Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 281 Demanding Gold, Lü Yang Releases His Struggle

As soon as Lü Yang finished speaking, the chilling killing intent in his words was terrifying. Even Suo Huan gave him a deep look, revealing a hint of surprise.

However, a look of understanding quickly appeared in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist, you are kind enough, but I am unable to help you."

Suo Huan shook his head. He knew Lü Yang dared to offend the Pure Land, but he didn't have the confidence to do so. He could only sigh. Lü Yang, seeing this, showed a thoughtful expression.

After a moment's thought, he finally spoke, "Fellow Daoist, forgive my bluntness, but your request for gold..."

Before Lü Yang could finish speaking, Suo Huan interrupted him directly, calmly saying, "I have survived overseas for six hundred years, and I have already thought of everything."

"This is nothing more than taking a gamble."

At this point, a hint of nostalgia appeared in Suo Huan's eyes: "I understand what you mean, fellow Daoist. It's simply that everyone is helping me to obtain gold, and they all have something to gain."

"I'm afraid they all have ill intentions."

"But this is the best method I can think of. If it is not done this way, and if all parties are willing to obstruct it, I will really have no chance at all."

"Back then, when I escaped from the [Huanxu Realm], I was favored by the Heavenly Dao and transformed into the [Lingxu Blessed Land] before it collapsed. It also deduced a book called 'The Dao Scripture of the Return of All Spirits to the Ruins' for me as a method to seek gold. As long as I use this secret method to devour a fruit position, I can revive the [Huanxu Realm]."

This is his obsession with calling, and also his helplessness.

“I am different from you, fellow Daoist. I do not have the concept of a Dao foundation, nor can I be reincarnated to cultivate again. Although my lifespan is long, I only have this one true self.”

"Your methods of seeking gold are all useless to me."

"Only this book, the 'Scripture of the Return of All Spirits to the Void,' is my path to enlightenment, not to mention the possibility of returning to my homeland. Therefore, I must take this path!"

Having said all that, Lü Yang could only cup his hands in a gesture of respect: "Then I wish you success, fellow Daoist."

Suo Huan nodded silently, then waved his hand.

The next second, Lü Yang felt dizzy and was sent out of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain. In the blink of an eye, he found himself in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Looking around, one is struck by a cluster of Buddha's light.

Upon seeing this, Lü Yang raised his eyebrows slightly and revealed a smile. Although Suo Huan said he couldn't help, he actually helped him out in private.

He presented himself to the Venerable Vimalakirti.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling beam of light pierced the sky from the direction of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain, reaching the Foundation Establishment stage and then rising even higher.

"The call for gold has begun!"

"An extraterrestrial cultivator... He's the first one!"

In an instant, all the Great Masters who were stationed within the Foundation Establishment Realm turned their heads to look, as the experiences of each gold seeker were worthy of their attention.

Inside the Yuanci Divine Mountain, Suo Huan stood with his hands behind his back.

A title inscribed with talismans suddenly appeared above his head, bearing the name "Duke of Zhenhai, Imperial Edict Protector of the Border," a first-rank title within the Daoist court!

It was precisely because of this official position that he was able to display the combat power of a fully established Foundation Establishment cultivator. Furthermore, through formations and other means, he managed to slay the Dragon Palace's eldest prince, Tianqiu. It was also because of this official position that he was able to stand before the threshold of seeking gold, thus taking the most crucial step:
Condensing the essence of metal!
The next second, a golden pattern appeared between Suo Huan's eyebrows, shaped like a crescent moon, with a distinctly illusory quality compared to the previous Chong Guang.

This is also normal.

After all, he condensed it with the help of external forces, while Chongguang was obtained through self-cultivation. The two are fundamentally different, and it would be more accurate to say that it was already a stroke of luck that he was able to condense it at all.

Fortunately, I have other means to make up for it.

Suo Huan exhaled a deep breath, looked up at the sky above, and seemed to see several supreme beings looking down at him silently.

He was not confused at all.

The [Sea-Stabilizing Pearl] at his waist was removed, and he communicated with it using his divine sense. The next second, a dazzling star in the sky lit up for him. [Long Flowing Water]!
Upon seeing this, Suo Huan immediately took out another jade bottle, and after uncorking it, a strong aura of water energy immediately emanated from the bottle.

【Heavenly Virtue and Benevolence Bestow Divine Water】!
Almost simultaneously, Suo Huan clearly felt the gazes falling on him suddenly become sharper, and even faintly revealed a hint of killing intent.

