Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1031 The Secret of the Pomegranate Wood
[The Master of Nourishing Life].

Lu Yang was naturally unaware of the content of the conversation between the World Honored One and Angxiao, but he could guess it, since he had long known that the two had a close relationship.

He was pleased to see this.

"With Angxiao's cultivation and strength, and with the World Honored One's assistance, I believe he will definitely accomplish something even more significant than I have when he goes to face his tribulation."

'Go ahead and stir it all up.'

'By disrupting the Immortal Pivot, collapsing the Other Shore, drawing the attention of all Dao Lords, and destroying the Sea of ​​Light, I can then secretly cross over to the outside of the Sea of ​​Light.'

Thinking of this, he immediately shifted his gaze.

"Ao Guang".

Before he finished speaking, the old dragon king came running over, bowed and said, "This little dragon is here. Congratulations, Your Excellency, on your boundless supernatural powers and long life."

With the old dragon king's keen eyesight, he was naturally acutely aware of the changes in Lü Yang. Moreover, with the [Northern Exorcism Academy] right there, and Lü Yang making no attempt to conceal it, how could he not see: 'The supreme treasure, the Immortal Bridge—this lord has already stepped one foot onto the Immortal Bridge!'

The reason it's only half a foot isn't because of a lack of cultivation.

It's because they have connections in higher places.

Such cultivation would be considered exceptional even in the distant Golden Age. If one were to advance further, one might even be able to discuss the Dao with the Dao Lord who resides in this world.

Thinking of this, the old dragon king lowered his head even further.

On the other side, Lü Yang didn't care about his attitude. He just casually gave a few instructions and then reached out and touched Tian Qiu's face next to him.

"Aww!!"

Not far away, Tianqiu, who had just attained the [Heavenly River Water] level, never expected that this adult, whom even his father had to deal with carefully, would actually attack him.

By the time he realized what was happening, Lü Yang's hand had already brushed across his face, a thin layer of misty light reflecting into his mind, as if wiping away a stain.

When the old dragon king looked over, Tianqiu was already drooling. All memories related to the [Master of Nourishing Life] had been wiped clean by Lü Yang. This was out of caution, after all, Tianqiu had a history of betrayal in his previous life in [Angxiao] when he was in the Underworld, so he had to be on guard.

"Ao Guang, send him out."

Lu Yang waved his hand, and the old dragon king immediately understood. He pulled Tianqiu away quietly, leaving Mu Changsheng behind with a look of unease.

I wanted to ask, but I didn't dare to speak.

They had no choice but to lower their heads and stand obediently in place.

After much deliberation, Lü Yang used his divine sense to inscribe a cultivation technique and handed it to him. The cover page clearly read: 【Heavenly Language Blazing Dragon Chapter】!
'[Heavenly Fire]?'

Mu Changsheng was stunned for a moment, but then the adult on the platform said in a low voice, "If you want to cultivate this method to seek gold, I can help you. You have a 40% chance of getting the desired result."

To be honest, Lü Yang originally wanted to imitate [Angxiao] and combine his previous experience in proving [Heavenly Fire] to create a set of techniques for Mu Changsheng to further improve his chances of obtaining gold. However, when he tried it just now, it was not exactly a piece of cake, but at least he had no clue what to do.

'Never mind, it's unnecessary.'

'Anyway, the [Heavenly Language and Radiant Dragon Chapter] is enough. Too much of a good thing can be bad. If we give him too much of a chance to succeed, it might arouse the Dao Lord's suspicion.'

Besides, I don't really care whether he succeeds in getting the money.

'As long as there seems to be hope, that's enough. Just like in my past life, the Four Immortal Dogs will naturally make their move. In this game of strategy, I just need to remain hidden in the shadows.'

Too much intervention can easily lead to mistakes.

That's right, it's definitely not because I can't create a better technique.

Lü Yang quickly convinced himself.

"Thank you for bestowing this method upon me, sir!"

Mu Changsheng knelt down to express his gratitude on the spot. He had no idea about the background of the "Heavenly Fire," only that it was a supreme secret manual that could help one attain the highest status.

