Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 523 The true method of Kanli's phase shift
Although the thought of "exploding with the World Honored One" was very tempting, Lü Yang took a deep breath and suppressed this somewhat dangerous and audacious idea.

It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with it, but rather that the timing was wrong.

'I know nothing about the current situation in the Pure Land of Jiangxi. I only know that the World-Honored One has given blessings and strengthened the disciples of the Buddha, but I don't know exactly where those blessings were given.'

Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to survive a hundred battles.

If you rashly feign a gold position, what if the other party happens to have a countermeasure and tries to delay you beyond the time limit for your feigned gold position?

'No rush, respond to all changes with constancy.'

Thinking this through, Lü Yang quickly sorted out his thoughts and realized that in the current situation, he didn't need to take the initiative; the World Honored One would come to him on his own.

'My most pressing concern is myself.'

Blacksmith need its own hardware.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang laughed instead, and simply ignored the golden Buddha in the clouds in the west, and got up and got off the dragon bed.

"Is this phenomenon related to you?"

Lu Yang looked toward the corner of the dragon bed and saw Empress Xiao pulling at a corner of the bedding, saying softly, "Xianfa of Jiangxi, it seems you really are not an incarnation of the World Honored One."

"What, are you scared?"

Lu Yang immediately saw the fear in Empress Xiao's eyes and smiled calmly. Empress Xiao, on the other hand, stared wide-eyed and asked him incredulously:
"Aren't you afraid?"

Lu Yang suddenly realized that to most True Immortals, the World Honored One was an extremely lofty figure. Even frying fish was something they could not withstand.

They should be afraid.

However, Lu Yang had experienced many trials and tribulations over the past ten lifetimes, and had lost all reverence for the World Honored One. Moreover, he now had the Dao Lord of the Dao Court backing him up. Judging from the feedback from the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws], the Dao Lord of the Dao Court clearly wanted him to be more spirited, not to lose face, and to fight the World Honored One.

Thinking of this, Lü Yang couldn't help but chuckle: "Actually, you'll get used to it after a few more times."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left Kunning Palace, arriving at the main hall of Tianwu. A moment later, a beam of light descended from the sky and entered the hall.

The newcomer exuded a sharp aura and had a solemn expression; it was none other than Chongguang.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Chongguang's gaze fell on Lü Yang, his eyes shining like candlelight, before he said in a deep voice, "Were you the one who came for us just now?"

"good."

Lu Yang said calmly, "As for the karmic connection between the Buddha and the Bodhisattva, it shouldn't be long before that Buddhist monk from Jiangxi comes to guide me to the Pure Land."

Chongguang frowned upon hearing this and whispered, "A pretense?"

Lu Yang shook his head and looked at Chongguang meaningfully: "If I were to pretend now, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to tolerate it, fellow Daoist. You should understand this."

If he pretends to hold on, he only has two choices.

He could either reverse the Earthly Branches, trick Angxiao, and then, to prevent Chongguang from seeking gold first and taking the initiative, simply kill him outright. Or he could not reverse the Earthly Branches and directly cut off Chongguang's path. It's conceivable that, either way, he and Chongguang would turn against each other.

Chongguang was clearly aware of this as well, and sighed softly.

Immediately afterwards, he reached into his robes and took out a jade slip, handing it to Lü Yang. The slip was decorated with sun and moon patterns, causing Lü Yang to raise an eyebrow slightly.

"This is."

"This was given to me by the Holy Sect before I left, by a group of Zouyu descendants they had collected," Chongguang said solemnly. "It contains a true method."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang immediately understood: It was stolen.

The next second, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes: "The true method corresponding to [Heavenly Fire]?"

Chongguang nodded. Seeing this, Lü Yang immediately took the jade slip and immersed himself in it, quickly learning the name of this true technique: the [True Technique of Shifting the Correct Positions of Kan and Li].

