Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 565 Undercurrent
Inside Feixue Palace, Lü Yang sat cross-legged for a day and a night, his fingers never stopping their calculations, and his handsome face visibly became haggard.

Her originally jet-black hair now had a few strands of white frost.

This is rarely seen in Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Not to mention that Lü Yang is a True Person at the peak of Foundation Establishment, the strongest person below the Golden Core stage. The fact that he is so haggard shows just how much he has been drained.

For a whole day and night, he tried to deduce a way to break the deadlock, but the result remained shrouded in darkness. In the face of absolute power, all his calculations were as meaningless as an ant trying to shake a tree, unless he gave up on [Heavenly Fire], committed suicide to start over, and chose an ordinary fruit position to try again.

Without a doubt, that was the easier path.

Even Lü Yang had a plan: after restarting, he would choose [Pomegranate Wood], then, as a True Lord, gather various resources, and once he had complete confidence...
Let's come back and try to prove [Heavenly Fire].

It's a very well-thought-out plan. I believe that if we proceed in this way, aside from wasting a few more pages of the "Book of a Hundred Generations," the chances of success should be much greater than they are now.

However, the next second, Lü Yang extinguished all thoughts of reopening.

Admittedly, attaining the ordinary fruit level is an easier path, but only the supreme fruit level is the foundation of the Nascent Soul stage; the ordinary fruit level is just a waste of time!
As for the former True Lord, it's meaningless to wait until you've accumulated enough before returning to prove your Supreme Fruit status. After all, no matter how well you prepare, can you overpower a Nascent Soul Dao Lord? In the end, you still have to fight for that sliver of hope. Once you prove your Supreme Fruit status, you will inevitably enter the Dao Lord's field of vision and inevitably suffer calamity.

'I can't back out!'

Lu Yang was certain that this moment, this lifetime, was his best chance. The aura was perfectly in sync with the [Heavenly Fire], and even in dire straits, he still possessed ambition!
However, if you cancel, you can choose to reopen.

Others may not know, but he himself knows that his fortune will inevitably decline at that time, and his chances of winning the [Heavenly Fire] challenge will be even lower!

Lü Yang stood up and walked towards the palace gate.

The next second, the world spun around them, and smoke and clouds suddenly rose up. A familiar figure emerged from the clouds, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lü Yang.

"Excellent, very good."

Seeing Lü Yang's exhausted appearance, True Monarch Feixue laughed instead. She was stunningly beautiful, yet she also possessed an indelible air of valor and heroism.

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang gave a wry smile: "How can someone of my appearance be considered good?"

"That's exactly how it should look."

True Monarch Feixue nodded solemnly: "Because this is precisely the evidence that you haven't given up on yourself. Go all out to find a way out."

"We cultivators only fear the absence of a path ahead, not the dangers along the way."

As soon as he finished speaking, smoke and clouds rose up again.

Coming to his senses, Lü Yang found himself standing outside the palace. Turning around, he discovered that Feixue Palace was gradually disappearing into the mist and clouds.

The next second, the beam of light descended.

Chongguang stepped out and his gaze immediately fell on Lü Yang. He was taken aback for a moment, then his expression showed understanding: "Is there anything else you need, fellow Daoist?"

".Nothing available."

After a moment of silence, Lü Yang cupped his hands in greeting and said, "I apologize for the embarrassing situation, fellow Daoist."

Chongguang waved his hand and looked at Lü Yang solemnly: "We are fellow Daoists, why say so much? I will wait for you to ask for the gold first, and after you have finished your business, I will go and take the throne."

This is not a matter of heroes cherishing heroes, but purely a matter of self-interest.

Unlike Lü Yang, after Chen Tu reversed, Chong Guang had almost 100% confidence in obtaining the [Covering Lamp Fire], but the fundamental crisis was not resolved.

