Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 435 Zhengde Metal Nature, Fruit Position Shock!

"Whoosh!"

As the sword-wielding youth's body collapsed, one of the flames burst into flames, scattering sparks and streams of fire. A golden ray seemed to be trying to escape.

However, Lü Yang, who had been eyeing it for a long time, would not give it this opportunity.

"Come here."

Almost simultaneously, a divine power descended upon the meditation room, as if the void had opened its gaping maw, frantically swallowing and spitting out everything within the meditation room.

Contains True Qi!
This divine power could even draw out the essence of heaven and earth from the Seven Luminaries Heaven. How could a mere wisp of golden essence resist it? It was instantly locked in place by Lü Yang.

After doing all this, Lü Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Patriarch Tingyou:

"Congratulations, Ancestor!"

Emotional value must be given enough, so Lu Yang entrusted the final blow that ended the sword-wielding youth to Ancestor Tingyou, which can be regarded as his tenderness towards the banner spirit.

On the other side, Patriarch Tingyou was clearly pleased with this as well. He turned to look at Lü Yang, and without saying a word, bowed deeply: "Although it is only an incarnation, it has relieved me of a long-standing worry. Thank you for your great help, fellow Daoist. I am deeply grateful!"

This statement comes entirely from the heart.

For Ancestor Tingyou, the greatest regret and pain was that the Wugui Sect was wiped out by a single sword, and he didn't even have the chance to fight them.

Now Lü Yang has fulfilled his wish.

Although strictly speaking, he was no match for the sword-wielding youth in their one-on-one fight, so what? You were a Golden Core True Monarch back then!
I was just fighting two against one, which is much more fair than what you did!
"Master, you flatter me."

Lu Yang quickly helped Master Tingyou up and said sincerely, "I am also a disciple of the Witchcraft and Ghost Path. This is just my duty. Don't be so formal!"

"Do you see me being too formal when I order you around?"

"This"

Upon hearing this, Master Tingyou was taken aback, then a slight smile appeared on his face: "Indeed, then you'll have to serve him more often in the future, don't be shy."

"definitely!"

Lu Yang had been waiting to hear these words from Ancestor Tingyou, so he nodded with satisfaction before letting the newly-brought-to-breakthrough Ancestor Tingyou go back to recuperate.

Only now did he look at the golden essence that had been captured by [Containing True Qi].

'The second True Monarch Golden Nature. Although the Ye family's treasure trove is far inferior to the Dragon Palace in terms of resources, this single Golden Nature is worth more than the most precious treasures in the world!'

Grab it and refine it instantly!

[Currently processing the settlement process for "Zhengde".]

[You were once the most outstanding disciple in the history of the Ye family. After four lifetimes of arduous cultivation, you finally achieved Foundation Establishment and attained the Golden Rank, but you were left with a lifelong shadow.]

The densely packed handwriting emerged.

'The True Lord Chengtian Zhengde, originally named Ye Zhongliang, was the fourth True Lord of Jian Ge. He was trapped at Jitian Cliff due to his inner demons, and for a thousand years he made no progress.'

Soon, the resume of [Chengtian Zhengde Zhenjun] came into view.

Like Hongyun, it included a wealth of insights into the "wall soil," which Lü Yang compiled into a book, intending to give to Patriarch Tingyou later.

Secondly, there's the trump card he prepared for his reincarnation.

One physical body, one true treasure, and one secret technique for attaining the fruition of enlightenment—now that the physical body has been destroyed, the true treasure and the secret technique have naturally fallen into Lü Yang's hands as well.

In addition, there was an unexpected bonus.

In the memories of [True Lord Chengtian Zhengde], Lü Yang unexpectedly discovered an important piece of information, which revealed the origins of the Demon-Slaying True Man!
'Ye Guangji, the Demon-Slaying True Man, is the first genius of the Ye family since the [True Lord Chengtian Zhengde]. In his first life, he cultivated [Wall Soil], but suffered a crushing defeat at his peak, forcing him to become a sword cultivator in his second life. After thirty years of foundation building, he comprehended sword intent and gradually earned the title of Demon-Slaying True Man.'

'However, in Jian Ge, are there any geniuses who achieve their goals without reason?'

'Nine out of ten of the Sword Pavilion's chosen ones are reincarnated cultivators, and the Demon-Slaying True Man is no exception. Strictly speaking, his origins are even comparable to those of a True Monarch!'

'Because he was one of the True Immortals of the Sword Pavilion, and because the [Sword Dao Fruit] was difficult to attain, his spirit was enlightened within the Sword Pavilion's mountain gate, and thus he was born!'