This is an incredible opportunity! Thinking of this, Mu Changsheng became even more excited. He respectfully accepted the [Heavenly Language Blazing Dragon Chapter], and after reading it briefly, he felt that it was full of profound mysteries.

After a long while, he composed himself, stood up, and said in a low voice, "I am deeply grateful for your kindness, sir, and am willing to serve you faithfully."

These words sound nice, but to Lü Yang they amounted to nothing more than six words:

What's the cost?

The supreme position, such an immense opportunity, could never be given away for free. Mu Changsheng knew in his heart that there must be a huge price to pay behind it.

Lu Yang smiled slightly upon hearing this: "The time is not right."

Before he finished speaking, a hazy light appeared on Mu Changsheng's face, but he did not treat Tianqiu with the same roughness. Instead, he manipulated it carefully for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, Lü Yang carefully checked it again. Unlike Tian Qiu, he only concealed part of Mu Changsheng's memories and replaced his own existence with that of the Old Dragon Lord, just so that Mu Changsheng's motivation for seeking [Heavenly Fire] could form a logical closed loop and withstand the scrutiny of the Dao Lord.

After doing all this, he also threw Mu Changsheng out of the [Master of Nourishing Life].

That concludes the strategy for dealing with [Heavenly Fire].

'Any more, and the Dao Lord will easily discover something amiss. I've managed to survive this long in this life; once exposed, my smuggling will become much more complicated.'

Stand up.

Lu Yang floated upwards, and in the empty [Master of Nourishing Life], only the books on fruit positions were suspended. He walked upwards and finally stopped in front of a bookshelf.

One of the books came into view.

【Pomegranate wood】.

Ever since learning about the special nature of the pomegranate wood, Lü Yang had wanted to consult this book, but he hadn't had a suitable opportunity until now.

Now is just right.

'The first generation of four peak masters, who raised demons and built the Underworld, the master of ten thousand treasures who proved his Dao, and whose alchemy cauldron even had the formidable ability to produce Nascent Soul pills—what about the first generation of the Heaven-Mending Peak Master? What did she possess?'

Lu Yang's thoughts couldn't help but drift to the unforgettable Butian Peak, where the first Butian Peak Master, Butian Que, left a deep impression on him. Compared to the benevolent demon-taming man, the ruthless alchemist, and the wicked World Honored One, Butian Que seemed more like a purebred cultivator from the Holy Sect.

He's still a little intimidated by that ability to transform between men and women, and to travel between heaven and earth.

'Let me see what secrets you have.'

Holding the book of fruit-ranking fruits made of pomegranate wood, Lü Yang examined it carefully: 'Pomegranate wood, in my past life as an immortal, was definitely a highly sought-after commodity.'

'Back then, the World-Honored One came to enlighten me, and I didn't think much of it at the time. But now it seems the World-Honored One must have known about the connection between the pomegranate wood and the first Master of the Heaven-Mending Peak. Could he really have come to help me? No, impossible. It must be that the World-Honored One from a previous life hadn't completely cleansed himself of his defilements.'

Lü Yang quickly shook his head, clearing his mind.

Immediately afterwards, he took the [Divination Golden Book], and with his divine sense, he created the Eight Trigrams. The [North Pole Exorcism Hall] hung high, cascading down with magnificent radiance like a waterfall.

'I created the "Great Void Response Manual" to allow lower cultivators to sense the "Northern Exorcism Institute."'

'Based on this, with just a few minor modifications, I can still use the book of fruition to sense the [Pomegranate Wood]; it's a natural progression.'

'With this sensory connection, one can divine.'

'And since I am within the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man], I don't need to worry about being discovered by the Dao Lord for doing this.'

Lu Yang frowned, the Bagua diagrams swirling in his palm, the Five Elements shifting, as if he wanted to use it to divine the [Pomegranate Wood] and deduce the secrets of the first generation of the Heaven-Mending Peak Master!
What is the purpose of filling a position of authority?

'【Pomegranate Wood】is neither a supreme fruit nor related to destiny, yet it has kept the Holy Sect's patriarch closely watching you. What exactly did you do?'

Lu Yang thought in his heart.

Unbeknownst to him, his mind seemed to have arrived at the surface of an endless abyss, gradually sinking into the bottom where he could not see his own hand in front of his face.
