Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 585 Why is black smoke coming out of this mountain gate?
Thanks to the Daoist Court and the Pure Land, the news of Lü Yang establishing his sect spread throughout the five regions of the world in an instant, following that earth-shattering battle between True Lords.

The Path of Righteousness!
Overnight, this name became the talk of the town among all the independent cultivators. Not only were Foundation Establishment cultivators discussing it, but even the mortal world had heard of it.

As for Lü Yang, he quickly rose to become a top figure in the five regions of the world. Some even regarded him as one of the top True Monarchs in the world. After all, lower cultivators had no understanding of the early stage of Golden Core or the middle stage of Golden Core. They only knew that they were all True Monarchs, so naturally, whoever had the bigger name was more powerful.

Immediately, public sentiment surged.

Some people yearn to go and visit the mountain to cultivate themselves, while others are dismissive, believing that it is just a flash in the pan and that Pure Land Buddhism and Buddhism will soon make a comeback.

Most of these are mediocre people.

The truly intelligent people have already taken action.

Jiangxi, [The Path of Righteousness].

As a beam of light descended, the [Eternal Paradise] opened, and a figure was guided by it, landing directly outside the mountain gate of the [Righteous Qi Path].

This is the disciple-acceptance mechanism established by Lü Yang. All cultivators who wish to join the [Path of Righteousness], whether they are mortals, independent cultivators, or even disciples of other sects, can immediately activate the [Heavenly Fire] by silently reciting the name in their hearts, and then the [Eternal Paradise] will be responsible for guiding them.

After a long while, the figure gradually came to its senses.

This was a young-looking cultivator with a cultivation level at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. His appearance was gloomy, and the first thing he did upon waking up was to warily survey his surroundings.

However, he soon realized the truth:

'The Path of Righteousness. It's actually true. I merely silently prayed for a way to survive, and I was actually guided and transported to Jiangxi?'

However, the next second, he looked suspiciously at the gate of the Righteous Path before him, hesitant, not out of doubt, but because something seemed a little strange:
'Is it my imagination?'

Why is black smoke billowing from this mountain gate?

According to what he heard, the Righteous Path was established by a great supernatural being. Because the sect was newly founded, it opened its gates to all, teaching without discrimination.

Judging from the rumors, this powerful being was clearly a kind and benevolent person.

As a rogue cultivator, he was all too aware of the harsh living conditions of rogue cultivators. Their supernatural abilities and cultivation techniques depended entirely on luck, and a slight mistake could lead to the extinction of their cultivation.

Even if one is fortunate enough to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, they are still at the lowest level among Foundation Establishment cultivators. They do not understand cause and effect, nor do they understand the combination of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends. They only have brute strength. If they are confined to one place, they will die in comfort and may live a carefree life for several lifetimes. The more they strive, the faster they will die.

With that thought in mind, the cultivator immediately cast aside all his worries.

Since he was discovered to possess a priceless treasure, he has been relentlessly hunted down in Jiangbei. Since he's already at rock bottom, no matter which way he goes, it's all going upwards!
Fight!

The next second, the cultivator tensed up and stepped into the mountain gate emanating black mist, his previously clear consciousness instantly becoming hazy.

Meanwhile, inside the [Path of Righteousness].

Lu Yang sat upright in the main hall, looking at the space inside the Myriad Spirit Banner with satisfaction. In just a few months, he had gained tens of thousands of cultivators who came to join him.

And all of them joined the banner voluntarily!

'Now that things have come to this, it's time to forge the Myriad Spirits Banner again.'

Lu Yang pondered to himself, "Indeed, the Myriad Spirits Banner, crafted by the Innate True Person, is exquisitely crafted and can even conceal a fruit position. It can be considered a top-grade treasure below the True Treasure."

However, as he attains the status of a True Lord, it is foreseeable that the usefulness of the Myriad Spirits Banner will decrease. In fact, as Empress Xiao, Suo Huan, and Ancestor Ting You attain the status of True Lords, Lü Yang can clearly feel that the Myriad Spirits Banner is operating beyond its capacity and has even reached its limit.

'This is still because there are two heretics.'

