Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 391 Fried Fish Is So Satisfying
Time flies, and the seasons change.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

In the scene of "Lihentian", the Ancestor Tingyou is seen sitting cross-legged, while the incense and talisman of "Yammotian Xuanming Sheyoufujun" float in front of him.

A moment later, Patriarch Tingyou opened his eyes.

In an instant, three innate divine abilities lit up his entire body, along with an innate divine ability, and his energy forcefully broke through the bottleneck.

Late stage of Foundation Establishment, Great True Person!

The Foundation Establishment stage is a qualitative leap in cultivation, making recovery far more difficult than before, which is why even Ancestor Tingyou spent a considerable amount of time on it.

Regardless, it was a success in the end.

On the other side, Lü Yang was also excited upon seeing this. After all, although both were at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, the prestige of Ancestor Tingyou was not on the same level as that of Longyue.

"Congratulations, Ancestor."

Therefore, as soon as Patriarch Tingyou finished his practice and opened his eyes, Lü Yang appeared before him and respectfully bowed.

Upon seeing this, Ancestor Tingyou shook his head with a wry smile. Although he had regained his physical body, he was still subject to the Myriad Spirits Banner. Strictly speaking, as the banner master of the Myriad Spirits Banner, Lü Yang did not need to be so polite to him. Even if he made some excessive request, he would not be able to refuse.

But Lü Yang's attitude remained unchanged.

Undeniably, this feeling of being respected pleased Master Tingyou greatly, especially since Lü Yang had always kept the revival of the Witchcraft and Ghost Path in mind.

what is this.

'A childlike heart!'

After hearing Master You sigh, he personally helped Lü Yang up and said, "I have tested the incense and talisman for you, and I have found out all its advantages and disadvantages."

He truly deserves to be called the founder.

"I wonder what the merits and demerits of the power of incense offerings are?"

At this point, Lü Yang suddenly recalled much of his knowledge from before his transmigration and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that this incense is poisonous and poses a great hidden danger after use?"

“That’s not quite it.” Master Tingyou shook his head: “Or rather, there was originally this evolutionary trend, but it was forcibly reversed by someone.”

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang was taken aback, but quickly recovered.

'That's right. Since Hongyun sees this world as his last resort, how could he possibly allow something as obviously harmful as poisonous incense to evolve?'

"The advantages of incense power are quite simple," Master Tingyou continued to explain. "Firstly, the lower limit is high; even the weakest level is at the level of Qi Refining Great Divine Power. Secondly, progress is rapid; as long as there is enough incense, there are no bottlenecks or tribulations, and one can advance all the way to the Foundation Establishment Perfection stage!"

These two alone are outrageous.

However, Lü Yang remained calm. There is no such thing as a free lunch. The greater the advantages of the incense and deity path, the more it shows that it must also have the same flaws.

"but."

Sure enough, the next second Master Tingyou changed the subject: "I can solve most of its shortcomings, except for two that are inherent problems."

"Firstly, it is the foundation of the Way."

Master Tingyou said in a deep voice, "Although the Incense God has a rank, it is not self-cultivated and has no Dao foundation. Its rank is obtained through the recommendation of incense offerings."

"Once the incense has burned out, the person falls."

"At that time, the higher the person stands, the harder they will fall. The most tragic one will be the City God, who will almost certainly die instantly if there is no more incense offerings!"

This is similar to the Foundation Establishment and Support of the True Lord.

However, unlike others, True Monarchs have their own grotto-heavens. Even if all Foundation Establishment cultivators die, they will at most go into seclusion with those who have reached the Fruit Realm, without suffering any harm.

However, the incense god is different. If the people below die in large numbers, the incense god will lose its incense offerings, which will immediately become a life-threatening situation!
"Perhaps this is the reason for the peace in this realm. If a real war were to break out, with the strength of the City God at the peak of Foundation Establishment, he could overturn the table and directly cause the continent to sink, wiping out the divine path. Only with such a level of deterrence can peace be maintained among the three parties."

