Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1144 Seizing food from the tiger’s mouth
Although the situation seemed critical, Lü Yang remained calm and quickly regained his composure after a brief moment of shock.

He can't do anything about me.

This was by no means rash confidence, but rather reasoning based on facts: the fact that he hadn't been beaten to death was evidence that the old beast couldn't catch him.

Another piece of evidence is the "Survival Guide to the Immortal Pivot".

Since acquiring this golden talent, he has basically kept it active 24/7, even scanning an ant crawling by on the roadside.

This time will be no exception.

The result was [no pitfalls].

Lu Yang simply did not believe that the First Saint could deceive the [Survival Guide of the Immortal Pivot]. The strength of the talent calculated by the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] has always been beyond doubt.

Then there's only the second possibility.

According to the "[Celestial Pivot Survival Guide]", with my current abilities, even a Primordial Saint can't do anything to me, and I face no life-or-death crisis. That's why it shows "[No Pitfall]".

Similar situations had occurred before. As his cultivation level improved and his strength increased, things that were previously displayed as "small pits" would become "pitless." Thinking of this, Lü Yang became even calmer, and even had the mood to raise his head and look at that tiny figure across the distance.

What, you dare kill me?

Anyway, what was put into the [Zulong Villa] was just an incarnation. If it died, it died. It could be re-projected at any time. Lü Yang wasn't afraid at all.

"Boom!"

At this moment, Xu Ming trembled. Through the [Arctic Exorcism Institute], Lü Yang could clearly feel a tangible gaze sweeping over Xu Ming.

However, the result was like finding a needle in a haystack.

'He can't find me; I'm too weak.'

Lü Yang was self-aware; compared to the Underworld back then, his [Arctic Exorcism Institute] was utterly insignificant, its scale unbelievably small.

"The reason the First Sage was able to discover the Underworld back then, besides Dao Tianqi walking right into the trap, was largely because the Underworld itself was very difficult to hide. After all, the Underworld used so many Void Stones and truly possessed the foundation of the 'Other Shore,' making it as conspicuous in the Void Realm as a firefly in the dark."

'As long as the sage searches diligently, he will always find it.'

However, the Arctic Exorcism Institute is different.

Let alone the foundation of the Other Shore, the current Arctic Exorcism Institute can at most support a single immortal bridge, not even a complete plane.

Given its low caliber, it's normal that the First Saint couldn't be found.

Just then, Lü Yang noticed that the initial saint's gaze had changed again. It seemed that he was no longer using brute force to search for the void, but had changed his search method.

"Oh. This is..."

This time, when his gaze swept over the [Arctic Exorcism Institute], Lü Yang felt a slight itch on his scalp, as if something was about to grow out.

'Huiguang?'

'Is this old beast trying to find out about Huiguang? Because someone capable of establishing a lineage, even if Huiguang isn't as skilled as Daotianqi, should at least be at a similar level?'

That's a good idea.

Lu Yang couldn't help but applaud and cheer for the First Saint. This method of searching for Huiguang was truly hitting the snake where it hurts most, and it couldn't be more suitable for finding people.

Unfortunately, I met myself.

What is Huiguang?
I don’t!

Thinking of this, Lü Yang became even calmer, but his scalp, which had been itchy for a long time, still hadn't grown out as expected, remaining as stable as ever.

However, at that moment, inside the [Arctic Exorcism Courtyard], Lü Yang's main body raised an eyebrow, and then saw his avatar, which he had placed in the [Ancestral Dragon Courtyard], suddenly display a notification:

[Small pit].

The reminder from the [Survival Guide to Immortal Pivot] surprised Lü Yang, who couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of that old beast, he even managed to find a way?"

It's important to understand that the connection between the [Representative Body] and the [True Body] in the Investiture of the Gods is not a simple connection between a clone and the main body. That kind of connection is too fragile. If you're not careful, someone can find a flaw and directly affect the main body through the clone. Lu Yang suffered a loss when he fought against Di Cang.

But you learn from your mistakes.

Therefore, when establishing the Daoist lineage, Lü Yang referenced Di Cang's "Wantong Thunder Sound Method" and "Three Mysteries Reverent Heaven Orthodox Method" and made a very targeted design.

This is to prevent similar hidden dangers.

In my design, the "manifestation" and the "true form" are more like the main body and its shadow; no matter how distorted the shadow is, it can never affect the main body.

This was a design he made in the state of "Supreme Dao Transformation".

However, it now seems that even so, there is still a flaw between the [manifestation body] and the [true body], which the old beast has managed to exploit.

And that old man is really wicked.

On the surface, his gaze swept over Xu Ming again and again, making a big show of it, but he gained nothing, looking like he had exhausted all his tricks and was helpless.

In reality, he was secretly focusing his energy on his own body. If it weren't for the [Immortal Pivot Survival Guide]'s prompting, he might not have noticed his little tricks. If it dragged on for too long, he might actually be able to follow the clues and find the [Arctic Exorcism Institute].

Thinking of this, Lü Yang immediately had an idea.

"Boom!"

The next second, the avatar inside the [Zulong Courtyard] quietly shattered. Before that, Lü Yang immediately felt a vast and mighty force crash down.

It seems to want to fix the body in place and prevent it from perishing.

However, it was all in vain, since the physical body is just a shadow, and the existence of a shadow does not depend on the shadow itself, but on the light source and the original body.

Therefore, the manifested body still dissipated uncontrollably.

Almost simultaneously, Lü Yang could clearly feel that the already cold gaze from the very top of the [Other Shore] became even more chilling.

Upon seeing this, Lü Yang immediately opened the panel of the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes]. If the First Saint made any move to overturn the table, he would immediately advance to the next life.

Although he withstood the first saint's three rounds of searching, Lü Yang did not become arrogant. He knew very well that as long as the first saint wanted to, he could still find him.

However, he also has many limitations.

First, by establishing oneself on the seventh level of the Other Shore, the First Saint's interference in the present world becomes quite limited, at least far less relaxed and free than that of the World Honored One.

Secondly, the initial saint's size is too large. Once he casts an excessive amount of his great power from the "Other Shore" into the mortal world, it will be impossible to hide it from the other Dao Lords. However, the initial saint cannot use the other Dao Lords to open the secret place of the "Ancestral Dragon Courtyard" and will not let them know the details.

At this thought, a bold idea suddenly popped into Lü Yang's mind.

"Since we've already been exposed in this life, our unexpectedness as a [variable] has been greatly reduced. In that case, why not take this opportunity to test the waters?"

This is a rare opportunity.

There are very few things, both within and outside the world, that can make a Saint of the Beginning have so many concerns, something difficult to interfere with, yet something that cannot be ignored. It is just the right thing to use to test a Saint of the Beginning.

Lü Yang's idea was very simple:
He wanted to snatch food from the tiger's mouth!
Snatch the Ancestral Dragon Courtyard right under the nose of the First Sage!
