Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1142 Beyond the Sea of ​​Light, the Ancestral Dragon's Villa

【Arctic Exorcism Center】.

The majestic palace stands solemnly, bathed in soft, ethereal light that falls upon the white jade steps and the dragon and phoenix pillars, the steps rising layer by layer into the clouds.

Lu Yang did not rush forward, but quietly comprehended his own state. The wisdom light gathered in his eyes of the Supreme Dao Transformation rapidly deduced the subsequent realm. Endless mysteries continued to descend, flowing into his body, nourishing his life, and elevating him to a higher realm.

"After ascending to the level of a Divine Lord, there will be no longer a physical body in the world."

"The only true form is the divine statue formed within the [Arctic Exorcism Institute], while the mortal body will be transformed into a [manifestation body]."

Lü Yang lowered his head, looking down upon the mortal world.

Soon, he saw his body in the sea of ​​clouds reaching the sky. Then, with a thought, his body instantly shattered and turned into dissipated spiritual energy.

Then, he turned his gaze away.

This time, it wasn't in the sea of ​​clouds reaching the sky, but overseas. As his gaze focused, spiritual energy responded, and a brand new physical body was instantly created.

"This is the [manifestation]."

"The avatar that responds to your will will not affect your true form even if it is destroyed. It can be immediately deployed to any place that your divine sense can reach."

"If I had to point out any flaws, it would be that it's too weak."

Lu Yang's initial perception was that the [Manifestation Body] was at most at the level of an Outer Path True Monarch. Although it surpassed the Foundation Establishment stage, it was difficult to compare with an Orthodox True Monarch.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang raised his head and sensed the [Heavenly Calendar]. Immediately, a profound power fell upon his [Representative Body]. In an instant, the cultivation of that [Representative Body] surged, directly surpassing the bottleneck that countless heretical True Monarchs sought but could not obtain, and reaching the level of an orthodox True Monarch!

"This is the [Sambhogakaya]."

Lü Yang nodded slightly: "Unlike the [Representative Body], condensing the [Retribution Body] requires more energy, and once it is damaged, it will backfire on the original body."

The strength of [Biographies] is already comparable to that of a true monarch.

However, it is not enough.

"If my lineage wants to defeat the Cave Heaven Technique, it must be stronger than it at the same level. Above the [Reward Body], there should also be a [True Body]."

In short, it is the statue itself.

"The level of the cave heaven method created by that old beast is frighteningly high. It is impossible for a Divine Lord to surpass a Golden Core True Lord in terms of cultivation or design."

Therefore, cheating is the only option.

"The reason why the True Lord of the Cave Heaven is superior to others is that the essence of the Cave Heaven is higher."

"I can't do anything about this, but I have the [Heavenly Calendar]. At worst, I'll use it to elevate the God-King to a higher rank that doesn't belong to him!"

To put it simply, it means delegating positions to lower levels.

"From the early stage of Golden Core to the late stage of Golden Core, one's rank is achieved in one fell swoop, because there is no significant increase in rank between the early stage and the middle stage of Golden Core."

"However, in my Conferred God Method, we can proceed step by step, dividing the ranks from the early to the late Golden Core stage into nine parts, with three parts each for the early, middle, and late stages. This ensures that the rank of each realm will improve to a certain extent, allowing the early and middle stages to surpass the Cave Heaven Method!"

"Besides, the Cave Heaven Technique grants immortality and indestructibility at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, so my God Conferring Technique must also be included."

At this moment, Lü Yang was like drawing his own blueprint on a blank sheet of paper, and the wisdom light condensed by the Supreme Dao was his brush and ink.

"To reach the mid-stage of the Divine Lord realm, two indicators are required."

"The first is the Dao heart; a perfect Dao heart is a prerequisite. The second is merit; one must do good deeds and accumulate merit, and have enough incense offerings to break through to the middle stage."

This is what is meant by "meritorious deeds on the path lead to good conduct in the human world".

