Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 373 A Sudden Dire Situation

Guangming's appearance resolved Lü Yang's doubts.

Why is Heaven and Earth in such a hurry to act?

Because the World-Honored One has his eye on him!

In an instant, Lü Yang was almost scared out of his wits. After all, the World Honored One was the most outrageous and shameless person he had ever encountered in his ten lifetimes of cultivation.

Nascent Soul Dao Master's Reversal of Foundation Establishment and Great Cultivation?

'But the question is, what merit do I possess to be noticed by the World-Honored One?'

This is simply unreasonable.

Of course, for a moment, Lü Yang also wondered if it might be a hidden danger left over from his previous life when the World Honored One almost caught him and reopened the gates.

However, he quickly dismissed it.

Absolutely impossible!
'After all, that happened several lifetimes ago. If that were true, I should have been captured and instantly refined by the World-Honored One in my previous life.'

Sensing the urgency emanating from heaven and earth, Lü Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he realized: 'I'm wrong, I've reversed cause and effect! It's not because the World Honored One is targeting me that heaven and earth are in such a hurry to act; it's because heaven and earth have been supporting me that the World Honored One is targeting me!'

In short, it's because of her identity as a fairy!
'I've questioned the existence of immortals before; to me, they seem to be things created by heaven and earth specifically to occupy positions of power.'

In retrospect, it was spot on!
'If my guess is correct, the four Dao Lords are probably wrestling with Heaven and Earth. Heaven and Earth want to support the Immortal Spirits, while the Dao Lords want to suppress them!'

This guess also resolved another question he had previously had.

Why do even immortals have to undergo tribulations?
As God's favorite child, his cultivation should have been smooth sailing, without any bottlenecks, and he wouldn't have had any additional requirements for cultivation level like other cultivators.

But the result?

He not only had to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation of the late Foundation Establishment stage, but also the Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man at the Foundation Establishment Perfection stage; he faced no difficulty whatsoever.

'Now it seems, this may not necessarily be a gift from heaven and earth!'

'It was sent down by the Dao Lord!'

No wonder not a single immortal spirit has grown up over the years; it's likely that 99% of them were secretly interrupted by the Dao Lord, or perhaps even recruited by him.
A prime example is the Holy Ancestor: Chongguang!

'What kind of innate divine talent is this? It's a complete scam!'

'The result is that all the immortal spirits that Heaven and Earth painstakingly nurtured ended up benefiting the Dao Lords, ultimately becoming talents under their command.'

Rumble!
The whispers around him grew louder and louder. In the scene, Guangming was clearly rushing towards the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, and time was running out.

Lu Yang suddenly understood that this was Heaven urging him, reminding him. In other words, it was saying, "Don't worry, you are your father's most beloved child. Everything that just happened was a misunderstanding. Your father only wanted to save you. Quickly open your heart, so that your father can help you ascend to heaven in one step."

"I believe you ghost!"

Lu Yang remained unmoved, clinging to this sliver of clarity. "To be kind to me? Want to save me? If that were true, I wouldn't have inexplicably felt drowsy just now!"
Ultimately, they still want to harm me!
Even so, Lü Yang couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Heaven and Earth and the World Honored One were like wolves in front and tigers behind, leaving him no room to maneuver.

'Fine. Just self-destruct!'

You guys are pretty good, this round is yours.

Lu Yang had a sudden thought.

However, the next second, his expression froze slightly, because his immortal body was now firmly imprisoned by the [Moon Worship Holy Pool].

I can't commit suicide!

This time, Lü Yang's expression really changed.

If it were just a normal inability to commit suicide, Lü Yang wouldn't care. As long as he guarded his mind, he would always find an opportunity. But the World Honored One was right outside!
If he really comes knocking on our door, he still won't be able to commit suicide. Then we're probably doomed!
Not to mention that the Buddha's target on this trip was probably him, who wanted to snatch meat from the mouth of heaven and earth, and it was almost certain that he was coming to convert him!
—A desperate situation!
Without any reason or warning, and without giving Lü Yang any mental preparation, one second he was in luck and everything was working together, and the next second he was out of luck and no longer a hero.

