Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 558 The World is a Vast Initial Saint Sect

Lü Yang didn't have to wait long.

Almost a month after the conversation ended, Lü Yang sensed that his puppet had been reactivated and immediately projected his consciousness onto it.

However, this time, the scene before them was drastically different.

This was a magnificent and imposing platform. When Lü Yang looked at it, he saw that it reached straight into the sky, much like the [Star-Picking Tower] that he had built in the Dao Court.

'However, it's several stories shorter, only half the height of the [Star-Picking Tower].'

Of course, this is normal, after all, he is the only one who holds power in the Dao Court, while Hongtian, although the Grand Preceptor of the Immortal Court, is clearly just one of the power holders.

The next second, Lü Yang looked at Hong Tian, ​​who was sitting upright on the high platform, and said loudly, "Fellow Daoist requests gold."

"good."

Hong Tian nodded upon hearing this and said, "After all, I had already made thorough preparations. If it weren't for my conversation with you that day, I should have asked for the gold half a month ago."

"The reason I invited you here is to have you witness this." Hong Tian smiled slightly as he said this: "After all, how can you see it clearly from the outside as you can from here? Here, you should be able to see it clearly and understand it. This is my way of thanking you for your guidance."

Just then, a voice suddenly entered Lü Yang's ears:

“I buried something on that lonely island overseas. If I succeed this time, I won’t need it. If I fail and die, I will give it to you, fellow Daoist.”

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Before he could respond, Hongtian seemed to have resolved his inner conflict. He exuded an aura of arrogance, and with a flick of his sleeve, he stood up and walked confidently off the high platform.

"Boom!"

Hongtian stood there in the sky, his aura spreading far and wide in an instant, and the entire world of the "pseudo-history" couldn't help but feel a sense of connection.

Almost simultaneously, the [Heavenly Fire] shone brightly.

Lu Yang could see clearly that a beam of spiritual light was rising slowly above Hong Tian's head, revealing countless phantom palaces—his blessed land.

'【Hongguang Blessed Land】.'

Centered on this blessed land, Lü Yang saw a dense network spreading out, which was the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Law], called [Heavenly Kingdom Supreme Law] in the [False History]. They were essentially the same thing, and this great network was now expanding recklessly towards the five regions of the world!

'here we go!'

Every place this large net covers is illuminated by the light of the "Heavenly Fire," and Hongtian's energy becomes stronger, bringing him closer to his heavenly position.

This is the ritual for "Heavenly Fire".

Soon, Lü Yang seemed to see all the living beings of the five regions of the world, mountains and rivers, and all the lands of the nine provinces appearing one after another, all pressing down on Hong Tian.

"Kacha! Kacha!"

In that instant, Hongtian's body made a visible cracking sound, but the next second, his body shone with a dark golden light.

【sky】!
Hong Tian had also cultivated this second-grade technique, and now, with the added power, he easily withstood the weight brought by the Nine Provinces and Myriad Directions.

And just as he bore that weight.

Throughout the five regions of the world, from the lowest level of flowers, birds, fish, and insects, to ordinary mortals and even Foundation Establishment cultivators and spiritual treasures, everyone felt a heavy sense of oppression.

To rule the world is to treat the world as one's own!
This is the function of the [Heavenly Fire] ritual. Only by ruling the world can one turn the entire world into a stepping stone to the place where [Heavenly Fire] is located!
At the same time, Hongtian took its first steps.

Beneath his feet, a scene of trillions of mountains and rivers appeared, piled up into steps, allowing him to step down and surrounding his figure as he walked step by step toward the heavens.

The next second, his figure vanished.

'Upgraded status; Foundation Establishment realm no longer exists in this world!'

Lu Yang instantly shifted his perspective, and even the Foundation Establishment True Persons and Golden Core True Monarchs in the [Pseudo-History] turned their attention to the Foundation Establishment Realm at this moment.

At this moment, Hongtian stood within the Foundation Establishment Realm, his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky. He saw that the radiance of the [Heavenly Fire] was even brighter here, because it was a high-level place that transcended reality, the lowest level of the [Sea of ​​Bitterness], and the only way to enter the Fruition Realm and cross the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

The sea of ​​suffering is boundless; one's position is the boat.

Refining the Golden Elixir and attaining a higher status is like a mortal struggling in a sea of ​​suffering finding a raft, no longer needing to worry about drowning at the bottom of the sea.

"Boom!"

A dull, resounding boom echoed within the Foundation Establishment Realm. Hongtian continued upwards, the light and shadow beneath his feet still converging, lifting him and his blessed land as they slowly rose.

At the same time, Hongtian slowly began to speak:
"[Di Si Ming]."

As soon as he finished speaking, the twelve-tasseled imperial crown landed on his head, its divine radiance making the steps beneath him, formed from the light and shadow of all living beings, even more solid.