"Kan represents water, and Li represents fire. The interaction of water and fire signifies the transformation of Yin and Yang, which is also known as 'Heavenly Fire.' The so-called correct position of Kan and Li is the location of 'Heavenly Fire.' This true method was a wonderful method that the Zouyu royal family of the previous dynasty of the Daoist court specially sought out in order to obtain 'Heavenly Fire.'"

Chongguang gave a brief explanation.

Meanwhile, Lü Yang directly invoked the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws] for blessing, entering a super cultivation state and rapidly absorbing the knowledge of the true technique in his hands:
'This true technique is not for magical combat.'

Gradually, a look of understanding appeared on Lü Yang's face, even showing a hint of amazement: "This is a method of seeking the Dao that involves risking one's life and using small resources to achieve great things!"

"The Heavenly Fire is extremely rare, and the rituals are exceptionally demanding—everyone knows this. However, it is, after all, a supreme position, and how could it not be coveted? To attain this position, predecessors have exhausted every method and proposed countless solutions; this true method is the pinnacle among them."

The principle of true Dharma is also very simple:
'Directly proving the [Heavenly Fire] is hopeless due to issues with the ritual procedures. Therefore, let's find another way, a roundabout path to enlightenment.'

In short, one should cultivate other fire-elemental fruits first.

'After all, the conditions for other positions aren't so stringent. We can use this to seek gold first, and then activate this true method when we ascend to the blessed land.'

"At that time, as long as we can find the correct positions of Kan and Li, and locate the position of Heavenly Fire, we can use this true method to forcibly deflect the direction of flight, jumping from other fire-element positions to Heavenly Fire, and thus verifying Heavenly Fire, avoiding the stringent restrictions of the ritual."

It sounds very tempting.

However, this is actually a very risky move, because if one is cultivating other fire-elemental positions but seeking [heavenly fire], there is a high possibility of being rejected.

Even if we take a step back and say that this true method is difficult to begin with, it is very difficult to get started.

Because the correct positions of Kan and Li are extremely difficult to find, they are not fixed in a certain direction, but rather change constantly like waves, sometimes high and sometimes low.

Ultimately, it's just wishful thinking.

It's no wonder that the [Heavenly Fire] cultivators gradually disappeared. After all, compared to other positions, this position is not meant for people to attain enlightenment.

To be able to deduce such a true method, one can imagine that countless people must have followed one after another, sacrificing themselves for the cause. But even with such enormous sacrifices, the result was only a slight glimmer of hope. Before they could further refine it, they themselves were exhausted over the long years.

'but.'

Lu Yang pondered to himself that under the blessing of the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Law], his comprehension had greatly improved; otherwise, he would have summoned Ancestor Tingyou long ago.

Gradually, he began to have an idea:

'This true method may not be applicable to seeking wealth. However, if used in a false position of wealth, simply attaching oneself to it might actually produce some surprising results!'

After all, according to Master Tingyou, there are no restrictions on falsely holding the golden position in the [Yama Palace]! No rituals are needed; as long as one possesses the corresponding golden nature, one can falsely hold the corresponding position. Previously, one could only falsely hold the [Covering Lamp Fire] position, but if one adds the [True Method of Shifting the Correct Positions of Kan and Li] to adjust it—

'Perhaps I can feign possession of [Heavenly Fire]?'

Upon realizing this, Lü Yang's breathing became heavy. Although [Covering Lamp Fire] was not bad, it was utterly worthless compared to [Heavenly Fire].

'If there are no worries about the future, then it's worth a try.'

The next second, Xiao Shan, the current commander of the Imperial City Guard, strode into the Tianwu Hall, first bowing and saying "I am loyal," before speaking in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, an urgent report has arrived from the border."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang raised an eyebrow slightly: "What's going on?"

"It's Jiangxi!"

At this point, Xiao Shan seemed to recall a scene, and a look of fear appeared on his face: "According to the news report, a demonic monk has come from Jiangxi."

"He came from afar, saying he wanted to practice Buddhism."