【Angxiao】!
Even with the help of True Monarch Feixue, who had achieved the late stage of Golden Core, he would still have a hard time facing Angxiao alone. However, if there were another True Monarch who had attained the Supreme Fruit, it would undoubtedly greatly affect the difference in combat power between the two sides and protect the Dao Fruit that he had worked so hard to obtain.

Therefore, both publicly and privately, Chongguang hoped that Lü Yang would succeed.

"Fellow Daoist, you are very kind."

As a Saintly Sect True Person, Lü Yang only paused for a moment before understanding Chongguang's implied meaning. While acknowledging his understanding, a spark of inspiration ignited within him. 'After racking my brains without finding a solution, let's take action first, one step at a time.'

Lu Yang took a deep breath, bid farewell to Chong Guang, and stepped into the sea of ​​clouds. Dark gold light flowed around him, and the mountains and rivers pushed him into Jiangdong.

They continued on their way until they landed inside the Tianwu Palace.

Of course, it should be called Huanming Hall now.

Almost simultaneously, a streak of light shot in, and then Empress Xiao's curvaceous and graceful figure emerged, revealing a slight smile:
"came back?"

Lu Yang nodded and took a deep look at Empress Xiao. She had already chosen to join the banner, and to him, she was undoubtedly someone he could absolutely trust.

"Come with me, I have a treasure to show you."

The two entered the inner palace, and another day passed. When they came out again, only Lü Yang was left, while Empress Xiao had been hiding in the deep palace for a long time without showing herself.

At first, as the current ruler of the Dao Court, second only to Lü Yang, Empress Xiao's sudden disappearance might have attracted the attention of the Dao Court officials. However, after learning that Lü Yang had returned and that the two had spent a day together in the palace, everyone dispersed, saying that this was normal.

Of course, there were also die-hard loyalists of the Tianwu royal family who privately cursed:

"Adulter and adulterer!"

However, no matter how they reacted, no one cared about Empress Xiao's disappearance. Everyone continued as usual; after all, it was a demon dragon, so it was normal for it to be strong.

However, many people did not expect that Lü Yang would disappear after that.

He would only appear in the world once every one or two years, and each time he would go straight to Empress Xiao's palace, disappear immediately after finishing, allowing Empress Xiao to rest for several months.

And just like that, ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

During these ten years, the once relatively stable Dao Court gradually began to be rife with rumors, claiming that the false dynasty's demonic dragon was nearing its end.

The loyal Imperial City Guard cultivators naturally wouldn't let the rumors go unchecked. Under Empress Xiao's order, "These are no ordinary troublemakers; we must take strong measures!" the Imperial City Guard expanded to cover the entire Jiangdong region, instantly becoming the largest department of the Dao Court.

However, the more it was suppressed, the more the rumors intensified.

"I think that demonic dragon is finished, and has anyone noticed that the positions of the high officials are becoming increasingly unstable? Don't forget, His Majesty and the Three Dukes will eventually return!"

"That demonic dragon must want to ask for gold."

"Are you kidding me? A mere demonic dragon wants to prove [Heavenly Fire]? Impossible!"

"Just looking for death!"

"It's a pity. Actually, this demonic dragon is quite talented, but it's too arrogant and doesn't recognize its own potential. It insists on proving the [Heavenly Fire]."

The rumors quickly spread to the Jiangnan region, the Jiangbei region, and overseas.

As a result, the Imperial City Guard expanded its recruitment further. For a time, the number of Imperial City Guard spies even exceeded that of the Daoist officials, and they began to suppress rumors throughout the world.

Under such strong suppression, the rumors gradually disappeared.

Peace returned to the world.

However, beneath this calm, all Foundation Establishment cultivators could sense an undercurrent, and those with exceptional insight would even examine the sky daily.

Because it is in the heavens above.

Despite being widely criticized and believed to be on the verge of collapse, Emperor Huanming's favor towards him, the Heavenly Fire, showed no signs of dimming.

Instead, it was brighter than ever before.