After figuring it out, Lü Yang looked at Ancestor Tingyou again: "And the second one?"

"Secondly, there is the incense itself." Master Tingyou shook his head and said, "Incense is a product of the human heart, containing a lot of distracting thoughts. People with unstable minds are very likely to go astray and become possessed by it."

"This becomes more troublesome at higher levels of understanding."

After saying that, Ancestor Tingyou pointed to the incense and talisman of the [Yamagata Heavenly Mysterious Netherworld Lord] in front of him: "It is currently only at the late Foundation Establishment stage."

"It's already putting some pressure on me."

"Even if it reaches the pinnacle of this realm, the level of Foundation Establishment perfection, I can still suppress it. But just because I can suppress it doesn't mean others can."

"As I predicted, the reason why the great gods of the City God level in this world do not manifest in the world is probably because they are burdened by the incense offerings. They need to go into seclusion to maintain their self and avoid going astray. However, this is actually a good opportunity to hone their divine will."

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Tingyou looked at Lü Yang:

"Aren't you cultivating sword intent?"

"Although I don't understand swordsmanship, based on my deductions, as long as you use it in moderation, this incense and divine power should be beneficial to your sword intent training."

Lü Yang was deeply moved upon hearing this.

However, he quickly calmed down. Using the power of incense to forge sword intent was not impossible, but it required a stable external environment.

'But it'll be soon.'

A look of certainty appeared in Lü Yang's eyes.

After ten years of lying low and secretly spreading his teachings, the White Lotus Sect is now nothing more than a shell; its inner flesh and blood have long been emptied out and devoured.

His method of proselytizing was also very simple: he used others to spread his message.

Based on the core base of the three White Lotus Gods, they expanded outwards, and the word spread among the followers, leading one White Lotus follower after another to voluntarily transform into a banner spirit.

Now, a full 90% of the White Lotus Sect's believers have been secretly converted into banner spirits by Lü Yang. As long as Lü Yang prevents the banner spirits from changing their faith and continues to offer sacrifices openly, keeping the incense offerings directed towards the White Lotus Sect, it will be difficult for the White Lotus Sect's incense gods to detect anything amiss.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang did some quick calculations with his fingers: 'It's about time they arrived.'

"Boom!"

Not long after, a series of loud noises came from outside the [Lihentian], as several powerful incense energies transformed into sky-covering hands that tried to grab him!
Looking around, Lü Yang immediately saw a dense array of figures standing outside the [Lihentian]. The weakest among them was a county city god comparable to the early stage of Foundation Establishment. At this moment, their auras erupted, creating a magnificent and dazzling scene of light and shadow that illuminated the sky, completely sealing off the surrounding airspace.

【Vacuum Hometown】!
This time, the White Lotus Sect mobilized its entire force!

The leader was none other than the Black Lotus God, whose incense and divine power were almost solidified on his body, and whose aura was not much inferior to that of the Moon Goddess.

However, Lü Yang did not panic at all upon seeing this.

'Although I deliberately gave myself away, I didn't expect the White Lotus Sect to actually take the bait, even though they've improved compared to ten years ago.'

At least they've learned to bully the weak with numbers.

However, it seems they didn't consider the possibility of a trap at all, or perhaps they thought that even if there was a trap, their strength would be enough to crush it.

Unfortunately, his idea, though beautiful, suited his own purposes perfectly.

Now that I have the upper hand, the so-called "bullying the weak" strategy can only turn into a group of people feeding the enemy kills.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

'I've calculated cause and effect, laid out plans, and manipulated the enemy with ease. Everything is within my expectations. It's been a long time since I've felt this way!'

'ah'

He seems to have come to understand the Buddha somewhat.

Fried fish is so satisfying!

With that thought, the Myriad Spirits Banner appeared in Lü Yang's hand. The next second, the vast incense offerings that originally belonged to the White Lotus Sect, enough to support a City God and a Foundation Establishment cultivator, surged towards [Lihentian]!
