Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 258 This time I'm really going to be a good person!
While the ideal is beautiful, the reality is still harsh. The cultivation of the "Heavenly All-Encompassing Dharma Body" is much more difficult than ordinary Taoist practices.

"The key to this is gas extraction."

"After all, only by mastering a cultivation technique can one cultivate a Dharma body, and the amount of celestial energy required to bring a cultivation technique to its peak is probably unimaginable."

Generally speaking, the higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it is to gather Qi.

The higher your cultivation level, the more severe the malice the Heavenly Realm will have towards you, and the more Qi you will need, making you more vulnerable to being targeted and killed by the Heavenly Realm.

Just as Lü Yang was pondering, he suddenly seemed to sense something and looked up into the distance. He saw an army of mortals approaching, with more than a dozen banners fluttering in the wind and a brilliant aura emanating from the soldiers, turning into red light that soared into the sky.

In an instant, the sky brightened!

The swirling blood and qi stirred the celestial phenomena, and each person had a corresponding destiny star. At this moment, they were all connected, transforming into a dazzling panorama of stars.

".oh."

Upon seeing this, Lü Yang narrowed his eyes, because the moment the opponent formed the array, he immediately felt a powerful suppression.

'This is...personal suppression!'

Originally, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Lü Yang was completely ineffective against the army unless the Dao Court used a formation to feign Foundation Establishment.

However, things are different now. After the opposing army formed a battle formation, it connected with the stars in the sky. The effect was completely different from the Dao Court's promotion of his rank. Instead of promotion, it reduced his rank, forcibly knocking down a part of his rank and even causing the light around his body to be reduced by half.

'What a brilliant tactic!'

Lu Yang was astonished, unaware that the generals of the opposing army were even more shocked to see Lu Yang display his magical power while facing a thousand troops.

"How can it be!"

The army's general was named Wu Changkong, the lord of Kaihuang City, the only city in the vicinity, and also the most powerful person in the surrounding hundreds of miles.

He is the [Earthly Star]

Legend has it that there are 108 demon stars in the world, which are the ultimate among the life stars. Those who are blessed by a demon star will surely possess extraordinary abilities, far surpassing ordinary martial artists.

Wu Changkong is such a person. As the [Earthly Star], he was born with golden eyes, a leopard's head and piercing eyes. He was born with divine power and his martial arts skills improved by leaps and bounds. At this moment, his blood energy was the strongest in the army. With the blessing of his destiny star, ordinary soldiers would be injured just by looking directly at him.

However, at this moment, he looked terrified.

The reason he hastily summoned his army to attack was because he discovered that the rift in the "divine revelation" was located within Tianzhu Mountain in his own jurisdiction.

If he can win the first round and kill his opponent, he can advance further!
Therefore, upon seeing Lü Yang, he mobilized his army almost without saying a word, thinking it would be an easy victory, but he did not expect Lü Yang to be so powerful.

However, he soon showed a look of doubt.

Wu Changkong stared intently at Lü Yang. He had initially thought that the other party was the Heavenly Demon recorded in the ancient books, but now he could sense the Destiny Star emanating from him.

What's even more outrageous is the level of that destiny star.

"[Villagers]?"

For a moment, Wu Changkong felt that it was utterly absurd.

The opponent's strength has clearly reached the level of 'sweeping away thousands of troops', and the next step is 'unstoppable by ten thousand men', making them a strong figure even among the demon stars!
So, the destiny star is actually the "villager"?
Despite this, Wu Changkong did not doubt Lü Yang's identity. After all, in his common sense, if someone had a destiny star, they were definitely not an extraterrestrial demon.

Thinking of this, Wu Changkong hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Immortal, there was a misunderstanding before. We came here to search for the extraterrestrial demon. Since you arrived first, you must have already seen the extraterrestrial demon. I wonder where it escaped to, so we can find a way to pursue and kill it."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang blinked, then his expression showed a look of sudden realization:
"I fought a great battle with that extraterrestrial demon, and she fled in that direction." Without hesitation, Lü Yang pointed in the direction where Master Miaoyin had left.

"Thank you, Immortal!"

Wu Changkong cupped his hands in greeting again, then turned and gave the order. The army obeyed the order and quickly chased after the direction where Master Miaoyin had left.

Lu Yang, however, was watching his back.

"interesting."

