Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1449 Extra Chapter 8: My Youthful Days Will Never Return
In ancient times, the platform where the First Sage preached.

Xu Changhe disregarded the fact that this was not his own cave dwelling, feeling his inspiration flowing like a spring and profound insights surging into his mind, so he simply sat down on the spot.

Before long, he entered a state of enlightenment.

In this state, he is almost completely unaware of the outside world. If an outsider were to plot against him, he would be at their mercy.

However, Xu Changhe didn't seem to care much about it.

After all, this is the First Saint Sect, the most virtuous place recognized by all the worlds of the Light Sea, and its founder, the First Saint, is now known as the Timely Rain by everyone in the Light Sea.

Three hundred years ago, the empty attainment of Buddhahood shocked countless people.

To this day, Chu Sheng is the strongest person below Guang Hai Dao Zhu, and most people believe that he will definitely be able to refine his primordial spirit and advance to become the new Dao Zhu.

Even more incredibly, this primordial saint was a great being with a heart full of love and concern for all living beings; even the Lord of the Sacred Spirits had publicly praised him.

Such a person is trustworthy.

Therefore, Xu Changhe chose to cultivate in the open air with peace of mind, and he was right. Although many cultivators passed by him along the way, none of them dared to make a move. A very few people showed greed, but after thinking it over, they had no choice but to give up.

"Never mind, never mind."

"This place is, after all, the First Saint Sect. Even without considering the First Saint himself, just looking at his four personal disciples, their strength is enough to make people wary."

That makes sense.

"Wanbao, Butian, Danding, and Huanyao—the first three have all attained the Dao and are now True Monarchs. It seems the last one is close to achieving it as well."

"They are all outstanding individuals."

As they spoke, many cultivators looked up in awe at the vast, boundless sea of ​​clouds stretching out like a chessboard in the distance.

However, what they didn't know was that while they were gazing at the sky-reaching sea of ​​clouds, at the very center of this majestic chessboard, at the [Celestial Origin] position, the array eye called Sacred Fire Cliff, a pair of eyes were also observing them, their gaze calm yet carrying a hint of indifference.

However, the indifference quickly faded.

The next second, two streaks of light flew over and landed on the Sacred Fire Cliff, revealing themselves to be two powerful cultivators.

"The sect has grown quite large now."

One of them, dressed in a Taoist robe, carrying a jade whisk and a sword at his waist, with a hearty smile on his face, laughed loudly at the person on the cliff top:

"Senior Brother, let's have another fight!"

After saying that, he picked up the jade whisk in his hand with a showy air and said smugly, "I have crafted a secret treasure, specifically to deal with your magic weapons."

"I'm sure I'll win this time."

Upon hearing this, Shi Tianyi yawned somewhat boredly: "Forget it, Dan Ding, with your meager refining skills, you think you can deal with me?"

"Don't forget, I am the master of the [Warcraft Path]. You're just an alchemist, trying to learn how to refine magic weapons from me? Do you even have the ability? You know that."

Upon hearing this, Lian Tiandou immediately put on a stern face:
"Since ancient times, magical artifacts and alchemy have been inseparable. I have long since innovated and regard magical treasures as elixirs. Given time, I will surely be able to merge these two great paths into one!"

"At that time, there will be no distinction between weapon crafting and alchemy."

"There is only one [Path of Refinement]!"

At this point, Lian Tiandou immediately thought of a poem, such as something like "Today, my sword points to the clouds, refining weapons, alchemy, and even the heavens," to make a grand statement.

However, the next second, the voice beside him instantly dispelled his lofty ambitions. It was a gentle, clear and pleasant voice praising him: "Senior brother is still as full of passion as he was back then, which really moves junior brother. Why don't you come and have a good discussion with junior brother tonight?"

"Get out of my way!"

Before he could finish speaking, Lian Tiandou, who had just been so arrogant, suddenly retreated as if his tail had been stepped on, and drew his sword.

【The Eight Wise Swords】!
"cut!"

With a single sword strike, all distracting thoughts instantly subsided, but the next second, some even stronger force forcibly suppressed the sword light and calmed it down.

Immediately afterwards, the sword light parted, revealing a stunningly beautiful face that evoked pity. It was none other than Butianque. However, compared to her youth, Butianque had completely changed her appearance. She no longer had any male characteristics and looked exactly like a woman, body and soul.

"Why must you do this, senior brother?"

Butianque blinked her beautiful eyes, and with just that one movement, it seemed as if tears could be squeezed out of them. Her eyes sparkled as she stared straight at Liantiandou.

".hiss!"

