Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 541 The atmosphere of Chongguang, where variables lie!
Lu Yang didn't give Chongguang time to question him. As soon as he finished speaking, the [Yanmo Palace] was already in his palm, once again radiating dazzling light.

"Boom!"

Despite the passage of ten years, when this radiant light rose into the sky and ignited the sparks, it still attracted the attention of countless Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The radiance emanating from the fruition descended from the heavens, sweeping away all gloom and suppressing countless forces. In an instant, the five regions of heaven and earth fell into silence, making everyone understand that the sun that had hung above them for ten years was still bright and magnificent.

Almost simultaneously, in the underworld.

[Angxiao] suddenly opened his eyes, feeling the turbulence of the causal network and the intense malice directed at him; his face instantly turned ashen.
"It was bound to happen eventually."

Thinking of this, Angxiao couldn't help but exhale a deep breath. His five thousand years of planning had ultimately failed at the hands of a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He had many guesses about Lü Yang.

However, he considered only one guess to be the most likely:
'He might be from the future.'

After all, that place is where the Buddha attained enlightenment, and it continues to this day. Although it is similar to the present world, it is not entirely unrelated.

'Only in this way can we explain why he could hit my weak points so accurately and know me so well. Because he had already experienced that place once before. It's just that, like that shrew, he got lucky—or maybe someone guided him.'

[Angxiao] The more I think about it, the more my head aches.

Because if there really was a powerful being who could rescue people from 'that place', then the only person he could think of was his own Holy Sect's mysterious and unpredictable ancestor.

After all, that was the Buddha's private property.

The problem is, why did the founder bring out such a guy to oppose him? Am I no longer the founder's most trusted disciple?
Back then, it was clear
Stop.

[Angxiao] abruptly stopped thinking, then activated [Barrier of Knowledge], smoothly erasing this thought, and then his mind shifted:
'That's enough, that's enough.'

Raising his head, Angxiao looked out of the Underworld. He had already sensed the changes to come, but he was not discouraged. Instead, a smile appeared on his face.
"You are superior. When the True Lord of the World reappears, I will play a new game with you."

The next second—

"Boom!"

In the present world, Lü Yang did not hesitate at all. With the imagery of "Covering the Lamp Fire", he reversed the situation and restored the Earthly Branches of the world to the Yang category!

However, that is not enough.

After all, Chongguang had done the same thing before.

The key lies in the Chen Earth of [Angxiao], which is the source of the reversal of all Chen Earth in the world, but [Angxiao] has hidden it in the deepest part of the Underworld.

At this moment, this source of celestial soil also began to change!
The intense yin energy that had been there before quietly dissipated, as if light had emerged from the dust, revealing a profound image of extreme yang and strength!

Chen Earth returns to Yang!

[Angxiao] could only sigh. After all, Lü Yang was restoring order and achieving twice the result with half the effort, while his reversal of Chentu was going against the will of Heaven and achieving half the result with twice the effort.

Can't stop it!
The next second, Angxiao saw that the power that originally belonged to Changliushui and Fudenghuo on his body was rapidly drawn away.

"Boom!"

Without the support of two higher-level positions, the palace where [Angxiao] resided trembled violently, and an indescribable, terrifying pressure suddenly descended.

At the critical moment, [Angxiao] suddenly formed a hand seal in front of his chest and uttered a Daoist chant:

"An illusion! There are no living people in the underworld!"

"You saw it wrong!"

"stop looking!"

The terrifying [Barrier of Knowledge], carried by the sound of the Dao, enveloped [Angxiao]'s dwelling place like a thin veil, making it seem as if it had never existed at all.

Even so, the invisible, terrifying pressure continued to sweep over the location of [Angxiao], as if it had some doubts. Only after several scans failed to find anything did this terrifying pressure gradually dissipate, and the underworld, which had been running rampant as if in response, returned to a state of silence.

"call!"

Seeing this, Angxiao breathed a sigh of relief. He was just a hair's breadth away from being discovered if his perception barrier was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm!
'Fortunately, I have control over both [White Wax Gold] and [Sand in Soil], so the three elements can still support my late-stage Golden Core level. Otherwise, if Chen Earth were to return to Yang, and all my fruit positions were to leave me, I fear I would immediately fall to the mid-stage Golden Core level, and being exposed in the Underworld, I might even lose my life!'

