Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 368 This Gu is destined for my Sword Pavilion!

Almost at the same time as the earth dragon turned over, Lü Yang lowered his eyelids, opened his Dharma Eyes, and looked through the earth's crust towards the source of the tremor.

The numerous rock layers could not obstruct his view.

The first thing that catches the eye is a large array that slowly rotates, severing the secrets of heaven and obscuring cause and effect, with extremely complex and profound changes within it.

He had just scanned the area with his divine sense but found nothing. In fact, if it weren't for the earthquake that caused the originally perfectly functioning and interconnected array to become slightly misaligned, he would probably still be in the dark, unable to notice the thing right in front of him!
'It really is good stuff.'

Lu Yang's heart stirred slightly, and his gaze continued to extend, quickly passing through the gradually weakening formation and seeing the scene hidden within.

—That was a pool of liquid.

A moon-white radiance flowed in the pool, and Lü Yang recognized it almost instantly. It was the essence of Taiyin, the origin of the Eight Stones, and it was [Xin Metal].

However, this is merely an embellishment.

As one of the Heavenly and Earthly Fiends, the value of [Xin Metal] is beyond doubt. However, at this moment, all its mysteries are overshadowed by a point of golden light in the pool.

Like a crane standing among chickens.

Lu Yang's gaze fell on that point of golden light, and in an instant he felt his divine sense burning up, as if he were looking directly at the rising sun with his mortal eyes!

'【Fierce Calamity Wave】!'

With a thought, Lü Yang used the miraculous power of [Insight] to calm his mind and dispel the burning sensation in his consciousness, allowing him to see the scene before him clearly.

It was a silkworm.

Its color is pure gold, like a spark, but once you go deeper inside, what you see is an endless raging fire.

These golden silkworms, which appear to be no bigger than a fingertip, are actually covered with intricate and dense patterns that change color and shape every second. Each pattern symbolizes a type of Gu worm, and the creation of each Gu worm is a miracle between life and death. They are now piled together.

The next second, the information naturally surfaced in Lü Yang's mind:
'【Eternal Calamity Gu】!'

Without the protection of the formation, the secrets of this Gu worm could no longer be concealed. Lü Yang simply calculated with his fingers and immediately understood the origin of this thing.

'This is the supreme Gu worm of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.'

"【Eternal Calamity Gu】is merely a false name used to conceal the secrets of heaven. Its true name is 【Eternal Calamity Indestructible Golden Silkworm】!"

'From its very inception, it has been kept strictly guarded and never leaked. Generations of cultivators have nurtured it until today, and it has finally come into being.'

As for its function, it's quite simple.

--breakthrough.

This silkworm is a treasure specifically designed to help one break through to the Foundation Establishment Perfection stage! Just this one can increase the chances of achieving Foundation Establishment Perfection by a full 30%!

"In the late Foundation Establishment stage, a True Person must undergo the Heavenly Tribulation, being struck by heavenly lightning to reforge their Dao foundation. However, the three calamities of wind, fire, and thunder end in the late Foundation Establishment stage. Logically speaking, this step represents the limit of heaven and earth, and the Heavenly Tribulation itself carries a subtle warning."

The monk was warned: You can only go this far; you cannot go any further.

If a cultivator insists on pursuing the perfection of Foundation Establishment, what they will attract will no longer be the Three Calamities, but a great calamity called the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man"!

'The gathering of the five supernatural powers is intolerable to Heaven and Earth.'

'Therefore, there are the "Five Signs of Decay of the Celestial Being," which cause defilement of the physical body, staining of the foundation of one's spiritual path, withering of supernatural powers, loss of magical strength, and the arising of inner demons, until complete annihilation!'

Only by overcoming this hurdle can one achieve the complete foundation building stage.

Only then can one hope to refine one's golden nature, and even create a blessed land, soaring upwards to attain enlightenment.

If you can't make it through, you'll just be a handful of dust.

If the world had shown some tolerance towards cultivators before, then the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man is a true divine punishment, a method of extermination filled with murderous intent!

