Chapter 1176 Fellow Taoist
Nevertheless, Ling Xiao did not respond immediately. Instead, he took a deep breath and met Lü Yang's gaze with an unprecedented look.

After a moment, he suddenly spoke:

"When I left the underworld, a Daoist master came to me and said that he used unorthodox methods to teach me to verify the Yin and Yang, which is also a way to reach the heavens."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang immediately narrowed his eyes.

This is a side branch of the theory of Yin and Yang.

Just after Ling Xiao finished explaining what unorthodox methods were and used the example of the World Honored One, Lü Yang finally understood and was also quickly deducing their feasibility in his mind.

At first glance, it really is just a path.

'However, in this world, Yin and Yang are not manifest, and the Dharma body is gone. What can one use to prove it? That's it! False history. He can only find proof within false history!'

Without Ling Xiao needing to explain further, Lü Yang already understood the cause and effect, and immediately came to the conclusion: "This lord is deceiving fellow Daoist."

Unlike Lü Yang, Ling Xiao, though also suspecting he'd been tricked, was limited by information, like a blind man touching an elephant, knowing the "what" but not the "why." In contrast, Lü Yang knew far more secrets, and thus immediately pinpointed the biggest flaw in this so-called unorthodox method.

"Because the Other Shore has, and can only have, six Dao Lords!"

Boom!

Before Lü Yang finished speaking, the vast [Human World] immediately sensed it, and a majestic outline seemed to be sketched out on the distant horizon.

【the other side】!
The once unseen high place suddenly revealed its outline, allowing people to look directly at it, when Lü Yang revealed one of its greatest truths.

Ling Xiao's expression changed instantly.

'Can there only be six?'

'Why? ’

Lu Yang continued, "The six Dao Lords were the original intention behind the creation of [The Other Shore]. From the very beginning, no one else was given the opportunity to rise to the top."

"The reason why the World Honored One was able to ascend to the throne was because he assisted the First Sage in killing the Dao Lord Si Chong of the Dharma Body Path. In addition to the Dharma Body Path, that Dao Lord also controlled Yin and Yang. Because of the fall of one Dao Lord, the World Honored One was able to fill the vacancy of the Other Shore and become the new Dao Lord."

Lü Yang spoke with absolute certainty.

It should be noted that even in the previous life, when Angxiao had already passed the Tribulation, the First Sage did not allow him to ascend to the Other Shore and even personally suppressed him.

Now that they've switched to the unorthodox Yin-Yang school, there's even less chance of success.

In an instant, Ling Xiao's eyes turned icy cold.

To become a Dao Lord, you first need to kill one? But if you're not a Dao Lord, how can you kill one? This is a dead end!
The next second, Ling Xiao suddenly laughed, a chilling laugh, the corners of his mouth slightly raised:

"If that's the case, why did that nameless lord specifically come to point me down a dead end? And in what way can he possibly use me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Lü Yang and asked with certainty, "Are you a fellow Daoist? Are you also going to the False History? Which Dao Lord are you serving now?"

Lü Yang knew that this was a frank and open discussion.

Therefore, he did not hesitate and said directly:

"The World Honored One, Sword Lord, and Cang Hao, the three Dao Lords, jointly decided to send me into the false history. The Dao Lord you are talking to should also be one of the three of them."

At this point, both of them actually knew the answer in their hearts.

The World Honored One? That's unlikely. This one is actually the closest to them, who are lower-level cultivators. If he really wanted to scheme, he wouldn't need to do it this way.

"Sword Lord, or Cang Hao?" Ling Xiao asked softly.

"Cang Hao!"

Lu Yang slowly uttered two words, and in an instant, the outline of the distant horizon that encompassed the sky grew even larger, casting a dark shadow.

"Sword Lord and Cang Hao jointly established the Heavenly Dao, with Sword Lord as the master and Cang Hao as the assistant. However, since they are both Dao Lords, how could they be willing to remain subservient to others for long? Sword Lord is already in charge of the Heavenly Dao and can sit back and relax, so he has no need to make other plans. Only Cang Hao has the most motive!"

Ling Xiao nodded upon hearing this.

