Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 247 Human nature is hard to change, and so is the will of heaven and earth.

High above the sky, within the nearly collapsed [Dongyang Blessed Land], Chongguang stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the star in the sky with resentment and unwillingness.

【Covering the lamp with fire】.

Even now, this rank was still shining for him, but he was no longer able to resonate with it and could only watch it gradually dim.

Looking down at his four innate divine abilities, Chongguang saw that the Yin Dragon Water, which he had reversed back to Yang Earth, was now showing wisps of Yin energy again, which could not be eradicated. It was this last trace of Yin energy that caused his second attempt to fail again.

"A single step can make all the difference; truly worthy of the title of Holy Sect True Lord!"

In fact, the True Lord who reversed the [Chen Earth] had already completed all the steps. The depth of his plan spanned at least several thousand years, and his foundation was unimaginable.

"In comparison, my idea was just a spur-of-the-moment decision."

Thinking of this, a hint of resentment resurfaced in Chongguang's eyes. Yes, it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. If he had been prepared, the outcome might not have been like this.

"I have now reversed the zodiac sign of most of the [Chen Earth] in the world. The fact that I can do this shows that the foundation of that mysterious True Lord is still unstable. He may have started to reverse the [Chen Earth] thousands of years ago, but it will take at most a hundred years to truly complete the reversal and transform Yang Earth into Yin Earth!"

If he could go back a hundred years, the situation would certainly be very different!

After all, even though it was a hasty decision made on a whim, he was already close to success.

By leveraging the treasure of the Fruit Position to activate the [Covering Lamp Fire], and reversing the fate of the world [Chen Earth] back to Yang, it was almost achieved, but one thing was missing.

The original [Yin Earth of Chen].

The mysterious True Lord's initial reversal of Yin and Yang, the "Chen Earth," was also the foundation for his reversal of the world's "Chen Earth." Chongguang could not find the other party's location.

As a result, he failed because of this.

At the last moment, that mysterious True Lord used that [Chen Yin Earth] to influence Chongguang's [Yin Dragon Water], which caused him to fail at the last hurdle.

With this thought in mind, Chongguang glanced at the world below again: "Where did you hide the last [Chen Earth], the original [Chen Yin Earth]?"

At this moment, he was essentially looking down at the world from the perspective of a True Monarch. Whether it was the mortal world or the Foundation Establishment Realm, there should be nothing that could escape his sight. Yet, he just couldn't find the other party's existence. All the [Chen Earth] he saw had returned to Yang, and he couldn't find a trace of Yin Earth.

"Could it be that"

In an instant, Chongguang's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something. His eyes lit up for a moment, but then dimmed again: "It's no use. It's a dead end after all."

However, Chongguang quickly regained his spirits.

He did a quick calculation, then looked back and saw that the layers of fortune and merit that had hung behind his head, symbolizing his innate divine lineage, had disappeared.

"I'm still not used to it."

Chongguang smiled and calculated the result he wanted: "It seems that after death, I will have to be a pig or a dog for 147 lifetimes before I can be reborn as a human."

Despite this, there was no resentment on Chongguang's face, and there was even a self-deprecating smile on his lips: "I'm probably the only one born a celestial being who was reincarnated as a pig or a dog. The good news is that pigs and dogs die relatively quickly. One hundred and forty-seven reincarnations. Actually, it's not that long."

In other words, this was his last.

Even though he had already refined the metal element as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it was of no use at this moment.

Because the Golden Core True Monarch and the Foundation Establishment Perfection are different, the Golden Nature of the True Monarch has long been deeply rooted in the soul and body, and there is no distinction between you and me, so there is no mystery in the womb.

However, the metal element that has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment is like an external object and will be stripped away in the cycle of reincarnation. Therefore, even if one has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, one's lifespan is limited to five lifetimes.

Moreover, his metal element had already been completely depleted when he recommended the blessed land.

