Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 455 True Monarch Proof Difficult, Let's Try Again!

The period of falsely holding onto gold has finally come to an end.

However, before it ended, Lü Yang, relying on his True Monarch level status, used a third-grade formation to completely surround the area where the Earth Fire Sea Heart Furnace was located.

They are still using the Hongyun formation.

The Seven Luminaries World-Stabilizing and Truth-Preserving Array

'With this formation in place, and with the patriarch protecting me, unless a true lord descends to earth, I at least don't have to worry about anyone disturbing my quest for gold.'

This is the limit that Lü Yang can achieve.

If a True Lord burns down his celestial abode to descend to earth, or if the Dao Lord intervenes just to stop him from seeking gold, then he's out of luck; at worst, he'll just have to give it up.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang did not delay and immediately sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state. However, when he was about to reach the final step, a strong sense of fear and unease still surged into his heart uncontrollably, and many scenes from before appeared before his eyes.

Rebirth, Summoning, Feast of Light
'Failed to obtain gold, certain death is inevitable. Uncle Chongguang is relatively lucky; Xiang Ye is truly unlucky, dying without even a ripple.'

Oh right, and there's also the summoning.

With the power of the "Long Flowing Water" in hand, his mission in this life is complete. He is currently resting inside the Myriad Spirits Banner, and his next life will be his opportunity.

"Yes, what do I have to be afraid of?"

It's just trial and error!

Others only have one chance to seek gold, but I have dozens of chances. If I still can't succeed, then no one in the world can become a true lord.

Lu Yang calmed his mind and with a single slash of his sword, he instantly extinguished all distracting thoughts. Then, with a furrowed brow, a palm-sized stone flowing with golden light appeared before him. It was none other than the blessed land that the immortal spirit Shang Zhang had condensed before his death, the [Heavenly Grace and Earthly Favor Gengjin Blessed Land]!
After all, what we're asking for this time is [Pomegranate Wood].

His other blessed land, the [Xuandu Blessed Land], is the foundation of his Great Dao, and it cannot be damaged. He doesn't care about the blessed land of the Immortal Spirit.

"start!"

In an instant, Lü Yang activated the Heaven-Mending True Scripture and began to draw nourishment from heaven and earth, using the "Transcending Heaven and Earth" ritual to attract the attention of those at the highest level.

"Boom!"

At this moment, Lü Yang felt his consciousness begin to rise, quickly reaching the Foundation Establishment realm, and then continuing to climb upwards.

A blessed land soars to new heights!

Lu Yang's eyes glazed over slightly, and his gaze fell upon two scenes, like two sides of the same coin, opposing yet complementary to each other.

One of the scenes he had seen before using the [Mysterious Capital Blessed Land] was a world resembling a honeycomb, with each fruit position being a hole, riddling the world with holes. The other scene was the boundless sea of ​​suffering that Chongguang remembered, encompassing heaven and earth.

'The sea of ​​suffering is boundless; enlightenment is the boat.'

Which of the two scenarios is real? Or are both real, just viewed from different angles, resulting in drastically different images?

Lu Yang pondered in his heart, but his movements of flying to the blessed land did not stop at all.

'The fairy spirit still has a significant advantage.'

According to Chongguang's memory, the step of ascending to the blessed land actually consumed a huge amount of energy. He had to burn the entire [Qing Kingdom] to complete the ascent.

However, when it comes to Lü Yang, things are not so complicated.

'Because I'm a fairy now?'

'It feels like the heavens and earth aren't stopping me at all, but are actually pushing me forward, greatly saving my magical power. This is much easier than Chongguang.'

This puzzled Lü Yang. After all, he was not the immortal spirit Shangzhang cultivated by the Heavenly Emperor. Logically, he should have a grudge against the Heavenly Emperor. But the heavens and earth were still supporting him. Could it be that in the Heavenly Emperor's eyes, who the immortal spirit was did not matter, and it only needed an immortal spirit to attain the fruition?
'No. Impossible!'

If that were the case, there would have been no need for Heaven to target him in the first place and cultivate another immortal spirit to ascend to the throne. The other party clearly valued the identity of the immortal spirit.

'unless.'

Lu Yang looked around, suddenly feeling a chill: 'Unless what's propelling me forward isn't actually the Heavenly Emperor, but some Dao Lord!'

Lü Yang had not forgotten.

