Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 460: The laws of the Immortal Kingdom!

Late at night, inside Xu An's cave.

At this moment, Xu An was still meditating, but he did not notice that there was a completely different foreign object in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"【The Daoist Laws of the Immortal Kingdom】."

Lu Yang looked up, gazing at the sky with great interest, his mind still replaying the memories he had gleaned from Daoting Zhennan King Wu Tai'an.

Of the four realms under heaven, the Dao Court is the most unique.

The "Immortal Kingdom's Laws" connect everyone, but unlike the Pure Land, it doesn't forcefully control everything with the unity of the masses. Instead, it deliberately constructs the current order.

The nine ranks of officials are the underlying logic of the "Immortal Kingdom's Laws". The six ministries that arise from this are directly involved in the lives of the people of Jiangdong. The six ministries, in turn, generate countless official positions, which together surround the four Heavenly Fruits.

[Flatland Wood], [Roadside Soil]

[Gold foil gold], [Dayi soil]

The four ranks of nobility are divided among the Emperor of the Dao Court and the Three Dukes. The Tianwu royal family inherits these ranks from generation to generation, while the positions of the Three Dukes are passed down among three different factions.

'It looks like [the soil on the city wall].'

Lu Yang suddenly realized that this method of binding people with positions of authority was similar to the unity of the people in the Pure Land, except that the Pure Land used people, while the Daoist court used official positions.

The World Honored One of Daoist School.

No, it should be that the World-Honored One imitated the Taoist court!

'Moreover, the Dao Court has two Earth Element positions. If you include the previous dynasty's [City Wall Earth] position, that makes a total of three Earth Element positions.'

Not to mention that [City Wall Soil] is the supreme element of earth.

"This is terrible," Lu Yang thought with a chill.

In comparison, the Dao Court was really strong before. On the contrary, the emergence of the Pure Land and the rise of the World Honored One weakened the strength of the Dao Court to some extent.

".hiss!"

Thinking of this, Lü Yang suddenly gasped: Could this be related to the rise of the World Honored One and his past as the Nascent Soul Dao Master who defied the heavens?

Was the Daoist leader of the Daoist Court framed?
As an outstanding Holy Sect Master, Lü Yang never hesitated to indulge in conspiracy theories:

"The world is inherently a place where there are too many monks and not enough meat; when someone rises to power, someone else has to sacrifice their own flesh. Perhaps the rise of the Buddha involved sacrificing the flesh of the Daoist court!"

However, the Daoist Lord of the Dao Court would certainly not willingly be slaughtered.

Therefore, there must be the involvement of the Holy Sect Ancestor and the Sword Pavilion Ancestor behind this. Perhaps it was one of them who supported the World Honored One in the beginning!
who can that be?

'The Holy Ancestor?'

Lu Yang had reasonable suspicions, after all, the Pure Land sect was also known as an evil sect back then. As both were demonic paths, it was not impossible that the Holy Sect's founder would lend a hand to the World Honored One.

However, Lü Yang soon realized something was wrong. After all, the World Honored One had cleansed himself up after coming ashore. The Pure Land not only did not join the ranks of the demonic path, but instead transformed into the righteous path, joining forces with the Sword Pavilion and the Dao Court to deal with the Holy Sect. Considering this, could it be that the Holy Sect's founder had also miscalculated?

No, not at all.

'The World Honored One caused the Daoist Lord of the Dao Court such a great loss; how could the two sides easily reconcile? The rift will likely always remain.'

'Moreover, the Buddha was a fence-sitter.'

'The original world situation would likely have been one where the Sword Pavilion patriarch and the Dao Court leader joined forces against the Holy Sect patriarch, but things changed after the World Honored One's ascension.'

At first glance, it seems like the righteous path has gained another pure land, but in reality, everyone knows that the World Honored One is adept at navigating both sides, and given the existing rift with the Daoist court, neither side can genuinely cooperate. On the contrary, the World Honored One probably desires more than anyone else that the strength of both sides be maintained at a balance.

Yes, balance!
The more Lü Yang thought about it, the more he felt that the World Honored One was probably secretly supported by the Holy Sect's founder back then, and that the World Honored One had turned his disadvantage in one fell swoop!

