Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1044 Awakening, Shocking Change!
[The Heavenly Gate of the Path]

Inside the gloomy palace, the gatekeeper, dressed as a young military general, stared dumbfounded at the young man before him, as if he had witnessed something outrageous.

"It happened instantly. Ah."

He did exaggerate a bit in his previous description. The so-called "fasting of the mind" is definitely not something that all Great True Lords can achieve; it must be achieved by the best among the Great True Lords.

The reason for saying this was mainly to give Lü Yang some confidence, implying that it was very simple. He was already a Great True Lord, so there was definitely no problem with him succeeding. In this way, Lü Yang could be more confident and have an easier time on the final step of infusing his obsession and finding his "true self".

"But this is too easy, isn't it?"

He saw clearly.

From the moment Lü Yang condensed 129,600 mental thoughts to build the prototype of the Mind Fasting, he achieved the Great Perfection of the Mind Fasting in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!

What a joke.

The obsession and dreams that can be built into a spiritual retreat—which one doesn't require trials and tribulations, and a sufficiently intense experience to be catalyzed?

In ancient times, many cultivators did not hesitate to seal their cultivation and travel through the mortal world, enduring countless hardships in order to achieve this goal. But what about Lü Yang? He achieved it almost as soon as he thought about it. Could it be that he had been struggling in the mortal world for a long time?
He suffered a lot?

"That shouldn't be the case." Tianhu was completely baffled.

If it's the kind of hardship and suffering that can create an immense obsession in a person, it can basically break them down, making them unable to get back up, and ultimately leading to their sudden death.

After all, people really do die when they are killed.

This is why ancient cultivators chose to take a different path.

To experience the trials of the mortal world as an ordinary person is to endure hardship without truly being unable to recover; at worst, one can simply restore one's cultivation level.

Of course, there are downsides as well.

That is, there is always a way out, knowing that you will not really have nowhere to go, so the obsession that is born will often have some flaws.

Therefore, some ancient cultivators were even more ruthless, sealing away their memories as well, and thus, in the mortal world, they constantly honed themselves, moving to another place to continue their honing after death, experiencing all aspects of life, the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and not awakening until they had cultivated the obsession to build a pure heart.

But that was in ancient times.

Now that its master has been defeated and its Dharma body has collapsed, it no longer has much lifespan left for cultivators to squander, not to mention that the cultivation method of the Dao Heart has been completely severed.

That's so strange.

Tianhu scratched his head. According to his deduction, for Lü Yang to obtain enough obsession to build a Heart-Cleansing Hall, at least three conditions would need to be met:
First, he had to endure suffering that could be fatal.

Secondly, he must have no way out, or very limited way out.

In the end, he had to live.

But if the first two conditions are met, how could he still be alive? If he is alive, there must be something about the first two conditions that are not met.

But if that's the case, it's unlikely that he can completely condense his mind, at least not so quickly, not even in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, which shows that his obsession is ridiculously strong!
This is almost "crazy".

Thinking of this, Tianhu even felt a little scared, and his gaze towards Lü Yang changed slightly. He no longer dared to regard him as a junior from a later generation.

At the same time, Lü Yang also breathed a sigh of relief.

[A qualitative change in your Daoist heart has been detected.]

[You have been granted additional permissions. You can add extra criteria to the harvest selection after reopening, allowing you to more precisely select what you want.]

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain.

Lu Yang's gaze was calm, but he was quite pleased, because the option of the [Book of a Hundred Generations] could solve a hidden worry of his that had been bothering him until now.

That is the [Arctic Exorcism Institute].

'This time, I'll undoubtedly choose the treasure, since after smuggling myself across the Sea of ​​Light, the Arctic Exorcism Institute outside the Sea of ​​Light will be my foundation.'

'But what if I choose the treasure after restarting, and it just sends the [Arctic Exorcism Hall] back to me instead of leaving it outside the Sea of ​​Light? Wouldn't that be pointless? I'm not going to sneak across again; that's too much trouble and too many risks.'

'But you don't need to worry about that now.'

'With this new permission, I can simply add an extra condition when selecting treasures: choose treasures that are still outside the Light Sea.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang was immediately satisfied.

[Bai Shi Shu] truly understands me!
With this new access, my trip to the [Qi Wu Lun] has been incredibly profitable. It's just a pity I can only choose one item and can't choose a second one.
Lu Yang couldn't help but glance at Tianhu.