At the same time, his gaze toward Lü Yang held more approval. Clearly, this was someone who understood the Dao Lord very well and had a superior cultivation perspective.

This is particularly critical.

After all, in this godforsaken place, if you don't have the ability to cultivate your perspective, no matter how high your cultivation level or how good your talent, you'll just end up being played to death by those adults. Therefore, it's clear this buyer is quite reliable.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao took a deep breath: "I have three questions. If you can answer them, I will hand over my Golden Nature and work with you to advance to the Upper Realm."

Lü Yang nodded: "Please speak."

"First of all, since you've mentioned that there are limited spots on the Other Shore, and the Underworld now has a master, what do you intend to use to prove your position as the Dao Lord?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang did not hesitate:

"I have established a new law, so naturally I must establish a new 'other shore'. I have already succeeded in this endeavor, and only the final expansion is needed before I can carry out a world-changing act."

At this point, Lü Yang elaborated on his plan to widely spread the Daoist lineage, appoint deities, thereby controlling the Sea of ​​Light, replacing the Great Dao, and ultimately undermining the Dao Lord's power. Ling Xiao listened patiently, his eyes flashing with wisdom as he quickly deduced the feasibility and drew a conclusion:
'So that's why he went to study the fabricated history!'

'Though the mortal world is vast, it is entirely within the Dao Lord's grasp. If he wants to accomplish such a thing, he can only go to the false history, then legitimize it, and launch a surprise attack.'

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao's expression became even more serious.

Second question:
"Fellow Daoist's plan is to make enemies of all Dao Lords. Even if you can hide it for now and get away with it, it will definitely be exposed when the time comes."

While cutting off the source of the problem is a clever and ruthless move, it will inevitably provoke a fierce counterattack from the Dao Lord.

"At that time, how do you plan to deal with the Dao Lord's purge?"

"Liquidation?"

Lu Yang chuckled lightly, but there was no hint of amusement in his eyes. He calmly recounted the initial saint's plan for ascending to the Divine Transformation stage, and then said softly:

"When I attained enlightenment, the Other Shore collapsed, and all the Dao Lords fell into the mortal world."

"They're settling scores with me?"

Finally, Lu Yang's tone revealed a long-suppressed killing intent:
"When the time comes, it will be my turn to settle scores with them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Xiao had completely figured out Lü Yang's plan. After Lü Yang revealed everything, he looked calmly at Ling Xiao and stared straight at him.

".how?"

His voice was utterly calm, as still as water.
"Fellow Daoist now understands everything. Do you intend to leave the mortal world and use me to sell to the Dao Lord for a good price, or do you want to cooperate with me in this conspiracy?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao's previously cold smile suddenly softened.

'Go find the Dao Lord? Betray the person before you?'

Do not make jokes!
The big shots in the sky wouldn't care about such a trivial matter. Even if you saved their lives, they would still turn against you if you wanted to, let alone just a piece of information!

If the Other Shore truly can only accommodate six Dao Lords, then there is no benefit to betraying the person in front of me, because I won't get a good price to sell myself into becoming a Dao Lord. It's even possible that the Dao Lord might be so pleased with this that he might kill me along with him.

"Fellow Daoist has truly misunderstood me."

Ling Xiao smiled gently and said, "Fellow Daoist can inquire about it. My reputation was quite good back then. How could I be a two-faced and treacherous villain?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang rolled up his sleeves.

"In that case, fellow Daoist, do you intend to surrender directly, or ask one last question?"

At this moment, the two already understood each other implicitly, and only the final step remained. Ling Xiao also rolled up his sleeves and then asked the last question with a smile:
"How can you be so sure that you can use this method to attain the Dao Master status?"

"I can't be sure."

Lu Yang raised his hand, his tone light:
"You can judge this for yourself, fellow Daoist."

"Well."

Ling Xiao nodded.

How can he prove he can become a Dao Master? He doesn't need to at all. How can a Dao Master simply claim to have a chance of winning? Such matters are always a matter of life and death.

He asked this question, but actually meant something else entirely:
Is your path higher than mine?

Only by surpassing oneself can one prove that this path has a higher chance of success, and the only way to judge this is to let strength speak for itself!

If someone can truly surpass me, then why not risk my life for them?
