Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 355 The Sword Pavilion is too treacherous!
"If that's the case, then it makes sense!"

With the example of Ancestor Tingyou before him, the Ye family's [True Lord Chengtian Zhengde] will definitely take strict precautions against any possible threats to his Foundation Establishment.

Even their own direct descendants are no exception.

'Perhaps the Demon-Slaying Immortal was one of them. He achieved success in cultivating the [Wall Soil] technique, but was not tolerated by the True Lord, and was thus forced to switch to cultivating a first-grade true skill.'

He himself may not even know it.

After all, the Sword Pavilion has a secret method to eliminate past lives. If the True Lord personally takes action and does something during your reincarnation, you might even have to thank him.

'【Kendo Rank】...is truly a huge trap!'

Lü Yang concluded: 'So far, this cultivation technique is already very well-developed at the Foundation Establishment stage, which is why Sword Pavilion cultivators are very strong at this stage.'

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare claim to be the best in the world at fighting.

But what about the True Lord?

'Judging from the performance of [True Lord Chengtian Zhengde] in his previous life, at the True Lord level, the Sword Pavilion's combat strength is clearly not as high as imagined.'

'This is perhaps because the [Sword Dao Fruit] has not yet been proven, and therefore cannot enhance the combat power of True Monarch level cultivators. So, no matter how amazing a cultivator from the Sword Pavilion is at the Foundation Establishment stage, their performance will drop to a normal level once they reach the True Monarch level. But once the [Sword Dao Fruit] is proven, everything will be different.'

At that time, the power of swordsmanship will surely increase greatly, and it may even enhance the power of True Monarchs.

'However, that would also mean that the True Monarchs of the Sword Pavilion would absolutely not allow the [Sword Dao Position] to be exclusively enjoyed by anyone, or even to form a monopoly.'

Just like the underworld of the past.

Reincarnation is too important to be enjoyed by anyone alone. Therefore, the only fate of those who prove it is to be besieged and killed, leaving only the fruition of enlightenment.

In other words, whoever cultivates the "Sword Lord's Profound Talk on the Golden Secret Chapter" will only have two fates. Either they will become expendable material to fill a fruit position, or they will possess extraordinary talent, proving the "Sword Dao Fruit Position" for all the True Lords, and then perish like the Lord of the Underworld.

That's so insidious!

Lü Yang was truly amazed by Jian Ge's actions. On the surface, Jian Ge even made it look incredibly impressive, offering a top-tier true skill! They just gave it away for free by signing in!

Does the Jiangbei Demonic Sect meet these conditions?

This is the right path!
As for the fact that the cultivation method is a trap and you can't make money, sometimes you should look for the reasons within yourself. After all these years, is your talent enough? Have you been practicing diligently?
'They've really been sold out and are still counting the money for the Sword Pavilion!'

However, most people may not reach the point of seeking wealth even after a lifetime of hard work, and without reaching that point, it is difficult to discover the problems involved.

'I was able to discover it because I have both talent and hard work.'

If it weren't for Master You's help in understanding the situation, Lü Yang probably wouldn't have been able to see the insidious nature of this first-grade true skill, and would have even thought he had made a profit!
'Luckily, my main body didn't cultivate this technique. Sending my clone into the Sword Pavilion was definitely the right decision. Although the "Sword Lord's Mysterious Talk on the Secret of Gold Cultivation" is a real pain, I never expected my clone to seek gold anyway. So what if it cultivated it? As long as my main body doesn't cultivate it, it's not a big problem.'

Moreover, times change.

At that time, no matter how strong a sword cultivator was, they were only at the Foundation Establishment stage. A True Monarch could kill them with a single palm strike. Even if one cultivated to the peak of Foundation Establishment, they could not escape the inevitable fate of death.

However, the True Lord has now gone into seclusion!
'In this situation, the effect of this first-grade true skill is actually amplified, after all, it does provide cultivators at the Foundation Establishment level with very strong combat power.'

With this in mind, Lü Yang came to terms with it.

'Although the pitfalls are significant, this cultivation technique is truly near perfect at the Foundation Establishment level, having formed a complete cultivation system.'

Ordinary cultivators go through three stages: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core.

The same applies to sword cultivators, except they refer to it as the "Three Realms of Sword Dao": "Sword Qi Thunderous Sound," "Sword Heart Clarity," and "Sword Intent Refinement of Spirit."

