Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 535 The Fundamental Mystery of the Soil on the City Wall!

"Qiang Qiang!"

As Lü Yang finished speaking, the [Dragon and Snake Coiling Shadow Bodhisattva], whose soul was still being burned by the heavenly fire, could no longer suppress the injuries on his body.

The next second, a golden light emerged from his soul, then transformed into a thick scripture. It flipped through the pages, revealing dense Sanskrit characters, each symbolizing a change in imagery. With a joyful trembling sound, it landed in Lü Yang's hand.

It is the "Chengyang Book".

Seeing this, the [Dragon and Snake Coiling Shadow Bodhisattva] was so angry that his soul almost exploded. That was his natal spiritual treasure! Now it didn't even look at him.

What angered him even more was...

Faced with the [Chengyang Book] which offered its allegiance, Lü Yang was completely unconcerned. He grabbed it and refined it, directly turning the spiritual treasure back into spiritual material.

This feeling is like his wife, whom he cherished dearly, willingly falling into someone else's arms, preferring to be wantonly ravaged and tormented rather than return to his side. As a result, he has to watch all sorts of thoughts unfold before his eyes, driving [Dragon and Snake Coiling Shadow Bodhisattva] almost to madness.

"Too much deception! Too much deception!"

The Bodhisattva of Dragon and Snake Coiling Shadow roared angrily, but his soul could do nothing, as it was already held in the palm of Lü Yang's Dharma body.

This scene was witnessed by the entire province of Jiangxi.

The majestic Dharma body stood tall, a dazzling Buddha light surging left and right in the palm of its hand, yet it could never escape the Five Finger Mountain, which was comparable to a continent and held in the air.

Such a sight could hardly help but send chills down one's spine.

However, Lü Yang did not show any sign of relaxation. The flames in his palm continued to burn the soul of the [Dragon and Snake Coiling Shadow Bodhisattva] as he looked up quietly at the sky.

'Are there any other methods?'

Once the [Dragon and Snake Coiling Shadow Bodhisattva] is completely killed by him, then the situation in Jiangxi will truly be settled. However, it is clear that the Pure Land will not sit idly by.

'Perhaps the Dao Lord of the Dao Court is present on the World Honored One's side, and since I haven't touched the [city wall soil], it's unlikely he'll personally deal with me. At most, he'll just brush past me, triggering unforeseen circumstances to deal with me. And now, the only variable that could potentially influence the outcome of the battle is...'

With this thought in mind, Lü Yang suddenly raised his head and looked towards the direction of Jiangbei.

Jiangbei, a secret realm for refining magic.

Within the unopened secret realm, mountains, rivers, sun, and moon have not yet appeared, and many other sights exist only in the wandering of souls, among which two souls stand out the most.

One is Angxiao, and the other is Mu Changsheng.

However, Angxiao was not in a good mood at this moment. His divine sense was disturbed, and he projected an image, which showed Lü Yang, who had finally won a great victory.

'Pure Land. Incompetent!'

[Angxiao] cursed under his breath, the feedback from the cause-and-effect calculation made him grit his teeth—he never expected that [Dragon and Snake Coiling Shadow Bodhisattva] would be defeated so easily!

Although he was an outsider, he was still a True Lord and had received the Pure Land's inheritance. Yet he was utterly defeated by a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was merely a fake Golden Position holder. He had disgraced all True Lords, especially since he had previously hoped that the Pure Land could solve the problem of Lü Yang for him.

However, when Angxiao deduced that Lü Yang was falsely possessing Heavenly Fire, he fell silent again, replaced by a deep chill.

'Could it be that he really has to prove [Heavenly Fire]?'

The second supreme position!
It was because he had attained the Supreme Fruit that Angxiao knew just how difficult it was to attain this fruit; it was definitely not something that could be determined by talent alone.

In this world, connections and influence matter!
He [Angxiao] was able to prove it back then because he had the background of the Holy Sect and also caught the good time of the heavenly change. But what makes this demonic dragon so special?
Who is orchestrating this?

【Angxiao】Thinking about it, it was terrifying. But just as his mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, he saw Lü Yang, who was standing with his hands behind his back in the scene of cause and effect, suddenly turn around.

"If you wish to see, why don't you come closer and take a look?"

Lu Yang's laughter traveled along the web of cause and effect. Although it was a joke, Angxiao sensed an extremely fierce killing intent in it.

[Angxiao] frowned upon seeing this.