Of the three True Lord souls, only Suo Huan is a legitimate True Lord. His soul merged with the metal element, resulting in a qualitative change. The souls of Ancestor Ting You and Empress Xiao only experienced quantitative increases.

Otherwise, the Myriad Spirits Banner would have exploded long ago.

Therefore, in Lü Yang's view, reforging the Myriad Spirit Banner was urgent and could not be a simple reforging. If it was to be forged, it had to be forged once and for all.

'A real gem!'

Lu Yang planned to refine the Myriad Spirits Banner into his first true treasure. Coincidentally, the fact that the Myriad Spirits Banner governs the spirits of the banner itself also aligns with the imagery of [Heavenly Fire].

However, ideals are often grand.

The reality was that Lü Yang tried three times in a row, but couldn't even take the first step: separating the image of the fruition from the fruition itself. 'Insufficient cultivation, inadequate practice.'

Lu Yang frowned, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he saw another banner spirit break through the air and fall into the Myriad Spirit Banner.

"More goods have arrived."

Seeing this, Lü Yang smiled slightly and habitually performed a soul search. Fortunately, this was a Qi Refining cultivator, so the father and son who had helped him with the task didn't need to work together.

However, soon after, Lü Yang raised his eyebrows slightly.

"This person."

Lu Yang calmed himself, sat up straight, and began to carefully examine the young cultivator in front of him. Through soul searching, he learned that the cultivator's name was Han Qingyun.

A hermit from Jiangbei.

Originally, he was just an ordinary member of the thousands of rogue cultivators, whose cultivation level was hovering at the early stage of Qi Refining, unable to even cross the bottleneck of the third level of Qi Refining.

However, a chance encounter changed his fate. It was a round mirror. As long as you put something into the mirror, you could make a copy of it and then take it out. Pills, talismans, cultivation techniques, and weapons could all be copied. Thanks to this, he rose to prominence within three months.

Three months ago, he was still in the early stage of Qi Refining.

Three months later, he had become a Qi Refining Perfection Grand Cultivator. His speed surprised even Lü Yang, and he was not far from being the same level as Lü Yang back then.

"A celestial mirror?"

With a thought, Lü Yang sent a mirror-like object flying out of Han Qingyun's arms and into his palm, but it did not display any special properties.

Then, he glanced at Han Qingyun, who was unconscious.

"Too young."

Although he was from Jiangbei, he was ultimately just a rogue cultivator who had never experienced the Holy Sect. He didn't even understand the fundamental principle of cause and effect that every opportunity has a pitfall.

But this is normal.

After all, for Han Qingyun, the Mirror of Heaven was the foundation of his rise. Who would doubt their foundation before rising to power? Rise to power first, then worry about the consequences.

'Luckily, you fell into my hands and joined my [Path of Righteousness]. With me overseeing your progress, you won't have to worry about being tricked by malicious people anymore.'

Thinking of this, Lü Yang looked at the celestial mirror in front of him again:
"Whose handiwork was this?"

Lu Yang stroked his chin, quite intrigued. If even he, at his current level, couldn't see through it, it was definitely not a treasure made by a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It can only be a true lord.

As for the wonder of this copying and replication, it is somewhat like the Water Path fruition, but when you hold it in your hand, it is not quite like it. Instead, it feels more like the external path fruition.

"Trying to hide it from me?"

Lü Yang smiled, then extended his palm. The overlapping images transformed into a dazzling array of colors on his hand, reflecting a brilliant golden light:
'【Deprivation】!'

No matter what secrets this treasure holds, once I take it away, it will be my treasure. Then, whatever secrets it holds will have to be revealed to me.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the originally plain and unadorned celestial mirror trembled violently, and then a blurry human figure gradually appeared on the originally smooth mirror surface.

"Ok?"

The other party did not reveal their true appearance, but conveyed a sense of surprise. Then, without saying a word, the entire mirror was about to shatter.

"Want to go?"

Lu Yang stood up, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Interesting! Come back here!"

Lü Yang's intuition told him that his actions of getting along well with Xia Xiu and enjoying the company of the people had unexpectedly yielded unexpected results, and he had probably caught a big fish!