Even so, his mind remained calm.

The whispers of heaven and earth around him intensified, telling him of the crisis, urging him to consider the bigger picture, and trying to make him feel fear involuntarily.

"If the World Honored One is coming, then let him come!"

The moment Lü Yang conceived this thought, the whispers in his ears instantly turned into a roar, yet he remained unmoved. Instead, a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.
"Go ahead and stir, just keep stirring!"

"You've caused the World Honored One to come and turn me into a Buddhist monk, you've caused the Dao Lord to personally arrive and destroy my immortal body, and I'll just risk my life alongside you!"

Is Lü Yang afraid of death?
Of course he was afraid, but after ten lifetimes of cultivation, he knew that the more afraid one was of death, the more one had to pretend not to be! In this damned place, one couldn't survive without going mad!

In an instant, all was silent.

All the murmurs disappeared, and Lü Yang sat quietly, his mind becoming increasingly clear and transparent. The intrusion of consciousness from heaven and earth was both a crisis and the best whetstone, sharpening his newly formed [Sword Heart] to an even sharper edge, like a cold, gleaming blade drawn from its sheath.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar swept over us like a tidal wave!

However, this time, Lü Yang smiled because he could feel that the drowsiness he felt this time was much weaker than before!
Has heaven and earth compromised?
This is of course impossible; it's just that Heaven and Earth have more important things to do, so they were forced to withdraw the power that originally fell on him.

That's enough. That's enough!

When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured!
His chance of survival lies here!
The next second, Lü Yang felt a tremor beneath his feet.

"Amitabha!"

The sound of Buddhist chants echoed in the distance, and Guangming had arrived! He stood before the gates of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, a compassionate smile on his face.

"Whoosh!"

Almost simultaneously, Lü Yang saw the three divine abilities he had painstakingly cultivated—[Master of Weapons and Leather], [Lord of Stubborn Metal], and [Solemn Frost]—fly out of his body.

However, the [Tribulation Wave] did not move.

This extraordinary treasure, brought by the Book of a Hundred Generations, severs causality and can only be activated by Lü Yang. Even heaven and earth cannot affect it in the slightest.

However, Lü Yang soon witnessed a scene that left him speechless.

A bell rang between heaven and earth, and suddenly, without any reason, a celestial and terrestrial force gathered in front of him, finally transforming into a wisp of white smoke and drifting down.

【Youjin】!
The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends have been formed!
Right in front of him!
'This is truly the son of Heaven and Earth! If Heaven and Earth truly support me in every way, why would I need to waste time searching for any of the Heavenly Generals and Earthly Fiends?'

Lu Yang gritted his teeth as he stared at the [酉金] in front of him.

At the same time, he understood Heaven and Earth's intentions: why did they plot against him? Because he was out of control! What Heaven and Earth needed was a controllable immortal spirit!

'Heaven and Earth must have suffered enough at Hongyun's hands. They finally helped him ascend to the position of True Lord, only for Hongyun to betray them without giving him any benefits. No wonder Heaven and Earth don't trust me. To compare me to Hongyun—doesn't it know I'm a good person?'

The next second, [酉金] and Lü Yang's true form merged.

The fourth innate divine power emerged.

【The Heavenly Bell Rings】!
In an instant, the dazzling supernatural power disappeared, and only a melodious bell rang out. The four innate supernatural powers gathered together and finally outlined a figure.

Immediately afterwards, the figure rushed out of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect's mountain gate.

Upon seeing this, Guangming, who was originally about to break through the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect's formation, was stunned for a moment, then nodded with great satisfaction and smiled:
“Benefactor, we are destined to be master and disciple.”