"Only by meeting these two criteria can one be allowed to join the ranks of immortals and leave a mark on the [Arctic Exorcism Institute]. Even if the statue is destroyed, it can be reassembled."

"At the same time, the indicators of merit and incense offerings are assessed every once in a while."

"If a mid-stage Divine Lord fails the assessment, their rank will be immediately lowered, they will be dismissed, and they will be forced to start over at the early stage of Divine Lord." At first glance, this seems very harsh.

In reality, the targets designed by Lü Yang were not high. With the size of a Divine Lord, he could easily complete the task by simply letting a little bit of material leak from his fingertips for downward adjustment.

If there really is a god who is stingy and unwilling to accumulate even such a small amount of merit and incense offerings, then don't blame Lü Yang for bringing down his iron fist.

"The same applies to the later Great Gods."

"On the one hand, one's Dao heart must reach the second stage and condense the heart fast. On the other hand, the indicators of merit and incense offerings will also be higher. In addition, there are assessments and credit checks. Only after passing all of them can one be approved to advance to the late stage of the Divine Lord and have an exclusive residence in the Arctic Exorcism Academy."

It is called a mansion, but it is actually a plane of existence.

After that, the Great God Lord's cultivation consisted of constantly strengthening his mansion and perfecting the plane, indirectly contributing to the [Arctic Exorcism Institute].

'And so it has been passed down from generation to generation.'

'The incense offerings of each deity constitute my lineage, providing a stable anchor for the [Arctic Exorcism Institute], preventing it from losing its way.'

"Besides, the cultivation of the deities can also propel the [Northern Exorcism Academy] to continue its ascent in rank. Based on this, everything about them is actually under the control of the [Northern Exorcism Academy], much like the underworld. Given time, I too can ascend to the position of Dao Lord, just like Dao Tianqi!"

Without cause or effect, the Dao Lord has stepped out of the First Saint's sight!

Just thinking about it made Lü Yang sneer.

When the current sage resorts to the same trick, causing the fall of the Other Shore and all the Dao Lords to fall from their realms, the Dao Lord himself, who has now attained the Dao Lord status, suddenly reappears.
"Jie Jie Jie!"

When the time comes, I'll fucking beat the First Saint's head!

The light sea is number one in combat. What good is that? Combat techniques are less important than combat cultivation. My favorite thing to do in life is to challenge and humiliate those of lower levels!

Lü Yang indulged in his imagination and was completely satisfied.

Immediately afterward, he took a step forward, and within the [Arctic Exorcism Academy], the boundless mysterious light spontaneously parted, opening up a path for him to reach the summit.

Lu Yang stepped onto the white jade steps, ascending step by step, climbing his rank until finally reaching the highest point of the [Northern Exorcism Academy]. His cultivation level had completely recovered to the Immortal Bridge Realm of his previous life, and he had even vaguely touched the bottleneck of a higher level.

"Treading the Heavens."

Lu Yang was not in a hurry: "The reason I haven't broken through to the Heavenly Stepping stage is simply because the lineage hasn't been spread yet. This stage is no challenge for me."

The real challenge lies in achieving the Golden Core and becoming a Dao Master.

After all, spreading the Daoist tradition requires widespread dissemination, and building a new "Other Shore" requires many anchors, which can easily attract the attention of the Daoist Master.

In addition, the third stage of the Dao Heart, the Primordial Spirit, is also a major hurdle.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang exhaled a deep breath, and the wisdom in his eyes gradually dimmed as the time limit of [Supreme Dao Transformation] ended.

But at this moment.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Lü Yang raised his head, a strange feeling rising in his heart. He turned to look at the boundless Void Realm outside the [Arctic Exorcism Academy].

Suddenly, a bright light flashed.

'Deep within the Land of Illusion, there is something!?'

Lu Yang was surprised and immediately focused his gaze. Under his gaze, the outline and appearance of an ancient mansion gradually emerged in the bright light.

The plaque above the mansion made Lü Yang freeze in place.