In this way, it is already a stroke of good fortune amidst misfortune.

Looking at the palace, which was now much smaller than before, Angxiao couldn't help but smile bitterly. However, he quickly composed himself and began to regulate his breathing to recover. As for the anger over losing Chentu, the helplessness of his declining cultivation level, and the disappointment of his plans falling through, he suppressed all these negative emotions deep in his heart.

The pursuit of the Tao is inherently fraught with difficulties.

As long as he is not dead, there is still hope. Focusing on the past will only lead to confusion; his vision will always be directed towards the future.

A long time passed like this—

"Oh shit!"

From within the underworld, a roar that could no longer be suppressed and was released finally rang out.

What expression does Angxiao have right now?

Lu Yang stroked his chin, somewhat regretting that he couldn't see it. Then he used the [True Method of Kan-Li Position Shift] to transform into a false Heavenly Fire.

Immediately afterwards, he reached into his robes and took out a golden light.

【White Dragon Metal Nature】.

Now that things have come to this, Lü Yang has long since become the head of the Dragon Clan, and he can freely use the Dragon Palace's treasure trove. A single strand of gold is nothing to him.

[Stripped]!
After merging this golden essence to replenish the energy consumed by the false holding, Lü Yang then retracted his energy and dispelled the false holding state.

Turning around, I saw Chongguang with a solemn expression:
"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for opening the path for me to seek gold."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chongguang reached into his robes and took out a jade box and a jade slip, which he solemnly handed to Lü Yang.

"Although I, Chongguang, am ruthless in my actions, I never owe anyone favors."

"Those who harmed me will not escape, but I will also never forget the great kindness of those who helped me. Let these two items settle the score."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang was stunned.

He helped Chongguang reverse the Chentu (辰土) principle, but he had no ulterior motives. He was simply preparing to seek gold, which is why he planned to fulfill his promise before seeking gold.

There's no trickery involved, he's a good person!
Although he hadn't figured out what the missing "final step" was, continuing to wait would only be a waste of time. Anyway, he still had the [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes], which gave him room for trial and error. He could just take a gamble. Even if he failed, as long as he could figure out which step was missing, he wouldn't have lost out.

I never expected there would be such an unexpected bonus?

Lu Yang took the jade box and scanned it with his divine sense. His eyes flickered slightly: what was inside the box was an extremely vast amount of extraterrestrial fruit-level energy!

'This is the Qi of the Myriad Martial Realm!'

'Moreover, it is extremely vast; it probably won't be enough to collect it in one go. If I were to absorb it, my [Heavenly All-Encompassing Dharma Body] would undoubtedly reach perfection!'

In an instant, Lü Yang understood Chong Guang's original plan: if he didn't give him the ability to reverse the Chen Tu, he would probably use the Qi he had gathered to seek a position in the Wanwu Realm. Although the Outer Path True Monarch was far inferior, he was still a True Monarch, which could be considered a backup plan that Chong Guang had prepared for himself.

But now, Lü Yang has reversed the fate of Chen Tu for him.

[Covering the Lamp Fire] had no obstacles on his path, and Chongguang was quite generous, reciprocating by giving him the Qi of [Ten Thousand Martial Realms] that he had painstakingly collected!

The rank and status within the "Myriad Martial Realms" actually overlap with the imagery of "Heavenly Fire."

"Therefore, if I refine this celestial energy and transform the [Heavenly Supreme Body of All Phenomena] into a [Heaven], it will also benefit my pursuit of gold!"

This is quite a generous gift!

What about the other one?

Lu Yang's gaze shifted to the jade slip Chong Guang had handed him, and he began to read its contents. However, his brows quickly furrowed.
'How could this be?!'

'【City Wall Soil】, Descendant of the Zouyu'

The contents of the jade slip were simple, yet they made Lü Yang's eyes light up: 'The descendants of the Zouyu within the Holy Sect. I understand! I know where I'm missing!'

The final variable in the pursuit of gold lies with the descendants of the Zouyu of the Holy Ancestor!

　The fourth update will be made tomorrow morning. Also, I'd like to recommend another book.
