Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1182 The Nameless Daoist Master
Why did Lü Yang feel that the World Honored One was the most humane among the Dao Lords?

The reason is simple: he is too complex. He can be ruthless yet tender, sentimental yet ungrateful, as complex as a human being.

He saw it clearly after so many lifetimes.

With Dao Tianqi asleep in the underworld and never awake, he could be so ruthless as to support Ling Xiao, ultimately leading to Dao Tianqi's complete demise.

However, after Dao Tianqi awakens, he will do everything in his power to help Dao Tianqi, even fighting the First Saint to the death.

The same applies to Ling Xiao.

He would spare no effort to support him in his quest to prove the underworld, or even the "calamity," but when the time came, he would discard him like trash.

Just like now.

Looking at the World Honored One, Ling Xiao lowered his eyelids.

"There can only be six Dao Lords on the Other Shore. He couldn't possibly not know that, yet he didn't tell me, only saying there's one path to take. He's using me as a pawn."

Not only that, they also planned to use the credit information they had previously obtained from me to make money and then rip me off.

Beast!
Luckily, I'm the same way.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao quickly lowered his head, glanced at the jade slip sent by the World Honored One, and immediately understood after seeing the [Divine Feast] inside.

In a moment of realization, Ling Xiao even felt a touch of admiration for Lü Yang, inwardly marveling, "Did he foresee the World Honored One's actions, which is why he specifically came to recruit me? What a high level of insight. Despite having a cultivation level similar to mine, he could predict the Dao Lord's movements with such precision."

Ling Xiao put away the jade slip, his expression turning solemn:
"Does Your Excellency mean for me to spread this method in the fabricated history? It is undeniable that this method is extremely profound, but it seems to offer no help to my path to enlightenment?"

The Buddha shook his head upon hearing this:

"There is a path in the world called 'calamity'. If you follow my method, you will surely unleash an unprecedented calamity. It may not be impossible to use this to prove your Dao."

After saying this, the Buddha gave a more detailed explanation.

In short, the goal is to spread this method throughout the fabricated history, then let the fabricated history return, annihilate the cultivators of the current lineage, and thus trigger the sense of a calamity.

It sounds plausible.

After listening patiently, Ling Xiao changed the subject: "Before I left the Underworld, an unnamed Taoist priest approached me and said something similar."

"What?" The World Honored One's gaze sharpened.

“Proof of the Yin-Yang side gate.”

Ling Xiao earnestly recounted the path of cultivation that the nameless Daoist Master had previously explained to him, and then asked, "May I ask, sir, which of you should I believe?"

The choice is yours.

After a moment of silence, the Buddha gave his answer: "The two are not actually contradictory. You can proceed with both at the same time and see which one is more suitable in the end."

I won't force you.

The Buddha's words were very pleasing to the ear, but Ling Xiao scoffed at them, thinking to himself, 'He's clearly guessing what I'm thinking and is saying this on purpose.'

If he hadn't been recruited by that mysterious fellow Daoist, he would have inevitably chosen to pursue both paths in his quest for the Dao, ultimately struggling to the death like a butterfly caught in a spider's web.

But things are different now.

He has found a completely new path, and what's even better is that this path is hidden perfectly. At least for now, it seems that no Dao Master has discovered it!
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao immediately straightened his expression:

"Thank you for your understanding, sir. I will consider it carefully."

The Buddha then nodded slightly.

'That's enough.'

The World Honored One connected the open-source version of [Divine Feast], which he had given to Ling Xiao, to the [Diamond Realm], which he had created, the core of which was the unity of all people.

'The demon-taming is still too kind.'

'This method of utilizing the power of all living beings is indeed ingenious, but it lacks countermeasures. What if the Heavenly Dao takes the benefits and then turns its back on us?'

After all, that's the Sword Lord!
'By connecting with my united will, at least there's an extra layer of protection. If the Sword Lord turns against me, I'll manipulate all the gods to commit suicide and break the Heavenly Dao.' As for Ling Xiao, the World Honored One could only say, 'May you have good fortune.'

'At least I didn't lie to him. When the false history returns, he, having accomplished such a great feat, could indeed trigger a calamity, but whether he succeeds or not is another matter.'

However, there was an unexpected twist to this conversation.

'The Nameless Daoist Master.'

He secretly contacted Ling Xiao and asked, "Who is the Daoist Master of the Yin-Yang unorthodox sect?"

'Azure Vastness? Myriad Laws?'

With this question in mind, the World Honored One's figure suddenly disappeared into the realm of cause and effect, and Ling Xiao's consciousness returned, letting out a long breath.

Seeing his expression, Lü Yang raised an eyebrow slightly:
"Fellow?"

"The World Honored One has contacted me."

Ling Xiao recounted his conversation with the World Honored One without hesitation. Lu Yang was not surprised, as this was actually within his expectations.

"Just do it."

Lu Yang smiled slightly and said, "However, we can still use the [Divine Feast] that I gave you. By the time he discovers it, our plan will have already succeeded."

"Okay." Ling Xiao nodded.

In this way, the Buddha's next step was effectively blocked.

Besides, there's also the eldest disciple of the Master of Magic, whom I might need to find an opportunity to meet and see if I can persuade him like Ling Xiao did.

Just as Lü Yang was pondering, Ling Xiao's eyes suddenly flickered.

".interesting."

The next second, he looked at Lü Yang and said, "Before I left the Underworld, I left an avatar in the mortal world. Just now, it seems that someone touched a mysterious thing."

“I have hidden myself very well and have used many methods. To find that incarnation, one must either have extraordinary methods like you, or be a Dao Lord.”

Lü Yang immediately understood Ling Xiao's implied meaning.

He was referring to someone who "acts outside the law and serves the world."

'The only way something hidden with the [Great Forest Wood] could be found is by a Dao Lord, not the World Honored One. It can only be that nameless Dao Lord!'

Let's meet.

After a moment of silence, Lü Yang smiled and said, "I guessed it was Cang Hao before, but that's not necessarily true. It's good to meet him a few more times so we can find more clues."

Ling Xiao shared the same thought and immediately nodded in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, his consciousness left the human world again and came into the body he had hidden in the world outside the law, and then he opened his eyes.

In an instant, all was silent.

Ling Xiao's gaze froze before him, and all the light seemed to fall down, surrounding a blurry yet bright figure.

This person is tall and upright, dressed in rosy clouds, leaning against the myriad phenomena, with his hands behind his back and his sleeves fluttering in the wind. Although he has long hair that falls to his waist, it is impossible to tell whether he is male or female. His face is even more difficult to see, and neither the old nor the young can tell. All that can be seen is a pair of deep and bright eyes.

It was that "Nameless Daoist Master".

His first words made Ling Xiao hold his breath.

"Have you met with the World-Honored One?"

"."

The ethereal, mystical voice faded, tinged with a hint of amusement: "What did he say? Did he refute the unorthodox teachings of the [Yin-Yang] school? Or did he offer you another path?"
