Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 365 It Begins with Me! (Fourth Update)

"You think you can fight me with this?"

Lu Yang pressed down on the sword light, stretched out his hand, and immediately pulled out two streams of light from the spiritual tide formed by the disintegration of the two Wan Du Sect True Persons' physical bodies.

It was clearly their Gu worm.

【Dragon Centipede Gu】.

【蟪蛄蛊】.

The former is clearly a supernatural Gu similar to a Dharma body, which can transform a person into a different kind of dragon centipede, and it does have some of the power of a real dragon, but that's all.

The latter is more interesting.

"The ephemeral mushroom does not see the dawn and dusk, the cicada knows not the spring and autumn."

Lu Yang held the [Cicada Gu] in his hand. At first glance, it looked like a delicate golden cicada, which emitted a cicada chirping sound as he infused it with his magic power.

Suddenly, Lü Yang raised an eyebrow, for amidst the cicada's chirping, he clearly felt a subtle decay occurring within his body. His magical energy circulated faster, as if time itself was slowly slipping away from him, and even his once jet-black hair was streaked with frost.
".snort!"

The next second, Lü Yang smiled coldly, flicked his fingertips, and instantly unleashed a [Sword Qi Thunder Sound], which dispelled the eerie cicada chirping.

Looking back, what decay was there?
The jet-black hair was completely different; the wrinkles and decay that had appeared with the passage of time had all disappeared, as if everything that had just happened was nothing but an illusion.

"interesting."

Lu Yang stroked his chin, pondering the mystery of this [Cicada Gu]. Its foundation lies not in magical power, but solely in the thought of the person afflicted by the Gu.

"Appearance reflects the heart; if you believe, it exists; if you don't, it doesn't. This Gu worm can create an illusion that is almost indistinguishable from reality. Once the person infected by the Gu believes it, the illusion immediately becomes real. If they don't believe it, it's just a dream. This Gu worm is much more advanced than the [Dragon Centipede Gu]."

The only drawback is that this Gu worm has an extremely short lifespan.

It is born in spring and dies in summer, and born in summer and dies in autumn. Therefore, it is usually dormant and will only be revived when needed. It should not be used lightly.

'No wonder among the three fortune sticks I just drew from the [Fortune Telling] divination, there's a possibility that I'll never be able to win them.'

After all, if used properly, the [Cicada Gu] can be quite powerful.

Whether injured, depleted of magic power, or facing other predicaments, as long as one firmly believes in the illusion they have created, they can easily smooth over the crisis.

'It's a pity you ran into me.'

Such a wondrous Gu worm, before it could truly unleash its power, was instantly killed by Lü Yang in one fell swoop, lacking any martial ethics. It possessed great power but had no opportunity to use it.

"It's mine."

Lu Yang reached out and easily took the [Cicada Gu] into his possession. The only pity was that neither of them had the Wan Du Sect's method of controlling Gu worms.

"That's true, very few people would carry such confidential information on their person."

Thinking of this, Lü Yang paused slightly.

In fact, if he wanted to, he could bring the Myriad Spirits Banner through the [Heavenly All-Encompassing Dharma Body] and subdue these two True Persons of the Myriad Poisons Sect.

When the time comes, we can find out any secrets about the cultivation techniques by asking around.

However, after thinking it over, Lü Yang gave up.

'There's no need. Since the clone has already entered the Sword Pavilion, it shouldn't leave any trace related to the main body. It's best to sever ties cleanly.'

"Besides, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Who knows if someone's watching me right now!"

In the heart of a military camp shrouded in layers of clouds and filled with swords and spears, Wu Tai'an, the "King of Zhennan" of the Dao Court, calmly withdrew his gaze.

"They actually won!"

Wu Tai'an stroked his chin, somewhat surprised: "To be able to recover to the peak of the mid-stage Foundation Establishment after just reaching Foundation Establishment, this person's background in his previous life must be quite impressive."

He was a member of the Daoist royal family. The current emperor was his elder brother, and the crown prince was his nephew. His bloodline endowed him with a pair of blue eyes that were naturally able to look up at the heavens and down into the netherworld. Compared to others, he possessed an innate supernatural ability that did not have a rank, and seeing thousands of miles away was a piece of cake for him.

"Sword Pavilion has produced another powerful sword cultivator."

