Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 536 Unwilling! Disbelieving! Unconvinced!

After a brief silence, [Angxiao] spoke.

"This is truly a calamity."

The tone was calm, but the speaker was not his broken divine sense, but the soul of the [Dragon and Snake Coiling Shadow Bodhisattva] that was currently held in Lü Yang's hand!
In an instant, Lü Yang's pupils contracted slightly.

However, the next second, the [Dragon and Snake Coiling Shadow Bodhisattva], or rather, [Angxiao], moved, and a brilliant golden light suddenly shone on his body.

This brilliant light, intertwined with the light of the sun and moon, and condensing the yin and yang energies, is precisely the imagery of [White Wax Gold].

However, this position was countered by Lü Yang's [Heavenly Fire]. Once it was used, [Angxiao] not only failed to escape, but his situation became even more difficult.

But the next second, Lü Yang saw a second illusory light appear, reflecting the changing hills and valleys, and the image of dragons and snakes coiling and hiding. It was the [Sand in Soil]. The two illusory lights intertwined, forming the image of "Soil that receives the sun, releases fire to generate metal", turning the original restraint into mutual generation!
"Boom!"

With a loud bang, [Angxiao] rode a streak of light and escaped from Lü Yang's palm in the blink of an eye, landing in the distance. He actually managed to escape!

Seeing this, Lü Yang was speechless for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled:

"I've learned something new."

This is not a difference in cultivation level, but a difference in pure Daoist cultivation. [Angxiao] managed to find a way out of the desperate situation by relying on his profound Daoist cultivation!
'I knew the variable lay with [Angxiao]. Truly worthy of being called the World Honored One.'

Lu Yang glanced to the side and saw that the [City Wall Soil], which had just reversed everything, was now dim and dissipated like smoke, quickly disappearing from the present world.

On the other side, Angxiao stretched out his arms and legs to his heart's content. The images of White Wax Gold and Sand in Earth intertwined above his head to form a radiant light. However, these two images were not inexhaustible, since their respective positions were currently in the Underworld, so they would be gone once used up.

However, Angxiao remains very confident.

'Strictly speaking, my current strength is inferior to that of this demonic dragon, but my higher cultivation level is enough to cover up all my weaknesses.'

Without a doubt, he was very weak at that moment.

The main body is trapped in the underworld, and the [Barrier of Knowledge] is almost ruined. It can still be used for Foundation Establishment cultivators, but it's just a tickle to Golden Core cultivators. It's basically not worth using it for combat.

The only thing he can use is the external path status of the [Dragon and Snake Coiling Shadow Bodhisattva] himself, and the limited imagery of [White Wax Gold] and [Sand in Soil]. However, these are just imagery and not profound. If the true nature of the status were truly profound, he would have a 100% chance of winning, but now he probably only has a 60% chance.

'This shows that even the soil on the city walls has its limits.'

If it were truly possible to arbitrarily alter cause and effect and reverse the present world, then why not simply set a cause for Lü Yang's sudden death and then wait for him to die?

There will inevitably be many restrictions involved.

The judgments that Angxiao can make, Lü Yang can also make. In fact, because he has worked on the City Wall Soil, his judgments are even more accurate.
"【Holding onto the past and present】, changing the causes of the past to achieve the results of the present—this is a profound mystery capable of altering history! However, this causal change must meet certain conditions, like my 【Heavenly Fire】. These conditions likely lie in the people who witness it; the more people who know, the harder it becomes to change!"

Lü Yang's judgment was based on a very simple basis:
'That's how it is with the Heavenly Fire; the rules it establishes cannot conflict with each other, so the cause and effect altered by the City Wall Soil should also be so!'

After all, the more people witness the existing cause and effect, the more rigorous it becomes, as unshakable as a rock. If the modified cause and effect conflict with the existing cause and effect, unless there is a sufficiently strong power to suppress the conflict, the modified cause and effect will inevitably be defeated in the end.