Upon seeing this, Lian Tiandou quickly swung the Eight Wisdoms Sword again, but instead of using it to mend the heavens, he used it to slash himself and eliminate the inexplicable evil thoughts.

Of course, this evil thought doesn't mean he has a problem.

It's purely due to the influence of the technique that repairs the flaws in the heavens.

Thinking of this, Lian Tiandou gave a bitter laugh:
"You monster are getting more and more monstrous as you grow older. Last time you ambushed me when I wasn't paying attention and chased me for half of the Light Sea, making it known to everyone and ruining my reputation."

"Ah, it seems my senior brother is truly heartless."

Upon hearing this, Butianque immediately adopted a mournful expression:
"Junior brother only wants to comprehend the Dao of Yin and Yang and the Dao of Heaven and Man. He is willing to use Yin to absorb Yang, but he does not want to give himself to others casually. That's why he wants to try it with senior brother first."

"Unfortunately, my senior brother is oblivious to romance."

"Stop!"

Lian Tiandou's face darkened, and he quickly interrupted Butianque, then changed the subject, saying, "Where's Huan Yao? He's been in seclusion for three years, hasn't he?"

"Not that long."

Upon hearing this, Shi Tianyi shook his head: "Only two and a half years."

"Still not successful?"

Speaking of his junior brother, Butianque stopped teasing his senior brother and became serious: "With his comprehension, he really shouldn't be this slow."

"He has his own ideas."

Upon hearing this, Shi Tianyi sighed and said, "In fact, it is precisely because his talent is too high that the path chosen for him by his master is somewhat contrary to his wishes."

"Not to your liking?" Butianque was taken aback.

"In short, he felt that the [Demon Taming Path] was somewhat superficial."

"He wants to pursue his own path."

Shi Tianyi said helplessly, "Three hundred years have passed. You and the alchemy cauldron have both changed, and so has he. He is no longer the little boy he was three hundred years ago."

Upon hearing this, both Lian Tiandou and Butianque were taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, all three of them showed expressions of nostalgia.

As the saying goes, the sun sets but rises again tomorrow, flowers wither but bloom again next year, and time always moves forward without stopping.

In the blink of an eye, everyone has grown up.

Youth, like a bird, never returns.

Time is such a magical thing; when you experience it firsthand, it always seems to pass very slowly, but when you recall it, it seems to have flown by in the blink of an eye.

"That's definitely his style."

After a moment of silence, Lian Tiandou spoke first, his voice sharp and determined: "His talent surpasses ours, so it's only natural that he has higher aspirations."

"But we're not bad either!"

"In fact, didn't I also feel that the [Alchemy Path] was increasingly not to my liking, which is why I wanted to merge the two paths and create a unique [Alchemy Path]?" "The same goes for Mending the Heavens. The [Dual Cultivation Path] was gradually no longer satisfying him, so he sought more variables. Senior Brother, you should have similar ideas. It's just that we are different from demon tamers. We need to settle down first before we can truly find a new path."

"His talent for taming demons is exceptional."

"He doesn't need to go through the [Demon Taming Path] to mature first. He has his own ideas and the ability to put them into practice so early. We should be happy for him."

Upon hearing this, Butianque immediately said softly:

"Senior brother is right."

On the other hand, Shi Tianyi shook his head: "That's true, but I'm mainly worried that if the demon tamer doesn't follow the path laid out by Master, it will displease him."

"Senior Brother is overthinking it."

Lian Tiandou smiled and waved his hand, saying, "As the saying goes, the master leads you through the door, but the cultivation is up to you. Your master is overjoyed that you have the ambition to raise a demon!"

really?
Shi Tianyi lowered his eyes, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but he took a deep look at the sky above him, recalling the cold eyes he had seen when he was a boy.

I hope so.

In any case, he had called his two junior brothers back. If something unexpected really happened, the three of them working together would at least have a chance to turn things around.

After all, the master probably hasn't cultivated his primordial spirit yet.

As long as he is not yet the Dao Lord, he still has room to struggle. If he makes a big fuss and attracts Lord Si Chong's attention, his master can't do anything about it.
Thinking of this, Shi Tianyi couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

'It's all just my guess.'

'What Master truly thinks, whether it's good or bad, I have no idea. I can only speculate wildly; it's truly unpredictable.'

Just then.

Deep within the sea of ​​clouds, a brilliant light suddenly rose from the bottom of the clouds, but it was neither majestic nor lofty; rather, it was rather ordinary.

"This is... a demon-taming creature?"

Shi Tianyi reacted immediately, looked around, and then frowned: "Something's not right, this light seems a little too weak."