Just like the many tribulations encountered by Foundation Establishment True Persons, their internal logic is contradictory. What Heaven can do, Dao Lord can also do!
'who is it? ’

The Pure Land Buddha? It doesn't seem quite right. After all, the Buddha's actions were very grand and impressive. This kind of subtle and gentle approach is more like that of the Holy Patriarch.

'Don't overthink it.' Lü Yang shook his head to himself. In any case, the world was supporting him at this moment, and he couldn't change it. So he might as well lie down and enjoy it.

With the road ahead clear, Lü Yang quickly arrived in front of the [Pomegranate Wood] and truly appreciated this Heaven and Earth Fruit up close. At first glance, it seemed to be just a hazy glimmer of light, but upon closer inspection, it was as if he saw a vast and boundless ocean.

"Attaining enlightenment means aligning oneself with that enlightenment level."

When one enters a blessed land and attains a high position, and their vital energies harmonize, they can transform into a celestial realm. However, this seemingly simple harmonization of vital energies is actually more difficult than ascending to heaven.

Because the Qi mechanism at the fruition stage is constantly changing.

Just like this sea of ​​suffering before us, with its surging waves rising and falling, the vital energy is like the waves in this sea, and can only converge at the highest point of the waves.

Otherwise, they would be immediately swept away by the waves.

'My former Uncle-Master Chongguang reached this point, but due to the problem with [Chen Earth], his vital energy couldn't align with his attainment, ultimately leading to his failure and death.'

At this moment, the image reappeared in Lü Yang's eyes.

These scenes are all different, but they all depict his actions when he entered the fruition stage, and his process of aligning with the energy of the fruition stage. Each one seems to have been successful.

Among the two figures in the light and shadow, he was the one who had the smoothest journey. Lü Yang knew very well that he had followed the path he had taken by referring to the memories of [Hongyun] and [Zhengde]. Because there were predecessors who planted the trees, he, the successor, enjoyed the shade. All the difficulties were clear, and it seemed that there would be no risks.

'No, that's not right!'

Lu Yang suddenly realized his mistake and withdrew his foot that was about to step out: 'They're not asking for [Pomegranate Wood], how can we simply copy their experience?'

As soon as this thought arose, both images vanished.

"hiss!"

Upon seeing this, Lü Yang gasped, realizing with a start: 'These aren't illusions born from inner demons, but real, tangible visions of the future!'

The process of him perceiving these future scenarios is the process of aligning with the energy of his attainment. Whichever future he chooses will become real. However, only one future will lead to his success. The others are illusions. If he chooses the wrong one, he will immediately fail and perish!
'This is a test of my abilities.'

If one's cultivation is insufficient to select the most correct path from among many future possibilities, then even with immense abilities, one cannot attain the Dao fruit!
Lü Yang took a deep breath and continued forward.

He quickly selected a future scene whose imagery perfectly matched his understanding of the pomegranate wood, and he couldn't find any flaws in it no matter how he looked at it.

However, at the very moment he chose his future.

Lu Yang's consciousness sank, and he once again uncontrollably saw many scenes, all of which were images of his failures, seemingly trying to stop him from moving forward.

'Back off? Think about it again?'

A thought flashed through Lü Yang's mind for a moment, but he quickly dismissed it. The time available for ascending to the blessed lands was limited, and he couldn't possibly try them all one by one.

These scenarios of failure are nothing but illusions that disturb my mind.

'No, they aren't necessarily all illusions. Because they might be real, designed to make me doubt myself, to make me indecisive.'

Lü Yang sighed inwardly.

The next second, his eyes suddenly hardened, ignoring all the obstacles, he combined his own energy with the chosen future vision, and took a step forward!
"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, everything before Lü Yang's eyes shattered, including the [Heavenly Grace and Earthly Favor Gengjin Blessed Land] that he had seized from the Immortal Spirit.

"Failed?" Lü Yang remained calm and unsurprised.

'My cultivation is insufficient. No, it's that the cultivation of the immortal spirits above is insufficient. That's right, what cultivation can be spoken of in divine powers directly bestowed by heaven and earth?'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

'The final step in seeking gold requires sufficiently profound cultivation, which is probably a scheme set up by some Dao Lord specifically to trap and kill up growing immortal spirits.'

No wonder no immortal has ever succeeded in seeking gold!

Someone had already tampered with the source of the gold. Who did it? Could it be the Holy Sect's founder again? That's too insidious.
Lü Yang's mind quickly began to wander.

His quest for gold failed, his soul was scattered, and he wouldn't even have a chance to be reincarnated. Luckily, he had a cheat code.

'A book for all ages!!!'