"hiss!"

Sensing the eager gaze from Lü Yang, the gatekeeper subconsciously took a step back, his heart filled with growing apprehension, and his tone became more respectful:
"Congratulations on your achievement, fellow Daoist." "Such a Dao heart was only comparable to Pan Huang, Emperor Ku, and Tai Zun under my master's command back then. They spent tens of thousands of years achieving this."

Lu Yang was stunned when he heard this.

so long?
Suddenly, he felt a surge of joy. It seemed his talent in cultivating the Dao Heart was actually quite good? At least stronger than his comprehension?

"Hey hey hey"

Seeing Lü Yang suddenly laugh, Tian Hun became even more frightened, feeling that the person in front of him was unpredictable and clearly not someone to be trifled with.

"Fellow Daoist, please calm down."

Tianhu couldn't help but whisper, "The cultivation of the Heart Fasting not only requires strengthening one's resolve, but also restraining it. You must not let your restless mind corrupt your Dao heart."

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I understand." Lu Yang smiled slightly upon hearing this, appearing very gentle: "I am not the kind of beast who would recklessly indulge in his obsessions."

Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper carefully examined Lü Yang and, seeing that he was indeed very calm, breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that you understand, fellow Daoist."

Even so, his apprehension deepened, because if Lü Yang could truly suppress his obsession with Xinzhai, it could only mean one thing:

'His obsession is immense!'

'The scale is so grand that he currently has no hope of even completing it, which is why he remains calm and composed. But given the chance, he would be more insane than anyone else!'

"That makes sense, though. Every cultivator who has achieved the Heart Fasting Cultivation is a person of great perseverance, determination, and obsession. It's normal for such people to be stubborn, and madness is even more common. Especially after achieving the Heart Fasting Cultivation, this obsession will be amplified. Those who can suppress it are all ruthless individuals."

Tianhu barely managed to convince himself.

Before long, he understood: "Fellow Daoist has cultivated the Heart Fasting. Now, if you go to the dark side of the Sea of ​​Light, you will surely be able to awaken all the Dharma Body Dao Great True Monarchs."

This is more important!
After all, this way he could acknowledge it as his master and leave this place. He had been sitting here for hundreds of thousands of years, and he couldn't stand it any longer.

On the other side, Lü Yang also nodded:
"give it to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he came to the portrait of the [Conquest of the Heavenly Gate Diagram] again, and with a thought, he entered the vast and boundless dark side of the sea of ​​light once more.

This time it's different.

'Of the twelve Great True Lords of the Dharma Body Dao, only three have cultivated the Fasting of the Heart like me. Although defeating them is impossible, awakening them is not a problem.'

With this thought, the dark side of the sea of ​​light shone brightly!

Boom!

The boundless light surged like a raging river, directly engulfing the twelve Dharma Body Dao True Monarchs. This time, their frenzied emotions finally changed.

"What am I?"

"what happens"

"Hmm! You didn't expect me."

The rationality belonging to Lü Yang began to extensively invade those Dharma Body Dao True Lords who had not yet cultivated the Mind Fasting, gradually awakening their consciousness from their previous lives.

Everything was going smoothly, until—

"Qiang Qiang!"

At the very bottom of the place where the consciousnesses of the twelve Dharma Body Dao Great True Monarchs converged, a loud sword cry suddenly rang out, echoing loudly in the dark side of the sea of ​​light.

Lü Yang was stunned.

This was certainly not the sword cry of the Sword Pavilion Master, otherwise he would have been dead long ago. Yet it was still incomparably sharp, carrying an overwhelming sword intent that could cut through everything.

"This is... the thirteenth consciousness?"

The reason why the consciousnesses of the twelve Dharma Body Dao Great True Lords were concentrated together was to suppress this consciousness.

Who is he?
The next second, the newly awakened Dharma Body Dao Grand True Monarchs provided the answer: "I remember now, this is the dark side of the Sea of ​​Light, and we have been awakened."

"not good!"

The first to regain consciousness was Pan Huang, who looked tense as he stared at Lü Yang and exclaimed, "This man is the Sword Lord's first disciple!"

"The three sword gods, Demon Slayer, Evil Exorcism, and Demon Subduing, have also been awakened one after another. These are persistent spirits. Fellow Daoists, quickly join us in suppressing them!"
