Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1113: Driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf
What exactly is the relationship between the First Sage and the Ancestral Dragon?

After he finished speaking, both Lü Yang and the World Honored One fell into a brief silence. The atmosphere froze for a moment. After a long while, the World Honored One spoke in a low, melancholic tone:

"Are you saying they're in a cooperative relationship?"

Lu Yang asked with a serious expression, "Is that possible?"

This conjecture will directly lead to a serious consequence, because of the Ancestral Dragon's Legacy! The plans of the first Dan Ding Peak Master were almost inseparable from the support of this item.

If the First Dragon and the First Saint were in a cooperative relationship.

That can only mean that the Nascent Soul Pill plan was exposed from the very beginning, and it is even possible that it was a plan deliberately orchestrated by the First Saint through the Ancestral Dragon.

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

Faced with Lü Yang's question, the World Honored One did not answer immediately, but instead frowned and fell into a long silence before finally relaxing his brows:
"Not too possible."

"You don't understand the power of the Ancestral Dragon. If you add a Primordial Saint to the mix, they could have swept across the Sea of ​​Light back then, and no one could have stopped them."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang asked with some curiosity, "Just how strong is the Ancestral Dragon?"

"How strong?" The World Honored One smiled: "Before the establishment of the Other Shore, as long as one could remain at the Golden Core stage, one was a Dao Lord in the usual sense."

"However, the First Emperor was different."

"By today's standards, even in the era before the [Other Shore] was born, the Ancestral Dragon's strength was comparable to that of the current Dao Lord!"

Such a stark contrast immediately made Lü Yang realize the power of the Ancestral Dragon; it was a difference in level. He even subconsciously retorted, "If that's the case, how could Si Chong withstand a hundred moves from him without being defeated? How could the Dao Lords, working together, possibly suppress and seal him?"

Doesn't this confirm that there's a problem?

However, the World Honored One shook his head: "No, although the Ancestral Dragon is very powerful, there are also strong Dao Lords who are slightly superior to ordinary Dao Lords."

Lü Yang immediately understood:

'The First Saint and the God of Spirits.'

One is a technical expert, the other a numbers-based expert. The former excels in skillful combat, while the latter has higher overall skill level, but the latter's expertise is definitely more valuable.

The next second, the World Honored One overturned Lü Yang's idea:
"Moreover, do you think that [The Other Shore] was established after the death of the First Dragon?"

“Uh, no?” Lu Yang was surprised.

"of course not."

The World Honored One shook his head: "The establishment of [The Other Shore] took place during the great war with the Ancestral Dragon. While weakening the Ancestral Dragon, the establishment of [The Other Shore] was started simultaneously."

"At the beginning, Si Chong bore the brunt of the Ancestral Dragon's wrath and was the most seriously injured. The entire battle almost collapsed until the First Saint created the prototype of [The Other Shore] and improved his status in a short period of time, which allowed him to repel the Ancestral Dragon. Then came a long battle that was almost eternal."

"The gains and losses of both sides are relative."

"Until the very end, [The Other Shore] grew stronger and stronger, and finally completely suppressed the Ancestral Dragon. The process was absolutely flawless, and there was no sign of any holding back."

"Thanks to this, after the death of the First Emperor, the damage to the Other Shore was also very severe."

"Although each Dao Lord can ascend to the [Other Shore], they will not be able to hold on for long and will need a long time to repair and adjust."

"But it just so happened during that period."

Without needing further explanation from the World Honored One, Lü Yang already understood: "The war between the Dao Lords has broken out."

The Buddha nodded: "That's right. Otherwise, if Si Chong were to ascend to the Other Shore, even this indirect form of killing wouldn't be possible."

At this point, Lü Yang's curiosity was piqued again:
"Do you know the reason why the war between Dao Lords broke out, Senior Brother?"

The World Honored One shook his head: "Strangely enough, that great battle was not caused by the First Saint, but by the Lord of Slaughter. So I don't know the cause."

"However, judging from the outcome of that battle and the strength of the Ancestral Dragon, the probability of the First Saint cooperating with the Ancestral Dragon is very low. After all, the Ancestral Dragon's current miserable state cannot be hidden. His Five Elements are sealed and his physical body is suppressed. If it were to cooperate, he would have to gain something. So where would the Ancestral Dragon's gain be?"