Hongtian continued upwards.

Like an ordinary person climbing a mountain, with the [Heavenly Fire] hanging high in the sky, he climbed step by step, stepping over all living beings, toward his goal.

He only took a short rest halfway through his journey, only to find that the road ahead was still long and winding, with no new steps appearing beneath his feet; it seemed the path had ended there. However, Hongtian wasn't surprised. After resting for a moment, he uttered another Daoist phrase:
"【Guiyuan Palace】".

In an instant, the landscape beneath their feet changed, with pavilions, palaces, and houses appearing—the very creations of civilization borne by this land. At this moment, they also became stepping stones for Hongtian.

After being filled with this new imagery, the steps beneath Hongtian's feet regained their luster and spread towards the direction of [Heavenly Fire].

Hongtian continued upwards.

At this point, Lü Yang could no longer see the other party clearly, only vaguely discern a figure shrouded in light, as rolling thunderous sounds reverberated:

"[Heaven and Earth Unite!]!"

The illusion of the steps was enhanced by this supernatural power, with the addition of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and peaks. At this moment, all things in heaven and earth were plunged into darkness!
It was as if all of heaven and earth had been placed into the steps beneath Hongtian's feet!
until--

"Whoosh!"

As the first ray of fire was lit in the darkness, everything was illuminated again. It was the [Heavenly Fire], and below it, a figure stood.

Hongtian stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the supreme position before him.

Then, he nodded slightly, and as his lips parted, light seemed to appear. Finally, his voice rang out, calm and serene, yet each word resounding:

"【Panlong Root】!"

At this moment, all four innate divine abilities manifested their wondrous power, jointly propelling Hongtian and his blessed land forward to step into the [Heavenly Fire].

At the same moment, the celestial fire, which was always high above and elusive, came incredibly close to the mortal world for the first time. It drew the hands of all mortals to the sight of the sun and moon shining together, as if they could easily pluck it down with a mere touch.

"Catch it!"

At this moment, the Celestial Court stirred.

The Heavenly Law, which should have been supporting Hongtian, suddenly retracted, like a fishing net waiting for fish to take the bait, and suddenly covered the Heavenly Fire!
Not only that.

Even Hongtian's [Hongguang Blessed Land] was caught in the net's capture range at this moment, and it began to dissolve instantly!
In order to capture the [Heavenly Fire], the [Heavenly Law] was now completely unmasked.

All images are fully revealed.

All of this was clearly seen by Lü Yang, who was located directly below the place where Hongtian proved his Dao, and he saw the truth hidden behind that large net.

'One, two, ten'

Lu Yang couldn't help but hold his breath, because at the very bottom of that huge net, he saw countless caves filled with dazzling stars!
It's not fragments, not wreckage, but a complete cave!
In an instant, Lü Yang recalled a legend he had heard about the Daoist court: every emperor of the Daoist court would pass away on a dragon-drawn carriage a thousand years after his ascension to the throne.

They brought with them their own private paradise.

"hiss!"

Lu Yang gasped, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave. What was this about accompanying the Dao Lord? He had clearly become nourishment for the [Immortal Kingdom Dao Laws]!

At first, the net was quite small.

Until it captured its first prey: the first emperor of the Daoist court, whose origins, background, and status had long been buried by the weight of time.

However, as it captured more and more caves, its scale grew larger and larger, eventually reaching its current magnificent and terrifying size.

'The "Celestial Kingdom's Dao Laws" are actually the Dao Court's "Sword Dao Rank"!'

It was proven through the true skill of the first rank!

'No wonder the Dao Court keeps its borders closed and ignores foreign affairs; its Dao Lord has already laid the foundation, so it doesn't need to do anything but develop!'

The entire Daoist temple, the entire Jiangdong region.

Everyone is merely resources for the Daoist Lord of the Dao Court. Even the seemingly carefree and self-cultivating royal family members are actually just higher-level materials!

'It's practically like a ranch!'

There was a time when Lü Yang felt that compared to the Holy Sect and the Sword Pavilion, the cultivators of the Dao Court lacked individuality and seemed quite out of place in this wretched place.

Only now did he realize:
'Mortals are chickens and ducks, cultivators are pigs and cows, and even royalty and emperors are nothing more than sheepdogs guarding the pastures! We're all animals, what's the point of having individuality?'

It was just like—

'The Holy Ancestor's style!?'

For a moment, Lü Yang opened his mouth wide, speechless: Yes, the Daoist Master's design for Jiangdong is exactly the same as the Holy Sect's design for talent.

It was even more extreme than the Holy Ancestor.

'Could the Daoist Master of the Dao Court also be connected to the Holy Sect?'

'The World Honored One studied at the Holy Sect, and the Daoist Master of the Dao Court is also related to the Holy Sect. So this wretched place is actually a giant Primordial Holy Sect!?'
