Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 432 The True Monarch Manifests Himself, A Golden Essence!
"It's you!

It would have been better if Lü Yang hadn't shown himself. The moment he did, he immediately caught Ye Shaoying's attention, and then the Ye family patriarch's expression suddenly changed drastically.

After all, as a "reclusive cultivator from beyond the heavens," Lü Yang's current strength is already quite formidable in this era of True Monarchs living in seclusion. Even a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator wouldn't dare to claim victory, while Lü Yang, as a Great True Person in the late Foundation Establishment stage, could only barely hold off a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator by relying on formations.

He still felt more confident if Lü Yang was outside.

However, now, Lü Yang has somehow managed to enter the clan's territory. The great formation that was supposed to block out external enemies is completely useless!

Unfortunately, the situation left him no time to think further.

"kill!"

With Lü Yang's command, the Myriad Spirits Banner fluttered, and all the banner spirits except for Ancestor Tingyou poured out, instantly unleashing a bloody storm.

After all, the banner spirit is not afraid of death.

Upon witnessing this scene, Ye Shaoying's eyes turned bloodshot. If these banner spirits were to really start killing each other, the vast Ye family would likely be wiped out!
With a roar, Ye Shaoying was about to activate the formation to stop Lü Yang. However, as soon as he moved, a powerful aura of incense smoke rolled out from the Myriad Spirits Banner, like a towering mountain pressing down on the formation inside and outside the Ye family. At the same time, several banner spirits blocked him.

"Go away!"

Ye Shaoying immediately unleashed a sword strike, and the sword light landed on the banner spirits, only to see the incense light surge and completely obliterate them.

In an instant, the terrifying power crashed down.

"boom!"

The simultaneous attack of the four great deities—Fanling Longyue, Wusheng Laomu, Yan Taizu, and Du Chenghuang—almost made Ye Shaoying's eyes pop out.

"Foundation Establishment Completed. Four of them!?"

What a joke!
Ye Shaoying desperately gathered the power of the formation to strengthen himself, and coupled with the fact that the incense gods were relatively weak, he was not directly killed by the four incense gods.

Even so, the vast disparity in strength between the enemy and himself still made him feel despair.

At this moment, countless solutions came to mind, but he discarded them one by one. As for his backer, Master Quexie? He was already in dire straits himself!
In the end, only—

"Demon Slayer: The Era of Light!"

Upon realizing this, Ye Shaoying immediately cast aside all emotions, took out the jade slip he had previously used to contact the Demon-Slaying True Man, and quickly infused it with his divine sense.

Meanwhile, on the border of Jiangnan.

"A request for help?"

The Demon-Slaying Immortal, who was traveling towards Jiangxi, suddenly stopped, took out a jade slip, turned around, and a trace of sorrow appeared in his eyes.

"Master?"

Lu Yang was constantly monitoring the state of the Demon-Slaying True Man with his sword avatar. Upon seeing this, he was slightly startled and immediately stepped forward respectfully to ask a question.

However, the Demon-Slaying Master quickly withdrew his gaze. In fact, the Evil-Slaying Master was right about one thing: he was indeed a cold-blooded and heartless person. Earlier, when the Evil-Slaying Master asked him which of the two sword intents, "Not Killing" and "Slaying All," belonged to him, he did not answer at the time.

Because the answer may exceed everyone's expectations.

His true sword intent is "Slay All," while "Never Kill," which he has used for almost half his life, is a legacy from an outsider.

'Perhaps I really am not a good person.'

The Demon-Slaying Master couldn't help but sigh inwardly. In his view, he had simply become accustomed to the "non-killing" technique because he had used it for so long.

"nothing."

Coming to his senses, the Demon-Slaying Master said calmly, and before he finished speaking, he crushed the jade slip in his hand, no longer paying attention to the changes in the Sword Pavilion behind him.

"call'

At the same time, Lü Yang, who had been somewhat nervous and ready to run away at any moment, breathed a sigh of relief, and then a sense of excitement arose in his heart.

The Demon-Slaying Immortal has given up!
The overall situation is decided!

With this thought in mind, Lü Yang had already arrived at the deepest part of the Ye family's residence in his escape light. Xiu Xin Zhenren had already secretly found out the location of the Ye family's treasure vault for him.

