Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 228 Absorbing Metal Element, the Changes in the Book of a Hundred Generations!

"Golden Pill"

Watching the Chongguang Zhenren and his Dongyang Blessed Land soar higher and higher towards the [Covering Lamp Fire], Lü Yang couldn't help but look away with envy.

'No rush, my day will come eventually too.'

With the Book of a Hundred Generations in his possession, Lü Yang has never doubted his future. As long as he follows the steps and takes one step at a time, he will surely reach the pinnacle!

Of course, that's for the future.

"It's too far off to think about the Golden Core now. Let's see what we've gained first." Lu Yang turned his gaze to the golden essence left behind by True Immortal Chongguang.

Then he froze.

Just then, the illusory panel of the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] suddenly appeared out of thin air, swallowing the golden energy like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey.

‘Fuck! ’

At that moment, Lü Yang was almost scared out of his wits. The Golden Nature was already conspicuous, not to mention that since True Person Chongguang was breaking through, at least two-thirds of the True Lords in the world were observing him openly or secretly. As a result, the Hundred Lifetimes Book directly swallowed the Golden Nature. Wasn't this a clear indication that there was a problem?

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

He was terrified that someone would suddenly shout "What are you doing?" from behind him, and then he would be grabbed by a giant hand that fell from the sky and instantly refined.

A moment later, Lü Yang let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

No one came.

'It has to be you again, [The Book of a Hundred Generations]!'

The cheat code really makes a difference! He managed to devour a golden essence right under the noses of so many True Lords without being detected, which undoubtedly put Lu Yang at ease.

However, after feeling relieved, doubts arose in his mind. Since he transmigrated, the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes had never shown any interest in anything other than him. This was the first time it had actively devoured something external, which made him think: Could metal be able to replenish the pages of the book?

A hundred generations is still too few!

In this desolate place, every step of cultivation is like walking on thin ice. Lu Yang is confident that he can achieve the Golden Core stage in a mere hundred lifetimes, but he has no confidence whatsoever in reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

But if the gold can supplement the number of pages, then it doesn't matter.

After all, he already has two gold-attribute refresh points, "Rebirth" and "Innate Dao Sin," which he can harvest every time he lives.

It's like having unlimited life!

Thinking of this, Lü Yang excitedly looked at the interface of the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes], but as the information flowed into his mind, his expression became strange.

The bad news is that Jinxing cannot add more pages.

The good news is—

'Settling accounts for other people's lives?'

Lu Yang looked at the data on the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] interface, a strange expression on his face: 'Metal element is useless to the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes], what's useful are the experiences within it.'

The so-called "golden nature" is the essence of a person's soul. It is the true self that is refined from a person's thoughts, experiences, and everything else throughout their life. It contains the entirety of a person's life, which is what the "Book of a Hundred Lifetimes" wants to devour. It is like a virtual simulation!

After absorbing something, the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] can calculate the outcome of that life.

'This settlement is different from the settlement after each restart. You can't bring back treasures or cultivation points; the only thing you can bring back is your innate talent based on your life's potential.'

"This is good stuff!"

In an instant, Lü Yang's eyes lit up. Although he was a little disappointed that he couldn't bring back his cultivation and treasures, he was still very impressive to have been able to calculate his talent!
He had always been well aware of just how powerful the talent provided by the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes was.

Unfortunately, each time he was reborn, he had something more important to exchange for, so he had not drawn his talent until now. But this time was different!

'Chongguang's talent is definitely gold!'

He was, after all, a Great True Person who had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, and his rich life experience was absolutely legendary. He was also a Golden Talent.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang immediately had an idea.

Settle the account!

The next second, a faint light began to appear on the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes], and the light transformed into streams of data, eventually revealing densely packed characters.

[Settling the "Rebirth" experience.] [As a "Xin Metal Qi," one of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, you obtained a great opportunity, unexpectedly developing sentience and becoming a naturally born and nurtured immortal spirit.]

"...Fairy Spirit?"

Lu Yang paused, recognizing this thing. The Blood Demon True Man had been punished by Heaven for accidentally killing a Celestial Spirit.

Immortal spirits are creatures born of heaven and earth, their status and abilities are innate. As long as they develop intelligence, they can receive the blessings of heaven and earth, making them natural Foundation Establishment cultivators. At the same time, the strength of an immortal spirit is also fixed, depending on its background before it develops intelligence. The strongest immortal spirit can even be comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak.

Is the True Man Chongguang actually a reincarnation of a celestial being?

"No wonder his Daoist name is [Chongguang], which is an alternative name for the Xin Metal Qi. With such a profound background, it's no wonder he was valued by the Holy Sect True Monarch."

Meanwhile, the settlement details from Best Book are still emerging.

As a celestial being, you are very ambitious. You are unwilling to accept that your strength cannot improve, so after careful consideration, you reincarnated and joined the First Saint Sect.

You have gained the favor of the Holy Ancestor True Lord.

[You have successfully completed the foundation building process and have finally reached the most crucial step in your life: ascending to the throne and seeking wealth. If you succeed, you will transcend worldly concerns; if you fail, you will continue to sink into despair.]

Thinking about this, you are filled with determination.

The data flow abruptly stopped here, perhaps because the time when Master Chongguang refined this golden essence also happened at this point, so there was no further development.

Soon, all the data streams began to collapse, converge, and finally—

Golden light burst forth!

Wow! A golden legend!

Lü Yang immediately perked up and stared intently at the information on the panel:

[You have acquired the Golden Talent: Innate Celestial Spirit.]

[Born Celestial Spirit: When you reincarnate, you can use this talent to change your origins and acquire a "Celestial Spirit" identity.]

'A talent that can only be used in reincarnation.'

Lu Yang realized the power of this talent almost immediately—it was a Celestial Spirit! Blessed by heaven and earth, its comprehension, talent, and luck were all maxed out!

But he quickly frowned again.

'It's not that there are no flaws; does changing my origins mean I have to start from scratch? With a celestial body, does starting from a different point in life mean starting from a different place?'

Currently, he only has two starting locations: the day he first entered the Holy Sect and Luofeng Mountain after he established his foundation. In a sense, the golden talent [Innate Immortal Spirit] is equivalent to giving him a temporary starting point, which can only be used once and cannot be restarted.

At first glance, it seems useless.

However, Lü Yang saw the key point: being designated as a "Celestial Spirit" meant that he might not remain within the Holy Sect!

There's definitely a lot of potential to make something out of this!
'After all, if I want to cultivate and achieve first-grade true qi in the future, and follow the path of [Emptiness Proof], I must find a way to gather ideas from all sides and learn from the strengths of various schools of thought.'

But his current foothold is too strong.

He started as a disciple of the Holy Sect, with impeccable lineage. Apart from the Pure Land, which was willing to accept him, the Sword Pavilion and the Dao Court would absolutely never accept him to surrender.

However, with the [Born Immortal Spirit], everything changed.

After all, they were born of nature, so who could have a more innocent background than a fairy spirit?

Overseas, Sword Pavilion, Dao Court—if he wanted, he could start from other forces and then return to the Holy Sect without any cause or effect!
Thinking about this, Lü Yang became somewhat excited.

But at this moment.

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly, a deafening thunderclap exploded in the sky, echoing not only in the present world but also spreading across the Foundation Establishment Realm on the back of the wind.

Immediately afterwards, everyone heard a piercing, desperate, and indignant roar:

"Do not--!!!"