He had already begun to understand the system of the [Ten Thousand Martial Realm]. In fact, there were no cultivators in this realm; strictly speaking, they were all mortals.

The only difference is the ruling star.

"This destiny star is like another form of status, blessing mortals, but not increasing their lifespan, and even their outward manifestations are far from reaching the foundation-building level."

However, it has a disgusting ability: suppression. When there are enough destiny stars and they are linked together in an array, the stars are dazzling and can suppress the brilliance of other destiny stars. The power is so strong that even a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was originally high and mighty may fall to the mortal world because of this!
"A higher-ranking star has a suppressive effect on those below."

"However, when a sufficient number of lower-ranking ascendants gather together, they can overshadow the brilliance of higher-ranking ascendants, thus creating a delicate balance." That being said, there are exceptions.

"To create suppression through formation, you need at least [soldiers]. If you only have [villagers], you can't even form a formation."

In other words, the villagers are nothing but trash.

Their only value is farming every day to support the [Wu Zu] and those with higher destiny stars. They are the lowest in status, but also the most numerous.

It has a very strict pyramid structure.

However, Lü Yang saw something that could be used, since it was a realm with only one fruit position, and although the rules were strict, they were not yet mature.

At least in his view, there were still loopholes to exploit.

"The biggest drawback is that the difference based on the Destiny Star is not absolute; at least the difference between [Villager] and [Warrior] is not as vast as heaven and earth."

After a moment's thought, Lü Yang scanned the area with his divine sense and quickly spotted a group of refugees in the distance. He then cast a spell to ride a streak of light and sped away.

Those fleeing at this moment were naturally the villagers of Luojia Village. The long line of people walked silently without making a sound.

When people are extremely hungry, they won't speak.

They didn't even have the energy to complain, or perhaps they had gotten used to it. Instead of complaining, they were more concerned about how to get through the next few days.

After all, once they left the village, everyone lost their land and could no longer hunt in the mountains. Even if they had a little food left, they dared not eat it. They could only endure it, carefully eating a little bit after a day or two, or simply eating some tree bark to fill their stomachs. In any case, this was a magical ability that the villagers possessed.

The burly man and the boy were naturally among them. The burly man was a "military soldier," and even after retiring from the army, he was much better off than ordinary "villagers." Therefore, he was able to share some dry rations with the boy beside him. The boy was also very sensible. Although he was still hungry, he dared not finish the food in one bite.

"Grumpy"

His stomach made a dull groan, and the boy blushed, clutching his stomach. After all, he had just finished martial arts training and needed plenty of nutrition.

Unfortunately, even the mighty Han Dynasty had no surplus grain.

"Bear with it," the big man said in a low voice. "The affairs of Tianzhu Mountain are not something we can get involved in. The beast tide is coming, and staying in the village is a dead end."

"I'll think of something once we get into the city."

"master."

Just then, a fair hand suddenly reached out, holding two white candies in its palm, accompanied by a soft call:
"Do you want to live?"

The burly man and the boy were stunned. When they looked up, they saw a handsome young Taoist priest who could instantly win people's favor.

However, the burly man quickly became alert: "Who are you?"

"You don't need to know my name."

Lu Yang shook his head, then smiled and said, "Aren't you hungry? Use this to fill your stomachs. You won't feel hungry anymore after you eat it."

It was only then that the big man realized that everyone around him had been given "candy beans" by Lü Yang. After all, not everyone had any spare food. In any case, the villagers could eat anything, and as long as they could fill their stomachs, they didn't care about anything else. They grabbed the candy beans and wolfed them down.

Then something amazing happened.

"Can I eat dirt now?"

"You can eat grass too!"

"smell good!"

Those who had eaten the candy beans sometimes started eating dirt, sometimes grass, and sometimes tree bark, but none of them were as hungry as before.

Originally, eating tree bark, grass, and soil was just to fill their stomachs. Although it gave them a feeling of being full, it was actually just an illusion. However, looking at the villagers now, after eating, they were all energetic and their bodies were becoming stronger at a visible speed!
The burly man grew increasingly horrified: "What kind of sorcery is this?"

"This is not sorcery." Lü Yang shook his head, revealing his destiny star, and the large [Villager] immediately attracted the surprised gazes of everyone.

“We are all villagers, there is no difference between us.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Yang grinned and said, "Come with me. I'll take you to eat and create a world where no one has to go hungry anymore."

This time, he really wants to be a good person!