Lu Yang nodded after listening, finding it reasonable. "But senior brother, if it's not a collaboration, then what do you think the relationship should be? The suspicions surrounding True Monarch Biluo Fuguang still exist."

"Drive away the tiger to devour the wolf."

After a moment of silence, the Buddha offered his deduction:

"Even if that Biluo Fuguang Zhenjun is indeed the former Cangjiang Dragon Lord who devoured his other brothers and can guide the Ancestral Dragon, don't forget."

"He's a ghost!"

"Once a necromancer, then he will always be a necromancer. As a necromancer, if he draws out the consciousness of the Ancestral Dragon, he will only turn the Ancestral Dragon into one of the necromancers as well."

"Given the Ancestral Dragon's status as a born Dao God, it would never be subject to the control of demon tamers. Therefore, its choice is easy to guess: to turn the tables and seize control of the Underworld. Only in this way can it have enough power to rescue its physical body and the Great Dao of the Five Elements. This is an irreconcilable contradiction!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang's eyes lit up slightly.

The wisdom that belonged to the first Demon-Taming Peak Master was ignited in his eyes, and he began to rapidly deduce the World Honored One's inferences, quickly arriving at the corresponding conclusions:
"Indeed!"

"Does Senior Brother mean that True Monarch Biluo Fuguang and [Angxiao] were previously positioned in the same way, both being a backup plan used to destroy the Underworld?"

"good."

The World-Honored One smiled and said, "I know very well the methods of the First Saint. He never puts all his eggs in one basket, and he certainly doesn't place his hopes on a mere cultivator."

"Therefore, he must have a backup plan to ensure that even if [Angxiao] has a problem, he can still deal with the Underworld. That Biluo Fuguang Zhenjun, or rather, the Ancestral Dragon, should be his means. However, the hidden danger of releasing the Ancestral Dragon's primordial spirit is too great, so he has not used it yet."

"Otherwise, why wait until today?"

"As far as I know, True Lord Biluo Fuguang had already devoured other Dragon Lords a long time ago. If he wanted to release the Ancestral Dragon, the First Saint could have released it long ago."

"If that were true, the Ancestral Dragon would have already taken control of the Underworld, and the Underworld wouldn't have been able to withstand the awakening of the demons. This shows that the First Saint was actually just as wary of the Ancestral Dragon."

"That's true, but..."

At this point, Lü Yang lowered his eyelids and his expression turned gloomy: "Given the current situation in the Underworld, releasing the Ancestral Dragon's primordial spirit probably won't be as risky?"

With the awakening of the demons, the underworld has become even more fortified.

The more solid it is, the more suitable it is for the Ancestral Dragon's primordial spirit to come in and cause damage. What a brilliant move to use one tiger to devour another! The Holy Sect's patriarch didn't even need to take action himself!

Suddenly, the Buddha looked up.

The next second, his gaze seemed to connect with the original body located on the [Other Shore], and then, through the unity of all, he looked towards the Underworld.

The Underworld, the Three Lives Stone.

The colors of darkness accumulated here, converging into a dark, flowing light, upon which the gray-white stone tablet stood as if it had stood forever.

The young man strolled over, his feet tracing the calm surface of the lake, yet his steps created ripples, like a flowing ink mark, like a dragon, until he reached the front of the stone tablet, where he finally stopped, revealing a handsome face and molten gold pupils.

It was none other than [True Lord Biluo Fuguang].

At this moment, the Three Lives Stone also shines with brilliance.

The young man's gaze fell on the stone tablet, and in a daze, he seemed to see his past and present lives, with countless images slowly passing through his eyes like flowing water.

"Kacha!"

With a crisp sound, as if glass had shattered, countless cracks appeared in the youth's pupils, and faintly, five-colored light seemed to surge within the cracks.

At the same time, a voice quietly rang out.

So subtle as to be almost inaudible, as if falling from an infinite height, ethereal as a fairy, carrying a smile and composure: "Fellow Daoist, return soon."
