Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1008 The Secret of the Mysterious Spirit Realm

The Mysterious Spirit Realm is a mysterious realm of external paths.

Despite the destruction of the Dharma Body Path and the significant reduction in lifespan of all cultivators in the Sea of ​​Illusionary Light, the Xuanling Realm remained almost unaffected.

This is undoubtedly abnormal.

This strangeness piqued Xinggong's interest in the Xuanling Realm, and he even tried to investigate it. However, in the end, Xinggong still found nothing.

"Thinking about it now, this is actually not quite normal."

Because the Star Palace has a Dao Lord!
Even if the Xuanling Realm truly hides some secret, even if a True Monarch or a Great True Monarch cannot detect it, would a Dao Lord also be unable to detect it?

Of course, given the size of a Dao Lord, it's unlikely that he would personally descend to investigate an outer Dao realm. That would only attract the attention of other Dao Lords and alert them. But if Lü Yang remembered correctly, the Dao Lord of the Magic Power Dao had an enlightened body in the Star Palace, which could almost represent the Dao Lord.

Star Soul Elder.

With such a pillar of strength in place, even if the Dao Lord of the Magic Power Sect doesn't personally descend to investigate, he can still conduct a thorough search of the Xuanling Realm.

Xinggong must have done something similar.

But the result?

“Nothing was gained.” Lu Yang’s brows furrowed even more. If the Star Soul Elder, who was enlightened by the Dao Lord, could gain nothing, what was hidden in the Xuanling Realm?
Who hid it?
After leaving [Emperor Ying], Lü Yang returned to [Master Yangsheng] and then activated [Splitting Light and Shadow] again, sending out a clone into the mortal world.

The sea of ​​light is shrouded in darkness.

Lu Yang's clone stood with his hands behind his back, silently surveying this vast land that had given birth to countless realms. His clothes fluttered in the wind as he looked up at the sky.

The Void Sea of ​​Light is a very peculiar place. There is a very clear distinction between above and below. The more you are here, the more eerie you will feel, as if you are just a word or a symbol on a piece of paper, while the person above you is the one who actually writes the words.

【The Other Shore】, the Lord of the Way.

'Judging from the old Dragon Lord's recollections, back in the era when the Dao Lord resided in the world, the Dao Lord's power was far from being this exaggerated.'

Although still very strong, it is not invincible.

It was never like it is now, with a dimensional gap between the person in the painting and the artist. However, the appearance of [The Other Shore] changed everything.

The more you understand these things, the more you can feel how terrifying the Holy Ancestor was.

To conceive of a design like "The Other Shore," to put it into practice, to plan for eternity, and finally to overtake others as a latecomer and become the strongest Dao Lord.

The Holy Sect's founder was strong in far more than just strength and comprehension.

Planning and scheming, ruthless and cold-blooded—the current "Shengzong style" is nothing more than a clumsy imitation of its founder.

However, correspondingly—

'Although the Holy Sect's founder was powerful, he was not without his opponents. I think I now know who the instigator and mastermind behind the Xuanling Realm is.'

The next second, Lü Yang took a step.

While pondering, he also calculated that he had already found the coordinates of the Xuanling Realm, so he arrived there in one step and silently entered the Realm Heaven.

"It's definitely different now."

When he was still a True Lord, Lü Yang didn't sense anything unusual. However, now that he has been promoted to Great True Lord, he immediately noticed something was wrong.

But that’s all.

Although he was in the Xuanling Realm, he could sense the subtle confusion that this realm brought him, but he could not find the source of it.

"It seems that the Great True Lord of the Star Palace and the High True Lord Haoyuan have also investigated privately, but like me now, they couldn't find any clues and had to return empty-handed. This is because this realm has been locked by the person behind the scenes, locked with a lock that can only be opened by cultivators of the same lineage and origin."

Lu Yang paced back and forth, his divine sense spreading out.

