Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1226 The Prey Takes the Bait
Above the sky, boundless clouds and mist filled the space between heaven and earth, vaguely revealing six outlines, which were the remains of the six dragon lords.

"Brother, what should we do?"

With a mournful dragon face, Cangjiang Dragon Lord whispered to the dragon head beside him, "This half-dead state is more torturous than death."

The old dragon king also looked helpless.

You really can't blame him. Who would have thought that such a method existed in the world, killing people without them dying, directly preventing resurrection? It's just too evil.

Thinking this, it glanced again into the depths of the clouds, a chill running down its spine: 'The Heavenly Emperor intervened just now, but was forcibly forced back by the Great Sword Sect. That mysterious person, like the Great Sword Sect, is also born with three spiritual powers? But how did such a powerful figure emerge? How could he have remained unknown beforehand?'

It is unknown.

Meanwhile, as the six Dragon Lords trembled with fear, deep within the clouds and mist, the Great Sword Sect took a step back, distancing themselves from the Demon-Slaying True Man.

"Does fellow Daoist have any other questions?"

The Demon-Slaying Master shook his head: "None at the moment."

"Then I'll leave first. If I stay here, many things will lose their suspense, and things that were going to happen might not happen at all."

The Great Sword Sect member spoke in a calm tone.

Before he finished speaking, his figure vanished into the clouds and smoke, leaving no trace. Only the Demon-Slaying Master remained, standing silently with his sword in hand.

At the same time, Lü Yang was also sorting out his thoughts.

'The method of the primordial spirit is now clear.'

"However, this is only the method of exorcising spirits. Back then, there were three main methods of primordial spirit cultivation prevalent in the Guanghai region, in addition to the methods of the First Saint and Dao Tianqi."

The First Sage's [Seven Emotions Reaching Heaven] Technique.

Dao Tianqi's "The Scripture of Seeking Immortality Through Perfection of Nature".

As can be seen from the name, the teachings of the First Sage are clearly not related to good and evil, or rather, he refined and broke down the general concepts of good and evil.

The difficulty of cultivation has increased.

From this perspective, when Si Chong created this primordial spirit technique, he probably simplified it to make it less difficult to cultivate.

After all, the method of controlling spirits only distinguishes between good and evil consciousness, while the First Saint's [Seven Emotions Reaching Heaven Technique], judging from its name, seems to be related to the seven emotions and six desires, and at the very least, it probably involves seven consciousnesses, making the cultivation difficulty more than three times higher. However, on the other hand, this also demonstrates the power of controlling spirits.

It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality

Although the difficulty of cultivation has decreased significantly, the final result is no different—it is still the primordial spirit, which can be considered an epoch-making achievement.

'And if my guess is correct.'

'The nameless Daoist is much weaker than I imagined. He can't even be called a Dao Lord; he might just be a nascent soul!'

After all, if the Nameless Dao Lord was truly born from the fusion of the World Honored One's evil consciousness and the Dao Lord of Magic Power's benevolent consciousness, then he was born without a physical body and without any cultivation, possessing only the essence of a primordial spirit. Even if he were to condense a physical body, he would have to start cultivating from scratch.

'What Daoist Master? A stray dog, a rat in the gutter, haha.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang suddenly couldn't help but chuckle: 'Cultivation? What does he have to cultivate with? Under the Dao Lord's rule, if he dared to cultivate, he would be doomed!'

The simplest example is the Buddha.

As the lowest-ranking Dao Lord, the World Honored One has very strict control over the mortal world. Whenever someone asks for the results of their ascension to the throne, he will at least take a look.

That's the trouble.

Imagine if the nameless Daoist Master went to cultivate again and easily attained the True Lord status, and then the World Honored One looked at him and said, "Huh? How come this True Lord has a primordial spirit?"

At that time, dying suddenly would be considered a good outcome.