As we all know, when cultivators activate their magical power, utilize their supernatural abilities, and manifest profound mysteries, they will emit a gentle magical light. The higher their level and the deeper their mysteries, the more magnificent and lofty the magical light will be. This is a characteristic that cultivators will naturally acquire as their realm increases.

Take the First Saint, for example.

Shi Tianyi can still recall the scene when the other party attained enlightenment in his youth and then summoned him, and when they looked at each other.

Was what he saw a person at that time?
Indeed, it had hands and feet, and was fully clothed and dressed, so it was undoubtedly a human being. However, the all-encompassing light of the Dharma clearly separated it from the human being.

It's less like a person and more like a silhouette.

He stood there, yet it seemed as if he existed simultaneously in the past, present, and future, in infinite time and space, and every word he uttered seemed to come from countless other voices.

'At my level, I simply cannot comprehend Master's realm.'

The most terrifying thing is that when he recalls that scene, his master in his memory seems to sense something and turns around to smile at him!
"!!!"

The next second, Shi Tianyi forcibly cut off his memories of the past and continued to examine the faint, ordinary yet familiar light.

"It is undoubtedly a demon-taming creature."

"He's just too weak. No, not weak. His pure power is actually at the True Monarch level. The problem is his rank. His rank is actually below the True Monarch level?"

Shi Tianyi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

What use is great power if one's rank is insufficient? Even the greatest power is illusory. A demon tamer could not possibly be unaware of this principle. What did he prove?
"and many more!"

Just then, Lian Tiandou suddenly exclaimed with some surprise. This cultivator, who was the boldest and most innovative among the four brothers, could not hide his excitement.

Almost simultaneously, Butianque also let out a soft "Eh".

Immediately afterwards, Shi Tianyi also noticed something was wrong. He saw that the heaven-piercing light of the Dharma was getting weaker and weaker, and finally it even turned into a mortal thing.

Is this still Faguang?

Shi Tianyi was surprised, but also became more serious.

It was clearly formed from mysterious magical power, yet it was almost as weak as the light of a candle in the mortal world. The fact that it was so weak actually highlighted its immense power.

Immediately, a strange change occurred.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the Dharma light, which had already fallen into the mortal realm, became even weaker, breaking through the bottom line of its mortal status!

However, this fall turned out to be a turning point!

The rolling ranks of beings regenerated from the light of Dharma, but instead of rising, they descended, drawing in endless darkness, as if connected to a bottomless abyss.

At the end of the abyss, there was a portal.

The gate stood there, seemingly supporting a world, yet it was shrouded in darkness. Intricate Daoist patterns were engraved on the gate, and ghostly soldiers and generals shuttled around it to protect it.

【gate of hell】.

Infinite mysteries converge on this gate, encompassing the entire world. Though it lacks the rank of a True Lord, it can bestow upon the rank of a True Lord, which only intensifies people's fear.

Above that gate, a young man stood quietly, his slightly immature face filled with emotion and a deep joy that lingered between his brows. He couldn't help but whisper, "It's done. From now on, even the dead will have the chance to be reincarnated, and many regrets can be made up for, so that death doesn't mean everything is in vain."

The boy is no longer the mischievous child he once was.

In fact, he had already stopped causing trouble when he was sixteen, and he had become humble and polite, no longer referring to himself as "Taoist Master" all the time.

And today, three hundred years later.

He had already traveled extensively throughout the world, witnessing the vicissitudes of life and the myriad aspects of human existence, and sincerely realized one thing: he was different from others.

He is a dragon, a phoenix, a chosen one of heaven.

Apart from him, even the most respected senior brother and master, from his perspective, could only be described as looking like a human, not too ugly.

As for Senior Brother Butian and Senior Brother Danding, they are among the ugliest-looking people.

Besides, 99% of the cultivators in this Sea of ​​Light are monkeys, not to mention mortals; the only ones worse than them are probably paramecia.

Therefore, Dao Tianqi couldn't help but think this:

'I should do something.'

'With such talent, I should do something for those who lack it; otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of the talent bestowed upon me by heaven?'

So he began to think.

【The Path of Demon Taming】? While the path his master created certainly had its merits, he always felt that its underlying principles were not quite right; enslaving outsiders was never to his liking.

He wanted to forge his own path.

He wanted to prove a path in vain.

And now, he has succeeded—but after the joy, worries gradually surfaced in his heart. After all, he hadn't listened to his master's words.

'If I had chosen the [Demon Taming Path] to prove myself as a True Lord, I might have been able to advance this path to a higher level. But now that I've chosen another path, the [Demon Taming Path] is useless; I can only remain at the current level of profundity. I wonder what Master thinks about this.'

You shouldn't be angry, right?