[The Sermon Diagram of the Heavenly Pivot Commander]!
The weapon-refining method passed down to him by the first Demon-Taming Peak Master had already been scanned using the [Immortal Pivot Survival Guide], and as expected, it yielded no pitfalls. With this method as a reference...

Just like finding the correct route through a complex maze, this time Lü Yang found the source of the confusion without much effort.

—Deep within the Xuanling Realm.

It's like a sealed room. Lü Yang has found the entrance, but there's a lock on it that requires a key to open.

"."

After a moment of silence, Lü Yang activated the [Dongxu Jingye Jade Book], a method passed down from the Master of Butian Peak, which instantly attracted the attention of the Xuanling Realm.

Rumble!
Like a key entering the correct lock, Lü Yang successfully opened the door, and then the [Sea of ​​Bitterness] opened wide, allowing him to see the scene within.

In the very center of the boundless, imagery-filled water, a pill the size of a thumb floated, radiating a soft glow. Countless runes intertwined within the light, representing the external path of the Xuanling Realm. At first glance, it seemed unremarkable, merely an ordinary scene of the [Sea of ​​Bitterness].

However, Lü Yang laughed.

The next second, [Colorful Talent - Vajra Realm Mandala] was activated, and the [Secret Method for Creating the Small Sea of ​​Bitterness] created by the World Honored One flashed through Lü Yang's mind.

Then he saw it.

Located directly below the Xuanling Realm's fruit position, at the bottom of the [Bitter Sea], lies a secret realm, only concealed by the endless waters of imagery!

"Triple insurance: the first is the outer shell of the Xuanling Realm, the second is the position within the Xuanling Realm, and the third is this vast and boundless 'Sea of ​​Bitterness.' No wonder the Star Palace couldn't find anything. Yet, these triple insurances can be broken through the methods of three of the original four peak masters."

The identity of the person behind the scenes is self-evident.

'The First Generation Pill Refining Peak Master!'

There are three layers of insurance, but this one is missing. There is only one possibility: the first Dan Ding Peak Master is the person behind this whole process!

"Boom!"

In an instant, Lü Yang stepped into that mysterious place located below the Xuanling Realm, and a strange and wonderful scene of the boundary sky appeared before his eyes.

That's a volcano.

Inside the crater, molten lava surged, and streams of light drifted out from the rolling fire. Above, however, stood a majestic three-legged cauldron, as imposing as a mountain.

As far as the eye can see, wisps of white steam are constantly rising from the seven orifices of this precious cauldron, then forming a cloud of mist above the lid, swirling and churning. The faint sound of boiling water can also be heard coming from inside the cauldron, as if it is at a crucial moment when it is about to succeed.

But that's not all.

Aside from the precious cauldron and the many symbolic images, what's even more important is that on the cauldron's lid, beneath the clouds, there is a figure sitting cross-legged.

It was a boy with red lips and white teeth.

However, unlike ordinary cultivators, his blood and energy lacked any masculine vitality; instead, it was as cold as unmelting ice, exuding a bone-chilling coldness.

The moment Lü Yang stepped into this territory, the boy seemed to be awakened, raised his head, and looked in the direction of Lü Yang. Then, his face, which was as hard as iron and almost indistinguishable from a dead man, gradually twisted, revealing a ferocious smile mixed with wild joy.

"Hahaha! They're here! They've finally arrived!"

"Master didn't lie to me. As long as the final ingredient is sent into the alchemy furnace and the elixir is born, I can be resurrected and live another life!"

Before he finished speaking, the boy's aura suddenly erupted!

In an instant, the temperature in the volcanic secret realm, which should have been scorching hot, plummeted. Frost even appeared around the boy, instantly freezing over, and a layer of pitch-black ink appeared on top.

The aura of malevolence, decay, and annihilation—Lu Yang recognized the boy's state immediately, and couldn't help but show surprise:
"Necromancer?"

Indeed, the boy before them was a spirit that should only exist in the depths of the underworld!