"call!"

After completely clearing his mind, Lü Yang's mood calmed down. He looked calmly at Ang Xiao, then suddenly spoke softly:

"Senior, are you just going to let the World Honored One do as he pleases?"

"Not really."

Angxiao shook his head: "You want to reverse the Chentu. You and I are inherently enemies. It's just that the World Honored One has taken advantage of this karma."

Lü Yang smiled calmly.

To be honest, neither Chentu nor Angxiao has anything to do with him in this life, and he has every reason to choose to withdraw from the world. After all, Angxiao has made it very clear that the cause and effect between them is entirely due to Lü Yang's ability to reverse Chentu. Therefore, as long as he gives up reversing Chentu, there will be no fundamental conflict between him and Angxiao. The two sides can completely turn hostility into friendship, and it will only be a little more hardship before Chongguang returns.

'However, I refuse!'

Lü Yang shook his head. This was not for any noble reason, but for a very simple personal thought: those who rule the world only ever move forward.

If it fades away, the imagery weakens.

[Heavenly Fire] is domineering and never compromises. Even if no one in the world cultivates, it will not lower its requirements for those who seek gold.

How can someone in such a position accept someone who compromises?

In other words, while Angxiao's words seem to be seeking a win-win situation, they actually harbor malicious intentions and are meant to sabotage his path to becoming a Heavenly Fire!
'Fine, let's give it a try.'

Lü Yang took a step forward.

Back then, when he was still in the late stage of Qi Refining, he faced the Peak Master of Mending Heaven in the same way, and fiercely drew his sword. Now, however, that feeling has gradually become blurred.

'Looking back...'

This desolate place has long been a stagnant pool. Thinking back carefully, in his ten lifetimes of cultivation, he had seen many heroes, each one a leader of their time.

Master Tingyou, Uncle Chongguang, Master Dangmo, Fellow Daoist Suohuan, and True Person Xiantian bluntly stated that their talents, temperament, and abilities were all superior to their own, yet none of them had truly succeeded in their pursuit of gold; at most, they had attained the unorthodox status of "Wuyoutian."

This is not due to ability, but rather to good fortune.

Tingyou survived for a thousand years, Chongguang was reincarnated with resentment, Dangmo sacrificed himself to the sword, Suohuan died with regret, all their innate schemes came to naught, and none of them had a good ending!
Is it really that irresistible?
Are the great figures in the heavens, the lofty True Lords and Dao Masters, truly unable to overturn the chess game they have set up, and are they destined to be nothing more than pawns?
I don't believe it.

Lü Yang continued forward.

Flames began to ignite on his body, and the flames coiled into a ring behind his head, radiating a halo of light that seemed to bathe almost half of Jiangxi in flames.

"."

At this moment, Angxiao did not speak. He just looked at Lü Yang and met his indifferent eyes, but it was as if he saw a raging fire in them.

Suddenly, he sighed:
You are a lot like me.

Young and arrogant, they didn't know their own limitations. With a little talent, they became overconfident, only to understand the cruel truths of the world after they grew up.

He has matured and gained understanding.

So he went to the Underworld for help. Despite being the first in the world to attain the supreme status, he chose to fake his death and disappear without a trace.

But Lü Yang didn't.

'There's no other underworld you can hide in, yet you insist on proving the power of heavenly fire, and you want it openly and publicly, under the watchful eyes of everyone.'

A dead end.

Even if it succeeds, it will only be a shooting star in the sky, a fleeting moment, what's the point?
[Angxiao] pulled himself out of his thoughts, and the slight ripples in his eyes returned to calm. He had his own path to walk, and a little sentimentality could not change his determination.

"Boom!"

The next second, the earth and sky shook violently!

In Lü Yang's heart, the experiences of ten lifetimes served as fuel, igniting a raging fire, leading him to take the final step towards the heavens, towards the Pure Land, and towards the world:
"I don't agree!"