To survive, he would need a True Lord to protect him through reincarnation with his golden nature, but his Great Dao is already set, so he has no value to a True Lord anymore.

After all, the [Covering Lamp Fire] was cut off, and no one can verify it.

In this situation, even Qingcheng Feixue Zhenjun, who has always been his biggest supporter, wouldn't care about him. That's the Holy Sect for you; the Holy Sect never shows any sentimentality.

“Alright.” Chongguang quickly composed himself: “Reincarnation cleanses the soul. By the time I am reborn, the traces of the Great Dao on my body should be almost gone.”

Then he can find another way.

"Thinking about it this way, it might not be such a bad thing after all."

Although by then, the consciousness belonging to "Chongguang" will probably have dissipated, replaced by a completely new life and a completely new consciousness.

But so what?
Chongguang smiled calmly: "If I attain enlightenment, the original self and the other self are ultimately the same. If I do not attain enlightenment, the original self and the other self are actually no different."

"Never mind... go early and come back early."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chongguang's figure vanished beneath the last ray of light from [Covering Lamp Fire], shattering like a dream into a sky full of colorful clouds.

However, just before it collapsed, out of revenge against the mysterious True Lord who had blocked his path, Chongguang still managed to send out a divine consciousness.

Looking at the gradually disappearing [Covering Lamp Fire] in the sky, and the [Cave Yang Blessed Land] that collapsed and disintegrated into the world, Lü Yang couldn't help but sigh.

Recalling everything Chongguang had encountered along the way, he couldn't help but curse inwardly:
"You beast!"

What a terrible place this is! It's unbelievably difficult to even achieve the Golden Core stage. Every step is a trap, and one wrong step could lead to utter ruin like Chongguang.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang was overcome with grief. If it were him, having reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, spending countless years gathering the necessary Heavenly and Earthly Stars and cultivating his innate divine abilities, hoping to ascend to the throne, only to discover that the Heavenly and Earthly Stars were flawed, and the Great Dao, being unyielding, could not change it.
'...Oh right, can I restart it?'

That’s okay!

Thinking this through, Lü Yang quickly composed himself and regained his composure. The path to enlightenment is one of no regrets? That doesn't exist for me! As long as I want to walk, the path is right beneath my feet!

However, at that moment, Lü Yang suddenly froze.

The next second, he took out the [Invisible Sword]. The raw material of this superior spiritual sword was the immortal spirit body of True Person Chongguang, a strand of Xin metal energy.

But then, this aura of metal began to glow.

'These are... Chongguang's last words?'

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment, and was about to use his divine sense to check when a slightly hoarse, clear, and cold voice suddenly rang in his ears: "What did Chongguang say to you?"

Lu Yang's expression froze instantly, and only then did he belatedly turn his head.

But behind him, a woman in a palace dress covered in blood and with torn clothes had appeared out of nowhere. Despite her disheveled and battle-worn appearance, her demeanor was extremely dignified. She showed no signs of madness and instead resembled a beautiful woman about to attend a banquet.

—True Lord Qingcheng Feixue!
"Disciple pays respects to the True Lord!"

Immediately afterwards, he handed over the [Invisible Sword].

"This disciple has not yet had time to read Uncle Chongguang's message. I humbly request Your Excellency to take note."

"Chongguang. What a pity."

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Feixue shook his head, glanced casually at the [Invisible Sword], and sighed, "This information is useless and irrelevant to the overall situation."

"If it had happened a hundred years earlier, there might still have been room for a turnaround."

Oh?
Upon hearing this, Lü Yang's heart stirred slightly. A hundred years ago, wasn't that his first anchor point, when he had just joined the Holy Sect as a talent?

As Lü Yang noted down this crucial information, he glanced at the [Invisible Sword].

Perhaps because his time was running out, the message Chongguang left through the [Invisible Sword] was very simple, consisting of only four words, which can be described as concise and to the point:

"It is in [the underworld]."
