Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 486 Chongguang's Desperate Situation

To be honest, Lü Yang wasn't flustered at all.

After all, his main body was safely and securely living in the Dao Court. Even if True Monarch Qingcheng Feixue came, he would not be afraid, even with a celestial avatar between him and the main body.

It's nothing more than making the clone suffer a bit.

A clone is for this purpose.

Therefore, compared to Chongguang, who was right in front of him, Lü Yang was more curious about how Chongguang had found his clone. His thoughts raced:

'First of all, if you believe what the Holy Ancestor Zhenren says, you've already lost.'

Chongguang's one-sided story is just a way to fool people for free. If someone believed it, they probably wouldn't even be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage in the Holy Sect, let alone the Qi Refining Perfection stage.

In comparison, Lü Yang had more faith in his own judgment:
'Leave a mark on me. Even if it's an avatar, with my cultivation, even if Hongyun could leave a mark, it wouldn't go unnoticed by me.'

'However, Hongyun must have indeed left behind a method to sense the location of my clone, and then transmitted it through the mental connection with Hongju. But I've already stored his soul in the Myriad Spirits Banner, isolating it from cause and effect, so no one can sense it. In that case, there's only...'

After a moment's thought, Lü Yang smiled.

He opened his palm, and a dazzling divine light bloomed in his hand, instantly transforming into countless scenes, including flowers, birds, fish, insects, and beasts.

【Root of All Things】!
This divine power, which was taken from Hongyun, is ultimately an external entity, so it cannot be freely switched between Lü Yang's immortal embryo and his original body.

Therefore, it remained on the celestial embryo avatar.

Is this it?

Lu Yang looked at Chong Guang and chuckled: "Hong Yun, you underestimate him. He didn't tamper with me, or even with this supernatural power."

That's why I was completely unaware.

If I'm not mistaken, Hongyun should have left Hongju with a secret method to sense the "root of all things" or the location of Chen Earth.

"After all, among the Earthly Branches of this world, only the 'Root of All Things' in my possession is of the Yang element. It's as conspicuous as a candle in the darkness. I used the relationship between the 'Root of All Things' and good fortune to find his position, and he repaid me in kind."

In addition, there was another thing that surprised Lü Yang: Hongju.

Based on my experience from previous lives, Hongju can sense the change of ownership of the Hongyun Metal element. Given this, I thought he would choose to pledge allegiance to me.

After all, Hongju's life and death depended entirely on Hongyun Jinxing.

Therefore, Lü Yang had never worried about Hongju's problem before and had even ignored it, but he never expected that it would be Hongju who would run into trouble in the end.

'His loyalty to Hongyun is impossible.'

'The Holy Sect Master has always been opportunistic, he doesn't care about loyalty. When the Ninth Incarnation of Hongyun died, didn't he decisively pledge allegiance to Uncle-Master Chongguang?'

Then there is only one answer.

'He received a telepathic connection from Hongyun, and was convinced that Hongyun was doomed and Jinxing was doomed, so he contacted Chongguang to try and switch sides?'

This is not incomprehensible. After all, this judgment is actually quite correct. Hongyun Jinxing himself was going to burn it sooner or later. In his previous life, Hongju had surrendered to him, but after he burned Hongyun Jinxing, he probably had a lot of bad luck and died a very miserable death.

This time, Hongju was clearly much smarter.

Ultimately, it comes down to the information gap. At the last moment, Hongyun clearly recalled many past events and passed them all on to Hongju without reservation.

With different information, Hongju's choices naturally differed greatly.

In a flash, Lü Yang had figured out the cause and effect of his clone being discovered, and his expression became increasingly calm and composed:
"Fellow Daoist, bluffing will only reveal your weakness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chongguang narrowed his eyes and then shook his head: "It's not bluffing, I just wanted to see what you're capable of, fellow Daoist."

Sure enough!

Lu Yang sneered inwardly: Chongguang, you old thief! I knew you were just fooling me, deliberately intimidating my clone, trying to scare me out of my true nature?

The next second, Chongguang continued:
"Although Fellow Daoist Hongju said that you are the incarnation of Angxiao, after careful examination, I think it should just be a misunderstanding."

Chongguang has his own judgment.

Hongyun had clearly become somewhat obsessive by the end, but he was different. As an outsider, he could view Lü Yang's existence from a more rational perspective.

