Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 343 One Person's Perseverance

The sea of ​​clouds reaching the sky and the Holy Fire Cliff.

Golden light surged from the ground, and the lights shone brightly, illuminating countless mysterious patterns that bustled towards the center and gathered around a figure.

He wore a crane-feather cloak, a smile playing on his lips, and gently waved a feather fan, looking dashing and debonair.

Just by standing there, it's as if it has stolen all the blessings, wealth, and even luck in the world, making people involuntarily feel resentment.

Taoist Hongyun!

This reincarnated True Lord finally revealed some of his former glory at this moment, and a look of nostalgia appeared in his eyes as he looked up at the sky.

"How long has it been?"

—Five thousand years.

For five thousand years, he had not seen the [Covering Lamp Fire]. Despite being the reincarnation of a True Lord, he seemed to have been abandoned by his position, and was in a state of utter disgrace.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth: 'Ang Xiao!'

At this moment, Hongyun's resentment towards Angxiao was so intense that even a raging river could not wash it away.

After all, ever since he retrieved the "True Explanation of the Inner Observation of Heaven and Earth" and the "Shanghao Golden Cup Jade Light", he has recalled the memories that were stripped away in the past.

Both methods are fine, because Hongyun himself has left hidden measures in the methods to ensure that only he can use them and that no outsiders will tamper with them. Otherwise, he would not be so bold as to directly ask for gold with just these two methods.

We cannot let our guard down yet.

Hongyun was alert, fully aware of the impact his pursuit of gold would have on Angxiao, and it was conceivable that Angxiao would stop him at all costs.

And just then.

"Boom!"

On the Gantang Road in Jiangnan, within the fragments of the cave, as the renewed light activated the magical instruments on his body, Hongyun immediately sensed that the gaze of [Covering Lamp Fire] had shifted.

"Hmm? It's Shigemitsu."

Upon seeing this, Hongyun Daoist frowned. Although it was not yet time to fail, Chongguang's interference had created an unexpected variable.

Thinking of this, he immediately looked at the spot not far to his side.

There, dressed in the attire of a lady, the dignified and elegant Qingcheng Feixue Zhenjun stood with her hands clasped, unmoved by Chongguang's appearance.

"Fellow Daoist, why is this so?"

Hongyun couldn't help but ask, after all, he had already abandoned Chongguang and bet on himself, so why was Chongguang still able to make these underhanded moves?
However, to Hongyun's surprise, Qingcheng Feixue Zhenjun not only did not offer an explanation upon hearing this, but also gave him a disdainful look before calmly saying, "Instead of asking me, you should think about how to regain your position and gain attention as soon as possible. In the end, a person still has to rely on themselves!"

"What I need are fellow Daoists who are capable of being used."

"He's not incompetent!"

The implication is clear: Chongguang was someone she indulged!

Admittedly, Chongguang had been abandoned by Qingcheng Feixue Zhenjun, yet she did not stop him from seeking another path, and even chose to acquiesce!
At this moment, even the Taoist Hongyun could only take a deep breath and swallow his words:
'This concerns her cultivation path, whether she can reach the late Golden Core stage. One wrong step and everything will be lost. Such an important matter... and she's still making futile insistence!'

'That crazy woman!'

Why is Qingcheng Feixue Zhenjun called "Crazy Woman" by all the Zhenjun under heaven?

Just because she enjoys fighting? Or is she a bit neurotic? Don't be ridiculous. The Holy Sect is full of talented people; someone like her wouldn't even rank among the top in the Holy Sect.

The real reason is: she has her own principles!

She firmly believes that "people must rely on themselves," and she practices this concept from Qi cultivation to foundation building and then to the Golden Elixir stage, never wavering from beginning to end.

What kind of world is this?
Either you eat people or you get eaten. How can someone become a True Lord in this way? They either have no bottom line or no principles. Principles are just a lack of bottom line.

However, Qingcheng Feixue Zhenjun is different.

She actually has principles!

