Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1094 What Happened Back Then

After listening to the boy's description, Lü Yang lowered his eyelids, but thought of something else: No wonder the first Dan Ding Peak Master ultimately chose to die willingly.

Because if he and the first generation of the Heaven-Mending Peak Master both advanced to the Heaven-Stepping Realm through the ancestral dragon's promotion, it would inevitably cause a large-scale upheaval in the Five Elements.

But the timing was wrong.

At that time, the first Dan Ding Peak Master's plan had not yet begun, and the first Demon Taming Peak Master was still asleep in the Underworld. The World Honored One was left to fend for himself alone.

The instability of the Five Elements meant that even if the Holy Sect's patriarch was careless, he would definitely know that the seal had malfunctioned. The methods of the first generation of the Heaven-Mending Peak Master were barely enough to conceal the Holy Sect's patriarch's true intentions. Once the other party discovered something was wrong and investigated seriously, it would be impossible to hide it from him.

The inevitable result will be exposure.

At that time, neither the first generation of the Heaven-Mending Peak Master nor the first generation of the Pill Cauldron Peak Master will survive; they will inevitably be reduced to ashes by the Holy Sect's ancestor.

So at least one person has to die.

If there were only one cultivator at the Heavenly Realm, the Five Elements Dao would not be in turmoil, and naturally, it would not have attracted the Holy Sect's patriarch's strict defense.

That's really true.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang was somewhat dazed and confused: his senior brother sacrificed himself for his junior brother, facing death with equanimity, and this was the Holy Sect.

On the other side, the young man sighed softly, the admiration and smile on his face gradually fading, clearly also thinking about the choice of the first Dan Ding Peak Master.

“Brother Dan Ding, this is exactly what he wanted. Brother Butian’s cultivation of vital energy could not be accomplished overnight. He must have sensed the changes in the Five Elements through the Ancestral Dragon’s legacy and guessed that it was Brother Butian’s doing. In addition, he wanted to die anyway, so he chose to fulfill his wish.”

At this point, the boy suddenly paused:

"No, that's not right."

"It should be the other way around. It was precisely because he knew about Senior Brother Butian's plan that he changed his plan and meticulously designed his own death."

Why is the Nascent Soul Pill so important?
If possible, how could the first Dan Ding Peak Master not want to personally take charge of the refining process, and how could he not want to live to see the plan implemented?
But he can't.

The young man lowered his brows and murmured, "The Nascent Soul Pill doesn't need me. Anyway, there are junior brothers in the Underworld who can fill in the gaps."

"But it won't work on patching up the sky."

"Damn it, they didn't even tell me before they did it."

"Fine, let's change the plan. You shameless pervert, I saved your life this time. You'll have to thank me properly when you get out."

The sound stopped abruptly, and the boy closed his eyes.

On the other side, Lü Yang stood with his hands clasped and remained silent. Whether this was the original thought of the first Dan Ding Peak Master is now unknown.

In fact, after taking over the identity of [Dan Ding], he tried to use [Mysterious Cause and Strange Fruit] to see if he could pull out the karmic shadow of the first Dan Ding Peak Master. Unfortunately, this person died too thoroughly, personally killed by the Holy Sect Ancestor, so there was not a trace of karma that could be retrieved.

After a long while, the first Demon-Taming Peak Master finally opened his eyes again.

Wisps of mist evaporated from his eyes and drifted away, like a giant hand erasing all the gentle tranquility that once resided there.

All that remained was murderous intent and resolute determination.

"【The Alchemy Cauldron】, I can't wait any longer."

"From Luofu Mountain, Xuan Yuan, a practitioner of magic in the mortal world, has sent word that he wants the three foundational cultivators to launch a major battle against the cave-heaven magic cultivators."

"Just now."

"Once the Nascent Soul Pill is activated, you will inevitably face enemies from all corners of the underworld. It's always good to take this opportunity to clean up some of the demons and monsters first."

'They've been provoked.'

Looking at the young man before him, Lü Yang naturally wouldn't refuse, but out of doubt, he mustered his courage and asked, "Senior, can't you take action yourself?"

The boy shook his head: "Master has been keeping an eye on the Underworld. If I were to take action myself, I could certainly wipe out the Underworld in an instant, but that would inevitably expose my aura outside the [Netherworld Lord's Palace]. Even if it's just for a moment, it would be enough for Master to pinpoint my true location."

"This is detrimental to my next move." "After all, some things, if they can't bypass the gaze of [Destiny] and be done in the shadows, won't have the effect of achieving a surprise victory."

At this point, he glanced at Lü Yang again:
That's why I said you did a good job.

"Both Beifeng Mountain and Baodu Mountain fell in one battle, and four Great True Lords died, one of whom was an incarnation of that foolish Emperor Cang."

"This caused him quite a bit of trouble."

"What's even better is that you also destroyed the [Ten Thousand Refinement Blood Pool]. Without this treasure, even if his external avatar is reconstituted, his cultivation level will drop."

"That's why we're launching this attack now."

"Otherwise, if that fool is given more time to recuperate, he might be able to find a substitute and reassemble the three immortal bridge avatars, adding many variables."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang had not yet spoken.

Suddenly, a stream of light flew out from between his eyebrows, and then manifested as a figure with a nervous expression. It was Tianhu, dressed as a young military general.

"Greetings, Lord Demon Tamer."

As soon as the gatekeeper appeared, he immediately knelt down and respectfully asked, "May I ask, sir, do you know how my master was murdered back then?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang immediately raised an eyebrow.

Good question!

He was also very curious about why Di Cang betrayed Si Chong, and how he helped the Holy Sect's founder to make the final decision and completely kill Si Chong.

However, the boy shook his head upon hearing this:

"I'm sorry, I don't know the details of what happened back then either. The war between the Dao Lords disrupted the cause and effect and obscured everything. I'm afraid only those who experienced it firsthand can know the truth."

"If you really want to know, perhaps you can only ask Di Cang, or go to the Grandmaster, who should have some relevant clues."

Grandmaster?
Upon hearing this, Lü Yang hurriedly asked, "Is it the sixth [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man]?"

The boy wasn't surprised; instead, he laughed and said, "It seems you've already been to most of them?"

Lü Yang nodded and said, "I've been to all the places except for the Grandmaster and the Free and Unfettered Journey. I heard that the Free and Unfettered Journey was put into the Underworld."

"Indeed."

The young man nodded slightly: "I used the [Free and Easy Wandering] as the foundation of the [Netherworld Lord's Palace], and I used up all the rewards inside."

After saying that, he pointed to the ground below: "The materials used for the entire [Four Directions Ghost Realm] are comparable to the source jade of the continent. This is the reward for [Free and Easy Wandering]. I estimate that it should be the second largest in the Light Sea. The largest one was used to build [The Other Shore]. The rest are just broken fragments."

"As for the Grandmaster..."

At this point, the young man frowned, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "This area has been under Master's control, and no one has ever been able to enter it until now."

"I had my doubts back then too."

"Whether it's my senior brothers' alchemy, weapon crafting, dual cultivation, or my demon-taming, although they were all proven by our master, I suspect there are other lineages."

"That legacy might just be the Grandmaster level."

"Master received the legacy of his predecessors inside, which is why he was able to realize those great Daos. Master's pursuit of transcendence must also be because he discovered something."

"However, I have no idea what it is exactly."

"Including the truth about Lord Si Chong's death, the reason I said that the Grandmaster has clues is because the result of the Dao Lord's fall is too incredible."

"I have absolutely no idea how he did it."

"Just as he proved those great principles out of thin air without relying on external objects, they can only be attributed to one reason: the secret hidden by the Grandmaster."