"The person who gave me the information about the grotto-heaven must have been you, fellow Daoist," Chongguang said calmly. "That fragment of the grotto-heaven is very strange. After we returned to the sect, we consulted the records, but we couldn't find any relevant information until we suddenly heard the name 'Angxiao' from Hongju."

Suddenly, everything became clear. Only then did Chongguang realize that the name [Angxiao] had already appeared in the ancient texts he had consulted, but he had completely overlooked it.

Lord Feixue was almost driven mad with anger.

However, this is a delicate matter. If the fragments of the cave are related to [Angxiao], and Lü Yang is the one who gave him the information, then a contradiction arises.

Therefore, Chongguang concludes:
“Fellow Daoist is not [Angxiao]. On the contrary, you should have some grudge against [Angxiao], which is why you are opposing him.”

Lu Yang remained noncommittal, then changed the subject: "It seems you didn't have True Monarch Qingcheng Feixue overseeing things this time?"

"No need."

Chongguang shook his head: "This matter is a tacit understanding between me and Zhenjun. She granted my request, gave me a chance, and did not interfere, which is why she sent me to find you, fellow Daoist."

"So?" Lü Yang countered, "What does Fellow Daoist want me to do?"

"This is the Earthly Divine Power of Chen".

Chongguang remained calm and pointed to the [Root of All Things] in Lü Yang's hand: "It belongs to the Yang element and is associated with Chen Earth. I wish to use it to seek metal. May I ask if you, fellow Daoist, would be willing to assist me?"

“I learned about your supernatural powers from Hongju. If you can strip away supernatural powers, you can also bestow them. If you were to strip away my Chen Earth supernatural power [Yinlong Water] and give me this [Root of All Things], perhaps I could eliminate the flaws in my Dao foundation.”

Chongguang proposed a bold plan.

Even Lü Yang hadn't considered this plan: using the "Enlightened Ruler" to help someone gain supernatural powers? Was it feasible? Lü Yang rapidly deduced the possibilities using his own cultivation.
'.feasible!'

In an instant, Lü Yang's expression shifted slightly: "Changing supernatural powers is not impossible, but in that case, you would have to be affected by my innate supernatural power."

This is not a joke.

Given the domineering nature of [Heavenly Fire], if he helps Chongguang change his supernatural powers, it means that Chongguang has already become his subordinate, and he can hold the power of life and death!
This is no different from entering the Ten Thousand Spirits Banner.

Would Shigemitsu be willing?

Under Lü Yang's gaze, Chong Guang was only stunned for a moment after hearing his explanation, then nodded: "I see, then forget it."

He doesn't want to!
At this moment, Lü Yang's feelings suddenly became somewhat complicated.

Because he understood:
Despite the frightening appearance of Chongguang, who even found his clone out of thin air, he was actually the one who was driven to the brink of despair and had nowhere to turn.

There is no "Heaven of No Existence" in this life.

If [Wu You Tian] does not emerge, Chong Guang will only be able to fight Fu Deng Huo to the death. If it were Lü Yang in this situation, he would agree to any condition.

However, Chongguang refused.

Like Qingcheng Feixue Zhenjun, he also had his own principles. He needed help from others and made deals with them, but in the end, he always relied on himself.

"Yes, being controlled by others and relying on them has never been in my uncle's nature."

In other words, Chongguang would never accept the Wanling Banner.

To get him into the banner, you'd have to kill him, but what use would a dead Chongguang be even if he became a banner spirit? Lü Yang has no shortage of banner spirits like that.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang actually smiled:
'This is truly Uncle-Master Chongguang!'

The next second, just as Chongguang turned around to leave, Lü Yang spoke up: "If you are willing, I do have other methods."

Plans can never keep up with changes.

Originally, Lü Yang planned to take his Uncle-Master Chongguang as a banner spirit and then give him the position of [Seven Luminaries Heaven] after he successfully obtained the gold.

As for [Covering Lamp Fire], it's only good for threatening [Angxiao].

Could this really ruin Angxiao's path? The risk is too great. Lu Yang has always harbored deep fear of this Holy Sect Grand True Lord.

But now, he has changed his mind.

With this thought in mind, Lü Yang condensed his consciousness and slowly formed a radiant contract at his fingertips, which he then lightly presented to Chong Guang.

Immediately afterwards, Lü Yang chuckled:
"Fellow Daoist, let's do something big."
