Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1123 The True Meaning of the Other Shore!
Above the Other Shore, the voice of the First Sage resounded, carrying laughter and certainty, as if he had already foreseen the inevitable outcome of this battle for the Dao.

[The Path of Demon Taming. Is this the path used to enslave the Ancestral Dragon?]

[How is that possible? Born a Dao God, possessing a primordial spirit and Dao heart, what could possibly enslave him?]

The World Honored One is most qualified to speak on this point, since the unity of all people is the most powerful enslavement technique of the Sea of ​​Light, but this is also a method based on the Dao heart.

With the World Honored One's primordial spirit and Dao heart, he could easily convert cultivators who had not cultivated their Dao heart. However, once they had their Dao heart, it would take time. The most troublesome thing was to perfect their Dao heart. If they had cultivated the Heart Fasting, it would take even longer to hone their skills. As for the primordial spirit, there was no possibility of converting them.

So his first reaction was "impossible".

However, after thinking it over, he had some doubts and couldn't help but glance at the Underworld, because the Demon Taming Path was once the Great Dao under the control of Dao Tianqi.

Guanghai's exceptional comprehension is no exaggeration.

With him in charge, who knows what new tricks the Demon Taming Path will come up with? Even if it can bypass the limitations of the primordial spirit, the World Honored One wouldn't be too surprised.

However, he soon received a response:
"not my business."

Inside the Palace of the Netherworld Lord, Dao Tianqi slowly walked out of the palace, with Lü Yang following closely behind him, his eyes filled with an almost tangible light of wisdom.

Dao Tianqi was not good at scheming and plotting, but the current situation was clearly the first sage's unprecedented plan. Therefore, after Lü Yang exposed the identity swap between the Ancestral Dragon and the Cangjiang Dragon Lord, Dao Tianqi took him by his side to serve as his eyes and ears, to help him strategize and deduce the first sage's plan.

Even Huiguang and Daotianqi generously shared it.

Thanks to this, when Lü Yang understood the imagery of the "Demon Taming Path" and combined it with the information he already possessed, a terrifying guess formed in his mind:

"It is the other shore."

Lu Yang said in a low voice, "The primordial spirit of the Ancestral Dragon was not enslaved by the First Saint alone; all the Dao Lords on the Other Shore were his accomplices!"

Dao Tianqi immediately relayed the message.

Meanwhile, on the other side, there was already a disturbance in the energy, because before Lü Yang even spoke, a Dao Lord had already reacted.

"The original demon-taming methods are not enough."

"Because Dao Tianqi discovered something was wrong, he did not cultivate this path deeply, otherwise the Dao Lords on the [Other Shore] would have been enslaved by the First Saint long ago."

"Therefore, the First Sage could only settle for second best and instead borrow the status and power of all the Dao Lords on the Other Shore to enslave the suppressed Ancestral Dragon. That's right, the Ancestral Dragon and the First Sage were not in a cooperative relationship. The great battle that suppressed the Ancestral Dragon back then was indeed a real and bloody battle."

"But the problem is what happens after the suppression."

"With the help of the Dao Lords to reach the Other Shore, the First Saint successfully enslaved the Ancestral Dragon. From this point on, the Ancestral Dragon and the First Saint can be regarded as one person."

As for the methods of enslavement

Rumble!
As if in response to Lü Yang's words, the vast "Other Shore" has become increasingly clear and distinct, no longer merely manifesting in the world as a mountain.

Especially after receiving Dao Tianqi's help, Lü Yang saw things more clearly.

What exactly is the other shore?
At the very bottom, Lü Yang saw its foundation, a crystal-like avenue flowing with five-colored light, standing beneath the [Other Shore].

One end supports the other shore, the other connects to the sea of ​​suffering.

Lu Yang could see clearly that it was the sealed Great Dao of the Five Elements, and at the end of the Great Dao was a chaotic sea containing infinite colors.

Above the Chaotic Sea lies the divine mountain formed from the [Other Shore].

Then the question comes:

What is the Chaos Sea above the Five Elements?

Lu Yang had caught a glimpse of this scene when he first explored the Five Elements, but he didn't discover its secrets at the time.