"[Angxiao], you really made your move!"

"We can't find the cause or when it was delivered to Suo Huan."

"It's alright, we expected this. After all, someone wants to prove [Chang Liu Shui], and he can't just sit idly by. Let's see what other tricks he can come up with."

In the infinite distance, several enormous divine consciousnesses intertwined.

Suo Huan was completely unaware of this and didn't care. He simply drank the [Heavenly Virtue and Benevolence Divine Water] in one gulp and then used his magic power to refine it.

【Heavenly Virtue and Benevolent Divine Water】is the treasure of 【Everflowing Water】, possessing the virtues of clarity and nourishment, as well as the wonder of benefiting the world and bestowing blessings. Consuming it can bring about a miraculous recovery from dire straits, prosperity and development, and benefit all things. Its imagery perfectly matches his current situation, instantly causing 【Everflowing Water】 to shine brightly!
"rise!"

The next second, Suo Huan gathered all his magical power, and the [Spirit Ruins Blessed Land] appeared behind him, reflecting Buddhist light. Then he rose from the ground and flew towards the fruit position!

Meanwhile, below, within the Foundation Establishment territory.

"What do you think are the chances of this summons succeeding?"

Venerable Vimalakirti shook his head and sneered, "You esteemed lords are watching from the heavens; how could you possibly watch a celestial cultivator beg for gold?"

"That's not how it works. Since the purpose of this is to prove the [Eternal Flowing Water] and shake the foundation of that being in the Underworld, you gentlemen may not care about some extraterrestrial cultivator. At worst, we can kill him later and let him reincarnate with his golden nature, so he can be a useful henchman in the future."

"It still has to be your Holy Sect."

During the conversation, Venerable Vimalakirti looked grim, since for Pure Land Buddhism, the biggest goal of this trip was actually to get Lü Yang to convert to Pure Land Buddhism.

In the end, all their efforts were in vain.

Even when he personally intervened, he achieved nothing, which inevitably greatly affected his status in the eyes of the Bodhisattva and made him unable to resist having other thoughts.

'Besides me, the Dao Court and the Sword Pavilion are also eyeing Lü Yang covetously.'

'While the True Lords are focused on demanding gold and guarding against the one from the Underworld, if I invite them to join forces, perhaps we can surround and kill that Yuan Tu?'

Thinking of this, Venerable Vimalakirti's mind immediately became active.

"Everyone."

He had just opened his mouth, but before his words could even escape his lips, he suddenly felt an indescribable force pulling him down, and his expression changed drastically.

The Venerable Vimalakirti's reaction was incredibly swift. Almost the instant he sensed a warning, he summoned a protective spiritual treasure—the lotus platform beneath him. At that moment, a beam of Buddhist light emanated from the lotus platform, firmly protecting him in the center, before exploding into a shower of shattered flames.

"who!"

The Venerable Vimalakirti's gaze shifted rapidly, only to discover that the attacking force was not just one, but dozens or even hundreds, and at a glance, it was a sword light as powerful as thunder!

'Sword Pavilion. No, it's that junior!?'

When Venerable Vimalakirti suddenly realized what was happening, he also showed a hint of disbelief. He never expected that Lü Yang would dare to come to him on his own initiative!
Do you really think you can kill him?
In an instant, Venerable Vimalakirti laughed in anger, immediately channeling his full magical power. His Buddha palm reappeared, directly deflecting the sky full of sword light and revealing the scene behind it.

Then he saw a majestic beam of light and shadow.

【The Dharma Body that encompasses all phenomena in the universe】!
The Dharma Body sat upright within the Foundation Establishment Realm, with three heads and six arms, a blue face and fangs, amidst soaring Xuan Fire, when a colossal hand that blotted out the sky fiercely reached out to grab him!
"."

Almost simultaneously, the other great masters who had just been having a pleasant conversation with Venerable Vimalakirti disappeared without a trace, leaving only Venerable Vimalakirti alone.

Rumble!
A loud bang echoed within the Foundation Establishment Realm. The colossal hand that blotted out the sky was stopped by Venerable Vimalakirti. The billowing Xuanhuo split outwards, revealing the young Taoist behind the Dharma Body.

Upon seeing this, Venerable Vimalakirti gritted his teeth and said, "Young man."

Lu Yang didn't bother to respond at all. He held his sword and made a hand seal, which immediately turned into a yellow light that crashed down on him like a mountain collapsing and the sky and earth overturning!
