Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 522 Do it! Don't be a coward! (Bonus Chapter)
The sky was filled with golden clouds, auspicious clouds surged forth, and colorful rain fell from the sky, finally revealing a magnificent pure land and a great Buddha sitting in it.

"when!"

The melodious sound of bells came from the deepest part of the Pure Land, but only Lü Yang heard it. Even Empress Xiao, who was lying next to him at that moment, was completely unaware of it.

In a daze, he seemed to see that golden Buddha amidst the sea of ​​clouds in that pure land, looking towards him from afar across thousands of mountains and rivers. His body was constructed from countless, densely packed Buddhist practitioners, all making the same expression, the same gesture, and the same voice:
"Amitabha."

The chanting of Buddhist prayers resounded like a sledgehammer striking Lü Yang directly on the head, yet he remained standing still, his expression unchanged.

'The five-thousand-year-old taboo, though poisonous, is also a true opportunity.'

Five thousand years ago, during the last great calamity, at least three thousand years have mysteriously disappeared, seemingly interrupted by the World-Honored One.

Why did the Buddha do this?

Where are the lost three thousand years?
'The World Honored One wouldn't do something so strenuous and thankless. Such a grand undertaking must be extremely crucial, perhaps even involving the secrets of his Nascent Soul!'

Otherwise, why would the Buddha be so wary of the person who discovered this taboo?
Therefore, it can be seen that this taboo may not have truly touched upon the Buddha's secrets, but it is at least a key clue to unlocking the Buddha's secrets.

Such knowledge is poison for those who are building a foundation.

However, for a Golden Core True Monarch, it is undoubtedly a great opportunity, after all, it is the path of the Nascent Soul, which many True Monarchs desire but cannot find the way to.

Thinking about this, Lü Yang began to ponder another question:
'The taboo I just discovered—that knowledge [Angxiao] clearly also knows, otherwise he wouldn't have used it to trap me. So why is he unharmed?'

【Angxiao】is located far away in the underworld and cannot interfere with the present world.

A single divine thought can at most survive by relying on the [Barrier of Knowledge], and its strength is not enough. Even he himself cannot dodge it, so how can he dodge it?

What's the difference between him and myself?
There's also the innate true master Mu Changsheng. The taboo of five thousand years is something that even Golden Core True Monarchs probably rarely notice. So how could he know it?
In a flash, Lü Yang had already arrived at the answer:

'It's a secret realm for refining techniques!'

The reason for this is that the refining secret realm created by the Holy Sect's patriarch likely ensures that one remains unaffected by forbidden knowledge while within that realm!

Upon realizing this, Lü Yang suddenly understood:

"That's right, Angxiao didn't know that forbidden knowledge from the beginning either. He was initially tricked by me into going to find the innate master Mu Changsheng."

'At most, he knows that the cultivation realm is not simple and may contain great opportunities.'

But after seeing Mu Changsheng, the situation changed.

'He possesses more secrets and knows more hidden matters than I do. Mu Changsheng's existence allowed him to deduce the truth behind a five-thousand-year-old taboo!'

'Because it was within the secret realm of the cultivation technique, the World Honored One didn't discover it. But I'm different. I'm in the mortal world, so as soon as I learned of that taboo, the World Honored One immediately sensed it. As for [Angxiao], if nothing unexpected happens, his divine consciousness is now practically nonexistent.'

Now, Angxiao can only stay in the Refining Secret Realm.

Once he leaves the Refining Realm, the World Honored One will sense that his divine thought is doomed to die, and he can now be considered a fellow prisoner of Mu Changsheng.

'That's really something.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang suddenly chuckled. Even though it seemed like he had been tricked by [Angxiao] again, people had different perspectives from the same angle.

In Angxiao's case, this would probably be a situation of utter helplessness.

After all, he tried so hard, used every trick in the book, and even went so far as to self-destruct, but he just couldn't die, like a cockroach.

Even now, while this forbidden knowledge is giving Lü Yang a headache, dealing with it is simple—just erase the relevant memories.

Ignorance is bliss. This place is so treacherous; sometimes ignorance makes it easier to succeed, while the more you know, the faster you often perish.

Upon realizing this, Lü Yang immediately activated his divine sense.

The next second, all the forbidden knowledge he had just deduced, the problems in the five-thousand-year timeline, disappeared, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

What was I just thinking?

No, don't delve into it further.

Lu Yang abruptly stopped his divination. Although he didn't know what he had forgotten, the lingering sense of fortune and misfortune told him that this was a good thing.

Looking towards Jiangxi, the magnificent Pure Land, with its golden Buddha amidst clouds and sea of ​​clouds, seemed to have undergone a change. The Buddhist affinity and karma that had originally been attached to Lü Yang gradually dimmed. Clearly, as long as Lü Yang didn't delve into that taboo, he would be fine. However, in the next second—

"Boom!"

The Dao Laws of the Immortal Kingdom descended, and a vast amount of knowledge flooded into Lü Yang's mind, actually restoring the memories he had just deliberately forgotten.

In an instant, all was silent.

In the direction of Jiangxi, the smiling golden Buddha amidst the sea of ​​clouds seemed to freeze for a moment, and the compassionate smile on its face stiffened instantly.

"What the hell!?"

Even Lü Yang hadn't expected this. His mouth gaped slightly as he subconsciously looked at the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws], only to find it shining brighter than ever before.

'Is this... going to turn into a fight?'

Lu Yang lowered his head, trying his best to keep his expression from escaping his lips. Under these circumstances, the operation of the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Law] could only mean one thing:
'The Dao Lord of the Dao Court!'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang's expression was strange, yet he felt it was only natural: after all, if things continued like this, everyone would still think that the World Honored One was the number one in the world!
At this moment, dark clouds inexplicably appeared over the entire Jiangdong region, covering the sky and thundering, as if reflecting the thoughts of this world.

Meanwhile, in Jiangxi, the once magnificent and pristine land fell into silence. The chanting of sutras disappeared, and the Buddha's light seemed to freeze. Only the golden Buddha in the sea of ​​clouds sat upright, its originally compassionate and serene smile turning into a fierce and wrathful expression, as if it were staring at something invisible from afar.

'The Dao Lord himself is here? No, that doesn't seem right.'

Lu Yang had personally witnessed the Dao Lord descend to earth. At that time, the World Honored One truly cast his gaze upon him, and he vividly remembered the immense power that made heaven and earth tremble.

There's still a long way to go in this area.

'It doesn't feel like the true form of the Dao Lord; this feeling is more like a change in the Dao Lord's emotions, triggering a confrontation between their respective Dao lineages in an instant.'

However, there is no doubt that in response to the World Honored One's increased stake, the Dao Lord of the Dao Court also demonstrated His attitude:

Do it, don't back down!
Lü Yang straightened his back instantly.

'I always said that my cultivation of Heavenly Fire in this life is actually a great thing for the Dao Court, and the Dao Lord should be delighted to see it.'

Moreover, the Dao Court has already had its [City Wall Soil] stolen once by the World Honored One, and now it wants to steal [Heavenly Fire] as well. No one can accept that.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang's eyes brightened slightly.

At that moment, he had a bold idea:

'Since I also have the Dao Lord backing me up, and the Buddha's disciple isn't the true World Honored One, why not take a big gamble and directly assume the golden throne, then go and destroy that damned World Honored One?'

　I set my alarm to wake up this morning to catch up on what I missed yesterday. Tonight at 10 pm as usual, there will be four updates.