During his second attempt to probe the Five Elements, his attention was focused on the Five Elements themselves, without carefully examining the chaotic sea directly above them. He even initially mistook it for the Sea of ​​Bitterness. But now, he realized he was wrong; that chaotic sea was—

'It's the sea of ​​consciousness!'

Above the Five Elements, the Chaos Sea, which lies between the Other Shore and the Five Elements, is essentially a sea of ​​consciousness, and specifically, the sea of ​​consciousness of the Ancestral Dragon!

"This is the truth!"

"Facing the [Other Shore], the first thing to be affected is none other than the Ancestral Dragon's sea of ​​consciousness. It was with this that the First Saint completely enslaved the Ancestral Dragon's primordial spirit!"

The heavier the "Other Shore," the greater the oppression on the present world, and the stronger the enslavement of the Ancestral Dragon! Therefore, every Dao Lord is essentially an accomplice of the First Saint. Every step they take on the "Other Shore" is helping the First Saint enslave the Ancestral Dragon!
However, frustratingly—

"So what?"

Above the Other Shore, a figure so small as to be almost invisible, located on the sixth floor, chuckled: "You may leave the Other Shore."

How can it be!

The Other Shore is the foundation upon which all Dao Lords stand. Now, for the sake of their own path, leaving the Other Shore is simply the only option.

An unsolvable dilemma!

His style was completely that of a primordial saint. He used irresistible benefits to control everyone, which is why he was invincible and stood at the very top of the Sea of ​​Light!

However, at that moment, the Buddha spoke:

"Actually, there are still flaws."

His eyes were cold as he said indifferently, "It is not you who enslaves the Ancestral Dragon, but [The Other Shore]. You can control it only because you have gone the furthest."

Because the First Saint stands at the highest point of the Other Shore, he is able to enslave the Ancestral Dragon through the Other Shore. However, if someone can go further than him, or even just stand on the same level, the so-called enslavement of the Ancestral Dragon will have flaws.

"So you must kill Si Chong."

"Because if Si Chong were to ascend to the Other Shore, he might reach even greater heights than you, and given his character, he would never choose to enslave the Ancestral Dragon."

The Buddha's words resounded loudly.

In response, the First Sage only used a few simple words:
"So he died."

After saying that, the tiny figure at the top glanced at the somewhat restless Sword Lord and Cang Hao, and laughed, "Besides, it's too late."

"Even if Si Chong comes back to life now, it will be too late."

"The destiny, fate, and fixed number have already been gathered. When the Five Elements are unsealed, the greatest variable in history will be born."

"The calamity has already responded to the First Emperor."

"All five celestial numbers are present, governed by the Five Elements."

"Now is the time for Nascent Soul cultivators to ascend to immortality!"

Meanwhile, the Immortal Pivot of the present world.

At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon had revealed its true form, its majestic dragon body stretching out to the fullest, gazing up at the sky, its flowing, multicolored eyes filled with a cruel smile.

Under his gaze, a magnificent beam of light rose slowly, connecting the Bitter Sea below and the Other Shore above, carrying an incomparably intimate call that resonated with the Ancestral Dragon's divine sense, blood, and magical power. At the same time, it frantically elevated his status, causing his aura to gradually rise.

[A calamity!]
'I don't need to actually cause the Other Shore to collapse; as long as I have the power to make it collapse, the calamities will naturally and continuously cater to me.'

'That's enough.'

'After all, I don't even need to actually prove the tribulation; I just need to absorb enough of the tribulation's aura to propel my ascension to the Nascent Soul stage.'

The First Emperor grinned and laughed wildly.

Now that things have come to this, who can stop him?

In the underworld, beside Dao Tianqi.

Lu Yang stared blankly at the panel of the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes], and when he saw the gleaming [Outside Observer] on it, a strange smile appeared on his face.

[Outside Observer: Select a "character in the play," activate your observation perspective, and by observing them, you can elevate their cause and effect, destiny, and fate, and assign them a "play." Upon ending the observation, the character disappears without cause or effect, leaving absolutely no trace.]

"No way."

He had already made up his mind: the Arctic Exorcism Institute would send him to the afterlife, and he would have achieved his goal for this life. He only needed to be a spectator.

but now--

'Could it be that I could pull off something big?'