For this principle, for the sake of her inner conviction, she was even willing to set aside her spiritual path, which Hongyun found utterly incomprehensible.
If this isn't madness, then what is?
"That's all."

Hongyun took a deep breath and quickly regained his composure: 'This place has long been the focus of the True Lords, so there's no big problem. The advantage is still with me!' However, just then...

"Kacha!"

With a crisp explosion, a vast expanse of purple aura appeared out of thin air in the sky above Jiangbei, covering the entire area and surging towards Hongyun!

The underworld, an indescribable place.

This is a palace located in the cycle of reincarnation. The palace itself is extremely unique in its construction. The material is called "Kunshan Jade," which is a spiritual material of the metal element.

It belongs to the category of "white wax gold".

The palaces built from this material embody the light of the sun and moon, and gather the energy of yin and yang. They are bright and pure, and are the true color of gold, possessing the wonder of nurturing life through form.

Within the palace, a long river flows, its beginning and end nowhere, boundless and limitless.

This is 【Long Flowing Water】.

Looking out, one sees the surging river, its waves crashing and blocking out a space where dragons and snakes coil and hide, thus supporting the entire palace.

This is 【soil in sand】.

Upon entering the palace, one can see a golden lamp, its dim light illuminating the hall and revealing a figure shrouded in mist.

【Covering the Lamp with Fire】!
Four different levels of power intertwined in this place: fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood. In the end, they together formed an unimaginable curtain that completely concealed the operation of the entire underworld, drawing out this territory of moderate size from the land of reincarnation.

【Big Forest Tree】!
"pity."

Inside the palace, Angxiao stood with his hands behind his back, the mist around him still lingering, while he stroked a lifelike wooden puppet in his hand.

"Back then, I only left behind this [A Body Beyond the Laws of the World] just in case, but I never thought it would be useful one day. It shows how many heroes there are in the world. Now it seems that I was too hasty back then and didn't prepare enough trump cards."

Undeniably, he is now trapped in the Underworld.

However, this is because he wanted to advance to the Dao Lord level, which is why he trapped himself in this situation. It does not mean that he is completely unable to leave or has no means at all.

"With it, it's enough to take me on a trip."

His physical body cannot leave.

However, with his blessing, the [Worldly Lawless Body] can also exert combat power far exceeding that of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, which is more than enough to stop a Hongyun.

"That being said, it wasn't my true form that made the move. With the True Monarchs of the world blocking my way, I also needed time to gradually suppress them and find an opportunity to stop Hongyun. If it weren't for Chongguang buying me time, Hongyun might have actually managed to escape."

Unfortunately, the "External Body of Retribution" can only be used once.

Once you go to the mortal world and engage in a great battle, your vital energy will be so strong that even the barrier of perception cannot conceal it. When you return to the Underworld, you will inevitably be crushed into dust by the cycle of reincarnation.

"Fine, let's go!"

"Boom!"

Purple mist filled the sky, eventually transforming into an eye that blotted out the sun, looking down upon heaven and earth before finally fixing its gaze directly on Hongyun.

Although Angxiao's gaze was focused on Hongyun, even the aftershocks still made cultivators all over the world feel heavy pressure.

Even Lü Yang, who was at the South Heavenly Gate, was no exception.

"really.!"

Lu Yang looked up at the sky, not surprised by Angxiao's move. Rather, this was the reason he had predicted that Hongyun's attempt to obtain gold would be difficult.

Although he was unaware of the existence of the [Bai Shi Fa Wai Shen], he knew that in his previous life, [Ang Xiao] had once intervened because Chong Guang was seeking gold, single-handedly fighting against multiple True Lords to a draw. Since he could intervene in his previous life, there was no reason why he couldn't intervene in this life.

'My chance has come!'

The next second, a light appeared in Lü Yang's eyes. Without a doubt, at this moment, the attention of the True Monarch of the World was only focused on the matter of seeking gold with good fortune.

Nobody will pay attention to him anymore.

'Take this opportunity to reincarnate and deliver [Shenjin] into the original body!'
