Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 549 The Four Dao Masters Serve Me

With a 90% chance of winning, death is inevitable!
The astonishing words were uttered by True Monarch Feixue, but Lü Yang's expression remained unchanged, only his face slightly tightened, as if he had already anticipated the answer.

Seeing this, the admiration in Feixue Zhenjun's eyes grew even stronger.

However, the next second, she suppressed the many emotions in her eyes and waved her hand: "Alright, go out. I'll be waiting to call you 'fellow Daoist' in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Yang saw billowing smoke and clouds rise again around him, obscuring countless scenes as they surged. When the smoke and clouds dissipated, he was already standing behind the threshold of Feixue Palace. Looking back, he saw Chongguang standing outside the threshold, a hint of surprise still lingering on his face.

'He's really inside. And he's in perfect condition.'

Chongguang had no doubt about Lü Yang's abilities. After all, the only condition for entering the palace was to remain still for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, something that even he, let alone Lü Yang, could do.

The problem is that it's in perfect condition.

You should know that every time he fought against the Flying Snow True Lord in the mirror, he really used all his skills and fought until he was exhausted before he could last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

He was even more weak after he came out.

However, Lü Yang was not like him. Not only was his energy complete, but he also showed a tendency to advance to a higher level. Clearly, it was not as simple as just one incense stick burning.

Upon realizing this, Chongguang immediately cupped his hands in a respectful gesture:

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist."

Lu Yang returned the greeting and then continued, "Please bring Yu Zhou and the Zouyu clan with you, fellow Daoist. The True Lord has already agreed to let them in."

Upon hearing this, Chongguang nodded and immediately pointed out a beam of light. A moment later, the beam of light brought over Yu Zhou, who looked apprehensive. In his hand, Yu Zhou was holding a superior spiritual treasure, a round bead containing a Sumeru. It was none other than the disciples of the Zouyu clan.

"Greetings, Your Excellency."

As soon as Yu Zhou landed, he hurriedly tried to kowtow and pay his respects, but Lü Yang stopped him with a gesture and then simply pulled him into the Feixue Palace.

"Come with me."

"The entrance to that distorted history is right here. I will take you back."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhou immediately showed a strange expression, keenly grasping the key point of Lü Yang's words: "Does Lord Lü intend to go in with us?"

"Yes, I'll go with you."

Lu Yang nodded, his eyes bright: "Possibility. I need to check the possibility of finding gold, after all, the waters in this wretched place are really too deep."

They have a 90% chance of succeeding in their quest for gold, but they will undoubtedly die.

why?
Lu Yang pondered deeply, unwavering, continuing his calm and thoughtful consideration:
'It can only be due to external forces. Now I am the focus of the world's attention. Although the four Dao Lords have not descended to the mortal realm, they have also turned their attention to me.'

This is nothing; on the contrary, it perfectly matches the imagery of "fire from the sky."

The problem lies in the attitudes of the various leaders.

Needless to say, the World Honored One harbors a deep-seated hatred. The Sword Pavilion Daoist Master has yet to make any move, while the Holy Sect Ancestor intends to travel to the chaotic history created by the World Honored One himself.

Where is the Daoist Master of the Daoist Court?
'Theoretically speaking, the Daoist Master wants me to seek gold, since that would bring [Heavenly Fire] into the Daoist Court—why not?'

'but.'

A shadow gradually fell over Lü Yang's face.

The important thing is simply the [heavenly fire].

Personally, I don't care.

The Daoist Master of the Dao Court only wants the Heavenly Fire to be incorporated into the Dao Court. As for who will witness it, who will witness it, and whether it will be successful, the Daoist Master of the Dao Court probably doesn't care much.

In other words——

'If failing to obtain the gold would result in the [Heavenly Fire] falling into the control of the Dao Court, then the Dao Lord of the Dao Court would definitely not hesitate to thwart my attempt to obtain the gold.'

Lu Yang had actually seen similar tactics before. In his previous life, didn't Angxiao deliberately fund Suoqian's quest for gold, and then use the wrong "Wanling Guixu Dao Jing" to make him fail in his quest for gold, thus pulling Changliushui into the underworld? Would the Daoist Lord of the Dao Court not understand the same methods?

If that's really the case.

Thinking this, Lü Yang sneered inwardly: 'It seems the Daoist Master of the Dao Court has become [Soaring Sky], I'm becoming [Surging Call], and [Heavenly Fire] has become [Flowing Water]!'

So, who will write that problematic "Wanling Guixu Dao Jing"?
Lu Yang lowered his head and looked at his palm. Ever since he ascended the throne in the Dao Court, there had always been an invisible connection that he could not shake off.