Therefore, achieving the completion of Foundation Establishment is not something that can be achieved simply by gaining an extra supernatural power.

To date, only the Dao Court has been able to fake the completion of the Foundation Establishment stage, and even within the Dao Court, the official position of someone who has reached the completion of the Foundation Establishment stage is extremely precious.

This shows how precious the Foundation Establishment Perfection is. Similarly, it goes without saying how precious the rare treasures that can help people break through to the Foundation Establishment Perfection are. Thinking of this, a brilliant light suddenly flashed in Lü Yang's eyes.

【The Indestructible Golden Silkworm】!
The purpose of this Gu worm is to help people overcome the "Five Signs of Decay"!
'This insect, once mastered, can only be used once. It can create a golden cocoon for the Gu master, locking down all their states within it.'

Even the "Five Signs of Decay" (a period of severe decay in Chinese mythology) cannot affect it.

'In this way, the Gu Master can patiently endure the Five Signs of Decay within the golden cocoon, and then emerge from the cocoon once the tribulation is over, thus achieving success!'

Without a doubt, this is an irresistible temptation for any great master.

But Lü Yang held back.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the [Indestructible Golden Silkworm], he remained as steady as Mount Tai, only slightly frowning before smiling disdainfully:

"What do you think it is?"

"It was so tightly covered up, I thought it was a superior magic sword, but it turns out to be such an external object. That's how small sects are, they don't know much."

His words were full of contempt.

However, after hearing these words, Longyue breathed a sigh of relief, and the divine power that she had been preparing to unleash, just waiting for Lü Yang to make a move, was also slowed down.

He doesn't want it.

'That's a priceless treasure that can help someone reach the peak of Foundation Establishment. He doesn't even want it? But it's better he didn't try to take it; his pride is actually a good thing for me.'

Even so, Oborozuki couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

What about external things?
In this world, realm is still the most important. Even if you rely on external things and are slightly weaker than others of the same realm, you can still easily defeat those of a lower realm!

However, she still put on a flattering smile and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, fellow Daoist." Then she reached out and beckoned to the air, eagerly putting away the [Indestructible Golden Silkworm]. Seeing that Lü Yang hadn't stopped her from beginning to end, she breathed a sigh of relief.

'It is ultimately the right path'

Longyue realized that she still had some misunderstandings about the Sword Pavilion. She had thought that they were in cahoots with the Holy Sect, but now it seemed that they were different.

The next second, Lü Yang spoke:

"This pool of [Imperial Dew] is quite good."

His eyes brightened, and he seemed quite interested: "I wish to forge a magic sword, and I need a Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it?"

"Why wouldn't I want to?"

Having preserved the [Indestructible Golden Silkworm], Longyue naturally paid no attention to the mere [Xin Metal], and immediately waved her hand: "Fellow Daoist, please take it!"

"Thank you."

Lu Yang smiled slightly, then reached out and took the pool of [Emperor's Essence] into his hand. He then closed his five fingers and instantly refined it into a ray of light.

【Xin Metal】!
Without any hesitation, Lü Yang directly absorbed the Xin Jin into his sea of ​​consciousness, and then, in the same manner, transmitted it directly to his physical body through his Dharma body.

Upon seeing this, Lü Yang's true form immediately showed excitement.

'With this item, my immortal spirit body can gather three divine abilities, reaching the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Adding the [Dharma Holding], I will also be a Great True Person!'

Although there is only one method to uphold it, and it is impossible to bless both the clone and the main body at the same time, if used well, it can fully exert the effect of two great immortals.

Upon realizing this, Lü Yang's expression immediately changed.

Southern Xinjiang, within the Ten Thousand Poisons Cult.

Lu Yang's consciousness returned to his clone, his eyelids lowered, concealing his expression. "With only one Grand Master, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is a den of dragons and tigers to me."

But there are two great masters?

'The Indestructible Golden Silkworm. This Gu is destined for my Sword Pavilion!'
