Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1108 The Secret of the Nascent Soul Pill
To be honest, Lü Yang was quite confident about this life, thinking that his own camp was full of talented people and might really open the eyes of the First Saint.

However, now he felt a little guilty.

'Something doesn't seem right.'

'The First Sage may not know the details of the First Heaven-Mending Peak Master and the First Pill-Cauldron Peak Master's plans, but he might certainly know their objectives!'

Because the Buddha is there.

'With the World Honored One's interests at stake, the bonds of brotherhood among the disciples severely limit the choices of the other three peak masters; they can only target [The Other Shore].'

Was this intentionally designed?

Lu Yang thought it was very likely that, relatively speaking, the most cunning and ruthless World Honored One stood at the highest position, while the compassionate and righteous ones were placed below.

"Imagine if the World Honored One were standing below, and any one of the Pill Cauldron, the Heaven-Mending Technique, or the Demon-Taming Technique became a Dao Lord. Would the World Honored One choose to deal with the 'Other Shore' for the sake of the other's benefit? Possibly, but not necessarily! Compared to the interests of others, the World Honored One is very likely to care more about himself!"

In this way, a variable emerges.

But now that the Buddha is standing on top and everyone else is below, the situation changes. This variable is eliminated, and everything makes sense.

They are all on the other side!
In an instant, Lü Yang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave: 'The plans and goals of the first four peak masters have all been led to the other side under this scheme!'

has a problem!
"Senior, something's not right!"

Upon realizing this, Lü Yang immediately looked at the young man before him and hurriedly stated his guess: "There's still a problem with the seal on the Ancestral Dragon!"

"Saving the Ancestral Dragon and causing the collapse of the Other Shore may not necessarily lead to success."

"On the contrary, it might just be playing right into their hands!"

The boy did not refute what he heard, but listened very attentively to Lü Yang's account. After a moment's thought, he revealed an expression of admiration:

"Wow! You are amazing."

"That's certainly a possibility. But what's the problem? Would destroying the Other Shore actually benefit Master?"

"Uh."

Lu Yang was taken aback upon hearing this, then shook his head. There was no benefit to it, at least he couldn't think of any, and his experience from his previous life had also proven this point.

'If the collapse of the Other Shore actually benefits the Holy Sect's patriarch, why would he lower himself to intervene? He could have simply watched it happen. But my deduction can't be wrong; these four meticulously planned fellow disciples must be of great use to the Holy Sect's patriarch.'

It's completely unpredictable.

The more you know, the more mysteries you encounter. Just like the so-called Dao Lord, the closer you get to this realm, the more you can feel its grandeur and remoteness.

"Stop thinking so much."

Seeing this, the boy smiled: "It's all about human effort. How will you know the outcome if you don't try? You always have to give it a shot first."

After saying that, he reached out and beckoned.

The next second, the golden book formed from the ancestral dragon's legacy floated up and landed in Lü Yang's hand, where complex incantations quickly appeared.

"This is the formula for the Nascent Soul Pill."

Lü Yang immediately took a deep breath.

'That's true. I have so many lifetimes to try and fail. There's no need to obsess over succeeding in this one. As long as I can see more, that's enough.'

Thinking about this, he calmed down.

Looking at the prescription in his hand, Lü Yang carefully read through it, and the young man beside him thoughtfully shared his wisdom with him again.

Thanks to this, Lü Yang understood.

'So that's how it is.'

What is Yuan Ying Dan?
He had many guesses about it. He once suspected it was an elixir that could help one break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but later thought it might be a bomb specifically designed to destroy the Nascent Soul stage.

But now he understood: 'The answer was actually in the mystery all along; the cultivation method passed down from the first Dan Ding Peak Master, as clearly stated in the [Golden Elixir Rejuvenation Diagram]!'

The "Illustrated Evidence of the Golden Elixir" primarily aims to bring things to a "perfect" state.

The same applies to the Nascent Soul Pill.

'The so-called Nascent Soul Pill isn't actually for humans to eat, but for the [Other Shore]! It's to make the [Other Shore] even more perfect!'

It sounds like nothing but good things.

However, another meaning of perfection is "unable to go any further," because the current state is flawless, so there is no room for further progress.

Similarly, once the Nascent Soul Pill is consumed, the state of the [Other Shore] will be completely anchored. The Dao Lord will no longer be able to climb higher, and their realm will no longer change. More importantly, the Holy Sect Ancestor, who is at the pinnacle, will also be forever locked at the highest level of the [Other Shore]!

This is the original plan of the first Dan Ding Peak Master!

Locking down [The Other Shore] prevents the Holy Sect's patriarch from advancing any further. You may still be the strongest, but it's useless; you'll never be able to improve in this lifetime.

Want to transcend? Dream on!

'The Holy Sect's patriarch would never allow such a thing to happen, but by then the Nascent Soul Pill will have already fused with the [Other Shore], making it impossible to extract.'

Then there's only one way.

Destroy the other shore.

With the Holy Sect's patriarch personally taking action, the Other Shore was destroyed and rebuilt—and once he did so, it would inevitably provoke fierce resistance from other Dao Lords!
'After all, not all Dao Lords mind this kind of thing.'

'At least those two from the Sword Pavilion and the Dao Court aren't like that; they have the Heavenly Dao to rely on, so this kind of thing is completely irrelevant to them.'

'But discussing the collapse of the "Other Shore" is another matter entirely.'

'Therefore, the first Dan Ding Peak Master's plan was to have the Holy Sect's ancestor personally destroy the [Other Shore], and thus incite a fierce battle with the other Dao Lords!'

What a ruthless means!
Moreover, their audacity was unbelievable. With just one Nascent Soul Pill, they managed to scheme against almost all the Dao Lords, not just to deal with the Holy Sect's patriarch!

Thinking of this, Lü Yang was startled:
"This prescription must never be seen by anyone else!"

Such an audacious plan, once discovered and exposed by others, would inevitably make the target of public criticism, and would have absolutely no chance of success.

Therefore—packaging is necessary.

"On the surface, the Nascent Soul Pill can't have this effect; it must be changed to one that everyone can accept and consider reasonable."

But what should we replace it with?

Lu Yang was somewhat troubled. He was absolutely adept at scheming and plotting, but when it came to things related to cultivation and requiring spiritual power, he was completely at a loss.

Therefore, he could only look at the boy again and repeat his thoughts.

Little did they know, the first Demon-Taming Peak Master was thinking the same thing. He was never afraid when it came to matters of cultivation, but he was not good at scheming and trickery.

'Brother Wanbao has truly sent me a great helper.'

With him filling in the gaps and making corrections, many things become more manageable.

After listening to Lü Yang's story, the young man thought for a moment and then chuckled, "In this regard, you might be able to find a way through the Dao Lord of Magic Power."

"The Lord of Magic Power?"

"Yes."

The young man nodded and said, "After all, among all the Dao Lords of this era, he is the most special one. Because he did not break through to the Heavenly Realm back then."

"Back then, he took a risky gamble in the Immortal Bridge Realm, and unexpectedly succeeded!"