What's more troublesome is that the Nameless Daoist is also a part of the World Honored One, a characteristic that makes it almost impossible for him to hide from the World Honored One.

'Therefore, in his previous life, he never appeared. After all, a mere primordial spirit has no material basis; how could he manifest? Hiding is the only logical course of action. The reason he appeared in this life is probably because of me; I persuaded the World Honored One and the others to lift the restrictions on the false history.'

Why did the nameless Taoist priest want Ling Xiao to prove the unorthodox Yin-Yang path?
The answer couldn't be simpler: he needs Yin and Yang. Having only a primordial spirit, he needs Yin and Yang to fill the missing parts—the primordial spirit's consciousness and its material existence.

Just like the present and the dark side of the sea of ​​light.

'What he wants isn't to start over, but to achieve instant enlightenment, using the [Yin-Yang] principle to directly create a Dharma body that corresponds to the essence of his primordial spirit!'

So he didn't actually need Ling Xiao to succeed.

'As long as he proves it and triggers the manifestation of Yin and Yang, that's enough. As for the 'heavenly book' in the fabricated history, it's just a smokescreen to mislead people.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang's eyes suddenly lit up.

This is the power of knowledge.

As long as his deduction about the origins of the Nameless Daoist is correct, then all of his subsequent plans and even his future actions can be predicted and analyzed.

Even thinking about it on a deeper level:
Was the birth of the Nameless Daoist Master truly an accident caused by a "variable"? Or was it possible that someone with ulterior motives secretly guided and orchestrated his emergence?

It's not impossible!
'Even the Nameless Dao Master himself probably has similar doubts.'

So the question is, who is most likely to do this? The First Saint? The World Honored One? The Lord of Dharma Power? No, these people are actually a little short.

'The person who is truly most likely to do this.'

'It should be the spirit medium!'

'After all, he created this system of Good and Evil Primordial Spirit Techniques; he understands its intricacies best. So, did he have the motive to do such a thing?'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Of course!
'The Nameless Daoist Master's goal is [Yin and Yang]. To achieve this, he must delve into fabricated history; in this way, the Spirit Master might be able to escape his predicament!'

Lu Yang asked himself, and he could guess that the Nameless Daoist Master probably also had some taboos. That's why he sent someone to seek help from the Yin-Yang unorthodox sect, just to avoid rescuing Si Chong and to prevent becoming a stepping stone for Si Chong to escape. This was a reasonable deduction, and if he were in his shoes, he would definitely do the same.

Moreover, once Si Chong is freed...

The Yin and Yang are under his control; he can give him a physical body or cancel it back, thus the Nameless Daoist Master will be forever subject to the Spirit Master.

This is obviously hard to accept.

'Leaving aside whether the person in charge of exorcisms would be so ruthless as to discard their prey after the hunt, the fact that the Nameless Daoist Master is wary of that is enough.'

At this moment, Lü Yang was absolutely certain: 'With this information, I can have a direct confrontation with the Nameless Daoist Master without worrying about any unexpected events!'

[The Hidden Abode of Enlightenment]

An ethereal shadow, imperceptible to all, stood at the very top of the cave, watching the cultivators below swarm like ants as they vied for every opportunity.

No, none at all.

In a short period of time, he had examined all the True Lords who had entered the cave, but found nothing; he had not discovered any aura related to the Ancestral Dragon.

Did you guess wrong?
Not the First Emperor?

Or was the condition of the Ancestral Dragon worse than he had imagined, to the point that even a True Lord could not possess him and could only barely rely on a Foundation Establishment True Person?

Just as the Nameless Daoist was pondering this...

Suddenly, a change in the energy in a certain direction startled him, causing him to immediately turn his gaze to the central palace of [Baiyujing].

"Ok?"

In an instant, the nameless Daoist Master's gaze fell upon the figure that, though hidden and unnoticed, was extremely weak, only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

The next second, he smiled.

Persistence pays off; it seems the prey finally took the bait!