But a moment later, his brows relaxed, and he laughed heartily: "Good, good junior! I know where you're from now, you're just like that shrew!"

"You all come from that place!"

"What?" In Jiangxi, Lü Yang's smile remained unchanged, but inwardly he was filled with suspicion. Was the shrew referring to True Lord Feixue? What did she mean by "we are the same"?
What place is that?
Before Lü Yang could figure it out, the next second, he saw a beam of Buddhist light suddenly rise from the Pure Land Mahavira Hall that he had previously trampled down.

Within the Buddha's light, layers of light and shadow suddenly appeared, seemingly no bigger than a mustard seed, yet containing the vastness of Mount Sumeru. Faintly visible were images of the Heavenly Capital Jade Fortress, the Imperial City Golden City, a dragon coiled for thousands of miles, and a tiger crouching in the four directions, among others. In the end, they intertwined and melted together, creating a flawless and illusory rainbow.

【Soil from the city wall】!
Upon seeing this, Lü Yang's pupils shrank sharply, almost thinking that the unity of the Pure Land had collapsed. But upon further sensing, he discovered that [City Wall Soil] had not gone berserk.

In other words——

'Is someone actively reviving it?'

Lu Yang's gaze narrowed slightly, instantly piercing through the numerous obstacles, and he saw five solemn-looking monks standing below the [city wall soil].

Behind each monk stands a statue of a deity.

[Appearing the world], [Purifying the world], [Standing in the world], [Listening to the world], [Observing the world]!
The Five Characteristics, Return!

Guangming Buddhist disciple's previous words were by no means false. If the World-Honored One were willing, he could enlighten ten or a hundred Dharma forms with a mere flick of his wrist, without expending any effort whatsoever.

'You shameless bastard!'

Lu Yang couldn't help but curse inwardly.

The Buddha's failure to descend to earth once was bad enough, but to do it a second time showed his utter lack of restraint, leaving people both angry and helpless.

"Boom!"

Without any hesitation, golden light shone in Lü Yang's eyes, his gaze instantly burning through the five Dharma forms that had reappeared, and incidentally reaping another wave of their golden nature.

However, he dared not relax in the slightest.

The Buddha knew that he could use the Dharma-form of metal to prolong the false existence, yet he still descended the Dharma-form and activated the "city wall soil," which must have been for another purpose.

Can the soil from the city walls change the course of the battle?

Lu Yang was puzzled. He had also cultivated [City Wall Soil] before, but to be honest, he didn't think that a single application of City Wall Soil could turn the tide.

Even if they used the fundamental mysteries of [City Wall Soil], they couldn't possibly kill me in one move.

'What does he want to do?'

As Lü Yang pondered, he focused intently, preparing to receive the impending fatal blow. However, the outcome was not quite what he had imagined.

In a daze, it seemed as if a gentle breeze had blown by.

That was the light of the "City Wall Soil." Under its illumination, the entire world seemed to become a flat surface, a picture full of wrinkles.

Then it twists and changes—

At this moment, Lü Yang finally understood the fundamental mystery of the Earth Element Supreme Fruit, and why the World Honored One placed such high hopes on it.

Its name is: 【Holding the Past and Present】!
At this moment, under the radiant light of the [City Wall Soil], Lü Yang suddenly realized that a certain predetermined "cause" in the world had been suddenly changed.

Jiangbei, the Secret Realm of Cultivation

Angxiao suddenly froze, because at that very moment, his memories became chaotic, and a non-existent memory surfaced:
'Previously, I possessed the body of the [Dragon and Snake Coiling Shadow Bodhisattva], seizing [White Wax Gold] and [Sand in Soil]. I thought I had completely severed ties with the [Dragon and Snake Coiling Shadow Bodhisattva] and returned him to the Pure Land, but in reality, because I was merely a divine consciousness, not the true body, I made some oversights in my actions.'

In other words, I didn't cut it cleanly.

'Not only that, I also "accidentally" left some of the power of [White Wax Gold] and [Sand in Earth] within the body of [Dragon and Snake Coiling Shadow Bodhisattva].'

—This is the reason.

The change in the "cause" also brings new variables to the "effect":
'Therefore, now I can easily reclaim the [Dragon and Snake Coiling Shadow Bodhisattva], and even borrow some of the power of [White Wax Gold] and [Sand in Soil].'

At this moment, Angxiao finally understood:
'By altering cause and effect, and grasping the past and present, once the causes of the past are changed, new effects for the future naturally arise. This is the fundamental mystery of the "City Wall Soil"!'