What started as a one-against-two battle has become a four-way standoff!

The Holy Sect's patriarch, by extracting resources from the Daoist court, both supported the Pure Land and weakened the righteous path, while remaining unscathed. This was definitely not solely the Holy Sect's patriarch's scheme.

'It's even possible that the World Honored One himself proposed this to the Holy Sect's patriarch, aligning with the Holy Sect's interests and carving out a path to the Nascent Soul stage for himself amidst adversity!'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang couldn't help but sigh:

'When the World-Honored One attained enlightenment, it must have astonished the entire world!'

Those were such glorious years. Just imagining Lü Yang makes my heart surge with emotion. He plotted and schemed, and finally attained enlightenment in front of everyone.

Immediately afterwards, Lü Yang couldn't help but touch his chin.

Was my guess correct? The direction might be right, but the details might not be, since I still have too little information.

'However, if my deduction is correct, then it explains why the World Honored One was the last Nascent Soul Dao Master of this era, and why Angxiao didn't try to replicate the World Honored One's path but instead sought help from the Underworld—because the World Honored One's ascension has already blocked all future attempts!'

A tripod with four legs, the most balanced arrangement.

However, if a fifth Dao Lord were to emerge, it would inevitably lead to another collapse of the situation and a redistribution of interests. This is something that no Dao Lord would want to see.

So Angxiao went to seek help from the Underworld.

"This move is similar to my escape to the Seven Luminaries back then; both were about stepping out of the existing chessboard, temporarily shifting gears, and seeking a future."

However, in Lü Yang's view, Angxiao's escape did not seem to be thorough enough.

If they really wanted to escape, they should have flown far away and disappeared completely from this wretched place. But [Angxiao] is still here, and [Mingfu] is too conspicuous.

'Perhaps he has other plans. Or perhaps he knows some information I don't.'

Lü Yang took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.

'The most urgent task is actually to prove the level of cultivation required for [Heavenly Fire], and the Daoist Court has given me quite a good insight.'

【The Daoist Laws of the Immortal Kingdom】!
'This vast network covering Jiangdong can directly bestow knowledge upon cultivators through official positions; once the cultivators digest this knowledge, it will transform into their cultivation level.'

This is a shortcut!
Originally, it takes a long time to comprehend and improve one's cultivation, but the existence of the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws] has made it possible for him to achieve it quickly.

'The prerequisite is reaching a high position within the Daoist court!'

The higher your official rank, the greater your authority within the [Immortal Kingdom's Dao Laws], the more knowledge the [Immortal Kingdom's Dao Laws] bestow upon you, and the higher your cultivation level!

One month later, at Dongting Lake.

Located inland in Jiangdong, this place is, as the name suggests, a super-large inland lake. Although called a lake, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the 'Mediterranean Sea'.

"Get ready."

The leader, Commander Liu, said in a deep voice, "I am going to see the Dragon King of Dongting Lake soon to read out His Majesty's decree. I must not disgrace the court!"

"Yes!"

Xu An swallowed hard, suppressing his nervousness, and carefully followed Liu Qianhu as they flew deeper into Dongting Lake.

Before long, a majestic island appeared before everyone's eyes.

What one sees is a mountain of skulls, a forest of bones, flesh rotting into mud and dust, and tendons and bones hanging from trees. At a glance, it seems that blood and blood are soaring to the sky!

The True Dragon Clan sounds particularly noble, but in reality, they are ultimately a demon race. They are inherently beastly and untamable, and it is only natural for them to consume blood food. Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp. Inland cultivators at least care about appearances, but why would overseas demon races care so much?
This is why, in Jiangdong, they dared not eat people, so they ate their own kind instead.

Otherwise, if it were overseas, Lü Yang had seen it in Tian Qiu's memories: all the major demon clans of the Four Seas Sect had several human and livestock ranches, more or less.

'Unfortunately, this way they won't be able to integrate into the Daoist court.'

Seeing this, Lü Yang smiled indifferently. Clearly, this branch of the true dragon, which had been sent to Jiangdong by the Dragon Lord, was still somewhat unaware of its current predicament.

It seems I have to come out of retirement!
