break through the eggshell in one go and allow the treasure to take shape. However, achieving this will likely require paying a price."

In an instant, Lü Yang had a sudden realization.

"Extremely powerful, where does this power come from? It can only be borrowed. There is no other way, at least I have never seen it."

The word "borrow" means to borrow something from outside.

For example, Angxiao was able to prove the truth of things by borrowing the power of the Great Forest Tree, which enabled him to take the first step.

The snow should be about the same.

The same applies to the Taiyin Immortal Venerable's [Gathering of Gold], except that she borrows not a position of authority, but all living beings in the Heavenly Palace; it's just a different approach. "And what about me?"

Whom should I borrow from?
“My intention is to unify the Five Elements of Supreme Power, create the Five True Treasures, and then combine the True Treasures into one. Since that is the case, I should borrow from things related to them.”

Lu Yang calmly considered the situation and sincerely sensed its potential.

In a daze, he seemed to sense an extremely faint call. In response, his consciousness went deeper and deeper, and he stopped paying attention to the outside world.

Even as the aura of the treasure grew stronger and stronger in his hands, approaching its peak, he remained completely unaware, as if he had fallen into a state of tranquility.

At this moment, all things are empty, and heaven and earth are silent.

In this tranquil place, only his consciousness truly existed, unmoved, undisturbed, unaware of the nature of heaven and earth, nor the passage of time.

Finally, a thunderous sound, like the beating of a heart, shattered the silence. Like a burst of sunlight, it instantly ignited Lü Yang's consciousness. What began as a spark quickly became a raging inferno, amplifying the originally faint sensation to its extreme.

"Boom!"

Lü Yang opened his eyes.

He found it.

The call that resonated with him in the unseen realm, and the thunderous drumbeat that finally broke the silence, were none other than the heartbeat of the First Emperor!

"The Five Elements Fruit Positions of the Immortal Pivot originated from the Ancestral Dragon!"

Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Three Foundations, Five Heavenly Numbers. The Dao Lord who once held the power of the Five Elements was the Ancestral Dragon, who was later refined into the Immortal Pivot by the Four Immortal Dogs!
Therefore, if I want to attain the supreme Five Elements Emptiness, I should naturally borrow it from the Ancestral Dragon!
Normally speaking, this road is already closed.

Because under the suppression of the four dogs of the Immortal Pivot, the Ancestral Dragon was almost unable to contact the outside world. If he could not contact them, how could he possibly "borrow" their profound emptiness to prove it?
However—Lü Yang was that one in a million exception.

"Hahaha!"

Lu Yang laughed loudly. I knew that with my innate talent, how could a mere fourth True Treasure possibly stop me?
[Golden Talent: Remnant of the Ancestral Dragon]!
[Remnants of the First Emperor: Things related to the First Emperor will spontaneously gravitate towards you, bringing both opportunities and dangers; one wrong step could lead to utter destruction.]

It was under the blessing of this talent that Lü Yang was able to sense the heartbeat of the Ancestral Dragon.

Afterwards, by borrowing its great power, he was able to shatter the eggshell in one go, break through the bottleneck, and condense the true treasure—undoubtedly, this was his stroke of luck.

However, opportunities also come with risks.

I have now established contact with Zu Long.

'Ordinary people might not notice it, but in the eyes of a Great True Lord or even a Dao Lord who knows the Ancestral Dragon, it would probably be as conspicuous as a firefly in the dark.'

It's better not to look, because once you do, you'll definitely be exposed.

Given Zulong's situation, if he were exposed, the outcome would certainly not be good.

Of course, this gain was worth taking some risks.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang looked at his palm.

There, a radiant, square ruler floated silently, its surface shimmering with light, the image of the ocean surging within it.

The fourth true treasure: the Dragon-Slaying Ruler!

"Unfortunately, it's not perfect enough; it's not the Supreme [Great Ocean Water], lacking the most crucial transformation." Lü Yang turned his head and looked at the Old Dragon Lord again.

Fortunately, he already had a plan.

If the old dragon king cooperates, he may not only acquire the supreme [Great Ocean Water], but also the [Great Forest Wood] image of [Angxiao]!