Chengtian Hall!
As soon as he stepped into the Ye family's treasure vault, a powerful aura rushed towards him, and even with Lü Yang's current cultivation level, he still felt a bit heavy.

'Fruit residue.'

Lu Yang knew perfectly well that this treasure trove had probably been sealed off by the [True Lord Chengtian Zhengde] with his rank in the past, making it as solid as a rock. That was only because the True Lords were now in seclusion and most of their rank power had dissipated, giving him the opportunity to enter. Otherwise, he would have been courting death.

'This method is even more advanced than that of the Dragon Palace.' Lü Yang wasn't surprised, after all, the True Dragon Clan and the Sword Pavilion were far apart in terms of foundation, and [True Lord Chengtian Zhengde] was taking advantage of the lineage.

Enter the main hall.

Soon, a dark and deep door appeared before him, with a blood-red array engraved on it, replacing the door knocker.

Seeing this, Lü Yang frowned slightly: 'Shall we try using [Mysterious Thunder Entering the Dao Cloud] again?'

The next second, he dismissed the idea. Not to mention that the power of the [Mysterious Thunder Entering the Dao Cloud] was too great, it would easily destroy the entire treasure vault if used here.

Furthermore, he no longer wants to use this precious treasure.

'The [Mysterious Thunder Entering the Dao Cloud] is a true treasure crafted by the [Han Guang Fu Tian True Monarch] behind Xiang Ye. Now that the True Monarch is in seclusion, its condition is also poor.'

Even making one move required a great deal of mental effort.

More often than not, it needs to maintain its condition by sleeping to avoid excessive damage. It's impossible for it to take action again just because he wants to kill and steal treasure.

Fortunately, I had anticipated this.

With a thought, Lü Yang threw out the Ye family master he had just sealed away and used the [Puppet] to manipulate him step by step toward the treasure vault door.

"Whoosh!"

With the verification of the Ye family's direct lineage, the treasure vault door immediately opened, revealing a passage. Upon seeing this, a smile immediately appeared on Lü Yang's face.

However, the next second, he was stunned.

Because behind the door was not the treasure trove he had imagined, nor was there a sky full of spiritual light, but a gloomy, dark, and deathly silent room.

"This is."

Lu Yang looked up and saw dense text on the walls of the dimly lit room. The characters were distorted and blurred, as if they had been eroded by the passage of time.

This is a cultivation method.

Its name is "The Record of Ascending to the Mysterious Realm of Contemplation"!
Lu Yang immediately recognized the essence of this technique, because the "Shanghao Golden Cup Jade Light" he had seen in Hong Yun's memories was of the same type.

'This is the method of attaining the fruition of enlightenment!'

'That's right. The current life of [True Lord Chengtian Zhengde] is nearing its end. How could he not leave behind some trump cards in order to regain his position in his next reincarnation?'

'Through this technique, one can sense the [soil on the wall]!'

As Lü Yang pondered this, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis wash over him, and subconsciously took a step back, looking once more at the dark and quiet room.

".wrong."

How could such a vast treasure trove contain only one cultivation technique?
There's also the backup plan of [Cheng Tian Zheng De Zhen Jun]. How could there only be one secret method for sensing the fruit position? Even Hong Yun has prepared several!

"Tap, tap, tap"

Heavy footsteps emerged from the shadows of the quiet room and quickly came into Lü Yang's view. It was a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, wielding a sword.

"hiss!"

In an instant, Lü Yang gasped.

Even more intense was the reaction of Ancestor Tingyou; his eyes instantly turned blood red, and he practically forced out a furious roar through clenched teeth:

"【Zhengde】.!!!"

'That can't be right, this isn't the real thing!'

'I understand. Just as good fortune creates great achievements, the [True Lord Chengtian Zhengde] also left behind a similar contingency plan; this is his manifestation!'

The next second, Lü Yang's eyes lit up.

Because right in front of the sword-wielding youth, he suddenly saw a faint but incredibly pure light, burning like a flame!

'Metal element!'

The metal element of 【Chengtian Zhengde Zhenjun】!
　I'm embarrassed. I'm a bit weak. I only managed to write three pages. I'll leave it for now. I might need to recover a bit more. I'll take some more time to rest and recuperate.