'【Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws】!' In an instant, Lü Yang felt his heart lighten, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun, and he finally saw clearly the many schemes that had been imposed on him.

"During our exchange just now, True Monarch Feixue seemed to keep mentioning the World Honored One, and her words implied that my entry into that chaotic history was aimed at him. However, there's probably more to her words than met the eye; there are some things she dares not say more about, because the [Immortal Kingdom's Dao Laws] still reside within me!"

The Buddha's forbidden knowledge is just a facade.

The truly valuable and insightful advice he received was actually the last sentence, "Nine out of ten chance of winning, but certain death," which he only said after he asked for it himself!

'Damn those four Dao Lords, not a single one of them is reliable!'

Lu Yang cursed inwardly. If he hadn't suspected the Dao Lord of the Dao Court, then True Monarch Feixue wouldn't have said a word. That's really the style of the Holy Sect.

You're stupid and blindly trust others, so what else is there to say?

The Holy Emperor does not support useless people!

Fortunately, he had spent several lifetimes in the Holy Sect and was experienced enough to know that no one else's words could be trusted, only his own decisions could be trusted.

'The Daoist Lord of the Dao Court is plotting to seize the Heavenly Fire and might try to harm me. The World Honored One doesn't want me to attain Dao and will definitely kill me. Although the Daoist Lord of the Sword Pavilion has remained silent so far, he might have his own plans now that I have cultivated the Unyielding Sword Intent. And the ancestor of the Holy Sect has already laid his trap for me.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang couldn't help but curse again:
'You beast!'

I just wanted some gold, not some Nascent Soul cultivator, so why are four Dao Lords serving me? These powerful beings have no morals whatsoever!
Is this the treatment of someone in the highest position?

'Fine.'

Lü Yang exhaled a deep breath, regaining his composure: 'It's nothing more than trying to survive in the cracks; for that, I must understand the schemes of the various Dao Lords.'

Only with intelligence can we find weaknesses.

'The Buddha's schemes are obvious, but his shameless act of frying fish is hardly anything special.'

'The key to the Daoist Lord's scheme lies in how he plans to seize the Heavenly Fire, and whether this will truly lead to my failure to obtain the gold and my death.'

"Things are alright at Sword Pavilion; Master Dangmo is holding them off for me."

'Finally, there is the Holy Ancestor.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang stroked his chin: If he didn't understand the Holy Sect's founder's thoughts before, he now had a better grasp of them:

'Is the Holy Sect's patriarch perhaps targeting the Daoist Lord of the Dao Court?'

As I always say: balance!

After all, the World Honored One has already suffered a great loss this time. If he suffers another loss, the balance between the Dao Lords will be disrupted, so the scales need to be readjusted.

The Holy Ancestor's goal might have been to prevent the Daoist Lord of the Dao Court from obtaining the [Heavenly Fire]!
The more Lü Yang thought about it, the more likely this guess seemed: 'To the Holy Sect's patriarch, whether I prove [Heavenly Fire] or not is probably not a big deal.'

After all, there's another one above, [Angxiao].

The key is to prevent the Daoist Master from obtaining the [Heavenly Fire] through my hands.

In other words——

'In the Holy Ancestor's scheme, I either wouldn't prove it, or if I did, I had to succeed! That's why he granted me the opportunity to travel through a chaotic history.'

After all, compared to the explanation that the Holy Ancestor was a kind-hearted person who liked to cultivate his own descendants, the reason of scheming against the Daoist Lord of the Dao Court is undoubtedly much more reliable.

In an instant, Lü Yang suddenly understood:
'So my primary goal now, besides returning the descendants of Zouyu, is to find out how the Daoist Master of the Dao Court is plotting to seize the Heavenly Fire.'

Knowing the method is the first step to finding a solution.

As for the clues, the Holy Sect's patriarch has already given them to him:
'A distorted history! That's the World Honored One's private domain; the Daoist Master shouldn't be able to reach there, nor monitor my every move.'

"Besides, that place has a very deep connection with the present world, but its future development is completely different. Some have even attempted to verify the [Heavenly Fire] there. Therefore, the method by which the Daoist Master of the Dao Court seizes the [Heavenly Fire] is a secret in the present world, but it may be different in that chaotic history!"

　The fourth update will be added tomorrow morning.

　　Furthermore, I can understand if you say I'm just filling in the gaps, since I haven't been updating enough, but I don't accept that I'm slowing down the progress.

　　Just you wait, on July 1st, I'll make sure the comments section is filled only with praise for me.