Wu Tai'an sighed, but his expression gradually turned gloomy, and he said in a low voice, "Looking at this world, how many heroes are there?"

"The Holy Sect was the most amazing."

"With just one [True Lord Chaozhen], who broke the shackles of five thousand years and ushered in a sixty-year era of great contention, which True Person in the world doesn't owe him a favor?" "The Sword Pavilion is equally unwilling to lag behind."

"Ye Guangji, the Demon-Slaying Master, is the number one swordsman in the world today. I can't even think of anyone in the Foundation Establishment stage who can withstand three of his sword strikes. He is so strong that it is simply unreasonable."

"Not to mention the Pure Land, with the birth of a Buddha's disciple, the [Buddha-land on earth] is just around the corner."

"Even overseas."

At this point, Wu Tai'an suddenly flew into a rage and slammed his hand on the table: "Even overseas, there's now a powerful rogue cultivator from outer space!"

The Holy Sect, Jiange, and Pure Land all had outstanding figures of their time.

Talented people also emerge from overseas.

"But what about us?"

What about the Daoting?
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Tai'an's adjutant, standing beside him, couldn't help but cautiously say, "Your Highness, don't we also have a Crown Prince regent?"

These words only fueled Wu Tai'an's sneer: "Crown Prince? A useless, incompetent figure who holds a position without doing any work! He's probably just waiting for His Majesty to pass away so he can meet the founding emperor and then rightfully inherit the throne. That's all he's ever accomplished!"

"It's a bit of a stretch to ask him to guard Chengdu."

"Let him go and expand the territory while he seeks a high-ranking position? That's giving him too much credit! Let alone a high-ranking position, he probably wouldn't even dare to claim a nominal one!"

"As for all the officials in the court, every single one of them is an unparalleled coward!"

"How can we govern Jiangdong well or manage the Daoting well while surrounded by these insects?"

Wu Tai'an's cursing was incredibly satisfying.

However, his adjutant was terrified, wishing he were deaf, and could only pretend he hadn't heard anything.

But the next second, his expression changed.

After he finished cursing, Wu Tai'an's expression suddenly became calm: "Back then, [True Lord Chaozhen] established sixty years of peace and tranquility."

Ten years have passed since then.

"Yet the world remains the same. Although undercurrents are surging, no one has ever truly taken that step. Do you know why?"

"Why?" the lieutenant asked in a low voice.

"Because they're afraid!"

Wu Tai'an grinned: "Can you guarantee the truth of what [True Lord Chaozhen] said? Have you all truly gone into seclusion? Have you left any backup plans?"

"These are all unknowns!"

"Some might even suspect that this is all a scheme orchestrated by the True Lords, an attempt to dig up and uproot the seedlings they've nurtured for five thousand years."

The more Wu Tai'an spoke, the more the deputy general broke out in a cold sweat.

Is it possible that these things are true?

Of course!
Needless to say, that [True Lord Chaozhen Taixu] comes from the Holy Sect! That alone is enough to make all the True Immortals in the world have doubts.

However, the next second, Wu Tai'an changed the subject:
"If you ask me, they're all cowards!"

"Waiting today, waiting tomorrow, when will we ever get there? Little do they know that the sooner we act, the greater the opportunity! The later we seek wealth, the more dangerous it becomes!"

"After all, [True Lord Chaozhen] is only a newly promoted True Lord. It is said that he can hold out for sixty years, but who can say for sure? If he can hold out for thirty years against all the True Lords in the world, I would be grateful for his skill! It is even possible that he is already on the verge of death and his time is coming soon!"

After saying this, Wu Tai'an stood up.

"My lord."

The lieutenant seemed to have anticipated something and tried to persuade him in a low voice, but after seeing Wu Tai'an's calm and dignified expression, he silently lowered his head.

"Holy Sect, Sword Pavilion, Pure Land, how could the overseas regions be without my Dao Court?"

Wu Tai'an smiled and said, "All the masters in the world are watching and waiting, not daring to ask for gold. They are all waiting for someone to take the lead. If that's the case, then I will be the first one to do so!"

"Throughout history, those who have sought power and wealth have invariably achieved it through martyrdom. Now that the True Lord is in seclusion, I have not heard of anyone who has died for wealth; this is why the world is not prosperous. If such a person were to appear, it would begin with me!"