'Sword energy, sword heart, sword intent!'

'The sword intent within is clearly intended to rival that of a Golden Core True Monarch, but unfortunately, the [Sword Dao Fruit] has not yet been proven, so the sword intent cannot reach the level of a True Monarch.'

'At most, it would be like the Demon-Slaying Master, significantly increasing his combat power.'

The Demon-Slaying Immortal's combat strength is the strongest among those who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage that Lü Yang has ever seen. Even his former Uncle-Master Chongguang is slightly inferior to him.

'However, Uncle-Master Chongguang seeks the Dao.' Overly pursuing combat power is putting the cart before the horse. After all, no matter how strong one's combat power is at the same level, if one's cultivation cannot keep up, it will ultimately be nothing but a reflection in water and a flower in a mirror.

"Huh? This is."

Suddenly, Lü Yang's gaze shifted slightly, landing on a page of the Taoist book:

"The cultivation method of sword cultivators, the secret technique of the sword box?"

As we all know, the foundation-building cultivation is a step-by-step process, and collecting the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends requires following a set procedure. However, this is cultivation in a universal sense.

Sword cultivators are completely different.

According to the "Sword Master's Secret Chapter on the Mystery of the Sword and the Golden Sword", after a sword cultivator establishes his foundation, the first thing he must do is collect various external medicines and forge a sword box.

The so-called sword box is essentially a secret treasure. Cultivators carry it with them and, through combat with others, absorb the killing energy of weapons into the box. After nurturing and refining it, it can eventually form a [Sword Divine Power]. Once fused, it can immediately break through to the next realm!

Lü Yang's face showed astonishment: "Incredible!"

'This isn't some kind of breakthrough technique; it's clearly an attempt to replace the uniqueness of the Heavenly and Earthly Fiends, and is probably part of the [Emptiness Proof] process!'

After all, if one truly attains the [Sword Dao Fruit], one will inevitably exist independently of heaven and earth.

If that's the case, how could one possibly break through using "Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends"? This can be seen from the clues in "Netherworld" and "Heaven Without Existence".

However, there are also significant drawbacks to doing so.

"How can there be no risk in a battle of wits, a fight to the death? The result is either killing or being killed, which is completely out of my style."

However, as the saying goes, every difficulty is overcome.

Where there are difficulties, there are shortcuts. The "Sword Master's Secret Chapter on the Mystery of the Golden Sword" also records a secret technique that uses a sword box to transform the innate supernatural powers cultivated in a previous life.

After all, innate supernatural abilities are proven once and for all. After the foundation of one's previous life is transformed, the remaining supernatural abilities are incompatible with the foundation of one's previous life, so they also need to be transformed.

'As long as one places the innate divine abilities honed in their previous life into the sword box, supplemented with external medicine, one can condense sword divine abilities even without engaging in fierce battles.'

'This one suits me perfectly!'

Of course, it was impossible for Lü Yang to take away the divine powers of the immortal spirit's original body and transform them.

What he wanted to transform were the two Taixu Divine Powers, 【The Essence of Flowers】 and 【Sea of ​​Sorrow】. Since they were obtained from his clones, he wouldn't feel bad about using them for transformation.

Moreover, unlike the Great Void Divine Power, the Sword Divine Power has a rank!

'With my innate divine abilities from my Dao Foundation, two sword divine abilities, and the profound [Mantra Holding], I can still allow my clone to falsely assume the position of a Great True Person!'

There aren't even any hidden dangers!
'Using the Void Divine Power to connect with the Myriad Spirits Banner, the fake Grand Master would not only suffer a backlash but also wouldn't last long. Switching to the Sword Divine Power would be more advantageous for me!'

Jiangnan, Hidden Sword Manor.

Lu Yang's true form opened his eyes, and his avatar immediately strode out, stretching his limbs freely in the sunlight, while simultaneously formulating his next plan.

'The clone's progress is on track.'

'However, my clone is only eight years old this year. Whether it's forging the sword box, transforming sword divine power, or returning to the Foundation Establishment stage, it all takes time. We can't rush it for now.'

"Calculating the time, it's almost time."

Lu Yang did some quick calculations with his fingers, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Skull Mountain!
Based on the experience of previous lives, at this point in time, Ancestor Tingyou, who is still struggling to survive in the Witch Ghost Realm in this life, should be about to break free!
"It's time to build upon my talent!"

　One more chapter, I'll post it later.