"It is said that the sword at the Sword Pavilion Mountain Gate is the personal sword left behind by the founder of the Sword Pavilion." "The Demon-Slaying True Man's spiritual essence originated from it; one could say he was born to cultivate the sword! His first incarnation cultivating 'Wall Soil' actually hindered him."

Thinking of this, Lü Yang recalled what the Evil-Slaying Immortal had said when questioning the Demon-Slaying Immortal: 'He said the Demon-Slaying Immortal was a heartless person. Now it seems there's some truth to that. A man-made sword spirit, conforming to the will of Heaven and Earth, should originally possess a nature of detachment from worldly affairs.'

That's normal for someone who has no ulterior motives.

It's more surprising that someone with such a background would be so compassionate and capable of creating such a bizarre sword intent as "non-killing."

There must be something fishy going on behind this!

Lu Yang pondered what had happened to the Demon-Slaying Master. Where did the two sword intents, 【Not Kill】 and 【Slay All】, originate?

'I just feel like something's not right.'

Through the memories of [True Lord Chengtian Zhengde], Lü Yang learned about the life of the Demon-Slaying Immortal from the sidelines, and the whole story can be summed up in one sentence: He lived too smoothly!

'In this wretched place, who among those who rises to prominence isn't targeted, who doesn't suffer setbacks? Uncle-Master Chongguang suffered a major humiliation, with Suo Huanren even falling into a pit; not to mention me, and then there's Hongyun. As the renowned number one swordsman in the world, how could no one possibly be targeted?'

But the result was that the Demon-Slaying Master lived a life of ease for most of his life!
He had never encountered any setbacks, and his growth trajectory was incredibly smooth. Although there were no suspicious points, in Lü Yang's view, this was the biggest suspicious point!

'Either there's no pit.'

'Either the pit is buried deep enough that it hasn't exploded yet.'

Just as Lü Yang was pondering, the panel of the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] suddenly emitted a golden light.

[You have acquired the Golden Talent - Usurpation!]

[Cuckoo's Nest: This ability, available only once in a lifetime, allows one to forcibly seize another's life and use it for their own purposes, thus replacing a person's existence in terms of cause and effect and its root cause.]

Just like the life of [Chengtian Zhengde Zhenjun].

That lifetime should have been the one in which Ancestor Tingyou rose to power against all odds, but instead, he took his place and usurped the destiny that should have belonged to Ancestor Tingyou.

'This talent...it's incredibly unorthodox!'

Lu Yang frowned. The effect of [Cuckoo's Nest] was similar to possession, but it was of a higher level because its substitution was comprehensive!
'Once I use this talent to possess a target, everything about that target will be inherited by me, including supernatural powers, memories, Daoist techniques, and karmic connections. In other words, if the target is pursuing gold, or even close to success, and I possess their body, then I can also take their place in pursuing gold and becoming a Golden Core True Monarch!'

What incredible talent!

Thinking of this, Lü Yang even subconsciously entertained an extremely wicked thought: what if he used this talent to possess Ancestor Tingyou?
'.snort!'

The next second, Lü Yang's eyes turned cold, and his mind was like a sword, directly slaying the evil thought.

'What's the point of possessing the body of Patriarch Tingyou? One can't truly inherit his astonishing wisdom; it's just a superficial shell. Ultimately, a person must rely on themselves!'

With this thought in mind, Lü Yang looked at the [Cuckoo in the Nest] talent again, but frowned:

'The True Lord Chengtian Zhengde himself had inner demons, and the talent derived from him turned out to be something that easily breeds inner demons.'

'Even if I were to use it, I would never use it for cultivation. Cultivation depends on oneself. If one doesn't rise to a higher level through one's own abilities, even if one succeeds by chance, the result will only be the same as [True Lord Chengtian Zhengde], trapped for a thousand years, never truly forging one's own path!'

By taking others as a mirror, we can understand our own gains and losses.

Perhaps this is the significance of the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes] settlement talent.

"Boom!"

Just then, as the talent was calculated and the golden nature of [Cheng Tian Zheng De Zhen Jun] was completely digested by [Bai Shi Shu], the moment the talent was calculated was realized.

Thunder suddenly roared in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a star suddenly shone brightly in the sky, like an open eye, its starlight falling as if in fury or fear.

Almost simultaneously, Lü Yang also raised his head.

It is 【wall soil】.

The fruit position is shaken!

　The fourth update will be at 10 PM.
